That's a scary thought.

But then even if you have a dream, does that exactly represent who you are?

what does exactly represent who i am?

Who you are, is the one who lives out on the ways and beliefs you held, dear, in your heart and mind....on dreamless nights ....meaning that you are in deep sleep ...could you remember anything, even of who you are ??

if i do not remember a dream, then did it not happen?

if i do not dream, does my identity vanish? or is it expressed in other ways?

if i do not remember, did i not know at some point what i now have forgotten?

Raji said...

yes..you will, for a dreamless night is when your mind is still and you will gain the ability to listen to the voice of reason and you will know who you are and what you should do

so if i don't try to remember, i can realize what i already know....

Sally Ang said...

hmmm..."so if i don't remember, i can realize what i already know "...perhaps ...we should look at the word "know"...if you dun study or gain a deeper understanding of the subject ...do you know what you know ??...Well, unless certain aspects of the subject is being reveal....if not how do you know, you know ??

s.a., i love this!

so, if i don't let remembering get in the way of knowing, then at some level i know what i know and that i know. but if i try to convince myself that i know, then i might remember that i am forgetful...........and then who knows where that might take me?

Sally Ang said...

Aiyo...why so "chieem"...means diffcult to understand in singapore "singlish"...haha...it will get you "nowhere"....either is "now here" or "no where"...be simple...ok,Anne ??

so sorry, s.a. sometimes it is fun to play with words.

although it do wonder if one of the tasks of a lifetime is to remember what i know.

but then, i don't know that for sure..........

Sally Ang said...

Anne, dun need to say sorry....actually i think if we are wondering we are remembering what we know...it is not a bad idea at all...perhaps that is why...on dreamless nights we will still remember who we are ....:)
