The interrupted anecdote

I was on a train in London with mother, nan and grandad. The train we were on wasn’t going to London Euston, so we had to get off and get the tube. Rather than try and get tickets from the self service machine, I went to the counter. He woman printed out the tickets and…

The mouldy old chicken sandwich

I was on holiday with Mike and I can’t remember what happened, but I said I’d go home and meet him later. I was gliding down College Road – an ability I often seem to have in dreams – when I saw an indoor market. I went in to have a look. It was packed…

The Mind of a Creative Thinker

I was looking after a house for some friends. It was a big house with lots of rooms and looked quite up market. I think some other people were there with me, but they’d all gone to bed. I didn’t have a bed so I settled on the stairs before moving to the sofa. Later…

Skating in slippers

Had a dream in which I was in Sutton with Laura from work. I was heading to an appointment but said I didn’t have a clue how to get there. I looked it up on my phone and it was actually in Lichfield. I called a taxi and then called the place I was going…

The poisoned hospital

Had a dream that mother and I were visiting someone in a hotel. We arrived on the right floor and I saw a bunch of old people (mostly in wheelchairs) sat around in a circle. We waited for mother’s friend and I saw a little box that contained a piano. I couldn’t help myself and…

The billennial bridge

Had a dream in which I was at a college by a beach. They’d recently renovated the communal area with a few small touches. For example, there was a gravel area which they’d added little roads into and a Scalextric into. I’d made friends with a kid in a wheelchair and another kid. We went…

Le rêve des frites

Had a bit of a weird dream last night, because in the dream I kept waking up and it got confusing as to which parts were dreams… even though it all was. It started off I was in France with mother. We went to a chip shop and got some chips to take away, but…

Purple Girl

Had a long dream last night. It started off that I was on a ‘worldwide cruise’ with my family. As we were going along, I noticed what they called a medieval village. It was actually a row of houses that had been painted in bright colours. I took a photo so that I could show…

Say cheese ma’am

Had a dream last night where I was at work. When I got there, my boss, Dave, wasn’t there, but there were about 15 people in there. They were all young, about my age, and dressed in a school uniform with a blue badge. Apparently he’d hired loads of people and they’d all actually turned…

Gimme Some Dreamin’

Had a dream last night where I was working in an office with my old colleagues from Security Media – mainly a girl called Kirsty and the boss, Philip – and my Laura from my current job. I was working on a design for something when Laura came in. She saw I was sitting at…
