the name of the dream: the club in the club
at what looked to be a working man’s club
there was a small bar upstairs that was the “in” place to be
it was certainly popular, there was barely standing room
there was an air of “happening”
somebody wanted to show me something and in the next scene we are outside
he has a green something, i think it was alive
back in the “in” bar, someone i didn’t know asked me to get them a drink from the bar downstairs
the nerve of it, who did he think he was ?
more to the point who did he think i was that i would do his bidding
it was time to deflate his ego
i offered to get the drink and pretended to be glad that such an illustrious person would ask me to do something for him
in the next scene, i am downstairs imagining the face of the person who asked me to get him a drink
it is livid with a touch of violence around the mouth

the name of the dream: double-doppelganger day
jumped into this dream and landed on my feet feeling as confident as a testosterone-driven bull elephant and as enduring as the himalayas
found myself inside a spacious area about the size of a two-plane hanger
it had a bit of the feel of a cavern to it and there was a glistening red-hue, smeared through the air over there
i saw someone in the distance about twenty or thirty metres over to my left, he looked familiar
now we were closer and i could recognise his features
he wasn’t just familiar, it was me
i am now the size of the andes
i haven’t quite lost all my confidence but i’m on shaky ground
“what am i doing over there when my sense of awareness is over here ?”
i get to thinking, he must be me with both my sense of identity and location and i am being viewed by someone else
so if that’s me, who am i ?
after a space-age of deliberating the penny dropped
the sense of boldness felt at the beginning of this dream is the sense of being the person who recorded it had at the time they recorded the scene !
so, whose dream it ?
it could, literally, be anybody’s
how come ?
imagine we are living in the future
our mobiles show not just a pictures on a 2d screen but 3d holographic visuals plenty clear enough to give you a feeling of “being there”
you take a ten-second 3d holographic video of me
the sense of confidence at the beginning of the dream is (in the video was) your own feelings of confidence when you took the original movie
so, whoever you are, because of the 3d gizmo we can deduce we’ve met and will meet in all future time-tenses

second dream: the name of the dream: much better than expected
in the house of an awake-time ex-girlfriend
it is early in the morning and the children are still wearing their bedclothes
to a hungry child, food is the most important item of the day
the mother produced small yellow seeds sloshing around in a clear bowl (the stand-out visual of the dream)
ever the adventurist, i decided to try what i didn’t like the look of which seemed to be mustard seeds
it was scrumptiously good and i said so
the kids were way ahead of me having already necked three or four mouthfuls
addenda: vividness 3.5 – participant – the category of the dream: food ( 8 ?) seeds (1) taste (1 ?)
first dream: the name of the dream: pals in poverty
this dream takes place in a block of flats
there are gates made of ten or twelve centimetre thick cylindrical bars separating one landing from the next
each landing has four or five flats
the people are impoverished to the point of destitution
the extreme conditions have produced a camaraderie among the neighbours which lifts them above an isolated existence
whilst the gates are locked everybody leaves their front doors open and everyone has access to each others home and resources
the gates are locked in the early evening
a young boy of six or seven has attached himself to me
our friendship is based on a kinship of characters
he feels safe and comfortable with me and is noticeably at ease in my company while i experience the need to love him
both his and my family recognise a special bonding between us and feel the warmth between us and it pleases them
often we sit and lie together; regularly puts his arm around my neck with his face close to mine and i can see he wants to kiss me
an uninhibited urge to express his feelings in a way only a child can

the name of the dream: poised for a disaster
here’s a strange one…
the first scene, sitting next to the window of a skyscraper on the thirtieth, or higher, floor
the next scene, a helicopter with a bubble-type cockpit was hovering ten metres or so away
the third scene took a photo of the helicopter
the fourth scene, a boulder the size of a car, was poised a couple of metres above the blades
the final scene, i was shouting and gesticulating to the helicopter to turn off its engine so it would fall and could turn its engines back on after the boulder and the copter was apart from each other
it was while thinking if it would possible for the helicopter to avoid the boulder by turning off the engine that the dream ended

the name of the dream: in a new world
society had changed
no longer was the pop charts dominated by those who had gained fame because they had friends in the music industry (cronyism), instead, the pop charts had a plethora of new songs written and performed by the people (talented) who wrote them
the video of my song has me wearing a brown, pin-striped, brown suit with broader-than-usual lapels, brown shoes and white shirt with a tie
i had a thick head of hair which was brushed back (obviously a future time-tense)
this ten-second (dream-time) one-scene dream, was long enough for me to sing two lines of my song (dream tune 2)
two of the lines was: “how glad i am, to be an average man”

the name of the dream: moms’ best friend
was at moms’, she was in a despondent mood
eventually, she let me know what was grieving her, pat, her best friend, had received bad news
it was going to be a long, drawn-out demise
i suggested one or two possible things we could do… i could cook a meal for the three of us, a night out somewhere
during the evening mom dropped the hint, “she’s a secret admirer of you”
if my best friend had been given a death sentence, i couldn’t have brought myself to ask my daughter to do what mom was asking me to do
men though, don’t have the empathetic feelings women have for other women
it wouldn’t mean anything to a woman if she had to pay for a man to man be with her
neither would it work if the woman felt the man was with her because he was feeling sorry for her
i understood where mom was coming from and the fact she had said what she did meant she knew i would consider it because she had asked me
the dream ended as i was recalling those times i had been in pats’ company and trying to remember if i had felt “drawn” to her on any of those occasions

the name of the dream: working up a sweat
in another time and another place i was enjoying full mobility
i was out jogging with a jogger’s essentials in a small backpack
there was a tug on the backpack and while still running i looked around and saw a female jogger with her arm outstretched touching the backpack
there was no way she was going to be able to “lift” something from the backpack without me knowing about it
it was obvious she wanted me to know she was there and the look on her face told me what it was she wanted
in the next scene, we were pressed together and i could feel the elastic cord of her underpants and the softness of her body through the soft material of her track-suit bottom (the stand-out moment of the dream)
in the next scene, another younger girl had joined the dream and we were trying to figure out how to get out of a hole in the ground two-and-half metres deep
we resorted to shouting occasionally between moments of amor
addenda: vividness 3 – participant – the category of the dream: health (10 ?) pleasure in unusual situations (1 ?)

the name of the dream: the rebel waiter
working in a hotel as a breakfast waiter
the individual orders were put on a chart in the kitchen which made it easier to read and quicker to prepare
i became indignant that the chef and management were allowing the orders which were only slightly different to be lumped together into the same category
people who had ordered lightly-done toast or well-done toast were given the same toast as the bulk of the customers and likewise, those who wanted hard or soft boiled egg were given eggs that had been given the three-minute treatment
i became doubly indignant when it occurred to me that it was affecting my tips and began to bring it to the attention of the guests
i was wondering what might happen to me if the hotel management found out what i was doing when the dream ended

first dream: the name of the dream: the dream that didn’t want to be remembered
this dream had about eight different themes
every time i tried to recall the details of one of the dreams it faded
this dream is the opposite of all of the other dreams of late
most or all of recent dreams had nothing of the pde’s in them
this dream was exclusively drawn from the pde’s
with other recent dreams the more it was thought about the more detail came to the fore of the memory
not sure what conclusions to draw from this dream

the name of the dream: the shoe-shaped fish
in a shop that sold tropical fish
it is a two-scene dream that stood out for its colour and vividness
the fish tanks were about the same size; a metre in length, half a metre in breadth and half a metre in depth (slightly bigger than the fish-container in the dream of 02062019)
the first scene was a tank that had one or two orange-coloured fish in it
the movement of the fish contained grace
the second tank had a grey/black fish in it the shape of the sole of a shoe with long straggly strands the width of the fish
notes 1
the variety of the colour in tropical fish is something that caught my imagination as a boy although there was nothing in the pde’s which could have stimulated this dream
have concluded, with greater conviction than ever recently, that our experiences are part of a vast finite mechanical series of events
which means this, and all other dreams and experiences, are “repeat shows” accurate to within a number of molecules and a part of a second
addenda: vividness 4.4 – observer – the category of the dream: animals () fish () tropical (1)
03062019
the name of the dream: dizzying heights, babies and a stroll in the country
woke from sleeping and went in montage territory
the first set of pictures, some of which had motion, was of four or five different babies
unusually for montages, it was possible to hold the picture for as long as desired
it was while holding the image for a “good look” that motion occurred in some of the pictures (motion-montages)
the first two or three pictures were wonderfully colourful and i thought how magnificent are the capabilities of the brain/mind
when i recall memories of this lifetime the colour and detail are only vague outlines compared to the recallable montage images
the more these types of experiences occur the more is the inclination to have the memories of experiences of the dream-time conscious “on tap”
all of the babies in this montage had that innocent, blank look
the montage gave way to a period of r.e.m.
the dream that then unfolded was of mom, someone else and self in dangerous terrain
mom was moving with the confidence of a mountain goat along a narrow surface that was at the top of an unusual protrusion of a grass-covered peak the shape of a tower computer that had an eighty-degree curved slope on its narrow left-hand side and which at its base had a seventy-degree slope that swelled out to ground level over a two-hundred metre distance
the only way down from the top of the protrusion was to slide down
i didn’t have the confidence to slide down the eighty-degree slope and the dream ended with me stuck on the top
back into montage-land
again, it was a string of pictures of babies that went on for the best part of a minute
then back into dream-time
there were three of us, fully-grown males, wearing barbour knee-length coats casually strolling through a terrain that had difficult-to-traverse areas way off into the distance

02062019
the name of the dream: the specialist
met a woman in her early twenties on a train journey
the train was empty apart from us and we started talking
she was highly specialised in the treatment of babies with brain trauma
her method was based on monitoring one or two babies over a twenty-four hour period with twelve hours off for sleep for weeks and months at a time
a one on one approach, coupled with intense monitoring, gave her a unique insight into the character of the condition of the baby or babies’
i was interested in how she done with her twelve hours off
i wanted to know if she slept for the full twelve hours, how long before going to bed did she eat, did she have recreation time, what did she do with it ?
amongst the repertoire of novelties in her lifestyle was a very peculiar form of relaxation/therapy
as she explained it a motion picture-sequence of what she was describing formed in the dream (the stand out part of the dream)
it was a foot-bath; three-quarters of a metre in length by a third of a metre in breadth and depth deep
in the see-through foot-bath with a clear liquid (water?) there was a living thing
it looked like a tongue about the size of an ox’s tongue
it was moving in a slow, searching way
i assumed it was searching for a foot to go to work on
apparently, it had been genetically-engineered to simulate the actions of a human tongue
i think she said it could do its thing while a person was sleeping
notes 1
which is more sensitive, the fingertips or the tongue ?
notes 2
this dream is undoubtedly a future time-tense
a thirty-six-hour lifestyle is impractical today but who knows what happens off-earth (link to space-dream evolution) or if the new habitation is built ?
interestingly, it maintains the one-third sleep, two-thirds awake ratio

fifth dream: the name of the dream: assembly-line ignition-tester
the first scene of this dream took in a large part of an automated car production factory
as with the previous dream it was at the end of the production line
there was a minor problem that kept on occurring concerning the wrong ignition keys being in the wrong car causing the line to have to slow down every now and then
i went to the manager’s office where there were two men who had a view of most the assembly line and suggested the barrel of the ignition be kept the same until the car had come off the line
one of the two men went off to talk to someone and the other one said: “you certainly have plenty of new ideas”
i gave him the “thumbs up” and the dream ended

fourth dream: the name of the dream: the singalong job
it was my job to test that the sound of portable cd players was not distorted at the end of the assembly line
inevitably, i began singing along with the songs
addenda: vividness – 3.1 – participant – the category of the dream: work () assembly-line (1) cd players (1)
third dream: the name of the dream: motorboat attendant
i was the attendant of a motorboat-for-hire company on a lake about half a kilometre wide and about three-quarters of a kilometre long
there were two or three boats on the lake and it was my job to make sure no one got into a “situation”, mainly, not to get too close the land
as with the previous dream, the boats were two-seaters with a slow top speed
the third scene, there was a bigger boat moored in among the others which could seat seven or eight
hadn’t seen or used it before
it looked a bit unwieldy but decided to “take it out”
without meaning to, i started it up as i got into it
the starter-cum-accelerator was a discreet slide mechanism that had been built into the top side of the gunwale
it took another scene of the dream to figure out how to work it
the next scene, as with the previous dream i was the attendant only in this dream there were more boats
i was now in a boat capable of getting from one boat to another boat in seconds
as i went past one of the boats with two girls i heard one of them say, “let’s try and find some (boys) who are more normal”
i said: “i’m normal”
the girl replied back at me and said, “you don’t look normal”
it made me laugh and i heard myself laugh
in the next scene i decided to give the boat “the gun” and slid the accelerator about three-quarters of the way along the slide-accelerator mechanism
it went to about seventy kmph within seconds and the dream faded out as the other boats became specks in the distance behind me
addenda: vividness 3.4 – participant – the category of the dream: powered boats () lake ()
the second dream, pottering around on the river in a two-seat motorboat
the boat was not a speedboat, it was designed for cruising at about five kmph
the river was about six metres wide with no noticeable surface chop
addenda: vividness: 3.2 – participant – the category of the dream: powered boats () canal ()
the first dream: the name of the dream: auntie g’s birthday party
of all the family, auntie g always put on the best “shindig”
one reason was she was the one who had the most floor space, another was, she was a great cook; the only one in the family who could make a wedding cake
i knew it was going to be probably her most lavish “do” to date when the person who opened the door to me was wearing a chef’s apron and there were two other people also wearing cooking clothing visible in the kitchen at the end of the extended hallway
it was raining quite heavily and i had got wet (think this is the first time i’ve got wet from rain in a dream)
after drying out i went into the front living room and opened my backpack and got out my video and photo equipment for a “systems check”
i was the official photographer for the family on account that photography was one of the services i offered in my business package
in the next scene another single male was sitting next to me who also happened to be a photography enthusiast
his equipment was almost as good as mine and we were “checking out” each others equipment and getting along swimmingly
at one point i let out a sound of partial disbelief, i didn’t have enough film in my camera for the occasion and, even worse, my batteries were flat
the other man in the scene had a spare film and gave it to me as a gift
he couldn’t help me with batteries though but that wasn’t a problem as there was a hardware store at the top of road eighty metres away
in the next scene, there were three of us
the new arrival wasn’t anyone i knew but he spoke enthusiastically when he did speak and in a manner which suggested he wanted to get to know me
in the final scene, there were four of us
the latest person to join the dream was dressed out of context for one of aunt g’s party’s
he was scruffy and sat on the floor next to me
i thought he must have been a friend of a friend of someone in the family
the first thing he did was to produce a “pellet” of hash and give it to me
although there were only four of us of an expected thirty or so, the party was underway
addenda: vividness 3 to 3.3 – participant – the category of the dream: parties () aunt g’s ()
30052019
the name of the dream: a dark cinema
this dream has the lowest vividness rating of any dream
the reason…
the first scene, walking down the slope to the front seats in a cinema, i think it was a multi-screen cinema
before getting to where i wanted to sit i knew something wasn’t right, it was too dark
there was nothing on the screen and usually, when there’s nothing on the screen there is more than enough light to see your way around
there were two or three red lights but they didn’t even light up any of the floor below where they were situated
it was necessary to feel yourself along the wall
the building had experienced a total black-out
next scene, people were being steered out of the building through emergency exits
the people beckoning the patrons out with stern commands and people who weren’t moving quickly enough were being man-handled into a “frog march” by burly men who should have been bouncers and not your typical cinema staff
i was the last or one of the last to get out and had seen the “helpers” being overly enthusiastic and demonstrating their impatience with those exiting the building too slowly by pushing and pulling them along
it wasn’t a life-threatening situation and their method of evacuation was out of proportion for the situation
in the next scene, a big man in a dark overcoat was in front of me and someone i knew was standing just behind and to the left side of me
the person i knew had brought me to meet the man at the man’s request
i had written my account of the incident and given it to the appropriate authorities as a complaint because of the rough tactics used by the men who in charge of the evacuation
the big man in the dark overcoat was a representative of the company who owned the cinema and had been instructed to offer me money not to take the matter any further
someone said something and the man in the dark overcoat turned away from me took a lighter and set fire to my account of what had happened
i said to my friend: “bear witness that he is burning my statement”
the man in the dark coat said to my friend: “tell him i’ll give him two-thousand pounds for every pound he spent”
even someone with my limited arithmetical skills knew he was on a winner
i awoke from the dream feeling satisfied

29052019
the name of the dream: thunder rail
the first scene, in an underground railway station
it was an impressive bit of architecture
fifteen metres from the rail track to the roof
the roof was made of girder-sized wooden beams that ran cross-ways to the tracks and the roof was further supported by square concrete pillars that looked to me as though they weren’t anywhere near as sturdy as they needed be
the non-stop intercontinental train appeared in the dream without any of the approaching sounds a person was accustomed to
it was passing through the station travelling at least a hundred and twenty kmph
a person is familiar with high-speed trains travelling along outdoor tracks at an appreciably fast pace but standing next to or near to one in an enclosed area was something i was not prepared for
the ground shook, the ceiling beams rattled and vibrated in unison as the sound and weight of hundreds of thousands of kilograms of metal on metal made its presence known
then, almost as quickly as it had appeared in the dream, it was a receding single carriage that had become the size of a playing card
i went to the information room and asked if there was a non-stop train that went to vienna
the man i asked done such a good job of ignoring me i thought he was deaf, perhaps he was
i asked someone else and he said there was
it was time to get back home and as i began making my way i noticed i was carrying a beige-coloured baseball bat (the stand-out visual moment of the dream)
someone sucked in their breath as i walked passed them
other people felt the bat was as lethal as a gun and sooner or later someone was bound to challenge me about it so i tucked one end of it into my armpit under my jacket to hide it

the name of the dream: the return of the cave-trolls
definitely, a dream set in a past time-tense with a low vividness
this dream is set in a cold, low-light environment, where the dominant males are cave-troll man-shaped beings about two metres tall (this is the second dream to feature males with this brutish shape and character but unlike the first dream with them in it, the first was the dream of 17012019, these cave-troll beings were in control)
there weren’t any female cave-troll man-shaped beings
the men of this time had the disposition of the men of today but were like the women in that they were muscular and stocky
as big as the men were they were no match for the cave-troll males and had to live their lives in places where the trolls weren’t
the cave-trolls didn’t make love to the women, they “had” them
the women of this dream had the character of women of today but were stocky and, not unlike the women of today, they aren’t “phased” by the brutishness of cave-troll men or brutish men in general
i was in the abode of one of the women and we were waiting for her partner to return
i thought it would be fun to dress in loose clothes and pad them up to give me the appearance of being a troll-being when the partner of the girl in the dream showed up and scare the heebie-jeebies out of him
he came into the room and although he didn’t baulk at the first glimpse of me i sensed he hesitated but he denied it when i mentioned it
as oppressive as the atmosphere of the dream was it still had a touch of levity
addenda: vividness 2.7 – participant – the category of the dream: oppressive dream (12 ?)
27052019
the name of the dream: mixed-theme dream
upon waking in this dream, or it may have been because of the sounds the young cat was making, the dog was using its weight to subdue the cat
from where i was as i sat up in bed it looked like it was attacking the cat
i had to act quickly
i jumped out of bed and pulled the dog away from the cat let them into the hallway
again the dog started roughhousing the cat so i opened the back door and let them both into the backyard
it was a bright summer day and the dog left the cat alone and it came back into the bedroom with me
in the next scene, the home help was tidying up while she was chatting to me
she said something which opened her up to a bit of ribbing
“all i’ve got to do is make a phone call and i’ll know everything about you” i continued, “i’ll know who your first boyfriend was. i’ll know when you had your milk teeth…” and few other inconsequential things
in the next scene, i was in a happy mood and was ad-libbing a song that expressed the way i was feeling
woke from the sleep as i was singing the third or fourth line
fell back to sleep again and upon reawakening, i thought i had forgotten the dream until the first line of the song spontaneously popped into my mind (dream tune 1)
addenda: vividness 3.3 to 3.7 – participant – the category of the dream: mixed-theme dream ( 100 ?) animals, home-help and a song

the name of the dream: an argument for standardising files
as with dream of 24052019, this dream began with me having trouble finding items when inputting commands/requests via typing
in this dream though, the difficulty was to do with a film-file on my mobile phone
more accurately, the film was on the phone but part of it was missing, as the film was being watched it ended abruptly halfway through
going back to the folder which contained the films was a finger-swipe action
as the contents of the files whizzed by (the stand-out scene) all of the content on the phone showed only momentarily, but the eye-brain coordination was sophisticated enough to pick out the different categories or types of files
differentiating was aided by the different size and the “boldness” of the text (although it wasn’t in the dream, identifying the files could have been made even easier if the text had more variation and better still, file-favicons)
when the phone arrived at the last of the files in the written master index all the films showed
the film i had been watching at the start of the dream (the name of the film eludes my memory as this is being typed) was amongst the files in the film index in the master index
i went to the film and scrolled through it to the part where it had abruptly ended and continued watching
now a new problem emerged
every now and then when the film changed from one scene to another the ratio of the width and/or height of the scene was, by varying degrees, bigger or smaller than the previous one
the dream ended
notes 1
it occurred to me when i woke that the reason for the mixed screen-ratios was because the film on my phone had been downloaded from the cloud (other peoples phones and computers) and the size of the screen was tailored to meet what the uploader deemed was the most popular screen ratio, which itself was determined by the size of the most popular size of a computer or t.v. screen
the mixture of screen ratios was due to the internet being totally open
when a download was in progress and someone turned off their phone or computer the request for the file was re-routed to a different uploader who had the same film but with a different screen ratio
notes 2
this dream has revealed that executing commands to the computer via finger-touching a screen is the reason why it is not possible to complete a command/instruction
in the dream of 24052019, it was concluded that clicking the mouse was the way to overcome the problem of not being able to give commands or make requests via a keyboard does
this dream jumps forward and proposes finger to screen contact as THE means for interacting with the phone/computer
computer maxim: 1
the more inanimate links there are between the user and device the less responsive the device will be

the name of the dream: a step forward
as has been my routine for the last few months i have been making voice-notes of my dream first thing upon waking and before getting out of bed
however, on this occasion after waking up, i saw on the computer alongside my bed a notification at the bottom-left of the screen that there was a message waiting to be read
the message-icon wasn’t one i’d seen before
slightly curious, i clicked the message icon and it brought the message and a photograph onto the screen
first, i looked at the photograph and took in the detail (the stand-out part of the dream)
the overall impression of the picture was that it used to be a family home
the width of the building was approximately seven metres, as it was a “head-on” photo it wasn’t possible to see the depth
it was a stand-alone building that had a wide wooden door that could have been a garage for two cars or it could have been a stable for horses
next, to the wooden doors, there was an empty space the same width as the wooden doors
the back and both sides of the stone walls of the empty space were painted white and there were one or two brown wooden beams which went from the bottom to the top, denoting the empty space used to be used for something or other
above the doors and the empty space was the living accommodation
both windows had curtains and i formed the opinion the building was currently occupied by the person who had sent the picture
i clicked on the message icon and began reading the message
it read… i was wondering if you would like to treat a girl and go to some of these places…
there were about twelve place
none of them was places i was familiar with so i decided to take a quick look at one or two
for some reason, i wasn’t able to type the names in the message into the computer
so i decided to leave the message until after i’d made some voice-notes of the latest dream
it wasn’t until i had tried, and failed, to recall any part of the dream that it dawned on me, with no small degree of surprise, the message on the computer WAS the dream
notes 1
yet again, the failure to get a response to typing something into the computer caused a halt to the flow of the dream
this dream, however, is a step closer to bridging the chasm of being able to type and get a return of what had been typed
now it has gone from not being able to get a return from a typed input being the cause of waking out of a dream to not being able get a return to a typed request and then returning to the dream
this may have been the first time clicking something on the screen has produced a return
perhaps clicking is THE way to go

first dream: the name of the dream: epic dream 5
the first three scenes were of me going from walking to flat out sprinting
the feeling of power in the legs after achieving top speed within four or five steps
in one case it was on a cobbled street
a couple in their early twenties came into the dream, they wanted to get to know me
i was o.k. with that
they were from norfolk
i mentioned something about the lay of the land being flat and that i had a day out on the beach there one time (an awake-time instance when the weather broke from spring to summer in the early eighties)
at one point during the three or four scenes with this couple, i became concerned that people who expect to get an idea of what god was like by meeting me was completely askew
“i’m nothing like god,” i said
“we don’t look alike, nor do i do things or say things the way he would do or say them”
“the feminine side of god comes through in his looks,” i said “he looks like a woman facially but his upper-body is most definitely masculine”
“also people need to understand his compulsive nature to share” – a point which we should all dwell upon is that life is a continuation of the eternal expansive nature of reality
the eternal expansive nature of endlessness has only one bias… expand!
the idea of a clique or cult or any form of “specialness” felt by one or many people is more alien to him than a two-headed, four-legged alien would be to us
i urged the couple to do things which brought forward the idea of equality among man-shaped beings as a dominant feature of her/his character
a group of three came into the dream after the first couple had departed
they sought to gain an advantage through their association with me
one of them had a look which saw me as a meal-ticket
this group were in and out of the dream after one scene
in another scene, i was sitting on a wall that had ledges in it
to the left of me in one of the ledges, there was a dark-brown wooden horse about half the size of a packet of butter
it looked very old (i think this scene is from the latest version of the film blade runner which i watched two days before this dream)
in another part of the dream, the same man appeared in four scenes
in the first scene he subtly brought up the idea there was a meal ready for me
in the second scene, he never brought it up but i could tell he was hoping i would go and eat the meal he had prepared
in the third scene, i said “i know what it’s like when you make a meal for someone and they don’t sit down and eat it when it’s put on the table”
he nodded demurely, he was not in any way going to try to make me do what i didn’t feel like doing
in the next scene, i am eating, and thoroughly enjoying, chips, fried eggs and another item of food
in the next scene, i recognise the man, it is donald trump
we begin talking and i ask him if he plays a musical instrument
he said “yes. the bass guitar”
i replied “so do i”
we got talking about music and how it had changed for the worse
i brought up the point about the way current pop songs did not have melodies a person could sing along to was a change for the worse, he agreed (it was a humble donald trump in this dream. the complete opposite of the donald trump during his campaign for the presidency
notes 1
again, the two or three sprinting scenes were due to another slight improvement felt the day before after the third or fourth time of doing sit-down – stand-ups
the exaggeration of physical abilities in dreams as the result of very small gains in awake-time may be a feature of dreams (an alluring look from a girl may come through as a full-blown relationship in dreams)

