Saturday night, I lay in Court. I dreamed that I put off my rochet, all save one sleeve; and when I would have put it on again, I could not find it.

Source & context
Laud records a short, complete personal dream within his original English diary. A rochet is a clerical vestment. The dream spans one page break, not two reports; the surrounding manuscript-gift entry and editorial footnotes are outside it. January 31 is printed under Old Style 1628, distinguished as 1628/29; no normalized modern date is assigned.
