Dreams.

[King Pitcos]

I had one of those dreams this morning that people have in films, where they wake up and things happen but then they actually wake up and the previous bit was a dream. I dreamt that I heard the window cleaners banging about, and that the curtains were open and they could see me lying down all fat. I got up and closed the curtains when I heard them go. That was all a dream, although I wonder if it was sparked by actual window cleaner noises. I generally don't remember sounds from dreams, but this dream was very aural. Although I'm not closing my eyes and pretending to be asleep in the dream usually.

Unfortunately I rarely remember my dreams but I had a particularly vivid one the night before last, I was chatting up a girl at a gig. (I've been in a relationship for 3 years so I've no idea why I was dreaming about something I haven't done for years) She said I was too good looking to be chatting her up and she insisted that I stop and chat up a much better looking girl who was standing in front of her instead. I obliged and started talking to the girl in front, I was laying on the charm and it was going well until she said I was amazing but she couldn't go out with me because I had scabs on my feet, I looked down and sure enough I had scabs all over my feet which were bare for some reason. In real life I have nice non scabby, non smelly, well looked after feet too so I have no idea where that came from.

I had a dream where I was running naked through the streets of Glasgow. Everybody was waving their hands at me - "How you doing Barry! ?". I even went into the Chippie to get me some fish and chips.

 

Well, I hope it was a fecking dream.

I had a dream last night that Butch had wandered over to hang out at my parents' house with me, walking all the way from his (local) village with no shoes on.

 

Then aliens invaded and me and Butch had to barricade up my parents' house to prevent shape-shifting aliens from infiltrating. Finally the army turned up to fight the aliens and Butch and I enlisted into the militia, but they made me squad lieutenant because I'm posh and he's Welsh.

I had a weird dream last night as well. I was hired to work in a factory, but for a weird job. Basically on a Friday afternoon they did a kind of Tonight Show in the canteen for the employees and I was hired as their Jay Leno. I was introduced by a showgirl, started with the New Age Outlaws "ladies and gentlemen..." spiel before going into my Monologue before the first guests. It ran too short though and I ran blank and saw the foreman getting angry before improvising successfully to laughter before introducing a band called "Jimmy and the Connectors". They did a song then came over to the couch and we humourousy traded conversation before introducing my second guest who's name I can't remember and then I woke up.

 

I have no idea what it means.

I always have this dream that I'm late for school and I'm going to get bollocked for it because I haven't turned up in years. I have this dream loads. Is this common and has it got any significance?

[Loki]

Yeah, I have a similar one Ian where I'm back at school for another year, but can't remember what I'm doing or what classes I've got.

 

Butch - Jimmy and the Connectors is such a great name for a band. I often end up writing cracking tunes in my dreams, but never manage to remember them enough the next day to finish them.

So i'm out on the lash in Vegas with Sly and we're walking through a Casino when we spot one of those punch bag machine things.

 

Everyone is cheering "Rocky, Rocky, Rocky" and begging Stallone to smack it one, when out of nowhere my old geography teacher shows up, does an Ali shuffle and throws a camp jab which the machine barely registers.

 

Fuck knows, but i woke up laughing.

Randy Savage was my sister, and she had a gun and she had reason to be pissed off with me but I don't think sister Randy knew about it so I was cautious.

I had a dream that I was off to see ABBA live in Blackpool and I had a couple of hours of free time before the gig. Just as I was looking around at all the amazing stuff there was to do before the gig started though, I woke up.

 

It was mad, because it was nothing like the real Blackpool, but I knew my way around. Like I'd been to the same fictitious version of Blackpool before in a previous dream.

 

Do you ever get that? Feeling like you know your way around somewhere that is completely made up?

Last nights dream involved a local lad I know who has Asperger's winning a competition where the prize was (supposedly) a movie prop from the film Aliens. It was actually a massively oversized, Final Fantasy proportioned cannon of some sort. From there he took to roller blading in a kilt around shopping centres and being abused by the security guards, which he didn't mind so much as he was immortal.

