What if life is but a dream, and when you die..you wake up!

Is that possible?..

Probably not but I wish it were true.

More likely that we're living in an elaborate computer simulation. Like we're all characters in an alien Sims type game.

True story:

I had a very close friend who spent - I cannot recall how long exactly - something like six months inside a mental hospital on account of the fact that he could not prove to himself, to his satisfaction, that he really exists?

He could not prove to himself, to his satisfaction, that his cognition/existence were anything more than coincidental (someone else's dream/fantasy/whimsy/passing thought)..

Iloko, be gentle when you take the hook from out of my mouth, mate..

The fact he has perception would negate all that nonsense.

This was something I thought about when I was 9 for fuck's sake. Your friend is more of a moron than crazy.

Possibly

On the contrary, Papi, he is exquisitely intelligent..

Probably not,
but our human brains probably not able to really understand the mystery of life and existence .
People who take Ayuasca report some interesting stuff.

Possibly he is very intelligent, but if he was experiencing a psychosis then that can also impact upon him feelings of disconection to himself and the world.
Did he have a drug induced psychosis or was he diagnosed with a mental illness?
