Odd dreams
Very odd last night -
I was in a really rough pub in a 'dream version' of Reading i.e. geography not quite right.
Decided to leave and was walking towards the station. Turned round and a large office block collapsed. Not an explosion , a tilt forwards and slide into the ground. I had ducked behind a car. Lots of screaming etc
Then I woke up.
What can it all mean ?! Any Freudian analysts out there? I don't normally get bad nightmares

Re: Odd dreams
I regard sleep dreams as a by-product of the food and drink eaten during the previous day(s) and possibly not yet digested. Anything else is in my opinion merely human beings wishfully thinking to find meanings in anything.
Long ago, I wrote to the sleep research laboratories and asked if anyone had done any research into the link between food and drink and sleep dreaming. None apparently. Guess they don''t get funding.
Another possibility is that when we are asleep, we can become a rubbish dump for all manner of entities (such as bacteria) whose only means of expression is to project in the form of imagery.

Re: Odd dreams
Simple. It was last Saturday's earthquake, which you attributed (wrongly) to your hangover.
There's a perfectlylogical explanation. Your body's running five days late. Last Saturday's attack of the trembles really was due to a hangover, but from the preceding Monday. And this dream was the after-shock from Saturday's quake in Swansea.
Now the bad news. It's Wednesday.

I need to reset my internal clocks. Let me check the manual. I think it's timer_T3212 set=0 from the command line

Re: Odd dreams
In my recurring dream (nightmare really) I work in an office in a managerial position, just landed there, first day, and I don't have a clue what to do but what really bothers me in the dream is that I think about future years in that job and it fills me with utter despair and dread. I look at the piling paper and spreadsheets and I feel very depressed. It's Friday and I think about the coming Monday.
Then I wake up and smile in relief.

Re: Odd dreams
My (occasionally) recurring dream is that I'm back in the classroom again, in my mid-twenties and already realising that another forty years in the teaching profession was more than my poor tortured frame was likely to be able to withstand.
Then, one day, a kid got up and attacked me with a table leg in class. (And sadly, that wasn't just the dream, it really happened.) And the next week I got a job doing something else. Life's been good ever since. The flashbacks are there to remind me of just how good.

No, is it available in bottles, or just draught?

Ah yes, too conscientious, that's a common problem that I've managed to avoid. 30 years of slacking, and now hoping for a nice redundancy package

Re: Odd dreams
I went to see King Kong (1976) with my dad, I must've been in my early 40's when I finally stopped seeing the occasional dream where a big gorilla would chase me through a jungle or some city streets.
I still have some vivid and lucid memories of dreams I had when I was a 6 year-old - I think the earliest one was when I was in a teepee with my kindergarten teacher and she was dressed as an (American) Indian woman...there was an old man who was the Apache chief Cochise...a real person from history...but he corrected me that it is pronounced "Au-cheese". [expletive deleted] of course but my first linguistic revelation nevertheless.
I still remember a few dreams I saw many decades ago, I seem to remember them more clearly than what I saw last night or week ago.

Re: Odd dreams
Cochise??
Good track, with more than a whiff of Led Zep about it (almost a randomised Whole Lotta Love)
