Nondairy, all is one. Awareness in reality vs. a Dream. Different?
The nature of dreaming serves as a revealing metaphor for understanding reality. In dreams, one experiences the self as both the subject and object, yet only from within the dream's confines. Upon awakening, the realization occurs that the dream was merely an appearance within the mind. This leads to the contemplation that reality could similarly be experienced; the awareness perceiving the world through different individuals' perspectives may not be fundamentally separate. Despite unique thoughts and feelings from each vantage point, the underlying awareness appears consistent across all experiences. Therefore, the dreaming experience can be viewed as a model for waking life, suggesting a shared essence in the nature of consciousness.
