Last couple nights I've had some really trippy dreams.
One was like something out of the Twilight Zone, or maybe Rick & Morty. I moved into an apartment/dorm place. But we had to keep moving rooms. I slowly realized I was living in the Infinite Hotel Paradox.

There were other people there but I uncovered the secret, that the people they were moving were just alternate versions of myself. And as I kept going though the rooms I got closer and closer to my other-selves. It was kinda horrifying. Like, I couldn't escape being me. I never actually encountered myself, but I thought "what if I decided to move in with myself" - and in the next room was 3 beds with 3 versions of my dog, as if to say I already tried that.
Then I started thinking that the other ME that came before must be having the same thoughts, and I was just a room behind. That meant I was just catching up with my future self. By stalling I compressed time, so I was getting closer and closer to myself that we would merge into 1. But could I do anything different? Like If I saw myself in 5 seconds raise my arm and look at my hand, I would inevitably do the same. Scary, the idea that I'm self-aware but my freewill is an illusion and I can't stop me from being me. All my actions are pre-destined and I'm just going with the flow of time.
In another dream I became aware that all the cells in my body had individual consciousness, and my thoughts were just their thoughts in unison. My mind turned in on itself and I could sense my cells all smiled back in silent "We know that you know that we are you. "
That was also terrifying.
