Reflection :

THE DREAMER

Mr. Bodkin was considering of a present for his wife birthday. It was pressure cooker or the electric bedwarmer. When he asked his wife about birthday present, Mrs. Bodkin, his wife told him about her dreams. Her dreams which were becoming more and more frequent and occupied a larger and larger part of the domestic scene. Mr. Bodkin felt fairly certain, however that his wife had not yet begun to equate her dreams with her real experiences. If the dreams could be stopped in time, there was a good chance of calamity being averted. I think this story is quite complicated. It’s not easy to understand. I have not yet heard the same story like this.
