It was a night I would never forget. I wasn’t sure I was dreaming or awake all through out the night. Or I was at home or some other place. It was definitely full of sweet and sour dreams.

But lets start from the beginning , shall we?

I remembered distinctly that I missed my bus home from school. I said I remembered because I was being asked to stay slightly later for a talk with my home teacher. Clearly , my grades weren’t up to her expectations. I had just joined the magic club at school a semester ago and it had obviously distracted me from the studies.

So I was late for the bus and moon could barely be seen from my room’s windows when I reached home. I took a quick shower and even quicker dinner before watching my favorite anime show. When the show was over , I realized it was near to my bed time and no time left to do the homework for the day. I decided to go straight to the bed and set my clock for early morning alarm.

That was when my problems started. It might have been the undigested food , or perhaps the cola drink I had when I was watching the anime show but I couldn’t sleep for a long time. I was turning left and right and then found myself staring at the ceiling.

Then I saw a lizard running across the ceiling and half-way to the other side of the wall , it stopped. It turned it’s head , stared at me and it spoke!

“Hello friend! How do you do? Can’t sleep yeah?”

It freaked me out so much that I quickly got up from the bed and ran towards the study room. I switched on the lights and then looked for my recorder. Grabbed the recorder and then returned to the bedroom and scanned the ceiling for the talking lizard.  But I couldn’t find it at all four corners and even under the bed. The I heard the door knocked and I woke up in sweat.

So it was a dream after all! Phew!

So i went back to turning and tossing for a while before I had the urge to go to the toilet. I got up from the bed and walked across the corridor towards the toilet when I saw the lights in the study room! Wasn’t I dreaming when I went there to grabbed the recorder? So I wasn’t dreaming then what about at that moment?

I was asking myself when I was saved by the alarm bell!

The End
