Long time poster here for a good many years but somehow managed to lose my Username (it was Redeye something or other I think) password and
registration email so, here I am.
Anyway S&F OP, amazingly thought out discussion. And yes I know the initial thread is 5yrs old but this is a topic I'm extremely close to. I started
writing a screenplay a while ago about Alt-Earths and been researching for ages, but this is only the second time in over 20yrs I've looked into them
I've come across the dreamscape theory.
I think it's extremely closed minded of those I've seen on here just to say "Alt-Earths don't exist" and "Using only 10% of our brain is a myth, we
use it all" when both those statements are deemed false in the wider realm of science and in fact quite the opposite of both is being proven more and
more as "time" passes.
Now back to the topic at hand, I've been reading over this particular thread for the last few days and making an even bigger point to watch my dreams
closely and monitor them and a specific one last night drew my attention to something quite strange.
Someone on here, I believe the OP, regarded how with dreams we tend to enter a scenario that's already in the process of being played out. Now whilst
I agree with that, I saw something which made me question whether a dream is not unlike something mechanical with cogs.
So in this dream I was walking around a housing estate which has shops underneath the apartment blocks but I knew flat out it was a dream, I had
entered mid-point and everything was going on as normal. Men and women walking around, kids on bikes except there was one particular guy kind of
walking beside and just ahead of me... I couldn't see his face or appearance but it seemed as if he was me, or an echo of me and I kept telling myself
that. He's an echo and this is a dream. Also to add the estate doesn't exist to my knowledge in this "Dreamality" (my own copyright) and I've never
been there.
Anyway just ahead of me and the echo was a guy I know from where I grew up named John (or Murphy as it was his nickname bc he looked like Eddie
Murphy) Anyway he had a dog with him that looked like it was supposed to be scary but wasn't. He stopped my echo but completely ignored me and asked
me if I had a cigarette (he always did this) and I'm assuming the echo gave him one. He then handed the dog to the echo picked up a gym bag and
headed into the gym. I then decided in that instant I was going to "carry browns around with me in case he stops me again". Despite it not being me he
stopped (also browns are what we used to call cigarettes). I then felt inside my pockets and found a few cigarettes and a lighter. This happened only
after I "consciously" decided to carry them around with me - And I don't smoke.
Now to get to the original point I was making... When my echo and I were rounding a corner on the estate just before we saw Murphy, it was as if he
was stood there frozen, the dog too. That was until my echo got to a certain distance ahead of him and he looked up and asked about the cigarettes -
Reminded me of the people in WestWorld actually 😂 but it was as if he had just "entered the game" so to speak you know what I mean??
Anyway very first post in many years & I just wanted to share that! Looking forward to more debate and discussion on ATS 👍
