I have been in China for the Boxer Rebellion, in the trenches in Bastogne during WWII, in feudal Japan as a courtesan, a slave on a ship to a new land, and a romantic in the 19th century. To joke, I have led quite the checkered life. I can go to sleep as an affluent yuppie in the 80’s and wake up a Soviet dissident in the 70’s. My waking life sends me through all genders, ages, cultures, classes, creeds, and perhaps most confusing of all, through all time lines.

I have been the rich man, the poor pauper, the ugly man, the beautiful woman, the privileged suburbanite, and the disenfranchised immigrant. (I was genuinely happy in that body and didn't want to shift out of it.) Eventually I would drowse and awaken in an entirely new body. Suffice it to say, this is always a jarring experience.īy now you’re probably asking why don’t I just try and stay awake if the constant shifting is so bad and my answer to that is, don’t you think I haven’t tried? The longest I have managed to stay awake was a week straight. I don’t transform into a new person while I sleep, that would be crazy, I wake up in someone’s body, hundreds maybe thousands of miles away. I guess I should elaborate a little more, so I’ll give you an example: At one time I was a teenage burnout living in California, I drifted off to sleep and I woke up a homeless man trying to survive on the streets of Moscow. No, every time I fall asleep, I wake up a different person. It isn’t something as simple as falling asleep and waking up in a different mood or mindset. You see, every time I fall asleep, I wake up as some one else. I have a most curious condition that has made my life very, let’s just say unpredictable. Let’s get the craziness out of the way first. God I wish I were climbing-the-walls, toys-in-the-attic crazy, but something deep within me is telling me that I’m sane.

I am going to tell you something, and I know you are going to think that I’m crazy and maybe you’re right. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.”