second dream: the name of the dream: future environments
this dream is set in a future time-tense
society has secured ways of distinguishing between those with a disruptive/violent bent and those with a natural altruistic disposition to life at a very early age
the practical result is that the two different types of people live apart from one another
both forms of society still have a police presence
a policeman from one the peaceful society’s was being interviewed
“i love my job. seeing young and old people living together without either end of the age spectrum being aware of the difference in age”
note 1
it should be noted that in a peaceful society devolving beings are as fish out of water and are easy to spot
beings with a violent nature exhibit their destructive nature at a very early age
come the new habitation, recognising and effectively nullifying destructive behaviour will be no more difficult than distinguishing between different colours

first dream: the name of the dream: an emergency and getting home
there was a “buzz” in the air that grew and then became an urgency
seven or eight streets over there was the unmistakable glow of a fire
it was in a residential area which meant lives were at stake; immediate action was needed
i shouted out “i have four picks at home”
someone said “they will be handy if we have to look through rubble”
a small crowd followed me to where i lived
i handed out the picks
one of the men saw himself as a leader of sorts and became antagonistic towards me when i didn’t make sure he got a pick
in the next scene, we had stopped and were standing and talking or debating something
the fire was still part of the dream but it was even further away than the first time i saw it and i decided to catch a bus
i asked people i didn’t know for instructions for which bus to get and where to get it
again, and as is usual with dreams, remembering the details of instructions throws a spanner in the flow of the dream
after two or three attempts at trying to follow directions, getting to the emergency was no longer the thrust of the dream
the big problem now was getting back home

the name of the dream: twinges and tickles
my girlfriend and meself were checking each other’s teeth
we were gently applying pressure to the gums using something metal
each tooth was being probed for twinges of sensitivity as an indication that we might need to visit a dentist
after three scenes of testing for possible signs of tooth decay the dream changed to us testing each other’s response to being tickled
we used the bottom of our feet for the test area
in particular, we found that the area where the toes joined the foot was the best spot
it was four, five or six scenes later when we had found the most sensitive area of each other that my girlfriends tickling caused me to laugh so hard it woke me out of my sleep

the second dream: the name of the dream: a rat in the kitchen
it was the first morning of a term in prison
if it wasn’t for the feeling of being there against my will it could have been a new theme of a t.v. reality show
there were eight of us in the room, a mix of gender with two or three women
the room we were in was on the second floor
the windows weren’t barred or locked so it would have been easy to tie sheets together and climb to the ground but we weren’t that type of criminal
nor was there the accompanying feeling of oppression that usually accompanies a dream of being in prison
that it was a prison of sorts became clear in the second scene when a member of the staff of the prison came into the dormitory
he was wearing a black peaked-cap and a loose white jacket and shirt and dark trousers and shoes
he was a solid thirteen or fourteen stone and spoke in an adequately authoritative tone
“there is only one rule here. never get in the way of somebody doing their job”
he began allocating us jobs
something was fishy about one of the other inmates
he made a joke about the prison which derided it and by implication the staff who worked there
the guard talking to us wasn’t the sort of person to take criticism from a “low-life” and my assessment of him told me not to rub him up the wrong way
instead of “jumping all over” the dark-haired inmate with a slightly off-white complexion, the guard made a mock retaliatory comment which in no way contained hostility
the inmate, i then realised, was a plant
i was now on my guard and would be feeding him false info

the name of the dream: an unusual approach
working in a hotel i think
a girl ten or twelve centimetres smaller than me was “on my case”
the slightest little thing became an issue
there were two more scenes where the tone of the dream was the same
she was looking for, and found, reasons to admonish me
then, in the next scene, as if by magic, we were kissing
my size meant that my body blocked the view of a woman member of the staff who was looking on and making commendable sounds
she could see us kissing but couldn’t see my hand inside her blouse as i caressed her nipple (the stand-out scene)
the girl in my arms was yielding to me and was leaning further back the longer the kiss went on
she was ready to lie down

third dream: the name of the dream: amsterdam
this dream is categorised as a “continuing dream” of the dream of 28042019
the weather was the same and, as before, i had a backpack and was in amsterdam
was in a good mood and felt amiable
made a friendly quip to a bloke walking past me
he smiled but it was the wrong sort of smile and it became obvious from his mannerisms he was a homosexual
he realised from my reaction i was embarrassed but understood it was he who had made the wrong assumption and carried on his way
went into a cafe and asked if it was o.k. to smoke
was told yes and i walked through into the lounge area in the back
i slipped off my backpack and swung it too energetically onto the table
there were two flasks of hot drinks in it and the tops came off both of them and made a right mess
i went over to the counter and saw that the bloke serving had a mop in one hand and a bucket in the other getting ready to come and clean up my mess
i gestured he hand me the bucket and mop, which he did, and in the next scene i am part-way through cleaning up
in another scene, i am enthusing to another male of my age about a project that could be a good “earner”
he is showing an interest in it when the dream finishes

second dream: the name of the dream: little boy lost
walking along on the left side of a side-street which led to the main road about fifty metres further on, think i was on my way to catch a bus into town
a boy of about seven with dark hair and wearing a dark suit appeared in the dream in front of me
he was standing still, not looking anywhere
his demeanour was unmistakable, he didn’t know where he should be going
i spoke to him but he shied away
i clasped him by his wrists, lifted up his arms up and pulled him up so he was sitting on my left arm
while he was leaning into my chest i said something else and in response, he threw his arms around my neck and held tightly onto me
how could a child so readily give his trust and love to a stranger ?
i felt his vulnerability and it stirred my soul
in the next scene, still carrying him, we had entered a shop
there were four or five people in the shop, two of them were young teen girls
i was looking at the girls while addressing all the people in the shop and said: “does anyone know this boy ?”
the girls shook their head, none of the others said anything
i asked the woman behind the counter “will you call the police please”
she lifted the phone and was talking into it when the dream ended

first dream: the name of the dream: a short dream about shortening
in the company of two other men who were about twice my age
they were a couple of strides ahead of me as they were walking and talking
one of the men was using a crutch to help him walk
i noticed that the tip of his crutch was touching the ground a few degrees off perpendicular to his body as he was walking
i told the men to stop and let me do something
in the next scene and final scene, a close-up, with a single backstroke of a handsaw i made a mark on a walking stick, cut through it and affixed it to the bottom of the crutch
notes 1
this dream has made me realise that a single “close-up” scene in an otherwise broad-view dream denotes a different time-tense
taking this notion further it can now be conjectured that every new scene in a dream represents a new time-tense
perhaps in the future, all dreams will be one-scene dreams which will last for the entire period of r.e.m.
example… a person gets out of bed and feels the change of temperature as they get from under the blankets and feel the carpet under their feet as they walk through into the kitchen where they notice the change of temperature on their feet as they enter the kitchen, feel the handle of a cupboard door and feel the edges the of two boxes as they take them out of the cupboard and hear the sound of the contents of the boxes as they are emptied into a bowl and feel the coldness of a hand-mixer as they whisk the contents of the bowl
the dream continues for twenty minutes of awake-time (two-minutes of dream-time) as they fulfil a notion they had while they were preparing a meal during the previous day when they thought that different proportions of two ingredients would produce an unusually pleasing taste

the name of the dream: the day nature called twice
it was a gloriously sunny day
a day when the temperature of the air and skin were the same
the urge to be at one with nature overtook me and in the next scene i am walking along in the nude
i didn’t get any catcalls or any unsociable quips thrown at me although a few heads turned
about a third of the way home nature called again and this time the call was even more overwhelming
before i could get to a toilet my body released the unwanted matter
walking without any clothes on was one thing but walking in the nude with a dirty bottom was another and i knew i must do something about it
i ducked into somebody’s front garden but not quite quickly enough and now i needed something which would cover my front and back
a strip of white cloth appeared in the dream which was just long enough to go through my legs and around my waist
it meant having to walk holding the cloth to my right hand
the dream ended
notes 1
this dream is categorised as an informative dream
i think this is the mind telling me that my diet is not adequate enough for the purpose of disposing of un-needed food or, more likely, i am eating the wrong things
the implication is that i am eating unnecessary food or too much food
it is agreed that too much protein in a diet will cause varying degrees of constipation while too much vitamin c will have the opposite effect
most baby’s poop daily
it makes sense to think a baby’s metabolism is working at peak efficiency
consequently, pooping daily, or even within hours of eating, suggests that a person’s metabolism is working at its best
the precise needs of any individual will be slightly different from person to person
expect radical changes within a few thousand years as our understanding of dietary needs become known

the name of the dream: some cameras are too much
there are three of us, a girl and two males
we are sitting on a wall
our feet are touching the ground and we are looking the same way as our feet are pointing
behind us, there is a two-metre drop onto the pavement
we are waiting for phil, a friend of the girl and boy
he works in a sony retail shop in the high street and i want to talk to him about cameras
he arrives in the dream and tells me to go to the shop and ask to see the most expensive camera
in the next scene i am in the shop and after telling the salesman i want to see the most expensive camera in the shop and am explaining to the sales assistant that i’m after a camera that has an audio input and will accept a programme that will let me mix sounds while i’m on a bus or train or sitting anywhere without having to be connected to the internet
the salesman shows me an all-singing camera that will do what i want but the audio aspect of the camera is quickly forgotten as he shows me some of the features of the camera
it can’t make a cup of tea but it can do anything imaginable with still pictures and movie clips
i must have it and ask how much it costs
the salesman fiddles with a knob or two and shows me the top screen on the camera
£4998 is showing in red on the screen (the stand-out part of the dream)
i said “what i should have said was… i’m looking for a quite expensive camera”
the salesman and someone standing by his side were both smiling
we all knew this was out of my financial league
the dream returned to the original scene and now there was another couple in the dream who had taken umbrage with the original couple in the dream because they had dismissed the suggestion that we all go back to their house because it didn’t have the scope to cater for everyone
in the final scene, i got off the wall when the thought occurred to me that a strong gust of wind might blow me off balance and cause me to fall backwards onto the pavement behind me

the name of the dream: a prisoner freed
i was one of about twenty new prisoners standing outside the gates of a prison
there was a barred window to the left of the prison gates
about a metre beyond the window there was another solid brick wall
this wasn’t so much a prison, it was a labyrinth
it filled the observer with a sense of foreboding
in the next scene, we were shown into a room where inmates were being taught quantum physics
the teacher wasn’t doing a good job of explaining it
i got the attention of a young man sitting in front of me and began explaining the principle of indeterminacy
i made my hand into a fist and opened the fingers of my hand wide enough to get a tapered slither of paper through
as i began pushing the point of the paper through the gap between two of my fingers i said: “the closer you try to pinpoint the where of one of the particles in the atom the more difficult it becomes to give it an exact co-ordinate. the principle of indeterminacy is letting you know what the greatest degree of accuracy can be”
in the next scene, i was no longer in the group of twenty in the classroom, i was walking through one of the narrow corridors of the labyrinth
in the next scene, i was out of the labyrinth/prison and in an open expanse on a sunny day

the name of the dream: the facilitator
when you’ve got a few decent connections it’s fairly easy to become a middle man
the drawback is once you’ve established yourself everybody else gets lazy and relies on you to do everything except pay for the goods and services (my goods and service was women and cannabis)
this dream was a typical day of “business”
person “a” would contact me
person “a” didn’t have enough money at the start of the transaction to complete their end of the deal at the moment of asking and so asked me to see person “b”, loan the money from them and person “a” would have the money by the time i turned up with the goods or service
sometimes it wasn’t as straightforward as that
person “b” wouldn’t be available until after the time person “a” needed the goods or service which meant contacting person “c”
person “c” didn’t know about person “a” or “b” which was handy because quite often person “a”, “b” or “c” wouldn’t have anything to with one of the other two
it was nighttime and the business day was almost over, just one more stop to make
it was an elderly and frail man who’s only joy in life was a joint at the end of the day
i felt good about being able to do something for someone without getting anything out of it
he was an easy going, easy to like and an easy to talk to person
i supplied him with a “teenth” regularly every few days
the problem with a having a routine is it doesn’t take long for other people to latch on to it
they see your car parked somewhere regularly at a regular time
somebody they know knows somebody who knows someone who knows you… it doesn’t take long for people to figure things out who you are and what you do when you have a routine
when i got there two of the local “we get what we want” types were in the house with the elderly gent
their mere presence was enough to intimidate the elderly gent
he had told them what they wanted to know and now they could use it against me
it was only a minor inconvenience, it would just be a matter of breaking with routine for a while
as i was leaving i overheard one of the “visitors” say: “he only gave you a teenth ?. phone him up and tell him to get you an eighth”
i got the call, got the eighth, delivered it and left

second dream: the name of the dream: five faces of femininity
awoke from sleeping
try as i did, after five minutes i couldn’t remember what it was i had dreamt
for my efforts i was rewarded with a montage of five pictures
first picture, a fair-haired girl, slightly tanned and in her early twenties was seated and looking down and to the right
her clothing changed for each of the pictures
in the second picture, she was in formal clothing and her hair was brushed back
a white plastic hair band divided the first quarter of her hair from the rest of it
she was looking directly at the observer and smiling a broadly
the third picture showed her at her most appealing; relaxed, extrovert and smiling confidently; she reminded me of a model at the peak of her career in a photo-shoot, ready to adopt any pose and respond to the call of the photographers to look their way
in the final picture, she is looking forward and down and, as with the first picture, she is apparently unaware of the observer

the name of the dream: at home with mom
it was late at night, a little after midnight
in the living room with mom
she was on the left-hand side of the room and i was on the same side as the telly on the right
we didn’t usually have long conversations, we never talked about religion or economics
the most likely reason we would have a lengthy chinwag was if there was something happening within the family or with a close relation
she got up and went to the kitchen, filled her hot water bottle, and come back into the living room and sat back down
i said, “i don’t think you could get to sleep if you didn’t have a hot water bottle”
she replied in a sincere tone, “no, i don’t think i could”
she then stood up and went to the window, stood there for a few seconds and said: “do you think it’s going to rain ?”
i’d never heard her comment on the weather before going to bed before and it took me by surprise
she remained standing, and in that silent moment i realised she was thinking of going out
i said, half-jokingly “you’re not thinking of going for a walk are you ?”

second dream: the name of the dream: toast, thigh, matches, dog
had just toasted and buttered two slices of thin white toast
broke off a piece from one of the slices and because the bread was thin the butter had soaked into the toast and gave it a succulent texture
i knew on the first bite i would be making another two slices as soon as i had eaten the two in front of me
second theme: a girl was writing a word, her name i think, on the upper-outer part of her thigh, the word had about seven letters and began with a q
how a person could write a word that precisely and in a style of font that had as much style as it did i will never know; the letters were exactly spaced and perfectly even
third theme: needed a light for a cigarette
entered a garage forecourt, made my way to the shop beyond the petrol pumps and saw the boxed matches on the top shelf as soon as i got to the counter
walking away from the shop a woman was smiling at me but i had passed her by before i could return the smile
without thinking i struck a match and lit up the fag as i was passing the pumps
fourth theme: while walking, i saw a woman feeding her dog, a brown huskie, with a titbit which she had placed on her thigh
the dog licked it off and looked at me

the top half of the door of the room was shatterproof glass
someone was trying to pass a message to me through a paper-thin crack between the door and the door-frame
he was saying something in an unsettling way which caused me to think he was mentally disturbed
the building was obviously a treatment centre for people in need of treatment for personality disorders

third dream: the name of the dream: singalong a think-read karaoke
was trying to “chat-up” a girl but wasn’t getting anywhere
a change of scene brought a five-verse song written in large words on a white background into the dream
i read and sang along with the words of the song for the first two lines but didn’t have to read any more than that
i began singing along with a song i’d never seen or heard before but somehow i knew the tune and could sing along with it without having to read the lines
when it got the third verse, which was the chorus, the girl i had been trying to woo joined in and we sang the song together to the end
notes 1
it strikes me as odd that i should know the words and tune of a song in a dream i’ve never heard before
it was a catchy little tune, not a number one, but certainly a tune i would have remembered if it was awake-time memory
this dream tells us that the dream-time memory has the same mechanism as the awake-time memory: it brings memories of previous experiences to the fore when stimulated by present-time experiences

second dream: the name of the dream: connivance
in the living room of someone else’s house with a girl who had been a girlfriend or i wanted her as a girlfriend
she was friendly enough, even flirtatious, but that was about as far as it went for about another two or three scenes
she then became “available” and really led me on by sitting on me while i was sitting on the couch
as she was seated on me and facing away it was easy for me to lean all the way down onto my back with her still on top of me
she let my hands go anywhere i wanted to put them
it wasn’t long before my hands were inside her trousers
as i was pulling her pants down, through the periphery of my vision, i saw a male walk through the room
i was looking at her as he passed through and i saw her give him a smile and a quick nod
i knew the gesture for what it was, an assurance to him that i would be staying put
the heat of the xual moment gave way to my thoughts as i wondered what is was they were up to
i settled on the probability he was going to my place to nick something
i had nothing worth stealing and decided that what i was doing more valuable than anything i had and so carried on filling my senses with pleasure
the dream changed into a montage… the first ever black and white montage
there were about twenty-five pictures in the sequence
the first five or six pictures continued as an extension of the dream with the girl on the couch, i.e. an xual theme with a little motion in them
they were all simple one-line drawings that passed across the conscious more quickly as the sequence played through
the awareness of being in awake-time consciousness didn’t become obvious until the seventh or eighth picture
none of the pictures is still vivid in the memory as this is being typed
notes 1
this is the first black and white montage
the first half-dozen or so pictures are a break from the trend of all other montages in that i wasn’t aware of being awake
this montage is love/life getting the most out of the experiences which can happen in universal-time and which appear to be endless, but stay focused people, true endlessness is reserved for love/time

first dream – the name of the dream: fire at the railway station
on the bus, on my way home i think
one of the stops on the bus route was at the railway station
at the stop before the station, a voice asked us all to stop on the bus at the next stop
didn’t know why we were being asked to stay on the bus but i did know i was in a hurry to do something when i did get off the bus several stops further on
i got to the front of the bus but the doors were almost closed
there was a gap between the bottom of the doors big enough for me to squeeze through which meant i would have to go through feet first
off the bus and as i neared the station the reason for being asked to stay on the bus became clear… there were twenty-metre flames raging into the air from the main part of the building
the station was at the bottom of a dip
i had gone down the hill and back up the other side when i looked back it was a complete view of the station and a hundred or so metres of the tracks
the flames weren’t evident but a thick black smoke was spewing out of where the dome of the station
it looked like a volcano erupting
coming up the incline to where i was there were four or five-hundred people with estranged looks on their faces

within half a minute i said the same or something similar to cousin jim just loud enough for her to hear
she took a coin out of her purse and offered it to me
again, i convinced her it didn’t matter to me
a third time i said to cousin jim “i wonder why she didn’t get me anything?”
aunt moo, ever-patient, went into her purse again and brought out a coin
i protested most convincingly it didn’t matter
i waited for aunt moo to put the coin back in her purse and said to her, “how much were you going to give me ?”
aunt moo gave out a three-phase guttural laugh and then a two-phase softer laugh

second dream: the name of the dream: chef par excellence
a four or five-scene dream
enjoyed yesterday’s multi-veg soup so much i decided to start keeping various uneaten vegetables in the deep freeze using small, labelled jars
found think-writing on a curve was too difficult and it brought me out of this dream

second dream: the name of the dream: merging conscious states
i was invited to a party
i was expecting a music party but there wasn’t any music, in fact there wasn’t a party atmosphere at all, it was more of a “laid-back lounge party” with a dozen people sitting and reclining in a comfortably furnished large living room
next scene, a grown man, about six-feet-three, lean but not skinny and wearing a white shirt and jacket was standing in front of me with a cigar-sized joint in his mouth
when he took it out of his mouth i held out my hand and said: “may i ?”
he said “of course” and handed it to me
i took a few drags and became relaxed
next scene, the man from the previous scene sat down next to me and we got to chatting
after a few sentences when the topic of girls came up more than once i realised what he wanted… the person who had organised the party had invited him along as she knew i knew a lot of girls (i had a photo studio which brought men and women together, ostensibly “for photo-shoots”)
as is the way of the world though, when a man sees a woman in alluring clothes the idea of aesthetic photo’s is replaced by other thoughts and feelings
the women knew this of course and they too wanted more than just photo’s of themselves
he wanted me to set up a “photo-shoot” and let me know by emphasising certain words what was on his mind
i considered the options and a girl that fitted the bill came to mind
i said “sylvia” would be agreeable
then i realised that sylvia was a dream-time girl
i let out a disbelieving sound, shook my head and said to him “i don’t believe it. sylvia is not a real girl but i girl i occasionally dream about. i have just suggested to you a girl that only exists in my dreams” and woke from the dream more or less straight away after that
notes 1
this blurred mixing of conscious-states is happening more frequently
it can be of a matter of proving it if we keep statistics of the length of time spent in r.e.m. throughout this millennium
the proof will be if r.e.m. is shown to be increasing from generation to generation
also, it should be borne in mind that if it is the case that the dream-time conscious becomes the dominant conscious then the schedule of it happening at is already fixed… (as it happened last undulation, so too will it happen next undulation)
we can get an insight as to what we will be able to do when we can mix the two states of consciousness by watching this video

first dream: the name of the dream: out walking
i was out walking and the weather wasn’t an issue
was wearing a dark brown suede jacket with a single vent, formal black trousers, a white shirt and light-brown casual soft shoes with thick soles (my current most comfortable walking shoes)
my legs didn’t feel either strong or weak, it was the feeling in my feet that made things sweet, while i was walking
there was a shallow, uneven and gravelly path with some large stones in it which caused my feet to slide and slip, while i was walking
the heels of my feet could feel the solid ground underneath, as i was walking
my feet weren’t splayed or pigeon-ed but almost dead straight, while i was walking
about twenty metres up ahead of me up i could see a boy too young to be asking for a hand-outs asking passer’s by for a hand-out , when i was out walking
i dug out the change from my right pocket and without changing my stride sorted the coins into a column by size, as i was walking
the boy held out his hand and i put about fifteen coins in it, a few steps ahead i swivelled my body and head and saw the boy totting up the amount, as i carried on walking
and then in town i gazed around and saw the eyes in a female looking in mine, i was feeling fine, i was smiling as i was walking
this was me as i was meant to be, gratefully alive with a gliding stride, as i am walking

this dream is the result of a new feeling of an added balance to my steps earlier on in the day

second dream: the name of the dream: put in my place
walking through the centre of town on a very wide paved area with my new girlfriend
she was an american who i really fancied and i was demonstrating, as we were walking, how well we were suited
she was to the right of me, my arm was slung over her shoulder in an exaggerated casual manner, and i was gesticulating with my free arm as we were walking and talking
it soon became clear that her feelings towards me weren’t anything like my feelings towards her
in a way that let me know that she wasn’t at all keen on me she dropped her shoulder down and forward which caused my arm to slide down her back
i got the message loud and clear
she then suggested that i put my school grades on all future correspondence, as was the american way
it then dawned on me her interest wasn’t in me but in my biography, she was doing a “write-up” on me
it was a real knock to my ego
and that was the end of the dream

first dream: the name of the dream: money in the bank
this dream was a two-scene dream revolving around a query to do with my bank account
not sure who contacted who first but in the first scene a figure of £312 was quoted
the figure was spoken to me over the phone and it differed to the amount i had showing in front of me on the computer screen
i asked the person, a male, to verify the number and he did so but with a bit of rancour in his voice
was wondering why his tone of voice had changed when, without noticing the dream had ended, it was replaced by a thought concerning the detail in the development of a new platform which i first thought of yesterday (see wanted)

the name of the dream: cats and something else
in the company of an unknown person
had a pedal bike with a basket on the front
tried to ride up a steep gradient but it was too much of an effort so i got off and pushed it
a new scene, was now walking in the same area
came across a smokey-coloured cat with a thick coat, there was also some people nearby
i stroked the cat and i could tell it was enjoying it by the way it kept re-positioning itself back into the same position
another scene, another cat
with this cat, i gave it a long stroke along the entire length of its back
when the stroke was around its hindquarters i noticed it’s back legs buckled a bit so i itchy-scratched around its tail and the cat responded by lowering the back of its body to the ground which i took as a signal to itchy-scratch harder, which i did
then the cat lay on its side to get comfortable and moved into a different position and presented that part of its body it wanted to be massaged/scratched/stroked
the people in the dream began letting out sounds of appreciation as they could see the cat was experiencing a new level of gratification
at the top of the hill, a woman brought an animal out of her jacket and stretched out her arms for me to take the animal
if it had been your run-of-the-mill cat i would have held it but it wasn’t and i didn’t try to hold it
the animal had an elongated snout which made me think it was part fox and it gave me a look that exuded personality (the stand-out bit of the dream)
i said to the woman “it looks like a cross between a cat and a fox”
the woman said “yes. it’s got fox in it”

first dream: the name of the dream: the stretch hallway
had been measuring the size of the bed and the sofa and trying to arrange a more comfortable and practical way of using the total area available in the living room the day before this dream
whether to use the fold-down sofa-mattress on the bed… would it be better to change the positions of the bed and sofa… buy a new bed and keep the sofa… buy a smaller sofa and keep the bed where it was… try and fit in a small dining table… perhaps a half-metre coffee table…
the first scene of the dream showed a hallway
the view of the hallway showed the entrance door to the building halfway along the hallway on the left with there being two metres to the entrance door and about the same distance beyond the door to the end of the hallway
with each new scene, the hallway became longer and wider as each new item that i had considered in awake-time found a place in the dream
by the end of this five, six or seven-scene dream the hallway had become ridiculously big
the point of view remained the same but now there were a plethora of items all made of a dark-brown glistening wood
the first item was a high-back antique chair, then there was a low-level coffee table and then there was another chair the same style as the first one, they had exquisite style (the stand-out scene )
beyond that, there was a longish gap to the next piece of furniture, another classy all-wood four-seater dining table
a metre or two after that was the entrance-door where a woman was greeting people coming through it
some metres past the front door there looked to be a glass partition separating the hallway from the kitchen
notes
this dream is a classic example of the pde’s forming the theme and content of the dream

the name of the dream: all’s well that fits well
out and about shopping for clothes for a shirt for a particular occasion or reason, what the reason was eludes me as i’m typing
came across a downmarket men’s clothes shop that was having a “bargain basement” sale of half-decent items
found a shirt that was a good fit almost immediately
out of the shop bumped into arnold and told him that i had come across a shop with exceptional value-for-money clothes
being a big lad he was a bit sceptical the shop would have clothes that would fit him but not wanting to miss a “photo op” he came with back to the shop with me
the shop did have a jacket of his size and when he tried it on it was slightly bigger across the shoulders than it ought to be but to his surprise the extra width suited him and he was well pleased with it
if arnold could get a jacket that fitted him then i shouldn’t have any problem getting something that fitted me
asked the salesperson, a male, if he had a dark suit with pinstripes
the sales person took me to a rack of clothes with about fifty pin-striped suits on it (the stand-out part of the dream)
and, like arnie, i was over the moon with the style and cut of it, it was a perfect fit and to top it off it only cost a fiver
took arnold to see a family i knew from my awake-time childhood
there were duly impressed that i knew a celebrity and were basking in his company when the dream ended

