For the people who say the dream is fake , maybe scientifically even if that’s the case but I’ve had lucid dreams where I can clearly say it felt no different to waking life , I could even say its better as everything is enhance visually and emotionally.

I love my family to bits , but I can replicate that in my dreams . I’m sure after a while of dreaming you’ll learn to accept and adapt to the concept and live with it , just like the same way you would accept something in real life.

And NO I would not get bored there are endless possibilities in a dream , even having endless amounts of money on earth would be nothing compared to the things you could do in a lucid dream.
Very well said!

That you would literally be in your own universe (as its god, BTW), it does make sense that this independent, unique universe ought not end. It is, after all, a universe; that's what they do.

After reading your post I must revisit the response to Higat as I was thinking too linearly: An eternity (or rather an infinite amount of time) in a dream could be possible, given that you will be existing in a separate universe, where "forever" could be as much of a given as anything else.

Yes, your physical body in this universe will wake up normally, but it would do so without the "You" living eternally in that dream. If your dreaming Self is in an eternal situation, it would never encounter that moment of waking, because your reality would be encased, fully and eternally, in one 45-minute REM cycle.

And, because that eternal existence would be completely separate from your waking-life existence, the newly awake physical You would have no conscious memory of the eternal world your mind and body just hosted (universes are cool that way). Who knows? maybe we all strike off into new eternal lives every night!

I'm rambling and not making sense, so I'll stop; just wanted to make that small correction.
