This dream seemed more like a computer game or a movie than anything else. I don’t think I was me in the dream, I seemed to be a totally different character. I was in some kind of an underground waterway and there were, for want of a better term, some bad guys chasing me.
I may have been a spy or something similar, I’m not all too sure. I knew that I had to get out of there fast because the would soon track me down. I had some kind of accomplice waiting in a canal boat for me so when I found the boat I jumped aboard, told the person to get us out of there and went below deck. Unfortunately the “bad guys” had been closer behind me than I thought and were following us in their own canal boat.
I should point out that neither of the canal boats behaved like they would in real life, both going as fast as motor boats through the underground waterways.
After a while, we rounded a corner and there was a small inlet leading off the main canal. We turned into it before the other boat came around the corner. We followed the inlet and after about a minute we rejoined the main canal but we were now behind the “bad guys”, who hadn’t noticed us turning off and were speeding ahead. We slowed right down to a crawl and let them get as far away from us as possible. We had finally lost them!
I have no idea what happened once we lost them.

I was going home from work and heading for the train. It was lashing rain though so I decided I’d get a bus to the train station. I was also carrying a gym bag that I was supposed to give to Fergal.
The bus was speeding around the place and it wasn’t stopping at any of the bus stops either. I realised I’d have to jump off if I was going to make my train as the bus would bring me in a totally different direction if I stayed on it much longer. I jumped off the bus and started running through the rain to the train station.
I had five minutes to make my train and I had no idea where I was supposed to meet Fergal. For some reason the train station I was running to was the Belfast train station. I heard my train pulling away and I knew I’d have to wait ages for the next one. I slowed down to a walk at this point and the rain started to clear. Next to the station, there was a park which had totally flooded with the rain. A guy was wading across what was now a lake and had rolled hs jeans up around his knees. I remember thinking that his legs must be freezing.
I don’t know if I ever gave Fergal his bag.

The setting reminded me of the Caribbean as seen in the Monkey Island series of computer games. Anyway I was in a little row-boat with a few other people who I can’t remember. We were approaching what appeared to be Monkey Island itself.
I was really nervous because we were expecting a fight or an ambush upon arrival. When we got off the boat though, the next thing I remember was being in this small apartment with Chris and some little girl. We were still hiding from whoever had been expected to ambush us earlier.
I had something that looked like a toy dart gun but was actually a real gun. I think we were trying to protect the little girl but I don’t know why. People kept knocking at the door so Chris would answer it while I’d cover him from out of view of the door. All the people calling were either salespeople or friends who we invited in. None of them seemed perturbed to see me standing there with a gun, perhaps because they thought it was just a toy.
I’m not sure if we moved or if the dream changed settings but after a while we were outside but there was also a shelter where loads of crates were stored. We may have been on an island of some kind because the only way to get to us was by crossing a bridge.
All the people from the cinema were moving the crates or bringing more crates. A guy from my course was there and he asked me why I was so on edge. He was standing with a ginger haired guy who seemed a bit hyper.
I told the two of them that “they” were coming for us and I had to protect the little girl. I also explained that my toy gun was real. The hyper guy didn’t seem to even take in what I said but the guy from college nodded and said he’d keep out of my way.
Suddenly I heard a load of footsteps running across the bridge. I got myself ready to face them but I was shaking. I calmed myself down enough to hold the gun steady. I could now see who was coming across the bridge and it was only more staff.
I let out my breath, which I hadn’t even realised I had been holding. No one seemed to have noticed how scared I’d been and I put the safety back on the gun. I leaned against one of the walls of the shelter as the relief at not having to shoot anyone or be shot at coursed through me. I looked up and a guy from work caught my eye and mouthed, “Well done”. I wanted to thank him but he was already gone.
Sorry about the lack of updates lately, I haven’t been remembering dreams at all the past few days.

