non-lucid

Loads of little fragments today that don't really make sense:

1) Lying in a field, it's warm and mossy.

2) I walked into a room a cat jumped out of the window. I called the cat back and it came to me, it was a grey cat (I keep dreaming about a grey cat).

3) I was walking across a road and went into a building. It was something to do with school. There were lots of parents sat around and I couldn't see any children, everyone looked really quiet and gloomy. I think it was the start of a school disco or something and parents had to come along.

4) I remember watching a film explaining how Stowmarket was the nearest town to a large glacier, the film showed computer generated images of the glacire with Stowmarket perched at one edge of it. Someone was explaing how they used to arrive at the town by train and it was so romantic but now it was routine.

5) Walking into a hospital with someone else who was in a black hoodie he seemed quite serious, the hospital was being rebuilt. The person I was with wanted to find the plastic surgery room, we walked past a door and I knew that was it but he ignored me and walked on and spoke to a builder who showed him a tap labelled 'delivery suite tap', it was tiny and red.

Busy day, no time to write on here this morning, trying to remember dreasm from scribbled notes:

1) In London. a job interview on a bed.

2) Back to being a junior doctor, I'm on call, but in my own house. I'm stood at the top of the stairs talking to a senior doctor and worried about what we are going to eat later. I'm saying I'm starving even though I'm not really hungry. Then I remember going outside and hanging a red coat up, it's raining.

Quick jot, add detail later:

1) Watching someone in bed.

2) Visiting someone with family. I was BORED.

3) Walked over the street to look at a special SatNav system I had to have for some reason. Noticed I was weraing a dressing gown as I crossed the road. In the shop I was told the system was illegal to use in this country.

4) Drugs at school.

Almost the worst recall ever.

Something about my wife driving someone around...

Slept through last night without any wakings, so poor recall.

1) Went into a bedroom, I had to go through another bedroom to get to it. I knew it was going to be scary, for some reason, but wanted to experience the fright and get over it. I walked in and felt very frightened then looked around and changed the feeling into a nice feeling and all the fear went away and the room felt pleasant. then I walked out.

2) Stood by an animal enclosure. I saw a cat chasing a baby rat. The rat was in the cat's mouth so I picked up the cat which I noticed was an odd brown/grey colour so it wasn't one of mine, and coaxed to to let go of the rat and give it to me.

3) Fragment: serving up some food to a friend's husband, he wanted seconds so I served up some more, it was square chunks of odd looking but he said he wanted lots.

1) The dream starts off in white. I'm walking through a town that has been bombed in the past. Some of the buildings are in ruins. The street has been re-layed around all the old rubble and metalwork which juts out awkwardly. Then I'm in a modern shopping centre, and inside a dark restaurant. There's a man sitting at a table, I'm in a spy film of some sort, I show something to him. Then I spot a lady that is involved with the spy film in the distance through a window, I let my accomplice know and she watches her. I go out of the other door and decide that I should fly over to the woman.
I'm flying high in the wide open space of a shopping mall. I see a girl drinking something sitting in a corner and fly down towards her, someone says "he must like you!", and I realise it's not the woman I was looking for and veer off to the left and up again. I was doing aerobatics swooping high up in the air then down again quite enjoying it.
Suddenly the dream changed. I was in a car driving along a cold dark busy road. I could feel snow landing on my face. I looked around to find where it was coming from but couldn't see anything open so just accepted it, I felt freezing cold.
Then I was walking through a tube station, someone asked me to put money in a collecting bucket. I saw someone collapse out of a lift door, everyone ignored him so I went over to help. He was having a fit. I held him to protect his head as he fitted, I looked at my watch, he had been fitting for 6 minutes, so I thought give it another few minutes before needing to call an ambulance. He was coming around and pointed to his arm which was at a funny angle, so I straightened it for him. There was a group of medical students coming over I hoped they weren't going to start taking over. A man came over to me and asked if this was my bag, I looked in and saw it was my wife's, she was there and I told her that mine had been stolen whilst I was helping the man and all my money, credit cards and phone had been stolen.

2) Doing the walk I used to do between my flat and medical school in London. At the first set of traffic lights I start turning left then remember that I have to go straight ahead. It's dark and I find myself on the wrong path, looking down I can see the correct path. Then on a downhill path it's all a bit surreal a racing car pulls up beside me but it's stuck on a track and turns at a funny angle and gets stuck, I'm pleased as I walk past it.

