OOOh, a KNIGHTMARE this time - Jings all michty! (its all got a bit confused noo, fir shame)

Harry (my IRL now deceased furry ginger cat) was mock eating me and my wife in our bedroom. He then grabbed my wife and she vanished beneath the bed - he'd just eaten her up!

Bits are lost now, but I was hiding out in our sitting room (with someone else) discussing what we should do about Harry the monster. He ended up grabbing me but I wrestled with him and it turned out he was actually a robot of sorts containing a strange rat like being. I'm guessing I put the thing out of his misery. I then looked out the window and the real harry was trying to get in, he was soaking form being outside...

Had another dream where there was a Bandit attack in Montrose, this was told to me by a former employee. I was looking at a map of the town. The incident took place at a venue called the 'Bangkok Club' (hmmm), and I also saw an area of Montrose marked as a 'Quiet zone'

Also a wee fragment of me and my faither standing in a field covered in wee grass covered hills.

Just the one bit of a dream.

I was staring at a wall with a poster on it. the poster was all aboot mountains. Right at the top there was a mountain from Indonesia which it said had only been climbed the once. I looked for Everest and it had been climbed 3110 times. I remarked to my wife (who was behindme) that pople should climb mountains that have hardly ever been climbed.

Further doon the poster was a bit on English 'mountains'. It said Scafell Pike was made safe in 1931. It also listed some other 'peaks' in England some were the dizzy heights of 800 feet!

Just one dream- what a struggle to 'retrieve' it - and aboot my work again - exciting!

Kilt hire again. A couple , both very tall and somewhat portly asking aboot the tartans. I started pointing at the kilts and then stepped over to them. the Kilts were in a mess. I started naming each tartan that I had available. They were in the same place as IRL. Apart from when I reached the grey kilts. I was completely stuck coz there was an unfamiliar plain grey kilt with a strange repeated device over the apron. I didn't know its name and told the man it was 'Grey casual' Those kilts were facing out rather than in. The man was standing silent behind me the whole time.

Confused non lucid bits and bobs.

1) I was reading a two page spread from a paper. There was a photo of Niaomi Campbell (who had bulbous eyes) but the article was about Cindy Crawford . (IRL I have no interest in these people!) Crawford had just become an actress, apparnatley the article compared the weights of '9 stone Campbell & 22.5 stone Crawford' I asked my wife about the film she had been in, I remembered then said 'That was the one where she had a clone at the end?'

2) At some sort of industrial site, lots of metal stairs. Tucked away under one was shop (it was night so it was closed) which was a 'Monster Munch' shop , selling those delicious crisps exclusively. I was standing on one of the stairs, and a woman/creature was running around beneath me shouting that she wouldn't go back..

3) A visit to the Doctors to make an appointment, the woman who dealt with me was short , dumpy and had glasses.

4) Me and a former employee were away to work out the circumference of the earth - using a calculator and a blue glass eye. She looked something uo and said 'Its 365.25' As I was entering it I said 'Of course, the length of the year.'

Not a sausage last night

Unusually, not even the feeling that I had dreams that I cant recall...

Bah!

Lots mair non lucid snippets.

A strange one where I started off involved then became an observer - some stuff aboot sitting with a couple then pushing a wee vial into my (then 'his') neck to extract blood. Some vague vampire stuff.

Some related fragment with the same vampire mannie carrying a couple of deid trout.

Fragment - driving on my way to hae a look at a loch...

Fragment - The inner door in my house (with a yale lock) blew shut , and I was worried I wouldn't get back in.

Fragment - A Goldfinch flying low past me and some others in an open moor/heath. I mind thinking it was quite rare for that location (apparantley)

Noticing some drips in the shop, looking up and the light switch was covered in a black tarry stuff. There was a hole beside the switch and I could see right up and it was fell damp in there I can tell you.

Just bits and pieces again... non lucid ;(

Awfy cute wee fluffy white kittens. I studied them fir a whiley then looked at a brochure where their breed name was displayed. I deliberately said the name to myself a few times to remember. Guess what - I forgot! - The name had lots of O's & P's in it though.

Went to go into my shop, found it already open. It was unusually bright inside and there was a lassie standing just inside who I never took note of.

Panicking when doing my invoices as the prices seemed too high, then I remebred that we get the VAT back.

Looking at my rail of T shirts and thinking - I'd better get some large ones in.

- Jings - I think I need a holiday!!!

Think two nights on the trot attempting WILD knackered me, a pretty sound sleep with one boring snippet;

Man in tracksuit comes into the shop - asks to hire a pair of brogues for himself. I ask what size and he says 3. I stare at his feet thinking that they don't look that small, and am about to head up the back to get a pair when he decides he might buy instead. I clearly mind having my hands on a pair of 3 and a halfs. Then I woke up...

Guid recall last night - non lucid of course , boo hoo

Started off being my wedding, I was walking alone doon a corridor with a tartan plaid over my head and getting tangled in my feet. Felt stupid. My bride appeared from stage right. Thought she wasnae marrying me as she had a woolly cardy on, but looking again it was pulled over her dress. Not familiar with the lassie, but she was a bonny thing and I gave her a hug. She said 'I almost didnae get here..'

