Death. Horrible dream. Terrible dream.
When I was a kid I had different feelings about death. I didn't quite grasp death as I do now. But it isn't the death so much that I am worried about, but what if...
What if there is nothing after death, but I go to it fully conscious? Like Mark Twain's Mysterious Stranger I am the only one?
That was the dream, I went to nothingness and I was alone.
How long would one have to live to not be afraid to die? 500 years 1000 years 10000 years? I think living forever would be much like dying into nothingness, so there would have to be an end a stopping point, a point where I wouldn't want to live anymore, but as long as there are people around I think I wouldn't mind being alive.
Well I am alive today so lets not worry about tomorrow.

Did you have the "death dream" last night - I heard you "groan" once but only once?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't have a pipeline to the afterlife, I'll bet big bucks you won't have a "conscious state" after death - it wouldn't be death & still be conscious. I've never been big on reincarnation either, so I'm in the "when it's over, it's over" camp.
As you pointed out, "TSH doesn't have a spiritual bone in his body." (not even a miniscule piece of bone or cartilage).
Let's watch Mary Poppins or something light, like Salem's Lot tonight.
I had bad dreams last night too. Something in the air?
