YOU MIGHT BE OBSERVING YOUR LIFE

FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE JUST AS

YOU OBSERVE YOUR DREAMS

A person drinking coffee in his dream can feel the exact taste of the sugar, the milk and the coffee, when
there is no coffee or any other drink there. If someone were to come up to him and tell him that he is just
dreaming, and that there is no coffee, then the person would reject such an idea. He might ask how it

could be just a vision when he felt the heat of the coffee on his tongue, and when after drinking the coffee
he no longer felt thirsty. He would ask how it could remove his thirst if it wasn't real? However, he un-
derstands only after he wakes up that the coffee, which he thinks he drank, was an image formed in his
brain, and that sensations such as warmth and thirst, which he felt while drinking the coffee. were per-
ceptions formed in his brain.

Our experiences in our dreams and in the real world are based on the same logic. We experience both
dreams and the real world in our mind. The only reason we believe that our dreams are imaginary is that
when we wake up, we find ourselves in our bed, so we believe that we were actually sleeping and saw
everything in our dreams. What would happen if we didn't wake up and continued dreaming? Would we
be able to realize that we were not actually dealing with the originals of any of the things we lived and
saw in our dream? Of course not. Unless we wake up and discover that we have been sleeping, we can

never realize that we have been dreaming, and spend our entire life by supposing that this is our real life.
So, how can we prove that our real life is not a dream? Do we have any information about what happens
when we depart this life and find ourselves watching the pictures of our present life from a different loca-
tion?
