It Happens in Your Sleep

I think it happens in your sleep. 

You go to bed one night, as usual, and you fall asleep. You drift into that slumber because your body and mind are ready for it. 

While you're asleep, you dream. Your body shifts and your pillows move. You grab at blankets and adjust. You aren't aware of what you're even capable of. You may even speak. You drool. You might walk. Your hands make their ways to parts of yourself, that can happen too. 

All of this happens while you're not even conscious. And if you're alone, unless you set up some way of recording yourself, there is no proof. Maybe you leave a few drops on the pillow where your mouth rested. Maybe there is a bruise on your wrist that you have no recollection of. Maybe you recall fighting dragons on the streets of San Fransisco to save a doll you had as a child. There is certainly evidence of what may have happened but you can't actually prove it. 

You just know that when you wake up - something has changed. Something is different now. You can't prove or explain it - it just is.
