I had a dream. I was driving with no headlights. I wake up. In darkness, I remembered I was driving with no headlights last night. No, that was the dream. No, that was last night. No, it only happened once and it was in the dream. Wait, it was twice, it happened last night that was why I had the dream. I don’t know anymore – 5 min to alarm.
Sometimes, each day feels like a dream. Struggling to find what is real by questioning the present, and questioning the past. Dreaming becomes a part of reality, just as vice versa. They become an equivalent of each other.
I was once told reality is what you gather from your senses – see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. And if proven reality is otherwise, what does it matter if your senses are all you know? I loved ‘The Matrix’ so much, because it challenged the idea of reality. What do you trust, when you can’t trust yourself? How do you know what your senses are telling you is real? It could all be ‘Brain in a Vat’.
Luckily, not everyone need to know what reality is, as long as we can all live. Some accepts that life is full unknowns, others do not. Some need to live as far away from reality as possible in order to keep their sanity.
Often the daily decisions I makes each day, none of them seem real or hold any significant values. Until consequences hit, right there a focus is found, thus reality.
