I
fell asleep
on
the couch
Roland
left me there
12:30
a m
"Hi,
Mom!"
Jenna
is standing
across
the room
She
then plops herself
on
the couch
next
to me.
"It's
12:30 in the morning!"
I
say
not
too nicely.
"Sorry."
She
returns to her bed
I
think
maybe
I should get up
turn
down the heat
I'm
not really hot though
I
am glued to the chair
I
go back to sleep
1:30
a m
cats
in the yard
they
have woken me up before
The
neighbor's dog is barking
Cats
deserved to be barked at
Why
are they doing it in our yard anyway
We
certainly did not invite them
I
think
maybe
I should get up
turn
down the heat
I'm
not really hot though
I
am glued to the chair
I
go back to sleep
2:00
a m
neighbor's
dog continues to bark
is
there trouble outside
perhaps
he's just cold
why
do they have their dog outside anyway
I
don't remember ever
having
have heard him
disturb
my sleep before
I
do think that
he
is a lonely dog
I
think
maybe
I should get up
turn
down the heat
I'm
not really hot though
I
am glued to the chair
I
go back to sleep
2:30
a m
covers
off
I
am boiling
I
have to get up
I
turn down the heat
and
return to the couch.
I
don't know how many more times
I
got up
or
for what reasons
Somehow
I ended up
on
the opposite side of the room
in
my dream
For
in real life
the
only furniture
across
the room
is
a small book case
which
I would break
in
reality
if
I were to sit
or
lye on it.
But
I can see Jenna
sitting on the couch
I
see the time on the clock
says
8:00 a m
which
means she has missed
her
bus
"Jenna! Get your shoes on!"
In
my dream
I'll
have to drive her
In
my dream
I
have another engagement
It
takes me too long to get dressed
"You'll
have to ask
somebody
else to drive you"
In
real life
Roland
is the only other person
But
in my dream
are
all three of her brothers
and
my youngest brother
She
can get a ride
with
one of them
I
am still getting dressed
when
Roland returns
from
taking her to school
In
real life
I
look at the clock again
It
is 5:15 a m
It
is almost time for Roland
to
get up to go to work
I
am so tired
but
cannot return to sleep
until
Jenna leaves
to
go catch the bus
I
need to wrap up
this
post
and
go fix breakfast
for
Roland and Jenna
I
will return to sleep
later
on.
