Those dreams are back

February 23rd, 2010 5 Comments »

Thanks to the sudden onset of SteveFlu (which is like ManFlu, only the source is known), those weird vivid dreams are back. Last night was bizarre so hold on, here goes: The first thing I remember is that I was staying in a posh hotel walking towards the lift. I was carrying a towel and my nose was bunged up and snotty (which reflects the real world… apart from the towel). I had been working at some event (TechEd???) and was wearing a crew T-shirt. I got in the lift and took it to my floor and got out, turning left. My room was at the end of the corridor on the right in the corner before a left hand turn. The walls are all marble black and shiny. I go in my room and as I shut the door, a maid turns up. She’s slim with dirty blonde hair, a bit minging, and has very very hairy arms. She starts talking to me all foreign (!?) until another maid turns up (large, old, like Nanny out of Duckula only human) and translates. She is suggesting I go to a bar down the road and gives me directions. Then I’m walking down a road with Rimmer and Kryton from Red Dwarf in front of me on our way to the bar. Apparently I’m staying with them at the hotel. We walk past a shop on our right which has a window display full of TVs. The TVs are all showing a stop-animation children’s program similar to Camberwick Green, only this show was set in a mining scenario with big mountains in the background. I chatted with someone about whether they could do that in 3D nowadays, if they’d be able to just re-master the old footage, or if they’d have to reanimate the whole program. Next thing I know I’m in my lounge (not my lounge, but I seemed to think it was my lounge) with an entire set for the show built up, mountains running up the walls. We (there were a whole crew with me) were setting up for a shot where an explosion happens in the mountains, so I was rigging an explosive charge up behind some rocks, running the fuse around the wall and in to the hallway where I would set it off. Once I lit the fuse, it burnt out quickly without running the whole length to the charge, so I had to go back in the set room to light it again. I lit it and stood back, the charge exploded and a rock went flying. Just at that moment Edward, the vampire from Twilight jumped out and grabbed the rock before it hit some girl in the head….

    Wow, your dreams are way more exiting than mine! It helps that you write so well about them. I especially like the end.

    If you are well enough to write all of that may I suggest that you do not have Steveflu!! I think that you should rename it “VerymildStevecold!!!!!!!

    Ok, how do you even remember all this stuff in so much detail?
    Are you worried there’ll be some dark hidden meaning? Because just maybe you’ve been overdoing the Lemsip and Sudafed! x

    No Lemsip involved! It’s only occasionally that I remember having these dreams, and it’s only because they are so vivid that it feels like I’m actually in the dream.. difficult to explain I guess, but they’re the sort of dreams that when you wake up you’re still not too sure if you are dreaming or not. I don’t think there’s a hidden meaning, I think there’s an obvious one that is my mind is a bit mental…

    ManFlu is not The Flu…. it’s a very different beast and not to be confused with the actual Flu.
