Thread: Does ignoring things really make them stop existing?

So escape is not necessarily the same as avoidance.

It has a lot of sense to me.

Although, What about when I deviate the original course of a dream into something I artificially generate to build something different which leaves behind all the initial dream plot (assuming it's not the situation described above) i.e. just for fun or whatever it doesn't represent a plausible solution? Wouldn't it be the same as turning my back to whatever my mind was trying to tell?
