Coz all none of you asked, I thought I'd post two nights dreams that I missed out (now I have my notes in front of me)

28th Nov

Jumped on a lifeboat , it was full of lassies mainly. There was no sense of urgency though I was happy to be there. I think it then turned into a train or something stupid like that.

29th Nov

Looked at my eyes in the mirror, they were a very fetching purple colour (lucidity where are you???)

Walked down a path with my son towards a beach.

Went birding with one of my pals. We sat at the banks of a loch. An Osprey landed very close to us (3 or four feet) It was immaculate and had a tag around its neck. My pal read something from the tag but I forget.

Looking at a book with my father denoting the differences between American and Eurasian Bison.

In my sitting room. I put a DVD of 'Carry on Matron' on. I mind seeing Terry Scott with the tiniest head possible, and also a profile of Barbara Windsor looking far too attractive.

At my shop. A lassie came in saying she wanted to add something to her CV as she had been working for a wee while. My employee knew the lassie and thought she was awfy funny. I asked if she was the same age and she got annoyed 'NO- She's four years older - FOUR!!!'
I went to open the shop, and my employee was fiddling about with two tiny wee chairs.

There - that was well worth it!!

As I hoped, I had a great dream - as vivid as it gets (for me) and the only thing missing was the lucidity! I woke up a bit sad that it was over, and I missed my chance!

I was on some form of public transport with my employees. A new lassie had just started work apparently. I didn't get her name so we'll call her 'Rose'. She looked to be in her early twenties, maybe 5ft tall, very slim. She was sitting next to me and said ;
'You dinny want tae ken what the others say about ye...'
'Go on then' I said
'Well.... where is Seaton?'
'Near to Dundee' I said.
'Never heard of it'
'Next to the railway'
'Ah well, there'll be plenty of people there anyway'
I've not a clue what that all meant! Anyway, I stood up and looked out a window. We were passing a river and there was loads of Wildfowl. I called rose over and pointed out a Canada Goose amongst other species.
We ended up walking along a beach, there were various people fishing and they were catching strange bright orange beasties. I helped one guy get the hook out of its mouth and let it go.
Bit of a gap, but a lassie I ken from school (who is now a newsreader in real life) appeared (by sliding herself under something) I was happy to see her and said to Rose 'You'll ken her sister shes three years younger than you' I then said some things which I forget now, apart from the fact that they were meant to be witty, but neither of them were impressed.
A gap, and I was alone in a hotel room. I suddenly remembered that I had to meet another lassie on Wednesday for a secret assignation and I really couldn't be bothered. I didn't have her phone number and decided to contact her via facebook sometime. I the looked in the mirror.
Jings - my face was completely blue! - I looked again and my head had swollen to about four times its size. I remember my features however were probabaly even smaller than usual. Rather than being scared (or getting lucid - bah!!!) I was mildly concerned that my new friend Rose wouldn't like me anymore.
I noticed I was wearing a grey beanie , whipped it off my head and I got back to normal.
I then went looking for Rose. I walked into her room and her parents were there, along with an Indian lady and her daughter. They were busy in conversation so I left.
I was followed out by Rose's dad (who was tall, slim, short black hair, dressed in a black suit and was over the top handsome) He smacked me one across the face. I pushed him , he fell over and I decided (as is my wont in my deams apparently) to attempt to eat his face...
Bit of a gap. Rose was there with the two Indian people she said-
'These are my cousins - I know they look like they're from China....'
Which confused me somewhat.
Gap again- nut Rose was sitting there and I told her I tried to eat her dad - she started crying like a baby. Her dad was there, he said I was so useless I wouldn't even be able to make a meal for him. I pointed in his direction and said, VERY dramatically
'Aye, I will!! ....... Liver, onions, chips.........AND PEAS!!!' I shouted, no doubt for effect.
He said there was no point in talking about it as t would never happen
'I ken, its just a load of blethers' said I.
We then talked for a wee while about the rising costs of meat - I kid ye not.
Then I woke up!

