Got up, passed urine, drank some water, and stayed awake for quite a while.
Lying on my left side, I felt the early-morning lack-of-sleep feeling — and I recognized it.
Then I felt for my hands and tried to move them. At first, I couldn’t,
but then I managed to move my body, twisting to the right in bed.
My body rotated to the right, and I could use my left palm to tap the mattress and rub it with my hand.
I then managed to rotate, facing upwards, and tapped my two palms together, rubbing them as well.
I felt it clearly and could even hear the sound.
Then I rotated back to the front, clapped, and rubbed my hands together. Then I rotated to the left.
I tapped and rubbed the side of the bed frame,
then swung my feet over the bed, stepped onto the floor, and stood up.
I touched the window curtains with my left palm and felt them clearly,
while with my right hand I rubbed the mattress and felt it clearly too.
I then rubbed the soles of my two feet on the wooden floor.
It felt like the wooden floor of my room — solid and real.
I felt the resistance of the wood very clearly as I rubbed my feet.
Then I tapped my palm on the mattress once more,
walked toward the bookshelf in front of me,
and at the same time rubbed the window curtain with my left hand.
When I reached the bookshelf, I glanced toward the bedroom door in the distance.
Everything was still dark, and the dream faded.
