Dreams

I've been having dreams about getting on trains, being confused as to whether I'm on the right train, whether I should get on the train that's rolling into the platform now .. and so on. I'm sure I'm destined to have them until I die.

I still can't dial numbers on my phone in dreams. Hugely frustrating.

A common theme of my dreams is being on a plane that takes off and struggles to gain any great altitude.

Well yes, it's unlikely they'll continue after that.

Most common for me is not being able to find a loo. And then I wake up and need to take a piss.

I dream about urinating in strange places - and then waking up for a piss.

I also have regular dreams about needing a shit, I find some toilets and every trap is taken bar one, which I then go in to find it blocked and shit smeared everywhere - especially in the door which has just closed behind me...

I'm riding my Planet X bike to my grandparents' place in Hartlepool (in real life I haven't been there since the early '80s). I notice that it's not handling properly. I stop to check it, both the tyres are soft.

No big deal - I'm only about five minutes away, I'll just pump them both up a bit. I take the pump out of my bag. I attempt to fit it to the inner tube valve. But I don't recognise the valves.. they're too big for the pump. More like Schrader valves than Presta. Furthermore they're a strange design, protruding from little metal blocks attached to the rim. I look more carefully. I stare into the valve nozzle on the rear tyre.. it's completely open. I can see right through into the inner tube. As I stare down it I see a bright, reflective surface inside.

I'm at Newcastle City Hall, at a Ben Elton gig. It's the present day. I remark to my companion that I hope he doesn't spend the whole gig bashing the Tories. We're near the front.

Ben comes on. He's just not funny. He looks serious. After the first two minutes he steps down in front of the stage and sits in a rocking chair to continue his act. I can still hear him speaking, although he's nowhere near the mic. I realise he has a lapel mic on.
