Wakeful dreaming


I had a moment this morning in the car. I was turning right from the estate onto the main road, as I do most mornings, and as I was about to go, I saw a car coming in from the left. It was going fast, but I went anyway. When I was on the road, it had disappeared. I remember bracing myself for impact, remember imagining the pain, being tossed through the windscreen despite the fact I was wearing my seatbelt, the fumes, the flames.

Is it possible my waking and dreaming minds are becoming mixed and intertwined? I was sure I was driving out in front of this car with nothing to stop me. It wasn’t even a decision, just something that was going to happen. Something I had no control over. Is it a premonition or my mind playing tricks on me?

It was weird. Almost as if I was in a dream, but yet I’m in work and posting this so I must be awake, mustn’t I? I suppose if I see this post tomorrow I’ll know I was awake………..
