Do you ever get the overwhelming feeling of "non-reality"?

I do not mean to be philosophical, but does it happen to you that when you start to think about the world, you slip into a moment where you are overwhelmed by a certain feeling of everything being just a part of your imagination. It is a cocktail of emotions, from fear to joy.

When I think too deeply about things I start to. I look at castles and think "there can't be that many bricks" and start questioning everything.

Not just that, that's just one weird example

@KuroNeko for the common people yeah, but the oversight... The king who ordered it is dead. The architect is dead. The foreman is dead. They're all three generations gone. Who's running the show?!

@CheshireCatalyst maybe they were into reincarnation 🤷‍♀️ or it was just a case of the builders being typical builders and saying 6 months when they really meant 80 years. 🤣

@KuroNeko oh, definitely the latter :D. And the initial estimated costs were 30 sheep and it went up to 30000000000000 sheep.

Well, life is but a dream.

@KuroNeko How do you know that this signal exists? Just your feeling, or we can explore it further?

@sumojumo theres plenty of science on waves and fields. The theory of morphic resonance is interesting too. That comes from a guy called rupert sheldrake. I come from a pretty rational, scientific place too. It may not seem like it! I like to research different areas until things link up. I've never been one to just pluck an idea out of the air and go with that lol. Its unfortunate that these areas are still regarded in that way.

@KuroNeko I am very careful when it comes to such things. To me it sounds like: "when you have a hammer, the whole world is a nail". Physics has indeed modeled a lot of natural phenomena as waves, however I am very skeptic when it comes to extrapolating this notion to other realms. This is often misused in scientism, which is just using "sciency" words to build a sort of fake sense of importance. Probably the most famous representative of scientism is Dheepak Chopra. I am not sure what kind of research you are referring to, I just like to be cautious :) since there are so many quacks out there.

Yes, it’s hard to tell reality from fiction these days and It’s ok to question it.

@SW-User currently there are plenty of reasons to doubt the reality, i agree. I think I did not have this situation in mind, I had those kinds of feeling my whole life, regardless of the political and other situation. I do not know if it is only my particular mind that does this tricks to me, or is it pretty common.

You could always speak openly to someone you trust about how you’re feeling. @sumojumo

@SW-User I do try that, when I manage to open up it is always great. But it is also hard sometimes... I have no idea what is causing the block, probably some silly reason. Why the hell are our brains constructed in such a stupid way. We know what is best for us, but we do not do it - how silly is that :D.

Quite often
