      Dreamality or Reality?

      It's a simple question. If you had a sudden choice between living in your dreams or living in the real world, but whichever you chose you had a very small chance of remembering the other world and all the people there, where would you choose to stay and why? And your only given thirty seconds to make a decision. Dreamality or Reality?

      reality,escapism isnt a good way of living...
      and if you were stuck in dreamality then youd get pretty bored pretty fast,say after the first few hundred years of sex,being a slob,flying and stuff.
      if you existed in dreamality where would the ideas of things to do come from? youd never learn what anything new was so youd be stuck with crappy old news and stuff. theres only so much you can do,and after a million years youd go insane of boredom

      well you certainly have a lot more to do in a dream than in reality, I'd have to choose a dream, as long as I was lucid. Anything I want to do in reality I could do in the dream.

      But as long as I share dreams and reality in my life, I won't choose escapism as a way of life.

      Reality.

      Without my Friends and Family i would probably go nuts..aka insane..and i won't be able to live.

      in my dreams it would be cool for awhile but after awhile it'll get boring...

      I would choose to live out Reality, but visit dreamland once in a while while being lucid

      Reality.

      Even after a really good lucid dream, I love waking up and finding myself back in the real world. And I also agree that real people, real friends real and family are the best. There's also something really intriguing about a world that you have no control over, whereas a dream would have no surprises because everything's in your mind.

      its one OR the other, people!

      sheesh, they may read, but do they comprehend??

      dreamality, because you never can get bored, and you can set limitations on yourself like in the real world... and people are under the assumption that the dreams will never end... i guess. it would be like a coma, and you will die EVENTUALLY....

      I'm for dream reality. Even if it didn't end, it wouldn't be bad. Over time you could train your mind to act like normal reality if you wanted, but there's always the possibility that you could create your own scenarios and landscapes to go with them whenever you want.

      I'd still pick reality. I like imagining the posibility of the "impossible" but I also have a certain liking for rules. What if you ended yourself in a perpetual nightmare?

      I'll choose dream reality.
      Unlimited possibilities are much more appealing then stable reality.

      Reality is so mundane to in my conception. Yet, dreamality- a place of boundless possibilities . . . propriety over castle-building? . . . I think not!

      Meh, I think your mind would eventually go crazy if you lived in a dream world. And what if everything suddenly turned into an uncontrollable nightmare? Sort of like Vanilla Sky, if you've ever seen it. I think reality has more possibilities than a dream world, because our minds are amazing yet limited.

      If you forget about real life then wouldn't you forget nearly everything about yourself?

      reality, i think spending your life as a dream would drive you insane... it would get pretty lonely despite having dream characters along for the ride. just realizing that they are only part of your mind would give me a lonely feeling after a while...

      Frist off, theres no such word as dreamality, Sound like a mortal kombat killing move.

      And I prefer the reality, Why would I want to hide from the truth. Dont be a coward and face reality.
      When I dream, theres always a
      little girl playing in the dirt, that
      turns to me and says "Why are
      you here? .... Are you blind like
      me?"

      What I've found
      What I've known
      Never shined to me what I've shown
      Never be
      Never free
      I wish to see what might have been...
      ...So I talk to you unbeliever.
