      Aztec Drawings 6/8/09

      I'm showing Dave R the URL of a website I've found. It's about a Castaneda type teacher. We type in the address and it starts to load. I'm quite surprised at this because I expected it to be filtered out by the firewall.

      Now I'm in a cafeteria. I look down and see some pages on a table. I pick them up and see that they are drawings from the website. They look like martial arts postures.The style is like the drawings of the Aztecs.

      Over the Edge 7/8/09

      I'm in a TV studio. A man is sing a sad song over what appears to be a grave. Another actor is sitting on the grave. I gather he represents the person who's died. At the end of the song the sing walks away and crouches down. I try to identify him. I know I've seen him before but I can't place him.

      Now Oprah and a group of people go out onto the balcony of her mansion. It looks out over a deep valley. The edge of the balcony is crenellated like the ramparts of a castle. Oprah blesses the day. I gather this is her custom. I think this is pretentious and add "Me too!". I climb over the edge of the balcony and start working my way along the ledge. I'm looking for a way out. At first I'm okay but then I realise I could fall and that I'm in danger. I start to edge back to a place where I can climb back over the edge onto balcony again. I'm increasing aware of how little grip I have.

      Hijacked Ferry 8/8/09

      I'm in a ferry that's been hijacked. The hijackers are well organised. I see one of them confronting Mark. He has a strange implement in his hand and wants to know what it's for. Mark tells him that it's used to exercise his finger. He explains that he injured the tendon in his index finger and had one from his face transplanted. The device is to stretch the new tendon into shape. I pipe up and say that this is the truth. I say that I've worked with Mark. I look over the side and see a small tug approaching. It's very square and looks like a little castle in the water. I gather it's from Victoria. I hear Mark and one of the hijackers talking about a Victorian football team.

      Now I decide to go back to my seat on an upper level of the ferry. I see a box full of coins. The hijackers say that people can take as many coins as they want because they're not the object of the raid.

      Not Joining the Parade 9/8/09

      I'm in a town in Bosnia I think. There's a parade of the local Serbs about to start. I'm swept along in the crowd down a hill until we reach a corner. At this point I cross the road and head back up the hill. I suspect that the crowd of Serbs is going to start killing people and I don't want to be involved. I can feel people looking at me as I leave the parade. I know they're wondering why I won't take part.

      In America

      I'm with some young men in a house in America. We're in a small room. I suspect they're cooking up a dope deal. I can see what look like ounces of dope in a bowl of water. I gather they're curing. I tell one of the men that I used to live in Champaign Illinois and he replies that that's where Sarah Connor comes from. I'm surprised that I didn't know this. He loses interest when I tell him this.

      Now I'm in the main part of the house. There are steps leading down to a river and a table in the water. Some people are sitting at the table. A man dives in and I can see that he has only just missed a ladder in the water. It seems very reckless to do this. I consider going down to the table but I don't feel welcome and I don't want to have to get into the water.

      Now I'm talking to the father of the house about trees. We're trying to work out if we mean the same thing when we refer to brush box. I have a dog eared book in my hand and I look it up but there's no picture. The man takes me down a corridor to look at a poster of a local development which he says has box trees but there's no picture either. I remember that we can look it up on the net but when we look into another room it's full of women and we don't want to interrupt. I gather these are the man's wife's relatives.

      Now I'm in another room. A woman is spraying insecticide. She explains that the feet of some introduced kangaroos have insects that have to be killed. There are several people there and I gather they're Indians. The woman says they didn't prosper until they got rid of the insects. They agree. They don't look very happy about it. One woman says this involved getting rid of her husband.

      Bus Trip to Grafton

      I'm in a crowd of people in a railway station. We're climbing a steep staircase. I listen to two men talking nearby. I know I'm late for work. We come to the top of the stairs and get into a bus. It's full so I have to stand. The ride is bumpy and after a while the bus breaks down and shudders to a halt. One of the men nearly falls and I help the other man support him. I explain I only got on the bus to avoid climbing another flight of stairs. I say that now I'll have to walk back.

      Both Feet and Hands

      I'm going down a fire stair in a tall building. A man with me warns that it may be dangerous. He says people live in the stairway. He says that the "use both feet and hands". I take this to mean that they are homosexuals who might attack me.

      Slow Traffic 10/8/09

      I'm driving through the country. I come to a small town. The car in front of me slows suddenly and I have to break. Then the car pulls off the road at a newsagents. I conclude that woman inside wants to buy the papers. I continue on.

