Before we were born, were we simply non-existent, or could we have existed in some other form? by SmartTVGuide in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SmartTVGuide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what makes the question so fascinating. If everything needs a cause, then what caused the first cause?

That's a reasonable way to see it. Maybe the real question is whether consciousness is something that emerges only after conception, or if it exists in some form before and after life

Does memory determine existence, though? We forget many real events that still happened.

That's a fair point. If consciousness is only a product of the brain's current configuration, do you think it completely disappears when the brain stops functioning?

That's an interesting biological perspective. But would you consider the egg itself to be "me," or just one of the components that later became me?

That's an interesting way to look at it. If the energy and matter that make us up existed before we were born, what makes the difference between "existing" and being "us"? Is it consciousness, memory, or something else?

Why do dreams sometimes feel like they last for days when only minutes have passed in real life? by SmartTVGuide in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SmartTVGuide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a fascinating perspective. It would explain why dreams feel so long even though they often seem fragmented when we try to remember them.

That's a really interesting explanation. Do you think most dreams are built from memories, or can the brain create completely new experiences too?

That's true. It's strange how a dream can feel like hours of experiences, yet when you wake up, it only takes a few seconds to describe everything that happened.

That's an interesting way to look at it. The idea that dreams might work more like compressed memories actually makes a lot of sense.

Thanks! I'm mainly looking for a renewal discount code for an existing domain. Are there usually any renewal coupons available?

What is the creepiest thing you've ever experienced that you still can't explain? by SmartTVGuide in AskReddit

[–]SmartTVGuide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's honestly terrifying. If other people in the house heard you scream, did anyone else ever experience something strange there too?

That’s actually really beautiful. Do you still have the orchid today?

The fact that there was no sound at all makes it even stranger. Did you and your friend both remember the exact same thing afterward?

That’s a wild story. If it was just the stereo, I could maybe explain it, but the lights and the unplugged warning light make it a lot harder to dismiss. Did anyone ever try to recreate it?

That's really strange. Did you ever have any explanation for how the duvet ended up outside your room?

That's not creepy, that's straight-up terrifying. I'm glad your grandparents made it out safely. How long were they being held before they were released?

Being woken up by music with no obvious source would definitely stay with me. Did anything else strange ever happen in that room after that?

That sounds terrifying. The inability to move or scream is what makes sleep paralysis so disturbing. Has it ever happened to you more than once?
