hallucinogenic rewind

You know the way with PC games, like real time games, when you make an arse of things you can go back to the point of your last save and everything’s ok. I mean, all the mistakes you made, it’s like they never happened. You can probably isolate one particular blunder, a moment of bad judgement, which was definitely where it went wrong. So you go back to a saved version, start from there, and turn left where formerly you turned right.

I am hoping to do that for real. One night, I'm really out of it, I come to on the floor of a bedsit in the mid 70s, and the whole of my adult life has been a late adolescence drug induced dream. "Oh wow," I'd think. That awareness of a colossal dream experience, only dimly remembered.
