This original post is kind of just me getting my thoughts down, so please bear with me...
Today I realized something about dreams. In life, the only way we can perceive what is around us is from a tenth of a second in the past. Nothing around us is truly what we are seeing. Every image we see with our eyes is outdated by just a fraction of a second.
But in a dream, everything can be seen. There is no definitive "time" in a dream - people often have dreams that progress for months... in the course of eight to ten hours. Could one not have a dream that lasts eternally? Are things not exactly as they are in a dream?
Is there an intermediary between your consciousness and what is going on in a dream? Is everything not completely clear? When I look at the blue sky with my eyes, I fret about the imperfections of my vision - it doesn't seem "pure" blue. Maybe perception is actually clearer outside of the physical.
Maybe I'm totally wrong, but for some reason I feel like I had this big "light bulb moment" today.
Thanks for reading anyway. Does anyone else feel similarly?
