Sleep

I was very tired when I turned in, and managed to sleep without interruption until I woke up with a start at ten past three. I know I had been dreaming but couldn't remember what it was about. I was also deep in thought about my appointment. I wanted to get up but both my body and my mind were too tired. I was awake for more than two hours before I nodded off. I got up at seven.
I had one of those recurring dreams again the second time I slept. This time I'd been to Scotland and was driven part of the way home by someone I seemed to know (but can't remember who it was). I ended up in Settle (I've never been there) and was at a bus station. My coach was in, and I asked the driver if my ticket were still valid from Settle. He replied that it was. Then I asked if I had time to go to the paper shop. He replied that I had. I was gone for no more than two minutes. When I got back to the stop the coach had already left. The next bit is all confusion, no more buses, getting robbed etc. I've already discussed these dreams with my counselor, and she agrees with me that the buses going where I don't want to be, the missed connections, the inability to find the right bus stop, the unfamiliar surroundings are my mind's representation of autism.
