Dream 235

I was in a house which was a composite of my nan's house in Sheringham and a very large, modern house with dim mood-lighting, purple furniture, mirrors and lots of stainless steel. I was in a little alcove in the modern 'dream' part of the house. The alcove was circular and had a large mattress with a cover on it. I was laying down on this. I could hear my mum's voice from another room nearby. I looked up and saw her through a glass panel at the top of the wall - she was in a room opposite the area I was sat in, which was more like an open-plan room with a hallway attached, rooms coming off either side, at strange jutting angles. I sat back down on the circular bed in my alcove. At this point I was facing away from the room my mum was in. I heard her say: 'be careful or it will break!' I was aware of something breaking in the room opposite - and thought it may either be a glass ceiling or a stove. My mum said: 'we'll have to buy a new one!'

The scene changed and I was in the part of the house which was the same as my nan's. There was a family reunion taking place and all members of my British family were present, somehow fitting into the rooms of my nan's house, which would not be possible in real life. I stood at the living-room door, looking out into the hall. My nan was walking towards me. My family were then all standing up. I saw my aunt, VF, wearing neon pink frilly underwear. I said to my mum: 'has she had butt implants?' because she looked as if she had. I was then sitting in the arm-chair by the door to the kitchen. Some more chairs had been brought into the room and placed in front of the fireplace, facing away from the electric fire, but towards the sofa that is normally there. This positioning of the furniture would not be possible in real-life due to the size of the room (which is typical size for a council house). The room did not look any bigger than usual however. I could hear all the men in the family, in the kitchen. I could hear some sort of argument or peril. DL came out and explained that my uncle BJ (who is now divorced from my aunt CJ and not in contact with our family in real-life) had gone completely crazy and was plotting something. The details were unclear. I was then aware that my other uncle, GC had been arrested instead of BJ. The police had made a mistake. I went to the police station - it was a small box-room which was very brightly lit and had a wooden shelf which extended halfway into the room. On that shelf was a book. It belonged to my uncle, BJ. I thought that if I could prove the book belonged to BJ instead of my innocent uncle, GC, then maybe they would release GC and arrest BJ. I flicked through the book. It was a diary/scrapbook, with his evil plans jotted down and lots of postcards of starry nights and pinup girls stuck onto the pages. I thought that I should photocopy the book quickly as evidence. Before I could pick it up and leave the room, a male police officer came in and took it away.

I was then back in my nan's house where my family were still gathered. I sat down on the sofa, next to various cousins. DL came into the room. Whereas previously he had looked as he does in real-life, now he was bald and looked like Phil Mitchell from Eastenders and he had a pair balls under his chin which looked really nasty. He leaned over me and I tried to move away because of his appearance. My uncle BJ was in the kitchen, shouting, and my stepdad and male cousins were trying to pin him down to the kitchen counter to restrain him. 

I was then walking down the street when I saw a group of people - who were unrecognisable, or at least not known to me in the dream. With this group was Stewie Griffin from Family Guy, but he was super tall (about 6 foot 6) and stretched out unnaturally. I am not sure if he looked like a cartoon animation or a flesh-and-blood person, but he was wearing the outfit he wears in Family Guy. 

I was then sat on a tube train, but we were overground at this point. Opposite me were sat some unknown persons, one of whom had a baby sat on their lap. Someone to the left (about two or three people along from the baby) handed the baby a lollipop. When the baby licked the lollipop, I realised it was actually some kind of drink. The baby's eyes bulged out of it's head, cartoon-style and it's hair was suddenly pastel green, pink and lilac and standing up on end as if the baby had received an electric shock. I dismounted the tube in daylight and ate a jam doughnut while watching someone play a violin.

