shoeshine Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 This is a subject I've pondered for a long time. Is the day-to-day life we lead "real", or when we dream, is the life we lead in dreams "real"? Do you ever think about this? I know our brains are complex, but I would be interested to know your ideas on this very complex conundrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Ive often thought this myself.I often wonder if we are in a parrallel universe, and this life is not real, but our dreams are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, isn't it? I know time seems to be spent mostly in what we consider to be " real time" in our "consciouness", but I read somewhere that our dreams also last in "real time" during "dreaming".
