I doubt I have any Elton John either. Oh - just remembered - I have the Princess Di version of Candle in the Wind

Train in France

Here we go again. Dreams back to normal . OK, sitting on train in France. I'm bored. Next...

Beanz

My son is eating Heinz Beanz in a tortilla wrap whilst the rest of us are eating something more sophisticated, made of other types of beans.
(PDP - was thinking about using beans as board game pieces yesterday)

Wood

In a woodwork class. I seem to be on chatty terms with the teacher. He was handing out projects to finish. I didn't like the look of the first one and he gave that to a random DC. The next was a large dragon-like animal made of wood. I said I'd take that one and did. He said it just needed sanding down so I found some sandpaper.

Portland

I was with a woman who seemed sad or depressed. We were in Portland Oregon (not totally sure where that is but in the dream it was near Canada) by the sea. I have a boat and suggest we go onto it. She seems to think it's better for us to go to Canada so I take the boat past two harbour walls and we can see the coast of Canada. I show her what Canada looks like and I say it looks just the same. I take the boat back to Portland.

Thinking about it later, I see that facing the land, Canada was on the right. But my American geography isn't so crap as to know that Portland is west coast so Canada should be on the left. Oh well, it's a dream not a geography lesson.

Interpretation still on holiday leave

Bu, that is so embarrassinge I can't believe you admitted it.

I always thought princess Di got ripped off a little bit. He couldn't write her a new song, had to recycle an old one?

Haha yes know what you mean. And it probably said more about his fascination for Marilyn Munroe than for Di.

Yeah, train-dreams again
Please, tell me you didn't go to the toilet in this train

Hahaha, for what kind of board game did you want to use them?

Cool, a dragon! That could lead to some nice interpretation

Don't know why, but that sounds so funny

I don't recall. Just remember people speaking French. Such a boring dream

For a role-playing game. Instead of rolling dice, players would draw beans from a bag to decide the outcomes of their actions. I've actually been wondering about this for a while. Characters would develop according to what beans they had in their bags. Some will have more magic beans, some more strength beans etc.

Now I look at it again I think so too. . Wonder what our US jury makes of it!

hmm interesting idea, I read you reply to sara question. I think you should give it a go mate sounds like it could be fun and if you play it with your family seems like it could be a good relationship builder

Yes but this one was a friendly dragon. It even had hair, or a mane. A gentle giant. Perhaps that's the message - the beast is nice when he's not disturbed!

Well I don't know. The woman in the dream didn't seem to be emotionally connected to me. On the other hand, I've not had a good anima dream for some time so perhaps she is a bit depressed . But what do you do with a woman like that. I even took her to Canada!

The extra mile

I'm dividing something out. Dunno what. Think it's all, ummm, metaphysical. Anyway as I divide "X" out amongst people the amount they have is represented by lengths of railway track (what else ). I have some extra to divide out and do so evenly amongst those who want it. Their tracks are extended by equal amounts. Strange.

Rugby for kids

Playing indoor rugby (badly) with colleague S and 2nd daughter amongst others. Then I see that in the hall there are loads of primary school children who don't really know what they're doing.

Spying on old boss

Saw old boss's jacket on a chair. Found a letter that he had in his pocket. It was on light blue paper. We were reading the letter and he came back in but only wanted more drink. (He drank heavily irl).

Interpretation still on leave

Interpretation still in France?

That was a relatively short night. Still, I think those trains and railroad tracks still need their true meaning to be found...

Nice that you divided 'it' equally (and not giving yourself more )
But later spying on your boss, that's not so nice of you

It might just as well be. It's having a break until it finds something interesting to talk about.

I dream of him almost as often as I dream of trains. He (or whatever he means to me) must be lurking in my unconscious. Not a pleasant thought really. And he shouldn't leave secret letters where I can find them

I've been on antibiotics for the last few days so perhaps that has affected my dreams. I've felt very tired whilst they've been fighting this chest infection I've got. That's my excuse anyway.

Will this DV plague never end?

Hope you feel better soon.

Whassup doc

I'm in my night clothes and I've called the doctor. The doorbell rings and I answer it. A small young woman is there, attractive in a frumpy sort of way. She comes in to the lounge (which is the lounge in my parents' house) and we look at each other with me feeling awkward. My eldest daughter is also in the room. I still say nothing and the doctor, indicating to me she's noticed my daughter and that I should ask her to leave the room, says "I would imagine that it's a boys' thing in the pelvic region?". At this point I feel even more awkward as I only have a cold! I look at her now and she has a bald head. She's taken off a wig. Weird. I feel I'm wasting her time and I just want her to go away.

OK punk, make my day

The first bit of the dream has escaped recall but I'm on another of these residential courses (almost as common as trains) and surrounded by women. I'm in a lounge area which is a bit tatty. I see there are 5 handbags on a sofa and make some kind of joke about it.

Now I'm sitting on the sofa with my legs stretched along the cushions. Sitting at the other end is a young woman who I feel I recognise. She's got a punk hairdo that's been allowed to grow out so is looking a bit messy but otherwise very casual looking. I think - didn't we meet on holiday as teenagers? I was thinking of asking her this but was mainly happy that she was cuddling my feet now and smiling at me in a contented kind of way. There was a discussion going on elsewhere in the room that she's a fan of the punk group "O2" (does such a group exist?).

