recently on ILX Dreams...

I had taken the kids on holiday and we were staying at a big house somewhere in central Europe with Ally & Tom. Ally and I went down in the morning to make some breakfast and we both wanted chips but there were no potatoes - it was then I remembered that I had dreamt (yes, within the dream) of a soaking wet Tom carrying Charlie in his arms before collapsing and I was sure it was linked somehow to us going out to buy potatoes. After a bit of discussion I somehow managed to persuade her that this was actually going to happen (I think I told her that Tom died in my dream, but I can't really remember) and we didn't go out to the shops - instead we kept Tom and Charlie in our sight all day to make sure nothing happened. In the early evening they started glowing before disappearing. God then whispered in my ear that they were supposed to die and I had spoiled his plan "you selfish bastard" so he destroyed the world in a fit of pique.

Last night I dreamed I drove a school bus and a fat chinese kid was bullying a smaller child so I punched the bully full in the face.

The actual pig-killing bit was kinda graphic. I think it shat itself at one point.

Most unusual.

1. an argument breaks out at c1ty pap3r when art director j03 macl30d jokingly disses popular songstress "vitamin c" to staff writer chr1s land3rs. music editor jess harvell becomes irate because vitamin c is actually his ex-girlfriend. or maybe an old roommate? i can't remember now. she is also black. what?

2. at summer camp, i discover that one of the camp counsellors is actually a robot. when i voice my concern to another counsellor i am put in a smoke house (like, where they smoke meat, not like an indian sweat lodge) until i "get right."

3. i am interviewing a giant bird (not a muppet, a real bird) in an "inside the actors studio" type situation.

I had my first dream of ilxors last night. Mark C, river wolf, grady & Ed were wandering about at some sort of convention. I said "Hey, aren't you...?". I was excited at seeing ilxors in 'real life' but they were all cool and nonchalant as though they hang out in other people's dreams all the time.

it involved a member of the Gyllenhaal family.

yes, Mark C, river wolf , grady and Ed are the dream ILX stray cats. Whenever they appear loitering in my dreams I chase them away with brooms.

I woke myself up at 1am this morning yelling out, "Just chill DeNiro, it's only licorice!".

This is fucked up, but anyway. I was living in an ornate Italian garden with Drew Daniel. It was very formal with a lot of marble statues and we shared an underground appartment, which was actually quite nice when you were in it and had massive dome skylights, but you had to get in through a potting shed. The light was always very bright and it was baking hot. We got a couple of tourists, but no one really came around much. Drew was in charge of the upkeep of the gardens and I was staying there as a part of some kind of rehab. One day I met my boyfriend (it was my IRL boyfriend, but in the dream I'd never met him before) and we started seeing each other. I got pregnant. Drew was wildly disaproving and stopped speaking to me. Then Martin Schmidt turned up and they were whispering with Martin breaking out into "you have to TELL HER!" Drew took me to one side and explained that my boyfriend was actually my long-lost brother and the child would be deformed. At that point I freaked out and woke up.

NB: That day I had been reading some columns written by Drew for the website I work for. There are no other explanations for this terrifyng mental chain of events.

except that IS your long lost real life brother.

Don't remember much. Just recall sat on some grass saying "that Ned Raggett, he's a clever fellow"

I had a dream a couple of weeks ago that was something about the End of the World. Ned Raggett showed up in it. He was going to save us all by COOKING.

ned is popular. when i first started posting here, i had a dream that he was my new flatmate. he looked like axl rose.
