Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again…
Er no – almost, but actually ‘Last night I dreamt musically again’. And it was this morning. But yes, I did, really. It was a really good tune, and had a lyric as well. I realised, as I came up from the depths of my deep sleep, that I already knew it, which seemed to be because it’s down there somewhere already playing in the background.
I grabbed it with my conscious mind and listened to it as I came round – ‘not going to forget this one, oh no. There, I’ve memorised that surely. As soon as I get up I’m going to write that down!’.
Half an hour later, when I next woke up, it had sunk back down into the depths without a trace.
