(no subject)
i dreamt that i was wandering around in this very large wooden house. In one of the rooms I found Gonzalo just sitting on a couch. I came up to him and asked him where we were, and he asked me who I was. He didn't know me at all. Then he began to run away, and I chased after him, yelling at him to slow down. I went through all of these rooms going after a figure in the distance who I knew to be Gonzalo because I wanted to know why he didn't recognize me. Then after I had completely lost him, I began to wander around this house again. I found a guy sitting on a table, filing some folders. He recognized me, even though I had never seen him before. Then I wondered if I was somehow experiencing an alternate reality, in which people who I knew didn't know me and people who I didn't know knew me. I wondered if somehow my consciousness had traveled into my body of an alternate universe. I asked the guy sitting on the table if he thought it was possible. He smiled and then said that I was full of shit. Me and the guy talked for a bit. About what? I cannot remember. Then he told me that I was dreaming. And that the moment I wake up is the end of his existence. Then, these people barged in through the door and told me that it was time (to end this dream). I protested, because I didn't want my awakening to be the death of this person, because I was convinced that he was just as real as anyone else. I didn't want to feel responsible for ending someone else's existence, even if I created it to begin with. So I ran away from the people who were trying to wake me up. One of them caught up with me. I began to cry, and yelled that it wasn't fair that this guy is about to die. The person grabbed me by the shoulders and told me to look into her eyes, and as soon as I did, I was awake. When I woke up, I was still dazed and confused from the dream. My eyes were watery and for a few moments I mourned the untimely death of that young man. Then I realized how it was all a dream, although it had felt very real. Too real....how am I so sure that I'm awake now?
