If life is but a dream, am I the dreamer or are you dreaming me?

Question

and what happens if the Dreamer wakes up?

Answer 1

Both, the observer cannot exist without something to observer, and vis versa, the observed cannot exist without the observer. That is what quantum physics seems to hint at. The most subtle quantum event we can sense is even called and "observable". It is what is *between* the observer and the observed that matters. The process itself.

And what happens if the dreamer wakes up? I dunno, maybe some new existence with a universe of new laws, or maybe eternal bliss and knowledge, maybe nibbana, who knows! My 2 cents anyway :)

Answer 2

If life is a dream, then there must be a dreamer. But be sure at the time of happening of the event it looks real, and real indeed. It certainly passes of to give space to the new event. Thus Life is a chain of experiences. This makes us to believe that the Dreamer is always awake and active. When we find the real dreamer the " I " (ego) who is the witness to all that happenings around us never die, only the events die.

Answer 3

Well, I am the conscious one in my life, so the only person that definitely can exist in my head is me, thus as far as I go, I am the dreamer, and you are the dream, and vis versa. In other words, I am dreaming you and you are dreaming me, but in each or our respective minds, we exist, otherwise its arguable that we would not have self-conscience. As far as what happens, if I am dreaming right now, and I wake up, you, as I know you, and as my mind as formed you, remain there someplace, stored but no longer a part of my active mind.

Answer 4

My first experience of you would have to have some significance to be relevant to thus induce dreaming.

If there is no experience, there is no dream.

Life is but a dream, for we live in it 1/3rd our lives. it is a necessary thing. If not, our bodies would waste. It is necessary for the mind to give over its physical status and leave it up to the spirit to interpret or rather, clear out, what has been attained in a day.

You are the dreamer, the writer of the "story" within you. Choosing your own path in life is the story of your sojourn in life. Had it not been, you would cease to think and to cease to think is the body in transitional death.

Answer 5

I think that it can be both and if the dreamer wakes up life is over?

Answer 6

Sadly life is not a dream....no way the mental capacity of our brains can operate and create a global function. Didn't you ever watch the Matrix?

Answer 7

Death is the dreamer.

Answer 8

You are not a dream. You are a figment of my imagination while conscious.

Answer 9

we could also be dreaming about ourselves.