We were in the clothing section of a large department store that we'd travelled back in time to, and he got himself carted off to the manager's office. While I was waiting, I decided to play a prank on someone by telling them I was from the year 2013, which I actually was, so I'm not sure how that qualifies as a prank. Anyway, thi got interrupted by my friend being hurled through the window that overlooks the store, and landing on a clothing rail in a manner similar to this:

 

 

As we were time travellers we obviously had a TARDIS, and we came up with the idea of using it for interplanetary booze cruises. We were on one of these (which involved sitting at a restaurant table and drinking wine) when a guy I was at school with walked up and tried to finger one of the girls. She tried to hit him with a wine bottle, but he took it of her and glassed Kelly Brooke with it instead, leaving her with that dribbly, bloody look of the student being taught dropkicks by Meiko Satomura. We took her outside (at which point we were now in the ca rpark of my local bowling alley) and one of the guys took her to the hospital in his Punto.

The 'orrible dreams are back. 

 

Last night, i dreamt that i was hit by a bus - then, next thing i know, i'm being woken up in a hospital bed by someone from the british consulate saying they were taking me home.

 

Turned out, 75 years had passed - i'd been comatose the whole time during which details of my extensive role as leader of a human trafficking organisation had come to light and i was being sent home to face trial.

 

Bloody horrible, as i genuinely knew nothing about it and was petrified.  Says something about paranoia probably, but not a fun dream at all.

I had a similar dream to that where I thought I woke up, checked my clock that was going really fast, I got up, put on some clothes and went to open my bedroom door when Kelly Clarkson song Save You started playing on a Hifi I had when I was a teenager, then I woke up.

The other night I was in Asda when the manager, who happened to be Butch, invited me to the back to watch rugby.  He provided me with free alcohol and all the bananas I could eat.

ugh, I had about 7 hours sleep last night but this morning it feels like it was 7 minutes. Had 3 of those 'so vivid they feel real but you know you are dreaming' dreams and I'm absolutely shattered this morning.

 

First one wasn't too abstract (apart from an unexpected cameo). Basically I was having trouble getting home because there were huge delays on the tube. I'd gone my usual route when this happens and was changing at Barking which was so packed I ended up standing right at the very end of the platform, beyond where the train would actually have been if it came in, and was just staring into the distance looking for it when some guy I didnt know came up and started chatting. It was just small talk, nothing particularly interesting but turns out it was Barack Obama.  I have no explanation for why he crashed my dream, I've never met the guy, know very few Americans, and don't have anything American related on my mind at the moment.  I woke up before the train arrived. I'd had a bit of trouble with tube delays getting home from work earlier so I guess that was the trigger for that part but the Obama appearance is a complete mystery.

 

The second one I don't really remember much about which I think is because of the way it ended.  I remember getting into a heated discussion about something (I think someone had gobbed off or raised a hand to one of my female mates). Anyway, it escalated and became a bar brawl and ended when someone was coming at me with a weapon and I went 'shit time to wake up now' and did. When I woke up I had no idea where I was for a good 30 seconds or so which is quite unusual even when I have these consciously ended dreams.

 

The third one was fortunately much tamer and basically centred around two of my friends deciding they didn't want to be friends with each other any more.  For context, I've known them both for about 5 years and they have been best mates since way before I knew them so this would be a very strange thing to happen.  We were in a McDonalds somewhere and they just decided that was it and basically broke up.  It was all very friendly with lots of hugs and smiles but it was slightly disconcerting as I'm supposed to be going out with them both (together) on Friday.  2 of our other mutual friends (a couple) did break up at the weekend and decide never to see each other again, which I found out about yesterday so I guess that's what triggered this one.

 

I was on holiday for the last 2 weeks and didn't have a single one of these dreams but a few days back in routine and they're back.

 

We need to get a shrink to look at this thread!
