Left Ear

An attempt at recollecting my thoughts while falling alseep, a few nights ago:

The usual cross-fading between reality and something else …. with my eyes closed, an image begins to form out of a blur ………. more images …. they begin to blend into each other … audio kicks in ……. a sound ………beginning to gather detail only as i pay attention to it …… it sounds like words ……. words i dont understand ……… like a soft whisper, but loud, like it was right next to my left ear ……… no meaning ……….. I’m not asleep yet …… suddenly a more conscious thought forces its way in …. like ones that exist only when you’re awake…. “was it real?
……the whisper …. “was it real?”
“WAS IT REAL?”
I open my eyes and look left …….. a dark empty room ………. my heart going faster than normal ……… close my eyes again …. that’s something i wanna remember …. something i want to write about later ….. but wait …. if I fall asleep now I wont remember it…… I pick up a pencil and scribble in the dark on an already cluttered piece of paper lying on the table near by: “left ear” ….. yeah ………… that should make sure I remember it tomorrow morning …………..
and I closed my eyes again ………maybe the whisper resumed, maybe the words made sense …….. I dont know, I fell asleep.