4th dream: the name of the dream: leading nowhere
was in the living room of the house of one of the two ladies in this dream
the ladies had just folded a long white lead, which was going back to where it came from
there were three or four parts of the lead where the folds were sticking out at both ends
both of the women were concerned that it wouldn’t be acceptable, which made me think it was going back to where they bought it from
i said “in less than five minutes i can make it look neat”
the woman who would be taking it back to the shop wasn’t sure about the suggestion and didn’t say or indicate yes or no
i tried to encourage her and said “c’mon we’ll do it in two minutes”
the woman still hadn’t agreed when the dream ended

3rd dream: the name of the dream: coffee and pants
the first scene, on a train and nearing the stop i would be getting off
the second scene, got off the train and went to get a hot drink
got into a conversation with a male in his mid-twenties who enthusiastically agreed to swap a pair of trousers for a cup of coffee and enough blow to make a joint
got the coffee but spilt it and had to go and get another one
told him i had some more blow if he wanted it and again he agreed but we never struck up another swap-deal before the theme of the dream changed

2nd dream: the name of the dream: the athletic me
it was a summer’s day
i was feeling good, probably feeling athletic would be a better description
i was wearing a beige t-shirt with a black-“splash” pattern and was running along an open platform of what i presume was a train station
to save going all the way to the end of the platform and crossing the tracks via the stairs i jumped over a wooden palette which was sloped over what i presume were tracks, although there were no rail-tracks anywhere in this scene or any in any part in the whole of this dream
the palette was there to enable items that were too awkward to be carried over the stairs
at the height of the jump over the palette i caught my foot on the top of it and fell at a bit of an angle but managed to avert hurting myself by deftly putting out my right hand and bending my arm at the elbow which transferred the weight of my body through my arm and took the jolt out of the fall without any other part of my body touching the floor
it was quite an impressive move and two elderly women, who had both seen it, each gave the other their account of what had just happened

second dream: the name of the dream: nice spice
the first scene, in a woman’s home, having a conversation
the woman had a tanned face, i think she was carribean
she had an inviting charm, every time she finished a sentence she teeth-smiled which had a captivating quality
the subject became food, spicy food in particular
next scene, there was a four-seater table with a cream-coloured table cloth
the table had about seven main dishes and equally as many sundry foods (the stand out part of the dream)
i was invited to try them all
i tried about four before the dream ended and each one had a distinct taste and colour; one, in particular, that looked like it had kiwi fruit as the main food, was especially nice
addenda: vividness 4 – participant – the category of the dream: food () spiced/curried (1)
first dream: the name of the dream: pedal bikes and cars
three of us had super-sleek pedal bikes
we were in our late teens, had the strength of men and the outlook of adventurer’s, which is what youthfulness is all about
each of us fancied his self as being a little bit more adventurous than the other two but i demonstrated it by doing daring things without the others
the pedestrian crossing ten metres before the busy junction in the area we lived had a policeman permanently on watch either on the pedestrian “stand-and-wait” in the middle of the road or overseeing the crossing from one or the other side of the road
tonight he was in the stand-and-wait area
it was easy to get him to give chase
all i had to do was ride at full pelt into the junction without slowing or signalling when turning left or right
tonight there was no traffic to speak of and no people crossing the road which meant i could be even more reckless than usual
with his heavy-framed bike with its thick rubber pedals, it was a no-contest situation especially if i turned left into the twenty-five degree inclined road
my two “partners in crime” were watching from nearby over on the right
i was still accelerating as i entered the junction when this dream ended and went seamlessly into this dream… three of us in two super slick cars
i was driving one car solo while the other car had two people in it
although we had much faster cars we were outnumbered
it only took a scene or two for the police to block me in and left me with no choice but to ditch the car, head for home and try to bluff my way out of being involved in whatever it was the police wanted me for
i had been in the house long enough to get undressed and fill the bath by the time the police arrived
i let them into the house, told them i was going to the toilet and went upstairs
they followed me upstairs and i had sit on the toilet naked with five men leaning against the wall in the bathroom
i took a good look at the faces of the plain-clothed policemen as they stood there, not watching me but smug in the knowledge that they had got me “bang to rights”
my conviction wasn’t as “done and dusted” as they thought
all i had to do was not say anything that could incriminate me

the name of the dream: the tall guy
the first couple of scenes are missing from this dream
of the ones remembered…
first scene, talking with someone i didn’t know and we decided a party was a good idea
he in turn introduced me to another guy who was more of a party animal
the next scene, the original person i spoke to had left the dream and now i was standing in front of the lad he introduced me to
he was so tall i had to strain my neck a bit to look up into his eyes, it was like i was looking up to see the top of a skyscraper
i said “sheesh, you’re tall” and thought to myself he’s at least six-feet five
i looked down at his shoes to see if they had built-up heels, they did
i looked back into his face and said “six-feet two”
he immediately corrected me and said “six-feet four”
with the built-up heels was almost seven-foot, the tallest person i’d ever seen close up
we began walking and talking
i tried to impress upon him my party-animal credentials and told him about an awake-time situation when i was sixteen or seventeen and had been to a party every night for two weeks
the first party was on my birthday,17th december, and the last one was on new-years night
the next scene, the lad in the first scene, the tall young man and myself had left the pavement and were walking around the corner of a solitary block of flats of three or four storeys and which was on the last well-kept field before going into the country-side proper
the two people i was with decided they wanted to have a bit of “fun”
there idea of a bit of fun was to tie a bit of strong, square elastic rope to two bits of wood driven into the firm ground and use it as a catapult to aim at the ground-floor flat where the occupants were clearly visible as they was moving about the room
can remember feeling uneasy about what they wanted to do but didn’t say anything
the dream ended
notes 1
the feeling of unease in the last scene represents feelings during the day when, if i had dwelt on a certain situation, it would have quite possibly affected the outcome of this dream for the worse
remember, in order to enter dream-time

fifth dream: the name of the dream: out of sync
the first scene, this dream was set outdoors in a college or university-type environment
i looked at my wristwatch and it showed 10:27 but i felt the need to cross-check it with someone else
the person i asked looked at his watch and i could see it showed 10:40
we were both unsure which of us was right
the man i asked turned to a passer-by and asked him
the time showing on the watch of the third persons was a different time again but all three of the different times were within thirty minutes of each other
it started a chain-reaction of people comparing the time of their watch with someone else
everybody was out of sync by between five to ten minutes or so within a two-hour slice of time
everybody was completely bamboozled and all manner of theoretical propositions were being considered when the dream ended
notes 1
as with the dream of 29042019 it is felt that this dream has a significance but with this dream i have no idea at all what it is
notes 2
given the mixed content of the dreams in this, the second sleep of the day, the vividness of the three dreams is a bit of a mystery

fourth dream: the name of the dream: murderer
the location for this dream was the previous address to where i’m currently living
i woke up and saw a large bloke sleeping on scaffolding outside of my window
he just didn’t look right
he weighed about 130 kilograms (20 stone), most of which was blubber and looked more like quasimodo in the film “the hunchback of notre dame” than a normal person
he unnerved me
the more i studied his face the more convinced i became that he was the sort of person would kill me just to see my reaction as i was dying
i became scared and felt my life was in danger
i screamed out “murderer”
i kept on shouting it at the top of my voice
the third time i shouted it out he opened his eyes
his expression was confusion and perplexion, i kept on yelling murderer, i must have called the word out ten times in the dream
he never looked at me once and i eventually concluded he wasn’t going to kill me but until that moment when i felt safe i was gripped with a fear that was the stuff of a nightmare
addenda: vividness 4.5 – participant – the category of the dream: fear (4 ?) threat of death
third dream: the name of the montage: widescreen images
up until this image sequence all pictures and scenes in montages had been square shaped
for the first time in a montage, there was a mixture of different formats
first, there were two or three square-shaped images, then there were two laptop screen-sized images and the last image completely filled my field of vision
the last scene was a moving scene and it took me completely by surprise
so much so, it caused me to wake out of the semi-sleepy state that accompanies the montage state of mind to a fully awake, eyes open conscious state
notes 1
this made me think that the only type of scene/image format left for the mind to present to the memory is 360-degree scene or image

second dream: the name of the dream: competence in think-writing
was with a friend of a friend, both men were from iran
the friend of the friend was established as a businessman in food and entertainment
the first time we had a conversation i managed to convince him that after his clients had eaten i would be able to entertain them in an unused building adjoining his restaurant
he was taken with the idea and asked me to write down my number
he handed me a sheet of paper that already had a list with about twenty contact numbers on it
there was only enough room on the paper to write one more number
i looked for a table to place the paper on and write my number but there wasn’t one, nor was there a book or anything that could be used to place the paper on and write
it’s possible the man knew it wouldn’t be possible for me to write on the paper because there wasn’t anything in the room to write on and he was testing me to see how i overcome the problem
as can be the case with dreams, the dream-time conscious can draw from other dreams
on this occasion, it was from the dream of 08102014
i whipped out my magic pen and went to the nearest wall and started to write the number
wouldn’t you know it, the wall had a fine lumpy finish to it and made writing smoothly impossible (it should have, but didn’t, occur to me to go to the door and use that)
so now i had to go over just about every number twice while remembering my phone number
that i managed to remember my phone number, think-write it and write it on a bumpy surface (the number was all over the place… different sizes, different angles… but readable) is a new level of competence for me in dreams

first dream: the name of the dream: pleasure without conjoinment
a rumour, which may or may not be true, had got about that i knew how to produce more pleasure for a female without conjoinment than women were experiencing with conjoinment
a young lady, accompanied by two of her friends, had set up a meeting to find out if it was true
her two friends were watching while seated on a two-seater couch that was against the wall two metres from the bed and facing it
the girl and i got into bed and went under the covers
although under the sheets there was plenty of light for us to see each other
the girl had taken her top off and was in a half reclining and half sitting position
i reached over and using one finger stroked her nipple in an upward motion without touching any other part of her
her body responded and her nipple grew larger and harder
a slight of touch in her inner-groin caused her to make a sound of pleasure
i spoke “please don’t make any sounds. it takes away from the pleasure”

the name of the dream: deliberately demeaning
standing in a room that had a bare floor with a broom in my hand waiting for the people in the room to leave so as i could finish sweeping it
the room was on the first floor of a building that was being used as a care home for people of mixed ages and gender
while waiting for the room to empty someone threw a glass ashtray onto the floor
the ashtray broke into a dozen pieces of different sizes near my feet
swept it together into a little pile and pushed it into the main pile that was already gathered
to my left were two were women one of whom was the person-in-charge and who was criticising me
she asked why i wasn’t finishing the sweeping to which i replied with a touch of sarcasm “i’m waiting for you to go so i can do the area you’re in”
she realised she was in the wrong and started walking away
the next scene, i, along with a few other people, were waiting for two professional cleaners to do some work which needed the coordinated effort of two people
in another scene, the carer-in-charge was outside of the building
she had looked up to the room i was in and saw a tall glass, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom with a seven-centimetre glass stem
the glass was seven-eighths full with orange juice and said she suspected there was liquor in it; there was some liquor in it but too little for it to be noticed
the next scene, the carer was in the room and accused me of drinking, i said “that drinks harmless”
she thought she was going to be able to admonish me and get her own back for me admonishing her
she drank more than three-quarters of the juice in one swallow and i could tell she couldn’t taste the liquor in with the orange juice and was satisfied i hadn’t been “drinking on the job”
she mellowed and left the dream
another scene, the two professional cleaners had arrived
the only thing professional about them was their rate, £80 per hour ! and the dull orange-coloured overalls which had the letters v.p.c. in glistening grey on a patch over their left side of their chest’s
when you got close enough in microscopically small letters between the v, p and c were “ery rofessional leaners” became readable
they looked and acted like people who were living “rough” but had a haughty attitude which invited derision
they got on with whatever it was they were there to do
those of us in the room started to make “cracks” about them, “do you think if we gave them another quid they would do a decent job of it”, another was, “aren’t those overalls the ones convicts wear ?” was another
there was a lull in the wisecracking when a folding room-divider was collapsed and revealed that the two cleaners had been in the room while we were talking about them
they looked completely defeated

second dream: the name of the dream: a pigeon in the toilet
walking past a toilet that was a little below ground level when an unusual sound caught my attention
went inside the toilet and saw a couple of young lads aged about ten tormenting a pigeon which i assume had come through the window by mistake
when the two lads saw me they stopped what they were doing and left the toilet and the dream
the next scene, in what seemed to be an exact replay of the first scene, i went through the same door and this time there were ten pigeons and a large white bird, it may have been a seagull, which seemed to be trying to help the pigeons get through a small window and onto the ground that was level with the window
in this scene the pigeon that was in the first scene was pruning itself
the pigeon had its beak buried into the feathers at that part of its body where the end of its body and its tail joined (you must have seen a pigeon or another type of bird pruning itself this way. this was the stand-out bit of the dream)
the third scene, again i went through the same door and saw the same pigeon that was in the first scene was still there and on its own as it must have been before the two young boys walked in on it
was considering throwing a towel or cloth over it and picking it and putting it outside the window when the dream ended

first dream: the name of the dream: architectural flair
three pictures of different houses
each picture lasted about three-quarters of a second of dream-time
the houses were in the same street of a suburban area
all three of the dwellings had an equal amount of ground area and all three had a grass front lawn
it was difficult to assess the size of the buildings, probably not more than two-storeys

if you’re not sure what a rotary club is, imagine a darby and joan club without any men
this dream was set in a large function room with about two-hundred women
the dream started when i sat down in the first unoccupied seat at the table nearest to me after entering the room
i turned the woman to my left and said “hello, my name is john and i would like to accompany you home when you go”
she looked at me gone out and said “what gave you the idea i would want you to come home with me ?” i replied “a man outside said this was a notoriety club” i knew this dream was going to be a fun dream when she said in all seriousness “it’s not a notorious club, it’s a rotary club”
in the next vacant seat to the left of the woman i had just sat down with at the long two-sided table with about thirty women seated along it i said to the woman “i’ll give you this gold one pound coin if you give me the gold sugar coffee spoon” (this dream isn’t called “the posh all-female rotary club” for nothing ) she replied “this is a 24 carat spoon. it’s worth a lot more than a pound” my reply was “but these are 45-carat gold coins” she said “there’s no such thing as a 45-carat gold pound coin” i said “yes there is. that’s how many carrots it took to make enough carrot juice to get doe smith tipsy”
at the next seat, i said to the woman “if you give me a pound i’ll tell you your future” she gave me a pound and i said “thanks. the next time someone asks you for a pound to tell you your future you won’t give it to them”
there were a couple more gags but they’ve gone into hiding somewhere in my memory after the hour and a half it took to get this much typed

second dream: the name of the dream: a great dream, almost
on holiday in holland
it was great weather
i felt light and my legs felt strong enough to do just about anything i asked them to do
was wearing a white top and a fairly tight pair of black strides which were cut just right for my physique as they highlighted my buttocks (my best feature) perfectly
this day had the potential to be historic
in another scene, was looking for somewhere to sit and “put one together”
two vacant wooden tables about eight-metres away to my left caught my eye and i began walking towards them looking at the vegetables on an open stall as i walked
at the moment i became aware of a man to the left of me making a gesture and was about to say something i realised was not walking alongside a stall but was between two stalls and walking through his place of business
i shook my head in acknowledgement and as an apology and we both smiled as i about-turned
in another scene, had found somewhere to sit outside of a cafe
went into the cafe and ordered a coffee
the man behind the counter began getting the drink when i realised i had a flask of coffee in my backpack
i said sorry to the assistant and asked for coffee-cake instead of coffee but he looked sullen; the mood of the dream had changed
a man tapped me on the shoulder and stretched out his arm with three notes, two fives and a twenty, in his hand
i cottoned on straight away and felt my back pocket
the cloth of the inside of the pocket was pulled out and one or two other notes were ready to fall out
my first instinct was to give the man who had picked up the money that fell out the pocket as i walked into the cafe a five-note but then the enormity of the loss hit me
i had all of my holiday money with me, four hundred or more, and now i had less than a hundred
what was going to be enough for ten days had been reduced to a weekend
the sense of loss made me feel depressed and it wasn’t until i starting waking from the dream that the sense of loss gradually faded

first dream
the name of the dream: dreaming of sleeping
was fast asleep when two men in their early twenties woke me out of my sleep
one of the men was six-foot-three, weighed about fourteen stone and he was giving the other person, a lad about the same age but lighter and smaller and who was lying in a bed at the bottom of my bed, a bit of earache
don’t know what the issue was, all i knew was i had been woken
i flipped the covers off me and swung my legs out of bed and sat up
i said to the big bloke “who are you ?” he replied with a dismissive reply that implied he was bigger than me and he could do what he wanted because he was bigger
i considered getting a heavy pan from the kitchen and whacking him with it but that would only mean i would be up all night being quizzed by the police
resigned myself to having to try to go to sleep while they were talking and lay back down

the name of the dream: a dreamer’s dream
this dream was an informative dream about dreams
with this dream, love/life has, in a surprisingly uncharacteristic way, separated what is available in dreams for evolving beings and devolving beings
it revealed that entering the dream world is a progressive or structured process
when a specific level of interaction with the dream-time conscious occurs it opens up levels of access to more sophisticated dream content
the dream itself was a three-scene dream
the first two scenes gave the dreamer both a limited form of dream content and the second scene presented to the dreamer open-ended content
the first scene, a quite vivid picture containing some movement of people, was very brief
it was replaced by the second scene of an extending space of white light almost immediately
the contrast between the two scenes was obviously meant to denote both finite and unlimited scenarios
the third scene, a fifteen-year-old steve davis sitting on a pommel horse or perhaps it was a fun rocking horse, looking amazed and with a tinge of awe, as the scene/picture brightened over a two or three second period while the detail of the picture zoomed in on his face

there are indications that women will become more assertive further on into evolution

first dream: the factory hideaway
people were looking all over for me
was wanted for something and i wasn’t going to just hand myself over
ducked into a large factory and managed to evade capture by lying down flat on the top shelf of a three or four tiered metal structure in the storage room until the night shift started filling the dream
the night shift wanted to know what the people were doing in the factory
the people looking for me couldn’t say they were looking for someone and because they couldn’t give a good reason for being there they were manhandled from the premises
second dream: sausages saved the day
going away for a holiday or a day out
a large contingent of friends and family had assembled and the mood of the day was turning grey because my brother, or it could have been a close friend, wasn’t going to go unless he could have the food he wanted
the kind of food he wanted became the sticking point and the day out was on the verge of being scrapped
the day was saved and the holiday mood returned when the final scene of the dream showed a deep fat fryer and a string of sausages about to be lowered into it
third dream: ordinariness
in a foreign country trying to remain anonymous
was hoping to live my life just like any other ordinary person
made an agreement with the owner of a cafe on a street corner who agreed to let me sit outside with my tripod and camera and take portrait photo’s of people passing by providing i ate and drank in his cafe
it was good weather and everything went well for a while until people who knew where i had come from began letting me know they knew where i was
it was just going to be a matter of time before people began trying to manipulate into doing this, that or the other
one man in his mid-twenties who i knew well from back home walked past me with a smile which said “your our’s”
i woke from this dream to hear myself saying “it’s like home from home around here”

the name of the dream: laughter, a cause of productivity ?
woke out of my sleep laughing in the wee early hours (about 3 a.m.)
it put me in such a good mood i used the buoyant feeling it produced to imagine i was in a quiz show in which it was acceptable to rib the other members of the show by slandering them with a tirade of polysyllabic nonsense along the lines of…the inexcusably redundant descriptive nature of (*****?’s, name of another guest of the show) persistently inconsistent gobbledegook is demonstrative of the kindergarten mentality and mannerisms associated…

the name of the dream: what’s more important than money ?
there were three men, of which i was one, vying to become the “main man” in the life of a middle-aged woman
the woman had more money than she knew what to do with
what she did know was that she liked men and would let the main man in her life have as much money as he wanted
that was where i was an advantage, i was more interested in x than money
she was happy with the current main man but, as most of the men in her life done, he let his desire for her money override his basic function, which from the woman’s point of view, was to keep her satisfied
my chance came when he slipped up and he tried to get the woman to let him sign her cheques in his name
the woman was generous to a fault but when the man let his greed for money get in the way of keeping her satisfied the man became boring
the woman herself was bigger than me, just a little plump but there was strength aplenty in those thighs
in the next scene, my main rival was no longer in the dream
the woman was reclining in bed and was wearing a loose, silky, thigh-length dressing gown that just about covered her crotch area
i was sitting up and on the left side of her with my hand resting on her knee when a movement caused my hand to fall onto her inner, upper-thigh, it really was sensuous to the touch (the stand-out bit of the dream)
she took my hand off her leg to let me know it was her who made the first move
in the next scene, it was just the two of us
i got off the bed and started for the door
she asked “where are you going ?”, i replied “to wash my hands. i want my hands to be clean when i touch you”
it was a lie
i was going to the bathroom to cut and then file my nails so she wouldn’t feel them at all while i was touching her
she was going to get “the treatment”

the name of the dream: in a quandary
the last couple of scenes of the x dream were of us kissing meaningfully
it was then followed by a relationship dream
b and i were living in different locations
for either one of us to see the other, it meant being away from where the other lived overnight
our relationship was a solid one
if one or the other had asked the other to get engaged or married it would have happened seamlessly, without a second thought
i had a gig on the following night that would go on until the early morning
although b could have accompanied me, we wouldn’t have been together in the way she wanted
i could tell from the way she reacted to my suggestion that she go back home and i join her the following day that was what she preferred to do
i was considering giving the work for the following night to someone to do for me so we could be together
if i stayed where i lived b would be doing things without me the following day and night
neither of us liked the idea of us being apart for two days and one night; it would be something that had never happened before
although we both had constructive things we could do in the absence of the other it simply didn’t seem right that we should be apart for the better part of forty-eight hours
at the end of the dream, i said something like”we might be able to be together” although my thoughts were bouncing form possibility to another

second dream
the name of the dream: it takes two to tango
a sequence of about half a dozen pictures
each picture was a youtube posting explaining the various key phrases relating to brexit; hard brexit, backstop, customs union, single market…
notes 1
in that this picture sequence is topical (the second dream about brexit in two weeks) the initial thought was that it was something that i was being prompted to do it
using the search phrase “brexit terms explained” the youtube postings did have short video clips explaining the most common words and phrases
this is the url the search term returned
it will be used in the next posting on brexit, perhaps it is something googoliers may want to employ

the name of the dream: two is company, three’s trouble
it was late at night during the summer
didn’t have to but was taken with the notion to spend the night sleeping on a bench in the park
i wasn’t alone though, had the company of a new pet dog
had plenty of soft fabrics and we were settled in comfortably
the dog was already in a sleeping position with its nose nuzzled in between its hind leg and stomach
i thought we could be even more snug so i moved him from my thighs to my stomach
now we both felt more than just two beings together, we were bonding
it was perfect, but…
three young boys came into the dream
they were looking for something unusual to experience
trouble was brewing

the name of the dream: school, food and a baby
with my youngest brother at his junior school
everybody except us had gone home
we were waiting for the kitchen lady to finish her duties and then we could scavenge the kitchen and have a feast
the next scene had us eating a jacket potato wrapped in silver foil (the stand-out bit of the dream)
after we had finished eating it was time for sleeping
to get to the room where we would be sleeping we had to go through a room with a baby in it
when we were in the room where we would be sleeping the baby started crying
one or two attempts to pacify the baby failed
another woman went to the baby, cupped the baby’s head in her hand, lifted the baby up and the baby stopped crying

second dream
the name of the dream: an ill wind
to start with i was an observer watching a film of instances of people being picked up and moved by the wind
had become a participant in the second scene
the wind picked me up about one-and-a-half metres into the air and dropped me down two or three metres away
then the wind was pushing me forward towards a cliff-edge
i didn’t have the strength in my legs to stop being pushed nor could i stop being moved forward when i tried digging my fingers into the ground
the wind subsided and i had enough time to push myself along on my bottom to a hedge with branches thick enough to hold onto
then i was observer again and a cow had been lifted up and was dropped down again
finally, a man in his tent was picked up and taken into the sky until he and the tent became too small to see

