This dream that we are having right now seems pretty real doesn't it?
This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.
This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.
At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.
We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.
These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.
From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.
I hope that helps to answered your question.
Love and blessings Don

Certainly dreams expand on what we perceive when awake and allow us to experience things we could never experience. I don't think we yet know what dreaming really is or how it is that we can have such experiences, but I agree with you that it might as well be a whole different place. For me, it has become a fairly stable world I visit, populated by friends, known and unknown, and good happenings. I may still have the occasional bad dream, but mostly my dream world has smoothed out finally in my middle age.

I fully agree. As humans, we never truly understand the very boundaries of our world even if we have explored a great deal of what we can see, hear, and touch. There could be vastly different worlds that we interact in every day but we are not aware of.
So, maybe dreams are one way that we interact with a different world.

I think that when you dream your soul travel to another plane and is able to interact with other people souls. It's able to read the future (deja vu) and make all dreams come true. It's also able to explore deep fears (nightmare). Sometimes when you wake up before your soul returns your body goes into a shocked paralyzed state (incubus attack) and you are up but can not move until it returns. Just a thought.

Cleaning the pipes out doesn't need to involve Picasso doing cubist paintings.

A common mistake by man is that he is not only somehow special, but that the world around him is also complicated.

I agree with the five year old girl who once stated: "Dreams are like television in your head."
For me, they hold no more mystery than that.

All I can say is I've had "Astro-Projections" experiences.
