dream

standing with a psychologist and introducing her to a friend who is a mute, can only make sounds that are unintelligible (generally he seems slightly deranged and/or autistic but a good friend) eventually after a whole conversation about him she hands me a paper which to my sinking horror reveals that my friend does not exist, that I had imagined him the whole time - it gets worse: the friend who doesn't exist is not the dumb mute I was telling her about but the one who I thought I had been this whole time! suddenly I realize that I am really the dumb mute and the other me vanishes, I am left struggling to speak but only able to force out a few incomprehensible sounds as though my mouth were sown shut or I had no mouth...
