Do you still dream after death?

Sometimes after falling asleep, you feel chest tightness or even suffocation unconsciously, but you will not wake up, you are having some dreams, you are in another world. You don't even realize the feeling of tightness in your chest at this time, but you just feel that something is wrong in your dream, so that it is shrouded in your dream, such as a hazy sky. And watching this movie, you may also have such a feeling of chest tightness. Just reading the subtitles is enough to make you suffer. Even if you can understand English, the continuous narrators express their opinions, and the speed of speech is fast and lengthy. , your brain will also be intermittently short-circuited in the complicated work of converting language into consciousness. If you are not careful, you will fall asleep, or you will suddenly realize that you are watching a movie?

There are so many people and so many opinions in the dazed picture, which brings so many rambles. Opinion: Everyone lives in their own mind. The world around us gradually forms our own worldviews, which in turn allow us to build our own worlds, all of which are products of consciousness. And we are so confined to our own minds, though consciousness is sometimes not even controlled by the brain, or it can be something outside the brain. When we are dreaming, we may not realize that we are dreaming at the time, just as the other "self" in the dream will not realize that it is happening in our dream, which seems to be two unrelated things. If our brains still live 6-12 minutes after death, that's enough for us to have a dream in which we can live another lifetime. Or do we wake up in a dream and realize that we are only dreaming when we are alive?

Waking Life quotes

  • Man on TV: A single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage from which to view this experience. And where most consider their individual relationship to the universe, I contemplate relationships of my various selves to one another.

  • Kim Krizan: Creation seems to come out of imperfection. It seems to come out of a striving and a frustration and this is where I think language came from. I mean, it came from our desire to transcend our isolation and have some sort of connection with one another. And it had to be easy when it was just simple survival. Like you know, "water." We came up with a sound for that. Or saber tooth tiger right behind you. We came up with a sound for that. But when it gets really interesting I think is when we use that same system of symbols to communicate all the abstract and intangible things that we're experiencing. What is like... frustration? Or what is anger or love? When I say love, the sound comes out of my mouth and it hits the other person's ear, travels through this byzantine conduit in their brain through their memories of love or lack of love, and they register what I'm saying and they say yes, they understand. But how do I know they understand? Because words are inert. They're just symbols. They're dead, you know? And so much of our experience is intangible. So much of what we perceive cannot be expressed. It's unspeakable. And yet you know, when we communicate with one another and we feel that we have connected and we think that we're understood I think we have a feeling of almost spiritual communion. And that feeling might be transient, but I think it's what we live for.
