What does the writer mean in this paragraph? I'm reading a book called Dying to be me, and saw a paragraph like this: "I’VE NOW WELL AND TRULY LEARNED THAT when I become centered—when I realize my place at the heart of the universe and feel my magnificence and my connection to all that is—time and distance become irrelevant. If you’ve ever been in a deep sleep and involved in an intricate dream that culminates in the ringing of a doorbell or phone, and you suddenly awaken to find your doorbell or phone actually ringing, then you’ve experienced timelessness. Even though the device only started going off a few seconds prior to your waking up, it feels as though the entire drama of your dream revolved around that final moment. This is what life becomes like when you truly realize that you’re one with everything. Time and space lose all significance." I don't understand the example " If you’ve ever been.... final moment" that the writer wrote to show "This is what ....significance." Why does the write write that? Thank you!
