poliphilo Dream No 1: I was attending one of those Super Churches they have in the Southern States of America. The old guy sitting next to me was wearing a purple robe with a hood, and just to make his affiliation entirely clear the hood had KKK printed on its side. " Have you decided to join the party yet?" he asked- and I understood him to mean the Republican party. "But I'm English," I explained, "And I'm going home tomorrow." At this point a number of his friends showed up, including a snippy young guy in a wifebeater. I was hoping things would pass off without unpleasantness but then the snippy young guy made some snippy remarks and used the "N" word- twice...
Dream No 2: Was borderline lucid. I was looking round a house which I knew was my house- but which wasn't this house or any other in which I've ever lived. I looked out the windows and saw a very nice garden, and hints of a landscape that I knew was somewhere in Sussex but not our part of Sussex. There were two framed prints on the wall, with a lot of text (not necessarily in English) and line drawings of trees. My father had just left and I wanted to get round to the front of the house to see if I could see him through the windows....
Dream No 3: A friend showed up hungry, harrassed and unsteady on his feet. He'd grown a beard and moustache since since I'd seen him last. He said he'd eat lunch with us but it needed to be chicken. I opened a bag of what I thought were chicken nuggets but they turned out to be pork. Preparations were underway for a feast. Guests were arriving- including Ailz's parents. I found a silver tray that had been hammered and bent out of shape and several kitchen implements- ladles and serving spoons that had been broken in two. Clearly the children had done it. I asked Alice why (for the purposes of the dream she was a teenager) and she gave me a rationale that made sense but which I now forget. I told her I'd have to commandeer her savings to pay for the damage- knowing, even as I spoke, that I'd never carry through on my threat....
