Dream Tales

I was on a case with Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings. We'd been to several different places in the course of the investigation and throughout the day each one of those places had been set on fire.

Sitting in a car and driving through the countryside we passed by a pub that had burned to the ground and, with a great sense of urgency, made haste to the last place we had visited: a place that seemed to be a mix of a club, school and camp ground.

It was full of children, so we were relieved to see it was still standing. We had just agreed to split up and search for any signs of an iminent fire when my alarm went off and I woke up.

This one's a tad confusing as I'm not sure if I was fully dreaming it all or if I was half awake.

I was lying in bed, my mind feeling sluggish, and suddenly became aware of a presence beside me. I turned my head and saw a figure standing beside my bed, though I was unable to move my head to see more than the mid-torso. It was a man dressed in white and I'm sure he was wearing a tie, though I cannot remember the colour.

I waved my hand at him in a shooing motion. "No, no, go away! Go away!" I cried.

It was at this point that I suddenly jolted upright and woke up to find my heart was racing and I suddenly craved some form of light in my dark bedroom. I'm reasonably sure I actually said the whole 'go away' part aloud and actually moved my hand too, which is why I wonder if I was half awake for this.

The ghost of a young girl was haunting a school and terrorizing the students. I was knelt down in one of the hallways when I suddenly felt her presence behind me. Instead of harming me, however, she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me. I turned my head slightly to look at her and saw that she had long hair and was wearing a frilly summer dress. She was also completely grey but she looked happy.

#1
I was in a car with a friend. We were driving near the coast and when I looked at the sea I saw two tornadoes, which I quickly pointed out to my friend.

#2
Same car, same friend. Only now we're in the countryside. A small tornado picks up our car, spins it round a few times, then moves on. My friend and I are unharmed and I remember commenting that it had been a while since I last had a tornado dream.

#3
My dad's giving me a piggyback ride. There's a young blonde girl with us who's supposed to be some kind of relative and we're all really happy together. We go inside a large building that's some kind of cross between a library and a theater.

#4
My dad and I are walking to the car. I comment that the blonde girl isn't with us and dad says he's going to leave her behind. I'm stunned until I remember how I've spent several years without her and decide that she'll be fine. Then I catch a glimpse of her across the car park and try to shepherd her towards the car anyway.

#5
I was hanging out with a brunette man who was apparently the voice actor for both Takato and Terriermon from Digimon Tamers (IRL I know he isn't). I asked if he could just do one little thing for me and say "Momentai" in Terriermon's voice and when he did so I said I was happy now.

Originally dreamed on 23.05.2012:



In this dream Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds was a teacher and I was one of his students. His class had just finished and as everyone filed out of the room I opened up a large cardboard box on one of the tables and, after looking inside, began to laugh hysterically. I think there was a Nintendo Wii inside but I’m not sure.

I then went outside and started jogging away because I didn't want a particular group of boys to see me but they cornered me in a block of houses a short distance away. They started threatening me and I burst into tears. One of the boys claimed I’d punched him in the arm and I told them I hadn't. Another boy grabbed me by the collar of my top and lifted me up.

I don’t remember what happened after that but next thing I knew I was riding in a buggy-type vehicle with a foreign woman. She said something to me and suddenly the vehicle sped up and turned invisible. It was also able to phase through things so we shot down the road without a care in the world.

Somehow I wound up in the Digital World and the boy who claimed I had hit him was there too. I passed by a dark cave full of really powerful, evil Digimon and end up in a grand hall sort of place with a bunch of good Digimon.

We started talking and the boy got really upset and decided to leave because apparently nobody liked him (I hated him but I don’t know about everyone else). I told the good Digimon that I hoped the evil Digimon in the cave wouldn't take him because they’d kill him, though really I knew they’d use him to become even more powerful.

The boy did go to the cave but then the scene changed and I found myself back at the school. I vaguely recall snuggling up to Reid and then I went outside and saw that it was dark. One of those big sixteen-wheeled trucks pulled up and I thought it was for me but it was actually for Reid because he’d been chosen to go to the Digital World.

