Are you sure you answered the right OP? Funny that you say "dreams", that's where I got the idea from.

The version of you is born in this one. The others are seperate even though they're technically you but in an anti-you, meta-you, cis-you,... kind of way.
Maybe if you die here you split up and parts of you merge with your parallel symmetrical yous?

What if we all got our own "parallel reality"?

We definitely have our own individual realities which begin when we are born and end when we die. Nobody else has ever experienced reality seeing from behind my own two eyeballs. There seems to be some overlap with the universes of other living things, but that might all be an illusion, also. But it's a strong and persistent illusion, if so. Until I die, that is.
The arrow of time is a unidirectional part of the space-time continuum, as verified subjectively by the observation that we can remember the past, but not the future. In this regard time is very different from the spatial dimensions, because one can obviously move back and forth spatially. However, there is a contradiction between the empirical observation that time is irreversible, and the time-reversibility of physical laws. Most laws in physics are expressed in a time-reversible manner, meaning that they can be applied in either temporal direction.
