Being awake and dreams correlate, but they are not exactly the same. I will distinguish how I determine the difference between being awake and asleep. When I go to sleep at night I always wonder if everything I see within my dreams is part of the real world I live in. Sometimes I really have to think twice about what has happened within my dream to make sure that it wasn’t part if my real life. It is a very unusual thought, but living in a dream one third of my life can make me a bit confused about my consciousness. The way I see my life has changed since I’ve grown up, and I am now able to control my dreams and thoughts within them.

I’m usually not able to taste, smell, or feel, but my visuals and hearing are mostly enhanced. This creates a sensation that helps me distinguish the feeling of being awake or asleep. Some people are able to use all of their senses, so it makes it complicated trying to figure out if the body is asleep or wide awake. One example is if a person is sleep deprived.

When a person is sleeping the brain, during REM sleep, is the most active. This is when the dreams occurs. I believe that a person must reach their higher consciousness in order to recall and vividly remember what has happened within their dreams. When we are awake our higher conscious can be reached. This includes being able to see the truth in our environment, having an understanding of the world around us, and even being able to see what others may not be able to see. During a dream these sensations may stand out to people, and it can also help a person understand more within their awakened world. Taking lessons when asleep and transferring it into the world we know is a hidden charm that people may take for granted. I personally believe that all of our dreams have a meaning, but we must all learn to remember and record the dreams to apply that meaning to our awakened, conscious
