I’ve been reading copious amounts on Holography, and the notion that we may be living in a holographic simulation. I haven’t felt anything was real for 5 years. in fact, I even doubt my memories. I feel as if they are figments of a larger dream…I often confuse my daily thoughts and actions with my dreams. does anyone else do this? also I feel extremely special…like the fact that I haven’t felt real for so long and the fact that I’m catching on to the physics behind it means that I was chosen, or that im more important. any help? I could elaborate forever…
Well man. Don’t know what to tell you. That sounds a bit delusional and symptomatic. Sometimes reading into things can be dangerous. I personally disagree with the holographic universe theory. We definitely exist in 3 dimensional space. Things have their properties and distances. It would be entertaining to think other wise. Tread lightly friend. Your as real as any of us.

I struggle with this theory although at times I see where they’re coming from. The theory that the universe has infinite dimensions and we are just a tiny dot on the plain I find very interesting. When you understand how small you are you are non-violent, non-important, more relaxed, less anxiety I feel. I like to think of myself as “small” rather than fake. Stare at the stars and ponder the vastness of the Universe. We could be a dream but I’d rather it be a good dream than a nightmare. The “chosen” part of your thoughts makes it sound like a delusion rather than something metaphysical. I’m no advanced metaphysical person. I am “the allegorist”…as my sun/moon sign combination says I am. Not the most scientific person in the world, although I tend to think about these things. Like “nothing really matters”. I think.
But I ask you, if nothing is real, then who’s to say you caught on to this? Maybe this illusion that you caught on to things is fake.
Idk just some blabbering thoughts by myself. Thanks.

That was my feeling, too. Now I realized it is a positive symptom.

hhhmmm the holographic principle…interesting isn’t it. it was one of my delusions years ago that we were living in some sort of programme. i like the theory personally though do not like the implications of it being true. if it is, it explains the big bang neatly as some sort of “boot up” like the program switching on. if it were to be true the who or what is god? a software engineer? it would take more that one being to run this reality so maybe more than one god? a collective? what is reality if this isn’t? what’s outside if we’re on the inside? who is a player and who is a sim? the questions are endless.
Thank you. Your response really helped me…

I think about this all the time. the whole “program” or “game” thing. it plagues me some days (like yesterday when I posted this) and other days I think to myself “well, if this is a game…I might as well live in it because it’s pretty cool.” it’s hard to separate myself from the thousands of questions that come about as well as the sense of impending doom once it starts though.
mine was just a way to get me to kill myself but thankfully it didn’t work…it was just a little too downpat for my liking. kill yourself coz you’re a player not a sim. i was supposed to end up on some sort of spaceship when i died in the game, that’s where i would wake up in a beautiful version of myself lol. obviously my belief in it wasn’t strong enough or i would’ve killed myself but the idea of a virtual reality stuck and then the theory went mainstream and when i heard about it, it seemed to fit. i’m not a physicist but when seriously educated folk are in agreement over this theory you have to sit up and take note i think. it used to plague me too…now i just ponder it. if it is a v.r you and i are obviously sims or we’d already know about it and would’ve been outside before so try not to get too worked up over it. for a sim this reality would be all there would be and whatever happens after death, for a player i’m guessing that death would be your exit from the hologram…hmmm who knows what is the better existence. life on the outside might be a disaster hence the need for this reality or we could be some lazy arsed teenagers i.t. project in school. guess we’ll never know huh. does your head in doesn’t it.

