What Is A Dream?

This post is based on a recent dream I had. I draw the conclusion that a dream is a form of time travel, and sleep is a time machine that transports us to different eras. We can be brought to the past or the future. Every dream ends in the present.

Let us understand the mechanism. Draw all possible events in the past and future. Connect them by paths. We obtain a graph. Figure not shown. So this graph represents all possible histories. This graph violates cause and effect. A past event can be connected with a future event and back to another past event.

The journey through time is a flight in micro-gravity. Here, gravity is a cause and effect that is lifted up. A causal connection is one possible connection where the past is connected to the present and the present to the future.

This also helps us understand the process of life and death. We are sitting in a time machine 24/7. Life is a journey through a causal path, and death is an acausal travel. Life has a definite span, and thus, this journey in the time machine is temporary. Whereas death is a permanent journey in micro-gravity.

Note: This post was written immediately after I woke up from a dream. There are no guarantees that you will remember the dream if you wait until morning.
