The dreaming world is just as real as the waking world.

The results are reals: so the sadness or the panic The cause would be the dementia no? And the dementia cause them to experience certain things. I don’t share that experience, I cannot see or feel the same thing they do but does that make the experience invalid just because it isn’t shared?

Let’s say we both see a robbery, you, me and a group of people. Our minds are fallible. You experience the robbers to be very aggressive, I would say they had loud voices and there manners weren’t calm but I didn’t think they were really aggressive, another one says they experienced it differently, it all happened so fast they barely remembered the robbers, just the chaos of the whole thing. Who of us is right? Is your experience more real than mine? What if they didn’t harm anyone but they yelled? Does that count as aggressive?

I mean we can still share the same thing but experience it differently. Does that make it less real for one of us? You had a bad youth with a lot of abuse from your parents, so you experience the robbery differently than I did, I didn’t have an abusive upbringing but my family is very loud as we are greek. Our ‘causes’ are now different, is your experience fake or mine?

I’m not sure I’m still making sense. i’m so sleep deprived haha
