just a "dream" as so many other enlightened beings have said, then why not be a joyful part of that dream, and be joyful that you are a part of it? I guess what i'm trying to say is : If this is your dream, and if the deepest parts of you know that you are dreaming, then why not revel in it, and dream as deep and as wonderful as you can for yourself and all others in your dream?
After typing this, I find myself realizing that this is really a question about compassion; so why isn't there more compassion and understanding in this great collective dream?

There is only one compassion.
Jesus said it best, "Forgive others for their mistakes. If you do not forgive others, your father in Heaven will not forgive you."
No Bubba preacher will give that sermon. Why? He would lose his congregation. Most people carry a grudge against certain people. If you do not forgive others, all others, then no matter what you do or say, you are not compassionate. -- It's as simple as that.

We can't control what we do in our dreams when we sleep much of the time, and the same is true for life, and how we live it. Without any goals and a motivation to keep working, then how we live right now won't change much in the future, for ourselves, much less any thought about helping others. We are too preoccupied in our own lives to really care much about anyone else, except when we either go through the same problems, or face them them family and friends with a terminally ill person.

If this is a dream, I would say it's time to wake up. I'm a realist....let's all take a reality check. You sound very philosophical, but philosophy doesn't help you when it's time to die. Only Jesus can help you then.

Nicely put.
I think because some people insist on hanging on too tightly and become rigid as a result.
