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…

    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.