Dream 234

Dream date: 1st May 2014

I was in my bedroom in Norwich, waking up in my bed, with the light on. I then realised that this was a false awakening and I was having a lucid dream. I did not feel like this was a positive experience as I was in a bad mood and was concerned that I might start imagining negative things which might appear in dream form. As I sat on the bed, I saw DL, seated next to me on my right. The room appeared to be the same as in real-life, but somehow a mirror image of itself, so what is on the right side is now on the left, although the door was in its normal position. I said to DL that we were in my lucid dream and told him to hit me and see what happened. He raised his fist to hit me in the face and I said: 'knife fight!' and found myself holding a knife in my left hand. I then noticed that there was a cat standing on the bed behind DL. It was stretching in such a way that its back was completely arched and then completely concave. It put me in mind of the 'cat' position in yoga, which is something I often do. It was making a noise like an out-of-tune accordion. I felt uneasy and willed myself to wake up, which I did.

Dream 233

Dream date: 30th April 2014

PS's younger sister was in front of me. We were in an outside environment and it was sunny. There were green trees/bushes or flowers in the vicinity, but the details were unclear. JH was telling me that a mature Hollywood icon (male) wanted to take her on a date. As JH is a minor I was very concerned and tried to persuade her not to go. The scene changed and I was in a maternity ward of a hospital. There was a female in labour, about to give birth. I realised it was my cousin, HM. I was standing beside her bed. 

The scene changed and I was in the South of France, with my family and my friends' family, the Bkts. I think I was in a hotel or holiday apartment, which was painted white. The details were unclear here also. I could not find my clothes. Another girl was present - I realised this was my friend, neighbour and colleague at university, an international postgraduate student, SW. I cannot recall what happened next. 

I then found myself at home in Norfolk. I am not sure where I was  - my own home or my nan's house in Sheringham. There were stacks of books and cash lying around. TB was waiting for me in the South of France, unaware I had left. My clothes were back at home - a green dress (knee length) and a pair of blue knee-high boots. The room changed - it now seemed long and narrow and brightly lit, so I could see that it was my bedroom in Norwich. My mum was there. She had moved the books and cash, which were now placed on low shelves in the room. I asked my mum for a gold bag. When I put my hand in the bag, I found a hypodermic syringe. EB was sitting on my bed, but I realised it wasn't actually him, but MS (who has a similar shade of hair in real life). I said I would cook everyone chips, curry and gravy. The scene changed to a chip shop setting. 

I then found myself in Starlings, the local toyshop in Sheringham. I was playing a video game which was called 'Horrorcore Gore'. I saw some small boys running around the shop - they appeared to be Chucky dolls from the Child's Play movie franchise. I spotted one of my friends who is part of a set of non-identical female twins (whom I have known since we were infants). I think it was CW, not VW. 

I was then in my house in Norwich. There was a knock at my front door. My former boss, a lawyer, was standing outside. He offered my my old job as a legal secretary and I accepted. I found myself in the law firm office. It looked very different, like an entirely different building - long, narrow and dimply lit, with messy desks along each wall and in the middle of the room, taking up a lot of the space available. There were stacks of paperwork everywhere and it all looked very disorganised. My former colleagues were all working at computers. I was only allowed to clean and tidy up. I kept asking if I could do some typing and was told I could not. 

I was then in a forest, running. I was being chased by skeletons who wanted to have sex with me. It was night-time and it felt like I was in a horror movie, but the details were very hazy and I woke up.

The Return of Tallulah La Ghash!

Hi Everyone!

I have been absent from my Blog for several months now. I had a lot of research and writing to do for my PhD and therefore took an unplanned break from my dream experimentation and personal projects so I could concentrate on my studies! Now I have submitted a chapter for my thesis I am once again practising my dreaming techniques and updating my Blog. I hope my regular readers missed me and am happy I am returning to my favourite hobby! I will be recording and posting two recent dreams and hopefully a new article on Sleep Paralysis, so please stay tuned for those uploads and much more. You can follow me on Twitter (click on the link to be taken to my profile) or leave me a comment below. 

Sorry for my extended hiatus from Blogging, I hope I have lots of exciting dreams to post for you in the near future! 

Love,

Tallulah La Ghash
