    My Christmas overindulgence has caught up with me. I’m home from work with an upset stomach after a night of almost no sleep.

    When I did get to sleep I had unpleasant dreams. First the cleaner from work was vacuuming around my bed so I couldn’t sleep. Then there were lots of people everywhere talking really loudly. When I decided to call in sick (in my dream) I had trouble finding anywhere quiet enough to make a phone call. Then I realised the sun was rising and I was already late. Then I couldn’t find the app on my phone to make a phone call, and when I eventually did it wouldn’t dial.

    I think this means I am boring - nightmares used to involve things like time bombs and crocodiles. Vacuum cleaners and phoning work really don’t have the same dramatic impact.

      Or it could be the first few scenes of a blockbuster dream spanning multiple nights of sleep à la the opening of The Matrix.

        That sounds exhausting. Hopefully if this is the case the vacuum cleaner won’t be a recurring element, that thing’s really annoying.
