Versions of Reality Quotes in Dark Matter

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

No, I remind myself, I'm hallucinating that I'm naked and strapped to a gurney. Because none of this is real. (2.45)

We can't blame Jason for being confused initially, as we ourselves don't know how we'd handle things if we woke up one day and everything in our lives was completely different. How do you think you would react?

Quote #2

Or—is it more plausible that a tumor in my brain has turned my world upside down? (3.133)

At first, Jason is convinced that his confusion about the nature of reality is based on some sort of traumatic brain injury. That, oddly enough, is a fairly logical explanation. And it turns out to be nowhere near as crazy as the truth.

Quote #3

"We all live day to day completely oblivious to the fact that we're a part of a much larger and stranger reality than we can possibly imagine." (5.459)

Ain't that the truth. Although Jason has always known all of this intellectually, we doubt he understood the full extent of it until he stood face-to-face with the infinite span of the multiverse. That kind of thing tends to really expand your brain.
