Go on, just let it all out!

What does everyone think of in their spare time, as they go to sleep or after watching something that made your heart move.

I've always imagined myself being the hero in a movie, like Lord of the Rings. Battling those evil guys, those big ogre things and saving the world from evil.:flame: Or inventing the next big thing! You know, like the internet or computers, or the theory of gravity. Have my name thrusted into history for another millennium.

It seems so damn immature, but I bet everyone else has had their dreams or crazy ideas. Let em spill.
 
I don't daydream about grandiose things like that anymore, mostly stopped doing that when I hit puberty or thereabouts; but I do think a lot about stuff constantly, like theories on the nature of things and all of that. I also hypothesize with real life situations.

You must have thought out your plans for after life, surely?
 
Yeah i genreally hypothesise about life in general...can be pretty depressing at times D:

What do you mean? Are you asking what I've speculated on the nature of continuous existence / the afterlife?

You could say that. What is your view? You always seem to have good speculations.

And for anyone else, 'hypothesizing about life' as Evo put, please discuss. I find that just as interesting.
 
The universe, why we're here, the beautiful undiscovered/uninhabited parts of our planet and more deep, brain strangling fun.

What i would do in a certain situation, what i would've done in the past. What will happen if x happens tonight. All that kinda stuff :dozey:

I take it you've pondered on the thought, what is below the deepest parts of the ocean. Like the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean as deep as 11,033 meters. Even Mount Everest would just disappear in there.

Any creatures lurking below is the question.
 
@ Black Mesa corp: I always feel a little bit weird talking about it in any vaguely argumentative setting (like this one) because no matter how much I think about it, it still remains pure (though I wouldn't say baseless) speculation. The way I feel is that there is most likely some sort of afterlife. I used to think there wasn't, but the more I think about it, the less I can subscribe to the idea that existence is fleeting - it's too complex. I'm sort of dualist in that sense, because I don't particularly associate mind and body. Various experiences I've had in life (I know you're all thinking I mean psychedelics, but those only factor in) reaffirm this belief.

As to the specific nature of the afterlife, I doubt it's really even remotely capable of being described in language, not to mention that I haven't the slightest idea of what it'd be like (well, I have a feeling for it, but I don't know how to really explain).

I'd like to point out that I don't believe in god or any higher force than myself/fellow humans, except for maybe an all-pervading superconsciousness, but the sum of its parts isn't greater than the worth of any one.

Really, though, I don't think I would mind if death was the end of existence. It's not like my non-existing self would care.

@ Evo: I do that constantly, but I think about big stuff (see above, lol) often as well.

@ Geogaddi: ROFL. That's the kind of old guy I want to be, slightly crazed and living in an old house full of books, with a few cats probably.

Ah for me only think about that big stuff if prompted to by something, take Les Miserables makes me think of politics and stuff.

Also being drunk can make me think of the crazy meaningful stuff
 
Whenever I'm drunk I just decide I love everybody and try to convince myself that posting on Halflife2.net is a bad idea.

Your entering paragraph is exactly how I feel.

The more I have studied that fact of after life in my mind, the more I believe there is some type of afterlife.

My Auntie once said when she was in hospital near to death, she remembered seeing herself from above on the ceiling of the room. She was all hot and her back was on a slippery surface and she didn't want to go back to her body. She said she heard a voice, whether it was herself she was not sure, tell her 'you're going back in' and she refused.

But she woke up. She's still here today.
 
BMC, just be careful when thinking about it - it's hard to eliminate the massive bias due to the fact that you completely and totally do not, as a human, want to accept the fact that it's possible you will not exist at some point in the future.

Geogaddi, not really. I've tried to have an OOBE but I've never really been able to, probably because I'm sleep deprived all the time and can't relax very easily. I've had ones where I sensed schism between my mind and body, but I was still trapped in my body. I'm also pretty skeptical about OOBEs, which factors into it.
 
I just constantly day dream about women, my gf's been away for almost three months and I'm going stir crazy.

although when i'm on buses or in a car i daydream about being a fugitive for some reason...

as far as being drunk goes i don't daydream about anything I'm just very hyperactive and inappropriate.

What gets me every time is that there is no conclusion. However much you dawn on the fact about afterlife, or similar things, there is just no conclusion. So you could say, what's the point of thinking about it in the first place?
 
What's the point of thinking/caring about anything at all? I just prefer to understand as much about my existence as possible, or at least trying to.
 
I would like to point out, to no one in particular, that entheogenic psychedelics are an interesting avenue of exploration, for the brave and responsible. This does not include ecstacy, which is an empathogen and lacks interesting potential. I'm talking more about LSD, mushrooms, DMT, etc.
 
I try and grasp how long forever really is...I mean, really, take a few minutes and think about "forever"...

Also i think about the beginning of the universe/time. Now I always ask myself this question: How can something come out of nothing? I mean, you can't say time itself started when the universe started, because there was a time before the universe, how long it lasted noone knows. But WTF is nothing?? It can't be pitch black, beacuse that is something...And let's just say there was nothing to start with...how the HELL did something come out of it? You can't magically have some reaction to which everything we know of comes into existence...

Really, if there is a God, or some supreme being after you die, I really hope they answer all my questions...as I always say "live thinking, die knowing"
 
I try and figure out what I would say if a hypothetical situation came up. It's a bit embarrassing to actually tell people, though...
 
Sometimes I dream of being on-stage in a band. Nothing epic in the classical sense, just me, with my friends, playing great music and putting our hearts and souls into a live show.

Other times (more often than any other), like Ennui, I'll hypothesize and conceptualize about the complexities of life, the afterlife, and the universe at large. I often find myself deconstructing and analyzing social constructs like the government, families, cliques, religion, forums, etc. for no reason whatsoever, and attempting to find commonalities between different classes of constructs (there are many, FYI, most are fundamentally similar).

Occasionally it's things like "****, I just lost the game", "Dammit I'm horny", and "Is that TV in the corner really making 45-degree angles with each wall?"

By the way - I just lost the game.
 
Getting a job, getting some money, buying a new computer. Also finding a nice girlfriend.

Wild, crazy stuff! I'm out there man, I'm out there and I'm loving every minute of it!
 
I look at stars and think, I wanna go there, not be stuck here for the rest of my life! I want to see stuff beyond all the sh*t on earth, maybe some gas clouds and other galaxies and stuff.
 
I think about friends and how they view me.
 
I constantly wonder how people would react to my death.
I also almost always think about what my girlfriend's doing whenever we're not together.

Semi-emo thoughts ftl.
 
My thoughts usually follow a set pattern. Though never the same, they follow one idea.....example:

I'm driving in my car, and something horrible happens to the extent of me dying. Or somebody I know and care about dying or something that would be hurtfull to me.

Something tells me I have an emo side, but...I must not let it free!
 
I think the fact that anything exists is pretty damn amazing.
