What If We Are Living In Simulation?

I don’t know when I started questioning reality. Maybe it was that one dream where everything felt so real, I woke up crying—my heart racing, my hands trembling like I had just returned from somewhere that mattered more than this world.

You know those dreams? The ones where you meet people you’ve never seen, but somehow you know them. You feel things deeply. Time bends. You fly. You cry. You understand things you’ve never studied. And then—snap—you wake up in your bed, with your alarm blaring, your body stiff, and the dream dissolving like smoke.

It hit me one morning:

What if that dream wasn’t fake?

What if this is?

The Glitch in the Simulation

I started reading. Not just casually scrolling—deep diving. I found physicists, spiritual teachers, philosophers, and even AI researchers saying the same strange thing: this w/orld might not be what it seems.

Elon Musk once said, "There’s a billion to one chance we’re living in base reality." Meaning: we’re most likely inside a simulation.

Even some scientists believe the universe might be made of information—code, not matter. That would explain why particles behave differently when we observe them (look up the “double slit experiment”—it’s wild). It’s like the universe only renders what we pay attention to. Like a video game.

Dreams: The Hidden Door?

But here’s where it gets weird—dreams.

When I’m dreaming, I don’t question anything. Flying feels normal. Talking to my late grandfather? Sure. Visiting a city that doesn’t exist? Why not?

And sometimes, those dreams feel more real than waking life. More vivid. More emotional. More me.

I began to wonder:

What if dreams aren’t just our brain firing randomly?

What if they’re our soul—or our consciousness—tapping into a higher layer of reality?

Some ancient cultures believed that dreams are the true world, and waking life is the illusion. Even today, Tibetan monks practice “dream yoga”—a way to become aware inside the dream so you can explore it like an inner world.

Then I Found the Pattern

Here’s something I never noticed until recently:

My dreams often teach me things. They reflect what I’m afraid of, what I’m avoiding, or what I secretly long for.

It’s almost like someone—or something—is trying to communicate with me through symbols and emotions. Not with words, but through meaning.

What if that “someone” is me—but from a higher layer of reality?

What if we’re dreaming down into this world, not waking up from it?

The Simulation Theory

Let’s suppose:

You are a higher being—consciousness, soul, whatever you want to call it.

You want to grow, to learn, to understand love, fear, time, and choice.

So you log into a simulation called “Earth.”

Inside this simulation, you forget who you are. That’s part of the game. You live a life with limitations, pain, joy, and choices. You have free will, but you also have dreams—tiny whispers from your true self trying to remind you that this isn’t all there is.

And when you sleep, you “disconnect” from the simulation for a moment, and you get glimpses of the higher world. A place with no rules, no physics, just raw consciousness.

What This Changed for Me

I stopped seeing dreams as “weird nonsense.”

Now, I see them as messages—from myself, from beyond, from the deeper layers of reality.

I also stopped stressing so much about being “successful” in the material sense. If this is a simulation, then maybe the goal isn’t to win—it’s to remember who you are, and what you came here to experience.

Maybe it’s about becoming more aware. More loving. More real—within this illusion.

And oddly enough, this made me feel more alive. Not less.

A Thought for You

Tonight, when you dream… try to notice.

Ask yourself while you're dreaming, “Is this a dream?”

Maybe you’ll wake up in the dream. Maybe not.

But even asking the question plants a seed.

Because if reality is a simulation—and dreams are the truth—then maybe the key to everything… is already inside you.
