Dream December 30th 3 am

I am at the house

It is dark

all lights off

I hear a sound that wakes me

I am in my old room

The old twin bed on the floor

Sophie, Sophie

But the voice is raspy

It almost sound like an animal

As if it were a fox saying my name

I am trying to

Wake up

The voice calling my name breaking through the dream state

But I can’t Wake

Can’t wake

Am I home

Am I in the twin room

Or moms room

Or the basement

Where am I

I can

See the lights on the wall in the dark

Sophie, Sophie, Sophie

The sound more frantic

As if a plea for help

I think it is a dog

And then I think it is the neighbor girl

That grew there more terrorized than me

And then I awake in my apartment bedroom

Night lamp on

Safe

My bedding newly cleaned yesterday after months of exhaustion
