Such a mad unpleasant dream last night that I was suspected of murder! It was like a crime thriller, I woke up with no memory, bloodstained clothes, the person I'd been with the day before missing, insane 1. I'm sure I kept waking up still feeling it was real, then back to dream and the same dream carries on. I was just thinking yesterday about dreams and what they are and how what feels like it's going on for hours is probably just an instantaneous flash of ideas being rearranged in your head. I was spurred into this thought by a story I'd seen in the news of a guy who claimed he was living another life in his dreams while in a coma. I know I'd had quite vivid dreams earlier this week but they were instantly forgotten again when I woke up. This time though I thought I can still remember this, I'll write it down! Cheery stuff anyway, glad to be awake, nobody murdered afaik! I hope it's not like that time in Deptford where I had a dream about the bin shed being on fire and then woke up and the bin shed had been set on fire 2 3...

Pay day today, that's better. Bonus in, slightly better than last year, will get full details when I view my online pay slip later.

Weather report on phone says four degrees warmer today here than yesterday, so London must have been a lot warmer than here. Will it even be as hot here today as it was in London? Looks like a max of twenty-two degrees here. Nice though, and getting nicer over the bank holiday weekend.

Sunny and a gentle breeze, 13 - 22℃.

  1. Now I think about it more I think this was an episode of Dalziel and Pascoe.
  2. Looking back on this twenty-five years or so later there is a chance I smelled the burning bins in my sleep and that spurred it, or even that I saw the burned bins the day before but didn't consiously register it. That is more likely than me walking in my sleep out to the bins and setting them in fire, surely.
  3. And yeah I'm calling it Deptford now as it sounds cooler, even though I always said it was New Cross at the time. Damn I should have bought a place there.
