Dreams.

[Shadow]

I love this thread.

We can all have the most rational conversations but when it comes to dreams they are just so random.

I can't really remember mine, only bits and pieces that make even less sense than whole ones!!!

A small mini dream that I had last night:-
In a kind of enclosed area, surrounded by tropical trees, palms etc. It seemed to be a cafe/bar sort of place with tables, chairs etc. At one of the tables, a coloured, I would say, Caribbean woman was sitting. It was dark and suddenly all the trees were lit up, the branches or leaves/palms, in particular, looking very spectacular. The woman looked across with a look of pride on her face as if to say "Look what I have done!".

Better post this before I forget it. Had I dream last night that I was joining the Army, and I was given a uniform and told you are in the entertainment corp, and I had to rehearse all night. I couldn't get my phone to work to tell my wife I'm not coming home. Then it got I little mixed you.

Don't know why the Army, thats the last place I'd go....Maybe it was me watching Mr Selfridge last night. My fault for watching costume drama's, but I didn't have much choice!!!

Ha ha ha ha ha!......Two good little gems......especially the last one.
I often wonder if we will be able, in the future, with all this modern technology to somehow "tap" into our dreams. Like, it might be possible to go to Maplins or PC World and ask for a cable or whatever.......stick it into your ear when asleep.....play it back on a "smart" TV later!
Mind, it would have to be a very, very smart TV!

If people could tap into our dreams, I should imagine divorce rates would would go though the roof.

Continuing my dream diary.
I was in a new job delivering meals of some sort...probably Indian or Chinese I would think as I've done that in real life.
It was in Howdon where I lived in my early years. Travelling up "the bank" from Willington Quay I arrived at, what I thought was the street for my first delivery. There were five or six deliveries in the car. On searching for the number of the house to deliver to I came across a completely crazy numbering system....the numbers had no logic to them and appeared to be just random....in no order with the number I was looking for unavailable as far as I could see. As it was a new job I wanted to get it right and was worried about the time I was taking, especially as there were other meals in the car. Most of the houses too, were difficult to get to with thick brambles and bushes surrounding the front doors.
On thinking about the address again I realised that it was the street in front of the one I was in. So, off I went.......panic over!

Not much of a dream really but I woke in a panic...it seemed so real!

A dream I had last night.
In London (again) with my friend Colin. Somehow we became separated and I found myself lost and couldn't remember where we were staying or where we were making for. I found myself in an old indoor market sort of place (like the Grainger Market in Newcastle). One of the walkways was blocked by a kind of Hindu alter with lots of elaborately carved wood and colourful statues etc. There were also Hindus surrounding the alter in their colourful clothing. One of them invited me to stand at one side of the alter where people had been placing money on a small table.....I seemed to be the guardian of this money. One thing I remembered was that there were two symbols.....one yellow disc, obviously the Moon and a brighter yellow disc with rays which was the Sun.
The next phase of the dream saw me rushing through the streets in pouring rain and feeling panicky. I then came across a terrible scene of a dog eating another dead dog. At the same time some distance away was a kind of stage and on this stage were what I can only describe as zombies which were starting to leave the stage and come towards me. These were probably actors but I didn't stay to find out! Next, a woman, standing next to me was asking me if I wanted to go to some sort of event which she seemed to think I knew about.....she was also with her twin or possibly her mother.

I seem to also remember that I was confused over the names of where I was staying.......was it West Ham, East Ham, New Holborn, Old Holborn (I know that's a tobacco!)......but anyway you get my drift....old, new, east, west....that kind of thing!
There was other stuff in the dream which I now can't remember

Hmmm, I can see I'm going to have to be careful what I put in the chilli in future!!

OK before I forget. I've just got up, didn't go to bed till around 3am. Up early to go for a MRI brain scan (routine after a seizure) so I went back to bed just before 1pm. So it's fresh in my brain.

I was in this boat with people who I didn't know, yet they all know me. On the beach was a palace which we all went into. Opening the curtain the beach was full of people, clapping and cheering. We caught farm yard animals for a feast and these people turned up and found they were all veggies. we all started to argue, and it was getting nasty....then sadly I woke up.

Maybe it was better you woke up, Milky, if it was getting nasty.....it seems to be a feature of dreams/nightmares that you always get out of them before real trouble starts!

Another dream which I'm putting on here before it fades from my mind.

At my mates house in Howdon helping with some sort of minor building/plumbing work. We were in the kitchen and also in the garage which adjoins the kitchen. Colin's (mate) parents were there although they have been deceased for some years. After completing whatever we were doing, water started seeping up through the floor and a bit of panic crept in! "Turn the water off!" I shouted. Next, Colin mentioned the name of an ex girlfriend from years ago and pointed to a small strange model of a kind of fairground carousel. He pointed to a figure on this carousel which according to him was my ex girlfriend. I reached out to see what the model was made of....it seemed to be a sticky, sugary substance and on licking my fingers it did seem to be made of a kind of brown sugar mixture.
The next phase of the dream saw me getting ready to leave. Somehow I couldn't find my shoes...which were a kind of plimsoll/sandshoe variety. When I did find them one of them had no laces.....so I had to cut the lace on the "good shoe" to make a makeshift lace! As I was about to leave an old school friend (male) from years ago appeared in the doorway.....he looked as if he had just been playing tennis/squash/badminton from the way he was dressed. Then I was off in the dark with heavy rain belting down. I raced down to Howdon station thinking that I was running very easily....almost floating along.

And that was it, end of dream!

A fragment of a dream......
In a kind of library/storage place for documents/files, etc. The kind of place with long rows of metal shelving.
The next bit is weird. I am pouring from a large container some cooking oil onto a huge fish coated with cooked batter. Underneath the fish are loads of chips...don't know if they're cooked or not. The whole lot is in a big sort of garden sieve and of course the oil is filtering through everything onto the floor. All of this is being supervised by a severe chief nurse or Sister dressed in old fashioned nurses uniform complete with white hat. She is not happy with my efforts!

There was more to the dream but that's the bit that stuck in my mind.

I had been watching a TV programme "The Crimson Field" which features World War 1 nurses the night before so I expect that's where the nurse comes in. Hadn't had any fish & chips but did comment recently that a lot of people would be going down to North Shields Fish Quay (near us) in the Easter holiday.
So there you are.....a partial explanation!
