We almost always 'live above ourselves', trying to anticipate what we can't anticipate, guessing what we can't guess, assuming what we can't assume. We exist in this thing called 'adult mode', in other words. The more we do this the more problems we make for ourselves however, since living above ourselves (and not be 'on the level' with ourselves) is the same thing as 'living an unreal life'.
