You watching a movie is still you... just watching a movie.In all these, I'm still me from what I gather. As in it's me controlling or at least interacting with the experience as opposed to just watching a movie for example. — Outlander

Dreams may give you a heightened sense of control... so do video games. — Key
Scientifically, it's a well discussed theorem. Alternative universes. Parallel universe. The multiverse. String theory. Etc — Outlander
What are your thoughts on this and what are the profound effects this would have on life, society, and our views on existence altogether? — Outlander
What if when we dream we get to "view" into these universes from our alternate selves? For example you know when you're doing something either exceeding interesting (buying a house, meeting someone, enjoying your family, skydiving, etc) or exceedingly boring (filling out paperwork, doing your 9-5) sometimes you (in a way) zone out for a bit... and just kind of let sensory experience takeover, as in your mind takes backseat to whatever emotions your feeling at the time. Again either out of pleasure or sheer boredom. What if during these times... in both your life in this universe and your life in another universe... these are gateways or "opportunities" for your alternate selves to experience or "view" these lives while dreaming? We've all done or said things during times "when we're not paying attention" or simply "lost track of the time"... do you think this theory could possibly account for this? — Outlander
