Discussion the dreamless sleep, and getting acquainted to the idea of it

[devian]

the dreamless sleep of death can't be remotely simulated, as we just wake up. but, still, for a split second, i feel as if i almost get that feeling (or a half life of it) before i pass out or wake up. anyone else incredibly curious on this beautiful (to me) feeling?

hmm i've never been in a coma, but i imagine that's about as close as you'd get to simulated death☠ still so hard to grasp/fathom from my persepective.. that eternal void most likely waiting for us once we die like bro i dissociate just thinking about it

Yeah someone said that on here once and it stayed with me. That night I had a dreamless sleep and I thought: "Well I didn't mind that at all - why not death?"

There are many nights where I am tormented by dreams of things I cannot have, so I often find myself feeling sweet relief if I drift off to nothingness rather than a vivid 4k depiction of scenes that will never play out in my life. The void is an escape from the never ending burden of consciousness. It's so difficult for me to wrap my head around the fact that one day that black abyss of nothingness will be permanent, it's beyond our understanding. The knowledge is both horrifying and comforting at the same time.

i've been having more and more hyper-realistic dreams that torment me, i hate going to sleep each night knowing there is a high possibility of having one.

That's just it - I never even have dreamless, peaceful sleeps.

So if I can't even obtain nothingness in sleep, why would I imagine death was in any way comparable?

It is hard to comprehend what non existence is like as existence is all we know, but it does comfort me, the thought of never experiencing anything again. When you are dead you cannot suffer. Death is freedom from this horrible life. The way I see it, we were all perfectly fine not existing until we were forced to live.

I've had numerous surgeries over the years with general anesthesia. It is just a complete and utter void. I imagine death being the same thing, except you don't get to wake up.

Death is scary because it is hard to conceptualize non existence but it is not like you can escape death forever. You will die eventually whether or not you ctb. Ultimately you have to decide if sticking it out is worth the effort. Dying is hard but so is living.
