A mystery

HARK ! I said in my dream---a cell phone ringing !
but, but, I said---I do not have a cell phone, which then could mean only one thing
my telephone was ringing
and I clawed my way to consciousness and stumbled out in the hall to answer the phone.
A call at what turned out to be 4:20 in the morning can only be either wrong number or really bad news from another time zone. By the time I got to the phone it stopped.
I went back to bed and was almost asleep when the phone rang. And again I did not make it before it stopped ringing.
Four times it rang and I never made it in time. The more I rushed the fewer the rings.
Four times we had this dance of ring and stumble and never once did I get to the phone in time to squawk a "hellooo" before it ceased ringing.
Maybe--I thought--maybe the person will realize the errors of his/her way and mail me an email.
So far I have encountered none.
And I wonder and wonder whatever it might have been, whatever disasters  might have happened to someone I know or that--hopefully--it was a really bad idea in a drunken stupor by someone who could not dial straight and got my number all the time by mistake, 
I hope.
