I had an interesting dream

I dreamt of something being real and unreal. The object of focus and attention is a little boy and in it, there is this active analogy of how real can be unreal and unreal can be real.

Being real is perceived by the mind as it is, and being unreal because all these are the reflections formed out of our perceived senses. When the senses are gone or in a way 'disconnected' from the physical realm we are in, everything shuts. So our world is basically a real illusion, it is real because of our mind and being an illusion is because of the perception of our senses.

Something interesting to share is:

Maybe to them (those enlightened and dead) our physical world is an illusion and their world is then real. But to us (the living) our world is real and their world is then an illusion! So it depends on from which perspective you are looking at things and who you are at that point.

There is no special meaning to this entry. It's just something i feel like sharing after the dream and some thinking! Perhaps, The Buddha will have more to say about it. :))

Love,
