Dreaming is very different. Things are distorted and inconsistent, I don't know how I got there, I'm in a stupor, my perception feels subtly different.. whenever I'm dreaming even if I'm not lucid dreaming if I ask myself if I'm dreaming I'm not sure.. and that's how I know I'm dreaming. Because when I'm awake I'm always sure because there's this certain feeling to it. This stark, static reality and this hyper-consciousness.
