Dreams are glimpses into parallel universes

seems wierd but I love a good nightmare, not the depressing ones that play on things troubling you, but the action packed ones like fighting of tigers wi your bare hands during a nuclear explosion and knowing your impending doom is coming from the kung fu chicken.

 

Love the artwork.

 

I had a dream last night i pished the bed.

 

I had a dream last night that everyone from this forum was at the same airport and then The Dark/Sean South stole my suitcase and hid it somewhere... *.

Don't remember much else about the dream, we were all basically just sitting waiting on a flight and when it was time to board, my suitcase was gone.

Not sure the meaning of the dream... Maybe a sign that I will be leaving the forum or you all will be leaving the forum and I'll be the only one left.

 

The Theory of Parallel Universes

By Andrew Zimmerman Jones and Daniel Robbins
The multiverse is a theory in which our universe is not the only one, but states that many universes exist parallel to each other. These distinct universes within the multiverse theory are called parallel universes. A variety of different theories lend themselves to a multiverse viewpoint.
Not all physicists really believe that these universes exist. Even fewer believe that it would ever be possible to contact these parallel universes.
Level 1: If you go far enough, you’ll get back home

The idea of Level 1 parallel universes basically says that space is so big that the rules of probability imply that surely, somewhere else out there, are other planets exactly like Earth. In fact, an infinite universe would have infinitely many planets, and on some of them, the events that play out would be virtually identical to those on our own Earth.
We don’t see these other universes because our cosmic vision is limited by the speed of light — the ultimate speed limit. Light started traveling at the moment of the big bang, about 14 billion years ago, and so we can’t see any further than about 14 billion light-years (a bit farther, since space is expanding). This volume of space is called the Hubble volume and represents our observable universe.
The existence of Level 1 parallel universes depends on two assumptions:

• The universe is infinite (or virtually so).
• Within an infinite universe, every single possible configuration of particles in a Hubble volume takes place multiple times.

If Level 1 parallel universes do exist, reaching one is virtually (but not entirely) impossible. For one thing, we wouldn’t know where to look for one because, by definition, a Level 1 parallel universe is so far away that no message can ever get from us to them, or them to us. (Remember, we can only get messages from within our own Hubble volume.)
Level 2: If you go far enough, you’ll fall into wonderland

In a Level 2 parallel universe, regions of space are continuing to undergo an inflation phase. Because of the continuing inflationary phase in these universes, space between us and the other universes is literally expanding faster than the speed of light — and they are, therefore, completely unreachable.
Two possible theories present reasons to believe that Level 2 parallel universes may exist: eternal inflation and ekpyrotic theory.
In eternal inflation, recall that the quantum fluctuations in the early universe’s vacuum energy caused bubble universes to be created all over the place, expanding through their inflation stages at different rates. The initial condition of these universes is assumed to be at a maximum energy level, although at least one variant, chaotic inflation, predicts that the initial condition can be chaotically chosen as any energy level, which may have no maximum, and the results will be the same.
The findings of eternal inflation mean that when inflation starts, it produces not just one universe, but an infinite number of universes.
Right now, the only noninflationary model that carries any kind of weight is the ekpyrotic model, which is so new that it’s still highly speculative.
In the ekpyrotic theory picture, if the universe is the region that results when two branes collide, then the branes could actually collide in multiple locations. Consider flapping a sheet up and down rapidly onto the surface of a bed. The sheet doesn’t touch the bed only in one location, but rather touches it in multiple locations. If the sheet were a brane, then each point of collision would create its own universe with its own initial conditions.
There’s no reason to expect that branes collide in only one place, so the ekpyrotic theory makes it very probable that there are other universes in other locations, expanding even as you consider this possibility.
Level 3: If you stay where you are, you’ll run into yourself

A Level 3 parallel universe is a consequence of the many worlds interpretation (MWI) from quantum physics in which every single quantum possibility inherent in the quantum wavefunction becomes a real possibility in some reality. When the average person (especially a science fiction fan) thinks of a “parallel universe,” he’s probably thinking of Level 3 parallel universes.
Level 3 parallel universes are different from the others posed because they take place in the same space and time as our own universe, but you still have no way to access them. You have never had and will never have contact with any Level 1 or Level 2 universe (we assume), but you’re continually in contact with Level 3 universes — every moment of your life, every decision you make, is causing a split of your “now” self into an infinite number of future selves, all of which are unaware of each other.
Though we talk of the universe “splitting,” this isn’t precisely true. From a mathematical standpoint, there’s only one wavefunction, and it evolves over time. The superpositions of different universes all coexist simultaneously in the same infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. These separate, coexisting universes interfere with each other, yielding the bizarre quantum behaviors.
Of the four types of universes, Level 3 parallel universes have the least to do with string theory directly.

Level 4: Somewhere over the rainbow, there’s a magical land

A Level 4 parallel universe is the strangest place (and most controversial prediction) of all, because it would follow fundamentally different mathematical laws of nature than our universe. In short, any universe that physicists can get to work out on paper would exist, based on the mathematical democracy principle: Any universe that is mathematically possible has equal possibility of actually existing.

 

I'm with Torrance. Had to believe but it's impossible not to be true.

 

In your dream? Aye, that happens to me a fair bit.

I've read that it often happens if you have recurring dreams (obvious explanation). Or, it's on some level lucid dreaming, so your in control of your actions within the dream. You're not really foreshadowing what will happen, it just seems that way - you're really controlling it.

 

You're talking real deja vu. I've experienced it once or twice in my life.

Then there's the guy on here who foretold the Boston Bombing! He dreamt it.

 

I had a dream last night about Celtic in the Champions League group stages. We guaranteed qualification for at least European football after 4 games by being on 7 points. Our last two games were against Roma, home and away. Wouldn't mind that coming true this season...

 

I'm still really sceptical about that Boston bombing on here...

 

Its cool, we win, I score 3 in the final with my mate Dougie up front with me. Dreamt it 2 nights ago.

 

What do you mean ?

He posted it before the event. If it was edited, you would see under the post, even if it was a mod that done the editing.

Sure some folk quoted it as well at the time.

 

So you and your mate Dougie will be the two signings that Rodgers has in mind. FFS Celtic, always going for the cheap options!

 

It just seems far too bizarre. I'm sure there are ways to edit things without the footnote appearing at the bottom.

 

Cheap? ..... Noted

 

Probably, think it would involve hacking the site though. Can't even find the original post to look at it. Not sure what thread it was posted in, sure someone will know.

Edit ; Post 186 in that thread. It was quoted by a few people at the time so no funny business went on.

 

After 'Pigeon Boy' gate, I can't trust any mod on here!
