What If...?

Has it ever happened to you, dear reader, that, while sleeping, you had a dream, during which nothing unrealistic, or out of the ordinary took place - you did not fly, you were not instantly transported to a different continent, or to a different day of the week or anything - but, instead, it was just an ordinary, a perfectly mundane piece of a very reasonable life - with but one strange aspect: it bore absolutely no resemblence to your actual life in the real world?

Has it ever happened to you, that a dream had shown you a natural result, of a completely conceivable chain of events, which never took place in your own life - but, nonetheless, coming to think of it, you realize that it might have been your life, had things gone just the slightest bit different - either for better, or for worse?

Let's take, as an example, something which had just happened to me, prompting me to compose this post: a few hours ago, while having my Stunde (normal Afternoon nap, that is), I was havimg a dream, during which I knew that I need to complete my scientific paper, due in a bit over a month, in order to complete my assignments for a very important course in my university, which counts towards my much desired PhD.

There's only one single problem here: not only I do not have any such assignment in the real world, also I have absolutely nothing to do with any university, and I do not have any interest, nor respect, towards any academic titles as a whole (I regard it as an extremely lousy insentive to the acquisition of Knowledge which, I firmly believe, should be an end in itself, never cheapened into becoming the means to acquire some dumb societally decadent and bourgeoisie concept, such as "academic [or another] title".

Nonetheless, that version of myself, which I had briefly experienced in my dream today, had a completely different view of the subject, and had a completely different life from mine, totally separate and wholly unrelated to the life which I, Danniél Qeletti ("Danniél 'Odéd Kedem"), currently have.

However: it is possible, that I would have gone back to university, say, back on 2017 or 2018, due to the december 2016 - january 2017, and/or the june 2018 personal crises, which had thrown a large part of my belief system into doubt. I am able to see myself living that life. I am able to see myself thinking such thoughts, and having such goals.

Differently, on three different occasions (November 1998, july 2003 and January 2023) I had other dreams... frightening. Heart-chilling. Mortifying. About very possible realities, which I shall not narrate here.

And, in all of the cases in question, I am talking about completely realistic dreams, with no "super-natural" flavour whatsoever to them; this is why the three dystopian ones were so extremely mortifying. This is why one of them - I shall tell you which - still makes me shiver, any time I recall it, many years later. My greatest fear...

So, to the point of this post: IS IT POSSIBLE, THAT ALL OF THOSE EXPERIENCES ARE, IN FACT, REAL??? THAT, WHILE SLEEPING, MY BRAIN HAD SOMEHOW BECOME MORE OPEN, MORE ACCEPTING, TO RECEIVE SOME SORT OF MESSAGE, OF THOUGHT, OF MENTAL ENERGY FROM A PARALLEL WORLD, A PARALLEL QUANTUM REALITY, NO LESS VIABLE THAN OUR OWN???

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT, IN TIMES OF SOME LARGE EMOTIONAL, OR MENTAL STRESS, OUR BRAINS CAN SEND SOME KIND OF A "DISTRESS CALL", THAT COULD THEN SOMEHOW REACH OUR PARALLEL SELVES, THE PARALLEL VERSIONS OF THEIR OWN, AT OTHER, PARALLEL UNIVERSES, PARALLEL QUANTUM REALITIES???

An Edit:

I wonder as to whether an actual scientific experiment can be devised, in which our brainwaves during sleep, and dream, shall be documented as in an EEG, and then, whenever we might have such kind of a dream, we shall perhaps be able to scientifically analyze those transcripts and see, whether or not we can idenyify an extraordinary pattern to them, to see whether our brainwaves were somehow then different than what they normally are, which, in turn, might suggest there could actually be something more to it?