      Now I'm in the country again. I'm in a long line of cars that are crawling along. At some point the situation morphs so that I'm wheeling a bicycle along. I accidentally bump an old man in front of me and apologise. He's not annoyed and we strike up a conversation. As we talk we work our way slowly down a steep hill. He tells me that he doesn't mind because in 20 days it'll be school holidays. As we talk we pass a house. A woman is working on a sign that says "70 Limericks". I gather they can produce limericks on demand. I look to the front of the line of cars and see a small white car that's barely moving. I remind myself that there may be a good reason for its slowness and in any case it may not the cause of the holdup because I can't see if there are any cars in front of it around the bend.

      Cups of Coffee 12/8/09

      There is a crowd of men in the house. They've been watching a TV show that's just ended. I decide I'd like a cup of coffee and ask if anyone else would like one. It takes a while to get the numbers and then I start making the coffee. I decide to use small cups because it's after dark. I find some in a cupboard and invite people to pick one. Some of the cups are too small to use.

      Don't Embarrass Me

      I'm sitting at a desk. John comes up. He picks up a couple of pieces of paper and shows them to me. I see that one is a picture of a naked woman. Before he can show anyone else I snatch it from him and crumple it up. I'm annoyed and tell him stop trying to embarrass me.

      Climbing Teams 13/8/09

      I'm watching a story about two groups of climbers attempting a vertical face. One large group is trying go up a direct route. They have all the equipment and supplies they need so they're not going in stages. The other group are trying to run a pipe all the way to the top. This is an engineering approach. I look at a chart showing the proposed route of the pipe. I gather there have been some initial difficulties. I know the direct group are rather contemptuous of the engineers.

      Besieged 14/8/09

      I'm trapped in a house with a family. There are gunmen outside shooting at us. We've been there all night. As it gets light I suggest we call the police. The mother of the family says that this will be bad for her career. As we talk a small car pulls up in the driveway and a woman gets out. She has a metal detector. I assume she's looking for bombs. As we watch other cars pull up. We all assume that this is police. When they are in the house I start to have doubts about them. I wonder if these are the people who've kept us pinned down.

      Organisational Structures 16/8/09

      I've been brought in as a consultant to a company. The man who is supposed to be supervising me doesn't seem to know what I'm supposed to be doing. I go to my desk and look around for a Linux disk.I see that a woman nearby has one but I'm not sure whether it's okay for me to ask her for it. I go back to my supervisor and we talk. After a while the manager comes out onto a stage and there's a presentation. There's even an interpreter for deaf people. I'm tempted to make a smart comment but don't. When the presentation is over it's time for morning tea so we go into the canteen. A man comes up and tells me he's from security. I'm alarmed for a moment and then he gives me a pass. It's in pieces and has to be put together.I joke to the security man that I thought he was going to throw me out of the building.

      Now I'm outside Crawford House at the Hunter St entrance. I'm explaining to some employees about my ideas for the organisation. I have the idea of emulating the Tetrarchy, with a top layer of administrators and submanagers below them. I have a set of managers that should be accessible to all employees and relay their idea up to the top bosses. I draw some diagrams. I have a couple of goes before I get it right. There's a foreman present. He's a bit sceptical but appears interested. I realise I've left my pass in the canteen and head up the hill to get it. I come to Uralba St and wait to cross.

      Held Captive 18/8/09

      I'm with a group of people who've been taken prisoner in Central Asia. We're told we have to fight for a guerrilla group. We have to learn a new language and do what we're told. It's the end of the day and people are finding a place to sleep. One man is a sort of prince and he and his girlfriend get into bed. I can tell they're in love and want to have sex. I wonder if they mind having to do it in public. When everyone has found a place to sleep I watch as a woman quietly gets up and leaves. I know she's trying escape. I don't think she has much chance. I'm sure she's going to be severely punished.

      Mad Doctor 22/8/09

      I'm in some kind of post-disaster world. There are very few people left. I'm with a young woman at a train station. We're trying to find her brother who is a doctor. Sher tells me that he's mad but can still function as a doctor. We sing his favorite song to bring him out into the open. I'm suddenly struck by sadness of it all and start to weep.

      Now we're meeting some other survivors. I see an old man I vaguely recognise. I have an idea that he comes from Kyogle. He's lying down and I can see that he's very sick. I speak kindly to him and ask if there's anything I can do for him.

      Now I'm in another room. I wonder if the groups should join forces. I know my group is lucky to have the doctor even if he's mad because he is still a valuable asset.

      Sour Beer

      I'm in the dining room at Five Dock. I pour myself a small glass of beer from a small keg on the sideboard. There's woman sitting at the table. I tell her that this is my home brew. I add that I'm not very happy with this batch because it's a bit sour but offer to let her try it. She agrees and I pour her a larger glass from the keg. She drinks most of it and then puts the glass down. I can see that she thinks it's sour too.

