Is life a dream?

Top scientist asks: is life all just a dream?The idea that life, the universe and everything in it could be an illusion dates back more than 2,000 years. Chuang Tzu, the Chinese philosopher, who died in 295BC, wondered whether his entire life might be no more than a dream. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article391138.ece

Dreaming mind

"The dreaming mind recalls past impressions.It sees again what has been seen; it hears again what has been heard, enjoys againwhat has been enjoyed in many places.Seen and unseen, heard and unheard, enjoyed and unenjoyed, the real and the unreal, the mind sees all; the mind sees all."-Prashna Upanishad

Lucid dreaming

Lucid dreaming is a state in which the sleeper becomes alert and conscious that he or she is dreaming. The imagery in this state is reported to be more vivid than in non-lucid states, and it is difficult to distinguish between the dream and reality. The dreamer is able to control what is dreamed.

Dreams that slip

What is this happiness of which the poets speak? Beats me. I have glimpsed it fleetingly in the shreds and scraps of dreams that slip away with the dawn—evanescent, like life itself. The better life is, the sooner it will seem to be over, and the greater the regret at leaving it behind.

Dreams are experience

Dreams are the images, thoughts and feelings experienced while asleep, particularly strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep. The contents and purpose of dreams are poorly understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreams)

Dream things

“You see things as they are and you say, "Why?"But I dream things that never were, and I say, "Why not?"”
