0/-1, alright and why I dream
My daydreams aren't all that complex, and it's not really a world. It's very simple (simple having the grandest connotation here), and taken from words and sights, of a life I wanted/want; I use them to run from the complex past, memories and the pain of the same. It's that, or relive and disassociate, which leads to things like the madness in the mountains the other week. I'll take the dreams when I can. They took me from life, but I wouldn't have been functional in life all the same because undone seams. They've kept me sane and human in those bad times and made me happy in those times of healing. It kinda feels selfish to me that I do, but I'd repay if I could. It started after witnessing something no human should. Instant dissociation, then the brain finding things outside of reality, even if grounded in it, to stop that pain. A couple of different ones over the decades, though the second has been there the longest and replaced the former. I haven't been doing it that much lately, because I've been thinking. Just therapy here, but mostly thanks.
Kinda funny to me that it's the simple things (not simple, but you know), when most normal people dream of grand or adventurous/exciting things. Some of them aren't all that exciting, they're just sad when viewed through a different looking glass.
