SAEDNEWS: Scientists claim that during sleep, your consciousness can journey to different worlds and times.
According to SaedNews, scientists suggest that dreams sometimes act as gateways to alternate realities, connecting a person to another version of themselves in a parallel world.
According to IA, researchers in their study claim: "Historically, dreams have been perceived as mirrors reflecting our conscious waking life, filled with symbolic representations of our desires, fears, and experiences."
Contrary to traditional views, an intriguing speculation exists that dreams may serve as conduits to alternate dimensions or advanced states of consciousness, indicating a deeper and broader role for sleep.
This hypothesis is inspired by the "Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Theory," also known as the multiverse theory.
It suggests that for a quantum event, there are multiple possibilities or outcomes. Each of these outcomes occurs in separate worlds. For example, if you played a soccer match, your team might have won in this world, but in another world, your team might have lost.
The authors propose that in dreams, one can travel to these other worlds. However, this is not the primary scientific basis they use to support their hypothesis.
According to David Leong, the lead author of the study and an honorary professor at Charisma University in the Turks and Caicos Islands, when someone sleeps and dreams, their consciousness may cross the boundaries of space and time.
This is because, during sleep, an individual's consciousness has the least contact with their logical brain, reality, and physical senses. It is worth noting that scientists still know little about human consciousness and its limits.
It is possible that consciousness might experience something similar to quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where two particles, regardless of the distance between them, can affect each other's states. There might be a possibility that consciousness could also affect people across parallel worlds. The authors state: "This leads to a re-conceptualization of consciousness as a more expansive and interconnected entity with the potential to navigate a multiverse of experiences."
The study adds: "Dreams could be psychological tools for tapping into this collective unconscious, exploring, and experiencing a shared human narrative beyond the personal."
However, these are all possibilities, and there is no real empirical evidence to confirm that a person can actually travel to alternate realities in dreams.
Leong says that recurring lucid dreams with strong emotions and memories are the ones that could potentially take individuals to their alternate versions in parallel worlds.
Leong noted that while these dreams might reflect unresolved psychological themes, such as anxiety about personal growth, they could also serve as gateways to alternate realities.
