Today, we can record dreams without a scientific basis. Moreover, with the method I have developed, we can edit these dreams, show them to people, and even guide their thoughts. Since the neuronal activity frequencies during speech are very close to each other, it is possible to translate your thoughts into words.

In a sense, this is a dream world. Awakening, however, is not immortality; death is actually a resurrection, an awakening. People like Eben Alexander and others describe their experiences: crossing into another world, a door opening, seeing light at the end of a tunnel, and meeting their deceased father and stepsister…

Every verse of the Qur’an has guided me on the path of science. But is life itself a dream? Is death an awakening?

Death and Awakening

A saying by Vahis Kazvini is particularly striking: “Death, come quickly; life is killing us.” Death is a liberation, an awakening, a way out. This world is a dream world, and awakening comes through death. This is not only a philosophical or religious perspective—it is also scientifically supported.

Scientifically, death does not mean nonexistence. Humans are biologically living beings, composed of adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, uracil, and 20 essential amino acids. After death, these elements return to the earth—they do not vanish. Memory also continues biologically in other forms, persisting in nature. Physically, atoms and particles—essentially frequencies—transition to another dimension.

Thus, death is not an end, but a beginning. The capacity of the brain is practically infinite. Recent studies show that just one cubic millimeter of brain tissue can store around two million gigabytes, roughly equivalent to two million books. In this sense, the entire brain has an unimaginable storage capacity.

Every neuron is unique, and no two neurons function identically. From this perspective, the brain’s capacity is immeasurable. The brain is a mechanism for learning, perception, and thought. The mind functions like software running on the brain’s hardware, while consciousness extracts meaning from what the mind understands, producing new ideas.

Dreams and the Brain

Dreams usually occur in the alpha wave mode. During REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the brain experiences dreams. A dream lasting just a few seconds can feel as if it spans years or even decades. In death, people may realize, “Oh my God, we were dreaming!” As the Prophet said: “We are asleep, and we will awaken when we die.”

Today, science can record and edit dreams. Functional MRI and EEG can measure neuronal activity during dreams, making it technically possible to allow people to experience specific dreams.

The Brain at the Moment of Death

Neurosurgeon Eben Alexander has recounted his experience after being clinically diagnosed with brain death due to a severe infection. During this state, he experienced a brief journey to another world and returned. Scientifically, this is possible because the brain continues to perceive for a short period even after death.

Neurons generate electromagnetic fields, which persist for a time after death. Although science cannot yet capture all brain frequencies, current data shows that the brain does not stop functioning completely at the moment of death.

Brain, Mind, and Wisdom

The brain learns; the mind understands what is learned; consciousness extracts meaning and generates novelty. Using our brains—to learn, think, and create—is one of life’s most important tasks. As both Imam Ali and modern scientists emphasize, failing to use our minds is one of life’s greatest losses.

The same principles apply to educating children. Rather than occupying them with television, tablets, or smartphones, children should be guided to read, write, and think. An active brain develops and strengthens.

The Qur’an and Science

The Qur’an serves as a guide to scientific knowledge. With proper understanding, one can find quantum physics, biology, genetics, chemistry, mathematics, and more within its verses. The command “Iqra” (Read) does not only mean to read, but to learn, understand, explain, write, and live.

Scientific curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge can be inspired by the Qur’an. It advises consulting experts when our knowledge is insufficient, serving as a guide to science.

Life, Dream, and Awakening

Life is a dream world; death is an awakening. The brain and mind shape our capacity to learn, perceive, and create within this dream. Death is not an end but a biological and physical transformation. Using our brains to learn, create, and extract meaning is the highest duty in life.

Knowledge and science illuminate not only humanity but the entire universe. In this great dream of life, we are all preparing for awakening.
