I'm lying in bed alone. Wish I weren't. Start picturing my sister's friend Daphne lying beside me. She's slender, long-faced, smart, bisexual, and... here. In my bed.

At first she's smoky and faint, light as foam to the touch, but she steadily materializes next to me. I kiss her all over, nibbling her nipples with delight. The tastiest ghost I ever met. Daphne purrs and kisses me in ticklish spots, so I start licking her clit. She squirms around till she can suck and lick me too. For a long time, we rock and wrestle in pleasure.

Daphne begs me "Put some fingers in!" She's still rather dry, so I lick them first and slip them in and start spreading them. When I rub her hard, she bucks and sort of mews and gnaws the head of my cock. So I stretch her labia a lot, get a bit rough. Not trying to hurt, but stretch. Almost Rolfing, not petting!

And then, as I'm about to spurt into her mouth, she murmurs "Ow, too much. Overstimulated." She fades out and is gone! Lost the signal.

"Damn," I think. "Gotta beware of overstimulation." And wake, with a full, throbbing penis.

And a full, throbbing brain.

NOTES IN THE MORNING

• Daphne = the sexual directness and confidence I lack. The real Daphne goes for what she wants: she once beat me to a girl I had a crush on--got her into bed where I was too shy to really try. And the girl considered herself straight, too! Did Daphne worry about that? She knew what she wanted...
• Warning: what makes ME back off isn't fear or guilt, but simple overstimulation! A sensory thing, not a neurotic one. Daphne wasn't scared--she was as disappointed as I was at the fade-out!
• Action: Seek easy-going girls to date--who don't like drama, who don't play rough. Pick quiet dating events--a hike, a cafe, a museum, not concerts or loud clubs or intense movies. Keep it simple! Because I'm a Daphne. If I'm overstimulated, I'll fade out.

YEARS LATER

This turned out to be literally, medically true. I discovered I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a mutation causing weak connective tissue and a host of weird symptoms. A lot of us zebras (as we call ourselves) are high-functioning autistics too--Aspies with a clear genetic cause. I can handle strange & wild environments or sensory deprivation, but in busy, loud, or intense situations I tire out fast--overstimulated. The dream was more literal than I knew.
