I went into a deep sleep for a couple of hours. At one point I woke up. I didn't know what time it was. I looked over my shoulder towards the window and saw sunlight coming through.
WTF? I thought to myself. Is the sun already rising? I asked myself.
Bleary eyed I looked at my alarm clock, it looked like it said 5:57 am.
I panicked immediately. I thought I had overslept! I jumped out of bed in complete panic mode.
I grabbed my pants and was putting them on when I thought I heard the voices of children outside.
That was strange, no children play at this time of the morning in my neighborhood.
I put my reading glasses on and looked at the alarm clock again. It was NINE-FIFTY-SEVEN PM. I wasn't late! I still had six more hours to sleep!
I was so fuck'n relieved!
I melted back into bed.
About a two week ago I had a dream. In real life I have two alarms to wake me up. One is set for my wake-up time, and the second alarm is set to sound fifteen minutes later.
ReplyDeleteIn my dream I heard the first alarm sound. I turned it off and I lay in bed, waiting for the second alarm to sound, notifying me that I "really" have to get out of bed!
So, I dreamed that the first alarm had sounded. Suddenly, I thought to myself, "I didn't hear the second alarm!" I have to get up!
So I immediately sat up. I turned on the light. I was just about to start putting on my clothes when I looked across the room and saw my alarm clock. The time was 11:38 pm. WTF! It's only 11:38 pm? I picked up my cell phone and saw the time. Yep, it was only 11:38 pm. I still had several hours before wake-up time!
FUCK! I couldn't believe it. I was positive that the first alarm had sounded. But I had only dreamed it. The first alarm had never sounded.
Unbelievable! I thought to myself. Fucking unbelievable.
I lay back down, threw the blankets over myself and eventually went back to sleep.
But I did lose an hour of sleep. I had gotten up so suddenly that I spooked my sleep away. I had trouble falling back asleep
At 2 am Wednesday morning I woke up. I lay in bed for a while. I was positive that my alarm had sounded. After a long while I got spooked. I thought I had lay in bed too long and was going to be late. I immediately sat up wide awake. I looked across the room and saw the clock. It was only 2 in the morning! I still had time to sleep! Damn! I melted back into bed again.
