“I’ve heard that sometimes a version of you must die before another more enlightened version can be born. I think that’s true after watching the corpse of myself walk around.”

“Well aren’t there other options?” Mia asked. I quickly became overwhelmed trying to explain. I didn’t want to be a Debbie Downer, but she was looking for quick fixes. I knew she wanted nothing more than to help, yet I felt slightly insulted by her simplistic suggestions to improve things, as if I hadn’t thought of those ideas.”

“It was hard to accept that the doorbell was just a dream, because I could still hear it in my memory, like the last song on the radio or an annoying TV commercial stuck in my head. It wasn’t a faint memory of an innocuous doorbell – it was an exact “ding dong” sound, with a particular pitch, volume and rhythm.”

“I was so sure I’d heard the doorbell and simultaneously certain that I hadn’t. How could a smart and competent 23-year-old not be able to distinguish the edges of dreams from the tips of reality? How had the picture gone so horribly blurry that I’d looked to a dog to regain my bearings?”

“If I wasn’t compassionate toward myself, no one else would be either. It had to start within.”

“Normally, it takes people about 60 to 90 minutes to reach REM sleep, so they wouldn’t enter this stage during a 20 minute nap. People with narcolepsy often enter REM sleep soon after falling asleep. If a person enters REM sleep in two or more of the five naps in eight minutes or less during the study, it’s highly suggestive of narcolepsy.”
