Meditation and Fiction

I'm having a hard time getting into fiction lately. I blame meditation (specifically, Vipassana).

Fiction is all about entering dreams. Vipassana is basically all about declining the invitation to enter dreams. I'm kinda doing Vipassana all the time.

The act of entering fiction feels uncomfortable, awkward and a bit offensive. Lately.

Also, consider the act of entering and exiting fiction. Everybody does it all the time. It's important. A movie is fun fiction. Knowledge is useful fiction. Some say that this is a fiction, this world that we are experiencing here. I imagine it's like hearing voices in the wind, and then having the voices tell you a story, and then getting lost in the story.
