Bang! What Was That?
It was a hot flash.
I feel like a boogie coming on.
Dance, dance, dance
….and then I woke up.
What a strange dream. I was in a disco.
I thought I heard a big bang.
I'm confused
I go for breakfast. I put some toast in the toaster.
Bang!
Has the fuse broke?
I don't know because I've just woken up again.
That's a relief. It means the toaster is working.
Bang!
Maybe it isn't. I woke up again.
I'm not going to try for a 3rd time. I'll make a cup of tea instead.
Bang!
Ok, what is going on? I wake up again. What am I doing wrong?
Am I really awake or am I dreaming?
No toast. No tea.
Ok, I'm struggling with the lack of tea.
I put on the kettle.
Relief. It works. I have a nice cup of tea.
Good morning to me.
Shall I chance the toaster?
Actually, it's not really a chance because the kettle worked. I must be awake.
Bang!
However, I'm not waking up. It must really be broken.
I go to the trip switch.
Bang!
I've woken up again.
How can I break this cycle?
"It's already broken."
Who said that
"Your bicycle is broken."
I didn't mean that cycle. How do I break the dream and bang cycle?
No answer.
I'm going to make tea. I have to have tea
Nice tea.
However, if a voice is speaking to me and making a stupid joke about a bicycle, I must be dreaming.
I wake up again.
This time, I do nothing. I stop and reflect.
Then I remember something from my childhood. The day the tooth fairy forgot to take my tooth and replace it with a coin. I've never forgotten about this.
I check under my pillow.
50p.
The tooth fairy is a little late. But if the tooth fairy comes this late, I must be dreaming
I'm still here though. May as well make a cup of tea.
Nice tea.
Let's try the toaster.
Nice toast.
Another tea.
Lovely.
Let's take a walk.
