In the middle of the night, I woke up screaming.I had felt the pain. It had been very real. I was sure I had been falling out of bed and was lying in agony on the floor.

It turned out I was lying in my bed. It had been only a dream that had made me scream like this.

Soon I went back to sleep. But not for long. Waking up again I felt very unhappy for my friends had been so very silent. Why would they not talk to me? But then I realized that they had not been with me at all. It had been just a dream. In my dream, which seemed so very real, I saw the whole family: The parents Doris and Karl-Heinz, and the children Gudrun and Michael. Karl-Heinz had died years ago in an accident. Gudrun was dead too. She had died from cancer.

After all this I finally went to sleep quite well without another bad dream.
