Last week, I had an intense vivid dream that made me question what is, and whether this is the only real experience of life I'll ever had. Normally for something so bizarre to happen like having a series of breaking the 4th wall would be written off as a typical dream, but I feel there's something more to it than one would believe.
Imagine a scenario in which you find yourself living a different life, with a different set of friends, consisting of some you know in this life time, while at the same time having some you've never met or seen in your life. Regardless, you "know" them, and vice versa. They'd also address you by your irl name, so... you are pretty much "you". However, as the dream goes on, you will gradually start to become self aware, and as you start acting more and more like you, the other characters will start to pick up on it that something is "off about you". Which by that point, they'll say something along the lines, "You don't belong here. You need to leave."
For those who don't know what's happening at this point, the person isn't telling you that because you're an outcast; it's that they suspect you to be an imposter, and they're right. You're not the same "you" they know.
Assuming you're leaving/walking away, they may or may not figure out what's really going on with you. If by chance it's the former, they might call you back just to make your dream enjoyable. Perhaps while giving subtle hints that you're dreaming.
Such as asking questions related to you sleeping and whatnot... Or if it gets "intimate" and you're suddenly not alone, they'll tell you that the characters you see aren't actually there/real. You probably won't realize what's happening until after you finally wake up.
That's pretty much what happened to me in a nutshell. But with it being so vivid, I wonder if dreams have some connection to this reality. When I look back on it, it reminds me of a story I read years ago about how some dude supposedly killed himself and ended up in a reality that was different from the one he originally killed himself in, where he was with a friend he's never seen in 15 years, playing on a console that never existed called "Centack Enviorview", and when he mentioned about it being even better than Oculus Rift, the friend was confused as he never heard of it, just like the dude was confused about Enviroview. When he remembered his dog and had a panic attack, he was shocked back to a reality that was similar to his own, but different, which in that one, people told him there was something different about him, but couldn't pinpoint what it was. Here's the story for anyone interested:
I wonder if quantum immortality or something is true. No one knows for sure, and I believe there are ways to jump to and become a permanent resident in this better reality. But with all my attempts to go there, I just can't seem to grasp it. So if all fails, I wonder if death is actually the remedy.
We can't experience "death", and there's no time or awareness of it in nonexistence. And I also don't think it's permanent either, as... if nonexistence is infinite, how are we even here??? What if the opposite is true and death is more like a transformation that happens in no time?
That is why I want to have a method I can be sure will kill me, which no one will be able to save me. No antidote, relatively undetectable, quick, and simple to use. Leaving very little to no room for failure.
I believe there is a better world out there... and I'll stop at nothing to get there!
Sorry if I sound crazy…
