  I sometimes wonder what it’s be like to be a dog or cat when I see them.

  I’ve definitely planned out what to do with large lotto wins I will never have. Looked at moving overseas or interstate. I’ve considered moving into a unit right in the centre of Melbourne so I can enjoy all the activities there, or moving to a big block of land in the middle of nowhere and fixing up a rundown place.

  I think it is a healthy thing to do, as long as you are not doing it with rose-coloured glasses and making yourself unhappy with your current circumstances. If you are doing it realistically it often ends up highlighting things that are important to you - things you would miss if you made different choices, and sometimes things you really want that you are actually able to do now.

    I do the lottery thing regularly. I don’t resent my current life, but love to imagine what it would be like to not worry about bills and just live life.

    Personally I’d have a place in like Daylesford or similar. Trees, pond, dogs, fireplace etc.

    Doing nothing would be blissful.

  I always thought dreams were my alternate lives in the multiverse. That’s how I look at it anyway

    Frickin hope not. Cause my alternate selves die a ton and also have a bunch of orgasmless sex.

      Apparently my alternate selves have a pretty sweet deal. But one of them hangs out with Donald Trump, so fuck that guy lol

  I sometimes find my daydreaming self inserting myself into works of fiction - such a Sherlock Holmes, the Vorkosiverse etc. Probably a symptom of deep psychosis.

    I am OFTEN on the bridge of a warship protecting the earth. Usually heroically telling the crew to abandon ship as I fight impossible odds bravely sacrificing myself.

    Good to know its not just me.

      That’s so cool - what’s your battle soundtrack?!

      • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Usually just a bunch of alarms, explosions ect. Despite the lack of sound in space it sure is a loud experience. I’m CONVINCED its linked to my anxiety cause I dissociate hard.

  Looking at houses I can’t afford (and judge them harshly) is a real one. Also, I was deeply fantasising about moving to NYC when I travelled there a couple of years back, asking people I met there about their experience in moving, even though I knew deep down I’d never do it. It’s nice to dream!

  I’d be surprised if anyone doesn’t occasionally entertain alternative lives. Very Sliding Doors.

  Pretty sure we’ve all wondered where we might be if we’d picked different doors.

    I creep myself out when I go too far down that path. All of the things that have happened to me worked together to make me who I am, and at a certain point in my musings I realise that by changeing the things that happened to me I am effectively erasing myself from existance entirely.

      I sometimes do too.
