No, humans do not LIVE in a world of dreams, but they THINK in one, and thought being, (in its off-duty hours), the extraordinarily lax operation that it is, there is no normal self-check function in place.
When the brain’s thinking is not engaged in survival essential matters, to which it automatically gives its complete and intense attention, it does not keep close watch on what it allows thought to do. It simply does not require that its thinking be directly tied to physical reality as with important matters, but rather lets thoughts run wild without any particular real time distinctions being made between scenes of its host human, in situations purely fantastic and what is possible and is actually going on in the host’s physically led life.
When a man gets up and takes his brain out of bed in the morning – it forgets to stop dreaming, but its dreams have no effect on the life the man leads that day. They only impact themselves. It is dreams dreaming of themselves, which ordinary men take as them being themselves internally.
A man will point to his body and say: “Although this is my body, this is not the real me. The real me is in here,” and he points to his head, to the daytime dream scenes of his body, his speech, his charismatic presence which his brain relentlessly provides to him for his viewing entertainment.
To be awake is simply to recognize entertainment when you see it –
and not confuse it for anything else…like for you.
