Someone woke me up…
A very odd thing happened this morning to wake me up. On work days, I set my alarm to wake me up at 7 and I sometimes forget to move the little button over to wake me up at the right time. So far, that has never killed me, though I have woken up a bit late by accident and had to skip breakfast or something as a result.
So last night/this morning, I was laying inbed and I remember waking and turning to look at the clock. It was either 5:40 or 6:40, so I rolled over and went back to sleep.
In my dream, I was sitting at the table in my apartment, writing. I had the song I’m currently obsessed with: All the Same by Sick Puppies, playing from my laptop and for some reason I had a large space heater in my living room, pumping out the heat. I remember in my dream, turning looking at the space heater and realizing that I already had a smaller one in my storage closet. I figured I would be able to return this large on and save $97.00.
All of the sudden out of no where, I hear someone say ‘Kevin’. It was a female voice, maybe middle aged or elderly. Not one I recognized immediately. But it woke me up, very quickly. I rolled over and looked at the clock, and it read 7:04. It appears I did not turn on my alarm the night before. I layed there for a minute, seeing if whoever called my name would repeat it. Grabbed my glasses and checked the hall.
I was positive that someone in the ‘real world’ had just called out my name, waking me up. I checked the hall, thinking it might be my neighbour in trouble. But the voice wasn’t strained or sounded scared, it was almost conversational or well, truthfully the way you say someone’s name when you’re trying to wake them up or attract their attention.
I’m pretty freaked out regardless. I showered and sat down to capture this story before any of the details fade.
Isn’t it funny that I wrote so much stuff mocking Duffy about his ghostly encounter? At least my spectres just want to make sure I get to work on time.
Very odd.
