Why would you want to stop dreaming?

Because why would you want to go somewhere to experience a level of happiness that, when you wake up, you will realize your reality will never touch?

Because a dream is what you want to do, but still haven't pursued. When you wake up, you give yourself a chance to work towards making that dream a reality. It ceases to be an illusion and turns itself into a goal. It can give someone a reason to try, or something to look forward to.

Part of what makes our dreams so appealing is that we are typically unaware that we are in fact dreaming. In our dream state, the things that are happening are our realities. If you knew you were dreaming, it would take a lot of the pleasure away, I figure.

I dont know what you dream but the dreams I have are pretty damn wacky, its usually a RELIEF when I wake up. Though I have to say that I wouldn't want to stop having dreams, as they can be alot of fun.

My dreams were more weird or boring than anything else. Example: one time I dreamed that I got up and started getting ready for work. Then I woke for real and realized I was late.

I don't remember my dreams. other than I know it is healthier for your brain to dream I wouldn't know if they stopped anyway.

I turn my dreams and visions into reality. Why would I not want an ideal to work towards?
