My written response to the news:

I was stirring when I realized that I was kind of awake. Slowly, against my own intentions, consciousness began to flood my mind as I tried to succumb to the blissful embrace of sleep. I snapped back awake. I groped around in the darkness for my phone to see what the time was, either out some sort of morbid curiosity or to see whether or not this would be an alright time for me to wake up a little early.

David Bowie just died

I took this as an excuse, forcing my head back into my pillow. I'd wait until the morning to see if it's a hoax. I knew it was a hoax anyway. Half asleep, I sprinted back to my dream world without hesitation.

"I want eagles in my dreams, diamonds in my eyes" whirled around in my mind for a while as I drifted back into the darkness.

I woke up again hours later. I only wish it had been a dream.
This is just weird. My brother texted me the news, I read it, and did what you did: went back to sleep, hoping to wake up and find it was a dream. My PC was right by me, I could have checked, but that would have made it too undeniably real, and I wanted another hour or so in just blissful ignorance, hoping to wake up and find he was still alive and it had all been a nightmare.
Sure we weren't the only ones who greeted the news like that.

And that. Makes you feel envious of the souls in Heaven, huh?
