Discussion Is the universe just one big dream?

[IzzyK8176]

Have you ever thought to yourself, damn I can't believe this is real life. That this could be all one massive dream you're having or already ctb and this being a flashback, as you're dying. Maybe in hell, and this is your punishment, reliving your life over and over again. What are your thoughts on this?

Neil degrass Tyson has said we could be living in a simulation.
I think I'm stuck in a hellish version of The Sims.
I'm scared this we get reincarnated after we die on an unstoppable loop.
Life is cruel enough, I don't want to do this shit over and over.

Daily. Sometimes I have intense moments of derealization.
If all of this IS a dream it's a bad dream. With good moments but ultimately a very sad, bad dream.

More like a nightmare.

sometimes i think like that, but i want to convince myself that the world is good despite it all. i think i find a small reason to live in that tiny little aspect of this. if it is a dream though, i'd like to be woken up. maybe my 'real' life is better than whatever this is

i have a sort of "glitch in the simulation" story. one night i was washing my face. i have a little beauty mark like marilyn under my mouth. i obviously know my face because i've looked at it my entire life, but for some reason i didn't recognize the beauty mark. i tried to rub it off with my fingers until i remembered "oh that's just my beauty mark" and i felt really weird after like i didn't know myself for a second. it sounds dumb and may mean nothing but i still think about it.
