Sometimes I Climb the Walls and Lie on the Ceiling
Intro to the Repost: I was looking for a specific dream in my archives to repost because it ties in with the theme of Hallowe'en, but then I found this one. I'd forgotten about it. This one ties in with a few things I've been thinking and writing about recently. I've been messing around with... Continue Reading →
[This is a repost of a post published in February 2015. It's amusing reading what I wrote back then, especially as I know what happened next (even though some of it is now a blur in the archive of memory). I did buy a house, and strangely enough I sometimes refer to this house as... Continue Reading →
[Please note: This is a repost of a post published in November 2013. Wow, what a cool dream! And since before I reread this post, I'd reread several of the other posts I'd written in November 2013, this dream is particularly meaningful, showing how my blogging was affecting my psyche, helping me to shift out...

Do you ever have dreams which you can't explain to yourself... ones which don't seem to have any connection to anything you were thinking about or feeling before you fell asleep, which don't appear to connect to what you experienced, witnessed, noticed, saw, what had an impact upon you, your conscious or subconscious, during the...

One of the first things Manny said to me when I met him was - I have only three years to live. That was a rather grim (reaper) introduction. . Paul Gustave Dore - Raven . However he didn't seem that bothered about his appointment in Samarra. So why should I be bothered by it,... Continue Reading →
Since I am completely spaced out at the moment and can’t hold a thought in my mind long enough to think it, I’m sharing an old post about a different kind of spaced and space – a dream I had which was vivid, fun and insightful.

Enjoy!

Last night I went to a party. It was at an old mansion in the countryside which was owned by a polymath of the mysteries of life, death, and everything else. He had turned part of his house into a restaurant called MoonVooDoo. It was not a typical restaurant, it was not a restaurant at all, but the owner called it a restaurant. You couldn’t go there without being invited by the host, but he was a very sociable and welcoming man, who invited all those he felt would enjoy and feel at home in such a place.
It was a beautiful evening, and we dined outside. There was a long table on the lawn, surrounded by an odd assortment of antique chairs. Food and drinks of all sorts, for all tastes and palates, was laid before us. Brightly coloured lanterns were strung between tall trees. It was…

Scylla and Charybdis - Italian fresco . . Pull the curtain back, it hides a wall, but the wall is not a wall at all, it is a board masquerading as a wall. Pull the wall back, it hides a door, open the door… The other day while I was working on the image which... Continue Reading →

"Don't kill my shoes! Please don't kill my shoes!" Those were the words I shouted at the salesman in the shoe shop who had just informed me that my shoes... the ones which I had been wearing, which had been on my feet when I walked into the store, and which I'd only taken off... Continue Reading →
Ever wake up from a dream and feel that the dream was more real than real life. I do. All the time. In fact, there was a period in my life when I was convinced (or I hoped) that my dreams were my real life and my waking life was my dream life, or more... Continue Reading →

Last night I watched - Hansel and Gretel (2007) - a South Korean film which takes the fairytale and flips it around in ways that are equally charming, fascinating and intensely creepy.

I woke up in a tetchy mood this morning. My jaw and face were aching because I was grinding and clenching my teeth in my sleep harder than usual. I had a bad dream.

Um... I know someone who hates people that start their sentences with um so much they often claim they want to kill them... I wonder if they've ever fantasised about killing me?

I have watched Breaking Bad, but I did not make it a habit. I loved the first season, however there was one character who stressed me out too much and made the rest of the series impossible for me to view. My partner watched the whole series, most of it in back to back episodes.... Continue Reading →

The title of this piece comes from a dream I had last night. The dream itself wasn't X-rated, but I'm sure if Freud was around to interpret it that he would find all sorts of sexual meaning within it. It all started with an inane little dream. I was in my house trying to solve... Continue Reading →
Last night I dreamed that I had something stuck in my throat. I coughed and hacked away until I eventually spat the blockage out. It was a sushi roll wrapped around a little red scorpion.

TicToc by MoonVooDoo I make myself laugh, especially when I catch myself doing something silly.
