The twighlight Zone

Sometimes you can wake up and believe that the day you have just started is a completely different day and you can never shake that feeling off even when you are certain of the right day. Well we all get that sometimes but wouldn't it be weird if u actually wake up one day and start doing things that you just can't remember doing at all.
Imagine talking on the phone and saying something then having absolutely no idea what you said a minute later, or talking on the phone to a friend who is reminding you of a conversation you had 2 days ago and you having no idea what she was talking about. Maybe you would say that was because your mind was somewhere else at that time but when you are commenting on something that you just saw on T.V and have no idea that u just made that comment then you are definitely in a twilight zone.
The human brain can really deceive you most of the time, have you ever been in a place where people start reminding you of something and you have no idea what they are talking about then after a while you start visualizing the whole thing. Well studies show that a mind can be influenced that way, it's like when you keep repeating a lie to yourself that at the end you yourself believe it and it becomes a part of your reality.
I have a friend of mine who tends to forget a lot and one day I decided to play that trick on her, I kept on reminding her of something that she was never really a part of she hesitated at first but at the end she came about. At the end of the conversation I told her that it wasn't true and that it was a trick, she got somewhat upset and told me not to do that again since she tends to forget a lot and that gets her really confused.
The point is I believe this is what really goes on almost everyday in our lives in various fields. If people can reach a point where they can easily doubt their own mind then they are easily manipulated. For some, living in the twilight zone is very common to them, you see we are all slaves (I know it is a strong word) to our perceptions, so if someone has control of your perception then they will have control over you.
Take the radical Islamic groups for example they give people a whole new way to see the world they feed their brains with a certain pattern to see the world so when they look around then they perceive the world not with their own brains anymore, but with the brains of those who manipulated them.
Actually, why go that far, if you see a couple where for example the guy is "whipped" and the girl almost has full control that is mainly because she has manipulated his perception, in other words she made him live in a twilight zone that she had created. In order to do that she would have to make him believe things even if they are not true, and if he doubts his mind easily then she is almost in control.
Why do we let ourselves get really caught up either in our own twilight zone or in that of others, could it be because we lost our sense of being and we lost our own connection with our mind; is it easier to let other people show us the "right" way of existing or maybe we just don't know the right state of existing.
The next time you find yourself in a situation where you feel that you don't know exactly where you are, what you are doing or even not sure of what you are doing or did, then maybe you are in a twilight zone and maybe it was your own doing so why not try and listen to your own mind for a change and filter out any other influence or outside perception, maybe then you will really find yourself instead of letting people show you how you should become.
