Imagine this happening...

[equerio 6,153]

Imagine this:

Every time you go to sleep, you get to wake up in Equestria. The day in Equestria begins at night, when you go to sleep. Then, as you wake up IRL, you go to sleep in Equestria. Every time you go to sleep IRL, the "plot" continues where it left off, by you waking up in Equestria the next day. You get the point how this would work, right?

I know, there are A LOT of topics like this, you say, right?

BUT, there is one thing.

You'll have to give up on one bad habit. For good. And by bad habit, I don't mean something like "meh, I won't be using that much dishwasher while doing the dishes". No. I mean, a REALLY bad habit. Something you consider to be a "dark spot" of your life. And if you do it again (once is enough), you'll be banned from Equestria forever.

So how do you think this would work? Would you give up your bad habit? And, if you would, what would that habit be (not neccesarily, I respect it, if you want it to be kept in privacy)?

Nah, I like my life here on earth. Having two would be way too confusing for me to keep track of, I'd always mix them up! So I'll stick to my human life and keep my vice! 

[ukxRainbowdash 165]

I would love this to happen!

Two lives would be great! I'm getting a little bored of the one I own now.

The bad habit I'd give up would be the way I forget stuff so easily, (doesn't sound like a habit but it is) my parents always tell me to do something, I'll forget by the time I get upstairs.

[equerio 6,153]

Maybe some unicorn magic from Equestria would help you to fix that

Yeah, I agree. 2 lives are awesome. Especially when the 2nd one is in the land of ponies

[SharpWit 2,472]

I would give finding out what people would do for a Klondike bar

[Azura 1,107]

Hehe.. I'm not sure if you did that on purpose, but there's a R34 game reference in your post.

 

Anyway, back on topic. I think it's a great idea and maybe one day in the future, we'll be able to turn that into a reality.

[equerio 6,153]

@SharpWit

ahahahahahahaha, you made me laugh really hard

@Azura

Yeah, I could probably see what you're hinting to, but no, it wasn't on purpose. I never even got the guts to read/watch mlp r34

[NotInUse 64]

If that happened, what would happen? Would you just disappear from one world and appear in another and the next day appear in the world you disappeared and disappear in the world you appeared? Mind-blown 

[equerio 6,153]

Well, your body and your body functions will remain during the night, but your sould would be in the other world

[AlicornAcolyte 254]

What happens if you're woken up during the night?

[Deesinn 393]

Fuck this is too easy, quitting smoking would be worth it.  Deal, done, BAM, doors shut.  I could even do this while being blithering fool drunk after a large meal. 

[equerio 6,153]

You would pass out in the other world for the time you're awake

@Deesinn

hahahaha, that would make a great anti-smoking commercial

[AlicornAcolyte 254]

Another one:

 

Suppose you work the night shift at your job, and you sleep during the day. Would you then spend the night in Equestria?

[equerio 6,153]

Well, yes, because day and night are reversed IRL and in Equestria.

Night owl IRL, night owl in Equestria

[Deae Rising Shine~ 52,453]

Awesome! Hmm...bad habit

Really hard for a guy, who is normally friendly and helpful...but I think, I would give up my bad luck XD

Okay, seriously...uhm...I don't smoke....never drunk alcohol....never done any **** so the cops have to catch me...I think I would give up, to eat too much...I really like eating....but for this, I would give up I think...or trying to stop get angry by little jokes...yeah, probably I will give up this. Equestria, here I come this night!

[Andaasonsan 3,205]

So it would be like Awake, only not depressing?

But anyway, from reading this thread it's clear you guys don't know how to have a proper existential crisis. It's simple: from your perspective it is impossible to tell which is the dream world and which is the real world. If you ask anybody (or pony)  on either side what you were doing while you were away they'd just tell you that you had been sleeping the whole time.

 

There is no "what happens to my body" because it's just simply not possible to know what's real and what's not.

[equerio 6,153]

It's important that it's a bad habit you REALLY think you should get rid of

[AlicornAcolyte 254]

Well, yes, because day and night are reversed IRL and in Equestria.

Night owl IRL, night owl in Equestria

 

Would it be worth it to spend just the night there? Unless you're in a major city, there wouldn't be very many people to talk to.

[Zhortac 1,473]

I wouldn't have to find a bad habit. First time I let Celestia know what I think of her, I'm gone.

[equerio 6,153]

@Andaasonsan

There would be no existential crisis, because both worlds would be real. There would be no dream. And I'm pretty sure you can recognise humans from ponies

I haven't watched the series, BTW

@OmniaVincitEquorum

Well, I'm pretty sure you won't be doing night shift for your entire life, right?

@Zhortac

Why would you do that?

[Andaasonsan 3,205]

@Andaasonsan

There would be no existential crisis, because both worlds would be real. There would be no dream. And I'm pretty sure you can recognise humans from ponies

See that's the beauty of it: there's no way to know for certain that one or both or none of the worlds are dreams. OOOooooOOOOoooOOOOooooo

 

To paraphrase Lao Tzu: Am I a human dreaming of being a pony, or a pony dreaming of being a human?

[equerio 6,153]

@Andaasonsan

WELL DAMN IT

Just let's say you know that your life is real, 'cause you've been living it for a while now, at it's the most realistic thing you ever experienced, and you know Equestria is real because you know these rules.

AND YOU HAVE A STICKY NOTE IN YOUR ROOMS SAYING THIS IS REAL, AND THE OTHER WORLD IS REAL.

That would do the trick

[Deae Rising Shine~ 52,453]

Me in Real life after wake up: That was so awesome!

Me in Equestria after wake up: What the hay is this other world?!

 

I'm confused XD

[AlicornAcolyte 254]

I love hashing out the particulars.

 

Who enforces the rule? Is there a written contract?

[equerio 6,153]

@OmniaVincitEquorum

There is no written contact.

You would get some kind of a vision of Equestria, and you would telepatically (I'm not sure if I spellep that correctly) get all the rules.
