Do you ever...
...get the feeling you're shifting between realities? I've been finding more and more lately that my view of reality, what I remember happening, and what other people say they remember, being more and more firmly opposite. Not just little differences and subtleties, as if I was just remembering wrong, but being very firmly completely opposite and not even close to right.
I've noticed this happening my whole life, but it's becoming more frequent lately. I used to just write it off as a defect in my memory, but I really don't believe my memory is making such glaringly huge mistakes anymore. I read a story in Sci-fi lit, my senior year of high school, that talked about people who shifted between realities. I think it's called The Transients or something like that. I can't check at the moment, because the binders I have with copies of all the stories are packed away, but it's just about this guy who starts shifting between realities. Slowly he goes from having a loving relationship with his wife, to missing a child, to a bad relationship, to his best friend married to his wife, to no one he knows recognizing him.
My paranoia worries I'll end up like that, but I'm actually more worried about it just being a stupid details thing that is just going to make me look crazy to everyone else as I keep insisting things aren't what everyone else believes. Though, there's also the chance that people are fucking with me, or their memories are whacked. I keep hoping that the latter isn't the case with my mother, she's one of the ones I have the most frequent reality slips with, thought most of the issues are long term memory related, which isn't typically an issue early on. :-/ Another person I've had a lot of reality slips with, I don't want to believe he's fucking with me, but it's either that or reality slip, and I'm not sure what to think of that theory at the moment.
