Events as you understand them are only intrusions of multidimensional activities into space and time. Events are reflections of your dreams even as your dreams reflect the events you know; those you experienced, and those you anticipate in one way or another.

You prefer to deal with activities that can be physically manipulated.

From your viewpoint it seems often that dreams are not events, or that they happen but do not happen. The lack of normal time and space intersections means that you cannot share your dreams with others in the way that you can share waking events.

In actual fact you remember consciously only certain highlighted events of your lives, and ordinary details of your days vanish as dreams seem to.
