Last year, I had a very strange dream, whose details I have unfortunately forgotten. It had a plot which involved some mysteries needing explanations, and I remember feeling tension as details about whatever was happening accumulated and the resolution to the various questions the plot had posed seemed to be about to be resolved.
But then, the story tried to execute a twist. It failed miserably; I only remember vaguely, something incredibly lazy along the lines of some characters having had psychic powers all along or the such. At which point I remember very clearly saying to myself “Oh, come ON!”, but not being able to continue, having jerked awake, as if from a nightmare, but instead of cold sweat and horror, confusion and the feeling which leads one to say well let’s see YOU do better.
Huh. I guess I got lucky then.

I guess somebody was listening...
