The Dark Tower
Rebecca and I were staying in the Dark Tower. It was really vivid and cool. We were staying with these two immature boys. Someone was pressuring us to do something cool and one of the boys thought we should jump out the window onto this tin-roofed shed below. I said that was stupid but Rebecca jumped. She half missed the shed, smashed her head, and was silent. Somehow I knew she’d be alright but I ran down to see anyways.
There was some game or something there, too. I was quite aware that this was some altered state and I told others about “my dream” while still dreaming.
The Dream Self: It’s not uncommon for my dream self to refer to previous experiences as dreams. I suspect it may think of rotes as dreams.
Unconcerned: My dream self knew she was okay, since you can’t be injured or die in dreams. If my waking self had been engaged, I’d be freaking out and crying after witnessing such a thing, sure that she was dead.
