Life but an empty dream
There are a lot of similarities between life and dreams. Dreams occur both in our conscious and unconscious states. They are a way of realizing our deepest and unfulfilled desires. But everyone knows that nothing is real, substantial, or permanent in a dream. All that happens in a dream is vague, shadowy, and unreal. Yet we are fond of dreaming sweet dreams. In the same way, human life is a transitory phenomenon. All that we achieve in life, all that we are proud of, vanish into the void of nothingness after some time. Our children, relations, wealth, power, and self are all but victims of death and decay. No one can possess all things for all time. Life itself will pass away one day or the other. But the most wonderful thing is that we are deeply in love with life and all our possessions. Life, like dreams, is unreal. It is undoubtedly an illusion. It is such stuff as dreams are made of.
