Reminds me of Descartes' simple stuff I remember that was also echoed in the Matrix. Have you ever had a dream you really believed was real only to find you were asleep? And then wakebup again from that? The brain is driving and you only get to experience the reality it reveals to you. And you are blind to the inputs and most of the background processing. Dropping acid will demonstrate that its a chemical processes with "knobs" you can turn and get different results. Crazy ass shit 😂

I’ve had a more profound experience than waking up from a dream in a dream. I talked about it once briefly but trying to verbalize it now makes me sound insane to myself, so I won’t.

No worries my brain will make up something cool up to help me imagine it with no tarnish to you character😂

It’s no big deal I can share again. Basically, I once had a dream that felt like it lasted a lifetime. I would think nothing of it except that when I woke up I felt like I was torn out of my own (different) life. But in this dream I had a different family and I wasn’t really me but someone else. I felt deeply sad .. maybe depressed even for a day. It was as close to a religious experience as I can imagine and I don’t have those ever.

But, thinking about it now, it feels like I could have overimagined things and it’s hard for me to believe that’s an actual thing that happened. If I was someone else telling me this I’d think they are batshit crazy.

Wow, intense!

Yeah. Hope to never experience it again and don’t wish on anyone.
