FADE IN:

INT. SLEEPING ROOM - NIGHT

PETER takes a look of the side-table clock and gets out of bed .

PETER (V.O.)

(Looking satisfied)

When I'm asleep, I'm

in a world of my own.

This time, I could find

her. I've been wanting

such a sweet dreamy

reunion since 1992.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

The dream was in colour -

a beautiful and dynamic

one.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (C Why I could dream about

Sharon?

FLASHBACK

INT. STUDY - DAY

Peter notices that lots of unread What'sApp messages. He taps a chat group.

PETER (V.O.)

Oh, there've been lots

of exchanges among

my music friends.

Scrolling up the phone screen. Peter sees a faded colour photograph of a large group of people with the subtitle: How many can you recognize?

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

I can recognize quite

a number....Yes, Sharon

was there!

Peter is excited.

. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

She was young and

beautiful.

Peter exhales a deep breath.

END FLASHBACK

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

The faded colour photo

triggers my deep thoughts

of Sharon.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.)

I dreamt it once now. How

can I dream it again?

What dreams are made of?

Peter surfs the web and finds something.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

First, I've to improve my

melatonin level eg by having

a consistent sleep schedule.

Nodding.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd) Second, I've to record my

dreams. I'll then see their

patterns and increase the

intensity.

Nodding.

PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd)

Third, to control my dreams,

I'd suggest to myself to

view myself from outside

my body.

Nodding.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Fourth, to sleep on my

stomach can have positive

and wilder dreams...

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

But I've never done that...

Peter reads on.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Right-side sleepers have

more positive dreams?

I do sleep on the right.

Keep up my practice then.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Fifth, relax before going to

bed and think about good

things.

Nodding.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Sixth, before dozing off,

hypnotize myself...Okay,

I'll repeat: "I'm going to

have a sweet dream."

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Alright, sweet dreams

are made of these. A sweet dream with Sharon

is my best alternative

to reality.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Let me dream again!

Peter takes a deep breadth. FADE OUT. The End
