What is a dream? Since ancient times, humanity has been very curious about dreams. Researchers say that every night we dream several dreams and that each of them lasts between five and 20 minutes. Sometimes, we have good dreams and we wake up in a good mood, and sometimes we have nightmares. I feel that sometimes when I'm awake, that life's like a dream, that it's like a movie. Will I ever wake up from this movie? Kabbalist say ""we were as dreamers"", meaning that we're inside a dream, inside our ego, that simply doesn't want to let us out of the mud that we're totally stuck in. All of our thoughts, desires and plans are just one big egoistic process that envelops and encompasses us from all sides. Indeed, where is the boundary between dream and reality? Only the wisdom of Kabbalah tells us that there is another reality. A reality of love, of connection. Rather than an egoistic competition of who's better, it is an altruistic competition of who gives more to the other person. It's really an inverted world, and so it says about the spiritual world. Sometimes I dream about people that already passed away. Does it mean that they want to communicate with me? No, it is simply a result of their impression still being in you, a residue from the years of living along with them. We dream at all because we are in between of two unbalanced forces - good and evil, bestowal and reception, hate and love. It doesn’t matter whether we go to sleep like any other animal and simply lose control or are seemingly awake, as if being in control of our life. Then it is truly a dream - the thought that I'm in control of what happens to me. I'm dreaming that I'm in control, but I'm not really in control. Meaning, we're trying to be in control, but we can't. Life simply becomes disarrayed. When you will start getting deeper into the matter of how the desire controls the thought, then you will see how to arrange the desire so that you will give your dreams their proper place.
