You have an Eternal Life ahead of you.




Truth be told, I'd rather just go back to eternal sleep / non existence.




How long does sleep last from the point of view of YOU when there are no dreams?  Without "events"/objective experience, how much time do you experience?  Our culture imagines eternity as endless time, but the word eternity literally means "no time", etymologically. Every "time" you're asleep, it's eternal.  Only when thought comes back with objective experience (dreams or otherwise) does thought imagine sleep lasted for a certain length of time.

NOW is eternity. Experiment with it. How long does Now last? How fast/slow is Now moving? If it's always Now, how do we know that Now moves?  Is it rather that experience dances within THIS timeless NOW? Even memory and expectation which are gestures much like brush strokes hint at there being past and future. But memory and expectation are always experienced Now. We can have a dream that seems to last weeks or months because of this "experiential gesturing" hinting at there being objective time.

Ah, the mystery.
When sight and seen are complete,
who looks through these eyes?

All words are lies.
This statement, too, is false.
