An Existential Crisis

So I take melatonin and one of the side effects is vivid dreams. And that’s causing me to confuse my reality sometimes. I’ll remember an experience, but then realise that it happened in a dream, not in real life. Or I’ll think about someone, but then realise that I met that person in a dream and they literally don’t exist.

I was sitting on a couch and telling some friends about this. I said something like, “It’s kinda weird because I can’t tell what’s real and what happened in a dream. I mean, this could be a dream and I wouldn’t know. It still feels real to me.” And then I woke up.
