I used to be hyperaware of the sound of my pulse beating against my ear when I'd lay my head against my pillow at night. I thought it was the sound of my bed floating on a cloud, pace by pace closer to dreamland.

Luckily, I could bring myself back to my room and restart the journey if I opened my eyes before the trip was complete.
