I don't know if you've reached that age yet when you wake up in the small hours of the morning, say between three and five o'clock, having just dreamt some disturbing dreams and, wanting nothing more than to forget them, turn on the radio to distract yourself.
This happens to me quite regularly but, after turning on the radio, I switch over to the already loaded CD to resume listening to the audiobook I had been listening to and falling asleep by hours earlier.
For the past several nights I have successfully banished all bad dreams by listening to Bill Bryson's audiobook "Down Under", although the version I found at Vinnies some weeks ago is the American edition "In a Sunburned Country", priced at US49.95 or $57.50 in Canadian "loonies".
It's read by Bill Bryson himself, which adds to the listening pleasure as he has a very pleasant reading voice, and the ten compact discs go on for twelve hours which takes care of quite a few unpleasant dreams.
Unfortunately, the only YouTube recording I could find of this audiobook covers little more than the first two pages of the printed book, so in order to forget your unpleasant dreams you may have to buy the full audiobook on ebay or, for an equivalent amount of money, queue up at Dan Murphy's with all the others who are trying to forget something.
