The Shifting of My Reality

I have read many articles concerning the "symptoms" of Ascension. Many of them are all too familiar. Some of them are pleasant and I look forward to the expansion of their experience. Some of them are not so comfortable, and I sometimes wonder if I might be able to endure them.

Recently - actually, for some time now, but more frequently, recently - I have begun to have a sense of the "real world" not being all that real at all. Some of my dreams tend to confuse me, because they seem far more "real" than the world to which I wake afterwards.

Part of me (I guess the "rational" part) worries about my state of mind. Am I losing it entirely? I mean, "real" is "real", right? Another part of me says that I need to trust the experience, no matter how strange it seems - since strange is the order of the day when the entire world as we know it is under reconstruction from its very basis onward and upward.

I guess since I find myself in the warm embrace of others who are treading this frontier path, I finally felt I've found a forum in which to ask the question:

Do any others feel a sense of walking through a dream state in their waking hours? It is almost a sensation of being awake when I am asleep and being unconscious when I am awake... things seems surrealistically superimposed on an imitation background. Sometimes things seem almost TOO real, and I am many times brought to tears just by the experience of looking at a tree or watching the spiraling flight of a hawk in the field across from our house. At other times, nothing seems to have any true substance, like if I blinked it could all just cease to be entirely, and I could open my eyes to an entirely new view that I have never beheld before.

The "real" world is becoming more and more insubstantial to me as the days roll by.

It all sounds far too crazy even to me ~ but I figure if there is any place I can ask this highly unusual question, it might be here. It has been happening enough lately as to start to disturb me, and I guess I'd just like to be validated that perhaps this is part and parcel of the process. If not... I don't know. I suppose I'll worry about that if I find that I am having a singular experience!
