“The loss of all five senses seems to mean the loss of the individual’s connection with an external reality. What this might mean is the individual would come to solely rely on an internal reality. An internal reality is abstract and therefore hard to conceptualize. This also means an internal reality has little to no basis in the hard sciences...This person might be able to form new beliefs by going over memories stored within their brain despite no longer having a connection to the outside world. Memories could be another component of the internal reality, but only as long as that person lived long enough with some of the five senses to form memories, and then the five senses were removed.”

“Time cannot fully be perceived without shadows to reveal the passage of time from the sun projecting on Earth nor without a clock dial ticking nor without some type of perceivable movement. If all movement in the entire universe stopped simultaneously, most people would argue that time itself has also stopped. The famous pausing time element used in popular movies and shows is often depicted as all movement ceasing to occur. Therefore, it does not seem that time can be fully experienced without movement. Movement is the context required to understand what time is.”

“I was applying for a job position at a counseling center in another state. Mom had driven me there and she had the car parked in front of the building...Tribal people in mossy costumes came in randomly and picked random people...When I looked out of the cave-like opening to the floor below, I saw what looked like a hellish place. This place had a concrete floor, stone and rock walls, and a massive open area. People were laying on the ground and they all had something wrong with them. One guy had his face burned off, exposing his facial muscles, parts of his skull, and his bone nasal cavity. Some young five-year-old girl had no legs but a single wormlike leg with no foot from her waist down. She was playing with this guy who only had one eye on his head. These people reminded me of carnival shows from way back in history. It seemed like the psychologists were testing our fears and what we can handle. When I looked at the floor, the floor was now a blue carpet.”

“Rob gave me a sticky note with incoherent symbols written on the yellow paper...I wanted to ask my dream something, so I asked this priest character, “Have you ever wondered, is this another dimension? You’re in another dimension.” My dream words were confused by the tension I felt building in this moment...The priest gave a puzzled expression...A lady who works at the bar came over to me in a hurry, upset. She told me sternly, “You need to leave.” ​I looked at Rob who was confused. I felt scared and said, “We should go,” trying to be inconspicuous with a low voice. Suddenly everyone in the dim room started looking at us. My fear increased and I wondered if I had just broken some type of dream rule. Before leaving, I made sure to give the priest the sticky note with the unknown symbols on it.”

“The bed was now a hospital bed. His legs, arms, and hands were covered in white bandages and gauzes...He said, sobbing slightly, “I don’t know what to do…I don’t know what to do,” his hands fell back down in frustration. I noticed his face was almost discolored. His left eye looked messy, and his right eye was nearly hanging out. It looked like deterioration. The parts of his eyelid that should be supporting his right eye were falling apart with pale, green-like holes. It was dry with no blood. It greatly disturbed me because I wanted to help him but didn’t know how.”

“I was in front of a big hole in the floor. A girl I liked fell into the hole. I wanted to go after her, but this old lady told me I would regret my decision. I jumped anyways, knowing I may die for her. But then everything stopped and I was floating next to her. We both had cards without faces on them. We floated down and somehow, I knew she was gone...I walked through a tunnel at the bottom of the pit with a white light at the end.”
