Only in dreams


Recently I've been having some quite strange dreams.

Actually they haven't been that strange but very vivid. Two nights ago, I think it involved this guy from my course taking a car that I owned (in the dream) and driving it onto a sort of tube/train combination. Somehow the car fitted in the tube carriage and then tube pulled away. I then proceed to get on the next tube. I remember the platform of station was really slanted, and I wasn't very happy about the whole situation. That's all I remember from that one.

Last night I'm pretty sure Jo Wiley or someone that looked a bit like her was in it. The person was younger in the dream than Jo Wiley. I think I had a thing for her in the dream and she liked me back. That wasn't really the main crux of the dream but that's all I can remember now. The only other thing I can think of is a house that I think most of the dream took place in. For the record I have no particular feelings either way about Jo Wiley. It was a pretty good dream though.

Some cool dude was once talking to me about keeping a dream book. So when you wake up you write down what you dreamt before you forget. It's a good idea especially as my dreams are much more interesting and satisfying (even if bad things are happening) than my woken life.

The only problem with that plan is straight after waking up isn't the best time to be writing. Still I think I'll give it a go, who knows maybe I'll end up with a great book of dreams in a couple of weeks. Then I can get published. I won't have to look for a job any more, and eventually the book will get made into a film that I'd co-direct with Richard Linklater and cast Winona Ryder. We'd obviously get married soon after the film wrapped and live happily ever after.

You can't lose with dreams.
