Sounds crazy, if you're a Witness, right?
Suppose there is some sort of afterlife and it's a dream state! Everybody gets what they want: Jesus and pearly gates, 72 virgins, Aztecs removing hearts with obsidian knives, you name it. Some jihadists report that their departed friends meet them in dreams and encorage them to martyr themselves. I want the Pure Land of Buddhism because hot babes like Tera Patrick might be there...... oh yeah, and enlightenment, too. Born agains can hang out with Tertullian and watch sinner philosophers roast next door in hell. Some Hindus get stuck in a reported bureaucratic office, waiting to get processed for eternity. Not much of near death experience.

I read about a weird seance in which a departed lady claimed to be living on the planet Marduk with William James. Somebody must have read Riverworld.. Dude, in a simulacrum, it's like the Matrix. All outcomes are 'real'.
