Hypnagogic Suggestions

My alarm was set to 8:00 am, myself knowing full well that I had class at 9:05 am and that I had a paper to turn in. I awoke to the blaring sound of my alarm, looked around for a second, and then quickly went back to sleep for a few more minutes of snoozing. In this hypnagogic state of awake I had an elaborate dream in which I got out of bed, walked up to my computer and studied the “assignment sheet” for the aforementioned due paper. On the sheet it clearly said that I had until 7pm to turn my paper in, joy! With this new knowledge I got back in my warm bed, completely unaware that I was actually dreaming up these loose academic requirements. Needless to say, I awoke at around noon with a nagging feeling. I sprung up quickly and grabbed the assignment sheet, scouring it for any sign of the time 7pm. As I started to wake up more I began to realize how rediculous this idea was.

I quickly got in my car and raced for the Prof’s office, I have a feeling he’s not going to buy my hypnagogic suggestion excuse.
