But if it did, that experience is so intense, so detailed, so nuanced, and for so long with none of the dreams skipping, like it might as well have been real.

Like that is equally as miraculous that our brain, my brain could produce this experience.

So I basically just jumped past this

you know, is this a dream?

In my mind, I knew it wasn't.

You know, I was living it.

There was no doubt because it wasn't like I had one shot.

I could, you know, after an hour, come back and pinch myself again, right?

Like I could drink coffee.

I could, you know, all that stuff.

Like I'm living in the minutia.

And so I remember thinking a lot about like, okay, so now I know for sure time travel is possible.

Now I know for sure that our consciousness can decouple from our body and move around in time and space.

What does that mean?

And so I'm now revisiting everything I've learned through the lens of it not just being vaguely metaphorical.

I wasn't sleeping.

I was there in 1990.

And that was just another scale of surreality.

So those days went on and I, you know, again, I don't remember everything.

I remember thinking like, do you dream and go to the bathroom like this?
