"To achieve CHIM is to realize this, to recognize the Godhead, to see that everything is His dream, and to know the absolute non-reality of the Aurbis.
CHIM is both an event and a state; in the event, one realizes this falsehood of reality, and in the state, they must balance and maintain this realization with a perseverance of the Self, the ability to say "I Exist” when all signs and powers practically force the opposite.
At the point of enlightenment, or at any point afterwards, one may fail; the “1” of Existence and “-1” of non-Existence collide and “Zero-Sum”, and the individual is unmade, undone, ceases to be. This is where the analogy of the Tower threatening to break comes in; a lapse in willpower, or awareness, the loss of the “I” of the Self, and the Tower-that-is-CHIM is broken. Zero-Sum.
In knowing that everything is merely an extension of the same dream, one gains the omnipotence and omniscience of the dreamer, since they are a part of all things and people and events that have ever been. Thus, one has power over this ‘reality’ in the same way one can move his arm. It's like a little part of the Godhead having a lucid dream, where He is still dreaming, though He knows He is dreaming, and thus has control over His dream. Control over everything. This is CHIM."

This is but a taste of the profound and mysterious depths of the lore of the Elder Scrolls.
