Last night I had the strangest sensation. I woke from a dream, and for the infinite space of a few seconds, I didn't know who I was. Often in my dreams I am someone else, but always on waking I know that I am Sarah, and know also where I am. This was such a moment of sheer panic. I felt ripped away from the identity and space I'd been inhabiting in my dream, and for those long dreadful moments truly had no idea where I was or what had happened to me. Then, sensing Geoff asleep next to me, it was as if I remembered him and then remembered myself. I snuggled gently against him, his arm around me, and everything fell back into place.
