But risking life in the physical reality is different from risking life in something else.

So they seem to have good level of confidence, and if there is any level for being confident, let's slot some of their body parts there.

Did you risk your life to find the truth?

Coming back to the curious questions, @Dodo, have you ever been curious what constructs the dream so beautifully with specific stories and illusions (such as making you think you are not dreaming), do you think your sub conscious mind is capable of doing all the work of creating a three dimensional location with perfectly designed atmosphere close to reality, with creative stories and rules (such as you forgetting some memories needed to live the dream fully). Comparatively, it takes hundreds of people to create such creative things in reality.

Yes, for @Dodo I thought it would be a better description since he is an expert in dreams.

Actually, a better word to describe reality will be illusion instead of dream.

What do you think creates those limiting rules in the dream? How do you think it is trying to adapt to what you wish to do inside your dream?

Yes. But how do you know awakening proves that this is the final dream, and you can escape it by your own will? What if you are pushed further into the dream by trying to escape this dream or by risking yourself or your loved ones?

Are you aware that a dream can exist within a dream?

Do you think you would be able to make the bush disappear or get yourself dressed at will?

Can you REALLY do it?!?

@Dodo I am just curious, can you change anything in the dream at will if you become lucid? Have you done such things in your dream?

Kudos for the effort you put in researching all that! Dreams could only be used as an analogy to describe reality, but many mistake reality to be a dream exactly as the one they experience in their sleep.

Here's the song you were looking for https://melobytes.com/en/view/4877c76e0ff63d7522f8d325002cf5fb2307097fa9ee766a85a44732faf786b4 although I couldn't recognise most of it.

But both has gun in it.

Time is simply a tool of measurement, and thoughts or your sense of time perceive it as moving forward at a particular speed, depending on how fast you move from the first thought to the second one. Thoughts create time in the sense movement creates speed. Time is very essential to have any kind of experience as a living being. Without time there is no experience to be had, unless you become independent of time in one frame and you observe that frozen frame from another frame which indeed has time. We maybe able to play with time, but we can never become independent of time. There is no timeless experience as long as there is a body to perceive it. The only experience you can have without time is no experience.

Maybe stage coral is going back to any of the previous stages at will.

Woah, I am confused whether you are being positive or negative here. Maybe you are saying that everything is so negative, that we can be positive that this is nothing worse than that. Maybe it's a good way to be positive. Or maybe it's a good way to get depressed further.

Now all I could wonder is whether you drank it or not. If you did, that definitely would count as a mystical experience!

I remember writing in a piece of paper heaven and hell and wondering who in my class will go where. It's not mystical but it's something funny.

Memories can indeed be precious, but your don't have to look for the same experience to attain the same level of happiness. You could go on a tour with your friends or family or something else like that and achieve the same level of happiness that you attained before. Our memories can delude us into thinking that we were the happiest in the past and we can never get the same happiness by any means, but it's not true.

One of the main factors which affect our happiness is comparison. We always tend to compare with our neighbours, friends, relatives, other country men, aliens etc. in order to rank our own level of happiness. Nowadays we don't even look at the faces of people to judge whether they are happy or not. We mostly interact with other people (except maybe our family) using social networking or mobile phones. We judge how happy others are based on posts with a laughing pose and counting the number of smileys or how they show their faces during video calls. While doing so, we come to the dangerous assumption that everyone in our social world is happier than us. Even the dog posing in the photo is happier than us. What we don't realise is that all these are projections, a human need to show others that we are happy and cheerful. A human desire to not open our worries to others, so that they won't think lowly of us. It's important to realise how deep projections run in our everyday life, especially with regard to happiness. Neighbours always smile when they see you, and you might smile back as well, and there's nothing wrong in doing so. But it is definitely not good for us to have thoughts on how the neighbour is always smiling or seemingly happier more today, "Is it due to his newly bought car? Is it because of the big house he built? Is it because of the expensive jewellery she bought? They are always boasting about it and smiling around it, so definitely they would be happier. I should buy the same things and beat them in the race for happiness. ". If they were really happy, a race for happiness would atleast make sense, but unless we go into their minds or connect some electrodes into their brain, we may never know for sure. But in truth, a race for happiness may never make sense in any circumstances, especially when we try to understand how happiness works and what happiness really is. Are we getting happier and happier everyday when we are doing things more and more that we assume to be increasing happiness? I don't think so. We are always bound by a limit on how much we can be happy or sad, which is determined by various factors, including genetics. Imagine life as a wave, happiness as the peak and sadness as the trough. You can undergo extreme happiness or pleasure for quite sometime, but you will be pushed back to sadness as well to the same degree. So no matter how happy you get, especially due to materialistic pleasures, you will always be pushed towards the opposite spectrum either within days or after a few years. This is popularly known as hedonic treadmill. You can learn to adjust the amplitude of the wave, but it's difficult to make it one sided. When you make it closer to being flat, you will achieve enormous peace, but you might get bored easily. But what is in your hand is the baseline level of the happiness wave. Doing heartful activities such as compassion, gratitude, forgiveness and Unconditional love and combining them with meditation, mindfulness and exercise/yoga can raise the baseline levels to a good extent. This is the simplest explanation for karma, which affects how happy you are based on how heartful you are or how good you are to others. In short, realize that whatever you see outside your self are projections, including those of close family members, and don't make assumptions and comparisons based on them, especially with regard to happiness based on materialistic wealth. This will lead to decrease in your baseline state of happiness. Instead focus on activities that can improve baseline state of happiness such as mindfulness, meditation and heartful activities.

There are different levels of understanding for different levels of people. This post is for those who are trying to be happier. What you say also means that poverty is not something to be eradicated and demonised but something to be accepted. This could very well find agreement with people who understand Spirituality to a greater extent, but it cannot help those who are suffering due to poverty.
