Am I still dreaming?

I woke up one morning and when looking as my bedside lamp I saw it as an open laptop.  The horizontal piece became the screen and my sleep fogged mind decided that was enough to fill in all the other pieces.  Not I consider that in line with the discussion of gestalt psychology and wonder if those discussing it ever considered that people sometimes put things into a picture that they expect to see but are not necessary there.  A person can see a face if she sees anything that is organized similar to the components of a face. 

As for the sketch related to this post, a shaky hand does not sketch very good and my attempt to show a lamp morphed into an illusion of a laptop may be hard to understand but it is an attempt.
