A recent grad from Hollywood Upstairs Medical College
I’m finishing up my lunch in a quiet restaurant. The table across from me is man is eating lunch with two women. They are engaged in a passionate debate… or, at least he is. He is insisting to the two skeptical-looking women that if “you die in your dreams, you die in real life.” Dude is insisting it is a 100% true scientific reality. The women are being polite, “I think that’s just an urban legend” but he is absolutely not having it. If you dream your death, your body is convinced and just totally shuts off and you immediately die. A medical fact, he says.
He has the kind of confidence about this information that I feel like even if someone whipped out their phone and googled this for him, he’d just be convinced the whole internet was wrong instead of himself.
I almost regret leaving before seeing how that battle concluded.
