In Dreams They Come
My dreams have been bothering me somewhat recently so thought I would do as the shrinks say and write about them. As per usual with dreams they are difficult to encapsulate so they may not be particularly coherent sometimes it's just the feeling of the scene rather than the narrative that is troubling me but like sand through your fingers they slip away so easily when you wake.
last Saturday after a really good night at a party (not near a beach) I dreamt of sharks, walking amongst sharks on a platform between pools of deep vast water and I knew it was just a matter of time before one breached (query spelling on that). Their dorsal fins were circling and disappearing in the water and I was stuck trying to reach the other side waiting for the attack that was bound to happen. Would love to understand where these dreams come from, sometimes I think my dreams are more like sharks that prey on my sleeping mind but now I am being melodramatic.
Beyond the usual hospital ones where I am reliving my Xmas/New Year there have been two more this week that are still alive enough in my mind to resurrect.
Last night I had a busy night in my subconscious so can only assume something is troubling me that I have yet to resolve. Firstly I was dreaming of taking a friend to hospital but when I arrived they tried to admit us both, I explained that it was her that was ill but they told me I didn't look so hot either and admitted me. After that I remember being in a hospital gown asking to be discharged saying I felt fine but not being allowed to leave. Other than that all I remember is wheeling my friend in her wheelchair around the hospital both of us in gowns looking for the exit but getting confused by the conflicting signs.
This dream was followed in quick succession by a dream of house buying. Sounds quite inocuous but it was a little surreal. Admittedly we have had a lot of thuner and lightning this week but apparently we didn't have any last night so whether the weather (that really sounds strange to say) affected my dreams I don't know.
In my second dream I was out house hunting with a female friend I can't remember, we looked at this one house which was sat right on the beach; it was huge and beautiful with three floors to it. She really wanted to buy the place but it occourred to me that having had a flood myself and not being as close as this to the water that this house might also flood. We asked where the water came up to and it was very close to the boundary of the house even during normal tides. the clouds were heavy and dark gray low rumbles of thunder were in the distance and I told her that the steps that led down from the ebach to the basement would mean that that floor would flood very easily and it was a bad idea to buy. The wind was rising as it does before a storm and the waves were crashing louder on the shore. The beach was begining to look less and less appealing but she still really wanted the house. The owners said they wanted to show us something and that the house really wasn't in danger of flooding, so we followed them across the beach to the steps in the sand (somehow they were leading down still) they were very steep and I was holding on to the metal hand rail when the lightning really kicked off and started hitting over the shallows and even on the beach. we all let go of the hand rail at the same time, the husband slipped and fell away into the sand but we had to keep going as the storm grew even more intense. We could see the water reaching the house but at this point we were more concerned about getting away before it was too late. That's when the alarm went off.

And on that chirpy note I think that's enough. Looking back through the above analysis I think I am probably certifiable if they are accurate!
