+title: Saw bear
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-03-12
+---
+
+I was with my grandad and mum in an old 80's style office building that was being used as a care home with beige walls, ceiling tiles and flourescant lighting. For some reason we were carrying my grandad towards the lobby, with each of us lifting him under his shoulder with ours.
+
+When we finally arrived at the lobby there was a group of people already there. There was a nurse near the main door who was instructing us all to stand in a row, before she cried out "A-N-C!" "A-N-C!".
+
+The group of people in the lobby sat down on the carpet tiled floor and a coach arrived that we all boarded. As we drove, the weather started to deteroirate and out of the left side of the coach we saw four boys playing on two sets of see-saws.
+
+There was an explosion and one of the boys disappeared into thin air and another transformed into a 10ft high bear type creature like something from Attack on Titan. He was ready to stomp on one of the other kids but was calling out some kind of gladiatorial thumbs up/thumbs down type of request towards our coach.

+title: Subtle shifts
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-03-19
+---
+
+I was on an evening out with friends but needed to stop in at home quickly to pick up something, or do something so everyone carried on while me and my friend <!-- CD --> made a stop at my house.
+
+When I arrived and opened the door everything was very subtlety different, my curtain rail was no longer mounted to the wall and was laid down on top of my radiator, there were pieces of plastic loaded into the washing machine and the order and sizes of my fridge shelves had moved and there was extra half eaten food and opened drinks left inside.
+
+Outside in the courtyard there was a few surprisingly small cars that I didn't recognise that were all parked haphazardly.

+title: Malteser twirl
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-05-02
+---
+
+I was on a road trip in a camper van on the Isle of Wight, waiting out a bad storm at a run down pub for a ferry that would arrive at 10:42.
+
+I'd just bought a Lidl smart watch that was very feature full however you needed to remove the back plate of the watch and interact with large plastic gears to really do anything useful.
+
+It was quite large, made of a silver metal and the watch face looked a little like [GoldenEye](https://www.google.co.uk/search?tbm=isch&q=goldeneye+watch).
+
+In the pub a friend of mine <!-- AJ --> was talking with some Goths who weren't particularly happy to be bothered by him.
+
+A few more of my friends <!-- JD and CD --> were at a table trying to perfect the '[tornado twirl](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/k-HL5k-E7qo)' trick using bottled beer. Most couldn't do it but I decided to practice with a Malteser which received plenty of support from other people in the pub.

+title: Reservoir glide
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-05-06
+---
+
+I was on a road trip with my girlfriend <!-- JP --> in central Wales where we were visiting a reservoir named Pnelrith which was named after an island in centre of the reservoir.
+
+This reservoir had a special feature that under certain conditions you were able to jump into the air and glide from one side, to the island, then from the island to the other side and back again completely unaided but some people were using wing suit setups to make the process easier.
+
+A woman on the far side near the island was also selling sandwiches out of the back of an old land rover which we didn't take advantage of.
+
+I was able to complete this glide once, but then on the way back I caught the current poorly and ended up splashing into the cold water from the island back to the first coast and struggled to make it to land using a variety of strokes all while trying to keep my backpacks' contents dry.
+
+On the next leg of our trip our adopted kids <!-- E and R -->  joined us on the journey and the discussion went to the music being played. I don't remember any of the tracks but none of what was playing went down well and everything was described as oldies, even popular music that had only been released a couple of years ago.
+
+We eventually arrived at a small B&amp;B hotel which had very old style power plugs and only one or two in each room and located in strange places so a number of old style extension leads were also being used. My girlfriend was trying to use a steam powered hair brush that mostly just looked like a normal style brush but had a thick power lead coming from the handle and made a high pitched whining noise when powered up.
+
+After a few moments of being powered up, the plug started pushing itself out of the extension lead so it was promptly slapped back in and the noise continued.
+
+Eventually the hair brush started leaking water from its bristles at an increasing rate until boiling water was frothing out of it and it was placed in a tupperware to try and catch as much of the water as possible as the handle started to melt due to the power being consumed and the heat being produced.

+title: Pile on
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-05-15
+---
+
+I was in a noisy club with a load of people I didn't know, I wasn't intentionally there so was wearing my steel work boots which everyone seemed mildly fascinated with.
+
+At one point I had a guy standing on each one of my boots when one person was pushed over and I fell over, underneath everyone.
+
+Everyone was laughing as they'd been drinking and the music was loud and another person jumped on as well thinking it was a game.
+
+As more and more people joined in I was buried deeper and deeper beneath the people, struggling to breath and shouting to be let up without anybody really being able to hear me.

