The days are growing shorter. But I am waking up earlier. This morning I was dreaming of guitar music. It was a very detailed kind of melody repeating and repeating. I didn't think it was a dream and I was listening intensely when "Knock Knock Knock!" I roused myself and looked around. I glared blearily at the window across from my bed. Was someone outside and wanting my attention? I listened for further knocking and slowly, relaxing into my bed I came to the conclusion that I had dreamed the knocking. But why? Why did I feel the need to drive myself out of that sweet dream melody at 6:40 in the morning?
The best answer I have come up with today is that the sun wanted me up. The glazed light reflecting into my window was reminiscent of those delicate wandering repeating notes I heard in my sleep. Was it the sun's dizzy melody then wandering into my sleep? If so the song was too engrossing to wake me. So the music hardened into a cool hand which laid three resounding knocks (simultaneously) on the window, my chest and the edge of my dream.

That happens to me a lot, too. I never know why my body always seems to wake up during the coolest parts of my dreams.
