I think that would be cool, but bear in mind that impacting another Worldline would be disruptive for the other you and their relationships. People could also use this as an excuse to why they mess up. Hey, it was me from another dimension!

I believe it would be an interesting experience to be able to juggle between two worlds. I personally would love to mantain two personalities and enjoy the flow that comes with both worlds. However, I think it might be confusing having to sleep and be in a different world and wake to another because one would never know which is the reality.

If there really is a way to do this without complications, I would. For the fun of it, I would. I believe it would be thrilling to see how different 'me' is coping with life.
There is no point in trying to please a person who doesn't apreciate me. Besides, why do I have to try and please anyone in the first place?

Thinking about it, I would like to visit those other worldlines just to feed my curiosity. After this is done return to my usual self. Meaning Iam content with the real or normal me than being anyone else. Though life's rough sometimes in this worldline due to my financial status, I've learnt to appreciate every experience I go through as experience is the best teacher.

Surely, it would have repercussions but then, there is no harm in partaking in such adventure. But then, I don't think I am up for swapping with my other self

This is a good and exciting concept for a movie. If lucid dreaming, as portrayed in the book, could actually take place I think less people would be stressed out. You could temporarily live in another worldline while you have no worries. That would be amazing

It would definitely be interesting to see myself in other world lines where I made different choices. However, I would just want to visit, not switch places. Star Trek played with this idea several times when characters transported to a darker version of their universe. They called them crossover episodes I think.

That would be a very difficult subject to deal with. But, if we really had this kind of system, the context I lived in would define where I would want to go.

I doubt this is scientifically possible, but I wouldn't switch my worldline even if given a chance. I believe I was given my own set of problems to deal with for a reason, and I wouldn't switch them for anyone else's.

I would like to think that I wouldn’t do anything differently, but I probably would. It is intriguing to think that anything can, and is, happening at any time in any place. I like my life to be a surprise and if I could just choose my favorite “worldline” wouldn’t I keep that from happening?

I mean with technology we already have the capability of doing this in theory. We have virtual reality where we can be completely somewhere else. We live online in social media in a world that doesn’t really exist. Our minds find escapes daily, through movies, music, books, etc. No doubt what you’re talking about is different. But still, we’re also doing this daily whether we realize it or not.

I like to think about what some characters in the book said regarding the possibility of worldlines. I believe some of Layton's colleagues disliked the idea of the multiverse theory because they felt it would take away the significance of their lives. I didn't completely agree with this notion, but I think I agree with the concept that it's your decisions who make you who you are. If I was transported to other worldlines, my life would be a result of someone else's actions, someone else's morals and personality. I mean, interdimensional travel sounds pretty scary already, but I also feel like I wouldn't be able to shake the imposter syndrome from getting to benefit from another person's decisions. I think I'd probably go crazy with guilt before I even did anything important :oops:

If that was to be possibly, I for one would find it particularly alluring. Armed with knowledge to enable me make informed decisions I think a great outcome for me will be guaranteed.

Yeah, that's exactly right. It might mean crimes in a new dimension. Protocols that are as mind blowing as the theory it self. In short, it might very much increase crime rate. A new kind of crime rate.

:) Lucid dreams could be a very exciting thing, I think for people who love exploration in not only the psychological arena but also that which translates into real-life through the exchange of worldlines. Sounds like a thing that can only happen in a movie. For me, I would not exchange. Better I search for the success path the best way I know-how. :)
