Its strange, but I've been living my life pretending to ignore this issue in its entirety. Of course, being the analytical type of person I am, I've run quite a few experiments over the past month to get as much information about my current situation as possible. There are still many questions that remain, many of which I don't think I'll be able to answer without additional tools and knowledge. There are many questions that I don't believe can ever be answered by any human being. Perhaps this is the work of a higher being.
God's work? Maybe the result of his work, but my version of God doesn't meddle directly with people. Well, I don't even believe in God in the first place, so this is all just nonsense that I'm coming up with.
I am trapped. Its a dream world. Or perhaps I am dead. But reasoning suggests its more so an alternate space than an afterlife or a world fabricated from my mind in an unconscious state.
How did I get here? I just went to bed like any other day, and everyone is gone. The world was the same, but yet there was no one. First I looked around to find my mom, my sister. They weren't around, but their possessions were still in the house. The car was in the garage. I didn't question it much, so I spent the entire day by myself, enjoying a carefree day of Starcraft 2.
When it became late I started to get a little worried. I called their cell, but they didn't take it; it was still in the house. I began to call everyone they could've gone to. What was strange was that the phones would pick up, but there would be no response. With negative thoughts such as an accident or kidnapping popping into my head, I checked the television for possible information from the local news. Nothing useful.
I called dad, but there was no answer. Scared, I thought I could ask the neighbors if they had seen my family. No one was home. Did everyone leave for some event I had not known about? They would've taken their phones. They would've taken their cars.
I hopped on my car and drove around, seeking help. There was no one else on the road. There was no one outside. There was no one inside. Everyone is gone.
Clearly this incident would signify some major event, yet the news went on talking about baseball and the weather. But I knew this event was not limited to just my town. I had already called people outside of Minnesota with no luck. But how was I playing Starcraft 2 with other people today? How was I talking to people on MSN? Why is the news talking of the road accident nearby that happened only an hour ago?
I returned to my computer, hoping to find answers. Of course, the internet news turned up nothing as well. But there were people online. I could talk to them, and they could talk to me! To avoid suspicion I asked a few seemingly off context questions to several friends, but they seemed to be living their lives normally. What shocks me further is that I had supposedly hung out with one of my friends today, something I clearly did not do.
Since then I had done plenty of research. Of course, no amount of searching would turn up any real information about my current dilemma, but I did enough experimenting to come up with my own conclusions. My best hypothesis is that I am stuck in another world, where I am the only being around. Here is what I have found so far:
1. I am the only living being capable of thought here in this world. Plants and Fungi, even bacteria still exists (I have a very powerful microscope). But animals of any sort are completely gone.
2. The only method of communication I have with my original world is through electrical communications. However, because my voice and image is not captured by these electrical devices, typed out texts online and through the phone are my only means of voicing myself.
3. Any action I take have no effect on the original world, and this world seems to reflect the original world only daily. I could eat from the local grocery, only to find every items replaced with a new expiration date the next day. I could break the windows of a car parked nearby, only to find it fixed... or never broken the next day. This also means my actions and I are not seen or felt by anyone of the original world either. The only exception to this rule is the electronic communications mentioned in rule number 2.
4. These "resets" mentioned in rule number 3 occur at 6AM every day. I have no actually witnessed this, but for some reason an overwhelming desire to fall asleep takes over me no matter how hard I attempt to stay up to see it for myself. Of course, it could happen at any other point between 6AM and 7AM, or perhaps the entire process takes a full hour. All I know for sure is that I have never successfully stayed awaken between the two times.
5. My replacement self is acting as my original self, but is not taking any big actions. He is, more or less, on autopilot mode. From what I've been able to dig up from talking to my friends online, I've just been going to school, coming home, eating, and sleeping. I was told I watch TV and read books. (on second thought, its more or less what I always did do in the first place).
Its been 36 days, and this is my first announcement of my situation. Its not a cry for help, as I don't believe I particularly need it. Overall, I've been quite satisfied with the life I lead now. As I have never been one to enjoy face-to-face social interactions, this world is quite easy to live in. I have a steady supply of everything I need, which is simply replaced the next day.
However I have many reasons for concern and I do want to figure this place out. What is this world?
While it is quite ideal for me in many ways, its not perfect, and the world does not bend to my will. I am not God here. And for this reason I don't believe that it is my own creation. The realism is so strong that I find it impossible to think this is just a long dragged out dream.
Perhaps its some sort of containment, like a prison, made a long time ago by some deity or voodoo before electronic equipment. I hear solitary punishment is quite brutal.
Maybe I fell through an alternate dimension or space. But if I could, doesn't that mean someone else could as well? I tried my best to search for others like me in this world, but its vast, and I have had no luck so far.
I might have died, and this is a type of afterlife. But no one else dead is here. Are we all granted our own world? None of these hypotheses explain my replacement in the original world. Who is he and who placed him there? Is he actually me, and I am but a split off half of myself?
36 days and counting. I spend most of my days dicking around online. I spend what other time I have trying to figure out this damn place, only to raise more questions.

