The Woman in the Red Dress: Part 1

Reality Vs. Imagination

Hello World.

I'd like to share this strange theory with you. It's my favorite theory of reality because I find it the most mind altering one :)
I'll split this into two parts so it will be easier to read and to understand since there are two major facts i'd like to point out.

What i if i told you..

That your brain can't tell the difference between reality and imagination.

So what is reality? Many of us define reality as the things around us which we can see, smell, taste, hear, and/or touch, that is what we call real ... right?

If you were to ask Google to define reality you'd get this:

Reality... The world or the state of things as they actually exist, opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them...

Knowing this, we can safely say that everything that is happening to us during our day to day life can be considered real, and everything which we dream and imagine is ... not real.

But how can you explain those strange dreams, the ones where you wake up and you are completely 100% convinced that it was real until you look around and realize you were sleeping this entire time.
Or
The nightmares where you jump out of bed, heart racing, sweating, and afraid simply to realize that it was only a dream... well i'll tell you what... your body certainly didn't think it was only a dream.

Lynne McTaggart the author of the book "The Intention Experiment" explains that researchers used Electromyography ( a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles) to show that the brain does not differentiate between the thought of an action and a real action.

In an experiment electromyography discovered that when a group of skiers mentally rehearsed their downhill runs, the electrical impulses sent to the muscles were the same as when physically engaged in the runs. Whether the activity is carried out in reality or is imagined, the same neural pathways are strengthened. 

Strange huh... almost seems like your body reacts the same to a dream as it would to reality...
Sometimes i wonder, why do I (And i'm sure many of you experienced this) sometimes come so close to dying in a dream, but never really die... seems like my mind knows exactly when to wake up just before it's too late... could we really die in a dream? ...

I think so. remember the conversations between Neo and Morpheus in the Matrix?

Neo: "I thought this wasn't real?"
Morpheus:"Your mind makes it real"
Neo:"If you're killed in the matrix, you die here?"
Morpheus:"The Body cannot live without the mind"

Have a look at Part 2 guys you won't regret it :)
