“Why is it that when people begin to relinquish the world, the first thing they relinquish is common sense?” You may feel as you confront the new and magical world of dreams that you are giving up your old, narrow world. But don’t give up on common sense. Don’t give up on courtesy or respect toward the people around you.
There is no Torah (narrative) without derek eretz (correct behavior and common sense) and no derek eretz without Torah.
