We’re dreaming with the mind awake. Our mind dreams 24 hours a day.
We can perceive millions of things happening. Attention is the ability we have to focus on certain things. Through our attention society programmed us. We learned a whole new reality. A whole dream.
Language is the code that it is communicated to us.
We make agreements to accept the dream. This lets us store the knowledge.
