How can one dream be more "real" than another.
Using "dream" in the loose sense, I know I've had dreams that are obviously dreams... with things just not being how they could possibly be in normal physical reality, and situations changing and somewhat uncontrolled. Then, conversely, I've had "dreams" where the situation has seemed completely real, with real people, doing normal things, and the sense that I am actually there observing things clearly. It's those times when you think "Was that really a dream? or have I somehow travelled somewhere else?"

I know what you mean as I've had that myself, I just considered that as normal.
Just going slightly off topic, I love the "twilight" dream. Its incredible how answers seem to come through. It's almost as if that twilight period is the gateway to the "astral". I've often wondered if those who have passed on use that opportunity to give us a helping hand. Like a dead musician could prompt a living budding composer, or a deceased mathematician could inject a theory into a struggling scientist.
I just remembered I dreamt of this person and I saw their legs and shoes and they looked quite unusual and a few days later I saw a photo of this person with the exact same trousers and shoes.
How would I have known they looked like that if I never saw the picture before I dreamt of them.
That would suggest that it is the real person coming through - their astral, higher self.
Wow fascinating.
