there is a fine line between fantasy and reality - im not sure how to explain it, but heres my dumb take on it

reality - an existance that you live in and experience

fantasy - a non-existance that you can experience but can never live in - making it existant only in your memories

* * *

thus, dreams are real. . people have dreams! its a reality! if you believe that you fly off to another world while in your dreams or dreams are somewhat spiritual, then dreams are very real!

if not, then dreams are like fantasy. though the odd stuff in your dreams may never be apart of your 'reality', you can experience it and they can affect you

ex. i am not really a dragon, like my dreams say i am

ex. spiritually speaking, i am a dragon XD

oh. .and i also believe that fantasy becomes reality when two or more people experience something together . . such as you enter someones dream and dream with them. no longer is that dream a place of imagination, but a home for two minds - where those minds 'live' even if it is for a few seconds

when those two minds direcly interact, they create a plane of existance *blows up* XB

secondly, I rekkon the only advantage humans have over any other carbon-based life-form on earth, since we don't have thick hides, sharp teeth, we're not fast or strong or good hunters, the only thing we've really got going for us is our intelligence. we're good at working stuff out, making tools, being ingenious and resourceful. Therefore, if there's one thing worth doing while were alive, it's learning as much shit as possible. maybe making a difference, maybe not. that's why I read so much - I figure there really isn't a great deal else worth doing.

blah. philosophy. yay.

Do we exist ?, we define our existence through what we effect, or create. If you just sit watchin tv everyday and dont talk about something other than irrelevant sport crap/pop rubbish, you may as well not exist. We exist through others, and their recognition of our existence. They think about me therefore I am, or something like that.

We cannot truly exist without others to reinforce our 'self'. Without others our psychology breaks down and we lose touch of reality ( look at good old freakshow, Michael Jackson. thats what losing touch with reality can do to you, not that he fits into this topic ).

btw. a little fact every human being dreams atleast 5 times during a normal sleep.

We only remember a dream when we get interupted in it.

Experiments showed if you dont dream your concentration and sanity will suffer a great deal.

To say it in a geek'ish way dreaming is like running a defrag on your brain.

>=D akira! i first saw akira when i was 7 years old, as i grew to love the movie more *is a complete fanatic* i sorta gained the powers tetsuo has in the movie

im over half my dreams now im a female tetsuo O.o i can fly at will in any dream - jump really high *rarely* and somtimes i can move objects, blow up things and stuff. . its hard though - i try to use my powers and they tend to back fire or not work

i also have a dream diary *3 now* and when you actually take the time out to remember and think about your dreams, youre dreams get more interesting >=D *btw, lack of dreams is bad sign ;_;*

*looks at neo's posts*
now thats eva talk! o.o yourself being defined, and yourself existing becuase of others. . . i said that wrong.

isnt sci-fi fun?

later in my dream I figured out what to do, and turned my hair green and dreaded it simultaneously - using only innate magical powers...! how cool is that?!?!

the annoying bit was, in the same dream I took loads of cool photos with my camera. And then I woke up, and none of the photos EVEN EXIST! bah! so unfair! >:(

Neo - I'll have to check out your photo first, you crazy flirtateous blokey... ;) but I'm flattered... :p

The guy that wrote evangelion was on the cusp of suicide when he started it. I think it's very present in some of the dialouge. He said anime saved his life in the little backnote I read. Maybe Shinji is an extension of himself, rather than a simple chara. Or maybe they all symbolise aspects of his depression. Rei symbolises pain, and the way people use you, Asuka symbolises his failure, Shinji, his deep rooted 'daddy doesnt love me' complex, or his weakness.

Who knows ?, the brain is a mystery even to the person it's sittin in.
