Guest Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) A lot of people who have nde's say that the experience was the most real thing they ever experienced...100 x more real then life here on Earth....Always thought that was cool since critics say the experience is not real and just the product of a dying brain....You can have reallly intense dreams at night yet when you wake up you know instantly 100 percent it was a dream....Not the case with a nde because the people are convinced it happened and often say life here is like a dream compared to that experience they had...So is it ? Is life but a dream ? We will live for eternity in heaven or hell which I can't even begin to comprehend....I can't wrap my mind around the concept of "forever".....But anyhow life here and now is like the snap of the fingers if even that compared to eternity....So eternity is what "awake" really is and this life here and now is the dream....This would also make sense of pain and sufferning....If eternity is forever and this life is but the snap of the fingers then it would make some sense how God could allow it when we will experience forever and eternity after we die and wake up....And this life will seem like a dream we had compared to the reality of eternity....

Guest Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) I would compare life more to a lucid dream....Because we are held accountable for our actions and judged when we wake up....Life isn't simply a dream where we just observe and have no control over the choices and how the dream plays out....Although for many (myself included at times) this really is the case....I guess the challenge is for one to figure out they are dreaming and have it become a lucid dream so they can take control....Far to often in life I think we allow the flesh to take control and instead of living life we simply just watch and become stressed over the bad choices and doing everything wrong and feel like we are just observing ourselves do everything wrong with no say in the matter....Although that doesnt have to be the case and one needs to make life a lucid dream and take control and make the dream play out it the most postive and Holy way...

Era Might Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 To be, or not to be, that is the question:Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to sufferThe Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,And by opposing end them: to die, to sleepNo more; and by a sleep, to say we endThe Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocksThat Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummationDevoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep,To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub,For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause. There's the respectThat makes Calamity of so long life:For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time,The Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely,The pangs of despised Love, the Law’s delay,The insolence of Office, and the SpurnsThat patient merit of the unworthy takes,When he himself might his Quietus makeWith a bare Bodkin? Who would Fardels bear,To grunt and sweat under a weary life,But that the dread of something after death,The undiscovered Country, from whose bournNo Traveller returns, Puzzles the will,And makes us rather bear those ills we have,Than fly to others that we know not of.Thus Conscience does make Cowards of us all, -Hamlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
