Reality is electrical signals interpreted by the brain. The same things happen in dreams. Therefore dreams = Reality.

No it isn't, for any useful definition of reality. Perception is electrical signals interpreted by the brain.

No, it doesn't, for any useful definition of the word "same". Dreams are not the result of the brain interpreting electrical signals originating from the organs of perception.

No they don't, for any useful definition of the symbol "=".

Do we really dream? Yes.

Are dreams reality? No.

If what you say is true, then I am contacting the police; twice this year I have dreamed I won the lottery jackpot. However, on waking, no representatives from the lottery company have contacted me, and – according to you – there should be a substantial amount of money in my bank account; there isn’t (and never has been).

How do you explain this then? If dreams are real, where’s my money?

This.


Mushy, is there any chance you will actually provide the Russian references you said you would in the Dyatlov Pass thread? You have posted more than once over there since I asked you the question more than once but have yet to answer. I'm happy to take my answer in that thread or via pm.

As the great Nathan Explosion once said:

A few nights ago, I enjoyed congress with Jennifer Aniston. However, I believe if asked, she would dispute that.
 
money is only something we invented its nothing to do with reality.

I can only find the printed pages in russian. I am not going to type them up.
 
Thanks dave. You have proven me wrong. Thanks for the info. Glad to finally meet someone on here who knows what they are talking about :)

Money is a way to simplify transactions that people from many different cultures naturally start to use when engaging in any kind of commerce.
