Sorry if this sounds like a silly post, but I just wanted to share a somewhat "Buddhist dream" I had last nite

In the dream (nightmare??), I was rounded up with other hostages who were being shot dead one by one by the hostage-takers. Then, I remember vividly that I'd be next to be taken down as I was closest to the "bad guys" and was an easy target. As I was about to be shot, I realized that it in the dream, it was all just a dream ie I was dreaming in a dream. In the end, the "me" in the dream was unharmed.

Woke up soon after and the first thought that came to mind was how important it is to awake to reality and not get carried away by mind-made stories.

As I said, sorry if this post sounds silly, but just thought I'd share it here :)
