    I rarely feel that way, except sometimes when I think about the past.

    If you go by adi shankracharya life is a dream and those who start feeling it can get out of the materialistic and unrealistic world.
    I have few constraints hence cannot denounce world right now.
    How about you ?

    Tnx

    I don't follow the Advaita Vedanta of Shankara, so I don't believe the world is all illusion. I think that at some ultimate level that's true, but in the hear and now of mundane living, its not really possible, and better to concentrate on performing one's dharma well. As an intellectual construct, it's possible, but that's far different then cognizing it through experience.

    Well you might not be following advaita but still you must be accepting the concept.
    Don't you feel many times that this world is myth ? if not just try standing in window when your at home looking at the people(with zero mind and putting stress what these people are doing) who are rushing here and there, believe me you will feel it.
    I often get tremors of this unreal yet real world.

    Tnx

    No I don't feel the world is unreal, and I certainly don't get tremors. Advaita Vedanta, at it's deepest levels, isn't applicable to the way I view life. But if you want to standf at your window and get tremors, go ahead.
