Then I had a dream later on where I was retelling the dream about the ice skates that go to Norway, while a childhood friend called Sean Easton teased me about it. I had a further dream that I woke up and went to write the dream about the ice skates in my dream diary, only to find it was already in there.

I was quite surprised to actually see Julian himself serving customers in his restaurant.

She told us when she couldn’t get a bus her baby girl would ‘caval’ a lift in someone’s pushchair (stroller). The taxi driver tittered at the new word ‘caval’ and repeated it while shaking his head. I’ve never heard the word myself in waking life or in any dreams, though it does sound a bit like cavalry.

15-September-2006: I dreamt that I was on the coast of Yorkshire, England, in a town called Scarborough. The seas where wild and a group of us were expecting an invasion force from unknown enemies.

The clerk at the desk let Tony and myself through but charged Tony’s bodyguard an entrance fee.

Then the dream scene changed to Margaret Thatcher announcing here plans for Clifford’s Tower in York, England –saying she was going to remove it completely by the year 2000 and build something really exciting there instead. The dream then moved to a comedy version of the year 2000, as builders removed the final bricks of Clifford’s Tower a tentacled monster emerged and declared us all fools for releasing it from it’s medieval tomb prison.

1-September-2006: I dreamt that a friend called Peter Rankin was waiting outside an airport in Norwich, England, for his wife to arrive from Cork in Ireland. There were a few of us waiting with Peter to pass the time and we were getting a little worried because she was supposed to arrive much earlier. As we waited beyond the chain-link fence of the airport, in a field, a plane came really low overhead and crashed into a hill. We were all sure that this was the plane we’d been waiting for, but Peter sat there as calm as anything, saying he was not going to worry about whether or not his wife was on the plane until it had been verified. Shortly after Peter received a phone call from his wife who said she was still in Cork stuck at the airport, and some kind of accident near Norwich was holding up her flight.
