Dreams

I was woken up by Dave yelling in my ear that he was not dead but he'd had to fake his own death to join some top secret civil service department where he'd been training ever since but now he'd passed his almost 8 years probation he could come back and take me to this secret place where he and his workmates lived.

Oh and the top secret civil service department? They were responsible for doing photocopying

I know, I used to work for them...

I was at some kind of work junket and there was a stall giving away teas and coffees so I helped myself to a coffee and a long pink jumper, a pink coat, some blue painted flower pots and some jam jars. Someone nudged someone else and said I'd stolen them and I insisted that they were free but then wondered if I had got that wrong. A woman came up and asked me if she could have one of the flowerpots and I realised that I didn't want any of these things so I started pulling them all out of my suitcase and tried to arrange them in among the coffee cups so that someone else would take them.

There were five white German Shepherd puppies to choose from and I wanted them all but didn't think my cat would cope with more than three. I absolutely woke up believing I had three dogs to go and feed. I still can't quite decide if I'm disappointed or not!

I don't remember last night's dream, but I did relay the dog dream to Mr Kath yesterday.  This morning, he woke up rather groggilly, came through to the studio where I'd already started working and stared angrily at me before asking if I'd bought a dog and not told him about it. I think he must have worked my tale of the dogs into his dream and genuinely thought I'd brought three dogs home!  (I did ask then, what would he have done if I HAD brought home a dog and he just looked at me as though he still wasn't quite convinced we were dogless.)

I'm going away this weekend - it's my annual get together with my weird internet friends, one of whom is called Sam.

Last nigh I dreamed that Sam was driving me to our meet up and we had reached the top of a very high hill. Below, we could see the others on a windy old road. Sam looked at me and said we'd catch them up easy - just to hang on to the passenger handle, which was coming down from the roof of her car. She reversed a bit, revved up and then drove straight off the hill into the air and we were then in uncontrolled flight miles up in the air. It was all just fine and dandy until we had to land when frankly it was scary as hell but we made it to the theme park before everyone else. We jumped onto a kiddy train ride and I asked my daughter to look after my camera for me while I conferred with Sam over the price of the marmalade. She had an absolute hissy fit and battered the living daylights out of the kid sitting next to her. Next thing I know I'm trying to stop soldiers armed with meat forks from stabbing Sam for being Jewish. I really hope this isn't some kind of prophesy!

Sounds like a pretty typical girls weekend away to me.

It's a bit disjointed in my memory now but I was hiding in a wooden box thing on a pole when four other people joined me. We were all hiding from different things. I climbed up the pole and hid something in Donald Trump's bathroom. I could hear him coming up the stairs and was in a state of panic so at first I just put it in the waste bin and covered it up with other rubbish but then I noticed that there was a triangular gap down the side of the bath where it went down by the sink side so I stashed it there. Whatever it had been before it was now a book. The body was on the bed and had clearly been stabbed but nobody else seemed bothered.

Well, if t was Trump's body I would find that quite understandable

I was with some friends, Dave was there and so was Roy W, I remember that bit because somehow we all ended up invading the old Marquee Club in Wardour Street and Roy jumped on the stage saying he'd always wanted to sing on there- just as the police turned up and asked us very politely to turn the lights off and keep the volume down so we wouldn't wake the neighbours

And the other main thing I remember is this cute looking mini bill terrier type dog that bit me on the bum and held on and I was running around with this dog hanging off my bum trying to find someone to get it off and being ignored. Funny thing was it didn't hurt and although I was worried there would be blood everywhere I wasn't bleeding

Just remembered that last night's dream involved me shooting with a medium format rangefinder, which I'm assuming from the champagne colour and shape must have been inspired by a Mamiya 7.

Part of a bizarre night's brain activity.
Sat in a waiting area when several well known people arrive and take their seats. Some names are called out and these people disappear through a door.
The rest of us then disperse, but meet somewhere else, and an announcement is made that these well known people have in fact passed away.

One of the "gone" is/was a Scottish entertainment legend, and another was a Scottish actor.

Not my dream, but my daughter's as relayed to me this morning:

I had a very strange dream where Kristen and I went to a woman’s house in town and she tried to murder us so Kristen stabbed her in the throat and when we ran away you and dad told us to go apologise. Then we went to a weird takeaway place that also sold furniture.

Clearly, mad dreams run in the family. I do rather like the idea of being told to go and apologise to someone for stabbing them in the throat though. That'll make everything okay!

Look at the way Paula Vennells apologises...
