Double Take

In response to Jonah's post on dreaming.. 

I've had a few interesting phenomenon occur while dreaming. People claim that they have dreams such as a never-ending drop, a recurring dream, or even (and as is most commonly portrayed in our culture) the nightmare of going to class without pants. Never having experienced any of these, I have a different "common dream." On occasionally, I have dreamed I've died.. 

The funny thing is, though, as a dreamer, I become very, very skeptical of that which I percieve in my virtual reality. My subconcious mind does a "double take," looks from an objective point of view at my dream, and says, "Yeah right!" With a little chuckle, "That would never happen." And so, calmly, I wake myself up, use the bathroom, and go right back to sleep, care free of any.. Random, outrageous death.
