Strange Happenings
Tonight in my apartment, while I was trying to sleep, there was a sudden burst of particulate into the air from my vents. This made me cough for a minute and was an obvious presence in the air for several minutes. I got up and found myself particularly hungry for some reason, and confused by the dust. For some reason it felt like an attack and, while I could not see the dust in the dark, it felt red/rust colored (I may have turned on the light to confirm this sense).
Then later, when I woke up more properly, I felt this deep sense that a disaster had occurred, one that would destabilize the entire country. I felt no immediate need to look it up, so I went about my morning routine, but this sense that I had caught some kind of disaster on my phone but could not recall precisely what it was lingered with me the entire time, and I could feel myself making plans in the back of my mind. I also got the strong sense that I would be rescued against all logic from this- raptured or otherwise taken away. It was a surreal state to be in, and it lasted the entire time (~10 minutes) until I returned to my phone, checked the news, and found that nothing of the kind had been reported. Honestly this made the experience feel even more surreal, as it was so visceral and permeating. I wondered where I might have gotten that impression; it did not feel like a dream that had misfired into my waking world. In retrospect, it feels like these these two events are related, as if the dust was meant to destabilize me and cause panic, but was insufficient to do so entirely. It has been a very strange night for these reasons (otherwise normal), and I felt that these events, which did not feel in any way like dreams or hallucinations, were worth documenting.
