2 decades or so ago when I was attending a boarding school, one night I went to sleep, like any other night. It was a rainy night. So I started to fall asleep, and then I heard a voice in my room, that awoke me, a female voice saying "He had to show papers to the court to prove that he was still a student". I was like wtf. So it awoke me and I turned the light on, and got up from my bed, and said "who's there? Hello? Is there somebody here?" and I started to search my room, looking in the corners to check if somebody was there. And there was nobody. So, I thought I had hallucinated, that it was just dream for lack of better explanation, and I went back to bed and didn't give it a second thought afterward. 3 or 4 months later, a girl I barely knew, a nice looking girl, who was a friend of a girl I knew, came to me and asked what I was doing for summer holidays and if I was ok to go to spain with her, she invited me at her place over there. Of course I accepted the invitation, I thought "yeah... I'm gonna sex you, awesome...". So the next month or so I went with her in spain. Then once over there, it was strange because most of the time we didn't hang with each others, so I wondered why she even invited me, what for, if it obviously wasn't all about having sex in the end? I'm a nice guy but there's a lot of nice guys, and we didn't know much each others, so why? I guess in hindsight it was just to spite her friend. But I digress. So days are passing by, I get bored, in a villa in a southern town of spain, not much to do except watching clouds passing by. Then one evening, she invites friends of her to take a coffee. People I didn't know, had no connection with, so I'm like at a table half listening to a bunch of strangers discussing about their respective life, and then, another girl, a friend of her, said "...He had to show papers to the court to prove that he was still a student". And I was like holyshit, W_T_F >>>> Jaw Drops to the ground. The episode in my room that I forgot about came right back at me. It was that voice that I heard that night, it's that exact same sentence that awoke me in my room that night. And I was about to tell everybody around that table, what just happened, and then I realized that if I do that, they're going to think I'm crazy, so I said nothing. Fast forward 2 weeks later or so, a fire engulfed the first floor of the house, and I managed to save the day essentially, I skip you the details, her mother was completely doped on sleeping pills, even technically awake she couldn't tell if she was dreaming or if it was real, I had to handle that too ... So you see, **you think you know** what's we commonly call "reality", just like the people before and after you, scholars, scientists, etc But you don't know, you think you know, big difference You and I are like terry A davis' bird, starring at his CRT monitor, there isn't a chance in the world for us to one day figure out what's that thing we're looking at
