If any senator wishes to read this, I suggest a SUSA bill. Stop United States Act. If the internet needs to babysit your lawmaking, Then there's something wrong.
All good things come to an end. If there was something after death, there wouldn't really be a death, would there? It would somewhat trivialize the concept.
A four hundred year long lucid dream after death would be good, I think. Is a long time, but I'd imagine eternal combat, creation, and orgy would keep me entertained.

Lucidity would be my very last choice. Sure, you can make whatever you want, but that would get boring pretty fast. The joy of life doesn't come from having good things. You could have everything in the world for all eternity, but what would it matter? It'd all begin to bore you soon enough.
The things that make the world interesting are the things you don't know. They surprise you, they intrigue you, they occupy you. If you knew everything, including what's about to happen, it would be utterly boring.
Not to mention an eternity of anything is mathematically certain to repeat itself at some point, and do so infinite times. After a good while of going through the same stuff with no surprises and constant repeat encounters, you'd be in hell.
So I'm glad you didn't die today and get offered a chance to choose your afterlife. I would feel so bad for you.
I imagined myself being a teenager (Assuming I die as an old man) in a pure white room. I get a super PC with all the things I wanted. I would never be hungry or tired. I would still have a bed though, for simple enjoyment of lying down. I could visit my passed friends and relatives in their respective afterlives. I could see their faces for the rest of my eternal living, enjoy a life with everybody who I have lost and now have become immortal companions. And with the PC I could still be in touch with the mortal world. And other technological stuff is there for me to use and and newer technological stuff appears in my room that shape is defined by my thought of what it should be.
I would have a door in that room where it leads me to infinite sky and clouds. I can create anything there, like Minecraft Classic.

You aren't being very imaginative. There's loads of things you could do in a perma-lucid dream.

After death? I'd rather not have death at all until I'm ready. Just instant resurrection with all my afflictions cured please (without loss of mind continuity).
I don't believe in a soul, but my own intrinsic belief is that if my exact particles from death (the same EXACT ones that made up my body at the moment of death) where to rejoin in the same order close enough to form me again, which yes, is basically infitensimatly small odds, i would be reborn in the same state, reincarnated if you will.
So: 1 - for the lifespan of the universe to be infinate, then i will be immortal, and will eventually be reborn in a survivable location, because since time is infinity, every possible out come will happen
This comes down to a similar problem with the transporter from Star Trek... but would such a being be you? Continuity of (un)consciousness from moment to moment defines who we are. If that continuity is broken then re-created, is it really you? Similar questions exist in the issue of mind transference (say from a biological brain to an electronic one). Merely points to ponder.
If you are a Battletech/Mechwarrior geek you may enjoy my Timberwolf/MADCAT model (the source of my avatar) (warning: image-heavy link target) I will often edit my posts after I have posted them in an attempt to improve their clarity (I value a few high quality posts over several low quality ones; the more lengthy the post, the more time it requires to edit) so you might want to wait for a while if this post is recent and refresh to see if anything has changed before replying to it.

But not infinite things. Not only do you not have infinite imagination, but there aren't infinite possibilities. There just aren't. And even if there were, ∞ > ∞. Eventually, you would repeat a past experience. It is a mathematical certainty.
And as soon as you repeat one, you'll have to repeat the others. Endlessly. And with each passing eon it'd get more and more boring.
Edit: ****ing everyone wants their own world. This is one of the dumbest decisions you could make, I hope you know that.
Well that doesn't have much discussion value.
And would this life even matter if nothing came after?
You'd be oblivious to your accomplishments and such, anyways.
Peace. Bliss. Not worrying about anything. I'd take that above most other things, including eternal happiness in some cases. The happiness would fade over time, leaving me frustrated. And after that I'd still be conscious with a built up immunity to dopamine.

That's a problem with any infinite afterlife. There's no guarentee, either, that'd you would remember half of the dreams you thought up over the eon. If you didn't, you wouldn't need infinite content to keep yourself happy.

I don't think you understand the concept of infinity. It is literally greater than anything ever. If you have even the very faintest memory of anything before, you'd still run into that again. Your imagination is nowhere near infinite, and it'd probably take less time to run through it all than to lose your long-term memory.
Not to mention knowing what's about to happen will invariably be boring.

I always wondered what would happen in the afterlife... If im still alive at 80 years old im going into a cryogenic chamber so i can be in the future!! Anyways back to the point. I want a world where i found a rock that granted every wish! (Shorts reference)

The impossible is only possible if you dont think its impossible in the first place

A number of years back, I've played halo:CE. If I were to go back to playing the game, the memories would not stop me from enjoying it now. My imagination only has to be "long" enough to be where it's been enough time for those dreams to seem appealing to me.
Alright, you've played minecraft before, say you're going to build a house. Though you have an idea of what you're going to build when you start, your end result generally varies from what you pictured. I'd imagine that dreams could operate the same way.

It's not a problem with Heaven, because by definition it is perfect, though probably nonexistent. And it's not a problem with eternal bliss, either.
Also, I've never played minecraft. And I don't want to argue about this anymore, because I've described my core beliefs in the most fundamental way possible, and if you don't understand that then you won't understand anything I say.

Been noticing this phenomenon more where people who hold standards that above average are silenced while those with standards lower than average are viewed as pleasant and preferable. No wonder mass media is in such ****.

This.
Life has taken a lot out of me, I wouldn't want anything other than complete and total oblivion.
Like anime? Try Visual Novels.
Very enthusiastic response sir.

I'd like to see my mother again.
Then I think I'd probably like some reincarnation.
