how long does life last?

I don't know if you go anywhere when you die, but I had a dream about my dead brother and he told me something. He was alive in the dream and I was talking to him and he was able to reply, then eventually I asked him how he had come back and he told me that it was not going to last forever and that he had to go back. Then I asked him what it felt like, and he said it felt like he had to go poop for a really long time, then finally got to let it out. Then I woke up.

At first I was confused by his reply but then I had to go poop like 5 minutes after I woke up and I realized that he meant that it was releasing and like waking up for the day, but on a cosmic scale.

Again, I don't know where you go when you die. But I think the only REAL thing that matters, is that its so much better than being alive and the harpers song rings true and we can not really ever know.

The Song of the Harper (A song about death that is Almost 5,000 years old)

"There is no one who can return from there, to describe their nature, to describe their dissolution.
That he may still our desires, Until we reach the place where they have gone.

It is not given to men to take his goods with him. No one goes away and then comes back."

Who cares what happens when you die. All we need to know is that you can not take materials with you and it is STILL amazing.

are we going to have another life after this? our world, who we are, why we are here, what does it all mean, what happens when we die. we could be just a science experiment, by a race of aliens, a million years more technology than we have right now, they created the ammobia .... Look how far the human race has come in just 100 years, our technology, basically anything we can think of can be accomplished. Think of a solar system a million light years away, that got a jump on us by a million years...I can't even imagine what people on earth can accomplish in ten years...Imagine a million, two.. Wow this is good weed ;)
Nobody knows dude. Meet someone who tells you they do... they are lying.

The entire Universe is one.

“Try to imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up... now try to imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep.” - Alan Watts, he also makes the point that you cannot experience nothing (death) and that the only thing that can happen when you die is a similar experience to when you were born because nature abhors a vacuum.

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the weather." - Bill Hicks

“I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?”
“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.”

"I saw the light" maybe you saw the outside light as you were exiting your mothers vagina! That light at the end of the tunnel could be more life! Perhaps when we die, and see this "light", it is our rebirth! A cleansing!

And what if everything you do in life is setting up the proper conditions for your next parents to get together in a parallel universe?
