You Did Not See This Anywhere

  1. So yesterday I awoke from this dream where I was in an East German prison, saw a moment when the guards accidentally left both gates of the sally port open, and simply slipped out and started running.

    The thing is, the production values were really bad and even though I was in a first-person mental POV, the camera angles and POVs kept changing.

    I ran into a nearby forest and up a hill, more of a small mountain really. It was nighttime, possibly rainy, but I was still trying to avoid groups of hikers and campers and I was aware (due to the shifting camera angles) that there were guards and police after me.

    I knew that I was dreaming, not in the lucid dreaming sense, but that I was reliving from a semi-first POV the experience of some famous escapee whom I'd seen on an educational channel documentary.

    I found a cave in the mountain that the guards missed, and according to the voiceover I was able to hide there for nearly two years, only coming out when I heard about the fall of the communist regime and the reunification of Germany.

    And then I woke up and toddled over to the computer to see who I was dreaming about. No one, apparently. Seems I made the whole incident including the poorly filmed dramatizations up in my head.

    Very odd.

    I'd read that book. Especially if there's a line in it that says:

    Voiceover: he remained there in hiding for about two years until the fall of the communist regime. He, like Germany, reunited with the world.

    Perhaps you accidentally slipped into somebody else's imagination and became a fictional character in their story?

    So you usually have production control over your dreams? Are you an AI entity?

    @GrahamLewis I've often wondered that but every time I ask the question out loud there's a buzzing shrieking warbling in my ears, my tongue goes numb, my entire field of vision goes brilliant blue, and I wake up exactly four minutes and thirty-eight seconds later reeking of ozone.

    Boy I wish I could do that. All I get is a burst of static and then a blackout, followed by a the drum solo in "Innagaddadavida" and then a giant ALF crooning "I enjoy being a girl" in that field of poppies from the Wizard of OZ. So I do anything I can to avoid . . . . .. oh no!
