I always thought that I was special, had a really unique talent or that my future had something very interesting for me. While I wasn't really sure what and why, I had that intuition that there was just something I was supposed to do, that would simply be extraordinary.

It always felt as if I was guided by a voice in my head, a voice that told me what to do, how to feel, how to act or how to be. But I knew it wasn't me or my mind, as that voice was something different. It told me things I didn't know, things that somehow always came to be true. It was so accurate that I always had to agree with it, after agreeing it in my mind. Like I had three separate minds, two of my own and one that was some other mind. But I was usually under its influence, my both minds working to process and analyze my third mind.

I usually refer to it as lumino, hinting that it is enlightened and kind of knows stuff. So lumino keeps telling me all sort of stuff, like what to do, what's going on, how do I do things in everyday life, like he just guides my whole life.

"Well I know about you because you were made by my master, and I shall stick with you until you've completed the objectives",

interrupted lumimo, and I'd add: like always. He keeps talking about a weird objective I'm supposed to do, and that I'm created by some master of his, and while sometimes it's best to remain oblivious to his random blabber, I'm curious about this master and that objective.

My days were drifting smoothly, with someone occasionally giving me a treat or satisfying me. And lumino kept warning me that it was about time for my journey.

"What journey?", I said, sounding a little childish, for now I was accustomed to living with humans and adapted to their world.

" remember you aren't a human! You may appear like one but you aren't",

so simple were lumino's words and it always made me wonder if he told the truth.

(Well, he decides not to answer my question)

Maybe he was telling the truth, I felt it always, I could no longer be confined to this place. I longed to be free and to explore, I kind of felt suffocated here.

"That's because it's hard to maintain a human form for so long", interrupted lumino.

" whatever ", I added arrogantly.

Well there's this thing that's hard for me to explain, like an ultimate state of mind. It usually happens all of a sudden when I'm tired, during that time I enter some sort of trance state, during which images and voices flow through me, while I'm always aware of what I hear and see during that state, the things I see and hear convince me to the core, sometimes being perplexing but always so revolutionary. The sad part?
I end up forgetting everything after I wake up.

Lumino keeps telling me its the cosmological information and that it always exists, it flows through every living entity. Some entities can understand it while some cannot, some entities are more absorbent to this information while some simply aren't.

" that's true, pay attention to this cosmological free information. It's infinite and there's a lot to learn, it flows through you every living moment of your life and if you're not really preoccupied you may perceive them as what humans refer to the - 'revolutionary idea'. Your brain is like the receiver that can tune into this information and make use of it. Since while half-asleep, you're not into thinking anything much, this information flow is very much noticeable at that time. But since it usually occurs between those REM sleep cycles it usually is kind of difficult to retain. We call it dreiz's information, after the entity who first discovered this phenomenon."

(Lumino keeps interrupting when I talk, my bad.)

"That was really a long one lumino, but makes sense". I tried to sound smart, but sometimes I wonder how crazy it'd be to talk to yourself like that.

(Maybe not yourself but that's not you, right? That's lumino who just happens to be a voice within you, he's not you).

Well, meet my second mind. It has a habit to kind of correct me, but it's my mind. I call it 'Fred 2'.

(Damn, why 2, Fred? We're one)

Oh yes. But no, I'd call you Fred 2.

(You suffer from multiple personality disorder, Fred! get over it!)

''Shut your mouth, Fred 2 or I'd say Fred's own mind. That's not it, I'm really an attached entity and I entirely have my own mind", said an irritated Lumino.

Lumino caught my back-of-the-mind thought, but I can't really help it, he knows all my thoughts and what I think, after all he's within me and monitors me.

"Well, both of you be quiet!", I angrily interrupted them, while it's quite foolish since I'm the one, in the argument. I want to end it.

Hey, and I forgot about you! So you're listening to me, are you another new entity? That wants to stay here with me?
It's nice, I need some company and I hope you'll stick around for sometime and also accompany me to my adventure. And help me with these two ediots!

( stop joking around Fred, you're calling yourself an idiot! Silly!)

*laughing like an old joker*

" kid you are surely an idiot ", I heard lumino say that right after Fred 2 was done. And he laughed like a complete fool I'd say.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself!

(Fred he's listening to us, he knows )

Oh yes, but I'm Fred and with me is lumino and..

(No Fred we're one)

That's it! No way there's Fred 2 also.

(Idiot!)

And I'm some sort of entity of some multiverse! Well you may not know what it is but you'll soon discover!

(To be honest, Fred doesn't know it too)

" do I explain ", as usual, lumino wanted to explain.

" no I need to sleep now, I'm tired." And I really was. Saying the same I dived into my comfortable mess and off I was, into my world and Fred 2's.
