Everybody has experienced the feeling of waking up in the morning and not knowing where they are. Or at least I hope a lot of people have experienced it, because a lot of the next paragraph is going to sound pretty crazy if that is not the case. So, you wake up, and you are kind of lost. Usually this comes right after a dream that is a little too real. This happens to me during one particular dream sequence I've had. In my dream, I am still in college (I graduated in 2001) and I am about to walk into a test. As I go into the test, I realized I have no idea of the subject matter. I also find out that this test will determine if I graduate or not. I curse myself for having spent the night before getting tanked, stoned, or chasing co-ed tail, but just before pen goes to paper, I wake up. I look at my surroundings, and I realize that I am in my true reality. The sun is coming through the window in my bedroom, and I have to get to work.

Now imagine if you woke up and you were in your alternate reality? Wouldn't you be so confused, especially if you could remember what happened in your "real" life? This is what faced Tom Baldwin in the last episode of the 4400. He wakes up, and everything is different. His son is actually affectionate, and when he goes into work, nobody knows who the 4400 are, including Diana. What the hell is going on? Was the entire thing a dream?

I know what you're going to say, and the whole "what if this whole story we concocted was really a dream" idea has been kicked around in many a television show. I remember when they suggested Buffy was simply crazy and imagining her vampire slayer stylings, a lot of fans of the show almost completely went off the deep end, and to be honest, it is usually a plot line that shows pull out in their fourth or fifth season when things are moving slow.
