### - cute 13-minute vid re the possibility of the above actually
existing, an argument which is apparently raising some eyebrows in certain scientific circles...

personally, just can't go in-for such a 'multiverse' existing, it's too bizarre? and of not much practical use to-boot either even IF it's true! least-ways not the way they imagine it heh...

alternate dimensions, otoh, may actually exist, and may even be accessible
via dreaming...

the current question being: are the worlds one visits whilst dreaming real worlds or just projections of the subconscious mind? intuitively, one automatically considers the latter to be more correct, after all, all the characters in these dreams apparently aren't real either and/or appear to
have no real substance when tested (and have tested quite a few of them by
now; they're like somehow-animated cardboard cutouts that lose all
volition if'n ya mess too intensely with them...) so why should the
world(s) these cutouts appear in be any more real or have any more
substance to them than them!

which, on the surface of things, is fine... i.e., whilst dreaming we're
somehow able then to instantly create and project whole working cities &
worlds + their inhabitants in the blink of an eye, a marvelous ability
just in itself considering it's all created on the spur of the moment
without any premeditation, one's subconscious mind somehow spinning it all
into a perceivable and explorable 3-dimensional whole, either en-mass
and/or even incrementally as we wander through that dream, turning a
corner and seeing something (maybe even a whole scene) that just wasn't
there a moment ago until you 'turned' that corner! (it could even be like
that, a kinda mental treadmill that creates visual scenes in front and
around us as we go along, could be!)

questions arise though with this theory when it comes to re-visiting the
same dreams multiple times?

i.e., have recently been experimenting with this by deliberately
re-visiting a whole bunch of previous dreams, the point being that they're
not just 'similar' dreams nor simply variations of them, but the exact
same dream(s) as before! dreams one may have had only just a few moments
ago and which you then deliberately return to and know it to be the exact
same dream, or older previous dreams that you can remember having, all of
which conveniently line up to be remembered once you start considering it
and which you can then pick & choose from!

the 'question' being: how can this be? did these 'locations' exist then 'before' i ever dreamt of them? (unlikely) or, having once dreamt them
into being, do they now exist and remain in-situ to be re-explored at will forever??

or... perhaps then, it's just the subconscious mind's ability to perfectly recall any memory in perfect detail including that of previous complete
dreams, which it then re-projects in real-time thus creating the
convincing illusion of revisiting the exact same dream world over again!

some of these dream world are just sooo convincingly real though! (and repeatedly so!) that i often find myself scratching my head in some of
them trying to figure out what's really going on here?? - coz if there's a 'seam' to all you can't find it!? often so convincingly real that i have
to deliberately hover off the ground in them just to keep reminding myself
that it's actually only a dream!

or is it! (really laffing)

problemo is there's no way to tell other than to just assume it's all projection, something which 'sometimes' just doesn't feel right! (and
there he goes hovering off the ground again just to make sure haha) :)
