Head was distracted as I started this. That led to errors on lines 2, 3 and 4. Finally got my act together for line 5. 10 minutes

This seems to be a common theme with dreams. Things not being complete or not able to be completed. I've spoken to many people over the years who aren't able to dial numbers on their 'phone or being unable to carry out an everyday task properly. An annoying recurring theme for me is missing shoes and socks and having to uncomfortably go about my life barefoot. I like it when Rush members turn up from time to time rather than this very unwelcome guy who turns up frequently in my more troublesome dreams. I have no idea why he should appear other than I think I was the only person at work who had him sussed. He played the daft laddie but he was very conniving. I've also wondered why I don't dream about God as I think of Him a great deal.

I don't like to hear him play without a chorus pedal in the signal chain somewhere. It's part of his signature sound.

Really weird dreams early this morning.

I'm setting up a Scalextric set, I think in the front bedroom of our old house in Hartlepool where I used to play as a kid. I put everything in place; the track, the plastic crash barriers, the cars. But I can't find the transformer.

Then it's late at night, I'm outside a department store but the front door has been left open for me to go in and look for the Scalextric transformer. Why it might be in there I have no idea but it seemed to make sense in the dream. I push the double doors, they give way, I go inside and search the shelves. I can't find it anywhere.

Next, I'm in a ground floor flat on a pleasant housing estate somewhere. In real life it's not a real place but in the dream, it's somewhere I lived years ago. I'm looking through a bookshelf and I find Ordinance Survey maps of Hartlepool (again no such thing exists in real life). I realise I must have left them there years ago and I put them in a little pile to take with me. Then I realise someone else is in the room behind me, the present occupant of the flat. I turn to explain that the maps are my own property.

Finally, I'm at home in Hartlepool. My dad used to have a boat; nothing fancy just a little one with a basic cabin and an outboard motor. We're getting it ready to take it out to sea for a bit. But again, there's a part missing.

I go with Neil Peart, in his car, to visit someone he knows who might be able to help. Somehow in the dream, Neil has been substituted for my dad even though he's only about 30. It's Neil's boat. We turn up at the house. I'm wearing a backpack. It's an elegant, large house. I wipe my feet on a large doormat. We're shown in to a room at the front of the house. I sit at a table.

Two women come in to the room. They're pleased to see him. One of them hugs him.

What does it mean, I wonder? What's my unconscious mind trying to tell me with this "missing a critical part" theme?
