Yes, I've wondered that. But that doesn't change anything other than to learn from the mistakes I made in the previous dream and do better in my waking world which could still be another dream.

Well, honestly, humans are not different from robots. Like it or not, we are programmed by nature just as a robot would be programmed by a human. It just so happens that nature has allowed our program to access more options than any other animal on this planet. Hence, the government is also robotic.

Assume the worst? How about assume nothing, but pay attention to past experiences, and simply do what you have to do the moment you have to do it?

When you lean to one side too often such as when you always assume the worst you will cause unnecessary mental filters to blur up what is really there. You may not be quick to see the wonderful opportunities life has to offer when you are always pessimistic.

The same goes for always assuming the best. By being too optimistic you may not spot the dangers that are awaiting you, if any.
