What if we’re “Glitching” ourselves into a new branch of reality?

I’ve been having very strong, vivid dreams and nightmares. It’s very rare for me to have these, and I have a feeling there may be an explanation why we’re experiencing these dreams and nightmares. It’s as if we are experiencing different branches of reality while we’re asleep or awake. It’s as if we’re experiencing different “versions” of ourselves. I’ve had very distinct experiences in dreams that truly feel like “branches” of alternate realities. What if we’re all slowly glitching and visiting alternate realities and then coming back to our normal one? It’s as if we are “branching out” in reality, almost like “alt shift f4” on the computer to switch between applications. Any thoughts on this?
