Parallel Existence

To the cat, which sleeps 22 out of 24 hours a day which is more real? The dreams, the parallel, imagined lives that occupy more than 90% of its awareness, or the physical world and physical body that seed and maintain those dreams? The fact that that a computer program is dependent on the physical hardware of the machine for existence (it is the computer’s “dream”) makes it no less valuable or real. just the same, the power of words is undeniable despite the fact that they only influence the physical world through the actions we take as a result of them.
The only reason, I think, we put so much stock in the physical world is because it demands so much of our conscious intentions to survive.
