A dream. Within a dream.

Have you wondered what manifestations your dreams take on? Why you dream what you dream? Sure, they’re the unraveling of your subconscious in your subconscious, but in what way does your consciousness affect this? I don’t dream fantasy dreams. I dream very real vivid dreams. Everyday life, in a dream. Now, this is not a very good thing. My dreams are so vivid and closely related to events occurring in the “real world” that I begin to lose sight of the line that cuts off dreams from reality. Often I find myself questioning events and things, and wondering if they actually happened, or if they were just a dream. Another common side effect of these “life-like” dreams is the sense of time looming on and on. Since I feel like I’ve lived a few days while I was dreaming, when I get up, it feels like the night when I went to bed, was a few days ago. Now again, this could generally be an interesting feeling, but not so much when you are meant to keep a track of time, know what day it is, and have at least the faintest idea of exactly what transpired the day before.
This might sound pretty clichéd, what with Inception on everyone’s minds, but I promise, this has been happening since before I saw the movie, though the movie definitely struck a chord with my subconscious. A dream within a dream you say? Hmmm, which dream are we in then?
