Dreams make the world go round

They certainly do if they involve a big stick and a solar system, but anyway i would like to share with you a rather strange and yet interesting dream i had the other night.

It started off with me peering round the net and browsing the forums as you do, and meeting a bird on there who wished to meet up with me in the middle of Lichfield. For some reason when i went outside it was a summer's day and i duly went down in me t-shirt.

Upon reaching the middle of lichfield i met this bird, who for some strange reason was of foreign origin, but had a 'semi-skimmed' look about her, not unattractive per say but not exactly the type of girl you'd be heading for in a crowd either. After the pleasantries are over and done with im standing there wondering how i can tell her to bugger off in the nicest possible way, when all over a sudden she says "Right then, im off to get our engagement rings, back in a bit".

Completely flabbergasted by this statement, she has dived off into the nearest jewellers and left me staring into space and wondering how the hell i got into this mess. Things aren't over yet, oh no, who should turn up next but Dougal in a big white transit van. Pulling up alongside me, he leans out the window and says "hop in son, we've got business" (i dunno why, it doesn't sound like something he would say, but say it he did). Needless to say, i didn't need asking twice, and lept in the passenger seat. We went literally 10 feet furthur down the street to yet another jewellers and Dougal backed the van up to the front door and got out. i followed suit and met him round the back of the van, as he was opening the doors of the van and then walked into the shop. "There's some pallets of orange i want in here" he said walking through the shop to the room at the back.

Don't ask me why, but the shop was completely empty, i don't just mean of people, i mean of everything, it was just an empty room, but looked perfectly normal from the outside. All the people wandering past pay no attention as we hurl cases and cases of orange squash into the back of the van. Next thing i find is there is a police man staring in through the door, "What you two doing then?". Im shitting meself at this point thinking, bugger! Caught redhanded. Dougal meanwhile calmly replies with "Shifting the last of this stock out me shop mate, fancy giving us a hand?". The copper turns back and looks outside before stepping backwards and looking at the name plate above the window of the shop "Robert Jewellers & Son".

"You're Robert then?"

"Yes mate"

"You won't mind me ringing the number on this sign then and asking whoever picks up if they know anything about this?"

"Not at all, you go right ahead"

The copper disappears back to his car to make the said phonecall, to which Dougal says "Enough's enough, back in the van, we go now". "ok" i replied and back in we get, Dougal floors it and bombs off down the street.

Don't ask me why but i suddenly said "What about me missus?". "Where is she?" "Back that way...". He looks straight at me, and says "How do i turn this thing round then?" and in a moment of complete clarity i say "Speed up a bit, and then yank the wheel round when i say so". He prods the accelerator and i ready me hand on the handbrake. "Turn!!", and as he did so i yanked the handbrake on, and as we spun round i yelled "Stick it in first gear and floor it!" which to his credit he duly did, and then i woke up.

Being a dream there were other bits intermingled as well, such as the bit where i was at old trafford with me dad and we are singing away, which we don't usually do, and all the other fans are singing too, so the complete stadium is in perfect unison, and all the away fans leave.

However you chop and change between these two places and don't think anything of it at the time, only when you wake up do you suddenly realise that you've actually had two dreams at the same time. Then it strikes you just how weird they were as well...

I hope you have as entertaining dreams as i do, they certainly liven up the sleeping bit of our lives.

Have fun, don't work too hard, and remember to wash under the rim
