Dreams

I just got off the phone to my sister. We were laughing about something and I sang a line from a Prince record; "Could she be, the most beautiful girl in the world?" etc

Instantly my dream was broken and I remembered having dreamed of Prince, which is a little disturbing as I neither listen to his records or find him anything other than physically repulsive.

In my dream I was apparently quite friendly with Prince, who seemed nicer than I imagine him to be 'in real life'.

Anyway, it got me thinking about my dreams generally. Often I cannot remember them.

Sometimes they are great and good things happen...or are about to happen and then I wake up.

Sometimes I dream about someone and wake up a little bit in love with them. This happens to me a lot.

Even though you don't know me, I am not going to share these sleep crushes with you.

However, I will say that following one such dream, I began scouring the TV listings for opportunities to get my fix of a certain charismatic TV chef.

Yes, another sad but true moment.

But I am SO over you now Marco.

I never buy into any of that stuff about symbolism in dreams. I can pretty much see where MOST of my dreams come from. Don't ask me why Prince - it is still a little disturbing to me.

For instance, I dreamed I was doing a course recently. My sister has begun a course and is working VERY hard and achieving excellent results. Though in my sleep I had chosen a subject I know nothing of, or have any interest in (or had done any work for in my dream)- I can see where it came from.

I dream a LOT about fish. I don't believe this is because of any symbolism and I won't insult your intelligence by telling you what symbolic meaning fish have.

It's because I long to go back to the Maldives where I was 2 years ago today. I love it there. I would pretty much sell my own Gran to go back. - hence the profile pic. (not of me selling my Gran)

Sometimes your dreams will be cruel and do unkind things to you; like make you naked and have nothing but bin bags to wear...or the only toilet you can find has no door/glass door etc. Yes, I know it's so I don't wet the bed...

Tomorrow is a big day for me. I'd like to spend tonight swimming with fish or with Sam Worthington and not studying for a Sports Science degree.
