Most people are taught that dreams are these random scenes that you watch as an observer from afar, kind of like a movie;
they don't seem to realize that dreams are actual worlds, like a hologram, where you exist in just the same way as you do in waking life - that is, as a person who interacts with the surroundings.
If more people could realize this fact then I am sure they would feel "closer" to the dream, and maybe start to realize their potential.
