I wonder if there even is such a thing as “eternal consciousness” the way people assume.

It’s rare for me to remember -aspects of my daily life in dreams.

I would think being dead would be a significant hinderance.

I have a fondness for the idea that the brain is like a radio reciever for a greater flow of the universe. Thus brain damage is like a broken antenna. The radio can die but the signal continues.

That said, we do then to attribute a lot of thinking to the technology of the time. Buddhists had their wheel of time, folks today think we live in a computer simulation. Things like that, so best not to take the idea too seriously.

Remember, life is too important to take seriously.

since I have dreams in which I am not in the dream https://medium.com/luminasticity/the-i-g-dream-log-5c3e5de92... it would actually be weird if I remembered aspects of my daily life in those dreams.
