The dream of Brahma

Ancient Indian texts talk of Brahma sleeping and as He sleeps, He dreams. His dream is the Dream of Creation and the Universe. That which we know and call Reality is really nothing more than the internal musings of the Divine Creator. He dreams and we come to being. Things may appear solid to us but to the atoms that compose them it is a different matter altogether. Electrons dance around protons and the two never meet. It is as if there is infinite space between them. So tiny are they that a whole lof of them are packed into a small space and still they cannot see each other at all. A neutrino is so tiny that it goes through anything. It cannot be stopped except by another Neutrino moving in the opposite direction. Therefore, as far as a neutrino is concerned there is nothing else in the universe because it cannot touch anything. It goes through planets and asteroids like it's a superhighway with nothing in it. Is reality really real or is it just a dream?

Waves and particles are really not two different things or are they? A particle can exhibit wavelike behaviour and vice versa for a wave. So, are they one and the same thing but capable of changing into the other when the fancy hits them? Is a rock really solid? Does a neutrino realize it is solid? They say "if God intended man to fly then He would have given him wings". Yet, nowadays man flies faster than a bird can. What may be a dream in the past can be reality in the future. Is life Real or is it a Dream? What then is the nature of Reality and Dreams? Are the ancient Indian Thinkers and Philosophers right in calling the Expressed Universe nothing more than the Dream of Brahma?
