I was bored one day, and thinking about cultures that claim they can achieve enlightenment through years of meditation.
What if their quest for enlightenment is actually an elaborate lucid dream. What they want most in life is to become enlightened, so that is the main content of their dreams. As well, it's a matter of believing you can, so obviously the ones you hear of who reach enlightenment are the ones who never doubted they could.
I don't know, I just think it's an interesting topic to discuss. What if thousands of years of discipline in the search for God is really just a lucid dream induced through meditation.
