Maybe the dreams are true reality and what you perceive as being awake is simply a faded memory of what you believe happened. After all, your memories are mostly made up anyway.
i would believe this, if the physics in our dreams stays consistent, which it does not
Dreams are basically simulations of our lives that we run
I rarely ever feature in my own dreams. Nor do people I know. My brain invents completely fictitious stories and characters, like watching a movie or a stage play.
i did not necessarily me mean our as in the person who is dreaming, our as in mostly humans, it is like a diorama we run, not exactly playing sims in our mind
According to some prominent theories, the world of our waking experience is itself a mental simulation of sorts.
There’s a related theory that dreams basically prevent this mental simulation from overfitting our experience, so our brains are always primed to accept the unpredictable.
I mean, the real world does actually exist. But we only experience a simulation of it, created by our brain based on data from our senses. So yes, we live in a simulation, but it does correspond to reality behind it.
That could explain my dream about setting up a projector in a room with a poisonous atmosphere, where everyone except me has a space suit...
Which vault was that again?
It was a dream about my actual last job.
Or, am I really the butterfly and this is the simulation?
Someone else said it better, but I wanted to link in my man Zhuangzi.
i dont really have anything to add or ask, but appreciate what seems like unicode character in your username.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
