C’è un incubo ricorrente, ben noto nella psichiatria clinica, in cui il dormiente picchia un nemico ma non riesce a procurargli alcun danno. Più furiosamente si colpisce il nemico, con pugni o calci, più egli rimane esasperatamente illeso.

Sono certo che altri tibetani in Tibet e in esilio hanno provato gli stessi sentimenti.
