Question: Are you asleep!?
How do you know!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
good question, sometimes I don't think I am asleep at all during the night, but then realize it's a couple of hours later than I thought it was, so I must have been asleep

and then sometimes, I have these memories, and I can't tell in my mind if they are real memories or dreamed memories

yes, I might be asleep, dreaming of yahoo answersWww@QuestionHome@Com

I believe that I am not asleep right now!. I can never fully "know" 100% as you imply!. However dreams are very different from reality!. There's no dream anomalies and everything is consistent and linear unlike a dream!. But as this is the philosophy section then no answer is ever proof of anything ;)

No!.
If I were, my sunburn wouldn't hurt so much!. >!.<;
Plus my imagination is limited only to things I can think of, so much that has happened or that I've seen or read are so far out of the spectrum of my thoughts that I know I can't have thought them up, even in a dream!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

interesting question!.!.!.!.but if you expound on it, you could say that we are all asleep!.!.!. until we reach enlightenment we're basically living in the dark or 'asleep'!.!.!.!.!.its a sort of ignorance!. In sleep we dream and everything is alright!.!.!.!.there are no problems!. But when we wake we have to accept the reality of out lives!. Just like getting rid of ignorance!. hence why "ignorance is bliss"

And how do you know that he didn't mean that type of sleep!.!.!.!.!.after all it is in the philosophy section :PWww@QuestionHome@Com
