i dreamed of a guy last night that fell from a tall tower but i woke before he died. nonetheless he died as i understood when i went back to the dream. if i had stayed in the dream could i have prevented the fall? but it seemed the dream started with him falling. i didn't want him to fall. i liked him though i don't know who he was he seemed good. if i had stayed in the dream i couldn't have stopped him could i? but in dreams you can do anything, why did i flee? yes i could have saved him, i'm trying the defense of rational waking life. back in the dream however, though i know he died, he was alive to me. i wonder if other people saw him? other dreamers. i wonder if he was a ghost appearing only to me. did he exist before my dreams? i think i dreamed of him before, he felt familiar, though i never met him in waking life or in the dream. i just watched him. i don't remember him ever looking at me. maybe i was in his dream and he was dreaming something else, like falling.
