My stupid dream ...

I'm putting this in the humour section because of its sheer idiocy ...
I was lucid dreaming last night... Before I went to bed, I was out the back yard having a smoke, looking up to the night sky and wondering
if an all knowing entity or something (like Star Trek's Q) said I can ask only one specific question, he will answer it.
That had me stumped! What could I ask?
Is our model of the big bang accurate? (no life changing knowledge there either way)
Is God real? (doesn't mean anything if we don't have a baseline on the definition to start with)
We all know the Abrahamic God is bullshit, so I ain't wasting the question of a lifetime on that nonsense.
Or maybe something a little more practical: Are Big Macs really made of 100% beef?
Or any chance of next months mega lottery? Yeah Baby!
Ok, So I'm in bed thinking about this stuff.
I finally ask the entity (in my dream) : when, where and how will I die?
He said, I cannot answer that as the natural flow of events in the future is fixed and you changing things unnaturally could have disastrous consequences.
I said, OK, then just tell me 2 of the 3. Tell me when and how.
So he proceeded to tell me that I will be hit by a bus on this specific day in 10 years.
So my dream fast forwards to that "special day". Instead of doing the normal things, I do not leave the house at all! I will cheat death!
The whole day goes wonderfully, the evening comes around, I'm feeling relieved and relaxed. I turn the tv on to catch up on a bit of news.
There's a live coverage of an out of control bus careering down the main road (no brakes)!
I thought to myself, OMG, that's the bus that was meant to kill me had I been crossing the road!
With my eyes glued to the tv, I notice that this road is not too far away from me... I also notice that the bus has now veered off course.
Possibly to minimise the loss of life.
Then I see it on the tv heading straight to my house! My mouth drops! Seconds later the massive bus ploughs through the brickwork of my house and eventually comes to a stop in the lounge room.... On top of me. Squished like a bug!
As the director of my own lucid dream, I thought WTF! I am such a stupid dream director!
Just as I was coming out of the dream I analysed my logic and realised that this godly Q type entity wouldn't have give me those 2 details of when and how if it was going to change history... Doh!
Anyway folks, That is the very stupid dream I had last night...
Which brings me to my question. What is the one question of a lifetime you would ask?... Would it be technical, practical, philosophical, etc?

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
