When you dream you create a complete physical reality capable of fooling our brain to think its real. furthermore when you dream you can create other people. in your dreams they seem to be separate and individual from you and perhaps if dream characters have conciousness they would believe they are separate from you. All they while, they are your creation and your are all just a product of the same dreamer (the you lying in bed which you are unaware of). Now imagine real life is a dream, and we are all the same dreamer.. all blissfully unaware and believing we are all separate entities. You could consider this dreamer to be God I guess. We would all be like drops of water taken from the ocean. we may appear separate but we are all one in the larger scale. I find this idea extremely intriguing because it supports many spiritual and metaphysical concepts. It explains how deep introspection during meditation can you bring you closer to God and a feeling of oneness with everything. It also explains how coincidences and significant events can orchestrate themselves throughout your lifes even involving other people in their plot. the theory of a collective unconciousness also makes perfect sense here.
