"Remember, love is not bound by dreams; it flourishes in the clarity of reality when illusions are shattered."
According to Osho, keep remembering “this is a dream” about your projections, expectations and romantic fantasies. Let that awareness shatter the dream; then test: if love breaks, it was only illusion; if love keeps flowing even after the dream dissolves, true love has appeared. Cultivate such lucid awareness (even via dream practice) to distinguish reality, which remains, from imagination, which collapses.
Let the fantasies fall away; if love still lives without the story, it’s real.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces conflict by dropping projections and unrealistic expectations.
- Reveals steady, unconditional love that survives when fantasies fail.
- Trains awareness (e.g., lucid-dream practice) to tell reality from projection in relationships.
