Who is the dreamer behind our dreams

   All of us have experience dreams at one time or others. What happens when we awake from the dreams? Everything in the dream vanished completely. We note in most cases we can recall the dream[even if it appear vague] Who then witness the dream as our body is asleep and all participants in the dream have disappeared?? For one to remember a dream, one must be PRESENT as Witness during the unfolding of the dream. Who or what is this witness.??
   When we wake up from the dream, we are aware of our body and surrounding. Is this Awareness the same awareness witnessing the dream and now witnessing our waking state[which in reality is a longer and serialized dream, broken by sleep.]

   The identity of the dreamer will then be Awareness or God and all creations attributed to God are just various dream world Dreamt up by God and there is in fact no Objective creation of the worlds and the living beings. Creation process is Illusionary..
     
   With this wisdom we need not wait for the dream to end as we can awake to it at anytime. That is in the midst of a dream knowing it is just a dream. This is a stretch from the normal awakening FROM a dream[after the dream have ended]
       We have understood from earlier post, "I" is this Awareness, a cosmic stage for the screening of all sorts of holograms[Including the realm of heaven and hell and those of Angels and Ghost to boot]. In the Hindu tradition the hologram is also called the dance of leila. In the Daimond Sutra,the hologram is simply referred to as Dreams.

   The final conclusion is awareness stand alone as cognitive emptiness and only dreams[illusions] can arise in it. This also allow the conclusion, there is nothing real to know and there is NO one[individual]to know as All beings are illusionary too!!!!.
  Dreams can be both tragic and joyful with a common thread they are all UNreal. Awareness have no role in the dream, except lending to it the light of imagination and staying behind as the witness of the dream. When One identifies with Awareness one is eternal beyond birth and death[which apply only for appearances in the dream]hence there is no fears for there is NO one to fear or be happy. All dream characters are no different from Donald duck, Superman and our good old Santa.
     To put the "i" sticker on a dream character is the only ERROR[Ignorance in the language preferred in scriptures] "I" is the label[name] for GOD. The error arises when the dreamer is wrongly identified with a dream character in the dream. Awakening to the dream is sometimes referred to as Self-REALization or knowing the TRUE identity of "I" the True Self and not the false self[of an ego entity, a living being with a personality and a lifespan]

Now the familiar Rhymes
          Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream,
          Merry, Merry, Merry be, life is BUT a dream

   The boat is an allegory for our body as it move along the stream of life[from birth to death]There is no need for worry as All is but a dream.
    
    All the world great religions with its many teaching are simply incidents within the dream with the prophet a dream character[like the rest]declaring to all in the dream, they are within a dream and NOT to take the dream as REAL.
          
Why worry, be happy.
