this morning someone from work called me at 3:15 am. i tried going back to sleep but couldn't until like 5 am. i was having a nightmare that my flashlight got too hot and started to get soft and melt. i was upset because i use my flashlight all the time at work. but i started to wake up i guess because i started to analyze if i was in a dream or not. i kept going back and forth on that until i thought that i definitely wasn't in a dream because i but i got really confused because i didn't think my flashlight really hadn't melted. i ended up in this weird state for a long time going back and forth about whether i was dreaming or not and it was really uncomfortable. eventually i woke up and then thought for sure i wasn't dreaming because i thought my flashlight was definitely safe, but then i remembered how i couldn't figure out when i was dreaming if i was in a dream. i got really scared because i realized i may be losing my sense of what is real and what isn't. i could even be dreaming now even though i am convinced i am not. it made me think i need a totem like from inception so that i don't try and kill myself accidentally to get out of a dream.
