You awake from the dream when a beam of sunlight shines through the window and casts itself directly on your face. For a second, you are confused as to what is going on and where you are, but the pieces start fitting together. Now you truly realize how lucky you must be to make it this far. Someone with your "skills" and "knowledge" would have died in the situation with the bear, even with Tom as help. They may have not even encountered Tom on their journey; it was just the right time on just the right day that you found him.
 You never considered yourself a lucky person; good things and "blessings" only happened after you have worked very hard for them. You find it ironic that your first lucky encounter was after you was condemned. Was it a sign? Or was it just coincidence?
