Ah, yes... The famous theory about seeing colors differently. Always puzzling. :)

Or so you think... Did you ever consider that you might have been knocked out and you are currently dreaming since that day? D:

Ever heard of lucid dreaming? Things such as reality checks? There are certain indicators for dreams.

This is why I think that the "life after death" might just be an infinitely long dream made by our brain in order to keep us calm while dying.

Yeah It always suprises me how it looks real even if it is extremely weird. For example in a dream I am talking with you and 2 second later it is someone else as if he was the one that I was talking with at the first place. Or I have a girlfriend and a moment later she is complately different person but It doesn't look weird in dream, In the dream I am just thinking that it was her from the beginning.

I once dreamt I was a human being. Then I woke up and realized that I'm still a dancing banana.

I once had a dream where I was dreaming, and when I woke up from the second dream, I was expecting to wake up in the real world, but only got to my first dream, I freaked out while being in my first dream, and after about what I thought was 10 min, I woke up in the real world. It was a really awesome but scary experience.

I hardly remember anything about my dreams so I can't discuss about the feeling of reality in my dream world. You can probably train your brain to determine the differences so you can determine if you are dreaming or not. Other than that why even bother if I am dreaming or not. In the end, that construct that we call reality is not the truth aswell. It is just our subjective view on the world and normally the intersection of the smallest group of significance (okay, I have no freaking idea how to translate this). What I mean basically is that if you and your two most trusted friends think that this random famous but dead person is still alive then it is still alive ignoring the 99 % of mankind telling you otherwise. It is behaviour often found with conspiracy theorists. So, yea we choose to a certain degree our own reality and if I choose my dream world to be reality, who cares?
But I admit: Loosing the ability to differentiate between right and wrong (in more than one meaning) is my biggest fear.

A thought has been wandering my mind today.
I've been thinking. Sometimes, when a person dreams, they will dream about being in a very different and weird world. Most of the times, they will also feel normal about it, as if this is how the world is supposed to be.
Your mind creates these dream worlds. Are these dreams how you perceive the real world, subconsciously? Or are they simply the reflection of the world, as you know it?
Your mind can easily play tricks with you. Dreams, hallucinations, and illusions are prime example of your mind making you believe in things which aren't actually real.
Let's assume that you are currently dreaming. As in most dreams, it feels real, and you wouldn't even consider that this might be a dream. Now, let's also assume that this dream world is almost entirely different from the real world. Multiple things are completely extraordinary compared to the real world.
However, as is fairly common, you feel like this world is the real world you know, and everything will appear perfectly normal. For example, we can reverse the roles of the real world and the dream world to understand this more specifically. Right now, you are reading on a computer screen. Let's simply assume that a computer does not exist in real life, only in your dream. Yet, it feels perfectly normal.
You'd think that upon waking up to the real world and realizing that there are no computers like in your dream, you would most definitely freak out about the fact that the real world is absolutely different in many ways from your dream world; the dream world you thought was real.
However, as soon as you wake up and jump from the dream world to the real one, the dream world will immediately seem weird and unusual, and you will feel like the real world is now the real one.
Now I ask you, if your mind is so gullible and so easily tricked into believing things which aren't real, how can you truly trust your own mind? Can you honestly tell whether or not this is a dream? Sure, it seems real and you are convinced that this is real life. However, doesn't the very same thing happen when you dream?
Our own mind can be deceived by its own lies, apparently.
Why am I posting this here? Good question. I just felt like typing my thoughts somewhere.
Oh, and I just wanted a reason to post a giveaway.
