OK, ill be practical instead of philosophical - whether this world really IS or whether it is a dream that ends when you "die", i.e. wake up, this has no influence on "real life" as we think of it. But its interesting to speculate about so ill follow this thread for a bit

According to many eastern philosophies, that is exactly what life is...a dream of the Soul (or Spirit if you will). "Throughout its entire incarnating cycle, the Soul is in meditation deep." (meaning a type of suspended animation or dream state).
In that case, though, what is a dream? ------------------ |

The only thing we can be sure of, or "know" is that we exist as an entity and awareness. Knowing yourself would thus be a priority I'd imagine Does it matter if all is real or a mental construct? What matters is that we make it real through sensory reception, we can either enjoy it, hate it, bail out, or be apathetic towards it. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on....

If the entire world was just a dream of mine, (Or any of ours for that matter.) it would definitely be a whole lot wierder. To be serious you don't really know. Just live your life, or your dream, or whatever you want to call it, as well as you can until it ends.
