Post, the tenth

[dittoparrot]

With people disappearing and talking about loss and things like it, it's made me wonder something...

If you might have been dead before you came here is there a good chance you're really dead? I know it's weird, but I think I died in my dream because everything went black, but I'm not dead here so yeah... I'm confused.

If someone's dead in their old life then how are they alive here? That's what I'd like to know. [Not owning up to his own I Think I Died. Nope.]

[dittoparrot]

I don't know either, that's why I'm asking!

Was it just everything going black, or was there something else about it?

[dittoparrot]

I remember crying and crying and then just blacking out.

[inthecenterfold]

But it was at the end of your dream, right?

[dittoparrot]

Yes, but it didn't feel like waking up.

[teamwark]

Dead people can't write, right? So I'm pretty sure you're alive.

[dittoparrot]

That's a pretty good point. Still, how do we know what dead people can and can't do?

[teamwark]

Dunno. I'm just guessing. But if you can write and you can think about it then I'm pretty sure they're both signs that you're alive.

[dittoparrot]

Maybe this is where people come when they die though! Have you ever considered that?

[Staring and deliberating at this post forever.]

Maybe you just remembered going to sleep, or a dark place?

[dittoparrot]

Does that happen, can you cry so much you fall asleep?

[inthecenterfold]

Yes.

[lingeringlegacy]

If you get tired from it, maybe.

But I don't believe our dreams are literal. Some things in mine are not physically plausible, like falling from space without suffering atmospheric burn.

...I dunno. Even if we died back home, we ain't dead here, right? That's what matters right now. Makes the idea've going home a bit more troublesome, though.

[dittoparrot]

Quite a few people have said that, and I guess we should just make the most of it.
