Everyone has moments when they struggle to remember, was that detail real, or did I dream it? The main character of this short story would start with a similar experience, but then continue going through a series of surreal dreamscapes that lend more and more confusion to what details and memories are real, and which come from dreams.
The story can draw on situations where memory is typically a little fuzzy (drinking, fights) and on behavioral routines, where an action is taken with barely any thought. Perhaps cues occur in unusual contexts or unexpected times, maybe the main character said something automatically but doesn't remember. These habits could be triggered within the dreamscape, easily confusing memories of the action that really happened in the real-life habit loop.
By the end of the book, the reader, too, could be left wondering what was a dream and what was really the character's experience.
