Today I have a question for you. I'm not going to tell a funny story or prepare some sort of commentary on life. I just have a question for everyone and anyone that takes the time to read this. So here you are:
Think about the worst nightmare of your life. Imagine that the very dream you are most scared of is real. It could be anything, from monsters sleeping under your bed to a goldfish eating your family. Whatever horrifying thing it is that you imagine in your sleep, that is what I want you to picture at this moment. Now, imagine that that nightmare isn't just real, but it happens over and over and over, every single day of your life.
Let's continue with the family-eating goldfish dream. Imagine that every single day when you wake up, a goldfish eats your family. The next day, your family are all alive and well like nothing ever happened, and then MUNCH! The same goldfish eats them all over again. The next day is just the same, as is the one after that, and the one after that. No matter what you do, no matter what you try, every single day this goldfish eats your entire family.
This is where the question arises. How do you escape that nightmare? You cannot sleep, because in your sleep, you give birth to the nightmare, and yet you cannot be awake, because when you are awake, you live the nightmare. Every night recycles your family, just to have them eaten by a goldfish when you wake. And yet, if you stay asleep, the goldfish will eat your family in your dreams. So, again, I ask the question:
How do you escape a nightmare that exists in real life?
