I'm joining our ancestors and going back to "two sleeps" BBC News - The myth of the eight-hour sleep
I set my alarm for 04.00 AM and rose last night. I think I possibly missed 2 dreams last night...my obedient brain woke me and I lay in a stupor and didn't search. Wake up! No...sorry...wake up enough to get the dream please...
3.30 AM dream (so 4.00 am alarm probably a good halfway-point) I was with a dentist, who had apparently accompanied me home to get something (teeth????) When we went back out I'd forgotten to pick (whatever) up but he had remembered and had it with him. You all think you're great with your flying etc, but nothing beats the thrill of your dentist going to your house to collect....(something)
6.15 AM At an earlier house we had. People coming round canvassing and our front path full of pots of white flowers and some sort of cards pinned to our front door. I went out - I had red hair (was it a 3rd person dream?) and half-way down the road I discovered I was wearing fashionable ladies shoes (I'm not gay or tranny and I'm 6' 5" and have size 13 feet)
So there you have it...a friendly dentist and me camping it up. However, I discovered it's my mother's birthday on Monday (I only remember the wife's - I swear to you) I doubt the supernatural aspect of the flowers etc...I personally think that my memory-banks may be a trifle blocked but the data is still in there and accessible to Ed my brain (in his own unconscious over-the-top way)
"Aw...how sweet...he remembered!"...it's a good job someone did. Although the wife did of course, when I woke up and told her (where would we be without them?) PS I can sometimes tell the wife about dreams now, without the facial-shutters going down
Still creeping forward...I think
Afterthought. In dream 2 - As I dollied down the street in my girlie-shoes I passed a babe..she was sexy and she was "Showing out" as we Brits say. Surely that's not Ed my brain responding to my grateful comments about the sexual favour on my last Dream Journal post? No! Surely not! I'll know if that ever becomes a regular dream sign (and it wouldn't have taken much "conditioning" to fix itself in my dreams would it?)
