What would there be if there was nothing?

This is a very interesting topic, Alesma. What I suggest is that you start to investigate 'lucid dreaming'. Why do I suggest lucid dreaming? Because I and many other people have participated in it and when you are in that dream state, you almost achieve something on the order of what you described. www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com is a place where you can get a good foothold on lucid dreaming. Often, when I do it, it is when I wake up in the morning, and then fall back to sleep for a few hours, for me this is the best time. Lucid dreamers actually get to control and talk to characters in the dream. Why this is similar to your feelings, is that when I do lucid dreaming, I feel as if I am in a world populated by manikins. I have had many and many conversations that I have actually, consciously initiated in my dreams. and the imagery of those in the dream, responding are sometimes like a manikin. The only time it is not like that, is when the image represents a real life person. Only then, do they feel like a real flesh and blood person. But often, in dreams populated by images of people unknown to you, it is an eerie feeling of 'noghing'. How do I know I am lucid dreaming? Well for one thing, while in the dream, I may be walking down the street. I am aware of myself sleeping. On one occasion, I actually decided to stay in the dream when my body had to use the rest room. I kept on walking down this road, 'knowing' that my sleeping body had to use the rest room, but I decided to keep walking, as I liked the dream and wanted to see where it would take me. But yes, I've had many lucid dreams where I felt like I was wondering around in a world of absolutely 'nothing'

Hi Alesma, I used to get this really strange sensation when I was younger that I was not really here. It actually happens sometimes to me even now. The strange feel takes over my entire being. Its like I am not even here and I am weightless. The way that I explain it is that its like dissasociation for myself and for me that is VERY upsetting. No one likes to feel displaced from their self and there life.

A lot of scientists now believe that there isn't nothing in space. Rather than being empty, it is full. Even the space between atoms in our world is full of something. So the fear of nothing may actually be a real fear of something that has not been identified yet. Now that's creepy!

Even if there is nothing living, there is something. If you remove the worlds that we all live in, all the galaxies and simply destroy everything possible with a giant black hole, there will still be something. Though it may not be for the best like Darkness, it's still something. That's how I would think when everything has never existed. Sure, people could say that it's all gone, but that's simply something I could not tolerate. There will always be something in the universe, though it might not be something we imagined.
