after what is truth, what is real is the second best question
for if we take a backward glance at our life then everything
looks like a dream especially those ardent and intense moments
that seemed so real where are they now they are now just a
memory viz just a thought - so what have we to say about this
day and this very[real] moment - so how does a thought turn out
to be a thing and a thing a thought - twinc

If we see a table, twinc,we shall think the word table if we are
mentally focused on tables generally. If we think table, if we
are mentally focused on looking at tables, or searching them
out, if our search has been successful and we find a table, we
shall see the table we are looking for. It is a matter of
focus.

If mental focus is as important as it could be, all recollection
is a matter of focus as well. The focus will disclose the
reality of what had happened in the past. It could only be
recalled with a dream-like quality if the person is
existentially alienated from the recollection or is prone to
deceit and self-deceit.

the task is to grasp that what is being attempted is to tell
dreamers they are dreaming whilst they are dreaming - one is
most unwelcome for disturbing the dream - twinc
