Mystery of Dreams

 Dreams. Aren't they mysterious? We sleep for a few hours but the dream sometimes feels like happened for days. The scaling of time changes altogether in a dream as if a different clock is running in the realm of dreams. We see dreams for a few minutes when viewed from wake up world but in the dream, we experience them for hours. 

We also know that when we face some scary situation our brain perceives time at a much slower rate. Falling from a roof feels like taking minutes even though it happened for seconds only. Now, what could be more terrifying than death itself? So maybe we see someone take only one minute to die but in his perception, it might be taking hours or even maybe months, years, who knows? 

Now combine this with the slowing of time in dreams. So what if during death we get into another dream, which starting with birth followed by childhood, teenage, adulthood, old age, and death again, which lasts for another lifetime for us (even though from this world people see us die in a minute). And in dreams, we live a new character with new people in a new world. 

Now let's take this idea to an even more abstract level. Say you enter into a dream, inside the dream, you take birth, grow up, and then reach the moment of death, where you enter into another dream and take birth again and live and when you reach death you enter into yet another dream again, and the cycle keeps going. In that case, we remain an abstract entity that cycles through dreams one after another, taking different forms and characters in each dream calling that life.

In that case, all our science maths, all our knowledge, all our relations, people around us, crumble down to one dream. Next dream you enter, you gotta start all over in a new universe with a new set of rules with new people around you. Its as if we are an abstract entity entering into dreams to express ourselves with a form.

Is this all true? Who knows? Those who know can't tell us, and those who can tell us, they don't know.
