This morning was the third morning in a row on which I woke up from a weird approx 2-minute nightmare.
What oddball dreams and nightmares have you had which you can still remember and recount? Starting the ball rolling with mine:
- This morning's nightmare. My team play another grand final against Richmond, and I realise with horror that I forgot to watch the match. I say, 'after all that how the **** could I forget to watch the Crows in a grand final?' I get filthier when I try to check the result but internet pages won't load and no one around me knows the result. I start wondering why I never got the email for the ticket ballot either. I'm absolutely furious, and that's when I wake up.
- Yesterday's nightmare. I'm with a couple of acquaintances at a function. I agree to let one of them give us a lift home despite me knowing he's too drunk to drive. I would never agree to this in reality.
We drive through major roads, light night-time traffic, with me wondering whether we'll get away with it. Then a set of lights turn red. 'Wait wait wait!' I think. But it's too late, the driver runs straight through the red light at a leisurely 60 Ks. We don't crash. I roll my eyes and say 'You ******* idiot. We were getting away with it and then you run a ******* red light for no reason.'
I look around with dread, knowing everyone saw what we just did. I think for a moment that no police officers saw and we would get away with it. Then I look in the rear-view mirror and a police car finally turns on its lights. In this particular dream universe, the law is that getting in the car with a drink driver is considered drink driving. I'm thinking about how long I'm going to jail for and how long I'm losing my licence for. Then I wake up.
- Day before yesterday's nightmare. I'm walking across a plaza towards a grey building where I work (not my workplace in real life). I look at my watch and realise with horror that I have only one minute until I have to start work. I go to the staff room and for some bizarre reason I have to heat up and eat a pizza before I start working.
I begin gobbling down the pizza, look at the wall clock and see I was supposed to be working ten minutes ago. 'Why the **** has it taken me ten minutes to heat up a pizza?' I think. I'm very angry with myself and know my boss will be pissed off. In real life I absolutely hate being late.
