That your life was just a dream? That you're in a coma? That nothing existed until the "day" you were born?

I mean, there's much to prove these thoughts false but it's a very curious idea I'd say. How are you supposed to prove that you're not "dreaming?"

Yes, I've dreamed in dreams before.

Actually, this is kind of funny. I sometimes get these weird perspectives that I'm the only one on the planet, and that everyone else is just a hallucination. It's scary to think about, that if this were true, you are interacting with yourself on a day to day basis and everything else was just a clever apparition of your imagination.

Though, this could just be some subconscious thought that makes me seem like a narcissist... :P

Interested? Probably not. It's okay, I wouldn't be either. Just PM me

To the point I don't give a shit anymore because it's not worth thinking about because it's so complex you'd probably be asking questions eternally.

It's something interesting to think about, I've been there myself.

Especially the bit on what could be a hallucination and what isn't. Take the movie "A Beautiful Mind" for example. I think it does a really good job of showing how vivid and believable hallucinations can be. It might be irrational, but sometimes you can't help but ask what's real and what's fantasy.

Assuming the worst the best I can.

Sometimes I think about what it would be like if one day I woke up as a different person. If I had just dreamed this whole life or something like that. I dunno, but it keeps me up at night

Some weirdo the other day gave me an option to take a red or a blue pill. I gave him the option to shove them both up his ass. Like I'm gonna take a pill from someone I don't know.

I feel this way often in fact. I thought like, what if I'm in a coma somewhere, and all of my movements are actually happening, but I'm there on a hospital bed?

then i dismiss the thoughs and crack open a mountain dew.

In a dream, I know I'm dreaming when people don't bring me new information. If I know I can invent everything people tell me, I know I'm dreaming. But I'm sure anybody here could teach me a new English word. This proves you guys aren't a product of my imagination.

I'm convinced we live in a Matrix like system.
As a matter of fact just today I saw someone lag in the parking lot and just jump in front of a stop sign.

When I think that, I walk into a wall. Because if I were dreaming, that wall wouldn't stop me and I'd go right through it.

It happens sometimes, and almost always on a shitty day. Near the end of the day, I'll be thinking about the day's ups and downs. I'll be wondering how good or bad of a day I've just had, and a thought will smash it's way to the front of my mind; how insignificant everything I do truly is. How all my problems, aspirations (Got that word from The Sims :P ), and fears mount to nearly nothing in the grand scale of things. It's depressing and somewhat funny. Because no matter how bad I f*ck up, at least the world will keep on turning.

I have tried imagining if everything was a mere dream, that reality is a false term, then I realized that I'm just wasting my time with pointless pondering, because I'll never get a real answer.

I try not to care about such things, let alone let them get to me.

If we are all dreaming, it makes no difference, Itd only make me think that this is obviously better than what waking up would be. Im cool with it

I've had moments where I think I might be in a dream and everything is weird for a moment and I feel odd to be alive at times, if that's what you mean.