Then John Barrowman pulled up in another car that could go invisible and he took me back there too. Along the way I got a yellow Digivice and a menu screen popped up with three potential Digimon partners on it. A chime sounded when I hovered over a yellow Munna from Pokemon and I was a little disappointed because I'd wanted the Digimon at the bottom of the screen.

“At least it’s cuter than my last partner”, I said, hugging the Munna.

The last thing I remember is sitting in a waiting room with a small group of other people who had also been chosen to come to the Digital World. Reid was near the back looking rather downcast.

I was standing in a built up area, in a car park or something surrounded by large brick factory buildings and offices. Walking towards me was a headless ghost wearing a black business suit covered in blood. My brother and I attempted to walk away but the ghost followed so I sighed and said we may as well fight it.

Wow, I haven't posted here in forever. I don't have access to the dream journal on my laptop just yet, so here's a dream I had on 05.02.13:

I was in Peterborough's town center and I entered a shop and began looking at some chocolate bars which resembled Toblerones, except they only had four triangles and were about the size of my hand. I wanted to get one for my brother as a present but the packaging on all of the bars was damaged in some way and I was trying to find the best looking one to buy. Next I went to a charity shop were I got him a large toy steam train that made realistic sounds.

Glancing at my watch I decided to make my way towards the bus stop and I entered Queensgate Shopping Center. Standing outside one of the stores I now had two suitcases with me, a small one and a much larger one that I was hurrying to pack as the bus was due to arrive in ten minutes. I yelled at my brother to help me but once I'd packed he took off, leaving me behind. I angrily informed him that he could have helped instead of leaving me to carry both cases but he didn't seem bothered.

We got outside the shopping center and now appeared to be near some train tracks. I was panicking because I needed to find the stairs that would take me to the bus depot and I couldn't see them anywhere. I frantically yelled to my brother that I couldn't find them. The scene then changed and suddenly I was sat on the bus, sans brother and suitcases, and on my way home. There were only a few other people on the bus with me and everyone was silent.

Abruptly the scene then changed again. A dark pit, bottomless and dotted with stars and faint nebula, had appeared in the bus. Everyone was safe but me. I was inside the pit, right near the top, standing on the head of a gigantic flying beetle with a massive horn and bright purple armor plating. Suddenly the beetle began to glow and shrink and before I could escape the pit it vanished. With a scream I plummeted into the darkness.

One of the people on the bus commented that the pit was a gateway through time and space and questioned if I would be okay. Another person answered that I would be, as the pit had sent me through time to just before I got on the bus.

The A-Team was with a young archaeologist looking for fossils. Murdock was using a device similar to the Ghostbusters PKE meter. He wasn’t looking where he was going and fell down a deep trench whereupon he discovered the fossils they’d been looking for. I grabbed a large brush and began to clean dirt away from a prehistoric crocodile. At one point I was looking at my Murdock bobble-head.

#2
I was playing a racing game and was driving a sporty looking silver car. I floored it up a huge jump and landed on a small rocky platform. A red car was hanging off the edge and my brother told me to get into it. I did and drove away just as the platform crumbled. After another huge jump I found an even sportier looking pink car and got into it. My brother said it wouldn’t work but I revved the engine and it came to life. I went on to win the race.

#3
I was desperately trying to get the Fairstead 43 bus to Peterborough. I waved at one that came by but it didn’t stop. I went into a shop to pass the time and when I came out another bus was approaching the stop. This time I managed to get on.

Nick, Catherine and Warrick were working on case. Things were going well until a massive, neon white flash of light erupted over the area. The next thing they knew they were in an area that looked remarkably like Orton Centre and their bodies were completely different.

Nick was now a young blonde lad in his early twenties and stuck in a wheelchair. Catherine had aged considerably and put on a lot of weight. She too was in a wheelchair. Warrick was the least affected - he had just reverted into a teenaged version of himself.

Together they roamed around the area, trying to work out what was going on. After a while Nick wandered off and when Catherine and Warrick found him he was dancing in a club.

