i awoke with a startle. the sound of rain hitting the window reminded me of my service in vietnam so i had total psd n shit. psd flashbacks boi, they're no joke. i decided to get up and make some tea. GHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH, the water boiled in the jug and made that noise like that. when the water water was done i poured it into the cup and popped the fuggen t bag in there too.
i awoke with a startle. i'd just had a dream and i was making tea but i was in fact still in bed.
i awoke with a startle. i'd just dreamt that i was having a dream which i woke up from.
i awoke with a starte. i'd just dreamt that i had just awoken from a dream in which i was dreaming.
i awoke with a startle. i'd just dreamt that i had awoken from a dream in which i had awoken from a dream in which i had awoken from a dream.
i awoke with a startle yet again. i sat up, panicking. was this finally the real world?, i wondered. i began totally freaking out n shit. calm down, Quack. it's all in your head, i told myself allowed. it was almost as if i was scared to move. i sat on the bed, tense and motionless, as if moving would wake me up again.
i awoke with a startle. aaah nnoooooo wtf is going on bruh fr fr

I'd cut down on the word count a bit, the more compact you can make your prose, the better.