Someone from my last course ("M") was standing behind the sofa and said we had to go because P, the course leader, has something arranged for us all.

The decent dreams are starting to come back again. The doctor dream was just strange. But th punk dream was rather nice. Mainly because my anima had come back to see me. It's been too long since she's invited me into her life. I didn't recognise her at the time but I know it was her. She's always been a simple-living person who's seen her share of life.

I don't know the relevance of 5 handbags or of "O2" which is a mobile phone company here in the UK.

It was. And I've had my feet cuddled before in dreams. Must be something I find very soothing.

Nothing to report

I can imagine it would be soothing, it seems somewhat personal and intimate (not is a sexual way lol) so yeah I really can imagine it being nice.

shame about the lack of recall, its so annoying isnt it

Well you know how it is in dreams. Sometimes the feeling and the action don't seem to make sense in the context of each other. Probably not sexual, no, but still very satisfying.

Originally Posted by mark

Yes. Probably self-inflicted. I'm in a fuck-the-world mood at the moment and dream recall seems to be part of that. Oh well, glad I got that off my chest.

ha ha yeah I was like that on friday....not sure if it was a good thing for the customers at work though

Hope it gets better!

Well, that kind of sounded like it might not...but I'm sure it will.

Let's see, what can take Bu's mind off of his problems...have you seen Malcolm McDowell lately? I just watched a Heros episode, and Mr. Linderman turned out to be Malcolm McDowell, and I went into an existential crisis at the sight of his white hair and wrinkled face. I shrieked, and started yelling at Tom that I didn't want to get old, which he found to be amusing rather than alarming (being 6 years younger than I, therefore not yet even 40).

At least neither you nor I are not yet as old as Malcolm McDowell, as, apparently, very few people are, except Keith Richards.

Ha yes Keith Richard looks like he's been 60 most of his life.

Haven't seen Malcolm McDowell for a few years. He had white hair when he was on a TV series here in the UK (can't remember the name but unlikely to make it to the US). Clockwork Orange seems a long time ago now.

Well I suppose things have got better. Well, recall has got better anyway as has the legibility of my nighttime scribbles.

Booted out of office

Our team at work thought we had good support from HQ. But a local manager had been speaking to them separately and he cam in to tell us that we had to leave the building as we're no longer required. He indicated that we would be removed by force if we didn't go.

So I was deciding what material to take and what to throw away. We seemed to have loads of old documents etc. The team were in good spirits and had a kind of confidence that this event was just a minor inconvenience. We piled gear into my car (an MPV) and drove off to our new "home".

At one point we had problems with the engine oil. It needed to be warmed up. Then a female DC (part of the team but not irl) had the idea of going into a chip shop and warming the oil in the food preparation area. I was impressed by her determination and pragmatism and felt that this team was really bonding well in a crisis. I though that I was a bit lumbering and stupid though.

We moved into this hut on what appeared to be waste land. We found some bricks or stones and set out an area to build a fire. It was shaped like two diamonds in front of the hut like this: <><>.

As I was shifting the bricks around and was beginning to wake up, the bricks became abstract animal shapes like one of those weird chess sets. I found I was arranging them into more of a square pattern (like a chessboard I suppose) and there were loads of them.

Auntie-social

I was sitting in the kitchen of my parents' home wearing a white shirt (not sure why this is important - perhaps it was like being at school). An aunt I didn't know I had arrived. She was younger than the aunt I do have (mother's sister) and had been estranged for a long time. She seemed very jolly and was having fun seemingly flirting with my father. I wondered if that was why she'd been kept out of our lives for so long.

It was my grandfather's funeral. For a moment the generations were a bit muddled and it was like the relationship between my father and the "aunt" was a fore-runner of how my sister is with my father. Like my father was both my grandfather and at the same time my aunt was his mother. But this dream wasn't about genealogy!

I filled a small rucksack with clothes and other essentials and was going to leave. I threw out some old shirts I didn't want any more.

More office antics

I'm sitting on the toilet which is in full view of the office and is at one side of it. I feel a little awkward about this - especially when the receptionist brushes past and then when it's time to use the bogroll. But somehow I rationalise that it must be OK.

Next we're back at the old office (from 2006 and earlier) and everyone is going into the meeting room for a meeting I hadn't realised was happening (this is not unusual). I saw my old boss there, going in with a resigned look on his face - like he didn't want to be there now he's not boss any more. I was sitting at my desk looking at a piece of equipment I'd forgotten I had. I must have been a bit lucid as I thought "Bugger this it's only a dream, I'll not go to the meeting". I looked around and the old boss was at a desk as was S, another colleague.

The piece of equipment was a present from my wife from a few years ago. It was like a camera and a radio in one and perhaps some other functions. But it wasn't a digital camera and I was wondering whether it was worth fixing it. Inside, however, there was a circuit board and rather a lot of AAA batteries mouldering away in there, some in their holders and some just lying there, stuck to the board with battery gunge. I started removing these but realised I'd removed a battery and battery holder together and was worried that it would be a bit more complicated to fix now, what with wires loose and everything.

Interpreter still taking time off

Your recall is good! I guess I succeeded in cheering you up. You're welcome.

I've had that dream too! OK, I'm definitely doing an RC every time I see, use, pass, etc. a bathroom. I've said that before...this time I'm doing it!
