What if your entire life is just a dream and you’re about to wake up as someone else?

r/

what Would be your reaction if in this “life” you realized you are dreaming and you are about to wake up?
somewhat like the ‘lamp’ story but you have already realized you are dreaming

    Honestly it’s a fear I’ve had before, but I guess my feelings would depend on what I wake up to. I think my biggest fear would be to wake up and find myself much older and not having accomplished anything meaningful

    If I wake up as myself a few years younger I will be ecstatic

    I mean life actually is a dream, you truly wake up after you die

    What if all the dreams you’ve ever had have in fact been entire lives lived, all just as vivid as your true life, and all almost entirely forgotten in the moment after waking up, leaving only the most fleeting details which are then also forgotten after being awake for a few minutes?

    I’d be pretty devastated. The thought of losing the people I have in this life, and love, is awful and idk what I’d do with myself if I came to and they didn’t exist or know me.
    I would try my best to not leave the dream, even if I know it’s inevitable

    I just lurk here, but I’ll share a real story. My dad told us he had a dream that he was a soldier in WWII and got hit by a bullet or something, fell on his side while still conscious, and died. Then he became aware again lying on the same side of his body in his baby crib, the exact crib and bedroom he really had. He said he remembered thinking “I have to do this again?” Then he woke up. It gave all of us chills, and he seemed to think it was possible it really happened.

    Scared of loosing everyone I’ve met in this life, bit excited to live life in the perspective of another person with new people and not making the same mistakes I’ve made in this life

    It’s interesting because I feel as though my dreams are me looking into alternate realities. My dreams are, more often than not, super vivid and they feel extremely real. I recall dreams I’ve had from years ago and in detail, it’s odd but also fascinating to me. I’ve had dreams come true, not to be confused with the feeling of deja vu , but like I literally dream something and it will happen. Sometimes as the dream itself or a different version of the dream (different details but same premise).

    I feel like it could be a fun adventure, but I would be extremely upset with losing those I love and care for her (if they weren’t there in the other reality.

    I’ve thought of this scenario many times

    Couldn’t care less. I expect something like that happening after I die anyway.

    Shut up, that’s what I’ve been daydreaming about for the past 10 years, hoping this fucking nightmare ends

    Didn’t this happen to a dude who was in a coma? He actually had a wife and kids.. then woke up and still mourns losing them to this day, or at the time the article was published.

    I’d probably be kinda happy honestly. New chance at life and maybe the new body would work better than my current one

    If I retained any memory of this life, I’d keep killing myself until I woke up in a life that didn’t suck.