Swimming Competition March 31, 2010

I can only remember the very end of this dream (a common trend lately it seems) but I was standing at the side of the local swimming pool watching some kind of competition. It was between people in my area and another pair of people. It’s difficult to describe them. There was a man and a woman and I’m not sure if they were celebrities or athletes or what but they were supposedly perfect. By perfect I mean that they were both perfectly toned and they were really good-looking.
Apparently they’d beaten our local team in whatever challenge or competition that was going on and this meant that they were better than us. They asked did anyone else want to challenge them but everyone was too intimidated. I got really annoyed with their superior attitudes so I said that I’d challenge them, even though I’m not that fit.
The woman laughed but agreed to compete against me. I dove into the pool and swam over beside her. The rules of the competition were that both of us had to go the length of the pool and back and the first one to touch the wall of the pool at the end would be the winner.
I was never great at swimming fast, even though I could swim for ages and I knew I’d never be able to win the race. Everyone was cheering for me as we lined up to start the race. As we pushed off from the wall I tried to keep up with the woman as best I could but she maintained a lead of about a head. I realised I’d have to do something or we’d all lose. As we turned to start the 2nd length I grabbed her around the waist so that she was pulling me along as she swam.
She tried to push me off but I wouldn’t let go and she kept swimming. I could see that we were nearing the wall at the end so I somehow used her back as a springboard and jumped towards the wall, firming planting my palm on it where everyone could see that I’d gotten there first.
She was disgusted and tried to claim that I had cheated. I pointed out to her that the rules were quite vague and didn’t actually forbid any of my actions as I “had gone the length of the pool”.
I’m not sure if that was the end of the competition, I have a feeling it wasn’t but that’s all I remember. I was really proud to have beaten the smug pair though.

Okay these are three really short dreams that I had and it didn’t seem worth it to post them all seperately.
The first one consisted of my friends and I being back in school. We were in our school uniforms and in my old English classroom. Joanne was wearing a red lacy bra over her school jumper because she said it was so nice she wanted everyone to see it. This didn’t seem like an odd thing to do in the dream, everyone was just like, “That is a really nice bra”.
The second dream I can only remember the end of. I was supposedly in my aunt and uncle’s house but it looked like my house. My little cousin who was about 10 (and who doesn’t exist in real life) didn’t want me to go back home. He said he had so much fun playing with me that I was never allowed leave. I told him that I had to go back home because people were missing me there too and I’d come visit him again soon.
The final dream was set on the beach but people were supposed to be going bowling. There was a girl there who was meant to be my friend but who I’ve never seen before in my life. I put my hand into the sea and it was freezing. My friend asked me how cold it was and I answered by putting my hand against her arm. She screamed at how cold it was and then dived into the sea. All of us still on the beach thought she was crazy.
That’s it for my dreams of the past few nights. Nothing much going on there really.

Chris and I were in Manchester but he had to go somewhere for the day so I was wandering around the place myself. It didn’t look anything like Manchester does in real life. Someone asked me did I know how to get to Old Trafford. I told them we were actually standing across the road from it and it was the door that was painted red and the door beside it led to one of the shopping centres.
Suddenly it was getting dark and I realised I was hungry. I didn’t know what time Chris would be back and I was trying to decide whether to wait for him or to go get pizza. I had wandered down to the docks (I’m aware Manchester isn’t really by the sea) and I wasn’t sure how to get to my favourite pizza restaurant from there.
Then, out of nowhere, Chris appeared. He was asking me what I was doing down at the docks and I said I had just kind of ended up here. I was going to go for pizza but I wasn’t sure of the way and it was getting dark so I was just about to go home. I asked him if he’d eaten and he said that he’d gotten subway. I was like, “Ugh so I could’ve gone for food ages ago”. Chris said that he knew the way to the restaurant though so we’d go for pizza anyway.
Then the dream changed entirely and I was working in some kind of office where I had to compose tunes. I’m not sure what the tunes were to be used for but it might have been advertisements. I had come up with a tune earlier but had forgotten to write it down. My deadline was the end of the day and I knew I had to come up with something.
I bumped into a guy I know from work on the stairs and we got talking about trying to compose our tunes. He said something that clicked in my head and made me remember my tune! It was called artificially hoping or fake hope or something like that. I remembered that I’d somehow made the beat from two fans in my office that clicked at different times. I ran back down the stairs to write it down while it was still in my head.
Having made my deadline I decided it was time for a snack (a very food orientated dream!) so I went to the food storeroom to get some sauce to put on the bag of pasta I had brought with me. The storeroom was really cold and a bit damp. I found the jar of sauce I wanted but every time I went to grab it, a drop of really cold condensation fell on my hand and caused me to withdraw my arm.
I tried looking around for another jar of it but I couldn’t find any. Then I couldn’t even find the original jar anywhere. Two guys came into the storeroom looking for something and they couldn’t find what they wanted either. It was really weird and eventually we all gave up.
I wasn’t even that hungry when I woke up despite dreaming about so much food! I do want pizza though…

