Well I had a slightly disturbing dream last night…though the dream interpretation book says it all means positive stuff…

In the dream my friend Russ was acting oddly. Eventually he tells us (the L5R players) that he is dying, then he died. We were at the death bed. We saw the body (he looked asleep). It was all very dark, as if it was night. There was a wake, I comforted the figure my head labelled as his mother (I’ve never met her) in a very strange house, very much in the style of the house from Charmed TV series.

The dream diary says it’s all positive,

“To see your friends or relations dead signifies joy or good news”

The other dream I had, after waking up at about 4 in the morning, was about a group of Giraffes in a park. They were eating hay, and the keeper was shovelling the poo away. Some of these giraffes were going to zoos, some were being returned to the wild. It was sunny, then the dream shifted and I was in a car park on a hill with mum, overlooking a lovely lake. We have drinks.

I dreamt I was house hunting.  This wasn’t a very vivid dream.  It was at Keele University and needed a place to stay.  I was going along the street of Keele Village and find a really nice place, I remember there being toys and baking lessons.  Then the dream shifted and became quite dark.  There were night crawlers abroad, and my friend Sera was with me  we needed to find a lost town to rendezvous with someone

I had another Mage related dream, it was vivid while I slept, but I don’t remember the detail. It’s all dark and twisty in greys and dark colours, they might have been in the realm of the wraiths. We were travelling, still searching for Atlantis and make several stops but I don’t remember the others, which was most annoying.

I dreamt of a friendly black squirrel climbing all over me (Not unlike when my rabbit Willoughby is on the trawl for food) It’s after nuts. There’s a man and a woman out there with me (I get tie impression we are in a forest in the autumn). They are older than me but are friends.

There was another dream in the middle – Pat (my boss), some kids and I are in some kind of activity programme –We are in a van and get out. They cross some icy slick surface. Pat and I slip. I grab him. He loses traction, can’t get back up. I finger walk us to the edge.

Then the dream shifts and I in a comfortable, dark room. There’s a TV and a computer on, and two others in the room. I’m on the sofa with Kevin Bacon. He starts kissing me, and tickling me. I cant stop laughing.

Another well odd one in which Granddad (who’s been dead over ten years) was locked in the attic by nanny (dead for two years now bless her). Mum and nanny are sitting in the lounge at Hollin Head having afternoon tea and it’s all bright and light down there. I go up to the attic to see granddad. It’s an aladdin’s cave of boxes and interesting stuff. Grandad is sitting on his little camp bed in the corner. It’s dark and dim, and we chat. He is as I remember him – baaaad arthritis everywhere pretty much – how he got up the ladder in the first place is beyond me.. I help him sort stuff in the attic. He pulls something out that’s important a box or a kettle? I can’t remember but I don’t remember more.

I had an odd dream last night. I was in a hotel in the dream, and I’m staying in one of the rooms. My online friend Kath is on the ground floor of the same hotel. It’s quite dark in the hotel. I’m doing my archaeology course and have been chatting with Kath. She is telling me that she can’t give me any more chapters of her awesome fan fiction story (I’m her beta reader) ‘The Regicide’ for a while. I tell her ‘Well I’ll just have to be patient’. She says it’s never going to be finished. She has to look after her son.
[ETA: oddly enough, there was a two week hiatus between chapters she sent me – because her sons were ill!]

I dreamt of a burst water pipe- I was in the bathroom and turning the taps but it’s not the tap bit that spurts water, it’s the base. I panic and go into the main room, but I’m not believed, mum is very blasé about it. I eventually get someone to look at it, and they fix it – sort of any way. There’s still some dripping.
 
I had another fragment that was a Harry Potter dream. I was in dark in corridors, there was a potion needed, Ron Weasley was there as well as, Ron’s dad -he was hurt in a room that had fireballs, Harry braves the fireballs and gets the potion.
 
In another fragment I’m with a man and we go into a room, “Ray something he’s doing a presentation, a science thing,” I’m told. It’s all about women and their powers. I negotiate to take over the room as our home. I start arranging furniture when people have gone (there was disapproval that it was I and not my partner doing the negotiating) and decide where the bed will go (bed sofa) and table it was by the window, and say where a wall could be put up but shifted the sofa bed again later. We discuss children and he’s not sure it’s a good idea given the politics, I say something profound about when would it be a good time if you looked only at the politics. We go outside, something about learning Ukrainian or Russian as we are in the country. It’s nice outside – there’s a lake and gardens – like we were in a small basement room of a stately home.

I dream that I’m on a very dark dystopic kind of world, and that Mike and other gamers are there.  I’m running towards a building inside which is a massive plant monster (among other things).  As I am running up to the building I see some of the gamers dressed as musketeers swing in from the roof and through a window.  I run in the bottom entrance, and find a dying Chris (elf boy) slumped on the stairs. Though I don’t see any blood, he’s clasping his middle as if he’s been stabbed or very severely injured there.  I race on looking for Mike (who is for some reason important to me, and because of later things I suspect I was manifesting as his wife Nikki or something like that).  The battle is over when I finally reach the top floor where there is a big room in dark colours that’s being turned into a makeshift hospital (it looks a bit like the ballroom at Keele SU)   I go over to a group near one of the windows.  Mike’s left me a gift there, but there’s no sign of a body.  I think he’s dead, until he turns up next to me – he was sitting up on a ledge.  He laughs at me, and I caress his cheek (see why I think I’m manifesting as Nikki?) we lace our fingers and walk off.  I’m playing with this crystalline heart soap on a red ribbon and a red paper outer(which doesn’t cover the clear soap).  We are happy as we move into an area that’s more light, and has gold, cream and red colours.  It looks like a shop.

