Dreams

We are reading a story about a boy who is dreaming that his toys come to life. Bo Peep and assorted robots and dolls gambol across his blanket and onto the floor. There is a train rolling across the floor.

"These him's toys?"

"Yes."

"Why dis him toys? Why dis come up?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's dreaming. Do you dream Sophie?"

"Yes. But dis don't come up."

"Your dream doesn't come up?"

"Yes, dis don't come up. I think dis come up but then dis don't come up."

"You wake up..."

"I think dis another place but then I'm snug in my bed."

She nods wisely, and continues:

"Yes. And sometimes I think it's a place I've never been and then I'm snug in my bed."
