Well it is speculated that when you die, you actually wake up. I mean, wouldn't that be insane?Heres some interesting things:
You know when you sleep, you look at the clock and lets say its 11:34 am. You fall asleep and you're having this spectacularly vivid and long dream, you wake up and you would expect it to be morning but its only 11:38 am. When you die, there is 12 minuetes of brain activity after the heart stops beating. Could this 12 minuetes keep us in a dream state? Could those 12 min. be a re-living of those years you were alive?
I'm not really explaining it well, if you want to know more about it, there is a movie you should watch....i cant think of it right now, but i will let you know tomorrow..its by the same guy that wrote Dazed and Confused.
Please.....ponder
Define a dream.

Dreaming is what we call our perception of subtle biological and psychological processes (spiritual, too, if you are so inclined). These processes are very fine, very faint, very profound, and are always going on. We don't notice them in the daytime because of the bright, dominating glare of waking consciousness. But at night, when we are asleep and our attention retreats inward, then we witness these reflections of being alive on a very deep level.
No doubt, a neurologist (eg) would see things differently.
If you want more of a sound bite: Dreaming is the whole body (brain included) "thinking."
