Is Our Whole Life Just a Dream?
I wake up in cold sweat. I was 100% sure it was really happening to me, but it was a dream. If that is the case, maybe I am still dreaming? Maybe this whole life of mine is a dream? My wife, the children, my job, and the war—all a dream? If that is the case, I want to wake up. I am not happy with too many things in this dream.
My Response: His fears overwhelm him.
Question: His fears are overwhelming. He does not like this dream. Here he asks, “After all, is our life a dream or not?”
Answer: Our life is a dream but actually on a different level, meaning, not at the level of suffering or not-suffering, but at the level of existence in general. We do not understand or feel this world correctly.
Therefore you can call it some kind of dream. But, in general, we can get rid of this dream and wake up.
Question: So he asks: “How do I wake up?”
Answer: How? This is the method of Kabbalah.
Question: He continues: “When I wake up, will reality be better or worse?”
Answer: Reality itself may not change. You, your outlook, and your feelings will change, for the better.
Question: Does this mean I woke up?
Answer: Yes.
Question: So there could be the same war in reality, you say?
Answer: It does not matter.
Question: What does it mean if there is a war and I wake up? What are my feelings? The reality is that there is a war.
Answer: On one hand, you see a war going on, people are killing, dying, and so on. But on the other hand, in this you see the necessary action of armies, nations, and so on, which enter into such relationships with each other. And in the end, it leads to the best outcome.
Question: So, I see that no matter what happens, everything leads to the best outcome. Is this called waking up?
Answer: Yes.
Question: What is the best in this case?
Answer: The best is closeness with the Creator.
Comment: You are unshakeable in this.
My Response: Yes, there is nothing to add here.
Question: Another question from him: “Could it be that I am sure I woke up, but it turns out to be a dream again? And so on endlessly.”
Answer: Yes. So what? How do you know if you are awake or not?
Comment: This is the question: how will I know that I am awake?
My Response: There is no way to know.
Question: Is this how we are destined to live?
Answer: No, we are not destined to live like that at all. But there are states called reincarnations when we exist this way.
Question: From dream to dream, from dream to dream?
Answer: Yes, some such actions. But in fact, we come completely out of the boundaries of our world. And then we see it from the outside.
Question: So what do we see?
Answer: We see that everything is controlled by a single Creator, and we are around Him.
Question: What kind of force is the Creator?
Answer: It is a force that by gradually teaching us, leads us to a state of complete harmony.
Question: And the last question: “Is it better to wake up or not?”
Answer: We must wake up in order to achieve a more and more true state and so that all dreams, fantasies, and everything else would disappear from our world.
Then we would not fight, we would not exchange bad words, bad deeds, or bad actions.
Question: Do you mean in the relations between us?
Answer: Yes.
