Dreaming

You must have asked yourself by now, as I did then – how did Werner find out about the Prof and the Cream Puff (and manage not to do any of them bodily harm?)

He told me on one of our coffee dates.

Werner does a lot of video recording work. It is his hobby, work and passion.

One night he had a strange dream. He dreamt that Cream Puff was recording on his video camera. In his dream she would not let him see the footage she had captured. He went after her and managed to get the camera from her. When he looked at the footage it was of her and another man.

He woke from that dream with a start.

It was the middle of the night, but he went in search of her cell phone. He had never looked at her cell phone before, but the dream had been disturbing enough, to make him look. What he found there shocked him to his very core. There was the evidence of what he had been dreaming. Endless messages from an unknown man – put on her phone as ALP (or something to that effect. I know the Prof used the initials of a very old detective series which used to be on television: Arsen Luper ). It was a game he played – sort of an “undercover” identity.

Some of those messages were so bad, that Werner refuses to tell me what was in them. Better that way.


He then went to wake Cream Puff, confronting her with the cell phone. She could not do much to deny it. I think she also tried to make out that this was a friend and the messages were just "jokes". But Werner saw through that.

His world fell apart, the same as mine had that Christmas eve. Unlike the Prof, Cream Puff just had not been as forthright with Werner. I have often wondered what made him dream such a dream. Did his sub-conscious perceive something which his conscious world would not acknowledge?
