I dream every time I fall asleep. It’s as if I’m always dreaming, even while awake, but I only get to experience them when I’ve passed out on the bed. Like stars in the sky, always there, only visible half the time. And then I get periodic doses of inexplicableness, like dreaming a unique and precise situation (example 1: we were sitting at the table, my aunt was at the sink, she turned her head, the table was cluttered with objects arranged at random), and then experiencing this exact situation a few days or a month later in the awake world. I expect no one to believe this. The only reason I might not immediately write off as insane a person who tries to convince me likewise is because I experience these dream planned ahead blue print situations myself. I wish these moments would last longer so that I might be able to experiment with predicting future events via remembering the sequence of events that combined to form the dream in question. As it is, they are very brief. Long enough to realize I had dreamt the exact moment at some point in the past and then freeze for a few seconds, absorbing as much of the eerie feeling as I can stand. Gavin suggests that being motionless, as I am for the duration of these happenings, might be an unavoidable protective measure, and that if I were to try to break free of my freeze shell and change something (i.e. act at odds to the way I had dreamt I had acted), then unpredictable and dangerous consequences would result. Maybe not dangerous. Maybe just permanent change–>no going back to the life you once knew.
