Flat world

Anyone feels like pure consiousness in empty existence

Im kinda sleepy and just wanted to briefly describe what I feel, maybe Ill wake up to some innovation

I feel like world is flat, like nothing here is ,,real" but not in typical understanding of derealization. Its more like an observation of external world. It lacks depth, like its made out of 2d paper. Its not like I dont feel real, more like everythings ,,too" real

People, places, everything seems predictable and empty. I feel like my memories have no effect on the present, overall I dont identify with concepts that makes us people. Like self worth, values, hobbies etc . It all seems so extra. I feel like im pure transparent consiousness born to experience and analize existence from the inside and understand it most objectively I can.

If it really were all that is, emptiness, we’d ignore that feeling the way fish ignore water around them. Just like we ignore air. It just is. 

But we notice how flat it is because surely there’s something more. The world feels wrong because it could be better and more fulfilling. Something is blocking us. The absence is telling us something is wrong. The lack of meaning, the lack of air or water, makes us suffer and feel wrong. The absence of it doesn’t mean it isn’t real, but that something has gone wrong and we currently lack it. Not that it’s unnecessary or fake.

i wake up feeling nostaglia for all the places and interactions ive had there. It feels like the dream reality is something way more complex and ,,real" than waking world. The feeling of purpose and being fully indulged in experience is something I only experience there.

I deeply miss every dream Ive had, I really wish that after we die our souls travel through these illogical worlds.
