Dreaming

Karen gives Annie a birthday present: a blind for her bedroom. I put it up in a room that is nothing like any room in our house; it makes the room quite dark. The blind has two or three parts to it, so I raise the first part to lower the other two parts. As I do so, the one on the right becomes slightly crumpled.

Mum suggests opening it up as much as the fabric will allow to un-crumple it. I do this and discover a matching duvet and pillow set wrapped inside the blind.

I go into a cafe; an old man has fallen over, but he is fine. He is wearing a white suit and has lots of energy for his age. There are a couple of old women there; I think one of them might fall over too. I hide my eyes as I don’t want to see it happen.
