CAMELOT FANTASIES

However, one time I was crossing this building and I noticed for the first time that there were some very strong pillars in front of it. It was probably part of the building design I suppose. What bothered me was the fact that I couldn't tell for the life me if they were always there.  I thought they were never there and I thought it was the first time I was seeing these pillars in the real world, but they couldn't have made it overnight. That's virtually impossible. And I walk that street every day, so how could I not notice those before? It then begged the question, was I dreaming the same street without the pillars then? Possibly. Or did I just simply not notice these before? So there are things like that happen to me sometimes. On one hand, I am extremely detail oriented; on another, I don't notice it if there's an elephant in the room. Or perhaps my dream state might just be overlapping my real world at times. In any case, it's very interesting to say the least.

I have experiences like this, too. I also feel that I can be extremely detailed oriented, but at other times, I won't notice something that is blatantly obvious. I've never heard anyone else admit to this, so it was good to hear.

I've often attributed this to the fact that my mind is constantly busy and I am always thinking of both future, present, and past things. So, much so that I often miss tangible things that are right in my face.

Interesting thread.
