@StanD   i also believe that we are thoughts of a greater being.  that there are multiverses and that when we die we have the choice to return or remain in a spiritual form on some other plain.  i am not religious but spiritual.  what are your thoughts?  i have had many "dreams"  when someone close has died who come and say goodbye.  i have also experienced seeing "ghosts" so i believe life is a complicated of of reality in different forms.
