DREAM!!

Are we leaving in reality in this world? or are we just dreaming?

All would agree that there is no external equivalent of the events in the dream, they only exist in the mind.in the dream, u encounter all 5 senses as if they were real, a person falls from a high place in the dream feels it with all his body, even though he is lying in his bed without moving. u feel cold or hot in an environment in the dream,as if u were awake.dreams are just images form in our brain.

zZzZzZzZzZ

i started my journey in a yacht. i can SEE the horizon, SMELL the ocean, FEEL the sea with my hands, HEAR the sea came crushing by the side of the boat, TASTE the sweetness of the grapes while njoying the breeze. i was then awaken by my alarm clock and im ready to tell my fren that what i was living at that moment isn't a dream. will u say that im mad?

When people wake up, they then understand that what they've seen until that moment is a dream, But for some reason they are not suspicious that the life that starts with a "waking" image(that they call "real life") can also be a dream. THE WAY WE PERCEIVE IMAGES IN "REAL LIFE" IS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY WE PERCEIVE IN OUR DREAM. we see both of them in mind. WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND THEY ARE IMAGES UNTIL WE ARE WOKEN UP. ONLY then do we say "what i have just seen was a dream". So How can we prove that what we see at any given moment is not a dream? We could be assuming that the moment in which we are living is real just because we haven't yet woken up.

It is possible that we will discover this fact when we are woken up from this "waking dream" which takes longer than dreams we see everyday.we do not have evidence to prove otherwise.

A great Islamic scholar, Muhyiddin Ibn al-'Arabi, referred to as Syeikh Akbar(The greatest sheikh) due to his superior knowledge, liken the world to our dreams by quoting a saying of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w:

The prophet Muhammad s.a.w said that " people are asleep and wake up then they die." This is to say that the objects seen in the world when alive are similar to those seen when asleep while dreaming, meaning that they exist in the imagination.

In a verse of Quran, people are told to say on doomsday when they are resurrected from the dead.:

They will say, "Alas for us! Who has raised us from our sleeping-place? This is what the All-Merciful promised us.The Messengers were telling the truth." (Quran, 36:52)

As the verse demonstrates, people wake up on doomsday as if waking from a dream, Like some1 woken from the middle of a dream in a deep sleep, such people will similarly ask who has woken them up. As the verse points out, the world around us is like a dream and everybody will be woken up from this dream, and will begin to see images of the afterlife,

Which is THE REAL LIFE!!
