Today I went to play cards at a place with Jessica. Much fun was
had. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The Mundane Nightmare
My subconscious decided to give me a quite the plain nightmare. But
something that made my feel uneasy nonetheless. And worse yet this
mundane nightmare came to me every night. The nightmare was always a
replay of the day's events before I feel asleep but details were
changed everywhere. Details on where things were in the room. Details
on what happened. Details on people clothes and in their faces.
They'd be wearing the wrong shirts they're eye colors would be wrong.
Even if they were my own friends and family. Maybe a bit too tall or
too short. Fat or thin. Everything in memory would be off.
This distortion would make me feel so wrong and reality in the
nightmare so uneasy and unpleasant. Often scarier than you would
think. The whole world changed just enough so that it wasn't what you
knew. So you knew that you were dreaming a facade. It frightened me
maybe more than it should have. But the mundane nightmare struck me
deep.
Enough that I had to see a therapist. But a stuck it through. Fought
the mundane nightmare. I still have it. But I just deal with
everything being wrong. Everything being off. The therapist made me
spend time looking at objects in a mirror, upside down, through
telescopes, and so much more to distort my perception waking. He made
me think of all the ways the world is distorted and made me think
that everything is a little off.
