“I really felt I had lost my body, don Juan.”
“You did.”
“You mean, I really didn’t have a body?”
“What do you think yourself?”
“Well, I don’t know. All I can tell you is what I felt.”
“That is all there is in reality — what you felt.”

The context of the above quote is a conversation between don Juan and Carlos about Carlos’ frightening experience with the ‘little smoke’ [humito]. It’s a good meditation on what is ‘reality’, what is ‘real’.
