#1639 – Pecked

The most recent time I slept through my alarm I dreamt that the sound was actually a timer going off in the kitchen. “I wonder what the are cooking down there? It sure sounds like it’s ready. They sure are taking their time. I hope it doesn’t burn.”

  1. I have the opposite problem. I dream that I slept though my alarm, causing me to wake up several times thinking it’s very late when it’s really still quite early.

  2. I don’t use any alarm now, but I have no idea how I managed to sleep through both mom’s and dad’s alarms when I was a little kid, especially dad’s alarm, since his alarm clock had a radio function. He made it sound like the most terrible noise machine ever by choosing what was “between” two radio channels on purpose.

    I’m quite sure I wouldn’t be able to sleep through that kind of noise now, because for some reason I’m quite easily surprised by sudden loud noises.

    My weirdest dreams come when I’m semiconscious.

  4. I have an alarm, which I usually hear. More importantly, I have four cats, which hear the alarm and KNOW that it is time for them to be fed.

    If I do not rise promptly, there will be yowling, and scratching of posts, and (eventually) the breaking of my personal belongings.

    I rise promptly. Sometimes I fall back asleep after I feed them, but by Dog, I rise promptly!

    One of those really rare strips in which Biff is shown with another living thing in the same panel….(mind you, he is dreaming…)

    If I don’t get up, my kitty makes it increasingly clear to get moving until I do. Because she’s hungry, dangnabbit.

    My stereo has a clock with an alarm setting, it comes on at 8:00. I wake somewhat, not quite at full capacity yet, but just in case I drift back out, a second alarm clock, in the shape of the Batmobile from Batman Forever, goes off at 8:26. If I have to get up any earlier, there’s also other things with an alarm to set, like my cell phone, DS, DSi with Photo Clock (if you have a really annoying sound recorded on it, you can choose that for your wake up), or someone calling the house phone at some ungodly hour.

    When I was a child, I often had a dream about being at a zoo. My alarm was a security system that I could shut off if I could find the right arcade game style button to press. Now my alarm wakes me up immediately.

    I once dreamed cell phone’s low-battery noise was coming from an artificial heart, and the beeping meant it was about to break down and kill me.

    I’ve yet to have my phone incorporate itself into a dream, I keep it under my pillow and it scares me awake. But the actual alarm clock… It’s set to “ocean noise” and progessively gets louder until I wake up or someone comes in and hits me with it. There’s been many times I started to dream about weird whooshing water noises.

    Sometimes I can set my clock for like 7:45am, and wake up every minute to see 7:46, 7:47, 7:48, etc etc, my college classes are starting soon an….oh, it’s only 7:50, I can sleep off for about 2 more hours and rush things if I need to, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    I once woke up, but my alarm wouldn’t turn off. I kept switching it off over and over again but would never shut off. Then it even started getting louder.

    Final I woke up for real, only to discover that my dad had taken that alarm clock and pushed it into my face, and all my attempts to shut it off were but a dream.
