something something. dont they have those quantum theories?
In the quantum theory called the Many-Worlds Interpretation, every possible outcome exists in different branches of reality.
So when you dream something horrible and wake up relieved, it almost feels like your brain briefly experienced a different possible branch - then snapped back to the one where everything was okay.
Not actual proven physics of course… yet…
Haha yea I totally wake up when I do that
Haha
Any minute now I’ll wake up
Anyyyyy
If things like these occur. I do understand its not reality and tries to stop all the dreams and do a force wakeup somehow.
Where are the square pants
In the reality where he didn’t embarrass himself.
Every time you almost died, You did but your soul is moved to the universe where you didn’t.
Ok. Now when do I wake up?
FUCKING WAKE UP DUDE
I once had the experience of confusing a past dream for a real memory. About a week after what turned out to be a dream, I wanted to talk to my girlfriend about the argument we had. The realization that it was a dream I had fully confused with a memory sent me into a spiral for a while. How could I know which of my memories were actually just dreams I’d never discovered? I decided the only thing I could--that I couldn’t know, and should stop fretting over it.

More likely your subconscious having processed a significant threat, maybe you should pay attention.

“Waking Life ~ Dreams vs. Reality”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDM5tQjXPys
Very interesting clip (from one of my favourite movies) about why dreams seem so “real”.
(TLDW / Quote: to the functional system of neural activity that creates our world, there is no difference between dreaming a perception and an action and actually the waking perception and action).
Did y’all know Alex Jones is in this movie? Look under cast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waking_Life
Great movie. I actually had a few lucid dreams after it. I attribute it to stress combined with the influence from this movie and a few other environmental factors.
I did!
I’m almost embarrassed to say his ‘bit’ really struck a chord. I definitely don’t support him as a person, but the message his character delivered back then still rings surprisingly true to this very today.
Super perfundo on the early eve of your day!
It has been so long since I watched, I totally don’t remember his bit at all. I learned of the connection on an episode of Behind the Bastards podcast. As soon as they mentioned it, I can totally hear his voice in it even though I don’t remember what he says. Apparently back then it was not super clear what a terrible person he would become, and he was a key figure in the “Keep Austin Weird” part of Austin TX. So it all kinda makes sense in context.
I watched it just the other night but similarly haven’t watched it in years (but when I did I binged it a lot). I’m just going to go ahead and link his segment for anyone curious.
The message still hits home just as hard today, even if the guy delivering it is… well… “pretty hard to root for”.
I didn’t think I’d have a problem with his bit given how much I liked the movie, but it definitely hits different today.
He lost me when he first started ramping up and suggested a means of control was to make us feel small and insignificant. I don’t feel that way. In fact, I feel the opposite. I’m not in a position to fix the worlds problems, but I see the influence of my will in the external world all the time. So that part felt a little gasslight-ey. Double that with knowing he goes on to build a huge platform and does absolute evil shit with it – you absolutely cannot tell me my quiet influcce is insignificant. Fuck you(AJ) dude. Also, felt like he’s projecting there, which is pretty modus a operandi for Jonesey – but maybe thats coded by my knowledge of his story since this clip.
Also, I am personally very intolerant of people hollering at me. So that didn’t help, but I did think the color changes in his face were hilarious additions to the animation. That animation made it worth finishing the clip. Lol
Haven’t seen that movie. Is the premise that reality only exists as subjective experience, and a real, physical word outside of our minds is an illusion?
Sorry to give you a cliché/unhelpful answer but; the movie plot is sort of a character dreaming, or rather, being stuck in a dream unable to wake up. He floats through the city meeting people he both does and doesn’t know and listens to their “bit”.
Some of it is absurdists while other parts are really insightful. I’m unsure if you watched the video I linked but it starts with one of my favourite quotes from the film;
‘They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn’t you say the same thing about life?’
If you get the chance and haven’t seen it I’d really recommend it. If you enjoy the rotoscoped animation but want a more “grounded” story A Scanner Darkly is also worth checking out.
I have these all the time. But then when something bad does happen it feels like a dream and I try to wake up out of it.
Last night.
Happened to me just last night!!
