Me and my friends named Stephanie wants the afterlife (if afterlife does somehow exist) to be 100 % peaceful 100 % of the time with Fleetwood Mac music, Boston music, other moral music etc. as well as many other fun things.

Never ending pure heroin high may be...: )
I want to be immortal. If I had to design a heaven, it would be a continuation of the life I was living,
but without whatever killed me. I would prefer the heaven continually moved toward my vision of an awesome planet, because getting there is half the fun. It's also necessary.
My life as it is right now I could live for a very long time before I got bored...then I'd just move on to the next thing...
Mostly I see infantile projection in people's desires for Heaven ... like being at mother's breast, taking naps all day, not having to go to school or go to work. These are projections out of our earliest consciousness. Others may project their toddlerhood, or their teenage years.
We exist now in the field of action. Outside that is only the field of potentiality ... from which actuality is drawn, by us. If you don't like things as they are, then improve them, or STFU. Stop whining and blaming and excusing ... like a toddler. Stop chasing women half your age, like an over-age teenager.
Right now I am in Heaven. As long as I breath, I have the opportunity to make things better, not to be a passive participant in a diaper. Give me maturity or give me death!
If there's an afterlife, I hope it's an infinite library, perhaps like the Library of Babel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel).
I would be open to the idea if it was something that actually made sense. The typical Abrahamic notions are not very sensible at all.

Sting. There is no such thing as a 'after life'. So playing your little game is like playing the one where you ask: What would you do with a billion dollars (it was only a million when I was a kid)? Kinda fun for awhile--but becomes boring for we all know that you will never get that billion. So, we won't know. And if we did get that billion what we really do with it would be different than what we think we would do with it---and we all know we aint gonna get it. .......................so..........................

I think like I a have a million dollars and spend like I'm broke. I'd bore you with the community projects I have in mind.
I like to imagine the afterlife is being born into a new world, but with all the knowledge and memories of your previous life intact.
Earth would just be the first stop on an endless road.

Oh, I'm not saying I haven't played the game every now and then. I have projects I'd like to launch as well. That is, if..................................
Another life? After this one?
That sounds like a lot of effort.
If you get killed in the afterlife, where do you go?
The after-after life silly. Didn't you know there are seven levels in heaven?

Like a video game, if you find an "easter-egg" then you get an extra "life".

It's afterlives all the way down...
There would definitely be a chocolate fountain. And bacon.
I don't want an afterlife if I experience time on the same plane I currently do. I could say something like "sex, drugs, and rock n roll" would be a great way to spend eternity, but I imagine it would get old even after a century.
I can imagine conversations with friends and loved ones like:
"What do you want to do today?"
"Sex?"
"Ugh, we did that yesterday."
"Drugs then."
"I'm bored of drugs."
"I got some new heroin..."
"You always say that and it always ends up being the same old shit."
And so on...
Actually, an afterlife would be horrible. Imagine living for an eternity with all the jackasses of the past. Sure, most agree you probably wouldn't spend it with the Hitler types, but what about the Gandhi types? Venerated as a champion of peace and all-around good guy, he was a racist piece of shit. Sure, OTHER THAN THE EXTREME RACISM I'm sure Gandhi was great. But I really don't want to spend an eternity with the prick. And even Christians have to use the "It was a different time" excuse when it comes to things like slavery. You would spend an eternity with people who had owned slaves. Hell, former SLAVES would spend an eternity with people who owned slaves. How the hell would THAT work out? I imagine it would be something along the lines of a prison yard with the different ethnic groups in their respective areas.
Eternity with those assholes? No thank you. I still think death is a good thing.

Remember, no seconds on that one.
I thought about my dream world. I will have tons of friends. We will farm an organic permaculture. We will have vertical planters and aquaponics. The cats will eat the fish, as the people will be vegetarians. We will be cooperative, kind, fun, creative, and flirty.
There will be some nice looking ladies.

My ideal afterlife would be a world surrounded by close friends, where everyone is immune from negative emotions. Everyone would be happy just to be with each other and have fun together.
But given the nature of the world we live in, I don't expect anything better could come after it. What good god wouldn't just put us in the perfect world to start with?
I've thought about what more likely possibilities might be for a life after death.
1. If a god exists, and it gave me an eternal soul, it made me for its entertainment, not my benefit. This would not likely change after death.
2. If Solipsism is true, as I've been tempted to believe for several years now, it's possible that I'm simply stuff in an infinite cycle in which I live every possible life in any possible universe. It could be better than my current life, or it could be worse.
3. If this world is all that there is, perhaps I could continue to float around outside of my body. Without a functioning brain, I'd likely lack any real ability to think or reason. I might just exist as pure emotion, reliving the moments of my last days as if I were still alive.
It's all speculation, of course, but I'm not an optimist when it comes to this.

Die like a warrior. Rock on with Valhalla.
Firefly was never prematurely cancelled.
Heroes didn't get worse each season.
New episodes of Sherlock happen more quickly.
An afterlife would be endless wilderness and mountain trails, occasionally punctuated with uncrowded ski resorts.

I'm always closer than I've ever been since I'm always changing, hopefully, toward the benefit of life itself.
