Pardon the cliché but have you ever had a dream where you had knowledge of things, people, places and events only to awaken to find that none of it had any basis in reality? You didn’t know what you thought you did because it didn’t fit in the realm of reality, the people weren’t real nor did they even come close to anybody that you knew, and the events didn’t even echo faintly anything that you’ve seen or done. You awaken back to you and nothing more.

I once had a dream several years ago where I lived an entire life from the early 1910’s until the late 1980’s and died horribly. I awoke from it crying because of how sad the end was, but after I managed to regain my composure I began to think that maybe that is also what life is like. You awaken to yourself when you die; this world is just a figment of your imagination. I mean nobody can actually prove they exist, maybe we don’t.

Have you ever had something like this happen to you before? What did you think of it?

To me it seems these are conflicting agendas, but common nonetheless.

Is there anything in our actions that suggests that there is some innate 'human' way of being? For example, are we intrinsically opposed to such actions such murder, theft etc. or have we simply 'learnt' it? In which case, how does human culture differ from animal culture?

for her to know "it"? What is "it"?, Shouldn't she Know "it" before I say "it"? If she doesn"t know "it" before I say "it", what does that say about how I am doing "it"? I mean if I am actually DOING "it", shouldn"t she know "it" well in advance of me saying "it"? : ) XOX ( :

…it's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.

Would you or would you not agree with this?

Just curious

We live our lives. But do we think about this world? Is it safe and secure? or there are threats and dangers that can hurm it? Do we have any responsibility to it? We call ourselves "rational beings". Are we behaving "rationaly"? What your brain says? what your heart says?

It's all good and well saying that (the use of) language is governed by the rules of logic ...But there is nothing logical about emotions. So in how far has/does subjectivity (emotional input) affect reasoning?
And how is true objectivity obtained other than through something like dissocociation?
