Free Running Robin

I was taking part in a race last night in my dream. The starting line was at a town hall, in a town I didn't recognize. The race was a bit hazy, but the finishing line was by the big lake at Tilgate park. My time was 3 minutes 30 which was really good considering I'm not a particularly strong runner.

After the race me and Robin were doing some running by. A tree when I jumped up and started running up higher through the tree. As I came to the other side of the tree the branches started to give way and gently lowered down to the ground to let me continue running.

I looked back to see if Robin could do the same "running through the tree" which I had just performed. It started off well, but the branches were ready to give way too soon and a big branch snapped and he fell out of the tree.

Long and overdue post

I stopped keeping a record of my dreams as the first chance I got to put "pen to paper" was at lunchtime while at work. The iPhone now makes it much easier for me to blog while still in bed or on the train.

Since this is my first post in a while my recollection of my dream is some what very hazy with a lot of holes.

1) I remember wearing a purple jacket with a black collared shirt underneath, most people were wearing similar jackets at the time so there was nothing unusual with his. What was strange though was the fact that I was late for work at the video shop.

2) I was helping Liz with code for a widget for Richard Baxter.

3) Case study on forecasts. All the lines were pointing in the right direction

Big fight breaks out and ends up in Pluto

I was leaving the my house in Tilgate, to go to Furnace Green shop. On the way past Tilgate shop there where two gangs, a gang on each side of the main road (Ashdown Drive). While me and James were walking through the fight broke out, and we got caught in the middle. Some how we managed to break out and get to furnace green.

Some how we managed to end up at Hazelwick School and the fight that started in Tilgate had moved to Three Bridges. Now they where using laser guns that stunned people. Doug was with me this time. We where hidden by boxes outside the school and trying to get in. I stepped out not making sure the coast was clear and Doug told me take cover, then I dived to the ground so I would not get shot. Doug took the bullet.

I pretended to be stunned while the angry mob came over and could see that people where being beamed in to space. I knew this because I could see people being carried by a beam into the sky. While this was happening to me I think I could feel myself floating and it all went dark, this was the space part, then it went cold to say that I landed on ice. The first thing that came to my mind was that I was on a different planet. But could have easily been the ice cave used in Super Man.

That was a strange dream. I must remember that when I'm in tilgate to do a reality check. Hopefully this will trigger the lucid dream.

What a long dream!

The dream that I had last night seemed to last ages, even to the point where I was going to have a nap in the dream.

The dream started off walking around the food court in the county mall Crawley. I went to Burger King where i used to work and said hello to every one that I used to work with. Even sue was there, in fact she was the only person I remember from the dream.
I was looking around the kitchen and the floor gave way and I fell into a hole. I was stuck in a hole that was a tube shape. From what I gathered from the rest of the dream I remain stuck in the hole and the rest of the dream continues in my head while I'm stuck in the hole.

I was standing in a white room, there was just the one door in front of me which I walked through. Entering the door I came to a room which resembled a studio flat (the living room and kitchen where one). There were people asleep on the sofa and the kitchen looked like it needed cleaning (what is it with me and cleaning in my dreams?) While I was doing the washing up and nibbled on a bit of dry meat that was on the side. It could have been some jamon, or chorizo, but i cant remember. All I know was it was dry and salty.

After looking round I realised that this was a big house in Tilgate next to the swings. Looking from the top window you could see the swings that used to play when I was younger. There where kids playing, looking quite muddy and there was a small game of football going on which Rob Halard was reffing.

The window that I was observing this from was a bed room. I had in my mind that i was going to bed soon, but then my alarm woke me up.

When I woke up I thought that I hadn't been to sleep yet but realised that it was all a dream.

Getting away from monsters

This is the second time that I realised that i was dreaming in my sleep. Cant believe its happed twice so quickly! This is very exciting for me, but I cant currently control when i realise yet.

The dream involved being in a hotel of some sort, I cant remember where it was, there where monsters or some sort of threat coming in to the hotel. All the people that where with us ran to the top of the building and on the top floor there was a ladder that lead to a safe room. But only the top three rungs where there, the rest of the ladder was broken.

I managed to pull myself up without any problem. At that moment i realised i was super strong and dreaming!! On relising this I was waiting for erverything to look super real and vivid, but it didn't happen then lost the dream.

Cant wait for next time.

Wow I knew I was dreaming

It happened last night when I was staying in Leeds . There was nothing unusual about the day apart from I wasn't sleeping in my own bed.

I was staying in travel lodge and noticed that there where two pictures hung up on the wall and the theme was about dreams. The pictures where of someone asleep and there was some writing that accompanied the picture. I would not be able to tell you what the writing said though.

My room was also next to a railway track, so I was expecting that this may disturb my sleep, but found that i had a really good relaxing sleep. So much so that I could barley remember my dream.

All I remember was that I was at a petrol station and that there was some commotion, I realised that this was a bit strange and said to myself that I was dreaming!!

At that moment I woke up straight away. Doh!!! The dream did not become more vivid as I have read, I just woke up straight after realising this.

The first step has now been reached and all I can do is try to prolong the lucid periods of my dreams.

Vampire in the Kitchen

This is another dream that started out at work, but then went on a crazy journey to other places.

At the back of the kitchen at work there was a door that is not usually there, I was asked to get more coffee and it was stored behind that door.

The door lead to a pantry which had loads of different foods stacked up. Some of the tins where opened and I could see stuff like pasta with green Herby bit in. I tried it and it tasted good, there whee a few more different thing that I tried out, but there was no coffee. Al I could see was another door. After I had entered the door it lead into a cellar which was dark and full of barrels. I could see the coffee and went to fetch it. Some barrels fell over and I knew something was there. I got a broom and tried poking around in the dark to see if I could see what made the noise. Then I was pushed over by something invisible and I ran. The force that had pushed me over then followed me out the cellar into work and was flying around the room. It was a huge figure, much larger than the average human being. This caused every one to run out.

The rest of the dream after that went a bit hazy after that but it just involved running from room to room trying to hide from it and not get caught. At some point JB joined me and he helped me not get caught.

Bring back lost campaigns

It was late in the afternoon and I was at work, the first strange thing I noticed was Amanda, but doesn't she live in Bristol? Any way it got to about 4:15 and I decided to take a break so I went out for a walk by the beach.

I was sat on a stone looking out to the sea, and before I knew it it was 5:15, i didn't know if I had fallen asleep or what, but the last hour had flown by. I got to work and Nils wanted to chat with me. He had spoken to every one and now was my turn.

The discussion seemed to be about lost campaigns and that we should devise a strategy that one year after clients had left that we should approach them again with a new strategy hoping that they would come back. All of my campaigns that have terminated where not because of they where unhappy with the work done, but because of commercial reasons which where out of our control. Also I did not have any clients leave in the past 12 months. We had a few ideas about other people and then finished the meeting.

I was walking back home, but I did not need the train? The streets I walked down I did not recognise, although I did not feel lost. I eventually got home.
