Reality Check

I woke up this morning from a very realistic dream. For several hours after leaving the bed, I still could not percept the world in a reliable way. Although I am still conscious, I could not determine with confidence what was real and what was made up in my brain.

I personally like the effect, and how it feels, but this hinders my ability to stay in real life and perform daily tasks. If there were a choice I would rather enjoy what I perceive at the moment.

Reading the news or listening to some music helps my return to reality. But there is still a sense of a lost world that I could never enter again. As I live on, I continue to discard and forget things, both real and illusional.
