Dream or Reality...?

My story.

Lately, I'm encountering some strange things. And that day, it was strange from the daytime onward.

Usually I don't go outside much during the time when the sun is out, but I intended to go shopping because I was running out of food, so I reluctantly headed off to the nearby supermarket. That was when I heard somebody screaming in a very loud voice.

'What, what? What was that?!' I thought, and started walking in the direction of that voice. At an apartment building not far off from my house, an older lady was rattling her key in the doorknob and screaming "Hey!! Hey!! Hey!!"
Furthermore, that was the loud voice I had heard nearby.
I thought it suspicious, but it was a marvelous thing, all of the people coming and going around me were indifferent. They didn't even look at the old lady, they didn't even stop, they kept walking just like they didn't hear anything at all...

'What in the world...' I was thinking, and when I looked in the old lady's direction again, nobody was there, as if she had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
For some reason I had an unpleasant feeling, and when I went home from shopping I suddenly felt a terrible drowsiness. I took off my coat and put the shopping bags down in the entranceway, and just like that I went to my room to stretch out and sleep in my futon. When I woke up I was drenched with sweat and somehow my body was aching all over.

.............

When I had my palm against my face while wiping sweat, I was dumbfounded. The black bead bracelet I usually wear on my left wrist was on my right wrist. Had I been half asleep? The bead bracelet I usually wear with it wasn't there. In the end, the pain in my body disappeared before I knew it and my bad mood disappeared too.

I don't quite understand, it's a difficult story. I'll say this first of all, the pattern of your actions is like a vampire. Isshi... with this story, I'm tending to think you were half asleep. Because it can't be read as though you're connecting unrelated things. At the beginning of the story, I think it's like everyone is passing by and intentionally not listening, or looking... Doesn't it have the distinct significance that it's because you like scary things that you looked? And then the woman just... went into the apartment building. After that you have a struggle with objectivity.
