    The problem with your question is that you believe you have woken up.

    They don’t go anywhere. The dream doesn’t end just because you wake up.

    In other people’s dreams, of course. They hop like this from mind to mind, leaving one whenever it wakes and living on in the next. The thing they fear most ? the day everybody will be awake at the same time…

      I thought of this too, it was a story in Sum - Forty Tales from the Afterlives

      It is not life that is a dream; it is death that is a dream.

      You now recall that your dreams always had background characters: the crowds in the restaurant, the knots of people in the malls and schoolyards, the other drivers on the road and the jaywalking pedestrians.

      Those actors don’t come from nowhere. We stand in the background, playing our parts, allowing the experience to feel real for the dreamer. Sometimes we listen and pay attention to the plot of the dream. More often we talk among ourselves and wait for our shift to end.

      This is not a job choice but indenture: you owe the same number of hours of service as you spent dreaming during your lifetime.

    “Where” is a question that applies to the physical world. The dream people are constituted of something more fundamental than matter.