"How is he staying upright?" Catherine asked.

"That guy he's with is holding him up", Warrick replied.

Eventually they got Nick out of the club and back onto his wheelchair. The scene then changed to show Alexx from CSI Miami wandering round a large room with their real bodies lying in a comatose state on some metal tables.

"So how are they?" asked a voice whose body was hidden from view.

"Well they have no idea that their minds are in a separate reality to their bodies", Alexx replied. "I have no idea if and when they'll wake up".

Then the scene changed back to the others, who were sat together on a bench. Nick and Catherine were asleep but Warrick was awake and looked worried. They never did get back to their own reality because I woke up before they could.

#1
Me and a girl who was apparently my friend were running through the woods. There was a boy a couple years younger with us and he was lagging behind. We stopped to allow him to catch up but he slumped against a tree and passed out. The girl put him on her back and we ran into a block of houses. She was now slowing so I took the boy’s excessively heavy backpack and put it on.

#2
I was in a café with a group of friends. The café was run by Daleks. I had to go to the toilet and when I went in I found a woman having a lively chat with a Dalek as though it was her best friend. When I returned to the café I found my friends being led away with the lead Dalek in possession of my phone which I realised must have gone off (my ringtone was the Doctor Who theme).

“Stop!” I yelled, running forward. “It’s mine! The phone is mine!”

The Daleks freed my friends and I was shut up in a bright, dungeon type area beneath the café.

#3
The gang from Goodness Gracious Me were coming together for a new series. I was watching an ad for it.

#4
I was in a grassy clearing in a block of houses with my brother. It was dark and I saw a baby deer just ahead of us. I asked my brother if it was the one he had seen before and he nodded. The deer then approached us and as it got nearer it got bigger and bigger. Up close I could now see that it looked nothing like a deer at all. It was more of a mix between a goat and a moose. It was very tame and let us pat it and when I asked it if I could take its picture with my phone it nodded and backed away so I could get a better shot.

#5
I was in Hunstanton with my family. We were preparing to leave but I was unhappy because we hadn’t gone into the arcade.

I was walking through my neighbourhood with my mum. Suddenly she spotted something in some bushes and from our distance it looked like a pet rabbit. Mum went after it, thinking we could find out where it lived and take it home, but when she grabbed it she got scratched and dropped it.

Thinking quickly I ran after it and scooped it up in my arms. Only, it wasn't a rabbit anymore. It was a giant rainbow coloured rooster without the frilly bit on top and only a short tail. His name was Hanks and he was as big as my real-life pet dog (a 3st staffie bull terrier).

We instantly bonded and became friends but then my mum dropped us off at some random house and told me to give Hanks to the people who lived inside. I knocked on the door and a girl about my age answered. I showed her Hanks.

"Do you like my pet?" I asked.

She nodded and a short conversation followed before I left - still carrying Hanks in my arms. We ended up at a large school building and after wandering around for a bit I suddenly realised that Hanks was missing.

"Hanks!" I yelled. "Hanks where are you!?"

To my relief Hanks came running back to me. He was bright pink now but I didn't care. Feeling very relieved I picked him up and we set off for home just as I woke up.

#1
I’d been killed, though I don’t know how. I was wandering round the car park of a warehouse/school building as a ghost. I kept following people but nobody could see me.

#2
I was in a block of houses, still as a ghost. No idea where I was going.

#3
I was now wearing a pretty silver and blue necklace that allowed people to see where I was (I was still a ghost). I was hanging out with the Torchwood gang who appeared to be pulling Jack along on a wooden sled in a small forested area. They were talking to me but I can’t remember what was said.

#4
I was jogging up and down the stairs of a school/office block. I kept doing my best to not be seen.

#5
A short, portly kid with black hair was following me around on a school field. At one point he hugged me. I think I was trying to help him with something.

I was in a large blue and white hospital room, visiting my best friend Tony DiNozzo from NCIS. He was sick with pneumonic plague but didn't actually appear to be ill.

He was sat up in bed conversing jovially with myself and Abby and had a big smile on his face.

