I had a novel, at least for me, dream this morning. I was vaguely aware that the alarm was about to go off. I had a dream asking me if I could spend a few minutes completing a survey about the quality of sleep I got last night.

A few weeks ago I had a series of dreams where I had to occasionally press the skip ad button to continue with the dreams.

What about the rest of you? Anything you want to report?

I had a recent interesting variation on the classic “can’t run away from danger” dream scenario, where I desperately needed to send an email, but couldn’t get any of my devices to connect to a network.
