I once had dream about my piano teacher playing a Debussy Arabesque so beautifully that the piano melted.

I wonder if he ever dreamt his lines, And hastened in the morn to write them down. It isn't hard to write this kind of verse; One doesn't even have to make it rhyme - It's quite a cop-out when you come to think. I expect Olivier's lines were considerably more Shakespearian than that, and Shakespeare's certainly were  . Not bad, Mary, although you could do with a bit of enjambement here and there.  |

Go on - and then you awoke to find that he/she had?... |

P.S. I was hoping somebody might be able to give me a dream interpretation (that made sense if possible).  I have a "dream book" but it says that fish represent Christ and it would appear from that to have deep religious undertones. Not being religious at all I don't think I buy that one. Well, I suppose that the fish out of water is, erm, a 'fish out of water' struggling to cope with life. The fact that you recognised this fact but no-one else did (and in fact brought the attentions of your doctor) suggest that maybe this is someone/an issue that you get worked up about but no-one else thinks is anything about which to worry. Alternatively, you could be worried that you're seeing things that concern you where there's nothing to see. Thanks. That all sounds very possible. My own thought was that because I have a lot of people relying on me all the time, maybe I've got too much responsibility, always looking out for others and watching to see who needs what....  I know that everything always seems to be down to me to sort out.  |

I've got The Ode Less Travelled, so must have another look - but I'm not sure I really want to write in iambic pentameters. |

I can't stand the idea of Stephen Fry! It's probably irrational of me, but I have a very deep aversion, especially when he writes books with titles like The Ode Less Travelled ...  |

I wonder why you can't stand Stephen Fry? I think he's adorable. Sorry. I agree about the title of the book, though.

I like Stephen Fry too - even dreamed about him!(see p16!) BUT he has made a rather shocking mistake when referring to Laurie Lee in one of his novels. He said that the young Laurie walked through Spain with his guitar tucked under his arm...  I keep meaning to find the offending page and check in a newer edition if it's been corrected. If not, I really ought to write to the knowledgeable Mr Fry and point this out to him.  |

Most unpleasant. A lot of death, blood and body parts. I kept trying to tell myself it was probably corn syrup and red food colouring but I still woke up with a headache.
I wish the cats would stop playing chase around the bed, or pouncing on unarmed feet when people are trying to sleep.

Last night in my dream I was on this forum having an argument with HtoHe about toenails.
Sorry if I offended you HtoHe.

I dreamed I actually had a full nights sleep...(I didn't) Oh, poor you Jonathan. Insomnia is a dreadful thing, I find that putting on TTN very gently in the background helps - you just drift in and out of it - very peaceful - or sometimes I put The Praetorious Mass on, which is brilliant. Last night I dreamt it was Ash Wednesday (which of course it is) and I had been to Church and was walking to work with the ash marks on my forehead and everyone was pointing and telling me to wash my face And then when I got to work I was in trouble for being late |

...and was walking to work with the ash marks on my forehead and everyone was pointing and telling me to wash my face ... A few years ago, on Ash Wednesday, I was supply teaching in a small primary school in a fairly rough part of Stockport when another supply teacher arrived, with a large ash mark across her forehead. She'd never been there before and had the toughest class to teach, an unruly mob of Year 6s. She had a terrible time because she couldn't control them, partly because they thought the ash mark very funny. I was surprised at a supply teacher making an already tough job even harder for herself. Do people with an ash cross have to keep it on their foreheads all day, Anty? |
