So the other day I went to give blood again, and afterwards I started feeling really hazy. When I started seeing spots I knew it was time to sit down, so I sat. According to my friend, who was with me, I was only out for a second or two, and by the time I came to, nurses were laying me down on the floor. But it felt like longer because I had this really intense dream, and I felt like I had been there forever. Like I visited another universe, only I had always lived there, if that makes sense. I was floating in a river in on a sunny day, naked, drifting in and out of the depths. I'm not sure, but I think my hair was long again in my dream, at least when I came up I think I could feel the weight of wet hair like I used to before I cut it. Every time I came back up, people were talking indistinctly and reaching for me. It must be how babies feel before they are old enough to understand words. I felt very at peace with everything going on around me, I didn't question anything. Like I said, it just felt as if I had always been there. One detail I remember is that at one point there was a big brick building alongside the river. I remember looking up at it. And still more people reaching for me and talking, speaking with indistinct words in fairly neutral tones, but I felt soothed by their presence nonetheless. Then I was faded back into reality and realized that I must have passed out, and I said "I'm okay" to let them know I was conscious. Apparently I'm really good at passing out, because I sat down beforehand so that I didn't hurt myself and afterwards I didn't freak out and try to move. Apparently a lot of people pass out and hurt themselves that way. So then they just let me hang out on the floor for a while and talk to my friend until my body felt capable of getting up again, and then they took me to a room with a reclining chair and brought me food. And then I spent the next fifteen minutes in the chair while my friend gave me cheese, and after that I was okay to walk. So that was a fairly interesting experience.
