Screech…Screech…Screech…
Screech.Screech.Screech.
SCREECHSCREECHSCREECH!!
With a groan a slim arm reached over and slammed the old style alarm clock. And a thought floated across a half conscious brain. “Why that particular alarm…oh yeah it worked…”
Well mostly worked. The body attached to the brain was still not a morning person. Comfy pillows. Warm blankets. Cuddly dog. All encouraged the desire to remain in bed. Well maybe not the dog breath.
And certainly not that persistent annoying dream. Throwing back the covers revealed the pajama clad form buried underneath. A mild shiver cascaded across her body as the brisk morning air touched her exposed skin. After embracing or was it accepting the temperature, she reached down and scratched her dog’s ears. The only response she got was a mild tail thump and a yawn before her dog went back to sleep.
“Lucky fur ball” She smiled affectionately. Gabbing her phone she stumbled into the bathroom to grab her toothbrush. She still wasn’t convinced she like the “U” shape whole mouth system but she was determined to try it for the month.
At least it freed up her hands. Which quickly started to search the internet. ~psychiatrist specialty dreams~ seemed like a good starter keyword search. Flicking though the listings and reviews until one caught her eye. So she quickly made an appointment.
The new toothbrush finished its cycle. She quickly cleaned it off and put the thing back in case. Only to turn and see her dog laying in the hall watching her.
She just shook her head ruefully. “I guess that old joke about dogs is true.” She took one last look at her phone before closing the website since she had confirmed her appointment for that afternoon.
“Maybe now I can figure out why I have had the same dream about a forest and wolves for the last two
weeks”.
