Well, what's the character's reaction to his real (waking) life? Is _he_ bored? Impatient? Dazed? Curious? Eager? Anxious? Take us through his reactions rather than his day. > John listened to his patients with half an ear, most of his attention on the clock. Would the day never end? Twice between appointments he got up to check that the battery hadn't died, and once he actually stopped an old woman who was nattering on about her bad knees to listen intently, convinced that the ticking — and time itself — had stopped. The Tube ride seemed interminable. _Must this really stop at **every** station on the line? Can't these people just get in the damn carriage and quit holding up the doors?_ When he finally, _finally_ arrived at the flat, he rushed up the stairs as quietly as he could in the hopes that his talkative landlady wouldn't waylay him for a chat. His bed called to him, a siren of sheets and pillows and duvet.
