All I want is to be someone different
I just want to experience it, I don't want to be me anymore
>can't lucid dream
>virtual reality will never be good enough in our lifetime
>can't upload consciousness into a computer
>can't download consciousness into a robot body
>can't kill myself and reroll my character
Does anyone else have this desire? I don't have any goals in my own life, I'm a lost cause I just want to try again or be someone else entirely

I don't really want to be anyone else so much as I just don't want to be anyone, personally. I was never happier than before I'd developed a coherent sense of self, when my head had no inner monologue and just a series of free floating, dissociated thoughts. If I could become a ghost and just wander the earth observing without interacting and without an identity, I would be sorely tempted.
Yeah I just really wish I was someone else I've always wished I'd have a genie so I could change myself into a better personality version of me that I could be happy with even to be born rich would solve 70% of my problems or even as a girl

I have the opposite problem, it's not better on the other side senpai
>can lucid dream, but takes too much effort
>while VR isn't a thing, I can vividly imagine anything I want to in a daydream and live it, but it just makes me incredibky sad when I think about reality
>Can roleplay in garbage MMOs, but no matter what even if full mind uploading and VR existed, the world would still suck as normalfags would upload thousands of clones
>If we could upload conciousness into robot bodies, I'd get hacked by a normalfag
>Can kill myself, but every time I am just about to, life gives me just enough reason to live.
Life is a prison, and escapism will not work.
Sorry to be depressing, but there is no escape.

Been there, tried that. I've experienced states of no identity, and it feels like a prison, except now you are nothing in an endless sea of nothing, doing nothing with your purpose being nothing - but you still feel sad.
If I could wish for one thing, it would be no emotions.
The only way would be a complete mind wipe.

I try not to have that feel because if you can't bee yourself you are just going to hate living. Try this guide for lucid dreaming:

Yeah I know this feel. i'm a completely lost cause I wish I could start over as someone else.

I studied lucid dreaming for about 4 months, and spent 3 months with dream journals. I did succeed lucid dreaming, and was able to keep lucidity for a few minutes at a time before waking up - flying like superman, and being able to defeat monsters in a reccuring dream I had was so rewarding. But eventually the effort of dream journals and sleep timing got too much, and I stopped.
Would highly reccomend as an experience, but be aware you need dedication.

Addition to my post: I used the DILD method, linked here for lucid dreaming. Other methods may be easier, and some people have it easier than others.
