Well on my degree we did look at dreams and how they can inspire and reveal stuff about your psyche and all that. I don't often dream, or at least I don't often remember my dreams, and usually they're just nightmares about having to repeat my teacher training or somesuch. Anyhoo I have had one or two more interesting REM sessions of late and I thought I might share some with you to fill the void between quotes - so here's one I had recently: I've added my own thoughts as to the mystic interpretation.

I was starting a new job, which I didn't really know anything about (1), nor did my colleagues, who seemed to be mostly made up of old school friends of mine. It was hard to keep up with the talk and demands of our boss who seemed to be, for all intents and purposes, Ricky Gervais. (2)













We were all sent to meet up at a location to start work, but I wasn't really paying attention when the directions were given out and everyone scattered before I could ask for a lift. I got into my car, trying to remember where to go. I drove off and in a guess I entered STOKE into my Sat Nav - which also activated the Hyperdrive in my car, transporting me there instantly (3)












Once I arrived in Stoke it was clear this was not the place, I drove around to check, then phoned one of my friends to get directions. It actually turned out that we were on some kind of farm in an obscure Welsh village (one beginning with 'Llan') and I tried to hide my lateness, but of course with hyperdrive technology even being slightly late was big trouble with the boss.

Soon after I woke up!

Interpretations:

(1) I am currently unemployed
(2) I watched The Office and Night at the Museum recently
(3) Star Wars and Mass Effect have a lot to answer for!
