That is a very interesting point of view. Yes, I think that could be possible.

Yes life sometimes sounds like an illusion and this illusion in the matter of fact is an illusion; otherwise life is very much true and one should be very pragmatic about it. This is natural that everything has a beginning and an end too, weather this is a dream, meal, life, journey etc.

I don't necessarily live that way - but yes... there are moments in life when you get a wake-up call.... and that this is when you need to deal with the facts of life, take control and deal with the situation(s) at hand. Things become extremely clear - far clearer than a dream - that is for sure.
People living in denial (dream state) only hope to wake up, but they do not even try to hope - they just wait and hope someone shakes them hard.

sometimes i come across myself to think- is this real?i start to think about it and think i could be in a dream!but then to quote descartes"i think therefore i am", by the very means of thinking about this, i must be awake. the material world could all be unreal, all of our senses could deny our existence but our thinking is always there!if we were placed in a place without people and are isolated from birth, we might still ask ourselves who made us?why are we here?these thoughts cannot be inserted-it is evidence we exist.
dreams seem very real but they are a byproduct of the brain's chemicals when we go to sleep, it is obvious that humans need sleep, and dreams are a aby-product of this. so yes, every dream has an awakening.

If I thought life was an Illusion or a dream, I would be doing much better!

No I do not feel this life is an illusion, and yes I do feel that there will be an awakening!

yes it is. like shankarachrya's philosophy suggests.
the world is maya (illusion) individual souls at made of real self n maya. we have to get rid of maya to reach our ultimate goal (liberation/salvation).
When we get rid of maya, the physical world ceases to exist, so ultimately the physical world is a dream-an illusion.

Extraordinary subject. I started putting some thought to it, believe it or not, when the Matrix came out. My conclusion was... What difference does it make? Really?

Go out to the garage,and pick up a hammer, then bash your foot as hard as you can. You'll find out real quick if your awake or dreaming

No. This is the real thing and you better make the most of it because there are no double features, reruns or reverse modes.
