The other night I noticed I was having a lot of dreams. I figured it was just because I was getting close to waking up, which is when REM sleep increases. So I started thinking about some stuff I needed to do when I got up. But I was still asleep and clearly in REM, so I just needed to get through these last few dreams and get them out of the way. Then I realized I wasn’t actually experiencing this current string of dreams. Instead, I was outside just looking at them. I was watching them float by like little bubbles containing entire stories. The best part? I felt no desire to jump into any of them. Progress!
