What is it like to be dead?

I am wondering what it is like to be a ghost or to experience reality without a physical body like the people who have died or live in haunted houses. Some people describe it as relaxing and other people say it’s scary or unfulfilling if they did not accomplish things they wanted. If you guys have ever died or are currently dead, what is your experience?

Wow, i just wonder, but i think just respawn would be better than becoming a ghost waiting for revive

That would be interesting. I imagine that if humans respawned after death it would feel like being knocked out with some people having amnesia or dreams between, unless it was so instant that there would be no experience between.

We don’t call it respawn now, we call it reincarnation

Mostly waking up in ICU wishing it did work this time.

Mostly blackness. In my experience 2 types: one that is some sort of magical teleportation with no memory whatsoever.

There was also a time where I remember time moving forward and “knowing” I was in blackness. Cant call it consciencent but it is something else.

When you die, you just wake up in a parallel universe where you’re still alive. Being dead is like still being alive.

Literally no one alive can tell you because there is no sensory input when you’re dead. Hence the being dead part.

But if you want to try to imagine what it will be like, the commenter who stated imagining what it was like pre-conception/birth…that’s about as accurate as is possible to describe.

I anticipate nothingness — and I’m reminded of what Mark Twain said about fearing death.

Just the same as didn’t born.

I have a friend who used to drink too much water. This eventually lead to him having dangerously low sodium levels but he didn’t know that. One day, he knew something was wrong and was yelling to his landlady next door to get help. He passed out outside of his apartment. Then he was in a coma for 4 days.

I asked him what the coma was like. He said he remembered having a vague sense of panic like he was still trying to get his landlady. He doesn’t remember, but when he first woke up, he was screaming her name and fighting the nurses.

Have you ever gone under general anaesthesia? The kind where you are up and talking one second, and then, ten hours later, you wake up somewhere else entirely? You know that space in-between, where there was nothing at all?

It’s about like that, except that you never wake up.

Your consciousness is inextricably entwined with your physical existence. Everything about you that makes you you is contained in your brain. When your brain chemistry is changed–by drugs, disease, or injury–who you are changes as well. When your brain dies, when it ceases to function, you cease to exist. There is no evidence that there is some supernatural force that inhabits your body and brain, but on the contrary, there is plenty of evidence that you are your body and brain.

The only people who know for sure can’t tell us

Can’t be that bad. I don’t hear them complaining.

Depends where you leave your body.

Payments have to keep being made sometimes.

If you recall how you felt before your birth, it feels exactly the same as that.

I feel that I have a vague idea about what that was like but I wish it was possible to have pictures or videos from that time so people can have a clear idea.

Knuschberkeks ,

Ask your parents, they probably have som photos of the time before your birth.

I’m currently suffering in a state of half constipation, half diarrhea. I imagine it’s something like that.

CharmingOwl OP ,
@CharmingOwl@lemmy.ml avatar

That sounds very unpleasant, but I think due to rigor mortis and the gas that a corpse produces some ghosts may feel bloated or stiff if they are still connected to their old bodies. It probably feels like constipation all over their body.

Eol ,

Some say it feels like a constipated monkey between a rock and hard place.

CharmingOwl OP ,
@CharmingOwl@lemmy.ml avatar

That seems surreal because bananas have so much fiber. I guess the experience is just beyond what we would expect.

Alienator ,

How does that even work? Can’t you make them fight each other to cure yourself?

I can’t shit most of the time. When I can it is a flood of liquid. I’ve been like this for a couple of weeks now.

If you’ve ever tried DMT, that’s what heaven is like.

Hell is basically a speedball gone wrong.

Idk man I’m convinced hell isn’t definable and doesn’t exist. Defies logic

Hey currently dead ghost here. I LOVE not having a body or caring about physical reality. The reason most ghosts don’t chill here is that there’s a huuuge universe of fun stuff out there and you could hang out with other ghosts. It’s like playing a video game with all cheats on & unlimited resources. So I understand why ppl sign up for Earth when they want some more … restrictions. It’s like playing on hardcore mode

Anyway, gonna go watch some ppl fuck, hit me up on the ouija board if you have any more questions

SynopsisTantilize ,

Yep can confirm. Entire gas giant made up entirely of weed smoke? Yep. We found it. An entire moon shaped exactly like Sidney Sweeneys tits, it’s out there. Earth is boring. The universe is bomb.

So one of my mother’s friends very briefly died from COVID-19. According to her, being dead was peaceful, basically just nothingness, and she was slightly miffed that they brought her back.
