When I was a kid thoughts of who am I and what is my purpose was always going through my head.
As an adult the questioning seems to come with answers.
Knowing there are other realms of realities suggest there is more than this reality and everything is a- ok.

If it is not real does it really matter?
even if you and I are in the same physical space and are witness to an event both of us have a different realization (experience) for a myriad of reasons like our opinions, background, upbringing and mood.
We are souls having an a Human Experience.
Fahey: Where are we in the process of expanding our horizons? What do you see as the next wave, or the current wave?
Leary: By "we," I assume you mean the human race; which always means individuals. The use of multimedia electronic software--CDROM discs, audiovisual disks--will put into the hands of every Third World kid, every inner-city kid in America the ability to boot up, activate, turn on their right brain, to reprogram their left brain. The use of electrons for brain-change and for brain-#ing and brain-reprogramming has been perfected in the form of the television commercial. And I totally admire a thousand years of the Catholic Church, using jewels, organs, rose windows and that sort of stuff to, uhh [pause]. What we're understanding now is that the human brain is a photovore. That means that the human brain lives on light.

Perhaps you have become aware of the "now" that you exist, that everything isn't real, meaningless.

I awoke one day last week and felt the same. I had just been having some strange dreams though but I got an overwhelming feeling of surrealness. If such a word exists.

If its real.... it matters. Literally speaking.

I still claim that the premise of a god is absurd, but as a seeker of truth I have to concede this point:
There have been moments in my life (they're actually microseconds, and one of these moments happened last night) when I've been hit with the sudden realization that this isn't real. In that blink of an eye I am hit with the fact that I am not real. The house I live in is not real. The planet, and the whole universe isn't real.
I equate it to a character trapped in a movie suddenly becomes aware that the movie isn't real. He feels compelled to continue on with the dialogue and the actions, but with a nagging sense that it's all for nothing.
I am not made privy to any curtain opening and revealing another realm behind it. I don't feel a hidden purpose or sense a deeper meaning to this life. It simply feels like we could all suddenly vanish and it wouldn't make one bit of difference to anyone anywhere.
For what it's worth, feel free to post your thoughts on this.

Your op really struck a chord with me. Suddenly I feel EXACTLY the same. Mostly for the past 3 days to a week. It's like I'm super lost and need to find direction, but at the same time I feel like everything is fake. My dreams almost feel more real. It's so odd. I've been experiencing headaches for the last week too.
