I think I have to agree on that. Realizing a dream is independent from the time factor. Time is applied only when you are working towards actually achieving it.stevie wrote: ↑August 20th, 2022, 1:24 amI cannot follow your line of reasoning but again have to refer you to what I said.

You never can be sure to achieve what you want but you always can dream about achieving it and use rational thoughts to support your dream.Sushan wrote: ↑August 19th, 2022, 12:31 pmI am sorry, but I just wanted to clarify whether we are on the same page.

And in that case realization of a dream matters. And then 'time' becomes definitely a crucial factor because opportunities and resources are limited in quantity as well as availability.
Everything follows the clock. Do dreams act differently?

That is what makes dreams about achievements in the context of religions so attractive: they actually transcend time by means of faith which is transcendence of the natural intellect which is tightly connected to conceivings of time and duration.Sushan wrote: ↑August 24th, 2022, 1:13 pmI think I have to agree on that.

Dreams are quite realistic, and most of the time we find it difficult to understand that we are actually seeing a dream. In that case how can we think that awakening is coming soon while seeing a dream?

When it comes to religious matters all the known norms are distorted. The simple example is the story of Adam, who should have lived several thousands of years in order for the story to be true (or atleast logical). If anyone question about that words like faith and blasphemy will shut that questioning mouth.stevie wrote: ↑August 24th, 2022, 1:26 pmThat is what makes dreams about achievements in the context of religions so attractive: they actually transcend time by means of faith which is transcendence of the natural intellect which is tightly connected to conceivings of time and duration.Sushan wrote: ↑August 24th, 2022, 1:13 pmI think I have to agree on that.
