The case of two Mordu's

Mordu woke me up this morning. He called gently across the room, "It's 11AM, Rachel, you might want to get up now." I had been dreaming and in the dream Mordu had been telling me something else (what it was I can't remember). In my half-awake-half-asleep state, I was confused about which Mordu I should listen to. If I did what the wakeland Mordu asked and woke up, I would be irrevocably foresaking the dreamland Mordu who, after all, had the prior claim on my attention. So, reasonably, I went back to sleep. When I got up 30 minutes later, I told Mordu that it was for his sake I had gone back to sleep.