I don’t know /where/ my brain came up with this but it was an awesome dream and just a little bit disturbing towards the end.
So in the dream there are two twins on this world, which has suffered some disaster in the distant past. Most of the planet has been devastated and is a desert wasteland. Only around the poles is it still habitable, and there it is lush and green and there are lots of waterfalls and water and rock arches and bridges and caves. The people living here are the survivors of the cataclysm but have no memories of what caused it.
The twins are out exploring on the edge of the wasteland when they are either kidnapped or some other way meet other survivors of the cataclysm these people are mutated but do remember what caused it. They have very wood/rock like skin – a natural defence (or a protective body suit? I couldn’t tell). There was some evil powerful dude (I’m seeing a vague shadowy figure in long dark robes – the usual cliché) who I’m fairly certain is being seen in the girl twin’s dreams or visions, but she doesn’t understand the significance., who was trying to harness some sort of power. It went badly wrong and it took control of him, and damned near killed the planet. These ‘muted’ people are the descendants of whoever stopped the devastation taking the entire planet. But they couldn’t reverse the effects.
They take these twins to their home, which involves quite a long hike, through waterfalls and over rock ledges. At first it’s fine, but then one of the twins starts to ‘mutate’ and goes blind. She doesn’t like this especially as they come to a rock bridges. One of the ‘abductors’ guides her over and pulls her through another waterfall. She eventually gets her sight back, and morphs back into her own form. Apparently this was a test. She’s the one who will be able to reverse the destruction.
I’m not sure how she is convinced of this, but she makes the trip to the epicentre where it all began. It’s in a desert wasteland near to the equator. There are bright powerful lightning flashes coming down some distance away. She knows not to go there, she knows that the lightning is too dangerous. Not only because of natural lightning she’s seen at home, but also, when this lightning hits the ground, a force wave filled with dust sweeps the plain surrounding it. No, where she needs to go is a small cluster of buildings in a deserted village/town.
When she gets there there is a room with some weird cannisters attached to wires, and candles and a lighter that looks mostly broken there are also metal posts around the room. A lightning strike hits, and the dust blows through the room. She didn’t see the flash It worries her. She drops to the ground, thinking the metal posts will take the lightning blast if it chooses to hit the building. She has apparently been told what she needs to do, but the lightning makes things difficult for her. She crawls on her belly between the periodic sinister flashes and rumblings to connect all of the metal bozes and wires together. It’s difficult too – the metal is all magnetised, but she does eventually manage to attach all the wires to the boxes and the boxes to the posts. The room suddenly turns a livid creepy green. It’s dark suddenly too. She scrabbles around and finds the lighter. She lights it up, and wishes she hadn’t. The flame is red and black. She knows she needs to light the candles to complete her mission, and that the lighter is low on fuel. She crawls around low on the ground lighting the candles, some have one wick, one has three as if it’s been squidged together. Then Wentworth my baby bunny started having a go at his treat stick and woke me up.

I had a lot of fragments of dreams, which were quite vivid in themselves, but I didn’t remember much of them when it actually came to waking as per usual. I did remember a few more as I started to write this though.

So the main fragment I woke up remembering was, well, decidedly odd. I have the distinct impression that I was in the middle of some sort of alien invasion, or possibly market research (possibly both – you never know these days). Anyway, I was with a group of people, out in the open, we are rounded up. We are all pretty passive about it, as if it doesn’t matter, or we knew this was coming and planned to go along with it. A bus shows up and we get on it. It takes us somewhere (this is the bit I get the impression of the alien abduction) but I don’t remember much more of this fragment, except the area we were rounded up from was green – grassy with concrete and some scrubby bushes – so possibly an airport?

That sort of shifts and I am walking through a dark tunnel. I come out the other side into hilly country. It’s bright, and again, very green. There is a woman there, and a farm, with horses, some normal sized and some very, very tiny – smaller than fallabellas. I distinctly remember wanting one as a pet.

I had a fragment where I dreamt I had started my period. Wasn’t amused about the fact either. I’m usually not. It’s such an inconvenience!

Then there was the very random fragment where there is some sort of master – like a priest or martial arts master I think, and boats used to visit somewhere and then used as shelter from the weather. There’s a church, a hidden sanctuary that is cavern like in which there are lizards and mini dinsoaurs,surrounded by greenery – probably a tropical jungle and a sparkling throne. There’s a bad person, a woman with a sparkling key token that I need to protect and there are several around on the throne.

I also had a fragment where I took a walk on front like at Blackpool. It’s sunny and there are shops.
