What if we're all just dreaming and when we die we wake up?

There is a theory that when we die, our brains stay active long enough that we dream. Some believe that because the essence of time within a dream is so out of whack, that we can re-dream our previous lives. Philosophers believe all we know, in essence, is a dream, and we've just died and our brains have not yet.

It's not philosophers that think that, it is scientists, and they believe it because you release DMT at death which is the dream producing chemical (so cool). And you wouldn't be dreaming "past lives" you would just be dreaming. Probably more intensely due to the influx of various other chemicals, probably like a dream on heroin I think.

[RJGraveyTrain]

Some philosophers do actually. I can't name them as it's been years (we watched a film on it in philosophy) but metaphysical beliefs do circulate around theories based on sciences such as the ones I mentioned so it isn't strictly scientists who have a belief system like this. There is no strict code of belief. Lol.

[Metlahaed]

Ah yes, you are totally right, excuse me. I meant to say Philosophy is highly divided on the topic but science points into the direction of a dream like state of euphoria.

[RJGraveyTrain]

@Metlahaed Ahh I get what you mean. No worries I see your point my friend.

[dropkicknj13]

then I'd be really pissed to have completed my life, woken up, and then realize I have to do it all over again lol

there's another theory that we've already died and everything we're experiencing is our life flashing before our eyes at the end.

There is a theory that the whole universe is just a timeline that we are following.

Like life after death?

[Skeye89]

Sorta...

[frozenhorizon]

That's a long ass sleep then goddamn

[Skeye89]

Time isn't consistent in dreams probably we are sleep for 10mins

[frozenhorizon]

It isn't consistent but there has to be some limitations, there is only so much your brain can process in a given period of time... I don't think it could process an entire lifetime in a normal sleep, lol.

Impossible.. One can not read in their dreams.

[Skeye89]
