Age creeps up upon us without much fanfare. It's like being younger and having the "slows" You remember? when you overdid it, you would have a day of the "slows" following. No one ever mentioned that aging is a progression of one day of the "slows" following another.
Even dreaming I've found can be a case of the "slows". I was dreaming about being at a party but needing to go to the bathroom - really really bad.... The dream must have gone on for a good while - because I clearly remember visiting at least 4 different bathrooms in my dream. I finally awoke to be somewhat surprised that the uncomfortable need to pee had followed me out of the dream. Took a few seconds for the "slows" to disappear so i could pull my brain together enough to jump out of bed and take care of things.
It's not that the brain and "me" that have changed. It's just that I've got the "slows". Some days more that others!