Eventually I went home to get one of my books - a novelisation of the NCIS episode 'SWAK' - with every intention of reading it until I bumped into my mum outside a small restaurant in town. She was sat at a white plastic table with a drink in front of her.

"Hey, how’s Tony?" I asked.

"He looked very pale", Mum replied. "Ready to go?"

"Let me say goodbye to Tony first", I said and darted off to the hospital again.

I thought I knew the way to his room but the halls, rooms and corridors were like a maze and didn't recognise anything. I was completely lost.

"Can I help you?" a woman behind a reception desk asked as I wondered past.

"I'm looking for my friend's room", I told her. "He's got Pneumonic Plague".

"I can take you there", said a man from the hall.

He led me around the hospital until we came across a section that I remembered.

"Thanks, but I can get there from here", I said and wandered off on my own.

I was soon lost again and had ended up back at the hospital entrance. For some reason Macaulay Culkin was sat there at the age he'd been in the film 'Home Alone'.

"What's up?" I asked casually.

"There's a bomb in the hospital!" he replied. "We've got to get out!"

And the next thing I knew I was running for my life. I'd managed to get a few meters from the hospital when the bomb went off and destroyed the reception area. Then a second one destroyed the middle of the building.

"TONY!" I screamed, running desperately around the chain-link fence that had sprung up around the hospital to find a way in.

Suddenly a third and final bomb exploded, taking out the back of the hospital. Tony's room had been somewhere near there.

"TONY!" I shouted again and managed to find an opening that granted me entrance.

Considering three bombs had gone off within the hospital it was in remarkable condition. The power was down and a thin, brownish smoke hung in the air but apart from that everything looked ok.

I finally made it to Tony. The room was completely wrecked but somehow his bed had made it intact and he was lying on top of it in a comatose state which I assumed was because of the plague. There was also a man there - the same one who'd directed me around the hospital earlier.

"Watch out, he's going to kill you!" my brother yelled, appearing out of thin air and shooting the guy in the head.

He fell down and his face was revealed to be mask, hiding away his true identity. I knew him from somewhere but couldn't quite place him and I woke up before I could work it out.

#1
My brother and I were in a small block of houses with a woman with short blonde hair who was apparently our friend. Her house was being terrorized by a strange black monster and so we were trying to get all of her stuff out. My brother and I ran in to grab the last of her bags and I saw the monster on the stairs above us. I yelled at my brother to run and we took off.

#2
We were all out in the street. I walked up to the blonde woman with a portly looking man dressed as a security guard.

“Here’s your monster”, I laughed.

“Hi Jack”, said the woman carelessly.

It was a glorious sunny day and I was at the beach with Tony and Ziva from NCIS. I ran along the coastline in my swimming costume and as I did so a group of seals began to swim past, leaping into the air as they did so.

“Look!” I cried, “Look, look! Seals!”

The seals were really tame and cam right up close, even letting me stroke them. Then Ziva went past in the sea on a giant blue and white foam board. She was laughing with Tony who had a red and white board.

I dashed off and grabbed my own board (also red and white) then joined them in the sea. The water was warm and a crystalline blue and we all laughed as we splashed about. Suddenly Tony and I went all elemental.

A fiery red glow appeared around my body with white Japanese symbols emanating from it. Tony got a matching blue glow and we both became covered in cool, body hugging armour of the same colour.

Ziva appeared beside us in matching yellow armour and a fight began but it was blurry and I couldn’t make anything out. The only thing I remember was seeing Ziva beat down. Her armour vanished and not long after so did mine and Tony’s.

Tony then announced that he had to leave and we all looked miserable. We walked him to the bus stop and sat around with him whilst we waited for the bus to arrive. Before it could, however, I found myself with Tony in a Tesco store. My auntie was working there in a Woolworths uniform and I said hello to her.

“That’s my auntie Karen”, I informed Tony.

“I know”, he said. “I’ve met her before”.

Then we bumped into my mum in the cheese section. She had just mistaken Tony for my nonexistent gay brother when I woke up.