the name of the dream: the look of a hundred laughs
the first brief scene of this dream had my mother “the matchmaker”, and a girl and myself at a too-large-for-three table having a meal
within an instant mom had left the dream and the young lady and self were left looking at each other along the length of the table
the young lady was waiting for me to say something
the gentle girl, quite a big lass, had gone along with my mothers’ invitation to meet me in a somewhat intimate setting after seeing me on one or two occasions in recent weeks
she was ripe for a relationship, as she had been for all of her life, but her experience’s of men through her schooldays and early adulthood had produced in her a sombre view of them
unfortunately, women being the more responsible gender, have a more serious take on life
still, she wasn’t going to give up on love and her acceptance of meeting me socially told me we would be able to begin a friendship
we had in fact met in amicable circumstances some short time before when mom had told her i was selling my beloved giant t.v. and she eagerly snapped it up the moment she saw it
anyway, back at the table the conversation was polite but wasn’t going anywhere
i decided to have a bit of fun
there was a big event coming up which had captured the imagination of the world
it was something to do with a space habitation or expedition and it was going out live
the media build-up was immense and everyone was talking about it, come to think of it the young lady bought the t.v. for the occasion
two or three times, i casually alluded to not having a big screen t.v. to watch the big event and then began lamenting about the decision to sell mine
gradually, i introduced the idea i wouldn’t be able to see the show on t.v. because she had bought my t.v. at a time when i needed money and hinted she had taken advantage of my circumstances, in effect, she had stolen it
then, when i saw that she was becoming concerned i delivered the knock-out blow “if you hadn’t taken my telly i could have watched it”
she had taken the bait and swallowed it hook line and sinker
she threw me a look that was priceless
i was a child that needed admonishing
i began laughing and laughing and…
she got up from her chair and began walking towards me
i was laughing so long and so hard i fell from the chair and began struggling for breath, wheezing every time i breathed out
in the last scene, my girl was standing looking down at me writhing on the floor, it could go either way

the name of the dream: waiting for the waiter
yours truly was a last minute stand-in as a waiter at a wedding reception
the function room could accommodate about a third more people than there was for this wedding of about four-hundred people
there were roughly ten tables that stretched across the width of the room with each table able to seat about forty guests on each side
two waiters were at each end of each table and each waiter was expected to serve twenty people, which meant, in theory, the waiters should meet in the middle of the table at the same time
every waiter was at the end of the table waiting for me to get into position before the maître d’ waived his white cloth for us to begin doing our job
when i went to my designated position there was already a waiter there
it was a while before it was established where i should be and an air of impatience was starting to fill the room
when i did get into position there were three lads in their mid-teens at the end of the table who had taken their jackets off and grabbing the attention of the surrounding guests with unruly behaviour
whatever i was being paid for this job it wasn’t enough

the name of the dream: unstately behaviour in a stately place
a stately country house was putting on an open day for the general public
the theme of the event was an appreciation of the arts
what had drawn me to the event was that among dozens of presentations there was to be a performance of some of paganini’s music
first scene, about two kilometres away from the building i was heading for
it looked like an elegant fortress made of off-white stone, which gave it a slightly surreal appearance
the next scene, at about a hundred metres from the building, people were making their way through thick, tall privet hedges, like you see in a maze
beyond the hedges and sixty metres or so from the house, the pace of two girls who had just passed me and were now in in front of me was increasing noticeably
i picked up on their conversation… the seating for many of the performances were going to be limited and the rush was on to get a seat at the front
the only way i would get to the head of the queue was by running
the next scene, which was also the stand-out scene of the dream, i was in full flight
the sound of my feet was still resonating in my head as i woke
don’t know if i got a front seat but i definitely got there ahead of the girls

the name of the dream: a windfall
walking along the pavement in the late afternoon
danny, an african awake-time acquaintance i used to to see down the gym on a regular basis, came from behind me and said hello in his usual friendly, extrovert manner
within a few steps he whipped out two thick wads of notes from the inside pocket of his jacket
each wad was as thick as a wrist
he peeled about ten notes from each wad and handed them to me
i put them into my inside pocket and danny walked away at a fast pace
after he had gone i looked at the notes and saw they were ten and twenty denomination
they weren’t a currency i recognised but they looked genuine
as well as the number five or ten there was an intricate picture and a face on both sides of the notes
there was also a message on each note that read “you hated the eight note” was printed on the ten notes and “you hated the twenty-five notes” was printed on the twenty notes (the stand-out part of the dream)
in the next scene, a bit further along the street danny was the celebrity in amongst a small crowd of about eight or ten people

second dream
the name of the dream: the abducted girl
it took a while to work out this dream upon waking
in this dream i dreamt i had seen a girl who had been abducted and was the subject of a nationwide manhunt
i phoned the police and told them she was bound and gagged and that she was wearing a white blouse and a black skirt, the first stand-out part of the dream, and that she was being held in a lighthouse
being in a city nowhere near the coast the police thought it was unlikely
then i had another dream and was able to give the police a description of the building
the police arranged to meet me on the corner of the street near the phone booth i had called from
there was a long wait for the police so i went into a shop and bought a sherbet fountain
was sucking the liquorice stick and dabbing it into the sherbet powder, the second stand-out part of the dream, when the police arrived
in the next scene, a detective, the father of the girl and myself went to a building
the building had a circular, sloping walkway (the reason i thought it was a lighthouse)
the abductor, a young, lean glynn edwards, was coming down the slope as the detective was going up it
the detective went for him square on
immediately, i could see the detective was leaving himself wide open
sure enough, the abductor put him away with one punch
the father of the abductee, filled with anger and fury, was about to make the same mistake
i pushed passed the father of the abductee and before the abductor got to within arms length of me i kicked him hard in the goolies
as he was going down i gave him another kick in the face

first scene, in a pub and was introduced to billionaires who were financing a strategy to counter what was being done to them
in another scene, was introduced to the top ranking members of another organisation
in another scene, am in the thick of a battle
people were being shot and falling to the ground all around
seven metres in front of us a man with an automatic rifle was firing two rounds a second, the bullets were hitting the ground within a metre of us
a grenade landed within a body-length of me (the stand-out part of the dream)
dived to the ground and picked it up and threw it at the men with the automatic rifle
it landed next to him
before it exploded the scene changed
the scenes of battle kept on coming for another three or four scenes
in the last scene the man i was with said “i’m supposed to be on holiday” and i replied “what date were you supposed to go?”

the name of the dream: misplaced generosity
while in a cafe getting a hot drink i heard a girls voice say “i haven’t got enough”
i glanced over and saw two girls about fifteen
it was the perfect opportunty to be a knight in shining armour
in the next scene, the girl who first spoke was accepting a handful of change, mostly copper, from me
they were so genuinely appreciative i decided to go the whole hog and buy them something to eat
wanting to give them the feeling of independance i gave them my card to pay for it
unfortunately it backfired and they tried to pull a “fast one” on me
they acted on impulse and tried to do a “runner”
fortunately it was easy to beat them to the door and, realising they wouldn’t be able to get away, handed the card back to me
the thought of having what woud be the “key to the world” prompted them into becoming devious
in the next scene, the two girls and a grown male were at my door
one of the girls held out her hand and gestured that i take a piece of paper from her
realising that if i took the paper it would be a legal admission of knowledge of the girls so i didn’t take it and started to close the door
the male, who was obviously the brains behind the stunt, knew that the “con” was about to fail and moved to the front of the girls and tried to put the paper through the door before it closed
the door was almost, but not quite, closed and the male, and possibly the girls, began pushing against the door
there was then a whole scene in this dream of pushing and shoving (the stand-out part of the dream)
eventually, got the door closed and the dream ended

the name of the dream: thieves in the night
a crew of four of us had just set off to do a robbery
i was in the front passenger seat
almost immediately a police car came out of a road on the right and began chasing us
not sure how they knew we were on the way to do a robbery, they might have been tipped off
our driver was wearing a full-length white mac and had on sunglasses
he didn’t just look the part, he could drive
there then began a five-scene sequence of being chased
the sensations of acceleration and braking and being pressed first one way and then the other as we turned tight and long left and right turns were as real as they come, amazing
don’t know how long the memories of the sensations of this dream will last but as it is being written there are no awake-time memories as vivid as the sensations in this dream
one of the men sitting in the back was shouting out instructions to the driver
we turned off the main road and into a lane that ran along the back of some houses
the driver turned off the lights and drove by the light of the night
i thought we had lost them but after about forty metres the lights of the police car lit up the inside of the car and the surrounding area
the driver of our car didn’t look or act phased, we were still in with a chance of escaping…

we were celebrating because earlier on in the day it had been announced that britain had “thrown its hat into the ring” and would remain a fully-fledged member of the european union
we were planning the logistics of a party we would be hosting
the main detail to be settled was which corner of the junction next to the pub would be the best to set up the equipment
the pub was a few metres from the junction of bartholomew street east, north street, paul street and the iron bridge
in one scene, a man walked into the pub and looked over to where we were sitting and asked, with a tipsy slur in his voice, “where are the toilets?”
one of us pointed to our right and said “down there on the right”
as he walked towards the toilets one of us quipped something along the lines of “when you’ve made room for some more, come and have one with us”
he gave out a prolonged chuckle

a girl and a boy in the park
on a summers day when most people went to the beach, i went to the park
in the next scene, was settled into a fully relaxed frame of mind in partnership with my body
a girl i knew walked by
not sure who saw who first but we were chatting away comfortably in this, the next scene
in the next scene, a friend of the girl came into the dream and joined us
the dream took a dramatic turn when a tractor-sized digger came to within a few metres of us
before we had moved from the spot the digger was actively churning up the ground
the digger was uncomfortably close
a mishap could easily occur and cause a serious injury
i picked up the first girl in the dream, slung her over my shoulder and moved away
away from the sounds of digger i put the girl down and looked around for her friend
i said, “where’s you’re the friend ?”
she replied, “do we need her ?”
the implication was obvious
as my emotion’s stirred the dream ended

someone was looking for me
it was a young lad who had borrowed money from me before
he repaid the loan so it wasn’t that i thought he was a tricksters or didn’t trust him it was the thought of him using me as a loan company forever
he eventually caught up with me
i told him i could only lend him twenty pounds and that was enough to make his face light up but i gave him forty by mistake

a young lad, about seventeen, asked me to go with him to a disused building
we were on the first floor inside the building when he produced a black briefcase
he opened the briefcase and in it was about two-hundred-thousand pounds
the notes were twenty-pound notes in bundles of two-thousand pounds
in the next scene, i was in the street and walking away from the disused building
a bundle of the notes landed near my feet, i assume the lad in the first scene had thrown them from the building
in the next scene, a policeman was about thirty-five metres away and walking towards me
the policeman had seen me pick up the bundle of notes and had probably seen the young lad throw the bundle to me
in the next scene, the policeman was standing in front of me with a smile on his face
i guessed he knew what was going on
i knew he could question me and one thing would have led to another and i could have been taken into custody
i separated four of the notes from the bundle and gave them to him
the policeman said something and the dream ended

the vividness of a dream denotes the dreams time-tense
the higher the rating of the vividness of the dream the closer it is to the present and future
participant means the dream is drawn from your experiences of the present, past and future undulations, assuming your genetic line has reached further into the future in past undulations than where we are now
observer means the dream is not an experience you have had but is drawn from your ancestral genetic line (passed on through the genes) and, if your genetic line extends into the future, can be the experiences of your descendants
a dream can have content that is both as a participant and as an observer

second dream
the name of the dream
love: it’s the same old story
the wholly engrossing nature of this Dream-Montage sequence caused me to forget the first two or three scenes of the dream which preceded it
this dream-motion-montage sequence began with a woman and me in an embrace in a double bed-sized yakusi (without bubbles)
immediately, it was the clarity of the scene that filled the senses
it was so clear i was in awe
the sharp distinction of the cream and beige colours of our skin
the clarity was so marked, that as we moved the shadows we produced still allowed the darkened beige and cream colours of our skin to remain pronounced
(it was the same as the first time i saw a thirty-five millimetre colour still photograph through a stereo viewer*)
although we were both in the nude and kissing and holding in lots of different positions there was no desire to conjoin
you have probably experienced the same thing yourself
feeling emotionally fulfilled with kissing and embracing
the first three scenes, each one lasting fifteen or more seconds, were the most vivid
it went on and on
from the start to the finish, when the images became too dark and changed too quickly to see the detail, this dream-montage lasted about three and a half minutes
all in all, there was about two-hundred different motion-images
*a similar thing happened last year when i first saw a film through a virtual reality headset
notes 1
needed to go to the toilet after becoming fully awake and because i felt so relaxed and reinvigorated i thought the dream may have affected the way i looked so i decided to look at myself in the mirror
it was the best i’ve looked for eighteen months !
it is hoped that this dream-montage sequence will motivate those who are beginning to get a feel of what the future holds and it will encourage you to renew your efforts to become evermore ethically oriented
also, we need to appreciate the images in this dream are of two people reaping the effects of one person’s efforts
this in turn also reveals there is a woman somewhere who is doing routinely in her life what the writer did for just a couple of hours the day before this dream
even more inspiringly, the most loving feelings any person has or will have in an Awake-Time relationship is, compared to the heavenly state, no more than two people slumming it
the feelings of love in the heavenly state are transcendental (beyond the range of human experience)
it is not even possible to imagine what they are like !
all you need to know, is also all that i know, it can be attained

as the ship’s doctor on a luxury cruise my job was almost as much a holiday for me as it was for the passengers
an african man was getting his money’s worth by coming to me for the slightest thing
his third complaint was a stomach problem
i snook up on him in the restaurant just as he was starting the main course of his next meal
as i thought, he was over-eating and suggested he didn’t eat so much in future
he knew the jig was up and became sheepish
i was confident he wouldn’t call on me again and i could enjoy my holiday-job for the rest of the cruise

first dream
the name of a dream
abundance of people, abundance of motion
first scenes, in an environment where there were people everywhere
there was more or less a balance of people, with a slight majority of people who had chosen an ethical lifetyle
in the next scenes, the distinction between the motions of those who were living an ethical lifestyle and those who were not was glaringly obvious
ethically orienting people were able to glide, swerve, speed up and make magical manouvres (the sensation of movement was the first stand-out part of the dream)
the sense of freedom of motion was addictive
whereas other people were walking in a slightly stinted way
the most common style of clothes for males was shirt and trousers
the final scenes, in a high-rise restaurant that was seving breakfast
the restaurant was for ethically oriented and orienting people only
as i walked to a table with a half-litre standard bowl cup of tea i passed a slightly built girl who was tucking into an twenty centimetre wide five-egg omelette
i sat down with my cuppa and a girl who had saw me looking at the slight girl in a quizzical way said “she’ll use all that up”
the final scene, still in the cafeteria, was a prolonged scene (this scene lasted about five seconds of dream-time and was another stand-out bit of the dream)
was sketching a design on a piece of soft paper
as this is being written the finished design is clear in the memory but for the life of me i can’t think what it was the drawing was depicting
will do the drawing and leave it in amongst other micellaenuous items

zombies/ghouls
after climbing up three or four flights of stairs i went through a door onto the roof of a building
what appeared to be a roof party at first glance soon turned into something a lot more serious
about fifteen people were attacking each other
it then became clear they weren’t just fighting each other but were mutilating each other
the distorted features of those doing the attacking told me they were cannibalistic zombies
there were a couple of scenes of wanton brutality and the dream went from observer to participant
one of the bigger ghouls saw me and came towards me
as in the films of zombies, those unaffected could move faster than those who were affected and i managed to get away
the places where i could run to were limited and the direction i chose led me onto an adjoining roof where more of the same type of killing was taking place
i still had another place to flee to but the dream ended before i had to use it
there was another two or three-scened dream about taking the bark off a tree after the zombie dream

making my way through an area in suburbia
the road was wide enough to have three cars on it
in the second scene, a flying insect caught my attention
in the third scene, the flying insect was closer
in the fourth scene, the insect was closer still and i could make out it had two pairs of wings, like a dragonfly but it had a black body
in the fourth scene, it was even closer still, about three or four metres and now i could see its black body was segmented
in the final scene, the flying insect had zeroed in on me and was right in my face, within a metre, and i could make out all of its detail
it was at least a third of a metre long, its body had five segments and there was no doubt it was a predator
it hovered, ready to attack
i kept still, didn’t blink and the dream ended

alladin’s place
came across a newly-opened second-hand shop
inside the shop there were more items on display than i had ever seen in any second hand shop, there were thousands of goodies
nearly all of the goods were fist-sized or smaller
before i began looking for something i wanted the owner came into the dream
to my surprise and delight, he was an awake-time friend i had a special friendship with at school ten years earlier
i had almost forgotten about him until this dream
ours was a natural bonding of like-minded people whose special relationship was based on having the same sense of humour
we kept each other smiling by feeding off others comments like a couple of pro’s
there were so many items in the shop i wanted it was untrue
our common shared sense of humour also extended to a mutual attraction to gizmos and knick knacks!
eventually i bought a silver two-slice toaster and a handful of button-sized finger spinning tops

the name of the dream
a girl came calling
had just moved into a new pad
two male friends were there to help me get the flat functioning
all of my belongings were in the bedroom and another room
we were standing in the bare living room thinking about what items to move into it
before any items had been brought into the living room a young girl of about twenty appeared in the dream
she wasn’t a girlfriend of any of the men
she was wearing tight black slacks and a tight fitting top and she had her black hair cut tight to her head; her figure was as good as it comes
not sure who she was representing but she wanted to know my basic details… age, name, previous address…
in another scene, all three of the people in the dream were bringing in various items they thought i would need from the other rooms and i was saying yes or no as each item was brought in
after two or three scenes the living room was still bare
one of the males brought in something that was obviously not a living room item, a sink plunger i think, and the dream took on a light-hearted mood
a series of scenes followed when the males brought items into the room which were even more unlikely than the sink plunger to belong in the living room
the dream became a banter and quip session with everyone trying to come up with a funnier “one-liner” than the one before
there was externalised laughter in two or more of the dreams
the mystery girl took the dream in a new direction when she brought a hula-hoop into the living room and began gyrating with it
the two males suddenly had nothing to say and stood there transfixed, obviously fantasising
i took in her movements for a second or two
she was promising us with her suggestive movements us but i managed to break the spell by saying “don’t look at her, it will only make her worse”

was out and about on the edges of a city centre
next scene, in a cafe a japanese girl of about twenty introduced herself
within minutes of talking, she pointed to someone on the street outside of the cafe where we were sitting and said “you know her, don’t you?”
i went outside to see close up the person she had pointed out
it wasn’t until i was standing in front of her that i recognised who it was
the lady i was standing in front of was an awake-time friend and girlfriend of twenty years ago i had desperately been trying to get in touch with
she was thinner than the last time i saw her and some of the colour had gone from her face but she was much more energetic and had an enthusiasm she didn’t have before (the stand-out part of the dream)
we would be picking up from where we had left off
notes 1
cath broke away from me because the last time she called at my door she had travelled seven hundred miles to see me and mistakenly thought i was doing something that i regarded as having more important as i had led her to believe
because i hadn’t phoned her or left a note on the door she mistakenly thought that i had got something to do other than to see her and that i didn’t regard her as being as important to me as i had led her to believe
i phoned her several times to explain why i hadn’t been there to see her but she put the phone down immediately every time i phoned
she was so upset she even put the phone down on people who phoned her on my behalf and tried to explain the reason for me not seeing her
i was in fact at home but didn’t hear the bell
i didn’t hear the bell because i was sleeping in the bathroom
i was sleeping in the bathroom because my upstairs neighbours, who were associated with oligarch’s, had been making my life as unpleasant as possible by using sleep-deprivation to get me to sleep with the women who lived above me and was so tired i slept through the sound of the ring of the doorbell
when i get the chance i will be getting in touch with her and explain the situation

no honour amongst thieves
there was nothing in the pde’s or of the experiences in recent weeks which came remotely close to being the cause of this dream
for those reasons this dream is categorised as a “timed-to-occur dream”
the dream… an international gang of professional thieves organised the robbery of some of the most valuable works of art in the world
the exhibition was touring the world and would be seen in dozens of countries
the thieves had chosen the country where their plan was most likely to succeed
the gang had hired the most skilful criminals in the underworld to commit the theft
unbeknown to the hired criminals the masterminds of the robbery had got wind of the worldwide travelling exhibition years before it was announced publicly
before the word went out to the underworld for criminals with particular skills the organisation which planned the crime had already hand-picked another, even more specialised, band of people
the specialised group had spent a couple of years learning about and training for the robbery
the crime went ahead
a few weeks before the robbery the organisers of the crime had tipped off the police of the theft
on the night of the crime, the police were ready and waiting and arrested the entire gang
before the exhibition moved from its current location to the next a few days later the group of specialised thieves sprang into action
they had been hidden in the walls and under the floor of the building

with friends like that and abominable conditions
the first scene is set in a typical street
the scene showed many dozens of people
a convention to overcome abuse of children was underway
had just arrived and was looking for my son
he was with an awake-time friend from my teenage years about thirty metres way
my friend hadn’t seen me and as i got closer he gave my son a smack
i knew he was a bit resentful towards me but that he would take out his resentment for me on my son made me re-evaluate my opinion of him
i was on the way to get my son and let my friend know that he was no longer my friend
next dream, set in arctic-type conditions
was making my way from one place to another
i only had to go about twenty or thirty metres but the blizzard was so fierce it would be easy to lose the sense of direction and become a fatality
for a while, i thought i had lost my way but just in time a habitation became visible and the dream ended as i entered into it

the name of the dreams
the overly-grateful young lass, unremembered discussion and loose bowels
done a favour for a young female college student
i hadn’t put a lot of effort or time into doing the favour and was taken aback when the girl was so grateful she said she wanted me to be her boyfriend
she was a nice enough girl but it seemed to me she was being too generous so i decided to refuse her invitation and did so by introducing character flaws which i knew would put her off me
the theme of the dream changed…
walking along a street that had two-storey buildings
outside one of the houses, there was a group of three or four middle-eastern young men
the relevant part of the dream, the topic of our conversation, had slipped from the memory when it came to writing it down
the theme of the dream changed again…
i was in dire need to get to the toilet
had just entered the well-kept and predominantly stainless steel fixtures of a two-cubicle toilet
alas, i didn’t make it to one of the cubicles and some of the ejected excreta were on the floor outside of the cubicle
now i was in a dilemma… to get into the cubicle and complete the bodily function or clean up what was on the floor before anyone come into the toilet
i managed to scoop up most, but not all, of the excreta in one hand and get into the cubicle before anyone came in
still, the drama wasn’t over… now i had to finish going to the toilet and wash my hands and clean up what was still on the floor
a sense of mild anxiety prevailed as this dream ended

but, again, she gave me even more money for the second packet that she had for the first

insight
this dream starts with the sound of a person wailing
then, there were four or five tortured sounds of varying lengths and each had a different pitch
the sounds varied between a scream of despair to a guttural anger
somebody was in great pain and i had to investigate
following the sounds took me into a bedroom-sized room
there were three grown-up women standing and sitting and a young girl between twelve and fourteen years of age
the young girl was stretched out on the floor with a pen in her hand and an a4 sized birthday card in front of her
the situation was the girl had recently been told that her sight would not be returning
the women were at a loss as to how to console her and they thought that getting her to write personalised sentence thanking her closest half dozen friends for their help and loyalty might be therapeutic
each “thank you” was a “sign-off” in the girl’s mind; she couldn’t expect to be in contact with them forever
the young girl’s mood changed and she stopped crying from the soul and became cynical
she didn’t think that what she had written was legible and asked me to read what she wrote
some of the remarks on the card were readable, some weren’t
i suggested i write them and that she put her hand on mine and get the feel of the movement of a pen
it then struck me that asking the girl to write thank you remarks was having the opposite effect of what was wanted
she needed hope
it would mean gathering information on her condition and wording the search questions in such a way as to touch upon vague prognosis’s and liberal evaluations
within a very short time, the searches uncovered a treatment centre which was pursuing a novel line of research which held promise
the clinic was in switzerland…

this was a perfect example of the self-effacing characteristic we call shyness
the notes of this dream are, perhaps, more important than the dream itself
for the first day in a couple of weeks, i thought the previous night’s dream had slipped from the memory
during the day the memory of the dream played itself out three or four times
it was a typically enjoyable memory of the common experience of making a toddler smile
each time the memory was recalled i thought it was an awake-time experience which was coming to the fore simply because it was a pleasant memory
when it was realised the memory was the previous nights’ dream it also became even more evident that dream-time memories and awake-time memories are equally real

computer in charge
to watch films on the t.v. i put the video files onto a usb after downloading them from the internet
occasionally, there would be weeks and months between changing one batch of films for the next
waiting for the thumbnails of the films to show on the t.v. screen took longer and longer and every so often the t.v. went into “lockdown (waiting-for the-circle-chasing-itself to stop) ) ” which made every film on the usb inaccessible and that meant the only way to watch the films on the usb was to do a factory reset on the t.v.
it took forever to do a t.v. reset so i decided to reformat the usb instead
that did the trick and it only took seconds to do
the next time the t.v./usb interaction got sluggish i put the usb into the computer to re-format it
instead of being given the options for re-formatting the usb the computer generated a black-on-white message which read “do not re-format”
“ah well”, i thought, “the computer knows what’s best” and didn’t override the computer’s suggestion
notes 1
there’s a thought-provoking association between awake-time experiences and dream-time experiences taking place
in this dream, there is an intricate weaving of present-time and the other time-tense-memories taking place
the t.v. not loading, the t.v. going into “lockdown and the use of usb sticks are present-time memories but reformatting the usb and the pop-up message are of another time-tense
the ever-elaborating fusion between the dream-time conscious and awake-time conscious is taking place

the strength in the young boy’s arms had given out before he had shimmied down one floor
the psychopaths blood-lust had been awakened and the leader of the two looked around for another victim
i became fixed in his cross-hairs
the moment his gaze fell on me i recognised the danger and took to my heels
i managed to put a full floor between me and the two principle psychopaths
both of them were bigger and faster than me, so i had to come up with something, i looked for somewhere to hide
in the closing scene, am on the second floor and i could hear my pursuers getting closer

the name of the dreams
the muslim girl and the dept for food
an intriguing two-theme dream
first dream
a young muslim girl of sixteen, about five feet six, wearing a white headscarf, and i had hit it off
she had grasped the main points of my philosophy and was drawing the right conclusions
we complimented each other in that she was young and enthusiastic and i was eager to share
the partnership or relationship was going to be a long-standing one
i wanted to show her off to an old-time and awake-time acquaintance who features in at least two other dreams
we went to the last place where i knew he lived and i knocked on his door
a stranger answered the door and when i asked the stranger for him by his first name the male who answered the door said, “do you mean steve *****?”
i didn’t know his second name so i said “yes” (how many steves could there be living at that address?)
steve appeared at the door in the next scene
he left the house and i introduced him to my girl companion who was standing in the street about five metres from the door
as soon as he heard her speaking and had taken in her demeanour he too became infected by her personality
i could see he was interested in her in a more-than-friendly way and i knew, given the chance, he would “try it on”
exposing her to lecherous advances would have opened her up or exposed her to a reality she wasn’t familiar with
i wasn’t going to chance her changing her outlook on life and so said my farewells to my old-time acquaintance and the dream ended
second dream
a hard brexit had occurred and society had degenerated to the degree that a nationwide programme of mobile soup kitchens had to be implemented
i was in charge of the local mobile soup kitchen and knew that the meal would have to contain bread and potatoes with a flavour of the meat
the image of people consuming the soup by tipping the bowl with one hand while biting off bits of bread in the other hand was the stand-out part of this dream

