Life is a dream…
Discussion
Now for a heavy weight conversation.has any body else seriously ever thought about that on a higher level of who we are or were we really came from . Over the years gave it some thought and think it’s a possibility
...there is nothing to prove or disprove the theory that the only thing seemingly real in this world is the dream your dreaming ...

Has anyone? Yes - lots of philosophers…...there is nothing to prove or disprove the theory that the only thing seemingly real in this world is the dream your dreaming ...

I’ve never studied philosophy, but the above might match with the stuff in bold.

This reminds me back in school days in a class being taught by the head of re .I once suggested opening a meaningful conversation with the possibility if god was sort of made up or how there was strong evidence it does exist for a non believer. as I’d like to hear it .it wasn’t even discussed and I went to naughty room after that I thought what a load of bs
Goes to show how gullible and easily led people can be .

When my nan died, we held both a Buddhist and Christian service. Of course the Christians refused to attend the Buddhist service, yet the Buddhists all attended the Christian service....

Despite their protestations (no pun intended) it seems that Christians can be most un-Christian.When my nan died, we held both a Buddhist and Christian service. Of course the Christians refused to attend the Buddhist service, yet the Buddhists all attended the Christian service....
Talking World War 3 Blues
… One time ago a crazy dream came to me
I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three
I went to the doctor the very next day
To see what kinda words he could say
He said it was a bad dream
I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though
Them old dreams are only in your head
… I said, hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain
He said, nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane
He grabbed my arm, I said ouch
As I landed on the psychiatric couch
He said, tell me about it
… Well, the whole thing started at three o'clock fast
It was all over by quarter past
I was down in the sewer with some little lover
When I peeked out from a manhole cover
Wondering who turned the lights on
… Well, I got up and walked around
And up and down the lonesome town
I stood a-wondering which way to go
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter
And walked on down the road
It was a normal day
… Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell
And I leaned my head and I gave a yell
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man
A shotgun fired and away I ran
I don't blame them too much though
They didn't know me
… Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand
I seen a man, I said, 'howdy friend'
I guess there's just us two
He screamed a bit and away he flew
Thought I was a Communist
… Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave
I said, let's go and play Adam and Eve
I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'
When she said, hey man, you crazy or sumpin'
You seen what happened last time they started
… Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown
And there was nobody aroun'
I got into the driver's seat
And I drove down 42nd Street
In my Cadillac
Good car to drive after a war
… Well, I remember seein' some ad
So I turned on my Conelrad
But I didn't pay my Con Ed bill
So the radio didn't work so well
Turned on my record player
It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin'
Tell your Ma, tell your Pa
Our loves are gonna grow ooh-wah, ooh-wah
… I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue
I needed somebody to talk to
So I called up the operator of time
Just to hear a voice of some kind
When you hear the beep
It will be three o'clock
She said that for over an hour
And I hung up
… Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then
Sayin, Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams
But mine was a little different you see
I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me
I didn't see you around
… Well, now time passed and now it seems
Everybody's having them dreams
Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else
Half of the people can be part right all of the time
Some of the people can be all right part of the time
But all of the people can't be all right all of the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
I said that
