How can you tell reality from dreams? Assuming you can have a dream contained within a dream, how should you know that you're not in a dream-state right now?
How can you tell reality from dreams?
Things and concepts at the edge of reality — and credulity. The bizarre and the spooky, mysteries, cryptozoology, weird coincidences, aliens, esoteric knowledge, truths with horrific implications, ghosts, and whatever else seems to fit.
You don't feel pain in dreams which is one way to tell. Like you might feel discomfort but if someone shoots you or something it doesn't hurt like in real life. But what we think is reality could be a dream where you do feel pain I guess
That is fricking complete bullshit. I feel pain in my dreams. I can hear sounds, I can hear when a demon tries to talk to me.
>I feel pain in my dreams
No you don't. If someone stabs you in a dream you might move around a bit in bed and feel that, but it's nothing like being stabbed irl. If you're sleeping in an uncomfortable position you might feel that, like maybe your arm goes numb or something
One way may be to look into laws of physics. I had dreams where I was flying without any special equipment like wings in my body.
I disagree. I've had quite a few dreams where I experienced pain as real as it could get.
You don't understand. There's no clear way to tell. The only answer is I've found is in Buddhist philosophy. The world solely exists due to the ignorance of sentient beings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_in_Buddhism I haven't found a better explanation yet.
ive always found the
>you cant do _____ in dreams!
hilarious cause we literally have no way of knowing, a lot of people say you can read in dreams but I have certainly read things in a dream
Pain in real life is felt as a condensed nightmare
Post the things that tell (you) that you're dreaming
Mine are:
- being back in school or college, especially failing a test
- hearing non-mainstream music I like played or sung by people in a public place
- specific things I have fears about
- words changing when I reread them
- small mundane things being odd, usually leading me to go "oh no, I'm having one of those /x/ moments and no one will believe me"
I have distinctly had pain in dreams, but I've also had dreams where I don't feel pain when I should.
In reality I don't have wizard powers as dramatically as dreams
Here they can always just look like coincidences happening
I'm usually am happy or at least at peace in my dreams.
You take off your clothes and start jerking off in front of people. The reaction should tell you if it's a dream.
You can't see your nose in your field of vision in dreams
did you feel me taping your head?
two different dimensions. Earth plane is solid, dreams are the lesser astral plane is soft and malleable
Live your life as though you were dreaming I suppose
>How can you tell reality from dreams?
Dreams are nebulous and not stable. You can't study the physical laws in dreams as well as in this place.
Awake conscience is objecitve
Dream conscience is symbolic, uniting objective and subjective
Spiritual conscience is subjective
Right now my conscience is primarily objective, therefore I'm awake.
Easy, I read your message, and I read it again, and it's the same message.
I can even do it a third time!
In a dream, the message would have changed. Many times.
Try it out next time you're dreaming, go to dream's EerieWeb and try to read a message more than once, it'll keep changing.
a high resolution dream would keep a consistent message
you cant fry an egg in dreams
How does God know he's not dreaming? How does he know he is in fact God?
You can't wake up from this shit, no matter how hard you try.
Only legitimate answer in this thread unfortunately. Unless we can find a way out
There's always a way out if you're determined to find the answer to op question.
here's a reliable method that should work for anyone on this board:
you can't have sex in a dream.. oh wait, you can't have sex in real life either LOL
the material world we know as reality is upheld by more abstract realms, like the astral realm.
So uh. If you understand a bit of kabbalah tree of life you can say that the highest sephirah at the top called kether is the divine spark, pure light, it has no form yet, then it progressively reaches the final conclusion which is the material world or god's creation.
Kinda trippy and i dont fully get it myself. but to say that life is a dream isn't a terrible analogy, but the dreams we have when we sleep are you going from this material world into heavenly realms.
study a bit neville goddard and you'll know that your dreams greatly impact the nature of your next day
...life is but a dream.
"Waking Up" doesn't mean to cease dreaming. It means you're awake in THE dream, effectively "lucid dreaming"
Food for thought, what would a dream/thought of God be called?
T H I S.
The general slowness of movement in dreams, and obvious elements that are out of place.
For example I live on the 9th floor and therefore don't have a garden, but I had one in a dream recently.
Also the presence of a 7' M-cup blonde elf with purple eyes probably indicates it's a dream too.
