Also odd...

Sometimes when I'm really sleepy I stop off in the car for fifteen minutes in my lunch break and take a nap. Today I did that and found myself having a dream in which I was in Wales ( probably Swansea but maybe Cardiff ) on a street down a long hill. A rugby match had just ended and I could hear the crowd in the arena at the top of the hill singing the welsh national anthem ( not sure what they were actually singing but in the dream I knew it was the welsh national anthem ) and some other people I know were sorting out the celebratory fireworks and had just lit a huge blue and silver patterned rocket. I thought about telling them that they should save the biggest firework until last but then thought I'd best get to Tesco so went and got in my car instead. Then I woke up.

It was quite a random dream and as I had to go down to the local Tesco to get lunch I got out of the car for a quick breather and to wake up then I got back in and headed off. The radio was set to Radio 4 which was playing Round Britain Quiz, a panel game that consists of the most impossibly cryptic questions being answered by people who must have devoted their entire lives to accumulating trivia. The question that came up as I started driving had four clues, one of them was the welsh national anthem, another was the phrase "remember remember the fifth of November." The answer to the question was about coins, which may tie in to my major source of stress currently.

I feel the correlation there is too strong to discard as coincidence.

Did you have the radio on whilst you were asleep?

Our alarm clock is a radio and I often find I have really bizarre dreams just before I wake up and realise the alarm is going off and I've just been dreaming about whatever is on the radio.

This morning I dreamt that Chris Moyles was running a quiz that seemed to take forever and at first it involved estimating how much tarmac would be used in laying a road and then more strangely concreting over some sports bags.

No, I was sleeping in silence- although I'm very familliar with the experience of the Today Programme dream.

Also, I'm fairly sure even if it had been on they wouldn't have repeated the same question twice. Not on Round Britain Quiz.

How odd...things like that happen to me fairly routinely though, and sometimes its nothing more than a sign that I am using more than the typical 9-10% of my brain and I am actually tuning into to something a little beyond what we currently understand (in other words, no significance). Other times, there is something to watch for, but I don't figure that out until later. I just try to be a bit more alert when things like that happen...and see if the universe guides my attention somewhere...

I'm actually edging towards the belief that people with powerful minds do sometimes get their perceptions, hmm, out of synch. It's interesting.

It sounds odd, but do you have a cold at the moment?