+title: Fly face
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-05-16
+---
+
+I was at my girlfriends house in the kitchen where there were a few flies buzzing around which I was ducking between, exaggerating my movements when I needed to visit the bathroom upstairs.
+
+As I went in there was already a pool of water in the sink and the walls were all an orange-pink colour instead of the usual white tile.
+
+I caught a reflection of myself in the mirror and then did a double take as all I had was a nose with no other facial features or outline to my head.
+
+I shouted out in alarm and ran to the staircase before realising I was in a dream and suddenly waking myself up

+title: Recorated house
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-06-20
+---
+
+I was going for regular runs down a strange motorway with high walls but no cars. One day during one of these runs I crossed the concrete central reservation but ended up falling over, dropping some paperwork I was carrying for some reason and getting muddy in the process.
+
+As I lay on the ground a man in a red van pulled up and let me lie down in the back of his van and while recovering I recall looking up at the ceiling which was covered in loose red fabric.
+
+When I got home after my run I found my ex-girlfriend outside my house talking to one of my neighbours. Once I entered the house everything was laid out differently in my living room. I was missing a load of book from my bookcase and they were strangely divided but everything was still recognisably there just shuffled around a little.
+
+I heard a knock at the door and got up to answer it, at the door was my current girlfriend and I sheepishly said that this was pretty awkward but the two were seemingly good friends.
+
+As I went upstairs most rooms had been redecorated, my guitars had moved from the bedroom to the staircase and were oriented horizontally with cappos sticking out onto the staircase.
+
+The landing area at the top of the stairs was expanded with a smaller computer desk at the top of the staircase and a small child sized bed with a red woolen bedsheet situated in a white stone hearth in a corner of the room.
+
+My bathroom had been retiled with large dark red tiles and there was a shower curtain to enter the room and another around the bath.
+
+My bedroom was almost entirely white with white bedding, white walls and a cream coloured carpet.
+
+On the top floor, there were dog bowls with food and water but no dogs, and the far wall was taped away behind plastic as it was in the process of being painted.
+
+I walked back downstairs to the landing area and my ex just wanted to jump on the childs bed.

+title: Tidal loch
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-09-16
+---
+
+I'd decided to go and visit a chain of Scottish islands that were all connected via bridges after watching a [Tom Scott](https://www.youtube.com/@TomScottGo) video about them.
+
+The body of water happened to be tidal but calm so I went for a swim there with the dogs, venturing out into the water.
+
+Eventually the tide started to come in through a narrow gap at one end of the loch as waves were crashing around me.
+
+I tried turning back but there was a lot of people behind me doing the same thing with panicked looks on their faces

+title: Pensacola passport
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-10-08
+---
+
+I was staying at a large stately home in the countryside with a number of outbuildings surrounding it that had been converted into holiday cottages with different families and guests in each.
+
+The holiday cottages were made of white stone and had more than the usual amount of windows you'd expect on them. Between these cottages was a thick carpet of dark green grass interspersed with small hedges.
+
+Outside there was an argument going on between the the owner of the stately home and a group of teenagers wearing shiny metallic bathing suits. Apparently this group of American tourists were underage and then the owner proceeded to make fun of one of the girls passports as she was born in Pensacola.

+title: Static man
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-10-24
+---
+
+
+I was in a city trying to talk to an old homeless looking man who whenever he would open his mouth to speak would produce bursts of static instead of speech. These static bursts didn't correspond to the rhythm of conversation or even his jaw movements.
+
+After getting frustrated with him I woke up to find the intermittent static noise was actually my girlfriend snoring.

+title: Hold guard
+dream: dated
+date: 2023-12-23
+---
+
+I was in a police holding cell type place with large sandstone walls. Under the main reception desk there was a floor safe that I was aware that I could access. Inside this floor safe was 181 [Runite ore](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Runite_ore) in a plastic bag.
+
+I ended up returning to the building after being released where I was given a mouth guard and seated at a plastic table with a table cloth with a guy sat opposite me while we tried to eat an unecessarily complicated meal based on items that had been left behind at the prison and needed eating up.
+
+The waiter serving us was [Ross Hornby from Hat Films](https://yogscast.fandom.com/wiki/Ross_Hornby) who was also wearing a mouth guard but we all ended up laughed about how ridiculous they were to eat a meal and it turned out they were from lost and found as well.

+title: Car piazza
+dream: dated
+date: 2024-03-02
+---
+
+I was driving in Leeds at night in my new company car and while traversing a large roundabout a car on my right side collided with me but only at slow speed.
+
+I gestured that we should both pull over but the other car drove off so I gave chase, flashing my lights trying to get them to stop.
+
+Eventually I lost the car I was trying to follow but another car behind me started flashing me so I pulled over to the side of the road where two girls got out and handed me a small piece of plastic trim from the right of my car that could be slotted back in place quite easily however the entire front of the car was missing its body panels so it was just a bare engine block and headlights.
+
+I asked the two girls who'd flagged me down where they picked up the single piece of my car from and they just vaguely gestured behind them.
+
+I got back in my car and started driving in the direction they'd gestured however there was now a crowd of people in the road that was now more like a piazza sat at tables and chairs eating and drinking and I needed to perform a three-point without knocking into any body.

+title: Work plugs
+dream: dated
+date: 2024-03-08
+---
+
+I was driving to to a care home site as part of my job with my girlfriend in the car. For some reason I was wearing tigh fitting ear plugs.
+
+When we arrived I produced my work phone to assign myself as having arrived on site however saw that I had a job in the next few days in [Bournemouth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bournemouth) that looked like hundreds of miles away.
+
+I walked up to the entrance of the care home, before sitting on a bench to remove the ear plugs. As I removed the plugs I saw that they were caked with dirt, wax and a crumbly white substance.
+
+My girlfriend had sat down next to me and then started yanking my ear lobe to try to clear out any other obstructions.
