It was 8:34PM. "Alright... thanks for calling... sleep well too." I said as I hung up. I have had a long day at the office. All I needed was a good night sleep. I picked up a book from my library ~ Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I opened it to read but my phone distracted me. BBM ehn!
"Ada-daddy" My Dad called. That's the name he calls me when I haven't been naughty. Anytime he calls me "Amaka", I did something he didn't like.
"Sir?" I ran to him with my phone, smiling. I was on BBM with Cynthia before then. Cynthia and I had just shared a joke about some guy. That explains the smile on my face.
"Get me an umbrella" My dad beckoned.
"Okay sir." The umbrella was supposed to be somewhere behind the shelf in the kitchen. It wasn't there. Jeez!
You know that kind of dream that is so uncoordinated? Dah kain dream wey dey scatter come dey get join-join. Exactly. This is a typical example of such dreams o. I can't remember whether I found the umbrella or my dad went out without it.
I sha found myself in another scenario. "Merry Christmas" was the last thing I heard.
I opened my eyes. Not sure where I was. Is it christmas already? As I was thinking in my head, I heard a sound of thunder.
O-M-G, it's raining.
I yawned and stretched. I felt something on my hand. It was Rick Warren's book. "Oh! I dozed off last night." I must have been really tired. I realized I was still on the bed. I could also hear the pitter-patter of the rain. I found the clock on the wall. It says 4:02.
It's July 25.

LOL... I find the dream amazing. Since I was born, I have never seen a rain on a Christmas day. Have you ever seen the rain on December 25? What if it rains this year? Ghenghen!When you do hear this song: "I'm dreaming of a rainy Christmas" you should know that's an Amakamedia Production. Hehe. . .
But seriously, why should a normal human being be dreaming about Christmas in July? (E be like say I no normal sha. Lol)
Thank God tomorrow is Saturday, I have to catch some sleep now! *eyes closed*
Wait, you might like something about Butterflies too.
