Dreams

What if what we thought was real, was actually surreal, occuring in our sleep.

Some of us Humans wake up in the morning, some of us choose to sleep in. Some of us eat breakfast...some of us don't. Some of us go to work, some of us go to school, and some of us stay home all day.

At the end of our day, we sleep. Our bodies switch from active mode, to standby. We drift slowly drift into "subconsciousness"...deeper and deeper...into a pleasant sleep or perhaps a grim nightmare.

Here's my thought....what if our lives, and the events that occur are actually created while in a stasis of sleep. What if what we do daily is a dreamy fabrication from the recesses of our minds? Have you ever had a dream with someone you didn't know or never met? Why are they there? A complete stranger just pops out of your mind and gets placed inside your sleepy scenario. Have you ever had those re-occuring dreams? Situations continue to play in your mind as though your brain was stuck on repeat. Now have you ever felt like the days you have work and/or school are boring because they are so repetitive.

So why does it seem impossible to question whether or not we live our lifes awake or spend them in a permanent coma.

Things like family and friends, work and school. Cancer and death, health and birth. All fabricated by our minds. I don't know, I wouldn't say it's impossible.

Just a thought,

-Josh
