Humour me.
What if we make people, real conscious people, every time we dream, who then die at the end of the dream? Also yes, if that were true who’s to say that we aren’t also the figments of someone’s dream, but I don’t want to put that much effort into this particular thought.
When we dream it seems like we experience things from one perspective. We meet other weird characters who sometimes shock us. But, those other characters we meet in our slumber-stories are still technically us. They’re made by our brain. If one of those viewpoints is a conscious entity, why can’t they all be?
What if these people are fleeting splinters of our own consciousness, mighty for a moment in the half-remembered realm before they dissolve at the first touch of reality? By this warped logic, we are responsible for both birthing and annihilating countless consciousnesses every night…
… or in the day, if that’s when you sleep. Apparently some people do that.
Somehow, reading your post made me think of this.....
When water is liquid and solid (ice), we can see and touch it... it's very real. And when it is a gas (water vapour), we forget its existence until it presents itself in ways that hinders us.. condensation, humidity.... mould.
People in dreams are forms of energy that somehow is absent physically. I don't know if people i conjured in dreams are my energy or someone else's. It's hard to differentiate the air you breath is mine or yours, or the person's next to us.
Talk about dreams and people, I often have dreams of not being able to see the numbers on my phone and just can't seem to dial them correctly. Sometimes, it can feel blurry sometimes during waking times too... U did a good job confusing me....about my realities.
Uncanny. I literally am laying here having difficulty falling asleep. For some odd reason you popped into my mind. Just a fleeting moment, honestly a few seconds. Got bored, decided to check my email and here this was. Am I awake still? Or dreaming? I stopped questioning my reality a long time ago when these coincidences occur. I'm going to have to turn off the lamp now hahaha
