I wouldn’t be really unhappy with it, the premise, and the beginning/ending structural thing gives it a really cyclical, dream-like quality which I like :)
You could try varying sentence structure a bit though, for example ‘I got up and stood at the window’ could be ‘Getting up, I walked slowly to the window’ – it just breaks things up a bit.
Also, check the use of speech marks in the sixth para, it’s a bit confused…
But generally? Thought provoking and well-paced, with an honest dose of creativity and artistic flair thrown in for good measure – tweak it for a better polish and you have a very nice piece of writing on your hands :) Bravo!
