Have you ever experienced something so unreal there’s no way it could be normal?
I remember a time I saw something in the doorway.
A figure.
A ghost.
Of course I would be scared.
I had run back into my room like no one had run before.
I closed my eyes.
Hide from the ghost.
Maybe it won’t hurt me.
Eventually I opened my eyes.
It was morning.
I thought it was amazing, surreal.
I held onto this one moment in time, I saw something unnatural.
See there is a state when we sleep called vivid dreams.
Don’t think of it too hard.
It’s not that big.
Another time I had a dream, a man and I were sitting in a room, a small room.
But I felt okay talking to them.
Eventually he asked me the one question I hate.
I woke up the next morning.
Believing I had just been seen and visited by something surreal.
But there are these things called vivid dreams.
Once something happened.
Something happened in life.
It triggered activity in my head, the hippocampus and the amygdala awaked.
After that I fell asleep but I really didn’t.
Because there are these things called vivid dreams.
Once I had an amount of anxiety I never thought was real.
It hit me later that night even though I never knew it.  
I woke up.
We have all woken up after one night being able to recall something that feels unreal but so real at the same time.
But see, there are these things called vivid dreams.
Don’t think of it too hard.
It's not that big.
But under all of these memories there is a thing called vivid dreams and that’s how it is.
