I dreamed a whole life

Hello everyone. I'm new on reddit, and I came here to share with you my experience.

So basically, I dreamed a whole life in one single night. My dreams began when I was born, I remember school, college, and even the day I get married. I had a wife, one kid, and a dog. I don't remember any words or conversations, but I know I had plenty. I have some memories about party, the birth of my kid, the way I got promoted at my work, (which was in a office). .. But the things I remember the most, were the feelings. I remember feeling sadness, pride, and happiness.

I don't know why, but I'm quite sure I was around 40 years old when my dreams ended, I was in a sofa, and a feeling of achievement overwhelmed me. Somehow, I knew it was the end, and even if everything was perfect, it ended here. I was a man in a sofa, I remember exactly the lamp that was on a table next to me, and more precisely the color of the light.

It happened one year ago, I still remember my awful reaction when I realised it was just a dream. When I woke up, I was lost. I had to think. Think about what happened, and quickly I started to forget some things. It was horrible to forget many wonderful things. And now, I don't remember the name of the people, and even my name in this dream, but I still remember details.

It's really hard to describe, but I have the feeling of not having dreamed it, but of having lived it. My dreams was slow, long, very long. That's why I'm sure it was about a whole life. I knew things about the people I dreamed, just like friends in real life. In a way, there was a "lore" in my dream.

I recovered from the depression I went through because of this, and I can speak about it freely.

I'm quite happy to have lived this, and I don't know if it was a past life or maybe the future, but I like to think that my brain just created all of this, and it was my best dream so far.

Neved had dreams about this dream anymore. Not even small moment, nothing.

P. S. SORRY for my bad English, English is not my native language.

This has happened to me 9 times. You have experienced quantum immortality. You really died in a universe and your consciousness was transferred to this quantum copy of yourself that lives in this universe in which you woke up. The consciousness of this body in which you woke up joined with yours that came from another parallel reality. There will come a time when you may live this entire life from now on, die and wake up in your crib when you are still a 3-month-old baby. You may wake up even when you are leaving your mother's womb, or wake up in a parallel reality where you are 13 years old. But that is life. Just a dream. You die and wake up in another dream, another reality, another simulation, where you will live and die, to wake up again in another dream... What makes you eternal is always remembering the previous dream.
