REAL OR NOT?

If the opposite of fantasy is reality, can we really say for certain that fantasy is unreal? If so this would imply that it does not exist.

So now tell me... do you know of anyone who has never had a fantasy?

  1. Fantasy is just a different reality-- real and I believe powerful as all thoughts are.

  2. Is reality is an illusion? Is fantasy a mechanism for expression of our subconscious reality? A famous philosopher once said something to the effect that our experience in this world is equivalent to watching our shadow & that when we die we see our true self. Maybe in those magical moments when we allow our thoughts to submit to the positivity of the "Great Unknowing", love universal, love powerless and all-powerful at the same time, maybe then for a fleeting second, we catch a glimpse of our true being not just the shadow. Not sure if engaging with such thoughts is fantasy/spirituality/meditation...but whatever...oft times more real and powerful than the reality I know...or think I know???? Do-do-do-do [to be sung to the theme tune of "Twilight Zone"]Ok... I waffling now..I'll let someone else have a go.....

    Would be interested to know: Do you think fantasy is a conscious, or subconscious thought process?

    Hey listen, sometimes being a waffler is exactly what it takes to makes us challenge our own thoughts and feelings... so you waffle on as much as you want honey ; - )
