Dream Journal
I very rarely have, or remember my dreams. But when I do, I try to write them down. Here are some of them.
Attic / Fire Safety
I dreamt I was organising an attic, putting things up there and moving boxes around. Must have been some sort of hotel or house museum? The fire alarms went off, and for some reason I was in charge of fire safety so I had to guide everyone out. Must have been about 50 or so people. I escorted a fair few of them out, then had to walk around checking each room.
Self Driving School Run
I was an uncle. The kids, two girls, were about 5 - 7, and it was my first time dropping them off at school. This was the near future so self driving remotely piloted cars were a simple fact of life. It was also my father's first time piloting the car, remotely. I'm in the driver's seat, trying to keep the kids happy by chatting to them, while also keeping a close eye on dad's driving. Which is fine and safe, but he takes a wrong turn, and has to perform a 3 point turn using someone's driveway. So this guy opens the door, hes wearing tighty whiteys, a vest, and a dressing gown, he's bald, he looks like someone you'll find at any wetherspoons at 10am on a weekday. He gets all annoyed that I'm using his driveway, and I'm then in this strange position where I have to explain that while yes, I'm in the driver's seat of the car currently in your driveway, performing a 3 point turn, but im actually not driving. Understandable mistake to make and I can't be angry that you think I'm driving because it does look like it. So I have my head out the window trying to explain it, the car is reversing, he doesn't understand, dad is on the intercom complaining, the kids find it hilarious, I'm trying to perform a manual override. It's all quite a lot. Either way, manual override kicks in after we're out of the driveway, I get the kids to school, I make sure they're ok and ready and excited, and I tell them that sometimes life is dumb and weird and silly but you just gotta embrace that and do your best and be brave. They go off to school and I have to think about how to pitch the driving thing to dad and joe and sarah.
Stuck on a plane
Dreamed I was stuck on a plane before takeoff because the pilot was having a bit of a panic attack.
Repotting plants
Dreamed I repotted all my plants. Same plants, same pots, fresh soil. Woke up and did exactly that.
Another dream that's very similar but I'm in my childhood home, in the kitchen. The sun is coming in through the window, the kettle is boiled, all is well.
Mum at Sainsburys
Dreamed I was walking round sainos, looking at the canned foods, and mum comes round the corner just about to start her shopping trip. we have a little catch up, it's really lovely, then I realise oh I was about to come visit anyways after the shop. I decide to leave my basket on the shelf and i say 'fuck it shall we just go get a brew here' and we go to the cafe. I wake up just as I'm about to drink my tea.
no thank you officer
I'm walking in town and a police person approaches me and says 'exuse me sir' but I tell them no thanks I don't really want to chat or make friends right now but thanks though
Max is Armed
Max, one of the internet friends appears in my dream, tells me 'you should probably take a little time off work, and I have a gun' and I wake up and wonder why it was him who told me that.
