That's real simple, there are 3 types of dreams. Some people are familiar with only 2 types, while the majority are familiar with only 1 type.
1st type of dream, the dream controls you and you have very little memory of it.
2nd type of dream, you control the dream and remember everything that happened. We call this Lucid Dreaming.
The rare 3rd type of dream, the world around you right now, right here is that 3rd tpe of dream. It is totally affected by how you perceive the world, and is affected by how it is conditioned. Nobody is anything without conditioning, if you can realize this, you can look outside the lines.
The reason people do not see "this" as a dream, is because they believe it to be real and is the ultimate reality, when in fact it is just another prison for your mind.
There have been a few who have realized this to be a dream and have awakened to that realization. When that realization occurs, it is like realizing the dream to be a dream in a lucid dream and taking control and manifesting everything and anything in the dream. In that dream they are their own God.
Even in this dream(the 3rd type of dream)one can awaken by understanding the ultimate nature of reality which is emptiness and combining that with meditation.
What is emptiness?
That nothing exists on it's own, that everything is dependent upon something else for it's existence.
A:Where do you come from?
B:From God.
A:If you truly come from God, then why do you need food, water, and air in order to maintain existence. You don't come from God, you come from those 3 things. It would be silly to worship or praise food, water, and air.
Why meditation?
Because it is our thoughts and conditioned thoughts which have created our known world. We stop the thoughts and the ropes of desirous attachment loosen, and our bondage is soon to be realized.
When a person Awakens to this, they in the view of others minds are a living God, a son of God, a messenger of God, a prophet of God, a Buddha, or a Yogi.
I know that if Jesus never performed any miracles, Christianity would not be as popular as it is today.
We all have the potential to do the same things as the great religious originators of the past have done, if we can only Awaken. But that takes effort and discipline, how many will really try?