Tidal Wave Magic January 18, 2010

I was in a house near a beach and we’d been hit by a tidal wave recently. We had decided to put protections in place to stop it from happening again but they weren’t physical protections, they were more like magical ones. I don’t know who else was there but we were in the bedroom that looked out onto the beach. We could see another tidal wave coming but we weren’t worried. Suddenly it crashed into the house and we could feel the entire house shaking. It somehow didn’t break the window though but we could see the water and debris rushing past.
There were loads of people staying in the house, I think there was a party going on. We asked a tidal wave protection expert to come over and tell us why we still got hit by it. When he was finished looking around he said that we had applied the right protection but it had been sabotaged. “Bowser or that shifty looking bear!” I thought. But the expert said that it would have to have been someone who people trusted. The protection had been broken because this person had gone around when everyone was asleep and cut their fingernails. I looked down at my hands and realised my nails were really short!
Peter was having his birthday party in the house the next night. Chris was also staying over but because he didn’t really know the people Peter had invited he had gone to bed (for some reason he was sleeping under the table in the next room to the party). I had said I’d stay at Peter’s party for a while but when I realised that one of them was the saboteur I didn’t feel comfortable there any longer (I have no idea how I knew this). I went into the next room to tell Chris about my realisation and noticed the Christmas decorations were still up. Chris asked me what I was going to do about the person trying to sabotage the house and I said I didn’t know.
There was more to the dream than just this, I vaguely remember walking after someone who was driving a red car but I don’t know when or how that fits in with the rest of the dream.

Cartoon Animals November 29, 2009

This whole dream was bright and colourful, like a kid’s cartoon show. I was an animal of some kind (I don’t think I’d been turned into one, it was more like this was my natural state) and I lived with all the other animals in a forest/jungle. The start of the dream is quite hazy but I remember a feeling of peace and happiness. This harmony was shattered though because the dragons and the wolves were going to have a war.
The dragons had always been outcasts who kept to themselves. I don’t know how they had fallen out with the wolves but the rest of us were not involved at all. These dragons weren’t huge like the dragons in cartoons, they were more like big lizards who stood on their back feet. They were probably about the size of a person, maybe smaller.
Everyone was apprehensive about the war because we were afraid we’d get dragged into it or our homes would be destroyed. For this reason, on the day of the first battle, we were all hiding underground. We were hiding under some wooden floorboards and we could look through the slits. We saw the armies of the dragons and the wolves approaching each other (the wolves also stood on their hind legs). At this point it all kicked off and we ran further away from the battle.
At some stage during the battle, an army of humans arrived. I don’t think they had any idea that there was already a war going on between the animals. I’m pretty sure they were just trying to invade whatever country we lived in. This caused everyone, wolves and dragons included, to run as far away as they could and as fast as they could from the humans. The smallest animals were the most scared as they knew the humans would trample on them without even noticing.
I think I was an animal that could swim because I was suddenly swimming in an underground lake with a frog I knew. We surfaced to find ourselves right under a wooden bridge the humans were running across. We had to keep ourselves perfectly still and not disturb the water in case they saw us. We could hear them shouting to each other and I saw them load their guns before running across the bridge.
That’s the last bit I remember but I know the dream was much longer and much more detailed than that.
