These ideas also have some things in common with religions.
Some examples related to life after death in simulations:
The Matrix - normally no life after death - if you die in the Matrix you die in real life
The Roy game from Rick and Morty - you wake up in the video game arcade

The last example can be implemented using simulations where you initially have "God-mode" and the time travels more quickly (like in the Roy game and Inception).
Something like the Roy game could be played multiple times and could explain deja vu (theoretically).

I wonder, I wonder, what you would do if you had the power to dream at night, any dream you wanted to dream. And you would of course be able to alter your time-sense and slip, say seventy-five years of subjective time into eight hours of sleep. You would, I suppose, start out by []
