Kalugin woke up, scratched around his mouth, and fell asleep again, and again he had a dream: He’s walking by the bushes, and in the bushes sits a policeman, hiding. Kalugin woke up, placed a newspaper under his head to keep his drool from drowning the pillow, and fell asleep again. And again he had a dream: He’s sitting in the bushes and a policeman is walking by. Kalugin woke up, changed the newspaper, lay down and fell asleep. And when he fell asleep he had the dream again: He’s walking by the bushes and in the bushes sits a policeman. Kalugin woke up and decided not to go to sleep again, but he fell asleep right away and had a dream: He’s sitting behind the policeman and a bush is walking by. Kalugin screamed and thrashed in his bed, but now he couldn’t wake up. Kalugin slept four days and four nights in a row, and on the fifth day he woke up so skinny that he had to tie his boots to his legs with twine so they wouldn’t slip off. They didn’t recognize him at the bakery where he always bought millet bread and they slipped him half-rye. The sanitary commission, making its rounds from apartment to apartment, set eyes on Kalugin and, deeming him unsanitary, ordered the co-op management to throw him out with the trash. Kalugin was folded in half and they threw him out, like trash.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Daniel Kharms" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/daniel-kharms/kalugin-fell-asleep-and-had-a-dream-he-s-sitting-in-some-bushes-and-a/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fed/daniel-kharms-78534_dreams_kalugin-fell-asleep-and-had-a-dream-he-s_2638413.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fed/daniel-kharms-78534_dreams_kalugin-fell-asleep-and-had-a-dream-he-s_2638413.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fed/daniel-kharms-78534_dreams_kalugin-fell-asleep-and-had-a-dream-he-s_2638413.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Kalugin fell asleep and had a dream: He’s sitting in some bushes and a policeman is walking by.
