I’ve been thinking for a while about how lots of people say “The world feels surreal,” we “died in 2012” and other things like that. It got to me because I also felt that there were nuggets of truth to that, and it kind of disturbed me.

Well one day my family went on vacation to a rural location by a lake, no internet or cell towers nearby, just enjoying nature and some local activities for several days. While there and coming back I felt like a god for a few days and life felt so much happier, colors felt more real, I felt so much more confident and carefree, and once we made it back all the life I got started fading. I just chalked it up to a fun vacation. But I started noticing any time I go to a rural place, on a boat in the middle of a lake, or in an airplane, I feel this way again and it lasts for some time after. I theorize it’s cell towers, and reminded me of that story of all those elementary student that got cancer in Oregon after a cell tower (no link, I promise a DuckDuckGo search will pull it up if someone wants to be a Good Samaritan) was put in their playground. We may not be getting cancer, but it has to at LEAST be fucking up our neurochemistry to some degree. Anyone else experience the same things?

Oh also, and indicator I found when you are off the grid, is that you will get wild fucking dreams. Any time I leave town and sleep my dreams feel intense, powerful and like they have meaning. Anyone who experienced this will know what I mean.
