So Abby and I start planning our wedding and this goes on for months
And months of very specific things, locations and dresses and
Flowers, and I know this isn't gonna happen and my breathing gets
Worse and my sleepwalking gets worse and Abby can sense it, and
One night she just doesn't come home. We were supposed to meet
Up for dinner at eight, and it's nine and ten and she's not
Picking up her phone and it's eleven and twelve and I'm frantically
Calling everyone we know and no one knows where she is and it's
One and two and I just start wandering the streets of our
Neighborhood aimlessly, hoping that I'll find her. And at three
Twenty, she walks in the door and she's crying and she's drunk
And I say "Abby, where were you? You have to call." And she said "
If you're not gonna marry me, then I
Have to figure something else out."
A few weeks later, I moved out and it was for the best. You know, she
Met someone else and they're still together today, and I met someone
Else and we're still together today, but the biggest difference was
That my new girlfriend was not okay with the jackal. I was like "
There's a jackal in the room!" She said "There's no jackal and you
Have to see a doctor!" And I said "I will! But right now
I'm really busy." That's always been my excuse in my life
When I don't want to deal with something, I point out how
Busy I am. In my mind, it makes perfect sense. I'm like "
This person doesn't realize how busy I am. If they knew how
Busy I was, of course they wouldn't want me to see a doctor."
One night we fall asleep watching the movie Fight Club. You can see
Where this is going. If you haven't seen the film, there's a scene
Where Edward Norton's hand is held down by Brad Pitt, and Brad Pitt
Is gonna pour acid on his hand. And I had a dream that that was my
Hand. And I pulled it out of the way and I sprinted out of our
Bedroom and I sprinted out of our apartment and I even threw a
Chest of drawers in my wake, like in an action film, 'cause I knew
Brad Pitt is very cunning. And I sprint down the hall and I hit the
Elevator button and my girlfriend runs out and she goes "Michael!
You're dreaming!" And I was like "Brad Pitt! I am so sorry." And she
Said "You have to see a doctor!" And I said "I will!" And I didn't!
But I continued to read The Promise of Sleep. I skipped ahead
To a chapter on sleep disorders. There are seventy-eight
Known sleep disorders, things that range from sleep apnea to
Night terrors to narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is terrifying 'cause
There are people who fall asleep at any time for any reason
There are female narcoleptics who fall asleep the moment they
Reach orgasm. I was thinking you could call these women "men."
And I find a disorder called REM behavior disorder, where people
Have a dopamine deficiency. That's the chemical that's released
From your brain into your body when you fall asleep that paralyzes
Your body so that you don't do what's in your brain. People who
Have this are commonly running away from some kind of demon or
Wild animal or jackal, and people who have this in rare instances
Have been known to kill the person they're in bed with while
Remaining asleep. I know, so in other words, a guy would have a
Dream that there's a burglar at the door, and he would take a bat
And he would beat the burglar to death and he would wake up and it's
Not a burglar, it's his wife and she's dead. And I read this, and I
Thought "Maybe this is what I have." And I still didn't see a doctor
And months of very specific things, locations and dresses and
