I wrote a story called 'Reality Of Fate', written two versions - one about someone who finds they died when they were young and that life just carried on, but their family didn't last and the other about the character of Reina Beaumont I created, a woman who loses everything in her life and just as her life is coming to an end months later, she's forced into long life by an experiment to see if humans can manage long life, and she finds that she has no choice but to do exactly as Fate demands of her.
Anyway in both stories I added in a scene while listening to a piece of music called Dreaming Of The Shore, from Chrono Cross, and I found the music made a thought appear - "Life is but a dream of the dead, they dream of what was, what will be and what is now. As they dream and the ocean continues with it's never ending ebb and flow, life will continue be it in any fashion. We may live, we may die, we may never have been or never be, it never matters in the end because it is all a reality of fate. Life carries on regardless, even if we do not."
That ended up being regarded as a tad too deep, especially when I added in a scene with the main character standing over her own grave with the sound of the sea in the distance.
