"You don't have a brain tumor," said my best friend, who, conveniently, was also a neurologist. "Are you sure?" I asked. "Yes, Emma. Don't look so disappointed." "I'm not! I just..you know, my vision was wonky last night. Then I spaced out driving into the city today." Granted, last night I'd accidentally turned on the superbright flashlight while it was aimed right at my face, but still.. the retinal afterimage had taken some time to subside. As for spacing out, I drove into Chicago a few times a week, so it was normal that I didn't take note of every detail on the forty-five minute drive. Still, I couldn't help asking, "Are you sure it's not parahypnagogia?"
