The Yash- Swap Hypothesis: Consciousness Exchange in the Sleeping Multiverse Author: Yash More, Class 11 Biology Student, India Abstract: This document explores a hypothesis connecting human consciousness, dream states, and the multiverse. It proposes that consciousness may temporarily detach during sleep and interact with alternate universe versions of the self, potentially explaining vivid dreams, déjà vu, and memory anomalies 1. Introduction Human consciousness remains one of the most profound unsolved scientific questions. While the brain functions as a biological processor of sensory input, the origin, nature, and mechanism of consciousness remain largely unknown. Theoretical frameworks suggest consciousness may extend beyond the physical brain, possibly interacting with parallel universes 2. Observations Dreams often feel real, with sensations such as touch, motion, and emotion. Sudden memory recall after forgetting. Déjà vu experiences where events feel pre- experienced. 3. Hypothesis During sleep or altered cognitive states, consciousness may temporarily detach from the body and interface with alternate- universe versions of oneself. These shifts could produce experiences of dreams, intuition, and sudden memory recall. Conceptual Model: Universe A: Yash (awake) Consciousness active Universe B: Yash (sleeping) Consciousness detached Switch: Consciousness moves between A and B Work performed / Memory updated Return: Consciousness aligns with Universe A Sudden recal 4. Supporting Scientific Frameworks Quantum Consciousness Theory (Penrose & Hameroff) Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (Everett) Brain activity in REM sleep during dream states 5. Conclusion This hypothesis is speculative but aligns with emerging theories in quantum neuroscience and multiverse physics. Further research could deepen our understanding of consciousness, reality, and human cognition.
