Stop Trying To Wake Up — You’re Already In The Dream | Alan Watts Motivation

Have you ever felt like life is happening… but you’re not quite inside it?
Everything looks normal—work, conversations, plans for tomorrow—yet something feels subtly unreal. As if you’re moving through the day the way you move through a dream. Not asleep. Just slightly removed.
This video explores why that feeling isn’t a mistake or a failure—but often the beginning of awareness. Through the metaphor of dreaming and lucidity, we look at how life becomes “dreamlike” when attention loosens from constant thought and identity. Not to escape reality, but to meet it more directly.
You don’t wake up by fixing the dream.
You wake up by noticing what’s aware of it.
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about recognizing what has been present all along.
🌀 If this resonated quietly, comment: “I’m noticing the dream.”
