I don’t have a patricularly annoying alarm. Well, it beeps and all, but not annoyingly or loudly enough to wake me up when it first beeps. So, in light of this, I’ll state that I take a little while to wake up to my alarm; This brings me to the funny story of the morning.
This morning was no different than most, except I was dreaming, and I remembered it! Why? Well you have my good friend Mr. Alarm Clock to thank for that! (Thanks ‘Larm!) So anyways, on to the story. I was dreaming lightly, because there was this nagging noise in the room saying “Beep! Beep! Beep!” What could this mean? A cryptic message from a far away galaxy? Not exactly….
It was (oh duh) the Alarm Clock!
So now that I’m hearing this alarm clock, naturally it comes in to my dreams and makes itself at home! “I’ll just take the spare room!” It would have said. Actually it was just saying “Beep beep beep.” So anyways, I let it in, and it started playing mind tricks on me.
“Turn it off!” Was the thought I had. Pretty good one don’t you think? I thought it was, so I proceeded to, in my dreamy state, turn it off! Fine and dandy; turn over in my bed, reach for the switch and turn it off. “Now I can go back to sleep!” Right? Ummm wrong.
You see, I didn’t realize it yet, but the problem with this scenario was that I wasn’t really awake. All of this was done in dreamworld. So when I turned off the alarm, the noise didn’t stop!
Now I have to think up where that noise is comming from. “Ah ha! Must be [name omitted]’s alarm!” So I went and turned his alarm off, which was, conveniently placed on top of the wooden bunkbed in my room.
The noise didn’t stop!!!
This is when my senses finally kicked in; I finally realized, after drifting slightly in to wakefulness “I’m asleep!”
Yes, I was asleep. Not only was I asleep, but I was sleeping, thinking I was influencing my world when, I probably wasn’t even moving at all. So, with this new found knowledge, I wake up, and turn off the alarm. Silence. Ahhh finally!
And that was funny…. Laugh.
