Dreams are basically simulations

Or, am I really the butterfly and this is the simulation?

Someone else said it better, but I wanted to link in my man Zhuangzi.

It was a dream about my actual last job.

Dreams are basically simulations of our lives that we run

I rarely ever feature in my own dreams. Nor do people I know. My brain invents completely fictitious stories and characters, like watching a movie or a stage play.

Maybe the dreams are true reality and what you perceive as being awake is simply a faded memory of what happened. After all, your memories are mostly made up anyway.

no dreams are the "real" world where anything can be "created" and made to "happen" . I had a dream recently where for the first time I knew I was in a dream. I just flipped and said no way this is my dream and I thought "I'm going to fly" and I just lifted off like Superman and flew around for a bit then all of a sudden I flashed to my bedroom I was still flying above my body and suddenly like a dark "rope" or arm or something like that wrapped around my wasted and yanked me backwards towards my bathroom. I was pulling on the door frame and trying to to get away then I woke up.

we perceive a VERY small percentage of the "real" world

[sga@lemmings.world]

i did not necessarily me mean our as in the person who is dreaming, our as in mostly humans, it is like a diorama we run, not exactly playing sims in our mind

[sga@lemmings.world]

i would believe this, if the physics in our dreams stays consistent, which it does not

you seem slightly sad, wanna discuss?
