I mean… he isn’t wrong.

Good description thnx

That’s my goal

I think id agree

Ok. I’m still a bit conflicted regarding this.

This is what I’m conflicted about. I don’t know really what the self is, if it’s real or not, illusory or not etc.

ok

OP said the self is illusion which I interpret as not real. But I’m with you there with your definition of enlightenment . It’s still mental for me though I have yet to actually “see” it

So I’m mistaking that for something else than me? You’re saying it is me

What am I mistaking for something other than me?

That doesn’t sound too nice. I see your point. I don’t know how they do it here in Sweden though.

Illusion meaning not real, doesn’t actually exist. I don’t know if it is, just asking you. OP says it is.

I see your point. I don’t know which companies do it, and exactly which method. But I’ve heard that organic and grass fed means the circumstances for the animals are better. And in Sweden where I live there are certain regulations around how to kill the animals.

Is the self not an illusion?

Contemplate that.

Why do you think killing animals is wrong, if it’s done in a quick and basically painless way? Such as with certain organic grass fed animal products

You’re strong for keeping yourself going through all of that. Great that it’s getting better for you and you’re able to help others with your story.

My guess is that my suffering would end

How can an illusion be so strong? Why is it so difficult to “see” the truth?

😂😂😂

Don’t know what you’re trying to say hehe but sure

This is a good read too. It’s quite long and might be hard if you’re not so good at English but I found it amazing https://maladaptivedaydreamingguide.wordpress.com/guide/

I did this in past too. I think it’s a symptom of other things. Rather than being so much of a problem that should be focused on in itself. Because it can be really hard to stop this habit if the underlying issues aren’t dealt with. It’s like you’re focusing on the wrong thing. Like it has been previously mentioned in this thread, low self worth probably plays a role in this. And maybe you feel inhibited in real life to express yourself authentically. Maybe you’re shy irl, held back. Your personality irl being underdeveloped. So this ideal self fantasy is trying to compensate that. So deal with those underlying things. Healthygamergg on YouTube has good videos on this. Search for the channel name then daydreaming and you’ll find them

My guess is that the scary scenario in your dream makes your heart beat faster signaling danger so you wake up. Also consider that you only remember a dream if you wake up after it. If you continue sleeping then you won’t remember it so maybe you have many dreams where you continue sleeping after but since you can’t remember them it seems like it doesn’t happen. Maybe I’m wrong

How does this have to do with the previous information?
