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…

    If things like these occur. I do understand its not reality and tries to stop all the dreams and do a force wakeup somehow.

    Every time you almost died, You did but your soul is moved to the universe where you didn’t.

    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).

      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.
