When we fall asleep, where do we go?

Today's story explores this very idea while confronting a concept that may leave you questioning what is real.

Welcome back to the Camp Fire Task Force.

Pull up a log, settle in, grab your canteen because it's 3 a.m. somewhere, which means it's time for

red web scary stories, the series where I, Trevor Collins, share my favorite terrifying tales

from the internet with my friend Alfredo Diaz. Oh, this actually strikes one of the biggest

fear that I have. Really? Personally, yeah. Which is you go to sleep.

Sometimes you dream.

There's moments where you have those deep sleeps.

You wake up and time has just passed and there's been nothing in between, right?

Oh yeah.

And that feeling of nothingness, it's like what if that is what's waiting for us after death?

It's just nothingness.

No conscious, no thought, no anything.

It's just complete non-existence.

Dude, that's rattled my little brain since I was a child, you know?

I know, man.

What is it to feel, see, hear, taste, take all your five senses, maybe six senses if you're fredo, and remove them all. What is that? If you can't perceive time, you can't even perceive nothing. Right. You just zip through time. So what is, do you just blip to the end of existence and then what? Oh, God. Yeah, it's

complete nothing forever for infinity. Like, that's it, man. Like, yeah. No even thought or anything.

No thought of non-existence, no feeling. Nothing at all. Well, maybe, maybe the universe is just alive and our energies become one once again with this mega energy that is the universe.

And we are no longer a piece of the universe conscious of itself, but instead part of a greater hole.

And there is peace and warmth in that, I don't know.
