The Question of the 21st Century

I was dreaming and I became lucid. I decided to ask some people some questions. I asked one,"How do you feel about being a character in a dream?" He answered something like, "I can't really say."

Then I asked a woman who helps run my Church(not that I blieve in god) the question:

"I know we're dreaming, so where are we?"

She responded:

"That is the question of the 21st century."

I was in our school computer lab and I have no clue why she was there.

I of course thought this was really cool so I decided to not ask anymore questions and so that I could remember this and have lucid sex instead. Incidentally this was the first time I've had a wet dream. One of the wierdest things was not knowing what time it would be when I woke up I was wondering if it would be midnight, or three, but it turned out that it was like 6:15(I usually wake up at 6:55).

What do you think her answer meant?

Dear Belisarius,

It has been mounting since perhaps the time when the Catholic Bishops, in the Scholastic Movement, fell in love with Aristotelean Philosophy and all became good Greek and bad Christians, but as each Century progressed, the Human Spirit drifted more away from Spiritual Awareness to the barraness of inferential logic and material isolationism.

The 20th Century has given us the extreme reach of this nihilistic materialism and individual isolation.

But it seems the Pendulum will now swing back. The Ball will take a bounce. The answer to the question, "If this is a Dream, where are we?" will be answered in two most very different ways by the rank materialist as from the Spiritualist. The materialist will stipulate that a Dream is virtually nothing in its meaninglessness, only being a circulation of garbage from the 'subconscious' mind. The Spiritualist will insist upon Higher and
Collective Influences from a Realm of Spirit that influence these Dreams, and that there are too many points in common between the dreams of everybody for us not to suppose that these Subjective Realities do not therefore have a True Existence... true enough to warrant serious attention.
