the other room, but I don't think so.
I was able to get in the house,
but I didn't stay long.
The only thing I remember is
that I had a towel.
I went to the store and bought
a new one. It was nice.
I used it for a while,
and then I threw it away.
I don't know what happened next.
I just know that I felt
like something was wrong.
I tried to think about it,
but nothing came to mind.
So I decided to go back home.
When I got there, I found
that my car had been stolen.
I called the police,
and they told me that
they would investigate.
But I didn't feel any better.
I knew that something bad
had happened to me.
I started crying,
and then I fell asleep.
When I woke up,
I was still in my bed.
I couldn't believe it.
I had been dreaming all night long.
But now I knew for sure
that something was wrong.
I got out of bed and walked
to the kitchen.
I made myself a cup of coffee,
and then I sat down at the table.
I thought about everything that
had happened lately.
It all seemed so strange.
And yet, it also made sense.
Because if you look closely enough,
you can see patterns everywhere.
Even in your dreams.
So maybe this isn't just a dream.
Maybe something really did happen.
And maybe I need to pay closer attention
to what's going on around me.
After all, we never know when
the next big event might occur.
