Daily Prompt – May 25, 2026

I constantly question reality. Not because of anything specific that is happening but because I go into these sort of dissociative moments where it feels like things are happening around me but not to me. It feels like I’m watching a movie. People and things pass by me and it feels like it’s all fake. It’s a very disconcerting feeling because I still feel all the sensations so I know I’m alive, I’m conscious, etc. I know the things are actually happening they just don’t seem like they are happening in real time.

This is kind of like when you have those really realistic dreams that feel a bit like lucid dreams or even lucid dreams themselves. That feeling that the things happening are real but when you wake up they never actually happened. It’s like that except they actually happened, my brain just struggles to process it because they feel hazy.
