Is it normal before sleeping i can conceptualize my death?

Before I fall asleep completely. I think about death and how it is after death. I mean I do it awake during the day but it really hits me before I fall asleep. Like I will go back into the nothingness of darkness and that is it. There is nothing after death just absence of knowledge and being. I hate falling asleep because it is a deep realization that I will come close to death with in a couple of thousand days. Does anyone have nasty realizations in general before falling asleep? Of course I mean I am an atheist and I don't believe in any type of afterlife. Trust me. I wish there was a way into believe about an afterlife for me. A way that I can become willfully ignorant about the universe and not quantify it with numbers and scientific data.

      I guess i hate life. I am poor in California. im 18. but i have a wonderful blonde girlfriend with flexibility like a cat. I got a job that pays 40 thousand and go to college full time. and im about to win a lawsuit and buy myself two super cars right after. I still hate myself because i dislike being actually smart than most people.

      sorry if incoherent with my texts. Its 2 am. Im tired and lazy. As well Im fluent in 4 languages. So it gets tricky.

    Try to numb up to it. That's what I did. Not sure if that means acceptance though. I suppose it could be called that.

    Have you ever heard about how we only use about 10% of our brains? So, our potential is great. We are like computers that have the hardware but not the drivers! (It's a lot easier to only need a driver than to lack the hardware) so, YOU have the potential do meditate and find the wisdom of the universe. Like when u tell yourself before going to sleep u need to wake up at a certain time. You do! Just practice telling yourself what u want to know.

      That is a myth that was debunked a long time ago. We might use about 10% for any given task, but we do use all of our brain.

      actually our brain is mainly active 100% like a car turned on and having the option to go sport mode. Your brain responds to everything and takes info here and there. But when you sleep your brain goes to turbo and starts doing more work. We use all of our brain. Just not in overdrive. But you are actually right about my sleeping pattern. I can wake up when i need too without alarms. It is like an adrenline shot into my heart when i remind myself when to wake up before sleeping. But i highly doubt i can reach the knowledge of the universe. But i have been able from time to time to have radical ideas about how time and spaces work. Like what if because there isn't much anti matter in the universe as there should be. That before our matter was created two different types of substances meshed together to create our matter and our laws of physic... only problem is i dont have high enough math skills to put such thought into a test.

        the human brain has a capacity to do things like telekinesis, psychic endeavors, levetation, astral projection, and the list goes on and on. Don't tell me that ya'll are using 100%.

          you [insert insult here] We are always using 100% of our brain to survive. Anyone under 100% has cancer, or physical brain damage from obstruction of neurons, blood flow, or even just hitting your head. All that you have mention is untrue and nothing can substantially hold your claims. All that is charlatans and wishful thinking about life after death.

              Until someone can produce a psychic that is privy to specific and useful information we might as well leave them out of this.

    Well if you're open to it you can take religious studies classes at a college and learn about different religions. Maybe you will find something that you can connect with. Either way you shouldn't be scared because you're either going to a heaven (if you're a "good person") or you become nothing. And if you become nothing you have no conscious thought so you wont even know your dead so it wouldn't be scary.

      It's a fear of just not knowing what does happen after death. It hurts not knowing. Like the pain of not knowing if your being cheated on by your partner. But yeah i guess i still fear being immobile and unconscious.
