I always feel like i'm caught between them.. between the reality of appearances that seems skin deep... the more real something appears , the more deceptive it is... and the illussions of reality unseen... i'm not sure anymore what is real and what is an illusion..
hmmm... any guesses, how you can intellectually differentiate the two?
first.. please understand my question!
thank you for your answers!

yea, i know this one....it's as if i'm caught in a state of limbo--like that state between waking n sleeping--right before sleep---when things seem very dream-like...
if you really see it, life is that way...what is our reality but thoughts? For each person a string of thoughts, so fragile! At night when you close ur eyes to go to sleep what is there to remember what happened earlier that day but a string of memories/thoughts? and these memories
are only based upon ur interpretations and perceptions of what happened--not the actual event as it occurred...and u can't touch that memory, u can't hold a thought....
maybe the reality of appearances actually are skin deep...science tells us that form is nothing but condensed energy....nothing in reality is "solid" but the brain perceives it that way--- "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."
I know what you mean abt not being sure which is reality or illusions....it's all so strange...it's like life is much more "fluid" and much less solid than before...it's like the truth of life that everything being impermanent is literally seen, n his makes things hazy....sometimes I wonder who is even answering this or talking or eating...etc.
...as for differentiating between the two, I dunno! lol. This is a strange thing. Maybe that which doesn't change is the Real: our awareness, that consciousness that is aware of all the dreams, illusions, etc. Maybe only this pure, silent background, that is there before, during, and after all phenomena, is the real.

Are you that way with every aspect of life? Or just some things in it???
If you're able to distinguish some things, start with those first and use them as "building blocks" or "stepping stones", then move forward from there.
If all aspects of life seem that way, you can get help understanding all of it and dealing with it. Stay AWAY from all the drugs and "medicines"!!!! All those will do is cover up what's really wrong and causing it and will not actually FIX the problem!

A catch phrase. just like AA. something you followed longer than intended and it kept you there without a way out. I like to read the preface of a book before committing my time and life to the suggestions.you have been caught up in the literary realm which kindles the imagination and with it, the ability to take you in any direction of event with the real sensations of life.and there is more but not at this time. thank you for the question.

beneficial hat everyone ever assist you to recognize which you bare a wonderful resemblance to Natalie Portman? i truly do no longer recognize approximately that bugs are stressful and rightfully should be pummeled right into an insignificant afterthought as quickly as they're left a bloody mess. that's like this. right that's the way it is going down. i'm the midsection-piece of a portrait being bothered by utilising nagging bugs. mutually as, one insect is finding one way and the different insect is finding any incorrect way. the two thinking on how they're gonna mess with me. To greater make clean one is finding East the different is finding West and that i'm precise ineffective contained in the midsection. to maintain me from being a canvas of their nagging I swat them to their inevitable deaths and that i glance out at my public with a facial features that reads, "Whaddya want from me." It in simple terms is a actuality of existence no longer in ordinary terms homicide, yet homicide for the superb suited reason :).

I am one of the most realistic people that I know. I can see the good in everything as well as the shite of everything.
But I have become alarmed at the amount of people living in dream worlds totally out of touch with reality...
Does this help any?

This is referred to as a psychosis. When you find you cannot distinguish reality from fantasy, you should seek professional help. There are meds that will clear up the confusion.

I get that a lot in the classroom. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between wide-awake students and those having rapid eye movement with their eyes wide open.

You can't, so you adopt a defensive posture. It is the best you can do.