the name of the dream
nearly trapped
had become a dealer in black market cigarettes
my supplier had opened my “account” with a few hundred cigarettes
had sold about one-third of them when the supplier told me that i had to “square-up” my account
it meant giving the money or cigarettes back to the supplier
the supplier was expecting that i would do what everybody else had done… spent the money from the sale of the cigarettes and the commission money
he could then turn around and demand i sold cigarettes for him without getting a “commission”
luckily, my natural tendency to keep my ingoings and outgoings balanced by keeping the money from the sale of the cigarettes and my commission separate, i was able to withdraw what i owed from the bank
he and his partner were double-checking the cigarettes, the cigarette money and the commission and were becoming frustrated that i hadn’t fallen into their trap

the name of the dream
new business
four or five newly-built premises replaced the previous buildings near the city centre of cover’s tree
the new building had been built underneath an existing historically important building
the new buildings were single-storey and due to the use of glass doors, looked, at first glance, as though it was a single building
all in all, it was quite impressive
the premises were ready to be occupied and were about to be launched officially
out of sight, someone pressed a button and it lit up a single neon light which straddled the length of all the new premises between the top of the re-modelled new premises and the old building
the blue neon light was about two metres in height and about twenty-five metres across
about three-quarters of this dream was taken up with the neon light giving the name of the new proprietors which preceded a four or five word explanation of the service they were offering
my business was the last business to show in lights but not to worry, the messages were looped and my message would get an equal amount of advertising
the blue neon light was the stand-out part of the dream (3.8 to 3.9)

the litterer
in a far-off past undulation, someone or some people began a press campaign to discredit me
it’s amazing just how effective the power of a single media outlet can be when it is the only media outlet
immediately, i became a piriha
contemptuous looks and the sudden absence of acquaintances
one associate stayed loyal but in a secretive way
it was touch and go i would ever have credibility again
that’ll teach me to drop a bit of paper in the street
notes 1
an example of how effectively people living in a one-media-format society can be controlled exists in our recent past
british oligarchs realised they were about to lose control of rwanda and decided to abandon any pretence of being benevolent
the british-laguage media in rwanda, a one-station radio system, set faction against faction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocide) and it resulted in the better part of one million people being murdered
the british radio-announcer who set people against people has yet to be brought to book

the name of the dream
the bouncing dad of a baby boy
my partner had recently become the mother to a boy, and a televised interview invited questions regarding the latest addition to the family
the first questioner asked, “do you intend to have any more children ?”
i nodded and said “yes.”
the questioner then asked another question, “how will you go about it ?”
i knew she meant “how will you and your next partner get together?” but that was not the most obvious meaning in the question
i was smiling as i explained, “usually, i let the woman decide which side of the bed to lie on, although on occasions…”
two other scenes in a similar vein followed, but this first scene captures the mood of the dream best

the name of the dream
a world of hospitals
was asleep in the dream and then woke up into this dream
am in a bed in a hospital
it was a shared ward
no sooner was i out of a bed, when a young lady asked me to hold onto the ends of a crumpled eiderdown and help her to fold it
when we had done that she asked me to help make her bed
after making the bed, she then referred to something about her locker
i was aware straight away she wanted to be more than just friends but the signs were it was going to be one of those arrangements where she would dangle the promise of x to get me to do anything and everything for her before it got to it and so i decided to put my foot down
i said “o.k. as long as you lift up the end of my mattress and rest your head the bottom of the bed”
she, of course, asked, “why?”
i said “it won’t you hurt as much when i sit on it” and then said, “what did your last one die of ?”
the quips hurt her and she opened up with her real feelings
“i was going to go into the bathroom with you and show you my body,” she said sadly
i had read the situation wrong
asking me to do things was her way of getting me to talk and be friendly
she was a shy, man-hungry young woman
i back-tracked in double-quick time
i pressed the back of the fingers of one hand against the hair resting on the side of her face and said “it’s alright. i was only joking with you”
the scene changed, i was in another ward and looking out
there was another building visible about three-hundred metres away
it was another hospital like the one i was in, cylindrical and huge
it had to be at least fifteen storeys and a hundred and fifty or more metres across
there was also a cylindrical, almost all-glass, walkway about fifty metres long which connected the cylindrical building to the top floor of an oblong building
looking beyond the tall cylindrical building there were more of the same buildings that stretched away into the distance and disappeared over the horizon

this website asserts that every situation in a dream has its roots in reality
this dream is obviously future tense but what situation would call for a network of hospitals which could accommodate millions of people ?
there is only one thing that comes to mind…

the name of the dream
the chip shop incident
after a night out there’s nothing quite like piping hot fish and chips
walked through the door of the brightly-lit shop and before the smell of the food sent appeasing signals to the stomach, before the sight of the different shades of the yellow chips and fish met the eye, the imposing sight of a man the size of a mountain thrust itself into my world
he was six-foot-seven if he was an inch and he was stocky with it
there were two different themes that led on from the opening scene of this dream
one was to do with an altercation between the mountain-man and someone else who came into the dream and the second theme was an all’s well that ends well theme
this dream lost its continuity and became a mish-mash of fragmented scenes upon waking due to my physical state that just wanted to go back to sleep or at least not have to do anything other than lying back down after getting up

the name of the dream
dance-starter
the girlfriend and i have just walked into the dancing room
this wasn’t a night-club, it was a large room which had enough floor-space for two or three hundred people to dance
it looked like it was the function-room of a large college
there is danceable music playing, but no one is dancing
the dance area was brightly-lit, too bright for my liking
including ourselves, there were just four people in this scene
in the next scene, for reasons unknown i had bought a broadsheet newspaper paper with me, the paper had been folded twice width-ways
i put the paper on a table with a brown laminated surface, the table itself was flush against the wall
was just about to go onto the dance-floor when a man of about forty with fair hair caught my attention
he signalled to where the paper was, then lifted the paper and gestured that he wanted to take it away and read it
i said, “please bring it back”
in the next scene, the number of people in the room had become about ten but still, no one dancing
in the next scene, i have walked to the edge of the dance-floor nearest to me and start dancing slowly on my own
the man who borrowed the newspaper caught my attention again as he put the paper back from where he took it (i’m sure the newspaper has significance but don’t know what it is)
in the final scene, a girl, not my girlfriend, has started to dance on the other side of the dance-floor
it could be a good night for dancing

the name of the dream
immaculate style and a winning smile
the first scene of the first theme
standing on the pavement looking through a glass window which stretched from a brick wall on the left to the door frame on the right
the business was antique or reproduction antique furniture
it was difficult to make out the details, to begin with
in the next scene, the details became clear
every one of the items of furniture was the same colour of dark brown
the wood was highly polished, so much so that it looked like the wood had been varnished
there were one or two items which had small silver protectors on the corners
what set the whole thing off and took the impression of what was being looked at into the realm of the surreal was a piece of abstract art the size of a family blender
in stark contrast to the colour scheme of all of the other items, the object was turquoise with one or two streaks of light green

the name of the dream
the cracked building
in the first scene, i am on my own in a building with a high ceiling
the walls, floors and ceiling are made of granite and there is a smooth pillar about half a metre in width
in the next scene, i notice a fine crack in the floor
following the crack with my eyes showed that it ran from my feet to the wall three metres to my right
likewise, to my left, the crack went a metre from where i stood to the wall on my left
the crack ran up the walls on both sides of the narrow room to where the pillar connected to the ceiling
the crack that ran up the wall to my left exposed a sizeable portion of the wall underneath
in my hand, i had a walking stick with a solid rubber tip (the same as the one i am using at the moment)
i lifted the end of the walking stick and stabbed into where the crack on the left was greatest
in the next scene, i am talking to the curator of the building and he is explaining that the building has been restored and the cracks were the last of the details that had to be corrected to get the building back to its original state
in the next scene, there is a girl with me and we are walking slowly and close together through another part of the building
my own physical state and the girl’s unconfident manner makes me realise we are in a convalescent home
the girl wants to be more than just friends with me but i am reluctant to get involved with someone when i don’t know what it is that ails her
still, there’s no harm in letting her know that i like her so i put my arm through hers and hold her hand
occasionally, as we are walking, i say a few words
the last scene, the girl and I are relaxed and walking casually arm in arm

the name of the dream
smooth driving
it was evening and i was in an urgent hurry, don’t know what the emergency is
the back of a white car catches my attention
a prolonged look tells me it is a “roller”
my opportunistic thieving instincts kick in and i decide to check it out
yep, the keys are in it
i’d never driven a roller but the ease of the power steering was so much better and easier than i thought it would be and the punch of a seven-litre engine put it into dream territory
the problem with a car like that is you can be doing a hundred without feeling that you’re speeding
the car had manual gearing and i soon discovered i only needed to use two of the gears
it wasn’t so much driving as flying on a flat
the acceleration and the braking power allowed manoeuvring that other cars didn’t have
there were a couple of times when i made mistakes which would have caused a police car to chase after me but the instant pick up to a fast speed got me away from the scene
it made driving a joyous experience
there was one person i knew, an awake-time second-hand car dealer from thirty years ago, who might be interested
i knew he had moved from the last place he lived but i went there on the off-chance the new residents would know where he had moved to, they did
i should have known a flashy car like that would draw attention and that’s what it did and was that was the start of the problems
the people who were now living where my ex-buddy used to live were a family of about ten
two or three youngsters came to the door to and when they saw the car they started making noises of disbelief and excitement, most of the rest of the family soon appeared
they knew where the person i was looking for lived, it was within a hundred metres of where we were
three or four of the family were at the destination when i got there
i rang the door-bell
my contact was in and he gave a quick look at the car and invited me in
we went upstairs where three or four of his friends were playing cards at a big round table
i only wanted a quick giveaway deal of a hundred pounds worth of “leb”
he told me to go back outside and he would be down in a jiffy
i went back outside and my anxiousness came back when i saw about twenty people milling around
the car had become the biggest thing in their lives
my one-time business mate re-appeared with two packets of soft, fresh leb
there were about three ounces in each packet (definitely a past-tense dream)
in an effort to keep the gathered people on my side i handed out one of the packets of leb which had been cut into about five or six strips
i gave about a quarter of a stick to each of the people who looked to be above a certain age and that made them happy
then one person, who probably felt he should have been given more than he got said out loud “i know you, you’re j*** ********”
his body language and the way he said it told me it was a threat
i said something like “if you mention me to anyone i’ll be coming to see you”
the dream ended here and i was thinking as it ended that it had been a mistake to make threats
my anxiety was still lingering upon waking
notes 1
fairly sure the anxiety in this dream stems from thoughts about how to solve the problem of a certain country during the day
03032019
the name of the dream
a female visitor
the girl i was expecting hadn’t arrived when the woman, from an awake-time relationship from a few years ago, arrived with another woman
in one scene, the woman from the awake-time relationship never once resisted my advances, in fact, i’m fairly sure she thought i didn’t make advances often enough
more than conjoinment, she got prolonged pleasure when we were sitting together and i would cup her breast in the most convenient hand and softly pressed and squeezed her while we were talking
i didn’t want to disappoint her, so the second her friend wasn’t looking i felt her breast in the way she liked
she pulled my hand down from her breast and said “not yet”
the next scene was a brief act of conjoinment between us
in the next and last scene, the woman i had been expecting originally and the two other women were sitting at a table
the lady i had been expecting wasn’t happy but i was slowly winning her round
i let her know we would have the rest of the day together when the other two left
in the next scene, i was standing behind her with a notepad and pen in hand taking her order
also, i was giving her an inventory of the food and suggesting ways of having it cooked and what to have with it
i suggested beef and said there was some mateus rose wine to go with it
the dream ended while taking the ladies orders
02032019
the name of the dream
amorousness and assassination at school
landed a job at a boarding school for mixed secondary pupils
the school was the size of a large village and looked as though it had in excess of a thousand pupils
the dress code was white blouses and dark-blue skirts and white shirts and black trousers
most of the paths were canopied or had a rigid covering
for reasons not remembered the chalet i occupied wasn’t suitable, and in the next scene i am in a different room
there is a male adult aged fifty with white hair and a slim physique in the room
while looking at him a red spot the size of a pea appears on his forehead
his expression becomes expressionless and he begins to fall
the accompanying sound of glass breaking causes me to look in the direction of the sound and there is a neat hole with a few small cracks surrounding a bullet hole
before he hits the ground the scene changes to another room the same size as the room in the previous scene
the dream changes from observer to participant status
it is early morning and i am lying on a bed
a young girl comes into the room and sits on a chair next to the bed
she says something which is meant to re-assure or relaxes me and then she puts her hand on the blankets above the area where my genitalia is and begins to rub me in a surprisingly accomplished way
i become aroused and mentally prepare myself for intense sexual feelings and say to the girl “you’ll have to be careful that no one misses you”
thoughts of caution are overridden by feelings of pleasure, and, wouldn’t you know it, the dream ends just as feelings are increasing

the name of the dream
deep shit
it was around 10 o’ clock in the evening and was heading out of town after being to the pictures
the time coincided with people who were going to another pub for their last drink
completely out of the blue i soiled my pants
i was about five minutes from home and it made more sense to head for home and not go to the nearest toilets to clean up
so i tucked my trousers into my socks and began running
looking ahead i could see a group of three lads
i recognised the gait and could tell one or more of them was well on the way to being drunk
the least bit of confrontation would have spurred them into violence
they were spread across all of the pavement and i wouldn’t be able to pass by them without one or more of them moving to one side or walking onto the road which didn’t appeal to me
i considered scooping a handful of excreta out of my pants and if it did “kick off” i would smear it into their faces
however, if it didn’t work as a shock tactic i would be in double-deep shit
they hadn’t seen me as far as i could tell so i stooped down behind a bush and they went past me without noticing me
a friend and a friend of his who i didn’t know very well appeared in the next scene
i said i had to get home quick and told them why
one of them said “cooksons might work” and “or you could…?”
the dream ended there

the name of the dream
fun, laughter and a hint of love in the jungle
the last scene in this multi-sequence dream…
in a jungle, probably africa, although it could be any jungle anywhere in the world
most likely it was the inter-undulationary memory matching the thoughts and sights and sounds into the pde’s
we didn’t have any weapons in the dream although there was the chance we could come up against a pack of orangutans and would need them
as the physically weakest of the group and the one considered to have the best judgement i was elected to set the pace and lead the way
the seven or eight of us had just emerged from thickish’ brush
we were on the side of a hill that had a decline of about thirty degrees
i looked at my watch and it had just gone a quarter past nine (the face and the colours of the face of the watch was the stand-out part of this dream)
i declared “we’ll make camp here” and then said to one of the group “you can get a fire going” (cooking the meals was my responsibility)
of course, being the least macho of a group in a situation where machoism was considered a virtue meant the others decided for themselves whether to take any notice of my commands
two or three of them didn’t
they unloaded their backpacks and went to one part of the decline where a path had been worn into the side of the hill or mountain or whatever it was we were on the side of and used something to sit on, it may have been big and thick green lily-leaves, and slid down through the bush and into a river about forty metres below
i watched them thoroughly enjoying themselves as they slid down the embankment and crashed into the cooling water
i thought or said out loud “i’m going to have a go at doing that”
it was then i noticed three of the locals twenty or thirty metres to the left of where the men who had slid down the bank
there was one or two a girls/women amongst them…

third dream
the name of the dream
the looped train-journey
an asian man spoke to me and then got on a train
what he said to me made me realise he knew something important and i had to talk to him again
to find him meant having to catch the train he got on after speaking to me
the route the train took was a rural loop with only one point of boarding and one of alighting
i didn’t know the time of day he spoke to me initially so it meant staying on the train’s circular route for the entire day
one part of the journey replayed three or four times during the dream
it was of the track going off into the distance, the motions of the train and the sounds the train made as it gathered speed along a seven-mile stretch of straight track
at a guess, the train was travelling at two hundred kmh during that part of the journey
never saw the man though

second dream
the name of the dream
my first steady in a dream
the third dream with the same female
sitting on the end of a bed in a ward
i was leaning back on the bed supporting myself with my right elbow
the person whose bed i was lounging on was a friend or possibly a relative
i can’t recall if it was a woman or a man
i hadn’t spoken or done anything before one of the females working there came and joined us
i sat up and the person who i was visiting came and sat on the other side of the bed
the woman who had joined us put her arm around the person i was visiting and spoke encouragingly to her or him
in a natural manner my arm also went around the patient and now our three heads were more or less touching
the nurse/helper/care person changed her position slightly which moved her body closer to mine
my response was to put my left arm around her shoulders so we could all talk quietly
as the words were being spoken they took on a rhythm
the rhytmn caused the three of us to move slowly side to side along with the tempo in the rhythm
then things started happening more quickly but it was still at a slow pace
the woman who had joined us pressed her breasts into me in a firm, and unmistakably inviting way
both the person i was visiting and i were still sitting
i was resting one of my legs on a bar of the frame at the end of the bed which meant my knee was jutting out
the nurse or carer rested her crotch on my knee and bearing in mind we are still moving side to side my instinct was to move my knee as purposefully as possible in synchronisation with her movement
doing that made the woman become more aroused and as she pressed more firmly into me i, in turn, placed my hand between her legs and even through her trousers could feel the softness of her genetalia
another woman who was visting someone else caught my eye and her offended look told me it was time to stop
the dream became externalised at this point and i could hear myself saying “we’ll have to meet” up and “we’ll arrange it”

second dream
the name of the dream
coconut container
please read notes 1 to get the significance of this dream
the dream…
there was a bit of a flap on
details vital to the recurrence of an individual which had hitherto not been recognised had come to light
the solution was to house a persons dna profile in a container that was the size and shape of a coconut
the coconut-container was to be buried in the ground along with the dna profiles of other people who shared similar genetic compatibilities
when people were born in the future with similar characteristics the genes could be mingled
it was quickly realised that in order for that to work it would mean there would have to be a minimum combinative/permutive gene base of thousands if not millions and billions and billions
still, it was within the scope of technology
one detail that had to be factored in was keeping the coconuts stored at the right temperature
another consideration which had merit was to bury the coconuts in a soil that had been sterilised
so now there was a soil and temperature environment required which would be safe for millennias and would need to be the size of a planet
but still, it was do-able and besides dinosaur man would have worked out all the details by now
notes 1
this dream is time-tense three (the future of a past undulation)
notes 2
i woke from the dream not being able to reconcile why we would need to go to all the trouble of keeping a person’s genes in storage for millennias when nature had already got them stored in a persons genes and are passing them on through their children
and why on earth would we need to bury them in the ground ?
surely the best environment would be in an unbreakable jar on the mantlepiece in the living room where the “vibes” in the room would be akin to being in the womb
it wasn’t until i had been awake for ten minutes and replaying the dream that it became clear what the dream was about
it wasn’t about the genes of people but the seeds of food that most suited a persons physiology
peolple, we need to assimilate or recognise just how complicated it is going to be to tailor all of our needs to suit every individuals physiology through to transmutation
there are thousands of foods and millions of people
sure, we have lots in common, but equally we are all unique
in the milliards ahead, we will be fine-tuning the foods best suited for each persons metabolism and we may need to be accurate to within molecules

in the brain there are billions of neurons with an as yet unestimated number of connections
the connections between the neurons of possible soul partners may well have to “fire” in synchronisation and in a way not yet considered, for the “eternal link” to be established
don’t worry, it sounds, and is, complicated, but the route for each and every one of us is already mapped out
this dream is a reminder to keep us on our toes

the enraged bull
i am standing and looking at a bull which was in a double enclosure along with a dozen or so cows
the bull and myself are talking telepathically
he wants to know what he’s doing in the field with the cows
i tell him
he then asks me when they will be eaten
i say “soon”
the bull becomes homicidal and breaks through the first enclosure
i’m not unduly worried, the first enclosure is made of flimsy wood, the outer enclosure was solid thick wood
this bull has got savvy
he goes to where the padlock is fastened through the gate
he charges for a few steps, gives the gate an enraged head butt and breaks the chain and is about to go through the gap and come out of the enclosure and do to me what he had done to the gate
if i didn’t find a wall to climb over within seconds it would be me who would be dog meat
i was running or about to set off at a sprint when the dream stopped

the name of the dream
the money that went missing
the opportunity of doing a regular gig at a pub came my way
it would be a nice little “earner” and would no doubt lead to other offers of work
all i had to do was buy a microphone, or it may have been a mixer, to have things set up nice ‘n neat on the night
i reckoned that a hundred quid would get the equipment needed to do the job
to get the money to buy the essential bit of kit i would sell a pair of speakers
the speakers were worth a lot more than a hundred pound but, if things went how they were expected to go, the money would be recouped within half a dozen gigs
the speakers were snapped up and i had got the money
went to a shop which sold the hardware needed and was waiting for the salesperson to bring the item to where i was at the counter
i took the money out of my pocket and put it on the counter
then there was a scene in the dream when something drew my attention away from the scene at the counter
when the main theme of the dream resumed the money was longer there
no one had the chance to steal it, it had simply vanished from the dream
i was thinking that someone might have seen the money on the counter and given it to someone in the shop for safe-keeping when i woke

the name of the dream
maiden flight
the opportunity arose for me to realise my greatest ambition, to travel into space
it wasn’t a journey to the centre of the galaxy type space-flight but was to be a couple of hundred miles up, take some photos and have a supervised-fiddle-at-the-controls affair
the excursion into space was part of an ongoing regular event to orient society to the idea of a lifestyle which may be part of our future
from the start of the dream to its end it was filled with petty down-to-earth squabbling, simple oversights and personal problems
there was only one scene in which the grandeur of the vastness of space was prominent but the rest…
there were four of us, two women and two men, who were going through a “prepping” routine
we were deliberately squeezed into cramped conditions to get us used to the restricted confines of where we would be spending most of our time while aboard the ship and the women weren’t happy about the fleshy parts of their bodies being routinely pressed against men’s bodies
the next thing was one of the women changed her mind about going and there wasn’t time to replace her
the other woman was having qualms about being the only woman with two men
then there was a problem with me getting out of the ship when we returned
alighting from the ship meant having to crawl backwards through a tight exit chute, hold onto a ledge at the end of the chute and drop about two metres to the ground
i tried it in practice but when it got to the part where i had to hold onto the ledge and balance my weight before letting go and dropping to the ground i found i didn’t have the strength in my fingers and arms to keep hold of the ledge, i was gripped with panic as my fingers began slipping
the other male had his wits about him and got into a position below where the chute projected from the side of the craft and caught me as i fell
the elaborate solution was to engineer a hydraulic hinge which slowly swivelled through forty-five degrees and give me time to adjust my balance
oddly enough, it worked
it wasn’t until we got into space that the other woman found out she didn’t have a head for heights
so before we had time to start exploring the environment we were thinking about the return
the view of the universe from outside of the atmosphere was mind-boggling though
i woke thinking… will space habitation be filled with such mundane circumstances?

