In the plot of the movie ‘Ploy’, the characters seem to live their interconnected dreams as alternate but believable realities, before they wake up to actual reality – albeit not that realised in enlightenment, but the usual samsaric reality. The dreams experienced are not portrayed to be technologically fantastical in the Matrix style, but are downright ‘ordinary’ – not unlike how most of our dreams seem seamless with our real lives.<\/p>\n

In fact, the colours and sets of the dreams and reality look exactly the same. But really, who are we to tell which is real and which is not? If we have lucid dreaming at times, why do we not have even more lucid living? Our dreams are part of our lives too – equally real and equally unreal. As long as we are unenlightened, we live out our attachments, aversions and delusions – both in real life and in dreams.