2) I was dreaming that I better rewrite my last dream journal entry as I missed out on a lot of the wee details.

3) Walked into my Uncles shop. There was a strange device like a megaphone attached to the wall. My Uncle and his wife were there, they shook there heads. Up the back of the shop was wife. Sje was surrounded by dozens of shoes.

4) I was reading a wee book about kilts with one of my employees. It was called 'Your're going to wear a kilt' It was yellow with a 79p price sticker on the front. There were a bunch of guys nearby and one of them said I looked about 60.

Pleased with my dreams this time. I reckon I'll have a lucid very soon!!

Jings, whaur have I been??

anyway, I always write my dreams up at my shop, and alas I have left my notes there so i'll do a 'catch up' report soon coz I ken yer all dying tae hear it

I can mind perfectly well the last two nights - coz they were hopeless!!

sat night - non lucid

1) Something aboot being told my cousin was in trouble, as I was being told I was looking at a map on the wall for some reason.

2)Walking up a hill, it started off being quite open then became forest, I was on a big wide path, then followed a couple of others onto a wee path to the left which didn't seem to go anywhere in particular.

sun night - non lucid

!) Sitting with my faither discussing profits for the business - very dull but quite accurate (which is why iwont go into detail!)

2) Hearing that Scotland was about to be invaded and thinking that they better go and put some army types onto Rockall, dinny ken why....

better the night I hope!

A much better nights dreaming - all non lucid, but I was starting to think I was broken or something!

Lots of shop dreams (yawn) I'm thinking they were most likely the one big dream so here goes

1) -A lassie I know IRL came in looking for a kilt she had ordered for herself apparently she booked it under the name 'Hays' (which isn't her name) I checked my order book, there was a Hays there, but it wasn't hers. I think other people came into the shop at this time and it was getting hectic.
I went up the back and said to my (female employee IRL) that I would need to measure her up again. My employee was wearing a white T shirt with a design of sorts on it. I wrapped the tape around her and was aware that she took a deep breath and pulled her belly in a bit! Anyway she had a 28 waist and a 24 drop. What am I like!
A man came in for boxer shorts. He wanted a good look at them. they were inside a green then a white carrier bag. He seemed happy. They cost £3.99 (as IRL) , he handed over 4 pound coins and also a few pennies (which I handed back) and also a tiny copper foreign coin (which I kept) I struggled to ring up his purchase as although the register was in front of me there was something blocking the drawer. the man also mentioned my Uncle, not sure in what context.

2) There was a sort of cellar place where I had been told lived a bunch of tiny wee people. Its all a bit vague now, but I went in and there was a tiny wee man, maybe six inches high. He was dressed like a hairy highlander. I was quite taken with him and wondered to myself why no one had noticed these wee guys before. He then died or crumbled away to nothing or something and I remember being a bit upset about the whole affair.

3) I looked out my bedroom window. The neighbour who I like was dressed in Tennis whites with shorts and ankle socks. She was speaking to my other neighbours (who I don't get on with). This annoyed me a bit so I went outside. Don't remember much else but there were a few bairns running about.

4) I was in the front passanger seat of a car. Not sure who was driving. We were going very slowly through a huge coniferous woodland - I think I was 'casually' birdwatching. I spied a hell of a creature climbing a wall or tree and we stopped and got out. It was half human and half some horrible monster thing. It had a scabby pink flowerly dress on and its face was really quite scary - all witchy and nasty. I remember thinking it looked vaguely like a Hagraven from 'Skyrim'. It jumped off the tree/wall and lay on the ground and I think it transformed itself into something a bit less awful. I had my camera that I always take birding with me and took dozens of photos. I kept looking at its face on the camera display to see if anything odd happened.

