I woke with the most intense craving for cheese. As luck would have it, the fridge had registered there was only a hardening heel of Stilton left and ordered a divine selection. The Sainsbury’s drone dropped it off as I punched for an espresso on the auto-chef.

As I nibbled on the edge of an oatcake brimming with rich and creamy brie, wisps of my dream came back. Cheese. The theme had been cheese. Possibly, I’d been a mouse.

What didn’t come back was the advertiser’s message I later found embedded in my dream-maker. ”Lovely creamy brie.”
