Seemly more and more people say they do not dream. I have read on lots of websites that everyone dreams and just most do not remember the dream (Yahoo Answers). I remember reading something about how dreams are remembered but just not recallable. It is because of this that we cannot recall having the dream. I will write a post more on memory later. What if we were never meant to be able to remember our dreams though? What if by mistake we can remember our dreams? If we did not know we dreamt ever then believing in this world would be more believable?
Let’s look at it like this, no one dreams or everyone dreams and no one ever remembers it. In this world when people go to sleep people would just wake up having not dreamt anything. What if someone then dreamt something or remembered it to the next day? It would be like going into another world. They would not be able to relate it to anything else because no one would have had a dream before. This would be more like a vision for that person.
Now back to our world where most people dream every night. Because it is so common no one really thinks anything of it. What if by mistake we remember our dreams and should have made us more aware of how unreal our world is. Ever had one of those dreams where it puts you something so unreal yet its completely believable and when you awake you need to adjust? What if our day time reality is simply just that? What if when we die or we complete what we are meant to do we wake up? There are two science fiction television shows that have done this. Life on Mars the USA version and Red Dwarf (Back to Reality) the UK version. Maybe when we dream our brain is removing our memory of those dreams because it does not want us become aware that there could be a world outside of this one. If we did not dream we could only know about this world and this reality it would be harder to reason with someone saying there could be something else.
If this is true what do we need to do to wake up? This is an interesting question as in The Matrix movies most people simply do not wake up. This is because they believe in their reality so much they simply do not want to wake up. Those that die in the Matrix do not wake up they just die. Only those that want out and are noticed are woken up. So the answer could be really one of three things, we wake up when we die, we wake up when have completed a task or are woken up or we simply are not meant to wake up. If the third one is true then there is no way of knowing. How can we doubt our reality’s exists if we see it to exist every day?
