Pardon the cliché but have you ever had a dream where you had knowledge of things, people, places and events only to awaken to find that none of it had any basis in reality? You didn’t know what you thought you did because it didn’t fit in the realm of reality, the people weren’t real nor did they even come close to anybody that you knew, and the events didn’t even echo faintly anything that you’ve seen or done. You awaken back to you and nothing more.
I once had a dream several years ago where I lived an entire life from the early 1910’s until the late 1980’s and died horribly. I awoke from it crying because of how sad the end was, but after I managed to regain my composure I began to think that maybe that is also what life is like. You awaken to yourself when you die; this world is just a figment of your imagination. I mean nobody can actually prove they exist, maybe we don’t.
Have you ever had something like this happen to you before? What did you think of it?
