Daytime<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yulia didn\u2019t count how many dreams she had in any particularly day. If she did, she would have discovered that today, for example, between the hours of 8am and 5.30pm, not including an hour for lunch (1pm-2pm) and two breaks for tea (10.15am-10.30am; 3.45pm-4pm), she had 23 distinct dreams, plus 3 subdreams, one of which also contained a single subsubdream, for a total of 27 dreams, occurring at a rate 3.375 dreams per hour.<\/p>\n

That was the speed at which the day passed her by. <\/p>\n

Nightshift<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yulia\u2019s nights were somewhat slowe. Yesterday evening, for example, between the hours of 11pm and 6.30am, not including two toilet breaks (2.13am-2.17am; 3.49am-3.57am), an hour of acute anxiety (11.01pm-12.01am) and a short period of moongazing (12.02am-12.45am), she had only one dream, albeit experienced across three distinct (but linked) periods of sleep (12.46am-2.12am; 2.18am-3.49am; 3.58am-6.30am), at a rate of 0.18237082066 or 0.547112462 dreams per hour, depending on how exactly you wanted to count them.<\/p>\n

In this dream, she dreamt of the shop, and everyone in it, in a detail so exact and complete it could have come direct from the shop\u2019s CCTV. In some ways, the only difference between Yulia\u2019s nights and days was that at night she no longer had her dreams to distract her from the monotony of the day.<\/p>\n
