We have realized something that we incredibly dislike about humans. They can be so close-minded to not even understand the young mindset of a child, or even of an adult. No, this does not apply to everyone, but it does apply to many. They believe that a child cannot grasp reality, but the truth is that an adult who has become so accustomed to being told 'it's impossible' that they are the ones who cannot truly grasp reality.
This reality which we are referring to is the reality of dreams.
Dreams are real. Whether or not physically real, they are real in one way or another. When you fall asleep, your entire body shuts down, but your mind does not. Not completely. Your subconscious is very awake, which is why many dreams are so chaotic. In fact, your subconscious takes things much more seriously than your conscious mind. Through time, as a human grows up, their subconscious becomes more locked away than it was as a child. To a child, a dream or a nightmare are just as real as reality, because your subconscious rules while you are asleep, everything that happens within your dreams is just as real as reality. Telling a child, "It's just a nightmare" may work for some, but many, it never does because that nightmare was reality.
Within your dreams, unless you are among the small population that can control them, your subconscious rules. As such, nothing in the world exists but that dream while you are asleep. If your reality is 'reality' when you are awake, and a 'dream' is a dream while you are awake, why is it that dreams have such an effect on your conscious and subconscious mind? To us, reality is reality, but dreams are not just dreams. A dream is more than a dream, because a dream exists within the 'dream reality', we shall call it.
This is why sometimes the most ridiculous nightmares will still scare you, because within the dream reality, it is all seemingly real to your subconscious. Essentially, your subconscious cannot tell the difference between reality and when you are dreaming. All it knows is that it has the ability to run free within that time. A nightmare to a child is just as real as you pouring a bowl of cereal in front of it. Sometimes, dreams can affect you in good or bad ways, but they still affect you, and you cannot deny that. Because if your conscious mind believes that it did not affect you, your subconscious mind still holds that entire dream reality within memory.
We believe that dreams are more than just dreams, more than even a dream reality. We believe that you can meet entire strangers in dreams, that you can tell the future in dreams, that you can even find the answer to a problem there. In fact, the last one, is scientifically proven. As such, how is it any different from reality? Connecting to someone in a dream and sharing a conversation with them could very well influence how you treat strangers in the future while you are awake. Perhaps, you will even meet that stranger in the future, even if you don't remember them, your subconscious will.
This is one of the reasons you have what you call 'déjà vu'. Often, we have seen people have dreams of things that they do the next day, but they don't remember the dream when they wake up until they have that familiar moment of 'I have done this before' or 'I did this in my dream last night'. So, if it happened within the dream then happened within reality, what would you conclude it as? Would you say that within your dream reality, you had a vision of the future? Or that you happened to do the same thing within two realities? Or perhaps something else?
Nonetheless, the reality of dreams exists, and if you will stop being so close-minded to it, perhaps you would be able to discover more about other people, and even perhaps, yourself.
