Dreams

I was lounging around in some sort of hammocky-swing contraption when a helicopter came along and started firing gunshots at the hammocky-swing thing next to me.  We were up in the air, not hanging from a tree.  Matt Le Blanc as Joey from Friends sustained several gunshot injuries but was not dead yet.  The next thing I know I'm home, which is a massive glass fronted building.  Joey is recuperating somewhere else and the woman I'm with (no recollection of who or what she looked like) is helping me sweep up an enormous pile of three inch long beech nuts into a bag and saying that as they might be watching we have to act like Joey is dead.  I go upstairs to check on him and realise that I can't see out of the windows any more because there is a massive cloud of opaque smoke/gas in front of it.  I run to pick up Joey who is now a baby in a nappy and as I dash through the orchard I realise that the house is being stormed by soldiers in full tactical gear.  The baby's nappy needs to be changed and I hand him to his nanny, but too late realise she's turning into one of the soldiers.  They are everywhere - the butler, the cobbler, the old man that looks after the horses - they are all enemy agents.

I went somewhere and when I went in The Waif from Game of Thrones insisted I had to change my skirt so I changed it and ended up wearing a short grey pleated skirt, a white blouse and a grey blazer, it looked like a school uniform then I went into a room where there were chairs like those Rennie Mackintosh chairs but the backs were really long and the seat was about six inches from the floor as was the table

Thankfully I woke up before I had to attempt sitting on one

There was some scuffle over nail varnish. I had ordered the same kind/colour that QE2 used to wear apparently and what turned up was not that.

TIL cruise ships are painted in nail varnish.

Every day's a school day eh?!

I had some job to do that involved hauling loads of crates into a lift and taking them to the 9th floor, the lift spooked me at first because the "doors opening" message sounded about 30 seconds before the lift arrived at its destination but I got used to it. I was also aware this was a night shift and I had a training course in the morning and if I was late my boss would give me Hell (A former boss of mine who was christened by someone else in the department "Little Miss Toxic")

I got into the car, as is usual in my dreams I can drive but there's some reason why I shouldn't like not having a licence or in this case having "borrowed" my dad's car, which was a huge black limo type of car. As I was signing out my foot slipped and the car spun in circles and I couldn't find the brake ~I just kept putting my foot on the other pedals of which there was suddenly a dozen or so instead of two

Eventually it stopped by banging into something and leaving a dent on the paintwork. At this point some jobsworth gave me a ticket and stuck in on the dashboard and when I tried I couldn't get it off so I drove home and parked the car and went quietly to bed knowing my dad was going to kill me when he saw what I had done to his beloved car

When I woke up I did have a brief moment of thinking "Dad's gonna find out any second now and be up here to kill me" before I remembered he died 30 year ago

I am not remembering whole dreams at the moment - just snippets. I was having a bit of an emotional breakdown at work. To be honest, that's not so much a dream as a constant daily event at the moment so I'm only surprised I've not had this one before. Anyway everyone from work was blackberry picking and on the way back to (?) I started crying. Proper uncontrollable emotional sobbing. People were trying to comfort me and failing. Then something about cats. Don't know.

I usually don't remember much about dreams, but last night - I was trying to find a way to get a truck with a large trailer into the centre of a block of land. On the map, we could see a driveway that looked accessible, but when we walked along it we saw gates that were too narrow for the vehicles. I woke before we sorted out a solution...

Hopefully the 24 hour or so break will help you find a solution...

I dreamt about someone I know I wouldn't say she's a friend but she used to make the sort of jewellery I like and I've got some bits from her over the years and as a result of joining her FB page for the company I get her updates on FB as she does mine. She stopped the jewellery business years ago and a good few years back ended up managing a local pub. Then I heard a few weeks ago via FB the pub was being closed down to be converted into flats so she lost not only her job but her home which was also her daughter's home and their menagerie

So last night I dreamt she was trying to find somewhere to live and I was trying to sort something out here and in my dream getting very annoyed because I couldn't remember her name, I could remember her daughter was called Pagan but I couldn't remember her name

The strange bit was I glanced at FB this morning and totally out of the blue and as she put it "A lot of sheer good luck" she's moving into a new pub tomorrow just a mile or so from the old one

I was away taking photos for a couple of days through the week with a mate. I had a dream that we were sitting outside a cafe or in a beer garden ans someone told me that we had to shot the squirrels. I looked round and there was a squirrel sitting on a chair. I was handed a BB gun and I shot the squirrel therough the body. I gave the gun to my mate and he shot another squirrel through the head.

I was being driven around some very bad neighbourhoods to see the best way to behave around dodgy drug dealers. There was a lot of driving through barriers at high speeds, dodging, ducking and swerving. The driver was a record producer but we also had a police officer in the car who insisted that handing them a dollar fifty was some sort of code that allowed you free passage. He had plastic bags over his boots.

Last night's dream was almost an exact replica of my actual day yesterday. No funny business, no weird stuff, just going to work, driving between offices, going home, eating dinner, picking up my daughter from netball, taking her home and then bath and bed. It was very dull.
