What If Dreams Are a Shared Realm?
<p><br/></p><p>I've been thinking about something lately, and I know it sounds strange, but hear me out.</p><p>What if dreams aren't just random images our brains create? What if they're actually a second realm a place where millions, or even billions, of people unknowingly cross paths every single night?</p><p>Think about it.</p><p>Have you ever had a dream filled with people you've never met before? They have faces, personalities, and conversations that feel so real. But where did they come from? You never planned the dream. You never sat down and wrote the story. It just... happened. It's as if the dream already existed before you arrived.</p><p>Maybe dreams are another dimension. Not heaven or hell, but a different layer of reality where consciousness briefly connects. Every time we fall asleep, our minds enter this realm, meeting people from countless different realities. We don't remember everything when we wake up because our brains can't fully translate what we experienced there.</p><p>Maybe that's why dreams can feel more real than reality itself.</p><p>A few nights ago, I had a dream where everything felt... blue.</p><p>Not just the sky. The feeling itself was blue. I became strangely obsessed with the color. It surrounded everything, almost like it represented an emotion I couldn't explain. In that same dream, I was also weirdly obsessed with my haircut, as if it was the most important thing in the world. Dreams make ordinary things feel incredibly meaningful.</p><p>When I woke up, I couldn't stop thinking about it.</p><p>Then I remembered "Blue Boy" by Mac DeMarco.</p><p>It made me wonder if my dream and that song somehow connected in my mind. Maybe I had heard it before without realizing it. Or maybe my brain simply found a piece of music that matched the strange atmosphere I experienced while dreaming.</p><p>What's even stranger is that I remember someone being there with me in the dream. I couldn't clearly recognize who it was, but after thinking about it for a while, I wondered if the person reminded me of Mac DeMarco. Probably not literally him but the feeling was familiar enough that my mind made the connection afterward.</p><p>Of course, none of this is science. It's just a thought.</p><p>But what if dreams are much bigger than we think?</p><p>What if every night, we're all visiting the same endless place without realizing it? A place where strangers become friends, impossible worlds exist, and stories write themselves before we even arrive.</p><p>Maybe dreams aren't something we create.</p><p>Maybe they're somewhere we go.</p>
