It's like a package that gets delivered to the wrong house.

I feel bad sometimes for whoever gets mine, but maybe they are waking up as I do whenever this happens, thinking wait a minute now, that's not mine!.

I also get nightmare deliveries from alternate universe selves where I haven't been so lucky. I rarely have pleasant dreams so I suppose in most of the multiverse I'm homeless, a hermit, or dead.

My wife tells me pessimists don't live as long, which is not helpful and only adds to my worries.

It doesn't seem fair that you are having these nightmares.
