Thoughts
Descartes explained once how simple it is to tell whether you're really awake and a live. He said: cogito ergo sum, I think therefore I am, and became worldly known ever since. This isn't all he produced as a philosopher and scientist, not by far, but this is nevertheless how we remember him.
Descartes said that thoughts are the very key to existence, but how can we be sure that our thoughts are not just an other nightmare? The human mind is so chaotic, and how could it not be, with every experience and situation we take in every day. Inside our tiny heads, lies the essence of ourselves; our moral, our emotions, our personality, and all of these are easily influenced and changes all the time. If we change all the time then our prospectives does as well, and if that is the case our thoughts changes as well.
We sleep, or at least some do, during the time spent sleeping we go through different stages of sleep or stages of relaxation. And during these stages we dream in various forms, some good, some bad, some absurd, and curtain dreams are so real you wake up from them because your body thought the dream was real and it moved in correspondence with your dream. Now if you can move at a bases of a dreamt movement, then you certainly can think during a dream, cause movement require thought, then how do we differ between a nightmare and reality?
