The air gleams and warps in front of me, while the world around me melts into an indistinguishable medley of bright, sparkling light. It is a parallel realm, entirely different but eerily familiar. As far as my eyes can see, a vast cobblestone walkway weaves its way through the world. The atmospheric condition is promising, with the aroma of exotic spices and sweet summer fruits. My journey delves into the enigma of parallel universes, presenting the idea of the emotional depth, time travel, and uncharted territories of the multiverse.
As I begin my solitary journey, I experience a peculiar emotional depth sensation that every step closer to the unknown will bring me to a fate that I can never imagine. The situation is a perfect example of Vendrell’s (2018) contention that cognitive events bring emotional objects into the mind (p. 210). There is an unsettling silence throughout, almost stifling, with no birds chirping, and only the softest breezes whispering through the greenery. It is a world where I do not belong to anything, and anxiety pours through my bones like a shiver. However, any reservations I had were quickly forgotten in the presence of the mysterious promising society that I just landed in, realizing that I had the opportunity to live the luxurious life that I would ever desire.
Time travel is no longer a limiting factor, as the future in this parallel universe is incredibly promising. As Leister posits in his theory, one does not have to limit oneself to the past or future but can move between numerous parallel realities (Sterling, 2023, para. 8). For my debut, I begin to feel an increasing sense of accomplishment, and I realize the might and splendor of this parallel universe and the mysteries that its shadow had kept hidden from me. The further I travel, the more I know that I am a part of something bigger than myself, something that extends beyond the physical world into regions of pure fantasy and secret wisdom. It seemed as though an ancient power was awakening within me, a strength that would only grow greater with time.
Suddenly, I notice a faint light coming from a figure standing in the middle of a path. Surely, it is an affirmation of the multiverse theory, which proposes that the immense stretch of free space known as “The Universe” is not the only thing that exists, finding a copy of myself in an alternative world (Mayor, 2023, para. 2). It is my reflection from this other realm in a shape that I cannot imagine, and I realize that I am holding the mysteries of this serene nature and an undetermined future. Before I comprehend what is going on, I wake up and discover myself back in my respective reality with all of the understanding and wisdom of this bizarre existence completely integrated into my being.
The dream has given me an experience that I have never had on Earth. The manifestation of the emotional depth, time travel, and uncharted territories of the multiverse has made me feel like there is another world yet to be discovered. Therefore, my waking up has ended my journey within the parallel universe where my dreams could come true and where I could build the life that I always wanted.
