A Television Career

I am in a large room. The curtains are closed the are three or four beds in the room. The Golden Girls are each there. They are each trying to get to sleep. I know they are on my team. I have told them how bad my memory is and what I need to do to compensate for it. (Are we on a quiz? Or maybe I‘m an actress) I can see Rose the most clearly. I go outside I am walking through crowds. I don’t know where I’m going. Rose keeps appearing in front of me, like a vision, she’s not really there.

There is a stage, with different acts gathered on it. I think it is a talent contest. There are some girls who are pole dancers. They remind me of the group that was on the x-factor last year. The blond one is virtually naked, she is wearing nothing except something on her chest, but it doesn’t cover anything. A few of the others are almost decent. I am amazed how she can stand there not the least bit self-conscious. There is a presenter with a microphone interviewing them.

Outside the School Gate

I am sitting on the pavement near to the entrance of my old secondary school. I am doing some work, drawing or writing. I don’t know why I’ve chosen to do it sitting on the pavement. People are walking around me. A coach pulls up, some children get on and it drives away. A muslim girl smiles at me, she is very young and heavily pregnant. We chat a bit. I like her. She is walking with her family. Her mum and dad catch up and she introduces them to me and I shake hands with them, they are nice and friendly. Then they carry on.

More Family Disagreements

I dreamt of my mum. She is standing in the kitchen, she looks taller than she was. She is standing at the cooker stirring a saucepan. She and my dad are having a disagreement. She marches out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

Everyone is at the restaurant. L. and C. are sitting opposite each other at the same table. My dad is sitting at the next table. It is a large room, there are lots of guests. I’m not sure why my dad has organised such a big gathering.

I think I am standing outside, near to the restaurant. My dad is with me. Something is happening that I need to tell him. There are some dodgy looking men hanging about. There is a truck near by.

I walk into a hall, there is a stage at one end. There is furniture lying about and lots of disgruntled people. I tell them we should take the furniture. It looks like an auction. My dad is hesitant. I’m not sure why, maybe it isn’t ours to take, but there is a lorry outside. I can see a chest of drawers lying on its side, it is made of real wood, it looks antique. I take something out to the lorry and some of the men follow my example.

A Wedding Present

I am in a house. It is night, my sister C. is there. She is unhappy about something. I find her sitting on the kitchen floor smoking. I’m trying to persuade her to stop but she wont. She is talking about getting a present. Either Mum is there or will be there or has an opinion about something. We are in a shop. There is a sale on. We both buy something. I have brought something on a clothes hanger. Clair is giving me a funny look, I’m not sure what I’ve done. When we get back to the house she locks me out. The key looks like the same key in my dream last night - the red round one to my dads back door.

We are in a church. My dad and Ch. Are smiling. Ch. Is wearing a grey shiny suit. Clair is upset. I don’t know what is going on. It looks like a wedding.

Escape to the Country

I am walking through the countryside. There is a woman I meet with dark hair. She looks a bit like M.. I have just moved here and am walking through the village, meeting different couples. I went down one cul-de-sac and it looked like there was a party going on inside. It looks like quite a sophisticated party with wine glasses and the people are all dressed up. On the way to this woman’s house I meet one couple. The lady has blonde hair and is wearing a black fur coat. The man looks older than her, he has grey hair. I feel uneasy, I don’t like it here. This woman is dressed down, her house looks like a farm. There is a dog, I don’t think he’s very happy though. She calls to him. I don’t think she wants me to stroke him. I carry on walking.

I am back in the countryside. I am very concerned about the animals I see. It all feels a bit like Stepford Wives, something is going on but everything looks normal. Maybe the animals can sense what’s going on. There is a big official governmental gathering going on at someone’s house. I think they must be a politician. There are lots of security men everywhere and big cars with flags stuck to their bonnets. I am with a group of people, it all feels very ‘Matrix’ like. I’m not sure what we are there to do but I have a gun. There are two of us who are new, we are with this tall lad in a tatty looking jumper. I know that we are going to be caught and that the security men have spotted us but we’re going to see how far we can get anyway.
