I’ve recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea.
The most fascinating thing about this is that for half a century now I thought I was a lucid dreamer with a commitment complex.
All of the most interesting, compelling, and delicious dream scenarios have been interrupted by me bowing out and apologising for my need to leave.
I always assumed my pounding heart on awakening was a reaction to departing forcibly on my own.
Turns out it was all due to me fighting for air, haha. I wasn’t a purposeful slouch afraid to soar in the air or pursue that imagined love affair. Also I was never truly asleep but in a constant dozing state.
What will the next half-century bring when I become captain and commander of the dreams I shall fearfully and wonderfully craft?
The times, they are a-changin
(Edit and addition)
Just got out of the Dr visit. It seems the two-day sleep study showed I had one 30-minute deep sleep session in the set.
If I was never truly asleep, then have I ever been truly awake?
Woah, shades of The Matrix here
