I am in my IRL home, and I am very, very tired. I have got a few things I should take care of before going to sleep, but I am going to have to do them tomorrow, I am too tired to focus. It is dark, the lights are off and the sun has not risen yet - I realize that is strange, why am I tired at this hour? I hit the light switch as I pass it, but the lights remain off. My assumption is that they need new bulbs. At the top of the stairs, for a moment I think I see something standing in front of me, a person, or more like the shadow of a person, inches in front of my face. It is just for a moment, my eyes playing tricks on me in the dark. As I walk down the hall, I think how this darkness reminds me of those dreams where the lights will not turn on. I do not think about that too deeply at first, but a few moments later I realize that this is, in fact, one of those dreams. But I am already waking up. (I was disoriented afterward, could not remember actually getting to bed, for a few moments.)
