This is actually something I have thought about in regard to the possibilities of our reality, similar to simulation theory (if we ever end up being capable of simulating a world like ours on a computer, we could theoretically be one of the simulations)
If we are ever capable of essentially creating VR lifetimes that are indistinguishable from reality, couldn’t our consciousness simply be just that? I have no idea how plausible it is, but it’s definitely a fascinating thing to wonder about.
