The subject of dreams and what they could mean in the real world was intriguing. In the TEDx Talk video, one example was of a couple, and one of the members of that relationship dreamed they were getting cheated on. I could see where the TEDx talker could be going when he said that this could, later on, cause problems between the couple because the one with the dream might think of the dream as fact and take it out on the other member. Another side to this was the positive effects of dreaming of your ex. At the time, I thought he was making the positive effects up because in my mind nothing good could come out thinking of someone who might have hurt you emotionally and there is a reason why you aren't together. However as I thought about it more and Mr.Stewart's question about what if it were drugs made me reconsider. I could see why someone who were to dream of taking drugs would see no point in taking them because to me it makes sense if someone was already taking drugs in dreams, why take drugs in real life? This relates to dreaming of your ex because if you dream of your ex you might not feel as if they ever left because when you go to sleep and dream they are there.
There was a point in the video where the host asked "how do you know if you are awake right now?" My answer was that you don't. To me, the only reason I know I am awake is because after I wake up from a dream I am in my bed and my phone is to the right of me. However if I were to dream about me sitting on my bed or something, there wouldn't be a clear difference between the dream and real life. At the same time, I thought the guy was going off track and into inception type of things but it was a good question.
That's very interesting. I understand what you mean you don't know if you're dreaming or not. When I wake up from dreams, I also question where I am.
