Am I awake?

[avad]

I'm having more weird dream/realities. About two weeks ago I dreamt I went by the
house that I grew up in, met my old neighbor, who then turned into my mom
and we decided to go inside the old house because she had the key. We were
looking around inside and then the new owner came home, a nice Spanish
woman. In real life that week I need to get special art materials and decide to go drive by the house on my way
west (it's in the middle of LI) and lo and behold, my old neighbor's garage door is open so
with some feeling of weirdness, I go to see if she is there. She is not, but
her son is (all grown up) and I talk to him awhile...then I'm about to get
back in my car and a woman comes out of MY old house...and so I can't help
it, I run over and ask "Do you live there?" and she says yes...and I tell
her I grew up there from the age of 3 til oh about 21 (10 yrs ago). And she absolutely
insists that I come inside and look around!!!So there I am inside the house of my childhood...telling her which room was mine and which my sister's... and yes, she was a very nice
Spanish woman. weeeeirdness.
Then two days ago I dream that my next door neighbor here stops by
unannounced and then turns into my landlord and is asking to look around and
check the bathroom (we've had a minor leak for months and months) and I am
upset because it's all a mess and I'm totally unprepared. So what happens yesterday? You guessed it. 8:30 AM the landlord and a plumber are at
my door completely unannounced and I'm in pajamas and the house is a mess and they (very politely)
ask if it's at all possible to check the bathroom for an estimate.
So I guess I had had a warning...but I didn't heed it. SO my bad. ergh. But
how weird is that.
Life is strange,kids, I tell you. I don't get it.

Makes one wonder...are we living a memory..or creating worlds..or somehow privy to all experience yet usually only tap into a specific 'self-bandwidth'...?

I've often wondered about that. I really don't know what I think is most likely. Most often I lean toward thinking that all time exists - but the we only conciously experience one moment at a time. Just like the whole globe exists, but we only exist in one part of it at a time. On the globe, via various means of communication lets us be aware of places far from us on the globe. Perhaps, in a similar way, we can be aware of other moments in time even while we're not in them. Memory lets us do that with the past, perhaps something can let us do that with the future.

Hee. You've pretty much summed up the whole show I'm working on, called 'Everywhere'. !!
