Thread: "Everything is of the substance of dreams" technique?

The only real difference in dreaming is that you have no external stimuli, so your brain makes a model based on your feelings, desires, expectations etc.
So you never actually see or experience things directly, you just experience your brain's representation of it.
If you realize this in the waking state, and think of waking life as a form of dreaming, then you should theoretically become more observant of the dreams as well.

Thanks for your answer, Laurelindo.
I'm familiar with that line of thought, although I don't agree with it 100%. I agree with you that theoretically that "technique" should work, but never knew of anyone who claimed have used it... And no one answered to this thread saying they do.
I personally do not feel comfortable with the idea of going around IWL thinking everything is a dream, I would rather do SAT, ADA or something similar, but I was wondering if anyone had tried and with what results.
