What am I? Who am I? What is our purpose? Every person finds themselves asking these questions at some point. We are told to believe the past with no answers for the future and are created with no direction, just free will. Most people go about their lives in routine, mindless of why they do the things they do. Others choose to desperately search for answers following religion, people, theories...anything that gives them a sense of security that we are in fact, real. But how real is our reality? When we are dreaming, does that not subconciously feel like reality? Chuang Tsu, an ancient Chinese Taoist, awakening from a dream in which he was a butterfly, wondered whether he was a butterfly dreaming of being a man. Dreams can often be so vivid and feel so real that they stir up deep emotion. What if our conscious reality was but a dream? Look around at the natural beauty of the world and how complex and intricately woven our environment and each individual organism is. It is difficult to grasp and our level of human intelligence can't even comprehend most ways of our universe. In a dream reality, everything seems real. Perhaps it is all just a dream and the end is when we wake up.
