The first thing I remembered was the sound of the heart monitor beeping. The heart monitor and the other hospital room noises told me where I was. I didn't remember my name or how I got here. There were many other things I could not remember. A psychiatrist was scheduled to come see me and help me sort through it.
The psychiatrist went through all the same questions that I had been asked a hundred times. What was the last thing I remember; do I have any recollection of my family or where I lived? The answer to all her questions was "no." We agreed for the purposes of our meetings that she would call me Jane as in Jane Doe. I caught my reflection in the window and was thankful that my face was still wrapped in bandages. It was a horrible sight; one I could barely tolerate.
"Do you feel like you are healing?"
"I don't really know," I said. "The pain is less, but I can still only stay awake for an hour or so and they haven't let me out of bed yet."
"And how are you sleeping?"
"The medicine they give me helps a lot." I said after a long pause.
I thought she was going to ask why I paused but she moved on.
"I am not sure how much you have been told but let me tell you what is known. We have not been able to identify who you are. You were found barely alive in a horrible car accident and fire. You were a passenger in a car that crashed into a gas station. The police have been unable to confirm the identity of the driver, but documents found at the scene suggest he was a known kidnapper who escaped prison a year earlier. The "why and how" he escaped is still under investigation and the doctor who may have helped him escape has disappeared. Neither the doctor nor her husband and children have heard from her since the kidnapper's escape. The police believe you may have been a victim of the kidnapper. The police aren't sure you were kidnapped or when you may have been kidnapped. There not even sure if the other body at the crash seen, which was horribly burned, was the escapee."
"The doctors believe you're in your late twenties or early thirties. They also believe you have had a least one child. Does any of that spark a memory, especially the moment of childbirth?"
I sat there in shock. I had no memories to suggest it was true or not.
"A child? I have a child? I have no memory of having a child or any specific emotions regarding a child."
"There are a number of simple explanations for that. Are there things that seem familiar to you, maybe not a specific memory, but that you feel comfortable doing?"
"No, but I haven't been awake that long."
"It would be helpful if you paid attention to those feelings. Some things should seem familiar or natural, for example I can see you're left-handed. Is there anything in your dreams that seems familiar, maybe a clue we can use to help figure out who you are?"
"I don't think so."
"Well tell me about them."
"They are more like short little snippets of dreams. Some snippets seem more real than others and they usually involve sex. I am not sure how open you want me to be."
"I need you to me completely open with me."
"Sometimes, I feel like someone is playing with my vagina, rubbing their fingers up and down my clit, and penetrating me until I orgasm. Sometimes I feel someone playing with my breasts, sucking on them. I know I am asleep and dreaming but the orgasms are real enough."
"Could you be stimulating yourself?"
"Those dreams began before I woke up, before I could really move my arms and hands."
"Does it seem familiar?"
"That is another weird part, sometimes it seems very familiar, especially the orgasms."
"At your age, I am sure you've experienced orgasms before and masturbation. You said you experienced those dreams before you woke up, are there other dreams that started before you woke up?"
"You said to be open right? Many times, when someone is playing with my vagina, I have a man's penis in my mouth. Sometimes I am just sucking on the penis, and no one is touching me, but the more powerful dreams have both. These are all snippets, it's never one continuous dream. The weird part is I feel like I really love giving oral sex or sucking cock, and I can't wait until it explodes in my mouth so I can swallow his come. I hope that is not too open for you."
"Well, it is certainly a surprise. Does "sucking cock" feel familiar to you? Or do you have a sense of who's cock it is?"
"There is something familiar about sucking cock, but I feel like I should be on my knees and not in a hospital bed. My eyes are never open, so I have no idea whose cock it is. But I feel I should have my eyes open if that makes any sense?"
"Does it surprise you that you don't know whose cock it is?"
"Funny, I never thought about that before. I just felt happy sucking cock until it came in my mouth. Maybe I was just a cock sucking whore before the accident."
"Let's not jump to any conclusions as to who or what you were before the accident. When the man comes in your mouth, can you taste his semen and do you swallow it?"
"I never remember tasting it, but I do remember swallowing because that always seems like the best part."
"Tastes are one thing we don't normally sense in our dreams. Are those the only dreams you have had?"
"Yes, just those sex dreams."
The psychiatrist said she wanted to let me rest. I know I was beginning to yawn a lot. She came back a few days later.
"Since we last spoke, is there anything that seems familiar to you, maybe not a specific memory, but that you feel comfortable doing?"
