Mark, Tobby. Nope, no pregnancy as far as I'm aware. The feeling was more about being more confident bringing up young children than when I was actually doing it.

Agreed, Raklet. After 17 years of marriage I can safely say it's never been anything like that.

Yes Moonbeam, it's cold.

(Still in my travels)

Spilling the beans

"5 refs at diploma" (no, I don't know what that meant either)

A little boy is throwing tins of beans around a shop. Rick is being a pest.

I'm now looking under a large tarpaulin cover and there are some old boxes underneath. My eldest daughter finds in one box an elaborate letter with autumnal illustrations on it addressed to her. It's a letter by someone expressing their infatuation and undying love.

I suspect the last part is how I feel about my daughter but find hard to express. Wondering also if the little boy throwing bean tins is my dream-metaphor of "spilling the beans". Dunno if this is a Brit thing but it means revealing secrets especially regarding owning up to doing something.

Sore tooth

My tooth is sore where I have a bridge fitted. I've been using some special floss (not irl) that should have cleaned the area but it seems to have become infected.

Some pdp here as I took a friend to the dentist to get a tooth removed. Also aware that I need to get some of this floss (note to self).

Fast canal boat

I'm giving 2 elderly women a lift in my car. I've picked them up at a quayside but now see my children and my friend G needing to get in but there's no space. They wait by the water for me to return.

Now the car has become a boat and the road a canal. I'm alone in the boat and traveling very fast in the direction of the water flow. The canal appears to be running roughly along the M1 southwards and is mainly below ground and I get the feeling of gong between rooms, caves and chambers. I realise I'd missed a turn-off (somewhere near the M6) and am fast approaching London.

In the water 2 chavs are fighting. One is a bit more intelligent than the other and I was able to exchange pleasantries and he gave me directions. I also notice the water is dirty with turds floating in it like a sewer.

Earlier in the day I had my mother in law and a friend's mother in the car so that seems to be how the dream started.

A fast boat on dark, dirty water was more fun than it sounds. I did have the feeling of exploring my thoughts and perhaps these underground passages were a journet through my mind. All I found out is that it can be dirty and exciting at the same time.

Easyjet

I'm waiting with my family in a long queue to board a flight to Luton. It's taking ages and I let my youngest go off for a short while.

Now the queue has started moving quickly and I'm at the front and he's not back. I explain to the Easyjet rep that he's on his way.

The flight is now boarding and I can see people moving along a corridor opposite. I see him and run him to the corridor past two women in Easyjet gear. I explain again and they let him through even though he didn;t have a boarding pass.

I have my bike with me and am trying to negotiate getting in onto the bus. Not sure if the plane has become a bus or if this is the bus to the plane.

Later I'm on the plane and know that I've lost a child. For some reason I hope it's my son but know in my heart it's my eldest daughter.

Some of this dream is like the usual unprepared-before-travelling dreams I've been having since I can remember. Also some pdp from a story from a friend M sho said he blagged his way onto a train because his partner took his ticket and caught an earlier train (true). But the ending reveals something of what I project onto two of my children. Of course both are dear to me but there's something additionally special I associate with my daughter that is really part of my own psyche. Probably something along the lines of looking for the lost (opposite sex) part of ones self in others.

The kinky side of BU surfaces.....

What is "blagged"?

Ha! Joking aside, I wonder if there were sexual connotations to the dream. According to Freud it's all sexual anyhow.

Is this another Brit word? Basically it means convincing someone you're right when usually you'd be wrong - e.g. you've lost your ticket and come out with a convincing story as to why you should be allowed through.

Spike Milligan

I was part of a celebrity game show where the commedian Spike Milligan could win a Sinclair C5. He was asked if it was a prize he wanted and he said "Oh, yes." His challenge involved driving a train.

Next thing I know I'm on one of those trains in kiddies' parks where each person sits on top of a carriage. Spike was at the front and I was second. I guess there were 9 or 10 carriages. We're going fast through some rural paths and lanes. Then we come to a downward flight of steps. He decides to take the train down the steps and manages this effortlessly.

Then we come to another flight of steps. These look worse and he decides at the last second to swing the train around. Not a problem for him or me but the people at the back are swung around in a huge arc over the steps landing on the top step on the far side from where they started.

Student politics

I'm in a student residence I don't recognise. I seem to be on a course again and I'm wearing chav clothes. Whilst chatting to other students in a bedroom, a female student comes in canvasing support for the Labour party. We chat briefly. I say I actually stay in the hall next door then I say "that's all very interesting but the Tories are going to win". She leaves the room looking disappointed.

I feel I've upset her so I go after her (she seemed quite nice) hoping to explain that although my politics are like hers, I still don't believe Labour will win. Anyway I don't see her again and carry on walking through another door.

I'm now in the sports hall of the university, looking down on the main hall with its markings from a balcony. I can hear drums ahead so I keep walking. Through a pair of glass doord I can now see down into an adjoining room where a band is setting up. On the wall of the corridor (i.e. not the balcony side) there are lots of posters advertising events. I try and find a band I'd like to see but don't recognise any of the names,

I can't make any sense of either of these dreams. There's a train in the first one but not a proper train. And it's driven by a comedian.

The second dream felt like I was exploring somewhere. Noot sure why I was so dismissing of the young woman. "You're going to lose" isn't the best chat-up line I've ever used in dreams or out of them.