Either you are trolling, sincere, or just a really smart person to make such a story.
But if this is sincere.. Dick around online, make videos, do whatever you want in that world, post it. It could show proof of your dream world of which I am quite skeptical.
About your doppelganger: WINDMILL. jk. As long as he is doing what you do, your life should be fine in the duration you are in the other world. Just like that movie, Click (Adam Sandler), your mind is elsewhere or jumps around, while your body does actions and such on muscle memory as well as basic sensory actions.
I'll post more stuff later.

The world is what you choose to see it as. It all lies in the mind.

Videos and audio capture nothing. Its strange. I'll need to test it out a bit more, but I don't think lightwaves and soundwaves can interact with the physical world either.

He died a horrible death with a divorce and everything.

I believe it is a dream, 12% of our brain is used on our conscious mind, the rest is unconscious. Your likely dreaming right now chances are you'll come out of it once something is either accomplished or your brain has time to do what it needs to do. As to explain why I'm getting this message, sleepwalking. Its quite easy for your unconscious to manipulate your body into typing something then going back to sleep. In fact I'm almost sure of it. I can prove any doubts you have too. I want to convince you because its likely the truth, so ask me questions. I've studied this stuff.

I don't understand. If its a dream, why have I been stuck here for 36 days? Sleep walking to type? No, I'm very conscious of every little action I take. Down to every detail.
Am I in a comma and this world is in my mind? I can take that as a possible explanation.

I prefer this world more than that one. At least time moves on in this world.

It doesn't matter, your mind is recreating a world that you've lived multiple times it is extremely easy. Regardless of how careful to detail you are, your mind is tricking itself into believing it is actually here. Thusly, YOU believe your actually here. Your subconscious governs your conscious, you will believe what it wants you to believe. As for the thirty six days part, either 1: Your mind is tricking you into believing its 36 days or more likely it just seems that way because you know that part of inception where the mind operates at different speeds at different levels? Well granted the subconscious doesn't have levels, that is true, but it decides how fast it goes, its not connected to any level.

Inception. I'm caught in a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream.
So you're saying I'm dreaming and sleep-typing at the same time right now, and my mind is distorting my world's time and space?
Actually sounds legit.

There is no time and space in your world, its not anything. Its just an arranged series of memories and supplements that keep you either contained or busy long enough for whatever your subconscious goal is.

Maybe you could convince yourself that your hand is....... nevermind.
If I were you I would stick to finding people, since that world has no repercussions. Buy a plane ticket, sneak on an airline, do whatever it takes to find those far away people. and heres an experiment to try, every day break the window of someone that if you break their window they would probably come after you with a shot gun. Something that you know for a fact would cause a real life repercussion. Play your inner minds own game. Of course it could just be filtering this message out........

It was both, probably because I'm preoccupied with Mabi sheep wool and just scanned through your whole wall of text.
I only read the second part which was why I didn't entirely understand it.
Does sound like a strange thing but I still feel it could be in the mind or something out of the ordinary has happened.
I want to say that reading this brings dissociative identity disorder to my mind. I'm not implying that you are affected or anything but this sounds really really odd. It's either a paranormal/psychological issue the way I see it.
Is there any way you can attempt to seek for help from someone you know in real life and you trust to believe you to give you insight on this situation? At least online and offline since your only form of communication is through the net.
If any mabination people are in the area you are at, you can probably ask them to look for you and family and find out what's going on.

Um... not going to pretend like I believe this, because it's so extraordinary, I can't fully wrap my mind around it. Reminds me of the Matrix.
If webcam or streaming video/audio doesn't work, you can always try to "push" past your "world's" boundary and see what happens. Hopefully, your existence won't be threatened. Of course, you can just go meditate about the whole thing for a long time.
