I had a dream once where a woman grabbed my head, looked me in the eye, and said “when you wake up I won’t exist.”
Freaked me out
I had a dream where I was in a group project back in high school, and I was apologizing to all of my group mates because I knew it was a dream and I was gonna wake up soon and leave them with all the work.
Oh my god, are you okay? That's one of those you never let go of.
He's okay, it's the woman who's in trouble here.
I wonder if he ever woke up. This is sad.
I hope he did, because if he didn't then that means we're inside his dream too.
In which case we need to make sure he never wakes up.
Your right we must save the woman, to save the world.
Save cheerleader == save world!!!!
You could make a religion out of this.
(plz no)
It's basically the religion in the Elder Scrolls games (Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind).
Ultimately above the deadra and all that, there is the sleeper. There's a "dream sleeve" between their reality and the sleeper. If you can be spiritually free enough you can rise above and into the dream sleeve. Then you become like a God.
My favorite quote:
Row, row, row your boat
Nah dude I lost my purse on my bike ride today, then had to backtrack which made me run out of battery 30 miles into a 40 all because I was a dingus and didn't secure it properly like I usually do. Now I have a sunburn and my legs ache and I was having a nice ride without moving my toothpicks. Wake him the fuck up.
It is nice to have something trivial to complain about though.
Has anyone found an exploit, by the way? I can see our fore-hacker Hitler killed millions trying to hang the system, or Musk accumulating money trying to overflow the registers, to no avail. I mean, it has to have vulnerabilities if it's a dream, which is just a simulation.
lol
Maybe that's why right wingers are so anti-woke, they're worried they're part of someone else's dream ...
I'd argue that non-existence is far less troublesome than the reverse.
Do you know what would be even more freaky? If you saw her again.
If you do see her again, make sure you go straight to her and give her your most affectionate kiss. Worst case scenario is that it is the reality and you go to jail for two weeks. It's totally worth it.
Was your dream this xkcd?
Oh good it wasn’t my idea so she’s not actually real
Relevant xkcd
She does, though. Your brain created her.
She is you.
This is the idea of this song, which I love https://youtu.be/k7kSKU4cD-g
Edit: the song is Make Me Real by shemusic, in case the YouTube link is a problem for anyone. Available everywhere including Bandcamp.
Get rekt dream lady
