Sleep tight

It was a simply awful night.

For some reason, I just couldn’t sleep very well. There was almost none if I had a little.

I had a lot of nightmares one after another. If I would have kept sleeping despite my nightmares, I would have been a problem. No matter how much I am insensitive, I was not able to ignore those nightmares. Every time I was just about to go sleep, I woke up.

It lasted whole night.

In the morning, I dragged out my body from my bed. I told my wife that I could not sleep at all because of never ending nightmares.

Well, she didn’t pay attention to what I said. She said “It was an awful thunderstorm last night”.

I kind of had an impression that she was trying to change the subject all together.

Thunderstorm? Which thunderstorm? I had no idea what she was talking about. According to what she said, we had a severe thunderstorm at night.

Now I understood. When I was having nightmares one after another, my wife was having a dream of thunderstorm. I sort of felt sorry for her and looked outside through the kitchen windows. There were a lot of fallen twigs and leaves. Our drive way was wet.

The thunderstorm she was talking about was real! I, however, had no recall of it.

I realized how deep my sleep was.
