What if is the only question I really think..
My biggest what if is,
What if this is all someone's imagination. Everyone's live.. All there thoughts and dreams and choices are the figment of someones extremely messed up version of the world..
What if it's my world... & I'm stuck an in unimaginably long dream...
Deep stuff
Am I the only one who thinks like this or what?

    Oh, no. I think stuff like that all the time. Or... what if I'm the star of some Truman Show type thing?

    This totally dates me but many years ago (1980s) there was a prime time TV show called "St Elsewhere" about a hospital...at the end of the series, they made it appear that the entire world of the hospital and the people associated with it were part of the imaginings of this little boy with autism...it was bizarre.

    Is THAT how St. Elsewhere ended...never knew!!

    But yeah, I think about that kind of thing all the time. Sometime's I feel as if I am here simply to amusing some being greater than I.

    My dreams are really realistic so it's like a whole different life and more than once I've confused stuff that happened in dreams with real life - like accusing my friends of having told me something while they never did. lol
    I've also had dreams like the movie inception. I would wake up but then realize it's a dream, and wake up again, and again, etc. Pretty freaky stuff.

    Imagine, if you will, that no one in the world exists except those in your immediate line of vision. This tends to reduce reality to what you have in front of you. That being said, there is no other influence greater than yourself; whatever you choose to do, however you approach this program. it is all on you! And you can do it! So many of us on these boards have relied on every other manufactured method of reducing, yet you will see that post after post confirms that you and I alone are responsible for our success. Be true to yourself and true to your logs, and you will do great!

    I'm pretty sure everyone's had this thought before. It's not original.

    I used to think I was the only real person and everyone else was a robot put there to test me by some higher intelligence.

    I got over it by about age seven.