      A Retreat 23/8/09

      Sherrie has told me about two retreats. One is run by the Catholics. I go to Drummoyne to check it out. I go to the other side of Victoria Rd and get into a train. I walk to the front carriage. There is a priest with a group of people. He talks for a while. I stay quiet because I don't want to interrupt. At one point he asks the people to get out their bibles and he discusses a text. I see that this is in Latin. After a while the meeting ends and the priest goes into another room. There are other priests there. I ask him about the retreat. I ask him if it's going to be based on the Vulgate and he says yes. I say that my Latin is too rusty for that to be any good for me and that I won't be taking part.

      Join the Queue

      I'm riding a motorbike through the country. I come to a small town and ride through it slowly. I approach a group of people. One of the children in the group turns to me and makes a gesture for me to slow down. I'm a bit annoyed by this because I'm already moving very slowly.

      Now I've joined a queue of people waiting to board a ferry. I still have the bike between my legs. It's heavy and it nearly topples over. I make a joke about this to a woman standing nearby.

      Falling Pig 24/8/09

      I'm looking at the front door of a house. I can see that it's been booby-trapped. I rig a line so I can open the door from a safe distance and when I do the body of a pig falls where I would have been standing. Mum is standing next to me and I comment that this would kill a person.

      Now I'm sitting at a table. I'm quite upset because I've discovered that the pig wasn't dead. I look through the window and see it lying on the doorstep. I can see that it's bleeding. I tell Mum about this. I say that I'm going to have to call the vet because the animal is in pain. I apologise for laying this on her and say that while dad is away she's in charge.

      John Burnheim

      I'm working in an office and John Burnheim. I'm living in Lismore because Sherrie and I have broken up. It's the end of the day and I'm talking to John. I say that I was trying to work out if his was the first lecture I attended when I started uni. I say that I've concluded that he was definitely one of the first. I add that I was studying Greek and Latin so I was frequently in that part of the Quadrangle. I'm curious about why he left academe and we talk about this for a while.

      Now I'm walking through Lismore with Mike. He tells me that John doesn't have many books now and seems to have turned his back on his previous life. He goes on to describe a play he's involved in. He suddenly grabs me and presses his finger against my coccyx. This is very uncomfortable and embarrassing. He says that this is a major element in the play. I'm a bit flummoxed by this. It reinforces my idea that I can't relax around Mike.

      Now we go into a shop. I gather there's a meeting of a women's group and I don't want to disturb them but Mike isn't concerned. He points out a frame on the wall. At first I think it's a cross stitch of a woman but then conclude that it's a photo.

      Now we continue on and come to a bar. There are lots of people. Mike seems to know a lot of them. He stops with a group of people with a dog. He gives the dog a nice cuddle which surprises me because I didn't know he liked dogs. We come to a window that looks out over a cityscape. I can see a nearby building. It looks like there are ants climbing up the walls and then I realise that it's people. I shudder at the thought. I look at other buildings and wonder what it would be like to climb them. Brett is nearby and he makes a comment about a "human fly" who climbs buildings. Mike suggests we have another drink. It's late and I'd prefer to go home but I agree. He gives a barmaid a coin and climbs over the bar. (We've been standing behind the bar looking out of the window.) I look in my wallet for some money. I find a coupon for "Women's Weekly" and jokingly offer it to the barmaid and then look for a $5 note.

      Robots 26/8/09

      Robots have taken over the computer centre. At first I'm resentful of them and see them as pushing me out. I go into a bedroom and see that it's been taken over by two robots. When I complain they seem quite unsympathetic. When I leave one of them tells me that he loves me. I find this very strange and disturbing at first but then I begin to see that in fact they are a benign presence.

      Renting a Box

      I'm with Dad in my parents' bedroom at Five Dock. Dad wants me to talk to a man who lives in a box there. I gather we have to get his consent for me to move in. The man doesn't come out of the box and I get the impression that he's not in favour. Dad says that this means that it's time for both of us to move out.

      Amateur Surgery 27/8/09

      I have some things wrong with my mouth and Sherrie is going it fix them. One thing involves her pushing a needle through my cheek. It doesn't hurt but it's rather disconcerting. This takes place in the garden near the parking spot.

      Now we're in a pub. Sherrie is going to do something with a tooth. She connects a probe to a camera and then exclaims in annoyance that the video is being relayed throughout the pub. I tell her not to worry. The woman running the pub comes up and tells us to hurry up. She says people on the dole like us shouldn't take too long because other people are waiting. I don't like her attitude.

