"Self" is ego, not soul. You (soul) are not your "self" (ego). Existence is impersonal, and the ego is a fabrication of the brain that compels the soul to identify with material phenomena and take them personally, keeping it trapped in the cycle.

Samsara is the shared dream/nightmare we find ourselves (notice) stuck in. Nirvana is the release from it. A buddha is someone who has woken up from the dream. A bodhisattva is someone who knows he's dreaming.
