The Interview

Interviewer: we have been hearing a lot on this definitions of what a dream is, but you, being an explorer, what do you think a dream could be? what it could mean to someone who doesn’t even know if he dreams or not?

He: Well, you could only get my ever-changing idea of what a dream is till now. I, cannot be hundred percent be sure, weather my idea of dream will remain same in coming days. Because I believe it’s all still an exploration to me. Because the very moment we define something, or we say this is what something is, you are just putting an end to knowing it further. At the very moment you are putting an end to the exploration. Coming to your question, I would say, A dream is a fused state of consciousness where your subconscious mind is dominant, but your body is asleep, and you could do pretty much whatever you want, if you come to know it’s a dream; if not, you will simply get carried away wherever it takes you to. I would say, it’s a free entertainment show run by your emotions where your subconscious pics up either an event from past or an event from near past and mixes it up that emotion netting a situation where you are the creator and a spectator.

Interviewer: Does these dreams mean something? Or they are just yet another entertainment show from HBO?

He: well, I would ask you a question in return, why would the creator of an entertainment show create a piece of his entertainment show at first? Do you think its just for fame?

Interviewer: well fucking yeah! common …man…. everybody does it for fame.

He: Well I would say No! off course some of the programs on your channel would be. Sorry for that. no offence!  But as far as a conscious creator is concerned, I believe, one wants to say something to his audience through his creation. He is the speaker, speaking through all his characters. Well, in this process of communication between the creator and the spectator, there is equal role of the spectator as well. If he just sees it as an entertainment show, it is just an entertainment show. If someone wants to pick up something from it, it is a medium of Communication to his inner self . Well I would say ...this is the basic funda of all art creation, I believe. What do you think of all these mems, quotes from TV series or lines from famous scenes people post on social media exemplifies? I see no difference in completely understanding  someones idea emotionally as yours and expressing your own. of course you cannot copyright. I would say, If his audience emotionally attach to a creation, the purpose of creation is served. creator would be simply happy.  I hope I did answer your question.

Interviewer:  I think so!  ...! why does it seem so real? Why can’t one notice the difference between a dream and reality?

He: May be, it’s because of the same reason as above. If you know it’s a TV serial and you are just watching it. You know that none of the things happening there would really happen to you. But imagine a situation you are being a part of the series. Its like, painter being the painting, singer being the song, musician being the music, player being the game. And this unification makes the creation live real. Perhaps there is no separation between the creator and the observer when they completely merged.  Perhaps one can get the true experience of what the creator wants to convey only when this happens. Perhaps dreams might be telling you something and you are not still getting it. There another aspect for it being so real. I believe nothing in your dream comes out of nowhere. It is a thing that you have already seen or experienced. When something comes out of your own data base you are not amazed to find bugs in it. you dare to question if its true. You dare to question if its real. It’s like, you always failing to find out mistakes in your answer sheet. You have so much confidence on what comes out of your thoughts. That is why there are so many conflicts around. Everybody thinks they are right in their own sense of perception, while the truth lies untouched.

Interviewer: well, then how do we know that we are not dreaming?

He:  the problem is, you don’t know.
