Adi Shankara

[Ookafa]

When dreaming, it seems like you?re only one character, but everything in the dream is made of you. You are awareness.

Dreams express a type of consciousness.
Waking life expresses a type of consciousness.
They are not the same.
Simply because both are an expression of consciousness does not make them equal.
Same as an LSD trip is an expression of consciousness.

When dreaming, it seems like you?re only one character, but everything in the dream is made of you. You are awareness.

And in real life everything is not made of you.
You have a subjective experience which constitutes how you experience reality but if that subjective experience differs by a very large degree from objective reality it is delusion.

As I said a person can fly in dreams.
If they actually believe that I can fly in the real world they need a padded room.