1) Walked into reception and started looking through some papers looking for death certificates I commented that I had 3 today but could only find 2, and I had just seen the body of the third. Walked out of the office, a group of young girls was in my way I pushed through them. Outside there was another group of girls and they seemed to be being taught something. I saw one of my cats stood with them and went to give it some attention.

2) A watched a farmer plough a field. He was also planting some seeds. At the edge of the field I saw him cut a branch of a tree back becasue it was in the way.

1) Something to do with work and writing a protocol for cardiology.

2) I'm at university with an old friend. I go out and then I'm at a religious building walking through an outdoor religious meeting of some sort. I walk through to the back and someone goes to get a wafer (I'm not religious but have attended services where wafers have been given out). I'm waiting for mine but it never comes, so I step through further to the back, and find myself a small round white wafer. I see there is a man dressed up like a preist next to me sitting in a chair. He tells me to sit down on the floor. Then we are playing a game. We are rolling apples on the floor and marking where they land with playing cards, the ground is very uneven and the game seems a bit silly but I'm stuck playing it and it's all rather formal so I can't leave. I find a couple of £10 notes in my pack of cards and put them to one side to give bck ot the priest. He spots then and grabs them from me as if I was about to steal them. I make an excuse to leave.

3) At the surgery. I'm wheeling my bike into a room, it's full of bike parts and obviously a room entirely devoted to cycling, a whole wall is full of racks of bike parts. I comment that I am really impressed with it and no other surgery would look after its staff this well. Then I'm with a patient in the room next door. She is sitting in a chair covered in a blanket asking about her investigations. I say I don't know what she has had done and I wil lgo next door to get her notes out, I need to know what has happened for the ward round on Monday. I go next door expecting to find her notes but there are no notes there, I look around and there are videos lined up on one wall, and I think wow what an amazing surgery there are even videos for the staff to borrow!

1) With my parents in their car. I offered to fill up the radiator but my mother wouldn't let me do it unless I had some special water, I offered to do something else (can't remember what) but she wouldn't let me do that either. My dad got back in the car. I wasn't hapy so walked off and left them to it.

2) Somewhere in Scotland. There was an old building sat in the wilderness, someone was doing some building work at the front of it. I looked and saw that it was an old BBC building, a sign said 'Studio One' and there were old posters outside with famous people from the past on them. I heard some singing inside from a very old TV programme.

Again just some fragments:

1) In some sort of car showroom. A car is being raffled a huge queue of people has built up. I need to get in a car to go somewhere and have to wait in the queue. Then I'm in a car being driven with some friends and we are told that we are going to a youth club, we don't want to go there so get out of the car.

2) In a lounge. I'm putting an old vinyl record on and have hooked it up to record it on CD. The record player is very odd with a green sculpture on top of it with snakes.

3) In some sort of canteen I get some food and go to sit down but there is nowhere to sit. I spot a place and ask if I can sit there, the person next to it looks a bit irritated but says yes I pull the chair out and there are some flowers under it which I have to move. Then I'm in a kitchen, someone is in a wheelchair and I try not to ignore them. His wheelchair is very high tech, and he has a strange cap on which has a zip up bag in the back, he puts a coat into it and zips the bag up.

Poor recall (early work day)

1) Watching some new flying machine through a window. It seemed to be failing to gain height. I was telling someone that if I was flying it I would just land and give up but it looked like the pilot was determined and would kill himself. Then the machine crashed and there was a huge explosion.

2) In my grandmothers house. I was cleaning and saying that she was hardly ever there any more - I think I meant that she was always in hospital.

I forgot to take my dream journal to bed last night so forgot most of my dreams before being able to write them down.

1) Sitting in a car in a street, waiting for something. Then walked through a door it was some sort of exhibit of a miltary nature, there was a large picture on the wall, there was someone miltary watching. I stood back to loom at the picture, he was not happy and shouted that I had to do it again properly. I tried again making sure that I marched in, did an about turn and saluted the picture. He still wasn't happy and insisted that I improved my drill. He had me bend my legs and checked the angle then left me squatting there.

