What if our dreams were reality?

  1. What if our dreams were reality? And our lives were a dream? Like say you dreamed of playing soccer and some other dimension you are playing soccer?
     
  2. Then would our dreams be reality and not dreams?
     
  3. than I've done a lot of fucked up shit..
     
  4. The thing is, I live reality every day, but dreams are different every night.

    Not only that but dreams seem to be influenced by what happens in reality.

    The real question is how do you ever know if you are dreaming if not?

  5. My... My brain hurts...
     
  6. I think our 'real lives' are real, and our dreams are real...dreams happen on a higher plane of reality, different, more fluid, but real nonetheless. Another level of your being exists on that plane, it is a plane of reality that corresponds to a level of our being.
     
  7. why "higher" plane?

  8. I think dreams are a portal to a spiritual realm.
     
    and "reality" could be a dream. Just a very vivid dream with concrete rules and structure.
     
  9. Is that not the case? The realm of dreams exists in reality, but it is not our waking reality. 
     
  10.  
    Cause it's edgy and esoteric.
     
  11. Who's to say dreams have to be "either, or"?  Perhaps they are multiple things. 
     
    They could be just the physical/biological, meaning your brain is processing residue from the day you had or a distant memory.  Those would be your simpler dreams, like a dream where you're walking the dog because you spent the day with him at the beach and the memory of that day is strongly marked with dog related activity.  Nothing special there.
     
    Other, more complex dreams could  be currently scientifically unmapped tapping into human DNA coding that hints (purposely or accidentally) at some things we have the potential to developing but haven't yet.  The most obvious example are dreams of flying.

    A third option could be the whole "tapping into other realms and frequencies" deal.  You might be scratching the surfaces of other realities that exist somewhere else, in another time and place.   Who knows, maybe some magma-born creature at the bottom of a lava lake 5000000000 light years away is dreaming a "weird" dream where it was walking along a weird four legged furry creature it was attached to via something called a "leash" and it was "giving it treats".  It doesn't know how but in the dream the creature was called a "dog". 

    Obviously just stoner food for thought, but we are part of a species that grew up calling the pineal gland the "third eye" and many a tribal drawing and tattoo depict the third eye in the middle of the head.

     
     
  12. Let's all quantum leap into multiple dimensions and take a nap shall we? (entirely serious)
