Yep, I must be psychotic

I agree with the fact that we are all (medically) psychotic, delirious, or demented while we are dreaming. While I will argue to the fact that for some people, this doesn't only happen in their dreams, it makes more sense when I think back over some of the really random dreams that I've had. A teenage guy in a big bunny suit who jumped off a third story balcony of some apartment building at me. I once looked in on a school like it was a dollhouse, and then I walked through it with my friends just like we were those Playschool Little People. The fact that dreaming supposedly takes up as much mental energy as the waking state was incredibly interesting. The details in the two dreams I had mentioned were quite vivid, like my imagination and creativity were working over time, even while I was asleep. This attributes to my lack of energy after waking up from a full night's sleep fraught with dreams.



And the conditions of dreaming being the same as psychotic symptoms... I believe it. How many people have been locked away in an asylum because that bunny costume in my dreams escaped from their imagination and transcended some boundary into their waking state?


I still maintain that we are all just characters in some infinite creator's dream. Watch "The Waking Life." Or read The Midnight Club or The Star Group by Christopher Pike. You know, in case all of your schoolwork and jobs don't take up enough time already.
