We were in this small cafe on our morning    tea break Me and some of my work colleagues Someone inquired after my wellbeing How I was I motioned with my hand as if to say 'So, so" Then I said "I'm still a bit shaky" 'Why", they said, "what happened to you ?" I answered "I was in a car crash last night" "What!!!", they all said really concerned, "you shouldn't have come to work today, you should have stayed at home... you might be in   shock!" Then I said 'It was only a dream'. I went on "Yea, I dreamt I was in a car   crash I was driving down this terrible winding    mountain road Like something you'd get over in Italy It was like a spiral staircase, going round and    round All these terrible bends And the car it's getting faster and I know I'm    starting to lose control So for a moment I look down trying to figure    out the controls But suddenly when I look up again we've    overshot a Bend And We're heading straight into a wall It's like everything goes into slow motion You know there's no avoiding it You can only brace yourself for the impact And then BAM!! POW**!!! ..... And then I can't remember what happened    after that. Maybe I became unconscious"....then looking    at them all around the table I said "Maybe I'm still unconscious, maybe I'm just dreaming you guys sitting here    right now Maybe the dreamworld is the real world And the real world but a dream...(tapping my finger on the table) a solid dream" Then I took a sip of my coffee and said "One thing...the coffee tastes nicer over on   this side".
