I had a few years where every time I was about to fall asleep I had that very immediate feeling of falling that wakes you up but it was 100 times stronger than I’d ever felt before. It went from “oh, I’m nice and comfortable and just drifting off” to “HOLY FUCK I JUST ALMOST FUCKING DIED” in less than a second, it was absolutely horrifying and took a deep mental toll during and for a good while after it stopped. I still think about it in the context of this post, just the idea of “what if all those times were some sort of universe switching?” (To be clear, not in a serious way, it’s just a fun philosophical thing).