      Pursued in a Hospital 28/8/09

      I've brought a truck load of supplies to a hospital and I'm waiting for it to be unloaded. There are hospital staff at the end of a chute who are supposed to do this but they're delaying. At first I think it's a joke but when all the people in the loading area look at me in a sinister what I realise that something more serious is happening. I decide to get out of there.

      Now I'm inside the hospital. There are soldiers looking for me. I go from floor to floor looking for somewhere to hide. I go back to the lower entrance and see a squad of soldiers preparing to enter. I run back up the stairs and come to the main foyer. There's an old man sitting at a desk. As I run out the front door I tell him that the soldiers are on their way.

      Big OH&S Meeting 30/8/09

      I'm the chair of an OH&S committee. It's a new setup and people are arriving for the first meeting. There's a bar and I decide I might as well have a beer while I'm waiting for the people to assemble so I order a schooner.

      Now I'm sitting in the middle of a large meeting room. It's half full of tables and chairs. There are forty or fifty people present. I'm amazed at seeing so many people. I don't know any of them. I gather they've come from all different parts of the hospital. Dave Gr is sitting next to me. I reach for my beer and see that someone has replaced my schooner with a small glass. I suspect Dave has done this. I down the small glass and decide that it's time to start the meeting. Without standing I start making a speech welcoming people and generally buttering them up. My voice is very croaky and I apologise for this and say that I've got a cold. I look around the room making eye contact. Despite the trouble the trouble with my voice I feel pretty much in control of proceedings.

      Now I'm standing on a balcony addressing a crowd, I'm still talking about OH&S. Dave is standing next to me. I say we're lucky to have him and heap praise on him.

      Why Am I Here?


      I'm down in the dungeon with Marek. He's sitting at my desk. I tell him I've rebooted two clustered machines and want to check that the system is working properly. He starts an application and we look to see how many people are logged in. At first it doesn't show any but then the system refreshes and I can see that it's working. A young man comes up and says something to Marek before going into the computer room. I gather they're working on a new project.

      Now it's lunchtime and I'm looking for something to eat. I walk along a tree lined street and come to a road. I see a bench which is partly in sun. I'm holding an empty Coke can in my hand. I'm collecting them for some reason. I put it down and make a note to collect it later then go over to the bench and sit in the sun. I enjoy the sun for a while and then some women come up and sit on the bench next to me. It's crowded now and I'm squeezed to the end of the bench. One of the women shows another a newspaper article about the "Jaeger Society". She says that it's really old and is now being refurbished. I decide to leave. At first I think about going across the road to the canteen and getting a take away lunch but then realise that since I'm still on holiday I can just go home. I wonder why I'm at work at all.

      An Eagle At My Shoulder 31/8/09

      (A Holosync dream.) I'm lying down. It's dusk. I look up and see an eagle. It starts to spiral down towards me. At first I'm alarmed that it's going to attack me but it settles about 10 feet above me to my right. I'm very excited about this wonderful event and think about what I'll say to Margaret.

      Now it's dark. I'm driving down a city street in Iraq. It's not very well lit. I come to an intersection and want to turn right but there are roadworks and I have to detour to the left. It starts to rain heavily and the car windows fog up. I come to a right hand turn and want to take it but I can barely see. I trust to luck and make the turn.

      Now I'm on foot. It's still raining. I wrap a shawl around my head and shoulders to keep dry. I come to a bridge in a city. There are lots of people crossing. I join the crowd. I wonder if they know I'm not a Muslim.

      A Lovely Girl

      I'm in the canteen at a university. I'm sitting by myself at a small table. I have a bottle of my ginger beer and decide I want a glass to drink it out of. I leave the bottle and some other stuff on the table and go to the bar. I'm assuming that it will be clear that the table is taken. I ask the bartender for a glass.When I go back to my table I see that it's been cleared and my stuff is gone. I look around for my bottle. A girl comes up and tells me that it may be in a small bin nearby. I look inside and see the bottle underneath some rubbish. She joins me at the table. She says she either has to go to a lecture or find something else to do. I suggest she comes home with me and she agrees.

      Now we're sitting in the loungeroom floor watching TV and talking. I find the girl very pleasant company. After a while she leans over and kisses me. It's a lovely kiss and I respond fully. We kiss some more and then I suggest we go into the bedroom and "get horizontal". She agrees and we go next door. The bed has the blankets pulled back. I say that we don't have to get into the bed but she says she wants to. I'll keep the rest of the dream to myself I think ...

