Dreams I've Had

March

Making a big leg of roast lamb. Putting many cloves of garlic in it and slathering it in spices with butter. Awoke to my alarm before I could try it.

Getting half a pack of cigarettes from a store. D was on a date with L and told me to go look for his dog. The dog had previously been abandoned and was super scared. With L and N, L had a dog called Sylvia-Q, N had a big white dog.

Rest of dream is fuzzy but I was in a strange bookstore

At work where there was a new spaceship exhibit that you needed to climb in and dress up for. A was back there and was telling me how T hit it off with a bartender and was gay now

R, R, and I were looking for a rental in Sydney. We attended an inspection close to the city for a place that was $520 a week for 3 bedrooms but one of them didn't have a window. The house was a straight line up and the elevator opened onto the bathroom while I was on the toilet.

I was addicted to heroin, and had an immaculately precise routine for shooting up. When I woke up I couldn't stop looking at my arms.

Joined D and the rest of the band who were playing a random christmas busking gig at the train station. They had back-up dancers and blue christmas themed shirts on. Trying to get home but because it was christmas the train services were very infrequent. T, H, and I opted to try a strange seafood themed tour bus. It cost $300 and the driver was this russian man who really didn't like T. After fighting with T, he left us in a town called 'Jam', but somehow we reappeared back on the bus. Strange things kept happening.

Community dinner that K organised in the city. All eating and drinking and having fun when all of a sudden the building started burning down with everyone inside. My sleeve had caught fire passing a dish of sauce to C. Many people were gone. In shock.

Trying to buy L a planner. Drinking fancy tea. My computer was infected with a virus and kept switching to a 90's arabic operating system. Went to an IT store - apparently I had a taken a man's thesis and needed to return it for my computer to get fixed.

J's package finally arrived. I opened it and there was a bunch of ginger beers and a wasps nest inside. The wasps all flew out and I ran away. A white cat with long fur tried to guide me back to my house but I went back to investigate the package and took it inside. G, G's family and N were there. Lollies laced with hallucinogenic octopus venom, everyone acting strange. Sifting cake sprinkles. A kangaroo gave birth to a full-size baby in the backyard.

A let the neighbour drive L's car but it got all crumpled and ruined

At Mum's house. K was taking the cladding off the back wall outside. Figs were rotting at the base of the tree. Told L not to let J see the tree because it would remind him of Sylvia Plath. The lemon tree had collapsed over the fence and D helped us push it back over.

G came back from Golden Plains with a suitcase full of extracurriculars. Having a bag on the floor, but carefully as we were afraid she was in a lot of trouble. On a train with M, J, and A. Got off at Clifton Hill and the others got on the next train without me. Went to get dumplings and met them at the tram. Tram left without me with the doors still open while I tried to get my shit together.

At Northcote theatre with L. He went behind the bar to make a drink and the bartender got really angry at him. So did I. Staff were trying to kick us out so we ran into a courtyard. P was all dressed up, ready to sing back-up for a soul singer. Someone came from Canberra and tracked L down because he didn't pay for a haircut he got at a wedding. L was adamant he paid, and the man began to fight him. I took a chain and a clarinet to bash the man, but when I pinned him up against a deli cabinet he transformed into L and I dropped everything, confused.

O had rats and we were meant to feed them but kept forgetting. Went out with O in the van at 11pm but it was super sunny outside. Driving south and some men blocked the road trying to sell us oysters in italian.

Beautiful landscape. Can't remember anything else.

Halloween party at a dvd store. Me and M picking through free samples of beauty products.

Go-karting at a Kmart. Went to go home with L and A but L pulled away in the car before I could fully get in and I was being dragged along the pavement. I kept begging him to stop and clawing at his arms and face until he did. He realised, but was pissed at me. At home there was a group of strange middle aged people who still had the keys to our rental. They were adamant on watching Gremlins. More people showed up and I tried to hide in the cupboard but it was actually a secret workshop. Pushing the unwelcome visitors off their bikes.

At work but it was like a big office building. I started early so asked if I could get a coffee but I had mud all over my uniform and P and A told me I needed to clean it. It took a long while to sort it out. D and L were there with a kid, unsure if it was theirs. I gave them a big hug on their way out.
