I dreamt I was a Malkavian at school. I was doing some sort of an exam. We were all sitting in tight rows in a huge hall. I find my seat, there are two empty either side of me. The exam it to both explain how to do the assessment to younger students and perform an assessment on some sort of jelly lollies. There were three. One was raspberry, one was blackcurrant and one was lemon. For some reason the assessment sheet resembled the Particle Density test sheet from at work. I explain to the student next to me, only by now there are more students that I have to explain to, than I should have to, there should only be one student ether side, there are at least three to my left. I show them anyway, but one student’s paperwork hid my lollies, and I end up taking a bit out of the student opposite me’s lemon lolly. I apologised.

Then after I had completed the assessment, I walked away through the hall (huge chalk board at the front) and out the door. I become absolutely fascinated by the door and all the many many locks it has (there are at least 7 ranged up and down the door and each one is different). I realise the exam hall is in a huge mediaeval castle from the door and the door frame (it’s stone). I go back into the exam hall, only I’m now confused and twitchy and nervous and jumpy. I have no idea where I am supposed to be sitting. There’s a nice lad (I recognise the face from a guy at work, though I don’t know his name). He shows me where I am supposed to be, and everyone is very nice. I have a wildlife and hunting exam. It’s outside (yet still IN the hall somehow, unless I left the hall without realising). The exam is on the ground, with rough dirt. There are robots simulating a herd of grazers and a pack of predators in water. A predator grabs a herder, and drags it into the water. I look around and see a pond and another group of students. There’s one to one side, fishing in the pond which has lily pads in, is concrete and high back walls.

I had two dreams last night, both of them work related. The first was set at my current work place. I had been processing data in the office and for some reason I go out into the effective stress lab. There’s a crowd of people around the sample preparation bench. Andy is preparing one of the samples in the normal manner and there is a big block of soil (looks like the modeling clay straight from the bag with its edges trimmed off). Michael comes up with a tray of drinks (tea coffee etc) and puts it down on the workspace just in front of the big clay specimen. Andy promptly starts to tell Michael off for being so careless – he could have disturbed the sample (even though it really doesn’t look all that delicate to me). Phil and Nick meanwhile are preparing another sample on the floor of all places. Nick is doing the trimming on his knees (and he is behind the bench so I can’t see him from my perspective) while Phil stands over him, directing/watching what he is doing and making suggestions. The Roger walks out of his office on the way to the advanced lab for some reason, and I ask him what the test is about (as I have never seen a test on such a weird (and large) specimen.). Roger explains it to me very convincingly (I can even hear his tone of voice in the dream) and then goes off to do whatever he was going to do (he is holding onto some papers) while my response was, “Huh”.

The second dream was based in Preston and centered around my old job of care assistant. For some reason I was up in Preston (probably visiting mum as per my usual reason for being up there) and Apex has convinced me to do a shift (they must have been utterly desperate). So I have gone to this place (it looks like it’s where nanny’s old care home is sited – and we are going into a house that is what I would call the ‘gatehouse’ that is to the side of it to an assisted living accommodation. I have gotten a lift or am driving a car very much like mum’s and I have Chloe the cat with me. No idea why I had brought her up north with me. Anyway, mum turns up and she has Will (her house rabbit) with her (hutch and all). We therefore decide to introduce them. Interesting thing about it. It isn’t Chloe (who has proved herself a cold hard killer of all things rodent and avian) who attacked. Will bit her on the nose! She kept wanting to make friends, and he kept attacking her. Then I notice how odd the weather is getting. There has been a storm building for a while with dark grey clouds and wind etc…now I notice that there’s what looks like the funnel of a twister coming down from the clouds . It is BIG and very threatening looking and I can still /see/ the twisting vortex of the water vapour in the twisting wind. It keeps trying to set down, but never quite reaches the ground. But the clouds above are getting ever blacker and there are some curious black sparkles in it that I /think/ are stars – as if the storm is peeling back the atmosphere and revealing the utter black of space, punctuated by the stars (either that or it was dead black cloud (I mean it was so black it could have been sapping the light from the surroundings) with tiny lightning globs at random points. I keep thinking it would be a good idea to get in the car – or in the building, but the sight is really mesmerizing…and then I got woke up by Chloe using me as a springboard.

I had a somewhat disturbing dream last night. I am listening to a man who is explaining his reasons for committing a crime – the murder of a very important person that he refers to as ‘the great man’. He is also explaining how he is going to get out of sentencing for the murder. He says that they were doing something bad. ‘If it weren’t for the children’ he says to ‘the great man’ before stabbing him to death.

Then the dream shifted and he was in court, before the judges he admits his guilt and writes a letter then he collapses (purposely). One of the court staff rushes up and checks his pulse. Call an ambulance! is yelled. The paramedics come and he is lifted onto a stretcher but isn’t bound to it or anything. Then they put it in the ambulance. As people are talking to the ambulance crew (arguing about something) the trolley comes out of the ambulance silently and then sets off down the road with the man on it. He smiles at me eerily and then lies back. If it weren’t for the children…echoes back.

I had another slightly disturbing dream later on. A friend from my early school days Amanda and I are out walking. It’s stormy and windy, and she wants to go up a hill. I know bad things will happen. I don’t want to but she goes anyway running up it with much energy. A massive gust blows a tree down off the hill. It hits her hard in the head before rolling on. If it had been real life she would most certainly have been killed instantly. I race up to her. She has a very serious head injury. An older man comes to assist me. We perform brain surgery on her right there in the stormy muddy field on the hill and then she recovers in hospital.