2) In Hampstead with an old friend we were looking for a pub for a drink. We walked into a pub, and ordered 2 apple juices. My friend ordered a pancake but he was told they had just run out of batter, the people next to us were just getting theirs. A man walked back in with a small amount of batter in a jug and poured it onto a surface to cook, I looked really closely and it wasn't cooking, he turned in some of the edges but it just went into a mess, I stood even closer and watched.
Then we were in a cave under the pub, I was reading something, someone said look it's the Beatles and there they were walking towards us. Suddenly it became a scene from Help (the Bealtes film) but they were battling some sort of green monsters. Then I was outseide and it was dark and I was worried that we hadn't paid for our drinks, so I went back to the pub but it was shut.

3) I was in an operating theatre. The surgeon was explaining to me how to correct a hypospadias and laughing about it. I was scrubbing up to help and pushed a button to get soap instead a jet of water sprayed out across the operating theatre, I apologised becasue I was sure I had pressed the right button. A nurse said it was OK.

4) In a building next to one of the twin towers. Climbing up the stairs, they were very narrow, I was thinking how would hundred of people get back down these if there was an emergency. I got to the top and could see a twin tower rising above us. The building was swaying in the wind, although there wasn't much wind. It was moving hundreds of metres at a time backwards and forwards which I was told was normal.

A real mish-mash of dreams last night.

1) Walking down a wide open road which I had to cross. Quite a vivid dream, I was looking back up the road waiting for a chance to cross, I waited for a motorbike to come past, then crossed to the midle of the road before a large lorry came past. I was on the other side and I think I was with my daughter. We entered an office and talked about looking something up on a very old computer system but decided against because we were trespassing and left, I closed the door behind me (good detail). Carried on walking and past a restaurant, it was the Paul Daniels restaurant (?!), looked at the menu only two things were on it both pasta. At the counter we could see that the food was sitting in a chiller and it was being put in the microwave to be served. We said it was a bit odd but looked nice and we might come back for lunch.

2) Walking along peeling an orange with my family. There was some sort of ride ahead with lots of water, not really a fun ride it seemed to have some purpose. I watched some people on it.

3) In a house with Derick Trotter. He has to go and visit another daughter of his, his wife seemed quite happy about it. Not sure how I fitted into the family. Then someone came to visit him, I beckened him across throught the window, Del told me to let him in. The doorway was more of just a window with a latch on it he climbed in through it.

4) I think I was flying and became semi-lucid but had absolutely no idea what to do and tried to fly towards something - very low level lucidity. I woke up into another dream:

5) In a bed in a bed showroom, pulled the covers up. The bed was very comfortable and I fell asleep in it again.

6) Fragment. I was going somewhere leaving a large playing field. I heard a scream over on the other side and rushed across to help. Nothing was really happening. A boy was making a lot of noise but he semed fine and I ignored him.

7) Taking the children to school. A muddled dream. I looked at the queue for one school but then realised it was too early, and my other daughter is going to a new school so wouldn't be there. Then I was driving. there was a very small gap to get through with cars parked on either side. Someone was blocking it up totally and other people were shouting at the car.

1) Riding a bike along a road. I had to hurry because there was a big bike race just about to start along the same route. The bike turned into a motorbike. Can't remember much more.

2) I was doing some work for someone, I felt like I was a school work expereince student. Someone was havign an arguament and showing a large very old fashioned computer disk to someone else and saying that I had to be given a full disk of space in order to use Microsoft Word.

3) A room full of older school children. A teacher walked in and a very complex song was being sung with him in the middle as if he was something very important.

1) Riding a motorbike, the offside mirror wasn't quite right , I kept trying to set it correctly but just couldn't do it. I parked up and walked along the road expecting to see my driveway but I couldn't find it. I walked up and down the road noting other houses and thinking exactly where my house should be but it just wasn't there!
I was talking to a friend and said that I had been messing with timelines (watching too many time travel films recently) and I was frightened that my house was no longer there. I decided to go for a walk into town for some reason. As I walked I got caught up in a demonstration by staff from the hospital.

2) I was with a friend in an old building at night. She asked if I ever saw anything unusual overnight, then it was a bit like 'Night in a Museum' and we saw someone from the American Civil Revolution standing at the next door and spoke to him.

3) I was having my Level 2 Reiki home study marked. I was told that I had done it all wrong and mis-understood what I was supposed to do. I read throught the marking sheet and I got no points for anything except giving up smoking (I don't smoke), and zero was written in the front of the report. I was very upset.
