First dream; My son and I were on this obstacle course which involved various different obstacles leading to a specific destination. A destination unknown. We had to crawl through this extended net for what felt like hours strapped to each other. Maxi (my son) kept getting really tired and pausing. “Come on, we’re almost there!” I cheered on. Easy for me to say... he had me strapped to his back! Our shared bottle of water was now running low and we were getting annoyed with each other. Halfway through the course, as we exited the high extended net, he decided that he didn’t want to be on my team anymore and he wanted to finish it by himself. I felt sad getting so far as a team and then being ditched. “Thanks a lot, son!” I remember thinking, as I sulked on the sidelines. As I spectated, I remember trying to rob other people’s bottled water (because I felt insanely dehydrated) Next dream; An intruder kept trying to break into the house (which wasn’t my house in real life but it was in my dream) we had this massive dog for protection and we kept setting him off on them. This happened 3 or 4 times in a row but then there were some knocks on the door by 3 frightened kids. At first, I thought it was a trick or a scam, but then I let them in. I say ‘them’, two of them seemed to disappear into thin air and this one child was left. A sweet little girl. She wanted to stay in my sons room (which was in the attic) and luckily he had an assortment of quirky cabin beds in his room. She chose one with a canopy tent over the top and settled there for the night. I went downstairs to watch tv. I couldn’t find much to watch so was channel hopping. Eventually I chose to watch old skool The OC. My daughter was downstairs with me and annoyingly kept quoting everything the characters were saying in a mocking tone. “How dare she mock a part of my”youth hood” I thought. But then Katie Price made a cameo appearance and I remember thinking “what the actual fuck? This show is a mockery after all!” Halfway through the evening, I went up to check on all the kids and remembered the little girl in the attic room. The ladder had been pulled up, so I pulled it back down and asked if she was okay. She said she was really happy and didn’t want to go back to the orphanage. “Oh fuck” I thought. “How am I going to break it to her in the morning?” Next scene; This dream was a bit messed up. I was visiting what appeared to be a service user at first, who then changed into disgraced xfactor star (Danny Tetley) His place was an absolute shit hole with rubbish everywhere I looked, but, bizarrely, he was dressed really smartly. “Are you ready to go out for this meal?” He asked. “What?!” I was thinking. Does he think we’re going on a date? I didn’t have the heart to dispute it, so I said we could get a casual bite to eat. In the back of mind I was hoping no one would catch me with this awful man. What would they think?! “I haven’t got any money” he said. “I’m thinking about going on the dole!” He continued. “Well, I’m not paying for it “ I snapped. “That’s okay” he said “we can just go for drinks! I can drive.” He was now sat on his littered sofa, picking at his manky toenails and I was starting to feel really sick. I just wanted to run the fuck out of there and never return. Next scene; My best friend was venting in a group chat. Someone had sent her a scam but had used my daughter’s name to try to come across as authentic. Everyone said this was really bad news and that this meant all my accounts would be hacked. “For fuck sake!” I remember thinking. Next scene; My dad was alive in my dream and my mum was telling me how they were still married but were now living in separate houses. “But why?!” I remember thinking. “Because I don’t want the heartbreak of owning another dog!” She said, as if reading my thoughts. “He has dogs!” Next scene; I was in a bar in town and had ordered an ice cooler (which I was muchly looking forward to) I recognised the guy who was serving: It was Davey from the legendary ‘Tip Shop’. He asked where my mum was and I said she was looking after the kids. I then had a call from a panicked friend and rushed off, but by the time I reached her, I realised that I had left my ice cooler behind. “Dammit!” I thought. “I’ll go back for it later!” My friend was having trouble crossing the traffic lights (for some reason?) and needed my help. Later, I went back to the bar for a meal, but when I got there, they had invited a load of people I didn’t know (mostly guys) who were drunk and rowdy. I tried to sit next to my friend, Kylie, but these guys jumped in either side of me. I was feeling super awkward as there was an extended awkward silence at the table. To make conversation, I told the guy across from me that I had a checked shirt just like his and then I realised I was actually wearing it (but mine was pink rather than red) The new guys then invited all these ‘Made in Chelsea’ type girls over and I felt even more uncomfortable. They hovered over us, as there weren’t enough chairs around the table. They stayed for a bit and then they stripped to their bikinis and were video calling me from a huge water slide. They looked like they were having a hoot. “We should do that!” I said to the guy beside me in the matching checked shirt. “Hmmm...” he muttered. My friend Laura started to cry from across the table. I got up and tried to comfort her, asking her what was up. She told me her mum had died and I was a little bit taken back. “It’s okay..” she sniffed, “she’s given all of us a Range Cooker!” On the way back, I bumped into my friend Amber (who I hadn’t seen in forever) she was walking her dog who was this cream coloured fluffy thing and quite frankly the cutest little dog I had ever seen... but I was flabbergasted by Amber’s big fluffy coat that resembled her dog’s coat exactly. She looked like a freaken yeti. I looked her up and down and quickly said my goodbyes. I then ended up at Laura’s house and sure enough there was a cream range cooker just inside the hall. It was really fancy. As I walked into her home, a huge bunny came to greet me and I smothered it in kisses. I then realised that I wasn’t in Laura’s house anymore, i was in my own and I had now acquired her rabbit. Oops! 😳
