I think a dream is definitely more empowering. You are free to do whatever you want in a dream whereas in the reality despite how much you may love someone there are still some restrictions in the back of your mind.
An absolutely beautiful painting @mariandavp! :)
I have heard that amongst some Tibetans there is held the belief that what you do in a dream bears the exact same karmic consequences as what you you do in a (more) awakened state. An interesting thought.
@onceuponatime; I hope not!! Jokes aside I read recently a buddism influencex book that described how are thoughts are alive and thus they act. In this context it makes sense what you say.
Yes, indeed; in dreams and thoughts only you are able to judge yourself, that is liberating. Thank you @arckrai!
