what would you do if this happened to you..

[SsilverR]

you're living out your average day when you suddenly hear voices saying things like "time to wake up now sweety " then everything goes blurry, your body becomes fuzzy and find yourself lying in a bed with a familiar woman smiling at you .. memories come flooding back and you realise that you're an eleven year old (if you're currently a guy then you're a girl and vice versa)

everything you've lived up until this point was a dream and you still have all the knowledge and memories from this dream ... how will you react

 

[bodyklok]

I can say in all honesty that I would just go 'meh'. And be glad for all the things that I've learned while asleep. Well maybe I didn't learn anything but I'd be glad for all the awesome games that I'd played.


Oh, and then I'd go and plagiarise all the stuff that I read/watched/played while asleep and become a millionaire.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Depends. What are my memories as an 11 year-old like?

 

[Major_Sam]

I think about this all the time. Another though I have often is that maybe you are actually insane but you don't know you are insane because of your insanity and you are living in a mental asylum but everything you do and see is made up in your head.

But back on topic, I wouldn't know what to do. Would your personality change? Your opinions on different things? I think I'll wait to see if it happens to decide because I couldn't imagine what I would do.

I'd go listen to some Linkin Park and Avril Leviegne, considering I'd be an 11 year old girl.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

"Huh. Well, crap. Now I gotta go through puberty again."

Such is my reaction to everything. Apathy, with a hint of irritation.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

I'd just let life go on as normal. Why would an age reduction and sex change do anything to my gaming schedule?

You have no idea how many times I've thought like this.

 

[megapenguinx]

I'd go "meh" and go back to living life. I'd be semi grateful I could re-do things over (and hopefully this time I can do them correctly). Although menstruation doesn't sound like something I would like to experience...

 

[Internet Kraken]

If I still had all my knowledge from this dream, then school would be a breeze.

But in all seriousness, I would probably have a mental breakdown realizing that a good portion of my life was nothing but a dream.

 

[Skeleon]

"Wow, what a weird and intricate dream."

As my real memories come back to me, my dreamt life'll probably fade away so...
Yeah, basically nothing.

If I get to keep all my memories, maybe I'd write a book using my dream as inspiration, though.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

"what the fuck? that was weird..."
*goes back to sleep*

 

[NotAPie]

It would be like this.
*speechless*
Me:...
Her:...
Flying Taco: wai harro thar!
Or It'd be like this.
Me: Oh god fucking damnit.

 

[King_Paco]

i'd just think of it as odd, but i'd prolly tell no one and continue my life as normal?

 

[Souplex]

Live my new life, it is not like I could do anything about it.

 

[Julianking93]

......uuuuuummmmmmmmm, what? That's pretty weird, so you're saying that I feel like I've lived an entire life time, but it turns out I'm just an 11 year old kid, lying in bed just waking up from a dream?

That sounds like a twist that M. Night Shamalan would use.

But, no, I don't know how I would react, the longest dream I had was when it felt like I had gone to school and gone back to bed and went through about 18 hours, only to wake up and find I had to do it all over again.

sounds more like pessimism to me lol

what alot of people would call average

but the question was based more on your initial reaction to knowing 90% of all you knew was a dream, you actually lived a life in your sleep ... having few variables won't effect that reaction much

A few variables? 11 years of life is shorter than my current 23, but it's still a really long time. Would I be able to reconcile my current beliefs with my new (old) home and self? Would the things I currently enjoy still exist? Would I actually have friends? Where would I wake up, and would things remain as I remembered them in the places I (dream I've) been to?

EDIT - Then again, I am kind of used to overthinking situations like this. I remember someone giving a scenario where you gain objects that read your intentions, make you effectively immortal, and are able to kill or destroy anything for you. I answered truthfully that I'd live out my natural lifespan at the bottom of the ocean, due to a complete mental breakdown and paranoia over my own power.

 

[SsilverR]

**sigh** i'm not recreate 11 years so how about this .... it's all your life at 11 ... but you're a girl ... instead of action men you had barbies .. just go with that for now

I used to think about that so often.
I even took it a step further - what if I'm not real and you are, and I'm just made up in your head. Am I real? Are the people I care about real?
