'Imagination turned reality. So the real question is, was his thinking really imagination at the beginning but reality that hasn't yet to be materialised. You see you humans are getting closer to this school of thought. Like a common saying you guys have, which is: anything you dream about or you imagine, can be brought into reality. But then you all forget the second line probably because it doesn't exist yet since humans feel they have no defined limitations. It says: But not everything imagined can be brought to reality' . He paused for a second letting his words sink in.
Otis had a look of intrigue on his face and then he asked a question.
' But humans have no defined limitations cause we keep on evolving'.
The voice gently laughed and replied in a quiet way.
'Humans have a defined limitation because it was placed by their creator, but then the defined limitation is always extended by their will. You know, if you will to do something, you would surely get it done. But there would comes a time when will wouldn't be enough to push past the stagnation point, will becomes a fable and then it turns from will to wish and that would be when the creator comes in.'
'Mhmm, so it's when we turn our will to wish, that's when the creator comes to our rescue? ' Otis asked.
' Well, what can I say ? It's a theory that has no concrete proof despite the presence and also lack of evidence available'.
'Your points are logical, albeit a little confusing' Otis remarked.
He smiled and continued.
'Speaking of dreams, when a human sleeps, two things would happen at the end of that slumber, death or rebirth. '
'What ?' Otis retorted.
Quickly he brought a finger to his lips and said to him,
' No more interruption, until I'm done'.
Otis nodded in acknowledgement and cautiously looked around before concentrating on his other self narration.
'Yes, death and rebirth. Death, you die in your sleep. Rebirth, you wake up from your sleep. That's why some folks do say that sleeping is actually another form of death, although a mid one. Which is one of the reasons people die in their sleep, its easy to slip into eternal rest while being there. and here we are is one of the major reasons why people die in their sleep. contrary to popular beliefs, that God called them back home, but no, they choose to stay in their own world than return to the real world'.
'For example, you have had a dream before right,'
Otis nodded his head.
'Good, and in that dream, you have found out that you could create things out of thin air. Anything you thought about, visualized or even say would come to pass right ?'
Otis was unresponsive for a moment before nodding his head again in an up, down pattern.
'Now if you had noticed, you would realize that there was nothing like time, I mean the concept of time didn't exist there. so you have no prior knowledge on how long you spent there which can be months or years as you see yourself driving your favourite car, or starting your family with a crush or a celebrity or getting a dream job or even made a king over your world. but when you wake up, you use the period of before going to bed and after waking up to judge how long you slept. but then you would find out and realize that both length of period of existence doesn't correlate. You could have just slept for five hours but in your world, you lived to see your grandchildren. Makes no sense right, but then it's what it is, the truth.
You see humans who dream and end up on their own world, create a false reality for themselves, based on their wishes, desires and fantasies. Now upon dwelling in such places, they unconsciously compare it to the other life they are living. I mean which would be better, obviously the created reality, cause you get what you want, do what you want and never bother about the daily struggles of the real life.
Now guess the crazy of all things you could also do in your own world.
'Create life ? ' Otis asked.
'Excellent, you are smart. The creation of life. Anyone who he or she has lost in the real life ca be created in the realm of his or her own world.
'Annie' Otis muttered softly.
'No, brother don't do that. I wouldn't let you do that to yourself, let her rest'.
Otis slowly nodded and asked another question.
'But does that mean the person would be the real deal ?'
'In some cases Yes, in some cases no.' If the person dies'... he paused for a moment and then continues. 'A husband just died and few days later his wife dies also. Now in some cases, the man would wish for his wife to be with him. If he just drops a wish, an exact version of his wife would be created for him. But if he wished for the real deal, then he would need to appease the death god, since he would be losing a soul in the process. I do not know much about how it works since I haven't tried it yet and my knowledge isn't infinite.
Now there are some people who travel during dreams, they visit other worlds. We call them the dream explorers. There are some crazy happenings where some of them gets transmigration into another being body. I mean this, you start dreaming and then you travel worlds, your soul do the travelling not your body and some universal shit occurs where by you might accidentally bump against a body, an empty who just lost its soul and accepted you or better still absorbed you as it new owner.
Now those people would also be proclaimed; they died in their sleep, but meanwhile he just underwent transmigration and moved from being a human to another human. sometimes it occurs from both humans to another humans and yes it also occurs for other creatures too. Ever heard of the reptilian people on your earth'.
'Yeah, heard it was some reptilian aliens among humans ' he nodded his head.
'Mhmm. it was nothing more than a few reptiles from a humanoid race getting reincarnated into humans empty shells in our own dimension.
But then they say those who are been reincarnated are always known as the special ones, you want to know why ?, because the get to keep their previous memories or powers or they are being gifted unusual gifts by the universe. '
'The universe ? I thought you would say God ? 'he questioned.
'The universe, God, they are all the same thing'
