I'm trying to sleep in a houseful of people. Little kids are coming into my bedroom and running around and being noisy. One little boy in particular keeps coming up to me and trying to wake me up. I yell at him "Leave my bedroom now!" He just stands there looking at me. I repeat this a few more times and he still stands there. I ask him "Do you know the meaning of the word "now"?" He shakes his head no. I explain "It means not later but go when I point my finger at the door." I point. He leaves.

Then I'm laying on the floor on a rug looking up at the ceiling. I'm wearing a hooded coat and I'm talking to my sister. She tells me about the hiking trip she took to the mountains. I remark that she could have asked me to go because I'm on vacation. "I will next time" she says. Then I envision us at the top of a mountain overlooking the edge and realize its a steep drop and think maybe I wouldn't like hiking up to the mountains afterall.
