What Douglas Adams said
21/2/08 23:22On October 17, 2006, I awoke thinking about a clay-colored Ralph Lauren raincoat. The memory of it filtered into my awareness: I remember a coat...didn't I have a coat like that? Yes! I did! What happened to that coat?
The slight startlement of realizing that I had lost that coat and completely forgotten about it till that moment brought me fully awake and got me out of bed.
The next day, October 18, after oversleeping, I half-sleepwalked to the bathroom and got into the shower on autopilot.
I had put shampoo in my hair and was washing the rest of me when three things happened in rapid succession.
( A detailed description of normal consciousness getting very, very messed up is behind the cut. )
By the way, the raincoat was on a rack of clothes that no longer fit but are too high quality for me to have let go of. The rack is in my basement. I'm sure Jung would have a field day.
