Ah! Thank you for the interesting explanation. That is indeed a different way of looking at things. I guess your "now awake" would be kind of like now aware? I think awareness is a good goal in waking, dreaming, and even in death. I am still not very good at awareness, but I am trying to improve, and the more aware I become the more I become aware of some of the false assumptions about waking and dreaming. More and more often I question whether a momory is from waking or dream, and the more I realize that sometimes it is hard or impossible for me to tell. But while I find it harder to tell my past state because i see ambiguity in memories, I am hoping to get better at recognizing my present state as awake or asleep. My best friend is Muslim and I am Christian by the way, and I am glad that she and I believe in the same God even if we worship him differently. |
