Paradox

Waking again, twilight turning to dawn.
My mind is boggled, senses blurred. A new
dimension, another day. Will this day be the
same as yesterday? Or the day before?
Or tomorrow? Where in space and time
and in which new dimension have I awakened?
Am I the same person that gave in to my right
side last night? Will I feel the same? Will I look,
hear and see the same as yesterday? In a
night time dream, I woke into a familiar place
and time to familiar sights and sounds.
Though all feel somewhat alien.
Now, fully awake, another day a different
dimension. Changed from yesterday by
last nights dreams. Night time dreaming
about today. And daydreaming about tonight.
Is all real or an illusion?
