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...

Would you really want to prove it? What would that accomplish?

You're probably going to be depressed either way: either your parallel life is worse or your parallel life is better. If it's worse then you have to witness it and (I assume) can't do anything about it. If it's better then it's not really you that gets to enjoy it, and is nothing more than an existential cocktease.

I guess if you're really lucky parallel-universe-you might have invented something world-changing and you figure out how it works and bring that information back to your universe. But if it's anything like most of my dreams it's mostly just uncanny anxiety-inducing quasi-nightmares.

My dreams always bring that moment of "this is so simple and it all makes sense," but as you wake up further and reality starts setting in you realize you can't actually remember much and the details don't really make any sense at all. It's so frustrating.

This week I had a dream I was singing an inxs song to little girl in the street as people watched, my voice was amazing and I was changing the lyrics on the fly to be more childlike and not adult. What in the actual fuck was I doing

You were seeing one of those realities where everyone expresses things in song and can bust out a lyric as easily as stating an opinion. ๐Ÿ˜€
