Your dreams and imagination evolved as a view into another universe. As with the current beliefs, you cannot decipher technical information – no words in books, no details of how devices work, so even if you can describe things you see from another place, you could not reproduce a working version.

Now how do you convince others that the things your are seeing are really happening without being labeled insane? And how could you use this information to benefit yourself or others? Take a peek into the multiverse to see how other versions of yourself have solved these problems…

Lucid dreaming being a thing shatter the whole premise anyway.

Oddly enough my own (limited) experiences with lucid dreaming didn’t really break down the barrier for technical details. Sure I knew I was dreaming, I could think about and control what I did, but I still couldn’t read a book. When I was younger there was a time where I kept having dreams about writing books on various subjects, it felt like I was actually planning out the arrangement of topics and writing down the words, and yet as I woke up everything was lost. So did I actually compose a story (because yes, I’ve written some short fiction) and then forget the whole thing, or did another version of me write down the stories and I simply couldn’t bring that knowledge back with me from the parallel universe?

Define universe.

One universe would be one reality. Go with the multiverse theory that every potential decision creates a new universe, a new reality that followed each option.

I hope not. The other night I had one where I was pooping slugs

That could be you, in a Harry Potter universe. You know that spell that makes people vomit slugs? This would be just a variant

I had dreams of omnipotence. Including omniscience - they knew I was dreaming of them. In fact, one of them was particularly aggravated that I was aware of them.

If those universes are real, then they could contact me in this one.

They have not. So those gods aren’t real.

I dunno what this changed.

If you can’t functionally use any information from the other universe or vice versa, then what’s the difference between a real universe or a fake one.

Honestly it comes down to a similar question about whether or not you are living in the Matrix. If you can’t change or control anything, then it doesn’t make a difference. But if you can find a way to hack the system, what could you do with it? I’m enjoying seeing the different theories that everyone has.
