  I have won the lottery in my dream once and it felt SO REAL. I knew for sure that was not a dream. So much so, that my bubble of happiness only burst when I opened my bank account and reality slapped me in my face. But for those few seconds after waking up, I was so happy. I hope, somewhere out in the universe that is the actual reality for another one of me.

  This is totally on point. Makes total sense and makes for a good starting point on reality once accepted imho.

  I got really high on edibles once (well a few times but this specific time) and I was so high I was in a dreamlike state and there was the version of me that was sitting with them and the other “me” was on top of a building pretty much like near a light pole. And I said out loud (I guess in my head) that we all exist in multiple places all at the same time.

  I have just woken up from a dream where I was flying and I was in a different place that looked like paradise, it was so peaceful and felt real, but there were people there who I recognised but dont really know them if that makes sense, they were just background characters  in the story, it felt real and like I could control the dream, I woke up at one point then went back to sleep and picked up where id left off, it was amazing, I feel like I've just come back from a different reality, I feel sad now because I want to go back 😢

  When I was a kid I remember having a dream that my old school and my new school were somehow the same place and were seamlessly blended all together! It felt perfectly normal to me until I woke up!

  Dreams may not be literally quantum, but the comparison helps explain why impossible experiences feel completely natural while asleep.

  Repetitive dreams throw me for a few hours after waking up… especially when the people in the dream I have never met in daily life yet there they are same people same dream… and in the dream their not strangers…odd

  Better. Life is  better in the dream. This waking world is the nightmare.

  So calming and thought-provoking, this beautifully connects quantum ideas with the strange logic of dreams.

  Laying in bed drifting off to sleep and then my brain goes: &quot;Hold up, if we could find a way to forcibly trigger the brain state of REM sleep in a waking human, would they see reality for what it truly is? Would superposition experiments yield the same results?&quot;<br><br>I don&apos;t think I&apos;m sleeping any time soon
