Important question for those who "know" this is a dream!

[davecraw]

So my confusion is just this:

If you know this is a dream and you are me then why don't I know too?

Why do we have apparently have different knowledge?

[Leo Gura]

Because there's only you.

So to be clear are you claiming you know something different than me?

If you were dreaming and went on a forum in your dream and asked people a question do you think they actually existed in some other part of your dream world as separate characters? Or are they just imaginary characters in your dream that dont exist. They only exist as text on a website. But there is no text and there is no website because you are dreaming.

So, to be clear, are you imagining me too. Don't answer that. ?

The thing the mind thinks it is does not exist, the end.

But if that's truly the case and you know that then why don't I?

Do you know that to be true? If so why don't I?

Because I already know the answer. It was meant to be rhetorical.

@davecraw Because you dont know what metaphysics is. You are metaphysical being looking through a window into a body. Essentially a ghost in a machine. but the machine isnt real its just there. Where you think your face is is an infinite white light that is turning into things but there are no objects and no people just light. Where you think your head is is actually an infinite void of nothing

The absolute has the capacity to forget and realize itself, through apparently different forms. It can realize itself within one form, while appearing to be oblivious in another form.
