What if your life now was a dream you were having in your actual life but you died in your sleep?

[Anonymous]

So I was thinking, I had a dream last night and it was one of those dreams you get disappointed when you wake up from them, so I decided to make a dumb question inspired by it lol

So imagine if your life rn is just a dream you got stuck in because you died in your actual life while you slept. 😂

Once I felt an odd yet amazing feeling during a dream I had. Since then, I have been looking my entire life trying to replicate and that feeling again. Alas, no luck.
I felt so sad when I woke up yet so fucking grateful to have ever experienced that. It was different and not amongst anything other I have experienced.
I am glad that I had the chance to feel something like that even though it was most probably my own creation (kudos to me yay)

As for your question, that is alright, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if we live in the matrix, if we are brains in jars, if we are lines of code in an endless generating machine, if we died and this is hell, if it is merely a dream, if our decisions are not shaped by free will but by... , if... If... If...

I might be wrong, but I think what matters is what we experience with our limited perception and what value we give.

It is fun and entertaining to discuss such thoughts, however, it is better to take them "lightly", otherwise we risk the possibility of losing our minds.

To replicate and feel that feeling again *

Interesting, I guess that would depend on personality, cause personally I've always been more of the type to think ahead of time and make choices for the future, even if its painful in my present, with big and small things, i might have a few lose screws tho cause i guess for most it would be to take things lightly and basically play with the cards you are dealt and just go with the flow, I've personally found a form of satisfaction on preparing for after, whatever that may be, personally I chose to believe in my religion cause it's what made sense to me but I guess the best way to compare this would be with a video game, have you ever played a video game with servers that have server wipes? It's similar to that, at some point all the progress we do in this world will all be gone but let's say the server had a separate server that had no server wipe, when playing on the previous server, what server would you prepare for? Or use your time to progress in, it's strange I know but so is my brain, now about that odd feeling, if it was you then why weren't you able to recreate it? Not even in another dream right?

Something sounds unusual about that, is this feeling undescribable? Cause it's possible it might be spiritual, were you by any chance in a terrible mood anywhere near that time? 🤔

[valentina4eva]

i would be veryyy confused!!😵‍💫😵‍💫 so is my life completely different in the real world? am i even the same person? and how am i still dreaming if i’m already dead in the real world?😲😲💀

[Asker]

I refuse to accept you'd be any different lol

[nolabels]

It's not a dream for me.
It's a nightmare.

It could be true, too.

I twice went into cardiac arrest earlier this year.
Things haven't been "right" for me ever since.

As in, I'm not the person who I used to be kind of "right".
That's just the very tip of the iceberg in describing my post-cardiac arrest life.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

overused but, your description obviously correlates to The Matrix lol

indoor sunglasses abuse

What you and @MicahRaine said makes me thing about some peculiar storyline seen in a ST: TNG episode, this one exactly: The Inner Light (1992)

[Bricealan]

Have heard of people dying in their sleep, and I can understand why. I had a TERRIBLE dream that I was being 'electrocuted" and it was so real, I feel like I could have died of cardiac arrest or Ventricular Fibrillation from the shock

[Asker]

How you know you weren't having some attack irl and by some miracle you didn't die 🤔

[Bricealan]

Felt like being plugged into an electrical socket

[midnightmoon05]

That would be a nice way to dye in my sleep… sounds peaceful. I have lived a good life and had fun with my cars lol zoom zoom 🏎️

[Asker]

Someone has to hide your license 😂

[MicahRaine]

I've had dreams that lasted entire lifetimes before. Birth-death. They're no joke.

[Asker]

Yea in one night tho right?

[MicahRaine]

Yep.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Interesting ! I don't think I ever experienced that, only subjective few hours felt I'd say

[MicahRaine]

Yeah, it definitely gets interesting lol

It sucks when you wake up though. Usually takes me 3-5 weeks to reconcile my emotions with the fact that none of those people were real.

Some of those lifetime-long dreams involved dating and marriage and kids and grandkids. It's heartbreaking to wake up and know that you'll never see them again, and that they were never real.

[Asker]

Maybe we are frozen in capsules on a huge spaceship, just dreaming lol

[MicahRaine]

Lol naw idts. Even if we are, it doesn't matter. I'm still going to live a good life.

[Asker]

Til you wake up, then you realize you were frozen cause you were traveling light-years so you wake up outside another planet cause you are like a space police so you gotta fight aliens that populated a planet.

[MicahRaine]

Bet that. I'll be prepared from my dreams lmao

Too bad I'm still gonna die lol

[Agape93]

Fine by me. I don't know the real life and this one sucks

[Asker]

What if you wake up in a worse one

[Agape93]

Clock out again

[Asker]

Lmao wtf

[Agape93]

Lol what

[CubaPirate]

Have you recently watch a film called Sixth Sense lol

[Asker]

Nope, I don't know what that is 😂

[CubaPirate]

Then look it up and watch it

[exitseven]

I wouldxbe mad at first but after I am dead I won't care.

[Staximus]

I think you would stop dreaming when you died.

[NathanDavis]

well, at least it was a good one enough... lol

[electromagnetic]

Then it’s game over in this life too.

[Asker]

Wdym 😧

[electromagnetic]

Well I’m my mind, if the real me died out there, then I’d be dead in here. The dream end. Like when people die young or from a tragic accident. Like a paradox.

[Jennz6]

That would suck

[Asker]

Lol.
