Is it a dream, or is it waking up?

People always stubbornly believe that reality is reality and dreams are dreams, and there is an insurmountable gap between them. Close your eyes, the world is a dream, fragmented, blurred, no matter what happens, open your eyes, it is reality.
This idea is so deeply rooted that we never doubt it.
However, is this really the case?
For this, I cannot give an answer. Because I am still alive. I can still feel my presence in this world.
Study, eat, and socialize every day. Just like any normal human being in this world. We do not doubt, or even refuse to doubt, whether the world is real. Because we exist in this world. This world is my most fundamental belief. If we doubt, ask ourselves whether we are living a dream or waking up. It's like asking yourself, do you really exist? Perhaps, in an instant, the pillars in my heart collapsed.
As a Christian, you may sometimes ask yourself whether God exists. He might feel ashamed and blame himself for it. But he will not doubt himself, no matter how he punishes himself physically and mentally, he believes that he exists. In the hearts of believers, no matter how holy God is, he will not be the whole world. They look up at the starry sky above their heads, and no matter what kind of coat they wear, they are full of awe of the world they are in.
The Wachowskis told people in the matrix that they had begun to shake the world they believed in. However, maybe I am too shallow. In the matrix, I simply understand the world they want to outline as the world created by robots and the real reality. It was like that in the movie. It suddenly dawned on me through The animatrix that the Wachowskis just wanted to articulate their suspicions this way.
Not to mention the plot of this animation, the painting alone is enough to make people amazing. Lines and colors are top notch. In light or dark, computer-made, or hand-painted pictures, you feel that this is the real world.
After reading it, I suddenly thought, have I also begun to doubt the world?
yes. I have doubts.
But even if I understand, I will choose to continue in the dream and not wake up. I didn't have the courage to face a completely different world when I woke up.

The Animatrix quotes

  • Cis: Operator, please! Get me out of here right now. Operator, I need an exit!

    Duo: It's no use. I told you. I've blocked your signal.

  • The Instructor: The prolonged barrage engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns. But unlike their former masters with their delicate flesh, the machines had little to fear of the bombs' radiation and heat. Thus did Zero-One's troops advance outwards in every direction. And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.
