I am not dogmatic (at least i hope not!) I doubt everything...
The furthest I will go against God or something just as improbable is to believe that that something almost certainly doesn't exist, or can't exist.
I do not claim access to absolute knowledge. That would be God's place IF he exists ( I say he ALMOST certainly doesn't).
I am still agnostic about God...not gnostic. In the sense I do not claim the absolute, which is what gnosticism would be.
Now God would be supernatural because he would not simply be 'the first cause'...by SUPERNATURAL creator I am not including something like a 'big bang' singularity... - far from it.. that would be natural.
I'm talking about a supernatural super being (in whatever form) that DESIGNED the universe...it CREATED it....it wasn't PART of the universe that started it off...
OR it was part of the universe BUT it was - and IS in this hypothetical alternative reality where this "God" exists - very unlike the rest of it...rather than being something simple at the start that other stuff developed from - it was an anomaly compared with everything else that is WAY more complex and sophisticated than all the natural things that it creates and designs...
The hypothetical "God" is SUPERnatural and not natural in the sense it is a highly complex intelligent designer that was there right from the start and capable of creating a whole lot of things...by design.. its outside the box and like nothing else. Created from scratch - or from itself...
And it is highly complex simple because it is capable of doing all these things right from the start....this "God" is 'just there' and is capable of 'creating it all'...that's not natural in the sense its like nothing else and was a lot more complex than all 'the natural' stuff and is capable of designing it right from the start.
You get a super being creating the universe right from the start - that is what I mean by a supernatural creator.
Btw, are these dreams you speak of like highly intense lucid dreams or something like that?
I've had them like one or two times in a negative way...can be scary - you don't know what's going on but you are 'there and aware' of it.
I've had more pleasant ones though luckily.
