My Fear of the Unknown

There are plentiful of movies that talk about their own theory of what they believe happens  after someone dies. Many cultures have their own theories but nobody really knows what happens after you do die. I'm afraid that there is only one realm where all the dead souls stay and attempt to capture a body to be able to live again because ghosts and souls want to live and again. They are lonely and miss the feeling of pain, pleasure and love. For example, in the movie "Insidious" it talks about how there is a realm where the dead roam until they get out of there and taken to heaven. Josh and his son, Dalton, have a special gift of being able to go to sleep and return to that realm. After being in that realm for a while, souls see you and while you're dreaming, they'll try to possess your body. This movie itself scared me as well as the way they described the other realm of dead souls and it made me question what does happen after people die. In the book/movie "Lovely Bones", Salmon describes the heaven she went to as a heaven that adjusts to her and what she wanted in a heaven. Everybody's heaven is a little different but yet it has school that all the little kids attend to counsel them about dying. Will our heaven that we go into be a euphoria like Salmon's or will we be stuck in a wretched, horrible, terrifying, realm of our worst nightmares like in "Insidious"? Where will we all go? Will we have an afterlife? Or will we be re-born into different animals or people according to the Buddhist religion?
