In this video, we look into the phenomena of sleeping and dreaming in an effort to explore the nature of reality itself and consider if or how you can really know that you're not 'dreaming' right now.

I often have dreams where the dream itself has its own history. Iāll be talking to someone Iāve never met in real life, but in the dream Iāll have memories about this person. These dreams are hyper realistic as they contain their own past.

one night, Chuang Tzu went to sleep and dreamed that he was a butterfly. He dreamt that he was flying around from flower to flower, and while he was dreaming he felt free, blown about by the breeze hither and thither. He was quite sure that he was a butterfly. But when he awoke he realised that he had just been dreaming, and that he was really Chuang Tzu dreaming he was a butterfly. But then Chuang Tzu asked himself the following question: "was I Chuang Tzu dreaming I was a butterfly or am I now really a butterfly dreaming that I am Chuang Tzu?"

The solution to the dream problem is to understand that there is no problem. The acceptance & observation one's own varying states of mind is key.

I binge watch these like a Netflix show. It hit when I needed it to

One aspect of dreams I always find intriguing, are those dreams that you don't remember at all when you wake up. Even though you experienced fear, happiness, perhaps even love while asleep, you have no recollection of any of it. I always ask myself: Did those dreams even happen at all? Would it matter at all? Aren't memories the only thing we have in this existence?
If this is so, one could see the parallels to life as a whole. After all, you won't remember anything when you are dead. Then, did your life even happen?

To the worthwhile person seeing this, your dream is not dead. Donāt allow the past and current pains and hurts stop and define you. Youāre more than a conqueror. Rise up and put yourself together. Keep pushing your future depends on it. I wish you all the best in life ā¤ļø.

I remember once i woke up from a dream i forgot about and then explained about it to my friends, and then i woke up AGAIN. A strange meta sorta dream ive never experienced before

As a child I used to have a reoccurring dream that left me with the feeling of the infinite void of space. It was strange, a girl I liked led me into her dad's shop, showed me his office, but when she opened the door to what seemed to be a small room was an infinite void of nothing. I've had it once as an adult.

If all this is a dream I most definitely would be impressed by my brain, Iād really thank my mind for providing me with such a wonderful, informational, philosophical YouTube account.
No for real every time after I see one of your YouTube videos, I feel like I gained so much inner knowledge and fulfillment. I feel like something inside me clicks and completes due to the words you use to describe certain things and I thank you for that.

Just another incredible philosophical video. I love how you always make me question my existence

i once was in coma for two months and had multiple dreams the entire time and i still remember them to this day , ITS CRAZY comas are so overlooked, i could hear and move and talk in real life too ā¦ i was just still stuck in my head

i once was stuck in a dream loop I still remember it to this day, it was at least 4 times that I "awoke" this only happened once but I remember it pretty vividly to this day, I Only awoke because everytime I got to the "eating breakfast" part of the routine... my mum wouldn't answer the question I asked.. then realisation set it I woke up ran downstairs asked my mum is this a dream, got no response then I woke up again and did the EXACT same thing, but finally, I got a response and knew I was finally awake, What was weird is that during those first 10m of being awake I couldn't tell the difference from my memory of the dream, and my current "reality".
english is my 3rd language, lol

Except in dreams I've realized I was dreaming and then with intention I guided it and began controlling it. I've never been able to do that in waking life.

Dreams are easily identified as dreams, as anyone who's dealt in lucid dreaming would know. Text often comes out as gibberish most of the time, clocks are often unreliable, and sometimes the amount of digits on your hands don't match reality. There are more clues that you can train yourself to look for. This ofcourse assuming we're still talking about regular 'sleep' dreams.

My theory is that dreams are simply the mind thinking "on autopilot," without interference (for the most part) from the external stimulus of "real life." That's that.
The weird thing, however, is the quality of this dream world. I've done a bit of lucid dreaming from time to time. I'm by no means "good" at it, and I could probably count those times on my fingers. And many of those times, upon becoming lucid within the dream, I will almost immediately just start to feel like I'm lying in bed thinking, and then I'm awake. But most of the times I've been able to "hold onto it" for a while, one of the main things I did was to start checking out the quality of the dream world. Like, looking closely at the details, and seeing if it was somehow less "real" than reality, like how being on a movie set and looking around is different than what you see in the movies. To my surprise, this dream world always had all the expected details. When I ran my fingers through the grass, there was dirt underneath. When I touched the trunk of a tree, it felt like normal tree bark. When the wind blew, the trees swayed.
Yeah, of course we've all had dreams where the environment and the state of things was completely "unreal," like purple skies, or pink grass, or concrete that was soft or whatever. But the point is, it can seem exactly like reality, and even in those situations with weird stuff that's not "normal," at least in the dream, the mind makes up some kind of logic to make those things completely acceptable. And this is all created in your mind. All these details. When you look closely and you see things in vivid detail, your mind made those details.
Think about this. When someone is speaking to you in a dream, they aren't really speaking to you, of course. They aren't real, they aren't a separate individual conveying "their" thoughts from "their" minds. They are a product of "your" mind, and so is all the stuff they're saying. But wait, as weird as that may be, that's not what I'm trying to say here. Now think about this. You've probably had dreams where you were in public places, with a lot of people around. And those people (and everything else going on in the background) are still making their individual noises, like what you'd expect in reality. Like, if you're in a restaurant with your friend, there may be a lot of people also there sitting at other tables doing those things. Those other people aren't just sitting there completely still, in silence, until you pay attention to them. They're having their own conversations and doing whatever they're doing. But it's not "them" doing it. It's your mind "simulating" those things. Your mind is making up random conversations of people around you, even while you're talking to another person, and that person is also responding... from your mind. And just other random noises and stuff, like maybe dishes clinking or traffic outside or whatever. Your mind... doing it all... at the same time.
Or maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe other dream people in crowds/public places are just frozen there, not doing/saying anything or making any noise at all... until you pay attention. And maybe I just never noticed, because it's a dream. š¤š¤·āā

iāve been having these āfalse awakeningā dreams lately. i find myself questioning if it was a dream or āif that happened yesterdayā often. some of the other dreams iāve recently had, i was able to tell that certain things were not right and that i shouldnāt be there. iām not sure what to make of them.

If you ever wonder whether you are in a dream or not, try counting the fingers on your hand, oddly, itās impossible to do if youāre in a dream. Also, you can try checking the time on your phone or any digital clock, then look away and recheck it. It will display a different time each time you recheck it.

What we perceive as reality is simply our brains interpretation of it. The photons hitting the back of your eye, the smell of the room around you, the feeling of the chair under your body. They're all synaptic impulses that your brain interprets and relays to you. You're not actually sensing the world, your brain is taking an elaborate tapestry of senses and weaving it together into a comprehensible narrative we call consciousness. This constant stream of subjective experience, paired with a flawed memory system is all that consciousness truly is. Like a movie is nothing more than a number of individual images flashed one after another. Or a piece of music is simply individual notes played simultaneously and in a particular order. It's all an illusion created by the brain to help you survive. So dreams, it would seem, is that system of consciousness turning on and off again throughout the night in order to prolong the healing process of sleep.

As someone who has scizoaffective disorder and has hyper realistic dreams to the point of not knowing when you wake up until half an hour or so into it, I wanted to comment on the fact of what you said about "what does it matter either way?" well, with my delusions I have come to realize, now in a more healthy sate of mind, that it is vital to my own (personal) morals and life goals that everyone IS infact real .. Because it drives me insane to think they don't see our their own eyes and experience it with me.
