Dreamt I lost the ability to direct my own attention

I'm standing in my kitchen re-reading the same passage of Marcus Aurelius, but the words keep rearranging themselves before I can finish a sentence. Every time I try to focus on one line, a half-familiar voice from the next room finishes it for me — not hostile, just too helpful. I wake up feeling like my attention isn't mine anymore, like it's something I'm renting. Strange how a dream can make you question something you never thought to ask about, like who exactly is doing the reading.
