Everything I read about it says there just has to be an alternate universe where your mind exists, is that the idea? Forgive me I'm an idiot.

    It doesn't. It's medieval nonsense dreamed up by people who had no understanding of how the brain works. About as useful to worry about as whether you can divine the future from the entrails of a goat.

      Also, if you want to have nightmares for a couple of days read Blindsight, which posits that there is no mind, and consciousness is a post-hoc illusion.
