In the dream we had been discussing death, though I don’t remember you in it at all.
You described it as just ceasing to exist. Like sleeping without the dreams, just gone.
For whatever purpose I tried to imagine dying and not existing.
It worked for a short period in the dream, but I ultimately decided I didn’t like the idea.

It was supposed to be a trivial surgery, but something went wrong. The surgery went longer than expected and was more dangerous than he had been told. They told him what had happened after he woke up. To him, the time had been no time. The general anesthesia had collapsed his consciousness so that he didn’t experience the time. He didn’t experience the anxiety surrounding his surgery. He took an odd comfort from the idea that death was probably like that.
