If life is a dream, death is when we wake up.
Maybe life is just a dream, and when we die we will awake into our “real life”. Then, when our “real” version of us goes back to sleep, we come back here, to Earth, but as a different person. Almost like reincarnation…
…If life is just a dream, death is when we wake up…What happened before we were born? What will happen to us when we die? What I just said would answer both of these questions…
Maybe before we were born was when our “real”-selfs went to sleep. And when we die our “real”-selfs wake up.
I don’t believe ALL from what I said. And I know I basicly repeated the same thing twice, but worded differently. I did that because the way I explained it, in my opinion, was very confusing.
I like what Faust said. How could be possibly define “real.”
Going off Mohegan’s logic, and if “real” can only be defined by our senses or mindset, doesn’t that make both the dream realm and this present realm real? It’s possible there is an alternate, matrix-like reality. It’s just as likely that all realities are “real.”
I would define “real” as something that we beleive is there. For instance, i have no doubts that the computer i’m typing on is there; thereofore is real. So when we’re dreaming, we beleive it’s there, so it’s real to us. Until you become lucid. But where is “there”? I don’t know. I also beleive “real” has continuity. Real things continue. When i dream, the dreams don’t start where the others left off. It’s a rare ocassion when i dream and everything looks the same in every other dream. When i’m awake, there is continuity. That’s all i have to say.
The dictionary definition of “real”
Real- being an actual thing; having objective existence; not imaginary.
My definition of real:
It matters how you look at the concept of “real”.
Just like everybody else has said.
Your computer is real
I am real
My couch is real Are dreams real? To me…sort of…I see it, but it is not actually there. So, about half and half… Is death real? To me, yes. But, is anything real after you die? I don’t know…
Like I said before, life could be just a dream. And when you die, you conscious “wakes up”
Or maybe it’s the other way around…Right now could be “real”; but when you die, everything can become a dream. Like I said, dreams are real in a sense…so, is after death real?
I just sort of came up with this in about five minutes, so don’t go with this exactly. But, somebody should take what I said (along with everybody else’s) and come up with your own conclusion.
I think it is. For example … I believe at live after death (going to astral world) so this is kind of physical dream and after you death you will “wake up” … But there are few people which can go to astral by AP. And our dream person can go to this world when it wake up. By the way Confucius was dreaming. And his dream was that he is butterfly. After he woke up he didn’t remember if he is man a he dreamed about butterfly or if he is butterfly and he is dreaming about man
Is life a dream? It’s an interesting question, but it always makes me think: Does it matter? Is it really that important whether it’s actually real or not? I mean it seems pretty real to me, and I’m enjoying it, so I think I’ll leave the postulating to others and just get on with it.
If when I die I wake up someplace else then I’ll know, and I’ll say: “Well, fancy that!”
A few years ago, I had a dream. In it, I was a dream character of someone else’s dream. It was a strange feeling, to be something and nothing at once. To be flesh and bone one minute and the next to be a mere thought. It’s hard to explain, but that was how the dream felt. I dreamt, in all technicality, that I was a dream character of a dream character.
This thought has pervaded me since. If we are truly part of a play, a dream, then who’s the dreamer? And if it be a god, from which religion? And what truly defines a god, if they are but dreamers in this world only to wake up to their own reality, awaken in their own homes?
When we have attained lucidity, it is said we are the god of the dream. When we awaken, the dream is gone, succumbed to ‘reality’. Whatever happens to those who reside in the dream? Does it become a rehash of Judgement Day? A saying does go along with that… “A million years is like a minute to God”.
Sometimes we say our gods no longer care about us, or we have angered them somehow. Maybe, it is not that we angered them, but that they don’t have control over their own dream?
Your Reality is no more real than dream. THIS is scientific FACT. Click my friend
Inportant note: Truth is so rare treasure that it will hardly be showen clearly sometime…read only the first two pages, the author of that page is strongly influenced by his religion and…just read only first two pages.
Eyesight cannot perceive Him but He perceives eyesight… (The Koran, 6: 103)
That what I’m trying to explain to people when they ask me why to remember dreams or why to dream. Because as long we dream it feels real, and it’s all because of a brain, and that feeling and expectation and security and power we experience in dream can be easily embraced in WL! At least in my opinion!
That’s a very good point and well made.
