NWD

while stumbling around at 5am to find my laptop (to transcribe a hilarious dream), I had the first-ever experience of my “Eyes playing tricks on me;” a small bag of fertilizer appeared to be a creature posed to play piano, which (only for an instant) appeared to turn around at look at me, being startled by my appearance.  Immediately following this experience I *also* felt a sensation of “Hairs standing up on the back of my head,” something else I’d read about (or more commonly, read as a narrative device in a novel) but never personally experienced.

All in all the last hour has been spooky, but less so than I would have speculated given the circumstances.
