I woke up this morning at 7:20 AM, which was 25 minutes before I needed to awaken, so I drifted back to sleep. I had a lovely dream that felt as though it were hours worth of activity and adventure, and upon awakening I was concerned that I had slept through my alarm, but I had only been asleep for 4 minutes. Very strange.
Dream time and real time aren’t related to each other.
