Being Aware is Real

Not much is known about dreams. Where they come from, what purpose they serve, why they come to us when we’re unconscious and what does unconsciousness mean anyways?

I separated my dreams from “the real world”. What happened in my dreams wasn’t real and the realm that they took place in was a construct of my mind.

Recently I’ve had a different approach towards dreams. I started to think about consciousness itself and how my consciousness is a unique perspective of the world that I see, not the world itself.

The “real world” isn’t the real world at all because you’re only experiencing this world from your point of view and your perception of this world constructs what’s real to you. Almost like dreams, dreams that are created in my mind share the same place that also create the world in which I live in.

So what’s the difference? How could one be more real than the other? I now don’t separate the two as I once did.

When I’m no longer in this form of consciousness, will it matter in which way my mind projected experiences, be it in the “real world” or in a dream?

I don’t think on a universal level, on a deeper level, on a spiritual level, that it makes to much of a difference.

So now I don’t separate the two. Or should I say I don’t make either-or to extreme. I meet right in the middle where I view dreams with a little more significance and the “real world” with a little less.

Nonetheless, they are both forms of conciseness that we ourselves can be aware of and having the ability to be aware is as real as it gets.
