5:20 AM

I had the strangest dream today, Or rather,  a very EXHAUSTING dream. I had gone to bed at 10:40 pm the night before and slept until 4:20 am When I awoke, I glanced at the clock and thinking the clock said 5:20, I got up and was about to take a shower until I realized Seminary doesn't start until 6:00. So I still had an hour to sleep. Feeling pretty dumb, I went back to bed and fell asleep almost instantly. I then dreamed I had gotten up at 5:20, took a shower, ate an orange, gone to Seminary, an hour later, came home from Seminary, went back to bed and fell asleep.

Now, I have vivid dreams and often have a hard time discriminating reality from fiction. So needless to say, when my alarm aroused me at 5:20, I was thoroughly confused and began to question my alarm wondering why it was going off. After a grueling moment of intense mind-racking contemplation, I came to the conclusion that it was not a dream and that I had already gone to Seminary. The clocks must be wrong or something.

And So I inched back into bed. About 10 minutes later, I got the notion that if I had already gone to Seminary, It would not be dark outside. Realizing my tragic and costly blunder, I quickly jumped in the shower, ate an orange, rushed to Seminary, an hour later, came home, crawled back to bed and collapsed in complete and utter exhaustion. Falling asleep had never been so easy with the knowledge that I may rest.

When my alarm went off at 5:20, and I awoke once more...

Woe is me.
