Synopsis / Storyline

A first POV (point of view) short of a guy struggling getting out of the bed on a regular weekday. His phone's alarm rings. He press the huge snooze button - to get more 10 minutes of rest. He dreams about hectic happenings of his recent past. He wokes up he reaches his phone and writes a note connecting to his dream - an idea, a reminder or drops a line to a friend. He closes his eyes and see some closed eye visuals then falls back to sleep and have another dream - until his alarms does not interrupts it and wakes him up again.

Concept

I realized that ideas are build up in a similar way how dreams build up. Both of them seems to use a similar unconscious method putting together, combining little pieces, elements, memories somehow. I joke was born in my mind - a really naughty one. It was strange that how it came to my mind. So i have tried to trace back and i found the pieces the element that it was mixed and mashed what gave the result.

This piece would like to bring back to the audience an ordinary scene that they could experienced. It highlights that although these periods are only ten minutes in the morning can be rich in intellectual events and they can drive our conscious awake life.