Scene transformed into my pals wedding recepition instead. I had the feeling of not really being allowed at the event and there was no sign of the groom. The bride fell over, exposing her naked feet with black cracks in the soles. She then sat in a heap and started greeting. A'body was very quiet apart fae one lad who walked behind me to get a tin of Tennants. One of my best pals was suddenly there and commented on the guy. 'Jings I wonder what his inside leg is?' - I guessed 36 , and my pal replied with 'Mair like 30-10' - I repeated what he said, and we both laughed most heartily....

Then had a ususal 'real life' dream where a couple came in to complain aboot a jacket not fitting that they had with their kilt hire. The woman took forever to get the words out - very confused, but I dinny mind noo precisely the words she was using. I then looked at the jacket and then at the short wee man, who was actually wearing his kilt all so of rolled into a sort of belt. (over his troosers, luckily!)

SOOO close to a successful WILD last night - but jings, mebbe the nicht eh?

One wee bit of a dream retrieved.

Standing with a lassie. We saw a lassie who works for me IRL coming in the distance, she was wearing a white jacket. I said to the lassie I was with - 'Why does she always move in such a strange way? - I'm going tae ask her.'

She approached us, but instead of coming in a straight line, she went behind a wee hedge first and took a big detour to get to us.

and that's it...

Felt like I had two long substantial dreams last night, but my recall is still v bad. Heres whits left. Non lucid of course

1) Staying with my pal Fraser at a wee shack in the middle of nowhere, we had to slide on our bellies along a wee passge full of all the shite of the day to get to our rooms! The man who owned the place was a skinny weasly sort of chap. I stood with this man outside the shack as dusk fell, there was a burn running alongside the shack, I mind the noise the ater was making. He was on the look out for monsters.

There WERE monsters, but sadly I forget!

2)At my shop. There were a couple of lassies with me. We were up the back and heard a hell of a noise from above us. Cant mind the specific dialogue but they were blaming our neighbours, I said that was mpossible as this far back into the shop there was only attic space (which IRL is correct), I opened the door which led to the attic to make my point. it was exactly as is IRL and I was daring them to go u and check out the sound. Bits I forget but later I was in the attic and it didn't feel right at all, as it was far too big - presumably I was supposed to do a reality check here!!

Bah.

Tried WILD 3 times durin the night - but I think I was too tired - the effort was annoying me somewhat! Again all non lucid - damn!

Fragments - The Doctor (as played by David tenant) saying he was 100,000 years old.

- something about meeting a couple of old dears doon the street.

Dream - In a pretty cool second hand bookshop. Two rooms connected by a wee passage. My wife was with me and someone else. There was a continual pressure for me to hurry up for some reason. I suddenly spotted a heap of gamebooks (another IRL hobby for me) , the first were a couple of Lone Wolf books which I didn't have , one of them was book 5 , there was a picture of a tiger on the cover. I found a book with a purple cover written by a familiar author (cant mind now) , thought it was a gamebook, had a wee flick through but it wasn't. I found a few more gamebooks , I had them stacked in the crook of my arm. I remember seeing a copy of 'The Haunted Castle of Ravencurse (which I do have IRL) but it had a different spine to the one I have.

Dream - Some DC said my sideburns were looking ridiculous - they were covering the entire sides of my face! - I managed to shave one of them down to a better level, but got distracted (cant mind what doing) and was a bit upset because of my now wonky sideburns!

Another poor night. Tiny non lucid fragments again

1) TV screen with music blaring (like really blaring) and an image of a fat sweaty beardy man staring throught the telly. Dream cut out as sudden as a tv switching off.

2) Round at my friends house and my wee 3 year old showing off a bit - My pals said 'He's gone totally mad!'

3) Lining up all my nice hardback 'Torchwood' books and being cheesed off because the latest one (which had Ianto on the cover) was a soft back and looked rubbish.

4) Another bird in my garden (I really need to get oot birding again IRL), quite big, with a rosy red breast - I Identified it as a Stonechat (which it wasnae!)

5) Still in the garden tidying up, my wife pointed out a tall bit that was needing cut away.

Not very exciting!

Hmmm.

the only 'proper' dream last night was a 'real life fragment'

I was doing my books and put something in the wrong place on Excel

Very exciting.

Woke up at 0100 and decided to try a WILD. Think I was half way there! Funny buzzing feeling in my head was the main result and had very vague dreams (more like daydreams I suppose) which I couldn't 'access' ,(if that makes sense) , and it wasnae for the want of trying.

grrr

Absoultely nothing! - not even the feeling that I had dreams and cant get to them! I sometimes wonder if nights like that during REM my mind isn't putting together anything coherent and is just a jumble of images etc , if that makes sense ? - any thoughts.

The only thing I had last night was as I was drifiting off, having a dreamlet where I tripped on a kerbstone and woke up with my whole body emulating the action - I'm sure everyones had these - is there a name for that kind of dream? (The most vivid one of these I had was a man smashing a hammer down on my head.)
