About death and nothingness thereafter...

I've always wondered, and I mean really wondered, what it would be like after death. I try and imagine a world of nothingness. Where everything is just nothing. But it's just impossible. I mean, I can think of limitless dark black space, but that is still something. I find it impossible to imagine nothing.

All this is based on the assumption that after we die, there is nothing. And I pray to God that there is nothing, cause while the thought of heaven is inviting, the risk is too much to take. I mean, eternity in hell, that's quite a gamble. I just hope for nothingness.

Anyway, in my quest for the ultimate nothingness, I did sort of have a flash of revelation the other day of which I took some time to ponder. It's the dream world. I woke up from a dream, and that dream ceased to exist (like always eh!). There was nothing after that. And that consciousness had ended. That entire script including all the characters had in a flash, vanished. And I can't help but see a lot of similarities in the dream world and the real world. And if our life is going to end the same way as my dream ended.

Speaking of which, I hope that the dream hasn't ended and "Milind in the dream" does manage to score with Priyanka Chopra... and they live happily ever after...
