Well I can't really dance but baby won't you dance with me

i don't think there's any real point to this blog (is there ever) but if i don't get it out of my head i'll never sleep

we all have recurring dreams, well i do anyway.. well ok i have two, but one i've probably talked about before because it's everynight, about 10mins after i go to sleep.. the one where i'm incapacitated in a way i can only describe as 'drunk but no drunk' my head is totally clear and i'm usually very aware of what is going on around me, which is almost always threatening, or at least requiring urgent action, but i have little or no control over my body, including all limbs, head and, usually, voice. so i wrench myself awake and then have trouble getting back to sleep for a bit

but that's not the one on my mind.. this one always involves a house, or more accurately, upstairs in a house.. sometimes it's up a grand set of stairs, sometimes it's through a loft... i think this comes from when as a kid my gran lived on the ground floor of a 3 story flat, when the lady upstairs died we got access to the previously forbidden world of the higher too floors.. which were much bigger than i'd ever imagined

the bigger things important, because in the dream this upstairs section is always unfeasibly large... one time it was an abandoned nightclub/rollerskating rink which had another floor that was a luxury open air flat, another time it was floor upon floor of a huge dark, cobwebbed, of which one floor was of course haunted, or home to some kind of hellish creature, making it all the more enticing.. but it was filled.. cluttered.. with stuff, facinating stuff, old furniture, utensils and implements, a real treasure trove.. apart from the fact that most things were too big to remove (this particular building was accessed as you would a loft through a hole in the ceiling.

common features everytime are that i'm always rediscovering the building, that is in any one dream i will always glaze over my personal introduction to to it and then dream in more detail about how i am showing it to somebody else, though that person never actually enters the building so while i feel i am showing them it, i am infact just wandering round on my own

another common feature is that these buildings are always either made of wood.. or cut roughly from stone, cave like but with the features of a buidling made from modern materials... and example once being sun loungers cut from a single rock

well there we go, that's out of my head and i feel much better... tomorrow is sunday, a whole 24hours off work... here's to hoping it brings something new and interesting
