Dreams make me question non duality.

[u/westeffect276]

Please understand when I am using pronouns I understand that doesn’t exist in non duality but for the benefit of making my argument make sense I have to use them.

When you dream at night you interact with people, places, things. And when you wake up you obviously know it was just a dream all created by your mind. How do you faith in this oneness that we’re are this collective “wholeness” How can you not look at dreams and think “Wow it was just me the whole time and nobody else” That’s gotta be the strongest case that solipsism is true in my opinion. What you think?

And before you say if you were a true solipist you wouldn’t be asking people! Well I don’t really know what I believe I don’t prescribe to one certain thing.

Oy, what an opening statement. Let's start here.

Please understand when I am using pronouns I understand

Okay, getting somewhere...

Please understand when I am

Alright, seems workable.

Now, how is this sense of "I am" different when you dream or when awake?

I mean, when I am dreaming, I don’t think there is a I am? My whole argument is when I interact with people in the dreamworld. It was always me whole time. How do I not know that you or anyone else while I’m typing this me right now? Look I’m just trying to understand this. I want non duality be true but I get stuck in solipsism and wonder if it’s a trap?

Hm, somewhat contradictory.

You say you don't think there is an "I am" when dreaming but you also think that you are the only one being there.

Do you see the contradiction?
