Dreams Are More Real Than Anyone Thought

 

As Dr. Robert Lanza said 'Dreams Are More Real Than Anyone Thought!' The secrets dreams can unlock ultimately derive from the basic fact that reality is a process that involves us ― a conscious observer. We assume the everyday world is “out there” in a more real or independent sense than is the world of our dreams, that we play a lesser role in its appearance. Yet recent studies show that day-to-day reality is every bit as observer-dependent as dreams are.

Dr. Lanza explains Dreams are far more than the spontaneous, random firing of neurons that some insist they are. They must likewise be far more than the activation of random memories already contained in the brain’s neurocircuitry.

True, dreams often contain a mix of emotions and things we have previously experienced, but in dreams, there are often people, faces, and interactions that the dreamer has never experienced before. A dream is an instantaneous, nonstop narrative that often seems as real as real life itself.

How could this tapestry of enormously complex interactions and scenarios be the result of nothing but random electrical discharges?

In dreams, we’re not just watching an “external world” and passively imprinting memories in our neural circuitry. How is it possible for the brain to do this?

How are all the components of the experience fabricated from scratch?

While dreaming, we’re not observing events and perceiving stimuli. We’re in bed, asleep—yet our minds are able to flawlessly create new people and settings and have them all interact effortlessly in four dimensions. We’re witnessing an awesome occurrence: the ability of the mind to turn pure information into a dynamic multidimensional reality. You’re actually creating space and time, not just operating within it like a character in a video game.

While it’s easier to appreciate the astounding nature of this process when it comes to dreams, it’s the same process that applies to our nondream lives. According to biocentrism, we’re always not just observing but creating reality.

During dreams, however, the brain has fewer limitations since it needn’t obey sensory inputs that themselves are limited by physical laws, and thus the mind can generate experiences unlike the consensus world we’re aware of during the day.

New research by theoretical physicist Dmitriy Podolskiy, in collaboration with the author and Andrei Barvinsky, a leading expert in quantum gravity and quantum cosmology, has revealed something remarkable. The presence of extended networks of observers defines the structure of physical reality and spacetime itself.

In dreams, we leave the consensus universe and experience an alternate cognitive model of reality, very different from the one shared by other observers while awake. In dreams, the fine structure of the wave function of the universe around us is delocalized and largely unstable. This instability explains why you often have more power while dreaming; the values of observables representing the basis of reality are more fluid. The new research also suggests that the presence or absence of observers influences the very dimensionality of the universe.

Biocentrism says space and time are tools of the mind, and dreams seem to further support this idea. If space and time were truly external and physical, as commonly believed, how could the brain create something indistinguishable from them within a dream? We think our experiences at night are just dreams and not real. But dreams and what we perceive as reality are essentially of the same nature. By following the implications of quantum mechanics without bias, we arrive at the unification of everyday reality and dreams. Persistent puzzles about the nature of dreams, reality, and our lives all fade away.

In the Bible, we come across a number of places where dreams play a role in advancing the story of God’s people.

In Genesis 20, God kept Abimelech, the king of Gerar, from sleeping with Sarah by giving him a dream. In Genesis 28, God appeared to Jacob in a dream and showed him that He was with him in the land of Canaan. In Genesis 31, an angel of God told Jacob to leave Laban and go back to Canaan. In Genesis 37, Joseph has several dreams that predict his rise to power. In Genesis 40, Joseph interprets the dreams of the cupbearer and the baker, and in Genesis 41, he interprets Pharaoh's dreams.

As we read these stories about dreams, we might wonder: Does God still communicate through dreams today? The Bible shows that God has guided His people through dreams. Nowadays, there are reports of Muslims and others finding faith in Christ through dreams.

Putting this all together, we might ask ourselves what we should think about dreams — both in the Bible and now. The answer is complex and requires looking closely at the Bible, especially the differences between the old covenant and the new. But by considering these factors, we can come to a thoughtful conclusion about dreams.
