what if youre living in a simulation?
what if aliens were real? (there are, but the government us hiding them from us)
what if there were different species of human occupying the earth at the same time? (idk if that makes sense. like how were all homo sapiens right now, what if there still a homo erectus still chilling)
what if every dream we've had was real?
what if dreams were versions of ourselves living in the afterlife?
what if every shane dawson conspiracy was true? (which is where i thought of many of my what ifs)

@notes

(oh i feel. ive had some weird dreams and people would never be able to look at me the same)

@Infinite

I think i'm going to be mentally disabled from all these What Ifs but whatevs y'all it's gonna be a great book. -v-

@kat_i_am

okay but for

what if every dream we've had was real?

consider that I occasionally have brief dreams, just snippets of conversations or events happening in my life, and I don't pay attention to them at the time, but then I end up having those conversations a couple weeks or months later
I remember ones in calc class, in marching band rehearsal, at a band tournament (I spend a lot of time at band okay), with family and friends in my daily life, in texting conversations….
I have no control over when I get the dreams, and I sometimes go a few weeks without getting one.
Also note that one time I had a dream that my older brother died in a car crash and I was terrified for months that he would die while he was away at college like he did in my dream.
So
Good and bad.
Or rather
Benign or bad

@Crisis

I've had that too.. except instead of it going exactly as it did later irl, at the end of the dreams everyone grew wings and turned into demons. Luckily that never really happened

@kat_i_am

that's really weird lol
I don't like them bc like
I realize as soon as a moment starts that I dreamed it
and I can't change the conversation, it's like I'm following the script of the dream
and I feel like I've lost control of my life
it's really weird
heck
I should just write a book about a kid who's mildly clairvoyant and soon his weird visions are dictating his whole life and he's trying to break free

@kat_i_am

oof once I get to it
I gotta finish book two of my trilogy at least (and prob book 3 too bc let's be honest if I put it down for longer than NaNoWriMo for that project it'll be a mess to pick back up)
and my Alice in Wonderland one
before I start my own new one
not to mention the two collabs I'm working on
so
uh
it will be a while….

@notes

I HAVE THAT TOO!!! i always get weird deja vu and when i have it kind of just freeze or i tell my friends "i just had deja vu" and they always reply "from what". idk. how am i supposed to explain to them that this random insignificant moment has happened in a dream before and i dont realize that until now so maybe im a wizard or something

@notes

i love how we're having two different conversations in two different chats im weaaaaaaaaaaaaak

@kat_i_am

no seriously tho
I used to have two separate convos with the same friend in two diff apps at the same time (usually fb messenger and IG dms lol)
