I don’t tell you it’s a dream to scare you. I tell you it’s a dream because a) it is a dream and b) I want you to awaken to the vastness of the universe and the exciting possibility of that which lies within you. YOU ARE PURE CREATION. YOU ARE A MIND CAPABLE OF GREAT THINGS. If this is a dream, imagine what this means for you?? Life becomes a happy game you play. You would not react at all to anything. Sadness would become impossible for you. Fear becomes impossible. You are now observer and participant, fully consciously aware that you are directing this whole show. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AWAKE. No one is doing anything. Nothing is happening. When you stop, you will see in that instant, everything else stops along with you. When you don’t react, nothing else reacts. Try it. See for yourself.
But as long as you are unaware that you are dreaming, you will believe random things are happening to you that are out of your control. To realize you are dreaming and that you are the dreamer of the dream places causation where it belongs: in your own mind. Here lies total freedom. Pure creation. Here’s where “miracles” occur.
Here’s some great quotes:
Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one. –Albert Einstein
Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. —Albert Einstein
How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another in the waking state? —Plato
I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now? –John Lennon
All that you see or seem, is but a dream within a dream. —Edgar Allan Poe
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. —Buddha
Hope is a waking dream — Aristotle
This phantom world gave you false signs
But you turned from the illusion
and journeyed to the land of truth. —Mevlana Rumi
People fancy they are enjoying themselves,
but they are really tearing out their wings
for the sake of an illusion. — Mevlana Rumi
Those who have compared our life to a dream were right . We sleeping wake, and waking sleep. ~Michel de Montaigne
A wise man, recognizing that that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering. —Siddharta
You create your own universe as you go along. The stronger your imagination, the more variegated your universe. When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist. — Winston Churchill
Matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There’s no such thing as death, life is just a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. –Bill Hicks
The most dangerous thing is illusion. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
“He who dreams of drinking wine may weep when morning comes; he who dreams of weeping may in the morning go off to hunt. While he is dreaming he does not know it is a dream, and in his dream he may even try to interpret a dream. Only after he wakes does he know it was a dream. And someday there will be a great awakening when we know that this is all a great dream. Yet the stupid believe they are awake, busily and brightly assuming they understand things, calling this man ruler, that one herdsman–how dense! Confucious and you are both dreaming! And when I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming , too. ” —Chuang Tzu
The life of this world is but comfort of illusion. —Koran 3.185
Some men look at things the way they are and ask “why?” I dream of things that are not and ask “why not?” — George Bernard Shaw
This world we think is real is merely an illusion generated by our own minds and doesn’t actually exist. It is a holographic illusion. And by manipulating our sense of reality that belief in what is real manifests itself as a three dimensional holographic illusion. If we start to realize that we are creating that reality we dont like we can take control of our consciousness back from the manipulation; deconditin from the reality we believe in and create a completely different illusion. It will still be an illusion but a nicer one. —David Icke
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. — Henry David Thoreau
Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake. — Henry David Thoreau
The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. —Paul Valery
I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream. — Vincent Van Gogh
The fundamental delusion of humanity if that I am here and you are out there. —Yasuntani Roshi
A hallucination is a fact, not an error; what is erroneous is a judgment based upon it. —Bertrand Russell
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. — T.E. Lawrence
We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When we understand this, we see that we are nothing. And being nothing, we are everything. That is all. —Kalu Rinpoche
Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, I hear them all at once. What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream.’ — Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
