04 Apr The multiverse

Here's an interesting one. The multiverse hypothesizes that there are multiple universes that run parallel to each other. But that's just a very rough description. Apparently there are many definitions and many theories - and it's possibly not even real. But that's not the point. I just wanted to write a bit about a dream I had last night. Something interesting. Something about a multiverse. So here goes, as best as I can remember. The dream started out on the day the world ended. I was living alone, far away from everything. Two cartoon characters came up to me for help. I forgot who they were, but at the time, I recognized them as two very popular cartoon characters. Apparently, the story of how they met was that one of them fell from the sky and into the other. And one of them was named Pluto. (But not the dog. Bark.)  They asked to stay in my home because the world was ending. I agreed. After a few moments, seemingly in an attempt to end things, Pluto jumped into an abyss that opened up nearby. I asked his friend if he wanted to go save him. But he explained to me that though he was sad, the two of them would never have met if Pluto never took the plunge through the sky. He said, "If we are together in the world he jumped to, then that is good enough for me." Suddenly, it dawned upon me that the jump was not literally the end, but actually the very _beginning_ of their friendship in the next universe! Pluto would "fall through the sky" and land on his new friend. I woke in a daze, trying to decipher what I just witnessed and heard, and also wondering how in the world I dreamt up such a storyline. Indeed, it was one of the most meaningful and beautifully complex dreams I've ever had. Pluto and his friend shared a friendship so deep that it transcended both space and time. Even now, it's hard to wrap my head around the circular timeline of their universe. So, that was my dream. Hopefully, it's as interesting and thought-provoking to you as it was to me.
