Are We Awake When We are Sleeping?
Hi there this is my first question and my sheer curiosity cuased me to ask but i wonder if when we are awake we are actually in a dreaming type stape like some sort of matrix. and what if when we are asleep or dreaming our true beings are actually awakened and during this sleep time we enter "the real world" or another dimension and that is the true time when our beings are actually alive? does anyone know what i'm trying to say if so please answer.

When we are awake, all life shares the same plane of existence. This allows for communication and life to happen. When we are asleep, we enter the world as our minds interpret it. We enter a Parallel state of being that delves into our deeper conscience mind.

Our true being is always present, but by superposing false knowledge and false beliefs we enter into a dreaming state whether we are awake or sleeping. The world around us is real but when it is perceived through an unclear mind, this same world will appear as a dream. Two persons side by side will not experience the world in a similar way. One may be dreaming due to false knowledge of the world while the other one is perfectly awake because he is perfectly knowledgeable of the world.

When we are sleeping, we are not awake. When a person is relaxed, then we produce alpha waves. When we are alert and moving, we produce beta waves. So when you are awake you would produce beta waves.
Beta waves are twice as fast as the alpha waves. When we are sleeping, we produce slower patterns called theta and delta waves, that have about 3.5 - 7 cycles per second. The alpha waves are about 10 cycles per second. Which would make the beta waves 20 cycles per second. All of the waves are in the brain, which makes all of these waves, and being awake or asleep, very separate things

No, because our dreams are quite usually different each time we fall asleep, and sometimes we never even realize our dream, so the answer is no.

Awake and sleeping are opposites so that's imposable.