that’s interesting. I’d like to hear more about your spaceship/game thoughts. I used to think life and it’s entirety was all a dream, and that my dreams were reality, and the only way to transcend to my “dream world” was to delete myself out of my current world. it was overwhelming because literally NOTHING felt real…even my dreams were dreams. but anywho, I’m a physics fanatic and I find it hard to deny all the research that’s been done lately on holography. but like you said, maybe this existence is the better one, maybe there’s an even worse reality out there that we’re being shielded from. I just want to know who’s controlling me.
I didn’t hit reply. oops.
it’s 8.20am here. just trying to get my son ready for school. will give you my ponderings when i get back hun’. talk soon. jayne
Even if it was true. What are you going to do about it? Thinking about stuff like this is futile.
Just enjoy your life even if you think it’s a hologram simulation 
if thinking about stuff like this was futile aeroplanes would never have been invented nor space travel, not even the wheel. all science starts with imaginitive thinking. ok, so we’re not scientists but it doesn’t mean our musings are not worthwhile, all it means is, if it’s (this holographic principle) proven we are better prepared to deal with it when the announcement comes. there are two experiments that i know of that are aiming to prove it. one mathematical and the second to do with light. one already postulates the holographic principle, the second is ongoing and won’t be finished for about a year i think. if it is proven, it will go one of two ways. the churches will declare god a scientist and embrace and incorperate science in to their dogma and the second we will see cults like “heaven’s gate” spring up all over the world for people who want to know what’s outside the hologram. not that there’s any guarentee that you’ll get out just because you die. that’s what i think will happen…and of course there will be denyers.
it might well be a free will program hunni so no need to be controlled by anyone. this space ship in my delusion was a soul catcher, so when you died you just woke up in your next body or a clone and that was that. in this delusion you could have any body you wished, male or female. personally i preferred being female. and you could build your clone to look like you but with added or deleted characteristics or traits…like if you didn’t like your nose you could change it…just by programming your or rather your clone’s dna. the cloned bodies were adults and or children. even my kids had cloned bodies on this ship, though it never crossed my mind to kill them to find out. it was just not in my capacity as a mother to try and kill myself or my kids to find out the truth. there was this one guy running the whole thing who was basically just a fat version of my husband…(ridiculous i know) he would kill me now and again to stop me from succeeding professionally and keep me with him. the c.i.a would wipe my memory every time i got back into the system. basically i was just the battered wife of a software engineer that created the hologram that is earth and the universe. i prefered living in the programme away from him but he always found me with the help of the intelligence community. it’s so far fetched and ridiculous to me now but hey, that was one of my delusions anyway. great idea for a book though eh?
i guess it was only once i started critically thinking about it that it left me. it was clever but not quite clever enough. certain things just didn’t add up…like i was supposed to have performed brain surgery on loads of south africans to stop them raping children as my husband (god) the writer of the hologram program, was a peadophile and had programmed stuff like sexual abuse into the human genome so it would be perpetuated down the generations. so i operated on the worst offenders to rid them of the god spot as it is known as that becomes active when we pray to god, hence the name. yet when i thought of these operations there was no general anaesthetic, all the patients were awake and there’s me fiddling about in their brains with them sat up on a chair with all the flies buzzing around, fully awake!!! no infection, no hitting of other parts of the brain yet the god spot is quite deep within the brain. the surgical instruments i was using were massive and yet every op was a success??? i cured peadophilea…lol. it just got more and more far fetched as time went on to be honest. the details just didn’t add up for me and that kind of destroyed the whole thing. my husband was supposed to be this deranged sociopath murderer and yet to my knowledge, other than what i was seeing in my mind, he had never laid a finger on me. he was a gentle soul and yet i was supposed to believe in this horrific persona that was what he was supposedly really like, being the programmer (God) of the hologram.
I like your attitude of ‘I might as well live in it because it’s pretty cool’ 
I’m just wondering, if nothing is real, how do you even know what real means, are there examples of what is real available now, or only from the past? If literally nothing at all is real, there is no need for a distinction between real and unreal anymore. Issues like these call for a thorough understanding of what we even mean when talking about what is real or not. For instance, I think that what has reality is what can be shared, confirmed and recognized between different people. And we have methods for this, ordinary conversation, but also tests etc. I would be interested to know though, how are you coping practically in life, are you using practical objects like utensils for example like before or is there something like a moment of deliberation of what to do with these things because they are not real?

yes but those are more practical things to think about.
the main reason to not think about this obsessively is we have sz and are soooo easily sucsceptible to making those ideas coming to life. and that wouldnt be as fun as we may think.

i agree with both of you. when it takes over your life then it becomes a problem. if you’re standing there thinking the spatula you’re holding in your hand isn’t real and nor are the pancakes i’m supposed to be flipping to feed feed a body that is equally unreal then you’re in deep shite. i was in that stage years ago. now it’s more of a scientific pondering as opposed to a gripping delusion. now the way i perceive it is, if it is a hologram, and everything in it is a holographic and i too am holographic and i am a sim then this is my reality. if i were a player i would already know it so therefore i must be a sim so this is my reality and everything in it is real to me because i am made of the same stuff that everything else is made of. it’s easier to think of it that way i can carry on flipping real pancakes with my real spatula in my real body and all is good…curious…but good. does this make sense to you? x

it isn’t that easy…
i dont mean nothing is real in an objective sense. its all subjective, based on my personal feelings. its a perceptual issue. and i am coping practically in life as best i can, thank you for asking i do sometimes look at my pencil, for example, and think “what is this. what am i writing. are these my thoughts? is me writing this part of a dream, or a movie?” just convulted thoughts like that.
I didnt say it would be easy. It will take a lot of work for you to work through that. And it is ultimately up to you to continue in this way of thinking if you think it is benefiting you or to detach from it
