What is reality ? A very famous question for which there can be enormous explanation. When i was quite young i knew the answer perfectly and it was "What we see,hear,touch,feel is reality".
But as i grew older the question again popped up and this time there were many answers.Internet has really helped people loaded with information whenever they need one,now i am confused with many answers and question remains there unsolved as all the different answers that i had was from great people,now who is right ??
One night i went to bed early and after few minutes i realized that suddenly my bed started moving and it picked up pace slowly and slowly,till the time i could realize what's happening.It took a jet start and broke the door and zoomed into the sky.I was tightly holding my bed and could feel the air zooming very fast.Suddenly my hand slipped and now i could feel the free fall,first time in my life i felt the force of gravity under my feet.I was shouting and screaming and could see my death few seconds away from me.As i was just about to touch the ground..............I woke up.
My whole body was perspiring and still couldn't believe i was alive,this event raised a very serious question in my mind.
What is Dream ? Is it something to do with reality ? Is there a connection between dream and reality ?
As the dream was so real to me that i almost felt everything...the air,gravity,that sight...everything was as if happening with me in reality and suddenly i was transported on my bed.
Did i really go somewhere and i came back to my bed in a flash of seconds ?
I started reading articles related to dream and reality to find the solution for my questions.After lot of readings and research i came to a most suitable conclusion that.
"Our soul(life energy) and body are two different identity,soul resides in our body and we die,this means soul leaves the body and goes to some other body.Other than this body we have another body called astral body which has existence in astral plane(dimension).Astral body is formless and is not restricted in a three dimensional space like our real body,it can go anywhere if practiced with proper guidance ".
I got the solution for why i felt the dream so real.I might sat on my astral body and unconsciously my astral body took a flight without my conscious knowledge.But now if i consider this answer to be right then..........the dream and the reality question is taking new shapes.It rises more questions like......If there is Astral Body and Astral Plane,how can we access it,how do we know more about it.How can we do astral travel ? Do Animals have astral Body ? and so on.....the questions are complex for my mind to understand as the way i was brought up with mostly logical things proving to be illogical now and need more explanation.