5) I was getting books at the library. I had to produce my libarary card out my wallet and was having a bit of trouble doing so.

no' much

sitting on the floor in my kitchen. My son sitting to my right, a man I never looked at standing to my left. I had a Lego game or something. I poured it onto the floor, there was a bunch of white bricks in a pile to my left. The man said 'You'd be better to bag those ones up just now' I said it was OK. I then turned to some more lego meaning to build something, and was slightly confuse that there was already a black Lego boat sitting there...

Two TV dreams

Watching a man swimming under water to a door

A narrator saying 'And then the viewers got a surprise', there was a black and white still of a lassie wearing unusual clothes.

Done.

I'm no' sure whats wrong with my recall...

I fragment.

Behind my counter at the shop. One of my employees came in. She was wearing a rather fetching grey tweed coat. She said 'Hello, its me' and stood and stared at me with a half smile.

that's it!

The last few nights have been a struggle, no sure why, anyway, I managed to dredge up a few bits & bobs

All non lucid

1) Looking out of my shops fire door. I had just got a tradesman to repair the guttering on the building opposite. (which has nothing to do with me IRL , but never mind) I noticed the down pipes hadn't been replaced but I decided to let someone else fix them.

2) Seeing an odd looking bird high up a tree, I couldn't suss out what it was, but then I saw it in profile and realise dto was just a Buzzard.

3) I had just bought a new suit. I pulled on the trousers, they were an inch or so too long. The button on the trousers was a sort of stud thing that stuck out an inch or so. I struggled to get it fastened. For some reason there were two openings on the front of the trousers. I then ended up with a tie clip in my hand, I think I ended up clipping it to the collar of my shirt for a moment, until I realised that was stupid. The trousers were a bit big on the waist. I then looked for a tie to go with my suit. I remember checking the colour of my suit (like I wouldn't know) and it was navy. I had a huge box of self coloured wool ties in front of me (I have no wool ties iRL), some of them were very brightly coloured and quite attractive, however, I don't think I found a suitable match.

4) Reading a book about Birding in Scotland, the details of which I wont bore you with coz it was very mundane, and actually made sense on the whole!

Nothing remembered on Friday night.

Just scraps on Saturday....

1) Telling someone that I don't drink anymore.

2) My son hitting a drumstick off his mums stomach.

3) The end of a dream where I was looking at pictures in a magazine. Hard to put into words but one of them was a mouse in a playroom and the caption said 'He lived eighteen months and never saw another face'

4) Noticing a lad with a tattoo, and saying 'My God, I thought you were in an accident?' He said 'Nah, not me, it was (somebody) Dalton who had died' I then had a flashback to a young lad lying on the road with a sad face.

5) My wife standing in front of me wearing an odd assortment of clothes.

6) In my shop (again) Looking up at where the ladies boots are kept. There was a big pile in the corner of about 20 pair. there were all a size '20' which suggest my brain got confused a bit there...

Poor night, just the one non lucid fragment

Sitting on my sons bed, sorting out his jammies. I looked to where his jammy case was and there was a pair in it already. I was unsure how to proceed....

Jings!

Some non lucid bits and pieces this time.

My wife wondering why our goldfish looked dead - no answer to that!

A man coming into the shop to exchange a pair of brogues, he picked up a stupid looking slip on pair which I don't stock IRL, so why didn't I RC? - bah!

One of my staff 'coming out' and I never reacted at all.

In a motorway service area. A pleasant wee old Asian man was selling knitwear and t shirts. I asked him if this was the entire winter collection, he said yes and then said he'd be only to glad to help a Doig.

That's my lot!

