Generally, we think that dream and life are different. [Here Life I mean when you are awake and active]. Since last few months I am thinking how true this general thinking is. The more I thought to find more about it, the more strong I started understanding and believing that ‘dream and life are almost the same’. Let me tell you why I think so.
- As you don’t have control over what’s happening in your dreams, so also you don’t have control on most of the happenings in your life.
- As characters, known and unknown, keep coming in and leaving your dreams many friends and relations keep entering your life and leaving you at some point of time.
- As you keep getting angry and reacting according to the situations in your dreams, so also you do in different situations in your life.
Then, where does that difference come from? We are not worried or excited about what happens in our dreams because it’s ‘not true’ according our understanding. But we are worried and excited about what happens in our life. Why so? Because ‘our mind is active when awake’.
In fact, if I ask you what was your state of mind before one month or last year, you can feel your life before one month or year is just a dream passed away. Do you feel it real? No. Am I right?
Can we be cool and calm as we do in our dreams? Yes, we can. But, only we are clear the life is also like a dream and all the things we experience are not true, because they are not consistent.
Anyway, why should anyone treat life like a dream?
To be calm and enjoy the calmness; the calmness is what you are.
Note: There are many related things to the above hypothesis. But, they are subjective. So, I did not discuss them all. And, still there is a lot I need to think, understand and learn.
