Ferry - Sep. '22

 

I’m on a ferry type of boat, it's pretty small, somewhere in the British isles.  like the Isle of Man or the Lake District. Its the 80’s and I’m on holiday with my mum, dad & brother; I'm in my mid to late teens and have wondered off to explore the ship.  My family do not appear in this at all …

I explore the boat, it is quite small and compact and everyone is jovial and seem to know one-another. They all seem like locals, it's very busy and appear to be drunk and having a good time, it's daytime. the passengers who are all about the same age in their 20s and 30s are slightly older than me. I look around and enjoy being away from my family and the atmosphere. I'm a bit lost, then the boat docks, everyone is rushing around and leaving. It's busy and some people are just staying in the lounge, which is very dark, there seems to be entertainment of some sort.  

The boat raises up like in a canal lock and I climb up through the exterior metal bars and under a cover / tarpaulin to jump off the boat.

I see some police arriving and try to arrest some smartly dressed black people. A woman and a man,  another from their party, a large dark woman who is wearing a glittery stretch miniskirt intervenes but her dress becomes attached to a post on the docks and a bit of a farce ensues; I feel I should try & find my family and the car. I don't know where they are & I climb back down to where I thought the boat just was.  But it’s a different boat, it's a lot smaller more like a lifeboat.

Then:  I'm hanging around with a group who seem to have adopted me, this is in the smaller life boat that again is rising up.  Some people are looking for a drunken friend who's gone missing. As the boat raises up to the railings They All say and all make the same motions,  encouraging me to do the same. They put their thumb and forefinger together in a circle and put it around their right eyes and say ‘The eye of Horus’ they do this as a group to the people on the land.

I make my excuses and I climb back up, I jump off and then do this all over again a second time.  Someone from the port tries to help me / enquires what’s up..  He's friendly but has a sense of authority and I realise that I have my present day (Sony) mobile phone in my left jean jacket pocket. So decide to just call them to see where they are. I look at my phone and then I realise that they haven’t bothered to call me, to see where I am.  I wake up at that point.  Realising they don’t / didn’t really care.

I find myself dreaming that I’m in my bed… Aug '24

Dream times. Aug ‘24 In both these dreams I find myself dreaming that I’m in my bed, which I am…    1. I’m lying in bed, with a William Morris duvet cover, I’m waking up, slowly, and see the window is wide open. My foot/feet are sticking out of the duvet to the left of the double bed. I move my left foot down by 45 degrees and see that there are 2 purple birds sat perched next to the bed at foot level. Previously obscured by my feet. They are a pair, they look identical. Like pigeons crossed with parakeets. I try not to make any distractions as they might fly away. But hear in the corner behind me something moving about. I think it might be a cat, I do not own one at the moment, but keep an eye on the birds instead. I look closely at the birds and see a small insect / flea moving across its face / head. They are real. I’m still aware of the rummaging noise in the corner. 2. I’m in a quarry, we’ve just been moved there from another place which seemed quite normal. In this sp...

Notes from 2024 -2025

 Story Dream Notes -  2024               I’ve snuck into a neighbour’s house. It feels like I’m back in Lancashire and it’s a large 3 -level, victorian house. With completely different occupants to the ones I grew up next to. It’s an imaginary place really, with echoes of familiarity;  there is a missing wall so it's all open plan on all three levels. I'm on the top level, at the back where the kitchen was;  I'm watching the inhabitants sneakily from the top floor,  i think there is a TV and video and cushions on the floor, at some point, I decide to leave and show myself; I can’t remember why I was there and it feels awkward as I might get found out. I think I’m feeling sleepy.  I cannot find my shoes.  I make it to the ground floor and my ladder seems to be shrinking as I walk around it.  I am discovered by one of the young female neighbours, that I don’t recognise, and they are fine with me being there.  ...

Getting Tall

  https://deepimg.ai/ai-image-generator/ Under the bright daylight, I attend an outdoor theatre performance. The audience stands watching the actors, with wooden slats serving as a simple backdrop behind us to frame the performance space. The production shifts and we audience members are directed toward a new area for the next scene. The performers are improvising, and I'm expected to join in. As I interact with them, I become part of the show. During my participation, I suddenly grow enormous, standing tall above the small performers and the audience below. My body becomes  somewhat cartoonish—slightly grey, transparent and ghostlike. Strangely, no one notices this transformation. The change lasts only moments. I quickly return to normal size, back in my regular body, and continue participating in the performance as if the transformation has never happened.
