I think pain is too real for this to be a dream. Death might be the beginning of a permanent dream, who knows? But life itself is not a dream. Otherwise what would be the point of sleeping? Good question. I have often thought about that myself. If we are in a dream, why do we sleep? I think sleep is just a lower level of dreaming and as we become more aware of ourselves and our reality we are slowly waking up. If you notice, new born babies sleep a lot. They also learn a huge amount in the first five years after their birth. I think they sleep in order for their brain to process information and input that they have experienced during their waking hours. It is the same for us. As we sleep, we process information and organize it, and we wake up refreshed in the morning.

I believe we dont exist because this is a holographic reality Hmmm...who's in charge of producing these holographic images? lol

http://www.springfieldcolorado.com/poems/dreamworld.html The above link is to a page on my site with the poem below, but it has neat pictures and background to go with it. Illusions The Mountain Last night I climbed a mountain in my sleep. It stood before me wondrous and steep. And at the top I opened up a flask, And drank some wine to celebrate the task. My two companions shared the victory. We viewed the world before us, as far as we could see. The wind, the birds, the sky, the lakes below. We might have stayed, but we had to go. Then something plucked me from the mountain top. I watched it disappear, I could not stop. I awoke, still with the smell of lake and air. I could not find the mountain anywhere. With the memory still within my waking brain, My friends, I yearn to see them both again. Now I walk across the prairie, flat and bare, I think of my companions, the mountain, lakes and air. These are the illusions, that are not really here. The dreams that fade, the friends that disappear. I love this vast and open land, with snake and fowl and stone. I wait for God to pluck me up and take me to my home. Very nice....pretty Jeannie. Kat

If we weren't real I don't think we'd be limited to a physical, mortal form and I don't think we'd have untapped potential like we do, using only 10% of our brains. Even our insane world would get boring after a while to whoever was watching us or dreaming us. This is reality whether we like it or accept it or not. I think less outlandish ideas make more sense, like this is just one piece of a multiverse or something.

That is why scientists cannot find the higgs boson. It does not exist.

My teenage son said this on the matter... "Dad, you have to be alive in order to dream..." Case closed. Then we must be alive... somewhere in some other dimension perhaps. This dimension works just fine for me.
