dream reality

Chased after "Beauty in the Day" and was not disappointed, it was great. First of all, like the day, it is very visible, not as obscure as Fellini or Bergman or Antonioni after all. Both films look comfortable. The second is to express the dream from the perspective of wanting to do, very close but never getting it. This is the normal state of our dreams, very longing, very close, but never satisfied. From this perspective, dreams are more awake than reality. The real desire, I think, is always on the way, in the future, but not available. It’s just that the reality is generally farther away, not as close as the dream, the reality is more false and more deceptive, making you think you have it, and the dream is more real and more reluctant to lie, and you can never get it.



I often have dreams, in which I desperately want to get something, and I want to do something, but it always seems to be only one centimeter away, and it goes on and on. When I woke up, I didn't know if it was relief or regret.
In reality, we rarely get this close to what we want, and we don’t have so many opportunities to go round and round.
In reality, we don't know exactly what we want. Most of the time, it's just owned by others, so I'm going to see it too, just experiencing it and knowing that I don't want it.
Or more often, we are false and deceived by falsehood. We faked it, pretended to pursue it, and pretended to get it. It is safe, economical, efficient and orderly to deceive the people around you and deceive the society. Such deception is worthy of respect. Billions of people are piled up in a limited time and space, sharing limited resources. If there is no such deception, there will be no such peace.
We are deceived by falsehoods, even ourselves. It's lucky, but also stupid. Stupidity may one day be punished after all, from the perspective of natural selection competition.
This is why many times dreams are more real than reality.
The philosophical thinking and emotions of dreams are also conveyed by Akira Kurosawa's "Dream". From these two perspectives, dreams are a gift from God to us. Or, it's what God wants me to be like, more fearless and more real. That's why it is said that life is like a dream; not a dream is like life. That's why it is said that the real world is an imitation, and that the rational world is said.
The ancients never lied to me.
