DEATH
The idea of death is not ideal. Since death is one of the harsh realities people are running away from in reality. No one can die in the metaverse. The closest idea of death is that one will be disconnected from their avatars and forced back to reality. In that state, the person will not be allowed to log back in, until a few days when his avatar will be cleared off the system. So when he/she returns, they return with a new avatar. But over time, like all good things, Death will eventually enter paradise.
LOVE
Since love is a feeling, it may be difficult to programme it into the avatars. However, since the avatar connects all the senses it is possible to feel love. This may take time to be real, but it will come to play. People fall in love from just hearing someone’s voice over the phone. Or seeing someone’s picture. The avatars will have the ability to feel but may take time to do so.
SEX
The ideas of the metaverse are still in the development stage. But for sex, it is mostly left for the imagination until the manifestation. Once the avatars can begin to feel love, then it may be possible to have a kind of connection that may create the sensations needed for sex.
DREAMS
Dreams are something no one understands to date. Since the metaverse is a semi-dream made manifest by VR, it is unlikely that the Avatars will have the capacity to dream. Dreaming is consciousness that involves the activity of the physical body.
