mati when we measure, categorize, analyze, rate and divide I guess we walk asleep. And when we see, feel, hear and intuit we rather move towards waking. In the end we dream all the time and are just changing awareness. So who will tell ... the mind, the dreamer, or the dream itself ...
I'd say it is impossible to tell one way or the other. My whole life could be a dream that I'm having.
it really doesn't matter. But maybe if you treat it like a dream maybe everything will go your way...I dunno
One possible way to check is to look at your hands. Do you see details? In other words, do you see your fingerprints, your knuckles and all sorts of other little things? If your hands don't look right, it's probably a dream.
what u should ask yourself is whether there is more validity to this dream than all the others. the idea of a dream is really that of a memory that slips away from us, breaking into several puzzle pieces that don't quite fit together. it's rarely a dream while it's going on. think about the sense of godly power and awe that comes with being lucid in one of you're dreams. perhaps enlightenment is cultivating that feeling throughout all your various forms of awareness. just remember-anything you experience is real to you, and that's all that ever matters.
take drugs...then go to sleep, then, wake up...i would suggest coleus, smoke it, or make a tea..ive been meaning to write a guide to it
if you can't tell does it matter? just try not to confuse one experiential universe with another. because not everything works the same way in all of them. doing so also tends to get taken as being some sort of illness mentally. but otherwise, flow with it. each experiential universe is in a sense ITS OWN "reality" just as long as you don't try to drag one into another, or mistake which one your in at any given time, you'll probably be just fine. =^^= .../\...
