I dream of Paris - Sogno di Parigi (English Version)

Capter 1 (Capitolo 1)

The dream: "Mental activity that takes place during sleep, of an involuntary and unintentional nature; it is mainly expressed with visual images, often of a very vivid nature". ~ Treccani. In fact, the dream world is the set of memories, imagination and desires that merge to give life to a new reality. Last night I had a very lively and realistic dream, which involved me emotionally until I woke up from the warm embrace of Morpheus. It was morning, the telephone on the wall downstairs was ringing, I could even hear it from my attic. I had to get up, put on my slippers and head downstairs. With my slow and tired step, like a bear that has just woken up from a long hibernation, I obviously didn't have time to answer and waited for another ring while having breakfast; Nothing. I realized that my parents had left a note on the doorstep. My mom at the market, my dad must have been at work as usual. The sheet of paper was signed by both of them, but I knew very well that papa would never have said to me: "I love you"; It's been a while since he even told my mom. Divorce didn't seem that far off. My thoughts were abruptly interrupted by my alarm clock which, in vain, tried to rouse me from a previously disturbed sleep. I went back to my room, got dressed, packed my backpack like every morning. There was going to be PE and I put on tracksuits, even though when you run for life you don't mind what you wear. I washed and hurried out the door; Michèle would have picked me up in moments.