cpu (central processing unit) limitations
most of us will have hit the brick wall when it comes to cpu usage
this dream overcame the problem of having too many apps (applications) open at one time by using a built-in timer for each app which automatically put the app to “sleep” for a time determined by the user
i found that when using a dozen or more apps the best sleep pattern was five seconds
this stopped the cpu from “freezing” as neared 100%
the dream ended as i realised that the computer still had a way to go before it became the all-singing device it has the potential to become

the name of the dream
on the warpath
it was nighttime
it had been dark for a few hours
under the cover of night a resident, for reasons which were to become the most divisive source of speculation in the history of the resident’s committee, had not picked up the dog’s poop
the problem was not easy to solve
there were only two dogs on the site and both of them were small dogs
the size of the poop meant it could have come from either dog
both of the owners of the dogs vigorously denied the possibility it was their dog’s doing
it was possible it was a non-resident but that was extremely unlikely
besides, if the idea that a stranger was responsible, it would mean there would be no one to blame
better to stick to the general consensus; it was a resident who was being deliberately offensive
sentiments were gradually consolidating against one of the residents in particular
decisions, tough decisions, would have to be made
it would be better if the person who had delivered the dirty deed got out of dodge before the guns were pointed in their direction
the committee was not the sort of people to mess about with

suburbia
observing the rooftops of the houses as seen from the left-hand side of a train or bus moving from left to right
first, there was four or five rooftops in the scene, which then became, in the second scene, the first four or five houses in the first scene plus another four or five rooftops of the next row further away
the next scene, had another row which showed three tiers of houses, the next scene, four tiers and eventually the scene showed dozens and dozens of rows of houses stretching off into the distance
the houses were too close together for there to be a road between the houses
then i thought to myself “there must be some roads”
the next scene, magically the scene showed an expanse of a built up area with a busy two or three-lane highway
the three-lane highway was the only road in the dream
the demarcation line between where the front lawns and the back gardens met was at the discretion of the occupiers
there were some appealing flower arrangements and generally it appeared to be an harmonious arrangement so it will be assigned a future time-tense
the stand-out part of the dream was the third or fourth scene which showed the extra space that was freed up when roads were designed out of residential areas

second dream
name of the dream
after the dirty work comes the rewards
in the first dream, i was in what appeared to be a care-home
the care-home was clean, quite brightly lit with lots white and other shades of reflective colours
i had soiled my pants
i was too embarrassed to tell anyone and was looking for somewhere to clean up
the washroom didn’t have a sink big enough to wash the clothes and besides, it was too public
a woman was pressing me to come and join a group that was one of the highlights of the social day
“i’ve just got something to do and then i’ll be coming,” i told her
the woman wanted to get to the group as quick as possible and left me
i eventually came across a shower and bathtub and began showering
the water coming out of the shower was alternating between too hot and cold every three or four seconds which meant there was a one to a two-second window when the water was at the right temperature
it took ages to get myself and the clothes acceptably clean
the scene ended there
the whole tone of the dream changed and for the next five scenes of this period of r.e.m. the dream sequences got better and better
first was when mohammed ali appeared on the landing outside of the room i was in and said “i want you to come to a celebration”
i asked him why me and he said “you’ll find out when you get there”
it was obvious that a surprise waited for me but i couldn’t think what it could be
the next scene had marvin hagler in it
he knew that something special was in store for me and said something along the lines of “see you in a bit”
in the next scene, i was telling people of my invitation and the people i told hinted or asked me to take them as a guest
i was experiencing a sense of elevation as the clamour around the requests to go with me grew
in the next scene, i had just walked through the door of a popular pub in a city i used to live in
everybody who walked through the door got the once over but i was high on life and it was me who was giving them the once over
people turned their heads to their company or picked up their drink when i looked in their direction
that sort of thing didn’t happen in this pub
i was in a supremely confident mood and was gliding rather than walking
in the next scene, was at home
had just arrived after being away for a length of time sufficiently long enough for my return to cause a celebratory mood
one young lad led me upstairs and steered me into the bathroom
two people were already in there
he told them to give me a smoke of the hash
they apologised and said that there were only crumbs left, which there was
whatever it is that sets the tones of dreams it wasn’t going to let a simple thing like someone not having hash change the mood
i said something along the lines of “looks like i got back just in time” and produced a lump big enough to keep us going for the night
the mood of the dream vaulted to a new high, in both senses, it was top grade gear, and the party mood grew
in the next scene, i am at home and alone when callers arrive
it is a young couple with two children
both children are toddlers and both are girls
the mother and the youngest of the two girls come through the door last
i looked beyond them to see if there was anybody else and the woman or the man said “it’s just the two of us”
the youngest of the two girls was a wide-eyed seeing-things-for-the-first-time child and i could see she was ripe for my brand of seduction
i lifted the pitch of my voice to squeaky level pointed at her while looking at her said something like “i thought you said there were only two of you. there’s someone else here”
i held out my hand to her and said “c’mon”
she automatically held out her hand and let me lead her
she was mine
first dream
the name of the dream
potentially dangerous
it was nighttime and i had hitched a ride with the two-times world’s strongest man geoff capes
he never initiated any talk and when i said knew who he was it didn’t get more than a nod of his head
i wouldn’t have spoken at all if it wasn’t for the fact he was driving like a bat out of hell and i thought that if he started to talk he would slow down
i tried again to get him into a conversation by asking him if he thought the camaraderie between competitors had changed over the years
i said, “there used to be a friendly ribbing between the sportsmen and that made the competition more enjoyable.”
he agreed with that and made a two-sentence reply
it worked and he did slow down very slightly for a few seconds but then picked up speed again
as mentioned, it was nighttime and the lights of the car didn’t pick out any detail in the road beyond forty or fifty metres
at the speed, we were going that just wasn’t enough distance to make an emergency stop
we were going well over a ton
the thought crossed my mind that i would get hurt if the car did crash and then immediately amended the thought
hurt, who am i kidding, i wouldn’t survive a crash at the speed we were going
the dream ended just then
14022019
the name of the dream
accuracies
the main theme of this dream was measurements
the most vivid scene was a marksman who had a handgun that looked like a flare-gun
the barrel of the gun was about five centimetres in diameter
the marksman rested his firing arm on his folded left arm and aimed at a length of a tube the same diameter as the barrel of the gun about five metres away being held out at arm’s length by the marksman’s assistant
the projectile or bullet was about ten centimetres long and the same width as the tube the man standing five metres away was holding
the projectile could be seen in flight just before it entered the tube
very impressive
a similar exhibition of accuracy was of an object being dropped from a height of about twenty metres into a container
there was no leeway in where the object to be dropped could land
it had to be, and was, accurate to within a centimetre
in another scene, there was a woman behind a glass kiosk cum office who was being short with her words which were being delivered with a sneer because i didn’t know what everybody except me knew, namely… there was only one way a person could apply an estimate of food over money
there was a scene involving a rabbit, but i don’t remember the reason it was the object of the dream
17052019 15052018
third dream
the name of the dream
for services rendered
was handed a lump of hash
the person who had just given the hash to me was an awake-time friend from eight years ago and he knew i would smoke all of it with him
he then showed me a gold dress-watch and said “i found it on the counter”
he wanted to know if it was valuable
he would know from my response if it was worth anything or not
he would either be bunging the watch in a drawer when he got home or he would be spending his night’s down the pub for the next week or two
the watch was had a square body and it was one of those watches which was either going to be worth a lot of money or something you could use as a christmas-stocking filler
it had a two-line inscription below the twelve o’ clock position and another above the six o’ clock position
the words were difficult to make out and for half the dream i was looking at the watch from one angle and then another and then another… trying to catch the writing in the right light and make it readable
i was absolutely flabbergasted when i did make sense of the writing
it read “presented to endic.at for services rendered by …?” and the end of the inscription read “a unique design by …? ….?” and the date and place of the manufacturer”
it was much too elaborate a hoax for my friend to have put together
my friend asked again if it was worth anything and i could sense his anticipation
i was absorbed in thought and didn’t answer him
second dream
name of the dream
in a hurry for hash
in prison in a narrow hallway where there was a lot of activity
the reason for the bustle was it was the prison’s equivalent of the “happy hour”
the leading wheeler-dealer had got a new batch of hash and the buzz was he was doing good deals
didn’t have anything to strike a deal with myself but there was someone i knew who had resources and was always ready to get high and would definitely want some which in turn meant i would get some
told the person selling the “gear” to wait where he was for a minute to give me the time to get something he would accept in exchange for the hash; in this case, it was baccy
dashed to his usual haunts but couldn’t find the person i was looking for so i nipped back to the man who was waiting for me and said it was going to take longer than i thought to get the baccy
as a seasoned wheeler-dealer myself i knew from the look on his face that he had decided that i was not going to deliver my end of the bargain there and then
even worse, i might ask him to give it to me and i would “square-up” with him later
an agreement that nearly always results in the person doing the collecting chasing around for the owed-amount for days
the dream faded out
first dream
the name of the dream
future-tense website hosting
this dream was a think-read dream
was reading the comments of the most recent entry on my website
the comments were of the three-to-seven word type and there were six or seven of them
they were neatly laid out in coloured boxes in a line
one of them read… “i’m innit too”
decided to respond to the comment
the rest of the dream was me trying to access/activate the “reply-to” comments feature
managed to access one of the replies but, as is usual with my dreams, wasn’t able to physically generate letters using the keyboard and type a reply
was between states of consciousness and was forming the question “has one.com got any plans to incorporate a message box into the website ?” as i woke

the name of the dreams
the powered buggy and the hole in the road dream
had a power-chair (mobility scooter)
its top speed on the flat was around twenty kmph
the buggy slowed noticeable on up-gradients and sped up to about thirty kmph going down
the first scene of this mega-scened dream has me trundling along at about top speed on a flat road
there’s next-to-no traffic in this or any of the scenes
another scene is in the centre of a city
there is a two to three metre deep and two-metre wide rectangular hole in the ground which has clearly been made with a mechanical digger and stretches from one side of the road to the other; the width of the road is the better part of twenty metres
i lay boards across all of the holes to enable me to drive the wheelie across
as i drive the vehicle over the boards they give significantly and i realise that the boards would break if a heavier vehicle were to try to go over them
on cue, a car appears thirty or forty metres away heading towards where i am
i run towards it and stand in the middle of the road with my arm out in front of me in an unmistakable “stop” gesture so the car has no option but to stop
i tell the driver there are roadworks ahead and he shouldn’t try to go across the boards as they aren’t able to bear the weight of the car
the problem was i had made such a neat job of laying the boards down it looked like they had been put there as a temporary measure by the firm which was doing the roadworks
the driver of the car thought i was being overly dramatic, as some people do in such situations, and dismissed my warning and drove away
i watched as the car moved onto the boards fully expecting them to break and having to call the emergency services but to my surprise, the boards did give a lot more than when my wheelie crossed over them but didn’t break under the weight of the car
in another scene, i was talking to a policeman and pretending that i had witnessed an incident involving a mobility chair
i asked the policeman who would be liable if the car had broken the boards and crashed
as i was relating the circumstances of the accident i slipped up in my account of the story and blurted out that i had only just acquired the power-chair
as mentioned, there were scenes coming and going at a speed in this dream
the details given are of the stand-out scenes of the dream

the name of the dream: the art of mothering
this was a prolonged one-scene dream
the first impression of the fifteen-month-old baby wriggling and shifting her body from side to side was that she was uncomfortable
the baby girl was resting along her mother’s forearm and was nestled into the mother’s midriff
as i gazed, the expression on the baby’s face became clearer, she wasn’t in discomfort but was smiling
her smile was changing from hardly perceptible to varying degrees of a broad smile, and occasionally, her smile would settle into a relaxed contentment
finally, it was possible to see what was happening
the mother had, some time previous, discovered one her child’s tickle spots was around her lower-rib cage
the mother didn’t need to look at the child
she could tell from the baby’s movements that she was hitting the tickle-spot
all the mother needed to do was use her middle finger to cause the baby to experience sensations that caused her baby to smile
it was the casual, natural way, the mother was using her finger to maintain a state of “contact” between her and the child which was the stand-out bit of the dream
to the mother it had become as easy to keep in “contact” with her child as it was to scratch an itch
without having to even think about it, the movement of the baby told the mother how much pressure to use and where next to place her finger
it was quite an education see a mother using the subtlest of movements to entertain her child the way this mother was doing
this was a mother on top of her game

second dream
the name of the dream
too popular
an awake-time ex-girlfriend from seven years ago turned up out of the blue
i had some ace hash and was only too eager to impress her
she appreciated the “hit” and praised its qualities more than once
in the next scene, we were “getting into each other”, although i must admit i was more enthusiastic about getting back together than she was
the last time i saw her she was a little overweight and it gave her face a “heavy” look
in this dream, she had transformed
she had a classy two-sided hair-style, had lost weight and her face was a picture of health
i commented “you look really well”
in the next scene, i was answering the door to a youngish man
had never seen him before and he asked me if he could buy some hash
before i had time to tell him no the scene had changed and now there were three young men
the closest to me started to make his way through the door
i stretched out my arm and placed my hand on his chest and kept him back
he became more determined and now i was having to use the weight of my body to stop him moving forward
the two people either side and behind him began to move forward as well
the scene changed again and now there were five young men; the pushing and shoving had stopped
i said something like “there’s too many of you” and this part of the dream ended
the next part of the dream was the same house
now there was an awake-time neighbour looking through the letter-box
it was a friendly face
we exchanged one or two sentences through the letterbox
that’s all i can remember of this part of the dream
the stand-out parts of the dream: the girl’s complexion and the pressure of the young man pushing against my hand
notes 1
for the second time the writer is going to explain where you-know-who stands in relation to thc
on two occasions, while smoking hash, the state known as a “whitie” occurred
when i was firmly in the grip of the whitie she/he chimed in with “no more blow”; the tone of the sentence was unequivocal
the second time, a year more later, her/his words was “remember this time”
feeling as though i should be allowed to decide for myself i continued smoking it for some years after you-know-who had made her/his thoughts known
i pressed the point on one occasion “is it ok to smoke it once in a while ?”
that question got a reluctant “i suppose so” from the tone i could tell she/he was disappointed i had asked
then a year or two later i asked: “is it alright to smoke it once a year ?” that question went unanswered
lastly, i asked: “is it ok to eat it once a year” and to my surprise, she/he gave her/his approval
the tone of the words carried the feeling of a happy compromise
so that’s it, people
once a year
i haven’t yet met with disapproval for the idea of a weekend of non-stop dancing using hash cakes and hash soups for sustenance
friday night to sunday night of being high equals one one-hundredth and an eighty-fourth of a year !

an instance of hypocrisy
ten days of continual use of marijuana has helped me break the habit of having two periods of sleep in one day

first dream
the name of the dream
stop motion with looped sound
this dream took place in my current location
there were three of us, all males
we were standing in and around the doorway that linked the living room to the hallway
one of the others had rolled a really neat joint
it was the length of a hand and about as thick as a biro
then, the motion in the dream stopped
i was waiting for him to light it but he didn’t
both of them stood there motionless
i thought they were playing a joke on me, knowing i would be waiting to have a smoke myself i would get impatient and say something
they played their parts well and i did say something
but still, they didn’t move
i thought “i’ll turn the tables on them”
so i whipped the joint out of his mouth of the and put it in mine
still, they didn’t move
i thought “i know how to get them to move. i’ll light it and start smoking it myself”
i would be breaching the etiquette “the roller gets first dibs” that exists amongst tokers and would have a laugh on them
they will soon stop playing then i thought
i never lit it because now, after several seconds, they were still stock still and i realised something strange was happening
as more seconds passed i wanted someone else to see what i was seeing so i went to the front door and opened it
for the first few fleeting moments after opening the door the postman, who wasn’t delivering anything to me, was moving but then he too went into freeze-frame
before any other thoughts went through my head a dog’s bark sounded in the dream
it was a low, gruff/growl type of bark
it wasn’t until the sixth or seventh bark that i realised it was the same bark which was repeating and, to complete the weirdness of the dream, it was only in my left ear

the last scene of this dream was some people in a car asking me if i knew where such and such a place was
i did and as it happened, it was where i was headed
it occured to me to suggest that i could take them to it and save me having to walk but the dream ended

became acquainted with a girl in a hospital

i ran up against a brick wall in the form of the hospital’s administration, it didn’t want to know about any suggestions i made
they had the attitude of knowing what was best for her which was frustrating because i knew what was best for her as well
i would have to see her as an out-patient

the three of us were in a reclining position and loosely clothed
the girl held my hand and then kissed it
she obviously wanted to become intimate
i felt awkward and held back because she was alan’s girl
the girl said “for goodness sake” and took the initiative
we conjoined and i was glad we did; it was nice

the name of the dream
prepping for heaven
a multi-themed dream in which one of the themes contained a scene which has been bubbling under the surface of the awake-time memory
the memory/image has been presenting itself independent of the mental decision to do so since the first time it occurred three or four days ago
how to describe it…
big, recall the biggest thing that impressed you as being big, and which is still imprinted your memory as the biggest thing you ever saw
now add colour, lots of colour, and a feeling of childish anticipation that the most exciting you can experience is starting to happen
give the size and colour linear shapes and nestle them in an area at, behind and above a black horizon
so now, the sense of the size of the objects isn’t quite as big but the space the objects are in has become the biggest thing your sense of size has ever tried to measured
notes 1
the reality this picture memory presents is of an earth-bound observer seeing linear-shaped images or beings almost as big as a planet
notes 2
it was within a day or two of this dream that a new variation cropped up
during a montage, i opened my eyes half-way and was presented with both the image of the montage and the sights being seen through half-opened eyes?
almost immediately, i saw the breadth of the application’s that two different time-tenses or consciousnesses working together could have
try it yourself the next time you have a montage

the name of the dream
an escape through a narrow shaft
there were three of us, a female and two males
somehow we had got trapped in a confined area below the floor which would give us access to the general population
a round pipe the width of a person went up through the concrete ceiling and there was a gap of about thirty centimetres to one side of it
the concrete ceiling was two-thirds of a metre thick and was two and a half metres above the floor we were standing on
i was the first to try to squeeze through the gap next to the pipe
the difficulty was pushing me up high enough so my arms were free of the restrictions which would let me rest my elbows on the floor above and haul myself up
we decided the best plan of action was for the smallest of us, the girl, to be pushed up
the girl would have to keep her arms by her side and keep her balance until we had pushed her high enough for her to arms to clear the thickness of the concrete floor
i sat on the shoulders of the other man and he lifted me to within touching distance of the hole, now the girl had to climb up the men
the idea was for me to place my hands, palm-up, on my shoulders which the girl would stand on and then for me to push her up
the dream didn’t have the scenes of the girl getting through the gap but the next scene was of the three of us standing in front of a black door that had a see-through panel half the size of the door
on the other side of the black door there was a smiling man with a fire hose and about to turn on a jet of water
in the last scene, the three of us are barracking and giving the finger to the man spraying the water at the door and full of jubilation we had been rescued

the name of the dream
the weekly report
the weekly report is a detailed written or spoken account of a persons most important moment or hour of the week and it’s something everybody does
it didn’t matter what the substance of the report/record was, just as long as the person was in the habit of making it routinely
somebody asked me if i would do their weekly report
the person who asked me to do it for him hadn’t forgotten to do it but intended to ask someone when there was no time left to do it and someone like myself who took the weekly report as being civic duty/responsibility would help out
there wasn’t time to make up something, it meant i would have to submit an hour of my life as his
if the report was reviewed by someone and the person who read it thought it should be highlighted for general discussion then it would come to light that the review wasn’t by the person named on the report it would be a permanent stain on my character
i was giving the person who asked me to do it ear-ache for not doing it himself when the dream came to an end
notes 1
this dream may well have a considerable constructive value
millions of people submitting the most significant hour the week
new thoughts and feelings
the report might only take ten seconds to read or listen to
or it could take an entire day
with the internet at our disposal, it is easy to imagine some reports containing insights or information which could reshape our outlook/values or way of living overnight

the name of the dream
broken dream
the chime of my door-bell is loud
was smack-bang in the middle of a vivid dream when a man delivering goods rang the door-bell
the dream was still running for three or four seconds after getting to my feet
i was completely disoriented for those few seconds
it was a mix of the two conscious states
it could be likened to being slapped across the face while relaxed
i felt as though i had been assaulted
whatever the content of the dream was it was broken into pieces
when i tried to recall the dream it had gone completely from the memory
it was though something had been damaged beyond repair and trying to fix it was like trying to re-assemble a stack of snowflakes in a warm room; the effort of trying to do something brought home the futility of trying to do it
note 1
perhaps an essential feature of dreams is that for the dream to serve its purpose it has to be experienced in full

the name of the dream
seating arrangements
this is the vaguest dream for more than a month
lay awake trying to recall it for half an hour
it was something to do with being advised not to exert too great a mental effort
in another scene, at a cinema and there was a girl who was sitting in my seat
tried to get her to realise she was sitting in my seat by repeatedly looking at my ticket and then at her but that didn’t work
there was a compromise as to who should sit where
i wanted to get to know her but it didn’t happen

the name of the dream
good contact
this dream was either in london or amsterdam
a person said he would introduce me to someone who would supply me with the hash
when we got to the house there were two people there
the chap who was going to supply me had an extremely interesting persona about him
he had light-brown skin, slightly portly, a deep smooth voice, an engaging personality and was totally at ease
his relaxed manner could be a character borne of years of being “laid back” but it struck me as being a natural trait
he was only too prepared to give me what i wanted on a regular basis
i bought it there and then, smoked some with him and was walking away from his flat on a double high in the last scene

fourth dream
the name of the dream
the frog-being
same location as the third dream
am walking along when a sound catches my attention
looking at where the sound come from didn’t show anything
a second time the sound was louder but still nothing which looked like it could have made the sound
by now i was standing still so i could zero in on where the sound was coming from
when it sounded again i located the position of the sound but still nothing which told me where to look
the fourth time the sound occurred a slight bit of movement was visible from where the sound was
i moved closer and could now see the movement of the breathing of the animal
it was a light shade of deep green, half the size of a golf ball and its eyes were visible
if i had to describe it in one word i would say it was a frog
but when i picked it up it obviously wasn’t your typical frog
first off, it was closer to being round than any other shape
it didn’t have anything that looked like legs
where it limbs should have been there was small bits of flesh that didn’t look like they could move it or support it
when it made another sound i picked it up
as i was looking at it its mouth opened and a sound with two syllables came out
it was trying to say something !
whatever meaning the sound, it didn’t convey anything to me
two more times the frog-thing made noises and still, absolutely nothing suggested itself
then, completely out of the blue and out of character with its demure posture the frog-being gave out a shout-scream which lasted, like the other sound-dream a few days ago, for a full two seconds
the sound had a bass resonance which filled my head and left no room for anything other than the sound to exist between my ears
but the thing was, the sound was completely recognisable as a sound only a human being could make
i realised immediately this animal, if that’s what it was, had intelligence
i was focused on looking at it and ready to really try to understand what is what trying to get me to understand
twice more it made the captivating human sound
each time the characteristic of the human quality of the sound became more pronounced
it would be possible to understand what it was trying to say eventually but it would take dozens and dozens of attempts
the frog-like being, i would swear to, could read my mind and jumped out of my hand
i picked it up, it made the mesmerising sound again and then jumped out of my hand again
i wasn’t ready for it, yet
notes 1
if this dream is leading to where i think it may be leading to then the frog-being should feature in another dream
notes 2
this is the second dream within this week where the sound of the dream was the stand-out part of the dream
and both times the sound reverberated through my being
the third dream
at the start of this dream i mentioned the frog to the man in this dream
he was familiar with it and knew the name of the species and laughed slightly when he mentioned it
the man worked for a financial trading company
i had spoken to him on the phone and he told me to drop in and see him and he would explain what is was i didn’t understand in a couple of minutes
he was really friendly
i think he gave me some text to read or he was explaining what it was that i didn’t understand which caused this regular dream to become me a think-read dream
the think-reading became simple to put together
it became so easy it was possible to anticipate the text six. seven or eight words ahead of the last word formed
basically, it was two or three sentences that explained the grey areas of the graph
there were marker-positions on the graph which indicated, according to where the markers combined and became brighter or fainter shades of red and green, if it was a safe-buy with a good probability of making a profit or if it was a less than probable of the likelihood of being a success or if it was a possible or probable loss by looking at the markers and lines on the screen
two or three times as i was reading the explanation the description of the marker-graph became an image
category of dream: think-read dream with images (1)
notes 1
the think-reading in this think-dream was as easy to read as would be the writing of any new or unfamiliar text that had graphics in it
can it be presumed that think-read dreams which contain pictorial descriptions will as a matter of course automatically produce images as the description of the images in the text are dread ?
notes 2
another thing… as the images in the text were being formed there was a noticeable shift from the dream-conscious to awake-conscious
the merging of consciousnesses continues at a pace
second dream
name of dream: jumper
twilight-time in coventry
it was located where the odeon cinema is or was (you can google-earth it)
was in a sky-high mood and was jumping as i was walking
the jumps weren’t hop, skip and a jump type of jumps, the jumps put real distance between the ground and my feet
no one else was doing it so i presume the gravity-defying heights of most of the jumps were part of my mood or perhaps latent abilities coming through
no one was startled, on the contrary, people were enjoying watching the display and their broad teeth-smiles encouraged me to do more of the same
an african male who looked to be in his early twenties started to speak to me so i stopped jumping
we spoke for a few sentences and he said we should go back to his place
i was in too good a mood to disappoint anyone so i agreed
within a few steps he had clasped my right arm between his left arm and torso and had a firm grip of my right hand with his left hand and when i tried to jump he used his right hand as well which stopped me from being able to jump but i could still skip
he didn’t seem to mind the skipping but his vice-like hold on me told me he had become possessive
a possessiveness which became more and more accentuated through his tone of voice and it gradually dawned on me he intended to keep me as a pet, or even worse, a slave
it wasn’t going to be hard to break free of his grip and i was weighing up whether to give him a hard or soft jolt back to reality when the dream ended

first dream
the name of the dream: the first day of business
had finally put together an awake-time pet project
if it was the success there would be the scope for huge expansion which could easily end up employing ten’s of thousands of people
a team of ten or twelve of us were checking every aspect of what was to be the first day of business the following day
we were wearing the clothes we would be wearing on the first day of business; basically, it was a dress rehearsal which doubled up as preparation
one of the team was a small man from eastern europe who was the “quietly efficient” type
a native british man asked, “why are there two packets of brown sugar ?”
the eastern european man said, “i thought it would help if we had an extra one of as many different of items we would be using regularly and have essential information of the product, quality, weight, cost… and compare them to the same product in the future”.
whether he realised or not it also meant that anyone and everyone would be able to check and make sure that every product we used and which was a repeat-purchase was the best value-for-money product on the market at that time and it also meant that there were would be no room for embezzlement
a man who was responsible for maintaining an ongoing repeat purchase said jokingly “i hope he doesn’t do that with me”
i jumped in, “it’s a good idea. do it with everybody. including me”
we had all agreed that the following day’s business would start at seven-thirty a.m. and it would give us ample time to make any adjustments and improvisations for oversight’s
the first contact with our client was scheduled for nine
the next scene was the following morning and i had just woke
i looked at the clock next to the bed; it was twenty-past eight
a feeling of panic flooded through me
i was due to meet the clients and begin my part of the business venture at nine o clock which meant i would need to be there at least ten minutes before to demonstrate i could be ahead of schedule if needs be
the place i had to be wasn’t too far away but neither was it within walking distance
i had to consider getting someone who should be doing their job to break their schedule and come and get me
could i run it in time ?
first thing’s first: wash, dress and shave
forget about breakfast, that was a pipe-dream
the thought of why somebody hadn’t knocked on the door or phoned me kept on going through my mind
that no one had contacted me might mean that others had slept in too
the day was turning into a disaster
in a way, all the future plans for the business revolved around this first day’s appointment
it would set the tone and it was on a downward slope
a feeling that something was wrong began welling up in me and it caused me to wake up
i looked at the wall clock
it was just after four a.m.

