Have You Ever...

Have you ever had a dream in which you see a guy, a really intense, scary sort of guy with piercing green eyes who stares right back at you like he's looking through you, and it looks and feels so real, like you're not dreaming at all but it's real life, and the guy looking at you can almost tell what you're thinking and he says to you 'this isn't a dream, this is real life and it's really happening right now' and you get kind of freaked out and you wake up, but because it's dark and because of the dream you just had you're not really sure you're awake, and it takes you a long time to convince yourself that the thing that seemed so hyper-real, so alive and immediate and intense was just a dream and that the grainy, dim, half-seen shadow that is your bedroom, your life, is the real thing?

Nah, me neither.
