Well, that depends on whether the other reality is an alternate timeline, of the kind theoretically produced every time someone makes a decision, spiralling off from the timeline I perceive as my own to follow the consequences of all other possible decisions/outcomes. Logically the "me" in each of these alternate histories would differ in whatever ways the prevailing conditions imposed and experience taught.
Then there's the possibilities of parallel dimensions, where the rules that govern reality itself are different. The "me" in a place I might find so alien as to be impossible to comprehend. Naturally this is a topic interesting, if somewhat futile, to contemplate.
I'm probably a sentient hadrosaur in at least one.
