I was graduating from an Oxford college and took my grandson and his friend to watch. I lost them when I went to the loo and spent a very long time searching interminable wooden panelled corridors. At last I found a reception desk and asked if anyone had found the boys. The receptionist reached behind her to some shelves and produced a couple of mummified boys. "Are these the ones?"
"No"
"I'll let you know if they get handed in"
Then I woke.

I was on a train being lectured to by a woman who looked like a cross between Lucille Ball and Margaret Thatcher on why socialism was illegal now. Anything even vaguely socialist in nature, from the NHS to doing the shopping for a neighbour was illegal. All the other people on the train were armed guards and they were nodding along as if this was the most reasonable statement in the world. I asked if I could get off the train now and was told that I could but I had to sign an agreement first. It was 80 odd pages long in small print on both sides so I just signed it and left. I stepped down from the train straight into the street but there wasn't any tarmac it was just sand which burned my bare feet. When I looked down the sand was kind of twisting and turning and making itself into cats which got up and wandered off. They were all wearing cat-dashcams and they lined up on the roof of a nearby building to watch me walk home.

Your dreams make modern Britain seem (almost) sensible, Kath.

Fair point. On reflection, I have to concede that my previous post was a considerable exaggeration.   |

Last night's wasn't any better. I was making art for someone. What kind of art wasn't clear but when I went to them to see where they'd be putting it I stumbled across them forcing lines of people to jump of a ledge into a row of conical containers. After each person jumped in, the lid came down and compressed them.

Started decorating the main front bedroom circa last October but then the flashing gave way above the bay window and had to wait for repair and thorough drying out (plus the nagging to get unignorable).
Two days ago I sprayed stain block on the area which had been sopping wet. Yesterday I put up the final three drops of lining paper wher the damp had been.
Last night I dreamt that the final drop had detached itself and was lying in a heap on the floor.
Checked this morning, it is still stuck to the wall and looking good.

Besides, in Logan's run they all went UP the carousel. This lot were definitely being squished down! |

There's a scene in Hellzapoppin' with demons in Hell sealing their victims in oil-drums. Presumably claustraphobics...

One minute I'm watching a film about money coming in with the tide at certain secret locations and next thing I know I'm on a train recording the passing scenes from the window. I get out of my Landrover onto a very dirty beach - littered with small shipwrecks and lots of rubbish. There's a loud noise as a small rod-like silver creature barges through my side of a sand dune at ground level and it is followed by several others at regular intervals. Moving very fast and with great force they create a groove in the sand at my feet. As I look closely they stop looking like shiny sausages and take on a more crayfish-like appearance. Coming up at the rear is a large flobby grey fish chasing them.I start hunting for this secret money but all I can find are things which look like pound notes from a distance but which turn out to be cut out images from magazines. A man approaches, very hungry, looking for the crayfish. I grab a colander from my car and show him how to scoop them up only now they are cockroaches.

My wife woke up upset that I "had allowed a bunch of random workmen to hack our hedge down" in her dream.
