that's actually somewhat of a comforting comparison. the only panicky part about it is you can live peacefully knowing you'll awake. if you knew for certain that you were going to get killed in an accident 1 week from now, i guarantee you that these ideas would occupy a healthy portion of that remaining week. and i say that knowing full well that one day i'll be chipper and i won't give two shits and i'll laugh and say, "man, i was in a rut. fucking dying, i ain't afraid. i love sunlight." but, yeh, i'm in a rut. it's a little reassuring just knowing that.

my problem is, i have always been someone that has to mentally defeat something before i can challenge it; before i contest, i have to live it over and over in my head like a movie with a different plot, a different outcome, and a different challenge each time. it's probably not a healthy habit, but i often let myself daydream and run through the emotions of losing loved ones, being physically disabled, killing an intruder during the night and dealing with the aftermath, and other retarded shit like that. it seems that i just have some fundamental issues dealing with things that have unknown variables. it rips me apart. it waxes and wanes, but when it's all i can think about, i cannot reason anything being of higher priority. when i go on trips like this, i literally walk through weeks and weeks like a zombie... everything is meaningless. i know i'll come around, but i won't forget how much i logically prioritized this concept - it won't go away, it'll just be on the backburner.

so you haven't seen the studies and observation on atom phasing? also, it's now a pretty common theory that everything observable in our universe is only a fraction of the matter that should be there? (dark matter)
