I have very vivid dreams, I almost always remember them. It wasn’t always this way.

If you don’t always remember yours you can actually train yourself to do so. It’s easy and not hokey or creepy. All you need to do is always have a paper, a notebook is best and a pen beside your bed. When you randomly wake up from a dream jot down all the random details that stand out the most.

In the morning when you read it the less specific details will slowly come back to you. The more you do this the more you will remember and you wont have to write them down any more.

But I think of this mainly because your dreams seem so real, who’s to say they aren’t real?

Whats real?

In the matrix Morpheus says: “What is real? How do you define real? If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.”

So, with this, when you dream, if it feels real and you have had that moment when you wake up where you aren’t sure if something happened or not who’s to say it didn’t. Who’s to say you  can’t secretly lead a double life?

A life where you can do what you want and there aren’t any real repercussions, where the laws of physics don’t exist the way that we know them.

Granted I know the difference between the two, but should that matter fully? No one else was there to share that experience, witness it, but that does happen often in your waking hours. People who have the inability to tell the difference, who see things while they are awake, not that I am saying I want to have those problems but it is something that I have wondered what it would feel like to experience that. If only for an hour.