Coz I wasnae feeling very well, I forgot I was supposed to attend an SNP meeting on Tuesday evening - luckily my mind provided a dream of the event... (Non lucid)

Walking back from the leisure centre I my home town. There was a lad next to me dressed in black. He asked if I was going to the SNP meet now. I said I couldn't really be bothered, but I may as well go and send my apologies. I noticed a clock on a wall. Then I was there, we started off in a big room where we were separated into two groups, I just missed out on being in the first group and everyone felt very smug for being first. As we were about to head through into another room, a lassie I fell out with IRL gave me a look of death. I said 'That's it, I'm going home' and I headed toward a billowing curtain to my left. One of the organisers called out 'Don't go, we don't need this kind of publicity' I said loudly and angrily that I never wanted to be in the first group. (even though I hadn't been) The organisers (all young lassies) denied that I had been , nad eventually we walked up the stairs to a bar. Two of my friends were there. One was dressed in a kilt and was very drunk. He asked if I wanted to go out for a fag, I said I would but he'd need to loan me one. We walked through a tunnel made of plastic, I was blethering a bit and pretending to be drunk. We reached the outside and it was the banks of the local loch. I lost one of my friends, and headed to some marshy ground. I noticed I had boots on and they were caked in mud. There was a woman with a couple of dogs. Then I saw a wee lad with a metal detector and across a channel another of my friends had one too. He found something, a long thin thing. Him and the wee lad wanted to investigate their discoveries and I found myself sitting in a sort of milkshake bar kind of place. I was sitting on a bench with two or three completely different friends again. We noticed the two items had writing written on silver bases. The first one had my friends name on it, and it turned out it was a few notes from a game he played in the past. To my left were the wee people. I turned to them and said 'Why don't you go and play with your Tamagotchi's?' They said they were finished. I said 'What - theyre extinct?'

2 - In my shop as usual. One of my staff had just come in, and there was also a rather fierce looking woman with short white hair. Turned out she had worked in place of my staff on my day off and I was ready to sack her for that.

Still recovering from my bug so I had a very early night..

3 Dreams , all non lucid, but the first two were extremely vivid and packed with detail....

1) In a van. My Granddad was driving. I was observing the landscape. There was a big hill covered in uniform looking grey rocks. There was a wall around the hill. As we got closer it was obvious that the hill had recently been cleared of trees. We then started driving through a huge forest (at least by Scottish standards!) It was mainly Scots Pine. I remarked 'This is a very pretty road.' My Granddad took a while to reply and I wondered if he had heard, but then he said, slightly grumpy 'There are a lot of nice walks around here.' We then drove into a large square area of waste ground. There was a structure to the right with an electronic device attached to the wall. The place looked very familiar (I'm not sure if its from real life or another dream) . I found myself standing beside the building with a friend and his daughter. There were two r three scruffy children running about, they annoyed me somehow. My friend exited right and I looked at a structure to my left. There was a big screw in a pole which I pulled out and went back to my friend to show him.

2) A couple I barely know IRL came into the shop and ended up leaving with four big bags of kilt related goodies. He left and his wife tried to pay. The total was £835, but I said Id do it for £800. It took about six tries using the credit card machine, I either kept entering the wrong total or pressing the wrong buttons. I got it right eventually and she decided to go for a drive with me. We ended up under a bridge next to a wee pond. There was a crystal clear burn beside us and I remember looking into it trying to spot fish, but there wasn't any. To my right was a black rubbish bag, it was slightly open and was full of clothes. I looked at the top item, it was a white t-shirt with 'World best Mum' written on it and a rainbow printed above it - what a bizarre detail! We then started walking on weeds in the middle of the pond, we never got wet or sanl which should have been a giveaway !! Two people appeared to our left, they were looking for frogs.

3) I pulled up in my car to find that my neighbour had built a small wall in front of an existing wall. It was about two foot high and had a purple feature inserted into it. I then saw one of my neighbours at her front door. She had changed her hairstyle into a tight perm and had tinted it yello for some reason...

