I am realizing that dreams and reality are not that different. And i need to talk about it!
That realization comes with a twinge of shock, so I am hoping to hear some ATS thoughts on the matter.
Just like most of us, in every dream, I am living some story. When I wake up I think to myself "that was just a dream".
But while I am in a dream, I think this reality is the dream. This reality seems like a story worth a couple of seconds of content and this reality
feels like - just a whimsical hiccup.
But when I'm on this side of the fence, the opposite is true.
Could everything always be just a dream and all that reality is, is a dream classification of a dream where the dreamer is present? Maybe reality is
overrated. Or dreams might be underrated.
These stories that we brew whether we are asleep or awake, are pretty insane.
To suggest that dreams and reality only differ in the presence of the dreamer, suggests there is some third state we could be in. A non dreaming
state. Is that possible?
Regardless of which dream or reality we are present in, our attachments, feelings, and experiences are just as significant.
The only thing that seems to change with the translation between dreams, is memories.
Do you ever dream you are another person, or are friends or married to someone who has never been there in reality? Or do you ever dream that you are
looking at yourself? Do you ever dream that you are made up from more than 1 person?
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
I have been dreaming a lot about dreams.
