Then the alarm went off, and I didn't finish my dream. Sometimes I'd like to shoot the guy who came up with the idea of clocks designed to wake us up too dang early.

Yeah, I agree. It seems that often when I'm having an interesting dream, the alarm clock wakes me up. If you think about it, getting up every morning by the sound of the alarm clock is not very natural. It's so artificial -- the natural thing would be to sleep until you wake up by yourself each morning. Particularly in the winter when it's always dark when the alarm goes off, I find it difficult to get out of bed: my mind tells me that it's still night time because the sun hasn't come up.
