I once had a dream where I jumped into an abyss. I felt the sheer terror of leaving everything, loved ones and life, behind. I knew I was going to be annihilated. And I was. I fell into that abyss, watched it cover me. Then next thing I know I wake up in bed. Death is real, it just has no 'substance'.

Kinda like anti-matter. Not life, but anti-life.
