Will dying be like waking up from a dream?

I should hope that the events of this life are quickly forgotten, replaced by epic level bliss events so profound and moving that the greatest of Earth joys can't even hold a candle to them.

I'm not sure, but I've never felt this life was truly real. It's just a couple steps above a dream. To our "higher selves" or "souls" or whatever remains after we croak, this life may seem as meaningless and as important as a dream does to our human selves.

But if I were a gambler, I'd bet on the idea that when we're dead, that's it, no consciousness no nothing.

I just really hope my soul isn't ripped from my body and flung into the depths of the abyss to be tortured for all of eternity. Think long and hard about the idea of something that is never-ending. Intellectually we all know what the definition of eternity is, but you sort of have to meditate on it for a bit for the implications of eternity to hit you, the true realization of such a thing hits very hard once you get it.. I'm not a religious person, but lately the possibility of some sort of damnation concerns me. No matter how silly the idea is and no matter how remote the possibility may be, I'm of the philosophy that anything is indeed possible as I don't *know* otherwise.

Anyway, we'll see what'll happen soon enough. All of us will, some day. Look down at your hand and know one day that very hand will be decaying, and soon all that will be left is bone, and soon after that, naught but dust. Or if you're to be cremated, you'll skip the decay part. Bwahaha.

You know how you remember dreams for a little while then they go away?

Do you think going into the next life will be like that?

The one thing I can promise you is you will not be tortured for all eternity. I don't know much but I know that.

Sometimes I just have the 'knowing'.

There is nothing after death. Death is the end, kaput - IT...

I could read these afterlife stories all day. Very interesting. I sure hope they're true. Some of my friends died in their middle 40s while sleeping. Mostly heart attacks. I envy them. I'm so ready to go. I don't like this experience.

Our dying is no different from
any other creature dying.
It is the end of us.