I had a bug or something on Saturday night/ all sunday - so heres an interesting catchup

Non lucid

In my dream I couldn't sleep - which is a new one for me! I took a seat in a communal sitting area in our 'house' (Cant be much of a house if it has a communal sitting area!) A man entered the room, he was late middle aged, a bit weedy and wore glasses. He said Hello, said he knew me as he'd spoken to my neighbours and sat down. We talked for a while about Spain. ..... Gap..... One of my friends IRL was in the room as well. He was asking how my business was going. I was having a wee moan to him, but was distracted by my wife blethering on out of view (things happening out of my vision is also new for me in dreams) she appeared and stood beside us. The doorbell went. Because it was late we were a bit worried. I asked my friend if he would come with us, he said 'Yes' - but didn't! Me and my wife went to the front door. A metal stepladder was in the way, and I had a job moving it. I opened the door and a very large oldish man with white hair was there trying to sell me something. I called him an 'arse' and he burst through the door and hit me across my back. I stumbled a bit and called him a 'C***' He said 'Did you just call me a c***???' he then smacked me across the face. It all went bizarre. I grabbed his hands in turn, snapped all his fingers and ate his hands... I don't recall how he reacted - if at all! I went and found the first man, he was hiding behind a chair. I vomited the contents of my 'meal' in front of him- it looked like mashed fruit. I got very little reaction from him. The big scary man was in another room I couldn't see him abut I heard him talking to my friend 'You're not exactly blameless in all this' he said 'I suppose not' my friend said.

I woke up, feeling VERY sick, and it took my a while to fall asleep.

The only other dream I recall is a fragment where I was talking to a friend and the more he talked the sicker I felt, and I was getting really angry with him...

Non lucid dull stuff...

Climbing u a heather covered wee hill with a couple of others, I was worried about ticks. I reached the top and there was a gravel track at the top.

The recycling box at the shop was completely full after a few hours, I was cheesed off and wondering how that could have happened.

Serving a lady at my shop, my wee boy was beside me. She was buying a shirt, I asked her if she needed a bag for 5p as per new Scottish regulations , she said she had her own, it was one of our green ones and had a sticky label on it. I bagged the shirt up , there was a pound coin under the bag. - This dream qualifies as the most boring and real life typical dream I have ever had!

Standing outside with my barber. I was eating half a roll. My barbers car was a big black thing and was parked beside us. Two old woman got into his car. My barber peered through the drivers window and said 'Will you be ok to wait a wee while - I'm fell hungry.' The ladies replied 'But we're freezing, can we stay in here?'

wow

Jings! - I dreamt a whole night of rubbish!!! all non lucid..

1) Watching a Scottish sketch show - think it was meant to be 'Naked Video'. They had a guest star - a young Elton John! - It looked nothing like Elton John, he was also Scottish, and had a weird pork pie white hat jammed on his head. As I recall, he didn't sing but said a wee rhyme. There was a sketch set on an aeroplane which was amusing at the time, but its gone now.

2) On a train, there was an announcement that a female celebrity had just died, I had never heard of her. I said to someone that I listened to Radio 4 that morning and she wasn't mentioned.

3) Lighting up a fag in my car, then remembering that I wasn't smoking in my new car! (which is true IRL) I wound the window right down and hoped the car wouldnae stink.

4) Looking through a box of complete crap somewhere. There was a woman behind me.
She said 'Most of the people died, apart from a few who found shelter.'
I said nothing a picked up a wee round piece of crap covered in blue cellophane - it had a wee screw through the middle
She said 'See? - that man died because someone put a screw through the middle'
I threw the piece of junk back in the box....

5) In a supermarket or something. I was supposed to package up various items and present them to people. I found a black cotton jacket, there were two items in it, some rubbishy thing and also a set of keys with a snapped key ring. For some reason I remembered who it belonged to and ran down the aisle to meet them. there were about four people standing about and I handed the keys to the man, I don't think they said anything. I went back to where I started thinking that I maybe wasn't supposed to have done that. I then stood looking at a load of shelves filled with fruit and tried to remember what I was supposed to do.....
