We don't need to get all mystical about this. Real life has consequences that dreams do not. Try walking out in front of a real truck, and you are really dead. Do it in a dream and you wake up. If you truly mistake dreams for real life you need to be questioning your sanity. Yes, in the moment you may not be able to tell the difference, but there really is a difference.
Philosophical questions about whether all of life is a dream are all very well, but so far we can't prove any of that.

Saying that dreams are not real does not devalue them at all in my view.
They are what they are, a model of the real world that can be difficult to distinguish.
I wouldn't be so quick to conclude that dreams are imaginary. Quantum physics says that people's imagination (expectation) dictates the result of potentials.
It's not sanity that's questionable when contemplating this topic. and if the dream world is a higher dimension of consciousness, then it explains the ability to avoid consequence by choosing a different current of events. I don't know if you've ever noticed, but whenever I make an opinion about something I am doing, whatever it was I intended always happens. (if truly believed/intended). For example, if you are snowboarding and you suddenly imagine falling, you will more than likely fall. If you imagine the latter, it will also happen.

When you die you lose all of your baggage (beliefs). In order to pass through the veil. Some say that when you sleep you die.

So in this perspective, dreams represent the realm of possibility, time and potential. Within this realm exists everything that could ever happen, the result of every choice.
Ultimately this "waking world" is just a montage of specific choices played and picked out from the infinite imagination realm (death/dream plane). Meaning that world is in a sense more real than this.


That's what i've concluded from everything i've learned regarding this topic.
If you ever get to the 5th dimension in lucid dreaming you'll notice that symbols there represent ideologies, that this world is akin to someone reading a book, and each letter representing a person. (being thought into 3d through imagination.


And after all, isn't it the reader, the viewer who ultimately makes a movie/book real? How do you know that's not whats going on right now? Daydreams are highly hypnotizing.

So when you watch a movie at the cinema, regardless of what you believe about it, the fact that you watched it made it real. Because it made you THINK of what it was portraying, it made you imagine it into existence. And i'm not talking about specific details being realized into solid matter. I'm talking about situations, chapters in a book for example influencing and collapsing the quantum formula which dictates our future.

And if you think this is all philosophical, i can prove it's not. With this one idea, you could understand pretty much everything going on in this collective reality.
Movies, books, programs of any sort influence reality at a quantum level.

here's some "proof" to get your attention to the very real significance of this.

Programmed event:
Battlefield 3, Paris mission, Nov 13, (released in 2011).

Realized event:
Paris attacks, Nov 13, 2015.



Here's another quick example to entertain your consideration:

"They Live (1988)- movie based on short story: "Eight O'clock in the morning"
The main character in the movie: Roddy Piper, died at 8 in the morning (irl) from a heart attack.

Original story quote from "eight o'clock in the morning": "He died of a heart attack at exactly eight o’clock."

Do you see the "coincidences" here? All of this was programmed and then realized by people's imaginations.
This is just my opinion, of course.
