How can there be no-self when there seems to be a self?

In an ‘ultimate reality’ sense there are only dhammas arising and passing away based on causes and effects. There are no selves, trees, mountains etc. Those are conventional perceptions based on ignorance.

So, there is nothing but dhammas in a stream of dependant origination or conditional arising.
In the ultimate sense, it seems that there is really no rebirth of a ‘self’ because the self doesn’t exist, but there is some kind of stream of dhammas that make up ‘you’ that go from one ‘life’ into the next. But is there really ‘life’? Our idea of life is based on the conventional way of seeing things as in trees, mountains etc. In the ultimate way of seeing things everything is just dhammas, including ‘life’. Its all just just dhammas in a stream of dependant origination or conditional arising. So rebirth is happening to ‘you’ right now. Right ???
