A Whole Other Reality…

All my life I have always had the feeling that there is a whole other reality out there. The simplest way I can describe it is that when I look into a mirror, there is someone else, perhaps my future or past self looking back at me. That description doesn’t entirely do the perception justice, but it at least gives you a crude idea of it.

Many times in the past here on RJsCorner I have told you that there comes points in my life where I must get off to myself. Most often during those times, I lay back and look up at the night sky and dream about where I will be in the future. It is as if the future me was giving me glimpses into what is to come.

I will admit here that for the last couple of years, I do something even stranger than this. Just before I turn off my half-hour shower every morning, I say hello to my other self. Let me explain that a little. In my RetCom home, the shower head can slide up and down on a chrome bar. If you clean the water sprinkles off, it is almost like a mirror. So, I now say “Good morning” to that image, whatever it is.

Like everything else in my dream world, this happenstance is mostly just a part of my ever vivid imagination delving into something totally off-the-wall. But, when my time comes to take my final breath, I won’t be totally surprised if I do meet my other self.

I know all of this type of dreaming is likely very far from reality, but maybe that is because reality is just so messy.

  1. if your other self inludes all of human knowledge, experience, wisdom, and self-awareness, then I agree. This life on earth is, very possibly, just a pale reflection of all there is.

    Or, not. And we will never know the difference, but imagining does no harm.