      Prison Train 1/9/09

      I'm watching a TV show about some kind of dispute involving prison guards. Their spokesman has a mass of dreadlocks bundled together so they form a thick tail that sticks out behind his head. He talks about a train line that runs into the prison that the guards want to reactivate.

      Now I'm aboard the train as it heads through bushland into the prison. We come to a place where the tracks have been removed and 44 gallon drums block the way. Some guards get down off the train to see how to get the train past this obstacle. I wonder if the train can run for a short distance without tracks. I notice that there is no fence. I gather the removal of the tracks and the drums is regarded as a sufficient barrier.

      Now we're moving again. We've got past the trackless area and are going into the prison grounds. The guards are wary. I see that they're armed. I hear a voiceover saying that they have to proceed with caution.

      Snakes On A Plane 2/9/09

      Helen and Mum and I are walking through a park. It's dark. Mum tells me that Helen nearly had a gentleman friend. I ask Helen to tell me about it and she says that she was walking in this same park one day and she found a ticket to a circus. She took the ticket to the circus to return it to the owner, who turned out to be a very well spoken gentleman. She says she could have taken it further but didn't. I get a sense of regret in her words. As we walk I ask her what his name was and if he was an Australian. We come to some stairs at the edge of the park.

      Now it's daylight. Helen and I are at an airport. We walk through some crowds to board our plane. We pass through a loading area where I see all sorts of snakes being handled. I gather all of them are going to be killed for food on the flight. I see a huge python and say out loud how unfair it is that something that's taken decades to reach this size is going to be killed just to feed people on a plane. I step past the python and avoid a small viper at my feet. The whole situation appals me.

      Now we're being shown to our seats. Someone tells me that on Air New Zealand flights there's no in-flight entertainment and passengers have to audition unless they're in first class. We come to our seats at the front of the plane. The stewardess asks me what kind of music I want. I say classical or classic rock. She seems surprised by this and I get the impression that the people around me will be listening to something I won't like. She also cautions me that the only food is curry. I let Helen have the window seat and we sit down. I notice that some of the people behind me have turned their seats around like in a railway carriage. The person directly behind me has tilted his chair so that it hangs awkwardly over mine. I try stretching out but it's still annoying.

      At Wimbledon 4/9/09

      I've got tickets for the men's final at Wimbledon. I'm waiting in a little lawned area. I gather this is for people with first class tickets. An old gentleman engages me in conversation. We talk until we're called to go to the court.

      Now I'm in a car with Dad, Sherrie and Enid. Dad's driving and I'm in the front passenger seat. We go past the turnoff for the centre court. We drive around getting more lost. I'm annoyed because we'll miss the final and everyone is in a bad mood. We finally pull over.

      Now we're sitting at a table by the side of the road having a picnic. I'm finding it very difficult to conceal my dislike for Enid. She's being very bullying and know-it-all. While I struggle with this some men come up and take the table away. They don't say anything but I gather that we've broken a rule by parking there. The others follow the men and I struggle to put my slippers on. I debate whether to follow them as well.

      Arriving First 5/9/09

      I've driving a large 4WD up Ramsey Rd. I come to the corner of Mons St and pull over. I back up so I'm not in the bus stop. I'm going to meet some people there. I go for a fair way before I decide to stop. I get out of the car and check that I'm close enough to the kerb. I walk across the road. As I do this I remember that the people I'm going to meet were going to have an immunisation shot before the meeting. I realise that this is why no-one is there yet. I wonder if I should go back to get my shot but decide I can get it next week. I walk to the corner. I consider going down towards the bay but don't. There's some sort of cocktail party in progress. I gather that it's got something to do with discouraging young people from taking pethedine. I hear someone saying that this drug isn't usually on young peoples' radar. A waiter comes up with a tray and I take a small piece of cheese. Then I turn around and leave the party. As I leave I see a bag of green olives on the ground. I gather the waiters are using these for their canapes. I look across the road to my car and see that some other cars are parked near it. These cars are angle parked. I wonder if I should have done the same.

      Where's Trish? 6/9/09

      I'm late for work. I look at my watch and see it's 10:10. I remember that yesterday there was a party and hope that people understand why I'm late. I arrive at the house in Rowley Rd and go around to the backyard. I see a young woman who I think is a radiologist. She was a complete mess yesterday but looks healthy now. I comment on how good she looks considering her state the day before. She comes up to me and gravely tells me that Trish hasn't been seen since she and Annette left Mullum yesterday. I see she's concerned so I say we should go to up Medical Records and see if they know anything. We go up the stairs into the house.
