Lecture: What is Reality ?

Glenn's lecture was interesting this past Tuesday. He talked about what really is reality to us, although it differs between people and it affects us in different ways it was still interesting listening to others opinions during class.

I really enjoyed watching the short clip of the movie Inception and also Matrix.

Inception has you thinking at the end of the movie, if Cobb was living in a dream or reality. The second time around when i watched this movie again i realized the ending was designed for the audience to conclude their own ending for the movie.








REALITY 
What is reality? do things like you, me, Cypress College the car parked outside exist outside our minds ???
can objects or thought be all illusions ?

For example, have you even walked to your backyard late at night when there isnt any light and you hear strange noises ? and from the corner of your eye you see something but when you turn your head there isnt anything there. Whats it an illusion ? or was your mind playing games with you. Sometimes I feel that reality can be something your mind creates, things that we think of daily do compromise our reality. 

Thinking of dreams they can be a reality also, but that has not yet taken its physical form. When a dream becomes real, they turn into something that you can perceive with just physical senses. Some people really believe in dreams, so much that they even own dream books so they can look up objects form their dreams and somehow the book will tell them what the future holds. Dreams can bring about the reality that we cant actually perceive right now and those dreams comprise the rest of what reality actually is. The thinking process makes you realize dreams or make dreams reality. Just like when u think negative then all the negative enegry and reality will come to you. Likewise, if you think in a positive manner then all the positive reality will come to you just like you envisioned it. My conclusion is reality can start from the mind. 

But reality doesn't always have to be physical.

This lecture has made me think outside the box, I never deeply thought about REALITY till today.
