Guess what? More sleep thoughts

Lately I’ve been feeling that I’m smarter when I’m asleep  - completely disconnected from the world and able to think untethered. Then I wake up and everything zooms back out of focus and onto what’s going on day to day.
  Anyway, here’s another slightly disturbing idea I stopped myself falling asleep fully so I could write down because it seemed so strange:I’m reading a newspaper headline, and start reading first paragraph then look up to a friend and say, in a matter of fact voice, “I’d read more, but it’s blood”.
Even my half-dreams are pretentious now.
