Story Time: Sweet Dreams

One night when Buttons went to bed he fell into a deep sleep more quickly than usual. Suddenly he woke up and sat bolt upright in bed. He’d been dreaming that there was a dummy knocking on his bedroom door and as it rushed into his bedroom (dummies can move in dreams) he woke up. Now he was awake, the dummy had gone but he could still hear a strange knocking at the door. Buttons was scared and pulled the duvet around him more closely.

The door opened and it was FATS. Fats told Buttons that he’d been dreaming about a dummy knocking on his bedroom door. ‘Strange’ said Buttons, that’s what I was dreaming about. They both snuggled under the duvet and were just beginning to feel cosy and safe when there was another knock at the door. Buttons and Fats clung tightly to each other.

The door opened. This time it was Harry. Harry began to tell them about his dream. ‘That’s exactly the same dream we had’ said Buttons and Fats together. Harry scrambled under the duvet and the three friends snuggled up together. But then, there was another knock at the door. Eeeeeeek. Who could it be this time?

The door was flung open and there was the dummy again moving towards them. Buttons yelled and sat up in bed wide awake. He threw his pillow at the door. But the dummy had gone and the pillow hit his dad on the head as he was coming in to check Buttons was OK. Harry and Fats has disappeared. Buttons pinched himself to make sure he really was awake (he was because the pinch hurt) then he told his dad all about the dream.
