Pick Up The Rope of the Universe

It came to me in a dream some 10+ years ago. I entered a completely white room with no windows or doors.  As I entered, the opening behind me closed, leaving me in a totally white void space.  Suddenly I noticed a rope hanging from the side. It appeared white also, and about the size used in junior high to climb to the ceiling in gym class, except it was attached by a metal plate to the white wall in front of me.

I picked it up and started pulling on it, as tho by pulling I could escape this white room. After a short while, it occurred to me that I was accomplishing nothing and still in the white room. So I dropped the rope!  As soon as I did, the white room disappeared and I was free.  Ever since that dream, I have tried to remind myself to “just drop the rope”.