the name of dream
see category of dreams
this was the longest-ever montage
the images in the montage were not that varied considering the length of the montage (five minutes plus)
mostly they were cartoon figures and settings and mainly they were rich-pastel colours
two or three times during the montage the sequence of images and actions stopped for two or three seconds but a relaxed determintation got them flowing again
i was thinking as the images and actions went on and on that a person could quite easily spend a whole day doing it
more than once i tried, without any success, to impose new themes into the sequence
here’s the new thing… this montage contained three dreams
part-way through watching the montage i slipped into dream-time three different times
the first time it was with a woman, the second was with a dog and the third was of myself explaining and describing to another person that i was experiencing a montage
the last dream in the montage…
we were in a small room with a window that was three-quarters of the wall
he moved to the window and looked out and i said “i’m not seeing what your seeing”
he nodded and i went on “as i’m talking to you i am seeing pastel-coloured cartoon figures and actions”
he said “yes, you said the export order for liverpool is here”
those words weren’t in any part of the montage sequence and i said “now i can see two fat elderly people, a woman and a man who are looking daggers at each other
the dirty looks they were giving each other were straight out of a cartoon and i could hear myself chuckling every time there was a slight variation of their expressions
so now it was an externalised dream within within a montage !
it is also a new category of dream-time conscious: narration of a dream as it is happening
the second dream within the montage was of a dog which wanted to approach me but was weary
i squeezed my lips together and made a kiss sound and the dog moved forward a little
after three times of doing that i was stroking the dog and it was relaxed
in the next scene it was a different dog
the new dog was a gold-cum-sandy-coloured and its mouth was open and its tongue was lolling out of its mouth in the way dogs do when they are too warm
we were looking out of a window and we were in a moving vehicle, i think it was a train
the third dream within this montage was of a woman
can’t remember hardly anything of this dream except it was of a woman; probably because it was the first dream within the montage and so much happened after this dream

name of dream: seriously sexy curvature
same lady as one of the lady’s in yesterday’s x dream
we were both unclothed, standing and with mounting anticipation pulling each other lightly into one another
our heads were side by side and our ears were touching
i looked down during this part of the embrace and as i was looking down the sight of the curvature of her body from her neck down and along the spine and back out again to the peak of the protrusion of her buttock’s sent my senses reeling
i was at bursting point
the sight of the colour of her skin and the sweeping curves of her back was a top-flight x visualisation

the name of the dream
when men stopped believing
was watching, or may have been participating in, a review of a piece of art called “man on a train.”
it was a painting of five of the carriages of a train and it was moving from left to right as it passed through the viewer’s field of view
the viewer was meant to keep her or his head still as the painting moved from left to right, the idea was to give the viewer a different impression for each of the carriages as the carriages filled their field of view of between 100 to 120 degrees
three of the carriages were in colour and had around seven or eight persons in each of them
the passengers in the coloured carriages were looking in the direction the train was going or the direction it was coming from
the middle two carriages were in black and white and the passengers were looking out of the train looking directly at the viewer
when the two black and white black and white carriages had just gone out of the picture, a voice said: “did you see it? why is it in? it spoils it”
then, a woman and a man began debating, at great length, the minutiae of the painting and critiquing, of what seemed to be to me, completely insignificant things
the debate went on and on…
i couldn’t stand it any longer
i interrupted
“i like art as much as the next person, but there are other things in life which need to be given the same amount of scrutiny as we’re giving to this work of art.”
i continued, “don’t you know that the reason men in europe stopped believing in god was that the suffering they had to endure in world war one was so intense they couldn’t believe that a loving god would let it happen?”
notes 1
as i was growing up the phrase i heard, again and again, was, “if God existed he wouldn’t have let it happen”
the reason for most wars is money
only those living in denial or ignorance will fail to see the truth of the matter
as usual, it’s jewish and british financiers and the other two cliques mentioned in the lead article who are causing the current acts of mass murder
notes 1
the pde’s of the last couple of days are the foundation for this dream
one was watching a biography of turner, the other was listening to a programme that tried to whitewash what was the second greatest act of mass murder (the first is hiroshima) in history by saying that a thousand people were killed when it was, in fact, a hundred thousand

first dream
the name of the dream
futuristic t.v.
staying with an awake-time friend from twenty-three years ago
he had an almost-square wall-mounted t.v. about one-hundred twenty cm
it had the most dicreet design of any t.v. i’ve ever seen
the only thing on the front was the name of the manufacturer
it was called a google netbox; there were three or four other words written on it
the words on the screen were a slightly lighter shade of black than the screen and they became invisible when the set was on
the design of the t.v. was captivating but the real bit of tech was the channel-receiver which was itself about a third of the size of the t.v. and had array of about thirty square coloured buttons which protruded slightly
i already had a t.v. but the large gizmo which passed the channels to the t.v. was a must
it could pick up any signal which was in the ether which meant tens of thousands and even perhaps even millions of channels
it was an internet version of t.v. channels
i ordered and paid for one and the delivery and installation of the “techmaster” is the next scene in the dream
a woman with a body that had a big frame was reading out the terms and conditions bit of the contract and mentioned a fifty pound charge for maintenance if it ever needed it
i said “that wasn’t mentioned when i ordered it”
the women said “yes, i know” and carried on reading out the terms and conditions as though she hadn’t heard me
i said “just a moment. fifty pounds isn’t nothing. in certain circumstances it can be a lot”
the woman had obviously had issues about the fifty pounds on other occasions and knew that a person would nod and accept it or would, like me, start questioning it
i saw she was bracing herself for what might be an awkward time
to me this sort of sneaky money-grabbing was a sore point and had been the cause of a done-deal becoming undone on more than just one other occassion
the dream ended
01022019
the name of the dream
back in prison
it was the first day of my sentence and i was in the dining area
against the wall furthest away from the serving area there was a part of the dining area that had goods for sale
the items were in see-through plastic packets about the size of a credit card
the packets were hooked onto the fixture with metal s-shaped hooks
the item i wanted was at the top of the fixture and i assumed a person wanting to buy an item would be able to detach the packet and make sure it was what he wanted
mistake
a thin, tall inmate was standing next to the hard cardboard fixture, probably to make sure no one nicked anything and was waiting for someone like me to do what i did which was to unhook an item to look at it in detail
he said “you’re not allowed to take them off the board. put it back”
i tried to explain i only wanted to make sure it was what i wanted but this guy had the protection of the guards and used his position to assert himself authoritatively, something he could only do if he had back-up
he caught the attention of one of the guards and the guard began making his way towards us
i hadn’t been in the place five minutes and already i was a trouble-maker
i knew there would be a harsh punishment and lost control of myself by grabbing the small finger of the hand of the trustee inmate and bending it back until he was wincing and said “if you get me in trouble i’ll see you later”
the inmate said “now you’ve assaulted me as well”
in the next scene, i am in an outdoor training ground with mud everywhere and am being escorted towards a scene of activity
it was two lines of young men in dark-blue overalls who were competing with each other
there were being trained for armed-combat
there was impressive coordination in their movements and they sounded-off in unison
i knew my fate and had accepted it
i said to the escort-guard “there is a strong camaraderie between them”
the last part of the dream was a montage which had about five scenes
it was a trailer of a war film which ended as the title of the film was beginning to show
it was called “the desert rats”

name of dream:
a snack and a decent meal, not
the first scene, invited three mates back for fried eggs, tinned tomatoes and toast
they gratefully accepted and their warm response to my offer told me i had asked the right people at the right time
the second scene, back at my place on the second floor of a two-storey house
in the cramped room of the bedsit, the neon light went out
decided to take the tube out of its housing and reinsert it thinking it might be a loose connection
in the third scene, as i am stretching up again and trying to loosen the neon strip from its housing a round bit of silver-coloured metal fell from the light and shorted the electrics (the most vivid part of the dream… 3.6)
the mood changed as we all realised the meal was off
one of the invited people was really disappointed and started complaining with a challenging belligerence
i apologised as sincerely and humbly as i knew how
the fourth scene, the three males had left the dream and was still hungry so i decided to “splash out” and go and have a sit-down meal at a half-decent cafe
the fifth scene, at the almost-a-restaurant i discovered my credit cards were back at the bedsit
the sixth scene, back in the room the wardrobe was falling apart
the bottom of the wardrobe was crumbling and losing tiny bits of wood every time i moved something while looking for the cards
it was on the verge of becoming so unstable it might topple forward the next time it moved
the seventh scene, went to the next floor down where the landlady, a shapely and sturdy woman of about thirty, was telling me she couldn’t do anything about the wardrobe until the next day
the eighth scene, back in my room and looking down at the front door of the building watching the comings and goings of the people
the ninth scene was on the ground floor, as i was leaving the building someone’s visitor was coming into the house
he said something “sarky” in a dismissive and provocative way as we passed each other
notes 1
every scene was a different time-tense
the dream-time or inter-undulationary memory was doing its best to put together the pde’s
gauging it from the vividness factor, this dream was mainly past time-tenses
ideally, we’re trying to achieve a vividness factor of 3.3 and higher for all scenes

the third dream
name of dream:
in my place with one or two other people
nothing special was happening
light chatter, a bit of movement
the bed i had slept on was like a bed that someone had just got out of
a figure went passed the kitchen window and in the next scene dennis had just walked into the living room
he had come to ask what was the best point of departure to get to france
“dover,” i said
“what’s the best way to get to dover ?” he asked
“train,” i said
in the next scene, he sat and then laid down on the bed i had just got out of
he had moccasin-style beach sandals on and the heels of them were resting on the sheets
“don’t put your feet on the sheets. i sleep on them”
he sat back up
i said “i’ll come with you. i’ve got the money and i fancy a holiday”
i wouldn’t be going to france though, i would be going to holland; my favourite country
there was some more talking about the journey to dover before the dream ended

notes 1
the most noteworthy thing about this dream was the details of the location
the location was accurate right down to the position of the sofa and the colour of the cover of the duvet and the people in the dream are people i know currently
in the dream, my feet are pointing west whereas the current, and long-standing position, is north
this is very much a present time-tense
a computer wasn’t in this dream and that means the dream was the past of a past undulation
the absence of a computer must mean it is between fifty or a hundred or so undulations of the present undulation
apart from precognitive dreams, this was the most accurate placement of the time-tense of any dream so far
*
with one raised to the 99th power years to go in this undulation, you may wonder why there is only a one-year step forward each undulation
love/life, you should be aware, is generous to a fault
love/life is also ultra-sensitive to the feelings of those who are terminally-ill: see the analogy of parents with terminally-ill children in the endic database
*
there is also the consideration of soul-partners who are coming-to-be and those who have yet to establish the connection with their soul-partner
the wanton acts of murder that have and are being perpetrated in the present and past of this undulation reflect the insensitivity of our nature
as we move forward into the future of this undulation our feelings become evermore honed-in to the delicate balance of the qualitative aspect of our lives
by the time you-know-who is with us these times won’t be of any significance
to take a qualitative run at infinity means attuning ourselves in a way and to a degree which we are not yet able to imagine
one insight we can project into the forever is pleasure
it can be stated with confidence that we will have to be in a state of pleasure at least five and ten thousand times more pleasurable than the most pleasurable experiences we currently experience
it won’t be football-match emotions, (over the moon one minute and down in the dumps the next) it will be a steadily increasing state of wonder
second dream
name of the dream: some men just can’t wait
in bed and there is a girl in the next room who was getting ready to join me
she was taking a space-age to come to me through from where she was
the longer i was waiting the more aroused i became
it got to the point where i couldn’t contain myself
so before you could say “cock robin” i masturbated and had ejaculated
and then there was another wait and still, in a state of arousal, i masturbated again and ejaculated again
i was still cleaning myself when she walked into my room from her room
she said “have you come ?” and i nodded
she deliberately waited for me to empty myself; it would take longer for me to get worked up again
i felt disappointed with myself for not being able to control myself
oddly, i was still feeling disappointed with myself even after i woke up and realised it was only a dream

name of the dream
attempted intimidation
on the ground floor of a three-storey prison
a narrow-faced, narrow-eyed, diminutive inmate thought i was ripe for intimidation
he made a veiled threat concerning my future
i wasn’t in the mood to be threatened
i feinted a movement with my left arm to the left
his eyes followed my arm
with his gaze distracted i whipped my right hand to his neck and using the index finger ran the back of the nail across his throat
“do you realise how easy it would be to cut your throat with a piece of broken glass ?” i said

second dream
the name of the dream
swinging on a star
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvZJCh34LjQ
the first scene, moving about in a largish room singing the song “swinging on a star” and alternating between normal, falsetto and bass voice
second scene: one or two other people chimed in at various points in the song which gave the song more swing (the stand-out part of the dream)
the third dream
name of the dream
deadly peep ‘o
the first scene had to go to the bathroom
the second scene, in the bathroom and when i tried to lock the door the latch on the door slid over the latch-catch but slipped back off it just as easily with the slightest pressure
i expected to be in there for more than a minute or two and began trying different ways of getting the door to close securely
a peashooter-sized square metal bar materialised and slotted into position in the latch area and kept the door secure
the fourth scene, someone fired a bullet through the door which only just missed me
then there was another shot and another bullet which, again, buried itself into the wall
the door was made of a flimsy hardboard
there was a hole in the area where the latch was about the size of a salad tomato, presumably where the original lock for the door had been
there was also a button-sized hole in the middle of the door which looked like it was a peep-hole and there was a gap at the top of the door big enough for someone to stick there head through
i looked through the peephole to see who it was firing at me and saw the person with the gun who could now also see me
i jumped behind a wall to the side of the door just in time to miss the next bullet
the person with the gun knew the bullet wouldn’t pass through the wall and poked the barrel of the gun through the peep-hole and turned the barrel in my direction
a round tube of metal in the peep-hole became dislodged as the gun was forced through
i grabbed hold of it
now he could fire a shot at where i was but equally couldn’t see if i was still in the position i had moved to
he stuck his head over the top of the door to locate me
while he was getting into position it gave me enough time to slip the round, hollow metal sleeve that had lined the peephole, and which was now conveniently bent, and enable it to slip over the barrel of the gun and direct the exiting bullet to fire upwards
the bloke with the gun looked over the door, saw what i had done and said “you must be ******g joking”
i was waiting for him to pull the trigger when the dream ended

the name of the dream
hurricanes
this dream is a new variation of a Montage
the first 4 or 5 images, were of winds blowing over walls, fences etc.
the montage sequence stopped after the fifth scene and it became a regular-type dream (prolonged scenes)
then, after the regular-type of a dream, another four or five
montage-motion images occurred
swapping between, montages and regular-type dreams happened three or four times
in the last of the regular-type dream sequences, a girl said something and i said to her “me?” and she said “yes, mr talk-to-the-feds, me”
all in all, there were three or four montage-motion scenes with hurricane-strength winds showing things being blown into the air or along the ground or broken
notes 1
i knew this was going to happen years ago
because dreams start at the beginning of time and encompass all the experiences of all people throughout all Undulations, dreams and dreams theory is going to become bigger than any encyclopedia could be
it’s not just the content of dreams which has to be evaluated but also the content of the dream has to be seen in the context of the type of the dream
i like a mentally challenging problem as much as the next bloke but there is no doubt, formulating dreams is going to tax the mind to the limit

the name of the dream
bows and arrows and cars and freeways
this three-scene dream opens with one group of about twenty horsemen dressed in medieval garb being pursued by another group of about the same number
there is a gap of about two-hundred-and-fifty metres between the two factions
the leading group are at an advantage because the lay of the land between them is sharply inclined, the difference in height is about two-hundred metres
one of the leading group stops his horse, stands up in the stirrups, half-turns and, with a straight-arm overthrow, propels a two-metre-long spear at the trailing column
the javelin/spear curves through the air in a twenty-degree curve and hits one of the men in the chasing column
the scene changes to an aerial view which shows a mountainous terrain that stretches several kilometres to the left and takes in about a kilometre ahead where a dozen men are lying flat on their stomachs at the edge of a ravine
the men are looking down at a four-lane highway with dozens of cars winding like a snake through the ravine
notes 1
this dream has the added interesting variation for the dreamer due to an account of the dream being composed at the end of the dream using the think-writing technique which made recalling the dream, fifteen minutes after waking and having had a cuppa, a doddle
notes 2
it’s not easy to put this dream into a single time-tense
it is assumed because the horses are not in the final scene, this is the dream-time memory mixing time-tenses
the idea of a conflict with bows and arrows and spears with highways and cars is just about impossible to reconcile
…a dream worthy of the twilight zone

the name of the dream
the sublime simplicity… the bounteous nature…
the scene of this dream… about ten concrete stairs, each stair about a third of a metre high and they are a little deeper than they are high
a round, light-silver coloured hand-rail is affixed into the ground at the bottom and top of the stairs and is situted in the middle of the stairs
the stairs are sunk into a ridge of grass at an angle of about fifteen derees
i am at the bottom-left of the stairs and my girl is half-way up on the right of the handrail
i begin to move towards my girl and as the gap between us closes, first our eyes make contact, and at that moment of eye-contact our souls reach into each other and the physical presence our souls ignite
the mingling of our souls produces, yet again, that oldest and eternally-new feeling of plurailty, of being able to remain fused for as long as we want
we can play tag on the stairs for as long as the physical structure of concrete and metal lasts
given the variations of speed, hand-contact, lip-contact…
on those stairs we can play for years and years
oh, the bounteous nature of love/life
the superlatively simplistic joy of playfulness
the overwhelmingly attractive sensation of the eternal dictate
“you must be expansive”
notes 1
the third dream within in a month which contained the baulking sensation endlessness
this one though was the most pronounced and brought the writer out of his sleep
both the sense of an extended presence beyond the physical body, this sensation happened in awake-time, and the sense of freedom associated with the concept of endlessness have happened before but this is the first time they have happened together
the two sensations, being fused with another person, coupled with a sense of playfulness, made the concept of endlessness much easier to cope with, though i must say, in this dream i still found the sense of endlessness mildly overwhelming and it was that feeling which woke me up

the name of the dream
gun-threat
the first scene, set in an open prison
returning to the barracks-style dormitories from the dining room
a pleasant looking young lad about ten-centimetres shorter than me sides up to me and makes a threat which isn’t threatening in tone, it’s more like a suggestion
i was looking at him and thinking about why he had said it
my first thought was that someone had put him up to it and whoever it was wanted me to hit him so they could start a fight with me
he then made another threat and pulled a gun out of his jacket pocket
the gun was made of black metal and oozed death (the stand-out part of the dream)
i was so angry that he had threatened my life i took the gun from him and quickly thrust it into my pocket
if i was caught with a gun in a prison i would get years added to my sentence
i had to get rid of the gun without delay
i walked passed the row of dormitories to my right and straight out of the prison
the second scene, in town and heading for a large store
my intention was to drop the gun into the pan in one of the toilets in the men’s room but that had drawbacks
the third scene was walking further away from the centre of town, thinking only of putting more distance between me and the prison
as i was walking between a footpath that separated two rows of terraced houses, to my left there was there was a crater-sized hole which had seven-feet deep murky water and had thick green foliage on the bottom and around the sides, perfect for disposing of a gun
threw the gun into the water and heard the plop as it broke through the surface
the plop sound was a lot louder than i thought it would be and so i looked up and around to see if the sound had caught anyone elses attention
it had, a woman sitting outside of her house, to the right and a storey above the pool of water, looked to where the sound had come from but didn’t see anything and looked away
i was satisfied it wouldn’t be found in a hurry
i was wondering if my fingerprints would still be on the gun after days or months of being in the water when the dream ended
notes 1
the gun in the dream was due to a vivid picture of a gun in an episode of columbo
the opening scene of prison is due to the continued feeling of oppression of the society i live in
the woman in the chair may be a random factor

the name of the dream
confusion at the penultimate stop
was returning from a day out in exeter
the last but one stop the train made before it got to my destination (plymouth) gave me the opportunity to finish the journey by catching a bus from outside the train station
got off the train and the confusion began
the name of the station was different from the one on the map
no one i asked had heard of the station i thought i was standing on
i couldn’t leave the station to check the bus route because i would have to surrender the ticket to get out of the station
the pressure was on
if i got back on the train, the next stop might not be the destination i thought it would be
the people on the platform became assembled into groups of thirty or so and were becoming as confused as me
first, one group of people walked one way then a different group moved into where the first group had been
another group of people were coming up from the far end of the platform
the train would be pulling out any time now
i was alone, confused and everybody else was confused in groups
it had the potential to get worse
i woke up before it did

the name of the dreams
the magicians and the stretch room
had become friendly with two male magicians who lived in the same building i had just moved into
the first scene, the three of us are in their small flat
when they tell me they are professional magicians, i ask them to show me some of their tricks
they showed me several different acts
the one which impressed me caused me to start, and i remember recoiling slightly
it was when one of the young lads stood to the left-hand side of his mate and stretched his arm around his back and produced a card from behind the other boy’s ear
it was the speed at which the card materialised which took me by surprise
it was so quick it looked as if it came out of the thin air
the two lads became interested in my profession when i told them i was a d.j.
they were enthusiastic about doing music events, and when i said i would let them use my equipment and show them the ropes we began planning in earnest
in the next scene, my girlfriend was with me, and i ask the lads to show my girlfriend the tricks
as the trick of pulling a card from behind the ear was happening, i watched my girlfriend for her reaction
she too was taken aback and showed it by recoiling a little when the card materialised
the next scene, i am in the middle of moving my furniture and belongings into my room
already in the cramped room is a single bed, a two-seater settee and a table and chairs
the two lads are, with great difficulty, bringing up the steep stairs a fold-down, metal-based three-seater convertible bed
in the next scene, the three seater bed has found a home and one or two other seats has joined it
at this point of the dream, the dream becomes externalised as i count out loud the number of people who could sit if needed… it was thirteen or fourteen
the dream reverts to being internalised again, and now there are two distinct sides to the room with enough space for someone to walk along between them
beyond the furniture, there are sections on both sides of the room which have weight training apparatus and shiny metal frames with weights
the room looks to be at least twenty metres long and six or seven metres wide

the name of the dream
a hint of piousness
two men, looked like they were from western indo-china, were taking questions from a live audience
the reply to one question from someone the audience was: “it’s only people who believe in jesus who will get to heaven”
notes 1
there’s a point made elsewhere in endic that’s worth a second mention
back in the late 1980s, the writer became involved with church-going christians
what became noticeable straight away was the fact that not one of them was living within ethical parameters
the answer given in the dream should have been… “it doesn’t matter whether you believe in jesus or not. as long you never commit murder a place in heaven is assured”

the name of the dreams
ethical eating and unthoughtful parking
the food dream is only partly remembered
the theme of the dream was about applying ethics to eating
i can remember a pot of food with parsnips in it
and there was quite a lot of emotion about the issue of eating ethically
notes 1
this dream throws up the notion that some vegetables have greater ethical content or value than others
if this is the case, then there will be a formulatable index which denotes the degrees of ethicalness between vegetables
notes 1
to begin work on a list of the “ethicalness” of vegetables will mean ascertaining the date of the emergence of each vegetable
a new field of study/research… the tabulating of the evolution of vegetables
second dream
came out of the house and fifty metres down the street i saw there was a white refuse-collection truck parked in the resident’s car park, it looked like it had come off the production line the day before
there was no space between the top of the truck and the bottom of the concrete floor separating the floors of the car park; the concrete floor may have been the foundation of the apartments above the car park
my sense-impression, which are usually correct, was that the driver of the vehicle had the latest model of a refuse-collection truck and had a highfalutin attitude which allowed him to park wherever he wanted
the truck was blocking the access of free movement of other vehicles in the car park which jiggled my sense of reasonableness
i decided to do something about it
it was a struggle to squeeze over the wall and get to the driver’s side of the cabin
i could just get my hand to the door handle and managed to open the door and as i squeezed further into the cabin i held onto something to pull myself in further
the something i held onto was a lever which caused the tipping container to start rising
i realised i had unintentionally initiated a potentially serious outcome and could feel the panic welling up inside me which was growing when the dream ended
notes 2
there’s no doubt in my mind that this dream was due to not to stray thoughts during the day but thinking some seriously unhealthy thoughts about the people causing so much of the disruption in the world

the name of the dream
dorothy and the seal
the first scene, going up the stairs of a large four or five-storey block of flats
someone i knew was concerned about someone they knew and asked me to look in on an elderly woman called Dorothy
after getting to the top of the stairs i walk along two narrow hallways with doors every three or four metres
in the hallway where dorothy lived there were two elderly people in a huddle gossiping
i knew the number of dorothy’s door but asked the two elderly where no. ?was as a way ladies as a way of saying hello
in the next scene, i’m in dorothy’s living-room and before i can say hello to dorothy i was amazed to see a full-grown seal spread out on a deep three-seater settee
the seal was the size of a person and looked a lot heavier, at least fourteen or fifteen stone
the seal was looking at me intently and it seemed the seal was waiting to see what i would do next
i reacted to the seal the same way i would to a toddler… i pointed at the seal and started in with the baby talk… “whose the little person then? what’s your name? what are you doing here?
the seal was delighted, it looked like it was laughing without making any sounds
the more i pointed and spoke the more excited it became
the seal began swaying backwards and forwards, lifted one of its flippers and then rolled over and lay on its back
i knew the position; it was the position cats and dogs take when they want their stomachs to be scratched or tickled or wanted to play
i went for a soft scratch
i looked at Dorothy and said, “am i doing it right?”
the look on her face suggested i wasn’t and i said: “will you move my fingers in the way i should do it?”
she came over, laid her hand on my hand and i bent and moved my fingers in synchronisation with hers
the dream ended while we were gently moving our fingers over the seal’s stomach area

this is the second dream of dorothy within a week

composing and publishing dreams has, again, become the most time-consuming activity of the day and consequently, i have taken the easy way out and omitted composing dreams which didn’t have quality, or interest or entertainment or…
it appears that dreams diary is taking over my life, again
dreams theory’s implications and applications are thought to be more significant in the long-term than quantum theory has proved to be to date
as mentioned elsewhere, it is the single most powerful tool for bringing Soul Partners together
using dreams theory to bring couples together was also the prime reason for starting a dreams diary back in 2009
if things go as they could/should, by the end of this millennium we will have enough free time to spend a minimum of two hours each day exploring and merging the two states of consciousness
notes 3
the stand-out part of this dream was the eye-contact with the seal as i approached it
it exuded intelligence and had the most human-looking eyes of any animal of any dream to date
come to think of it, i can’t think of there being this much clarity with human eye-contact in any dream
surely there should be lots of dreams with people, especially of the opposite gender, where the eye-contact is the stand-out bit of the dream !
possibly the shape of a human being triggers neural connections which inherently have a “connectedness” in them which isn’t there with non man-shaped beings

the name of the dream
the golden retriever (one of the lost 100)
someone’s child had gone missing
i went to look in a wood at the edge of the village
as i neared the wood there were half a dozen small bushes
in one of bushes i heard something or saw some movement and went to investigate
peering into the bush i saw a golden retriever with five or six of her new-born puppies
the mother of the dogs became lively, got up, ran two or three metres and then ran back
she done this twice more before i cottoned-on; she wanted me to stay with her puppies
i stooped down, that signalled to her i was staying
she ran off and disappeared into the wood
within moments of the dream she re-appeared out of the wood and stood still
it was obvious to me she wanted me to go to where she was, which i did
when i was close enough she ran back into the wood
i only had to follow her a short distance before i arrived at where she was with the toddler
once the golden retriever had done her motherly duty she ran back to her puppies
notes 1
will ask you to bear in mind that this website believes that dreams are composed of the memories of actual events of past, present and future undulations
with this in mind we have to assign animals with the qualities of human beings
at what point do we draw the line between instinct and intellect?

