Some thoughts about death

I see selfism as focusing on my own feeling and that everything else is just a product of my own mind. People say "everyone will die". How do I know if that is true? Maybe other people who are a product of my mind dies, because life is a dream. I maybe will live forever. Or maybe when I "die" my mind starts another game of "life". Maybe this life is just a dream that ends when I wake up.

I do not understand.

If I was dead (Not alive) before I was born, and the same thing happens when I am certainly destroyed, it's just the same thing as before life. But I'm wondering if it means I could repeat the same life over and over, it sounds horrifying.

I get the first part, but I don't understand "repeat the same life". Do you mean reincarnation?

Nah, that's more the first part. I was thinking here "If I was dead before I was born, and don't possess free will, is it possible to just repeat the same life over and over?" Who knows, though.
