    When I immediately go back to sleep on my mornings off, I pretty much always see some weird shit. Not strictly of a religious bent, that’s not really my thing, but most recently things like overgrown highways and cars that have gone extinct. I guess you could kind of call that a “land of the dead.”

      Interesting. Very interesting.

      I’m not religious at all. But ya, seeing this stuff certainly does evoke some religious ideas.

      The creator. It’s creating the universe. Basically a big star-jewel that emits “poetry energy”. No intelligence tho. No personality. Just a big shining thing. No judgment or christian vibes.

      And the land of the dead. Underground. Stone buildings. Lit by colored lamps. Eternal low-key party. Chill music. Spacey people hanging out, talking about their former lives and stuff. Occasional (nonconfrontational) demon.

      I have a theory about why there’s a “land of the dead”. I think I (my “soul”) carries around a translator with it. That translates any experience into “time, space, things, people, light, dark”. A human-style-experience metaphorizer.
