This is totally random but I had the weirdest dream last night. (Technically, I guess this morning since it was the last one I remember before waking up.)<\/p>\n
It was set sometime after my surgery. I was in for some kind of follow-up. It wasn’t my real doctor or his office it was some people and place I don’t really know. There was also another younger guy there I didn’t know. And he was part of the appointment too. They had us both in a large room, me on one side and him isolated on another. They had me read a few sentences on a small business-sized card to myself but only say the first part of it out loud. The guy I didn’t know then said the rest out lout. Almost as though he didn’t even realize he was saying it. I was shocked because how would he know what else was printed on the card when I didn’t say it all?<\/p>\n
Come to find out, they did this new technique in the surgery. They said the name and in the dream I had heard of it before but I don’t remember it now. The technique used another person to “run” both people’s bodies while in surgery. Basically, they used this other guy to breathe and such for me while I was apparently under surgery. (At this point in the dream, I remember thinking it was some kind of bigger surgery then just my hysterectomy but, as it goes in dreams, some of the details were really vague.) I was somehow wired into his body and systems during the surgery apparently; like his brain controlled both of us during the procedure. This was a better way of doing it because it was supposed to be more “natural” and have less risk than a machine. <\/p>\n
But apparently, the disconnect didn’t work 100%. The guy was still getting random, subliminal insights to what I was doing or reading or thinking, etc. And he had been freaking out thinking he was going crazy or something. I didn’t know anything about it and I was surprised they had done this new, experimental technique. (Though I also remember in the dream thinking it was pretty cool.) Because he was the one who was the controller, it only went one way – adding to my lack of knowledge about what happened.<\/p>\n
They had gotten us both there together to try and sever the remaining link the guy had to me. But that’s when I woke up.<\/p>\n
It was just so odd though. One of those dreams that felt like it was me living through the experience of someone else. Like, I have dreams that don’t feel like they’re “me” but during the dream they are me. It’s like in the dream, I’ve stepped in and assumed the role of someone else and during that duration, it is me, but it’s not really me. Does that make sense? Often those kinds of dreams take place in some setting or world that isn’t quite the normal one either. They feel very real though.<\/p>\n
Plus this idea just intrigued me in general. I think there was a sci-fi show at one point where they did something like this but I don’t remember which off the top of my head. I just remember waking up thinking, “hu, weird but cool!” and it’s stuck with me this morning so I thought I’d share. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