(Still traveling)

cool dreams man! I laughed that there was another train in your dreams ha ha

for you comments on politics ha ha

Business in Dundee

I'm visiting an office in Dundee (seemingly the Scottish Mutual insurance company which no longer exists irl and was in Glasgow anyway). I go to the second or third floor knowing I need to meet someone. It's a young woman but she isn't there. So I get back to the lift and I see her in the lift.

Her name is Gaynor and she's younger than me. I was hoping I'd find her attractive but she was very immature and had a girly voice. I don't recally why I needed to see her exactly.

Anyway there was also a young man there called Scott. Dunno why.

I'm now in the tea room and it's 10 to 10. My old boss is at the table looking rather tired. Now 3 men from Scottish Mutual are there too. They're older than me - perhaps early 50s - and looking rather worse for wear although they're wearing smart suits.

The important question is:
"What's it like helping Swiss to fall out of bed?"

In quite a few dreams I seem to be searching for a woman but never really find her. This one clearly didn't fit my ideal type!

The second half of the dream was more dull. The time on the clock - 10 to 10 - must have some meaning. 10 isn't a number I often dream of. 10 commandments? Dunno.

The last line is very strange. I think it's connected to money. As in Swiss banks. And the "fall out of bed" part is a metaphor for going wrong. Like there's some satisfaction with these guys causing their competitors to suffer financial losses. I can understand that. I have great satisfaction to see the mighty fall (but am not proud of this) but will not be the one to make it happen.

What is your ideal type? I would love to hear all about it.

More self-confident that the one in this dream. My dream-woman is young, strong, and with a simple life. She is softly but confidently spoken. Her appearance is medium-height with short blond hair, a little untidy. And I'm special to her as she is to me.

Floating hands

This dream was probably partly inspired by Mark's floating teeth

I was in a field and I saw someone I knew from school (MW). He was running around angrily as if ready to hit someone. Then I saw that there was just his hands, with gloves on. And the hands were sparring like a boxer.

Then another person appears on the scene who was another school acquaintance (JW). He runs into the hands and the two kind of become one and he does this boxing thing with the gloves.

It now gets rather vague as I don't understand my notes very well.

I seem to be working near to this field. It feels like a familiar place. Perhaps somewhere I used to play.

Last thing I know I'm cycling.

I can't get any meaning from the actions in this dream. However the characters I notice are both boys I knew but didn't like much. And their last names begin with W. This is significant as my last name begins with T and they appeared after me in the school register. Something seems to be suggesting that I consider these two "below me".

As far as my inner workings go, I do seem to have a part of me that I don't respect very much. This seems to be an angry part that won't allow itself to behave angrily. I think this is what I was projecting onto these DCs.

Shame that girl wasnt what you wanted, although I must be honest I dont much like that girly thing either

EDIT: sorry looks like I missed your last post there.

I bet the random boxing hands was a strange sight! how annoying is it when our notes make no sense

Very annoying. And these were doubly annoying as I'd written one line on top of another

Some fragments

A restless night with many awakenings. Sometimes I bothered to write down the dream.

- A cat with no front paws running along a fence. It looked more like a meerkat in its posture but it's head and body were definitely a puss.

- "Wall's trampolines". Presenting a new ice-cream sensation. These "trampolines" are flat ice-cream filled chocolate pancakes. Rectangular in shape they resemble a squashed choc-ice. £8.70 for a box.

- I'm in bed with an old woman. We're supposed to have sex and I'm thinking about how I came to be here. My children seem happy for me that I've found someone. Oh well, she's overweight but doesn't look that bad. And I must like her. Presumably. Oh well, here goes. As I start to move, she moves quicker and gets on top of me. At this point I see she's changed into my wife and I wake up.

The third fragment is a little worrying. Where have my ideal women all gone. Two nights ago I had a tryst with a woman who reminded me of "my little pony". Now I find Grandma in bed. I really need to connect with my inner female self more. We seem to have drifted apart lately and I think this is a type of "revenge" (in an unconscious kind of way).

No ideas about the first two dreams. Just random fragments I think.

A cat without front paws? How can it run?
Maybe it was my karate-kitten
BTW: there's a LOT of cat dreams in DJs around here lately! (might be because of the cat-pictures that are flooding DV)

Ohhh, that sounds great! Would love to taste one!

Hahaha, you wanted dream-sex? This is what you're gonna get

Hmm, what can you do? I recommend some chocolate.

Yeah, chocolate works fine for the inner female.
I tried a 30-day-without-chocolate, but already failed on the 3rd day

What would you want to wake up for? It should have been a relief to see your wife and then you could slip into some fun.

that cat must have been one hell of a sight!!

mmmmm choc ice lol that was a random fragment with the trampoline

ha ha ha that old woman dream is really funny lol maybe the next time you have a woman who is not your ideal you should try to "love" her and maybe your ideal woman will come back

The cat had back legs. Running presented it with no trouble.
I know what you mean about cat pictures. And can names too. Why are there so many people (not necessarily on this forum) called <something>kitty?

Yes they looked tasty. Yet another good invention in my dreams that will never hit the shelves.

Yes, I could give in to a chocolate exclusion diet. That would get in touch with my feminine side . Basically I need to pay more attention to feelings I think.

Yes, lots of ifs and buts. But not the kind of dream sex I had in mind
(Interesting thought Mark - would she have turned into a supermodel if I'd have gone through with it?
Would you have shagged her?)
