Hi everyone,
Today before I woke up I was dreaming and the second the dream collapsed my neck started aching (stiff because of cold weather) very badly I couldn't even move for few mins. I know to a large extent that pain is in the mind or mind creates pain to prevent body from getting injured and I didn't feel anything till the dream collapsed, so I'm assuming the mind wasn't present till the dream collapsed and I became conscious.

So was the Self that was dreaming or some aspect of mind?