the name of the dreams
over-priced delivery and smut t.v.
two consecutive days when the dream was set in a mega-store, think it was the same store as in yesterday’s dream
a sixty-five or seventy-five-inch t.v. was on offer for £350
it was within my budget and so i began the process of buying it
in the next scene, couldn’t see the brand name on the t.v. and when i asked a female assistant the make of the t.v. she said “panative”
everything was going swimmingly until the t.v. was in the box and ready to be taken to the car
the t.v., when in the box, was, i realised, was too big to fit into the car
a female saleswoman suggested we take the t.v. to the car and see if we could fit it in
two saleswomen helped getting the t.v. to the car, but as i thought it was too big to fit into the car any which-way
i asked for it to be delivered and was told the delivery would cost £100
so now the price had become £450 and it was no longer a bargain price and decided not to buy it
the scene of the dream changed to being at home but the theme of the dream remained the same… the t.v.
a live audience gave out an anticipatory “ooooh” when the show’s host announced “here’s the picture we’ve been waiting for”
i had to concentrate my ability to focus to see the image on the screen and after a couple of seconds of dream-time a man with his trousers pulled down below his waist was showing his “knob” to a female celebrity
it was completely tasteless
it had been shown merely to break ground in live t.v. shows
there was then another four or five montage-type scenes of male and female genitalia, none of them had appeal and so i turned the t.v. in my mind off and woke up

the name of the dream
feeling the pinch
first scene, it was first thing in the morning when i entered through the large glass doors of one of the high street supermarkets
it wasn’t a fly-by-night, here today, gone tommorrow, company but one of the long-established national brand-name food chains
to my left and on the floor, laid out and covering an area of about four by four metres were what looked to be two or three hundred small glass jars, all the same size (about ten centimetres in heighth and five centimetres across) were jars with screw-on lids
just in front of the glass jars there were items which were too big to fit into the jars
most of the items not in jars were in see-through packets
one of the items noy in a packet and too big to be in a jar caught my eye and i bent down and picked it up to take a good look at it
when i was standing up and it was in my hands i saw it was a mobile telephone
the phone was a stretched oblong shape, typically thin and cream in colour
the phone had a small white price tag cellotaped on the front with the price written by hand, it was £32
as i was looking at it one of two men in white shirts standing nearby approached me and said, nodding to my right “you have to take it to the pay-desk over there”
the phone was an absolute bargain and anyone who was thinking of buying or upgrading a mobile would have snapped it up
it wasn’t my style though, it was long enough but it was too narrow
i put it back on the floor and while bent down picked up one of the jars which had five or six rechargeable aa-sized batteries
my guess was they had come from a packet which had come apart
again, it was another snip of a buy and was on the verge of walking to the cash desk with them when the thought that they weren’t new but might have been used and then returned, crossed my mind
it wasn’t beyond the bounds of reasonable and legal selling practises for a firm to sell something as new without stipulating it wasn’t
i put the jar down and went off to buy what it was i had come shopping for, food, i think
after the above dream there was a single-scene
it was, i am reasonably sure, of myself
notes 1
when the dreamer, for one reason or another, gets the feeling that a scene is of self, it shall be categorised as a “selfie-scene” dream
there was a liitle movement in the scene so it wont be categorised as a pic although there have been several of these “selfie-scene dreams” over the years that did look like portraits of self (we can assign still pics of self as “selfie-portraits”)
as with the majority of other “selfie’s”, it isn’t clear cut it is of self, however, as they are “stand-alone” scenes and pics that are not in amongst dreams with scenes, i don’t know what else to call them
it will have to be left to the dreamer to determine whether it is self or not
as with other selfie-dreams and pics they can be flattering or downright grotesque, the one in this dream sequence was “acceptibly” me

the name of the dream
miss penny
it was known within the second second of the opening scene of this dream that miss penny was an oligarch “plant”
miss penny had gained notoriety within the last year and in this dream, she is into the half-hour after having had her “15 mins”
miss p’s claim to misfame is that she had, with the blessing of the “garch’s” (an abbreviation of “oligarch”), been given carte blanche to criticise “the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy” through the mainstream media
one of the words she had used in her one-line attack of the show was “trite” which, mysteriously, had produced a wave of indignation which threatened to set fellow man against fellow
her refusal to recant left deep scars in society, which are still reverberating in the time-tense in which this dream is set
miss penny herself was a slight young lady, six-and-a-half stone tops, and about five-feet-four
she has the complexion of a person with ginger hair and wears her jet-black hair tight and swept to the back of her head
she had been briefed that she wouldn’t get what she wanted from me and her mission was to find a way into my life and create havoc
even though i was aware of her motives i decided to let her into my life and bed her as quickly as possible
the intention was to turn the tables and get her to join me in my purpose in life, so i invited her to come back to live with me
in one scene, i knew she had done her homework when she asked me to fetch an amplifier (she indicated the size of the amp by holding out her arm with her flat palm facing down at about half a metre from the ground) from where she lived with her last boyfriend, saying it was the only thing she wanted
in another scene, although she had an intense and determined attitude she gave me a genuine smile when i said “if you’re not careful i’ll start calling you miss prettypenny”; alluding to miss moneypenny
we were beginning to understand each other

the name of the dream
the sure-footed toddler
on a sunny summer’s day outside the flat of where i used to live before where i live now, there was a steady procession of people i knew walking down a flight of fourteen brick stairs
in all, there were four groups of people known to me who walked down the stairs and each different group was a different scene of the dream
it’s unnecessary to give an account of the manner of the way each group of people made there way down the stairs, suffice it to say, a few lines could be written about each group which would distinguish the personalities of one group from another
the last group to walk to down the stairs was a family of four, two adults and two children
the youngest of the children, a toddler of two or three were ahead of the rest of the family
she was much too young to be allowed to walk, though navigate would be a better description, down the stairs herself and i felt angry that her parents were letting her try
each tentative step she took could have been the one before she lost balance and fell and hurt herself, which i was expecting her to do on any of the fourteen steps
it wasn’t until the thirteenth step that she momentarily lost balance but managed to rectify her imbalance and took a confident final step onto the level ground

the name of the dream
the down-side of generosity
had made a really good contact of a hash-dealer
he sold me about four ounces of best quality hash in strips of half-ounces
the hash was brittle so the deal had about half an ounce in bits that had broken off the slab as he was cutting it up when he was weighing it out
made a gift of about a quarter to a respected tough guy not to gain favour but to let him know generosity could have had a good effect (he was one of those types of people who see generosity as a weakness)
so i knew straight away who had told the ruling criminal-class who sent two or three of their clique to dispossess me of my bit of good fortune
i was living in a first flat on the first floor and had fallen asleep in a little buggy-hole which wasn’t where a person who was looking for another person would look
it was the sounds of the flat being trashed which had woken me
i peered through the door and there was a smart-dressed burly african bloke who didn’t know where i was heading my way
behind him was the bloke who was turning the place upside down, not because he was looking for the hash but because trashing people and places were his nature
i kid you not, this guy had the build, and the character, of the cave-troll in the film “the lord of the rings”
he would have searched me in the same way he was searching the flat
he could and would have searched me by tearing the clothes off my body, causing me no-end of broken bones, cuts and abrasions
i was in deep trouble but woke up before he got to me

the name of the dream
the male kerb-crawler
it was late at night, after pub-closing time
i was about thirty metres from antie g’s house and was aware that there was a green car keeping pace with me about ten metres behind
not sure what age i am in this dream but am fully aware of the situation
in the next scene, i am indoors with auntie g and telling her about the car
in the next scene, auntie g is very animated because she can see the car is still prowling up and down the street, i tell her to call the police
i want this bloke caught and decide to go back into the street and keep him around by pretending to be interested in him long enough for the police to arrive
at one point the car has stopped and the driver has decided to come and talk to me
at this part of the dream, the car has become a green 5 cwt van
the dream ended here
notes 1
this dream is the result of thoughts over the last few days
there was an awake-time situation when something like this happened
i was seventeen or eighteen
it was about 1 a.m.
i was on the way home from a dance in the city centre and had about another mile and a half to go
was walking along on the left-hand side of the road
a car with three men, all a bit on the burly side, pulled up alongside me
as in this dream, i knew exactly, could sense, what the situation was
it was seven or eight metres to a junction just ahead of me and the pavement i was on was about three metres wide, so i didn’t feel hemmed in
the man in the back of the car asked me if i wanted a lift home
knowing what the situation was i politely declined by saying ” no thanks, i’ve only got a hundred yards to go”
he didn’t want to take no for an answer and persisted in as friendly a tone as he could muster to persuade me to get into the car
i could see he was looking me up and town and weighing up if he could get out of the car and abduct me
as mentioned, i wasn’t hemmed in and knew, being a bit tasty at the four-hundred metres, that i could out-run him if he did get out of the car
i figured that it was unlikely they would pursue me in the car
a car doing a u-turn at a junction in the middle of the night with a young lad “running for it” would draw too much attention to them if another car or person came along
notes 2
over the years i have wondered what would have happened to me if i didn’t have the presence of mind to see what was happening and had fallen into the trap
i have no doubt it would have been a life-changing or life-ending outcome

the name of the dream
dare-devil flyer, kitchen-cleaning and a montage
this period of r.e.m. https://www.verywellhealth.com/the-four-stages-of-sleep-2795920 produced two themes and a montage
two small groups of three or four people within thirty metres of each other in a level field which was about six-hundred by six-hundred metres
the sound of the engines of a light aircraft got steadily louder and became more laboured as it got louder
it was obviously descending
there was a thick low-level grey cloud about one-hundred and fifty metres above the ground
as the sound of the engine of the plane was at its loudest and it seemed as though the plane was about to break through the cloud and crash to the ground the sound of the engine lessened and the plane began to climb
eventually, the sound of plane softened, grew quiter and then couldn’t be heard
after a few seconds of silence the same sounds that we heard originally began again
this time though there was a sense of apprehension
the sequence of sounds happened another five or six times and because there was no way of anticipating where the plane would crash each time the sound began again our apprehension intensified and by the last sequence we were gripped by a sense of fear
kitchen-cleaning
two of us were in the kitchen where i currently live
my attention was drawn to some dust that had become black because it had been there for so long
a quick rub with a damp rag cut though dust and showed a clean, white ledge
some more areas that needed cleaning became part of the dream and as they were cleaned the kitchen got brighter and brighter
notes 1 kitchen-theme
from memory, this is the third dream of my current location
montage
the first one or two images were, i think, of me
if the remaining four, five or six images were of me they weren’t of me this lifetime
like the increasing nature of the aeroplane theme, with each new image i became bigger, more muscular and by the last image (some of them had movement) muscles were still evident but i was vearing on being grotesquely obese

the name of the dream
how not to carry heavy items
three of us were full of enthusiasm to do a gig
it meant having to carry an odd-shaped fifteen-kilogram speaker and an even heavier orange amp with no carrying handles to the venue
with a gig in the offing, nothing was going to stop us from getting there and making a good job of it
both of the other two men were stronger than me so i had the job of carrying light sundry items… leads, mic, etc
we hadn’t gone fifty metres when the person carrying the amp was complaining it was too heavy and awkward
the strongest person swapped items with him, he wasn’t phased by the weight
then, via the magic of dreams, a shopping wheelie materialised in the next scene of the dream
we tied the two heavy items onto the wheelie and the problems were over for the two bigger guys when they discovered that with each of them pulling one of the handles of the wheelie the weight was no longer an issue
the bag i was carrying was starting to feel heavy though…
i woke up thinking about whether to buy a lightweight, ultra-efficient sack-truck for eighty pounds the same as the one a man coming out of a shop in town in awake-time about six months ago let me move about

the name of the dream
the job seeker
desperately needed a job and was methodically going from business to business along the high street of a busy city centre trying to sell myself
after trying a dozen or so businesses hadn’t had any luck
the same two reasons were given for not employing me… either i didn’t have any experience in the type of work the companies specialised in or i was too old
decided to try one or two more places before finally calling it a day
the next door i walked through was well-lit and had about twenty cubicles, ten on either side of the oblong room, separated by a single sheet of a chest-high glass plate
don’t remember what it was the companys’ service or goods were
after speaking to the person who started the company, a patient, friendly man, he too said i was too old for the job and that should have been that
as i was getting up and leaving i proposed that the company could do something unusual with regard to one of the things he had said during the informal interview
when i was out of the building and a few steps down the street i realised i had left something in the building i had just come out of and turned around and went back to pick it up
the stocky man in a white shirt who had interviewed me was now standing and further into the room
my parting remark must have tweaked his imagination because now he was overly polite and keen to hear more about the suggestion i’d made
i realised he would employ me if i could expand further on some of the details of the idea
while explaining to him he motioned to someone to come over to us and listen to what was being said
the final scene of the dream was me saying “so i should be here tomorrow at the same time, ten-thirty ?”
he nodded and i woke up to the thought that i had been job-hunting all day but it was still mid-morning
notes 1
this dream was due to one of the hundreds of repeating memories of awake-time experiences which assert themselves every now and then for no particular reason i can put my finger on
the awake-time experience this dream was based on an occassion when, as a teenager living in london, i was so desperate for money/work i went methodically from retail shop to retail shop in a street of retail shops trying to, and eventually, getting a job by by referring to a prestigious clothes shop that i used to work for
there’s also a funny aside to this awake-time experience which will get a mention if there is another dream which has the same theme as this one

the name of the dream
the creative camera-man, agricultural innovation and nonsense banter
the first scene, a slow zoom-out sequence which lasted about three or four seconds of dream-time
the opening shot showed a length of rail-track which went about two-hundred metres into the distance
as the field of view gradually pulled back to within ten metres of where the camera was the scene revealed first, the legs, then the legs and buttocks and then finally the legs, buttocks and the head and hair of a smiling woman in a skin-tight leotard leaning over with her face upside down smiling into the camera
the camera-man was attempting to be artistically creative as well as suggestively provocative
the second scene, another observer scene which showed eight to ten furrows in the ground
was unable to determine the width of the furrows but they went off into the horizon
the furrows were being hewn out of the ground by an unseen bit of technology from overhead that was causing the soil to become dry and was making little dust-devils
the statement… “the phelps award for the most significant contribution to food production in history” accompanied the scene
the third scene, there was an air of expansive good-naturedness in what looked like a thirty or forty-seater cafe with a group of four, five or six males sitting near the entrance-door and i was at the far end of the cafe about five metres away
the males had or were trying to “rib” me
good-naturedly, i hit back with something along the lines of “a deflated football would be able to challenge your intelligence”
one of the lads gave out with a flabbergasted laugh and came back with something like “how can a person make sense of that”
there were teeth smiles all round

the name of the dream
tea and toast
there were three or four scenes in this dream
it had been decided that the toast that had just been made from a newly-opened loaf of bread was too thick and too brown, certainly not worthy of a connoisseur of toast
perfection was achieved in the last scene of the dream
it was a slice of thin white bread that was still a little soft and white at the edges, lightly-buttered with a hint of salt in the butter, a light-brown centre and as hot as the piping hot tea that accompanied and complimented it

the food organiser and tripod vehicles
the location looks like it is the mess of an army barracks able to cater for more than a thousand people
it is an all-male institution, possibly a military base
it is time for a between-meals meal of cheese on toast
the food on the eight or so plates already prepared and ready for eating looks like small pancakes
the first of the diners are starting to trickle in and have put a plate of the food on their tray and are sliding the tray along a counter to where the drinks are
the chief caterer is wide-eyed with apprehension
he isn’t going to have enough food ready when the flow of men is at its peak
i have a bread-cutting knife in my hand and start cutting the bread into slices at a rate of about one every two seconds
i say something along the lines of “keep the bread coming!”
the chief caterer sees it will be possible to have cheese on bread ready for everyone and is looking at me admiringly as the dream ends
second dream
this dream is of vehicles in a mountainous area
most of the vehicles are regular-looking vehicles which have the driving and seating arrangements of a typical car
there are two or more of another type of vehicle which is mounted on a silver metal tripod and has wheels that look too small
the tripod supports are about three metres tall
both types of vehicles are jet-propelled
there is concern that if the vehicle ahead of us accelerates the exhaust from the jet engine will reach us

practising what you preach
living in a bedsit and was in bed waiting for my girlfriend to arrive
in the next scene, in bed with a girl but it wasn’t the girl i was expecting
the girl and i were chatting and getting to know about each other
we were kissing intermittently and talking about our respective regular partners
at one point while kissing and chatting she asked why i was here with her and i said the most absurd thing… “if i wasn’t here with you i’d be rock climbing”
she thought it was funny and it changed her mood
i decided it was time to introduce some serious pleasure into the proceedings and began to practice what i advocate… pleasure without conjoinment
it was obvious she hadn’t experienced as much pleasure before
she was gyrating and thrashing about so much i couldn’t keep in contact with her
i stopped and waited for her to become relaxed again
when ws still i rolled back over onto my left side and felt for her only to find i had finished dreaming and was alone in bed feeling an empty space

the name of the dreams
a sensuous stomach, the little girl and the stretch and sway
a few of us had seen the possibilities of converting an underground bunker into a dance club and tonight was opening night
as the club was underground it meant the sound of the music wouldn’t reach the street and it could go on all night
in the first scene, i was there first and was testing the room for acoustics and resonance and was adjusting the treble, middle and bass frequencies while dancing to a compilation of my favourite dance tracks
in the second scene, there are about five of us
for some inexplicable reason, i only had a bath towel as clothing
the towel went from my waist to my shins; it didn’t stop me from enjoying dancing though and i tried some new dance moves
in the next scene, there were about a dozen people in the club and an atmosphere was becoming noticeable
in the next scene, a young girl walked in with a three-year-old toddler
i caught the toddlers attention as she passed by when i pointed at her and said “hey, she looks funny”
the tiny-tot responded straight away with a teeth-smile and a started laughing
i kept her laughing for a prolonged period with a few more quips before the scene ended
in the next scene, i was with an awake-time girlfriend of thirty-plus years ago
she had fallen asleep while sitting on my lap on a settee and was lying flat on her back along the sofa
i had the urge to feel her stomach, so pulled up her blouse or cardigan and rested the palms of both of my hands on her mid-section
as her soft stomach moved up, the frailty of her body became apparent and when she breathed out my palms sunk into her body and it produced a really sumptuous feeling (the stand-out part of the dream)
she woke up with a start, thought about what was happening, and relaxed again as she realised it was just me at it again enjoying touching a female
notes 1
the new dance moves were from the pde’s of two days before when, while doing stretching exercises, it occurred to me that some of the movements of the exercises could be incorporated into a dancing routine (the stretch and sway)

the name of the dream
too sensitive
it was the first time in bed with a new relationship
the lady was a little apprehensive but willing to experience what was an important aspect of her life
we became conjoined relatively quickly and within a second or two of dream-time the young lady was telling me to stop, which i did
think the scene changed, then again, almost immediately after conjoining, she told me in a frantic voice to stop
it happened again on the third time we conjoined
her jerky, involuntary movements and panicky voice told me what the problem was
she was new to xual activity and her nerve endings were being stimulated for the first time
the intensity of the feelings being sent to her brain was overwhelming her
notes 1
this dream can be incorporated into the art of pleasure LINK TO PLEASURE DREAM
we can undertake an appraisal of the “life-length” of the pleasure receptor cells in all areas of the body and act accordingly
maintaining the sensitivity of the pleasure cells is undoubtedly achieved by applying the “gentle touch”
the pleasure receptor cells in the lips may well be tied-in to thoughts and sights and the lips could still be developing

the name of the dream
stranded in rural land
there was a group of seven, eight or nine of us in two cars and we were at a roadside cafe stretching our legs and having a drink and a snack before setting off on the final part of the return journey
we might have been coming back off holiday or it could have been a day-out, either way, there was about two-hundred miles of road to go
our group made up the bulk of the people at the cafe
i was the youngest and most sprightly of what was an assemblage of an evenly balanced mix of genders and was regarded as a youngster
a stranger, not sure if it was a female or male, and myself became friends
when it was announced i would make my own way home it generated an air of apprehension among my colleagues and one or two of them pointed out it could be a mistake
ever-ready for something new to happen i disregarded their resrvations and assured them it would be alright
my companions got into the cars and the serious, almost grave, look on their faces as the cars as they pulled out of the car park was the last but one scene of the dream
in the last scene, i discovered the person i had struck up a friendship with lived locally and she or he would be walking back home and, one by one, the options for getting back home by catching a bus or train, or getting a taxi to somewhere with public services were dashed and the dream ended as even the idea of stcking my thumb out and hitching a lift seemed futile

the celebrity dream
it was a blisteringly hot day
just about everyone was wearing a skimpy t-shirt or was bare-chested (alas, no women in the dream)
in the next scene, i was in a bodybuilding gym as big as the ground floor of a department store and it was kitted out with every type of mechanical aide, weight-stand, bench, rack… imaginable
it was much too hot a day for working up a sweat and that was probably the reason why there were so few people (about fifteen) in the place
however, the most dedicated, or is that the vainest, of us, are doing the occasional rep of this, that or the other with maximum weights
arnie, of “i’ll be back” fame was doing squats, he looked absolutely enormous (one of the two stand-out visual scenes of the dream)
we swapped comments and watched and critiqued as we each done a leisurely rep now and then
the scene changed, i am sitting down in what might be the carriage of a train but the seats are facing each other with the access-aisle for the passengers between the seats
at one point i look across the aisle and see a man sitting on the floor between the legs of a man sitting on the bench-seats
the man sitting on the seat is leaned forward with his head above and apparently resting his head on the head of the man on the floor
at first glance, it looked really freaky, like one body with two heads, one attached or growing on top of the other
i saw the opportunity for a fun photo
for the photo, i imagined getting behind the man sitting on the seat and resting my head on his head in the same way his head was resting on the man sitting on the floor
a picture of what it would like popped into my head… i had pulled the hair at the sides of my head out sideways and had a broad teeth-smile, the person sitting on the floor had a fun-smile on his face and hid his arms from view, as did the man sitting on the seat
the man sitting on the seat was wearing an off-white mac and his clothing was dishevelled, it was columbo, again (22122018)
it would be a great fun-photo
via the magic of dream-time, a sophisticated, multi-functional camera (the aperture dial and film-speed and the other features on the top of the camera was an equal stand-out visual of the dream ) was resting in my hands
asked a passer-by to take the photo and the dream ended as i was trying to explain, without success, to the passer-by about the settings of the camera

the website
had been developing my website for some while but was still discovering and experimenting
in one scene, i left lots of blank lines between the top half of the text and where the text began again
the blank spaces were big enough to contain two or more pages of text
in the next or another scene, i was reading an email from the providers (wordpress) of the website
their programmers had discovered a new and significant way of utilising a page with large gaps or spaces between the text with new features and had got the idea as a direct result of coming across my website with the large gaps between passages of text
they were so pleased with what possibilities had opened up the letter told me i could have any and every feature that was or would be available for their products and i could have as many pages and .com names as i wanted for free, for life

the modern vintage bike
was surfing the net when i came across a bicycle made from modern materials but had a vintage look to it and it captured my imagination
the bike had a basket on the front and a basket on the back
the triangular frame had a light metal alloy green plate which filled the gap between the tubes of the frame
the pedals were thick and the bike itself looked “chunky” although the weight of the bike was the same as the bike i have in awake-time (one of those bikes you can lift with your little finger)
the person selling the bike was asking one-thousand pounds but was prepared to take my bike in exchange for the one being sold
the end of the dream was me in a state of dejection as i realised that swapping my bike for the advertised one was a monumental blunder
the bike i now owned didn’t have any gears (the bike i had to start with had twenty-seven gears) which effectively made it “unfit for purpose”
to get the performance of my original bike from this new vintage-look bike would mean having to spend more than the value of both the bikes combined
the longer the last scene of the dream lasted, the more depressed i became
it was a relief to wake up and find i’d had been having a bad dream

wasted fried fish
arrived at the bus station with half an hour to spare
was feeling peckish and with more than enough time to eat a meal it follows that the second scene would be of me in a cafeteria
was sitting on a bar-stool style seat with my elbows resting on a narrow shelf about a third of a metre deep waiting for someone to come and take my order
in the next scene, i am giving the waitress my order of fish and chips
the waitress was writing the order when a man sitting near to me said, “you can have this fish.”
i looked to where the man was sitting and could see the fish on his plate
it was a shade of amber and crisp and fresh (the stand-out visual part of the dream)
i was about to ask the waitress to strike the fish off my order when another voice behind me said: “you can have mine as well.”
his plate too had a tasty-looking fish on it, only not as big as the first one
i was about to have a banquet for a few coppers
the waitress admonished the two men in a friendly manner and said something along the lines of “we don’t allow that.” and went out of the scene with her pen and notebook

first dream
the name of the dream
unappreciative
it’s not just the brick walls that stop a person dead in their tracks when walking while in prison; in prison, brick walls come in many varieties
those of us who find “a pleasure shared is a pleasure doubled” will be able to identify with the sentiment when it comes to having a “toke”
sharing your weed in the nick is something of a status activity
it says to others that the “system” hasn’t completely got the better of you and it also allows you to demonstrate your generous nature
the two lads who were enjoying the benefits of being “high” weren’t my best friends in prison but, as mentioned, a pleasure shared…
the “session” had been going on for an hour or two and, eventually, we had smoked all of the blow
the two lads asked if i had, or could get, any more
when i said “no” they got up, and without a “thanks” or “goodbye”, left me
at that moment the “feel-good” factor from the hash vanished and a sense of betrayal took its place
it felt as though i’d just come up against a brick wall
notes 1
in recent days i had spoken to someone who was aware of the situation we all find ourselves in and had chosen to live in, and for, the moment
the attitude the person had toward me was reflected in his parting comment
it has played on my mind for the last few days and is the cause of this dream
