When I am dreaming, my brain knows different things than when I am awake. Here are a selection of these 'facts':

* I can run for arbitrary distances without tiring.
* ...as long as I modulate my gravity, so I'm only touching the ground to get friction for forward momentum.
* ...or, by a similar (though not exactly the same) process, I can often manage to fly. Both require a careful sort of non-concentration, similar to that which Douglas Adams described.

* I often am still living in the old neighborhood in Worcester. Well, more-or-less. Some of the details, though consistent from dream to dream, are not consistent with waking memory.
* Often when I 'wake' within a dream, I try to determine where I am upon my personal timeline by noting where in the room my bed is located.

* I fairly often visit the comic book store. It is never in the same location or layout twice, though it never seems to me at the time that the location is a new one.
* I have a complete run of the Cerebus comic book. While the general outline of the plot is similar to the waking version, it differs completely in detail.

* It's finals week, and I haven't gone to class all semester. (This one is often actually true, but far less significant than it used to be.)
* ...a rarer variant: I am about to fail to graduate because I missed too many gym classes and never got around to making them up.
* I have re-enrolled in my high school (Worcester Academy) as an adult.

* All of my girlfriends sort of melt into each other. It was years after we started dating that I first had dreams featuring someone who was distinctly [livejournal.com profile] kestrell in them, and to this day, she usually shows up as sighted. Conversely, sometimes ex-girlfriends show up as blind.
* ...this includes some women who I never actually dated, but was nonetheless fixated upon for years.

* New videogames are often full-sensory virtual reality immersion... but nonetheless rather dull.
