Where Is My Love/There's More To A Sleepover

I've had two dreams in one last night, just like how they do episodes of animated preschool shows over in the US and Canada. The first dream was soundtracked by Cat Powers' 'Where Is My Love' and was similar to Bambi's dream in Bambi II. I was a young girl in my dream, as in any other soft, comforting dream I had. I was surrounded by butterflies and was trying to chase them. As I did, I encountered all sorts of CBBC and CBeebies stars and characters from '13-'18 - Blue Peter, The Next Step, The Dumping Ground, Art Ninja, Danger Mouse, The Worst Witch, Hetty Feather - everyone was there. By the time I reached the hill, I saw my friends Luke, Resus and Cleo again - and my old friends Mitchell, Becky and Templeton! I was so delighted, I raced up the hill and gave them all a big hug, happy to see them again as if it's been an eternity coming.
"Friendship is to people what sunshine is to flowers."
The second dream is a happy one and is set in the Bluey episode 'The Sleepover'. I was on my way to Bluey's house to spend the night with the Heeler family, and I had brought snacks and hot chocolate boxes for snacktime with Bluey, Bingo and Muffin during their sleepover, and also my favourite storybook. Now, I know my mum loves the episode because of Muffin's raucous behaviour, but when Muffin acted this way - a drunkard of a puppy, if you ask me - I was the only one who could tame her like a lion at the circus. When she ran out into the garden screaming like crazy, I put on a lion tamer's costume and started to take a stool for Muffin to eat - but she nibbled it! Luckily, the family got her to bed on time, and when it was time for Bluey and Bingo to go to bed, I read them my bedtime story.

I've known all about sleepovers in Bluey's neighbourhood. Rusty had slept over at Lucky's house and played football in the garden. One time, Bluey slept over at Chloe's house when she had her babysitter Holly over while her parents have gone out. Another time, Bluey slept over at Honey's and they played at being monsters during dinnertime. I knew all this because Mum told me about it. Aaah, sleepovers. Midnight feasts, pillow fights, loads of games and TV, having fun even in bed 'til dawn....
