Early in the morning, I'm still in my bed, I've classes to attend, deadlines to meet, it's going to be a long and a busy day. While I'm still in my sleep, suddenly, I hear the sound of a thunder and a thought comes to my mind that it will rain. Just when the thought came into my mind, the thought of the pleasure I will get by sleeping while it is raining,it is a priceless feeling.

All in my blanket, involuntarily I already decide that I will sleep for a few more hours and not attend classes, which seemed the perfect idea at the time. So, without caring about anything in the world, I slept again and let me tell you one thing, the pleasure in sleeping while it is raining is priceless, it is really peaceful nd soothing. For these couple hours of sleep, I didn't attend classes, no breakfasr, nothing.

It ll feels great, until I woke up, I quickly checked my phone, looked for the time, it was 12 noon, I gazwd through the window, there was all sunlight, the sky was clear, not even a cloud in sight, it was as if the rain wasn;t falling in the morning. I checked my timetable and what I saw was saddening, I hd missed a few vey important classes and two tests.

There was no sign of rain, other than in my memory. I quickly left for class,on my way, I didn't feel like it had rained, the roads were dry, the grass wasn't wet, I was thinking to myself, what just happened?

Upon reaching the class, I saw all my friends there, I told one of my mates, did he have fun sleeping while it was raining?

He looked at me surprised and laughed, I asked , what;s wrong and he said it hadn;t rained and that I was dreaming.

At that moment, I realised too that it really hadn't rained and I really might've been dreaming, all those sounds of thunder and rain were just a dreamy distraction that were trying to pull me away from the day's bright sunshine.

I think, I learned my lesson , to open my eyes before presuming and making a decesion only after realizing. At the end of the day, who really does know that is it raining outside or is the sun shining bright.
