Does awakening feel like waking up from last nights dream?

[actualizing25]

When we dream at night during sleep, we think that this dream we are in is real, but then we wake up from this dream and realize how silly it was thinking it was real. Is this realization the same when we awaken from the dream called life? Does it "feel" the same?

 

Thanks for your answers

It feels very similar. Which is why we call it awakening.

When you wake up from a dream you feel relief and are shaking off confusion. Awakening is clarity so powerful you'll laugh and cry hysterically in bliss.

Maybe the relief (joy) is as a powerful as the strength of the confusion (suffering) that is seen through.

It kind of does. You realize that there was never you and nothing ever happened.

you may awaken up and out of the dream, inside of the dream - and then wake up from the illusion of awakening inside of the dream to the placeless-place. there's no beyond this

Feels similar but much more radical. You are waking up from your whole life. It is gone. Say good bye.
