I have bad dreams fairly regularly, but they usually center around small issues; most often I dream about accidentally neglecting/forgetting about new pets, being back in high school, or interpersonal relationships falling apart. Small stuff that's easy enough to get over when I wake up.

Last night, I dreamed about the end of the world. It felt incredibly real. I remember turning on the radio and hearing about the ISS falling to Earth, politicians addressing the people and encouraging us to help one another survive, and many reports of extreme snow all over the world. I live in the southern U.S. where it never snows. I think I've only seen snow maybe four or five times in my 25 years of life, but in this dream, everything was covered in a thick blanket of sparkling white. It was beautiful and terrifying.

I remember sitting at my window, watching the snowflakes fall, thinking about how much I never got to do. I struggle a lot with socializing, and I only have a few friends. I never go out or go on dates or anything like that. And I remember in this dream, I felt a profound sense of regret for never having done any of the things little me had always hoped to do, like planting a garden, falling in love, buying my own house, etc.

That regret carried over to reality when I woke up. I have never felt like this before. I've always been content with the way I live. I know I'm introverted and don't have a very exciting or interesting life, but I've always preferred it that way. Now, though, I feel like I would have many regrets if I were to die anytime soon.

I think I've always felt like I'll get around to all that stuff later in life. Like it'll all just happen to me eventually, even if I don't chase it. This dream, I think, made me realize that I've just been keeping myself in a small, safe bubble, and I've been missing out on potentially amazing life experiences because of it.

I don't know why I'm posting this, it just felt important to me. I don't think a dream has ever affected me this strongly. I kind of feel like a new person. Has anyone else ever had a similar experience with their dreams?

Hello

I've been searching for the truth about this world for years.

Atheism: I'll admit that the atheist side doesn't suit me much because it’s purely material, even if it’s a truth that wouldn’t bother me in itself.

Spirituality: Currently, I’m more on the spiritual side. Everything regarding frequencies, vibrations, and manifestation, I don’t really believe in. I find it strange to want to link spirituality to "quantum science", the concepts of vibration and frequency mean nothing in this field.

What I’m looking for:

I’m looking for a real spirituality that is concrete. Something that has a real physical, metaphysical, even paranormal and mental impact. I don’t want to waste 10 or 20 years of my life for nothing.

Have you found any knowledge or practices that aren't mocking the world and that offer a real experience?
