….A BAD DREAM IN THE NIGHT .

When people start to tell you about their dreams, you think: No! Stop! I don’t want to
hear about your dreams. That is boring! It is not cool to talk about dreams! Maybe you
smile politely, but you just want them to shut up. However, I had
a very strange dream last night. It was so weird that I must tell
you about it. In my dream, I really needed a pee. I was on a
quiet street. I don’t know where I was going. It was dark, night
time. I looked at the houses on the street
and I saw a house with a cat flap. I walked
towards the house and – I went in through
the cat flap! I am nice and tall, but I got
in through the cat flap, no problem. Uh-oh! I immediately saw a
huge black dog. It was a fierce dog. It was at the top of the
stairs. As soon as it saw me, it came running! It came down the
stairs. It was snapping at me. Straight away, I climbed back out of the cat flap. As
the cat flap clicked shut, I woke up. Come on, don’t you agree, that is a strange – and
interesting dream? Now I am going to google it and see what it means. It must signify
something!
