I hardly had any sleep last night, as I was interrupted numerous times, as such I had 3 dreams that I remember, all of them to do with my childhood in various ways.
Dream 1 - On my way to school Jeremy Clarkson nearly ran me over.
I was my current age, but I was walking to my secondary School, I had just cut through Victoria Train Station, and was about to cross over Vauxhall Bridge Road. I was walking with one of my current work colleagues, who I did not know when I was at school. So, as we're about to cross the road, the light change, and we try and dash across the road, but a whole load of NY taxis don't give us a chance, so we head back to the pavement and wait for the greenman. After a minute or so, the traffic stops, and the green man appears, so we walk out, but an oldfashioned car (think 1920s) decides to jump the lights. The car is the colour of a Walkers Smoky Bacon packet of crisps (and the walkers sign is on the door) Jeremy Clarkson is driving it.
Once again, we dance around in the road, and I rush over to the car and start shouting at him, he starts to look angry, as if to say that he's had enough shit (literally) of the public and just wants to continue his drive, I then continue to say that I really like Top Gear and was only shouting at him for jumping the red light. He told us that it was ok, and asked if we wanted a lift. So we jumped in, and he drove down Victoria Street, to Parlimant Square, and then headed off towards Trafalger Square, and then down The Mall to Buckingham Palace, up the side of the Palace (Constitution Hill) to Hyde Park Corner and then down the side of Green Park (Picadilly) to St James's Street and then along Pall Mall to Waterloo Place, where we stopped and looked at the needle tower thing that's there.
Dream 2 - In the Cub Scouts as an adult.
Don't remember the details of this one as much, but I was in cubs, with the same leaders I had at the time, but all the cubs were adults, we started doing some of the activities we used to do, and then we had a race around a swiming pool, everyone lined up at one end, and we had to run to the other end, and back again, I finished 2nd, and the guy who finished 1st came over to me and told me I was a great athlete and if I ever wanted to train with him I was more than welcome. I remember thinking, that if I was this good after not doing any serious running for 20 years, imagine how good I could be if I started training. Then one of the leaders mentioned that I couldn't go any more as the night clashed with my weekend swimming. I started protesting saying that I was looking to change that from the Saturday to the Sunday, but it fell on deaf ears.
Dream 3 - The Race
I was at Battersea Park running track, and it was some sort of sports day (I used to come here for School and Scouts sports days), I was entered in a race, but it was "handicapped" I had to do 400m, some people had to run 200m and others only had to run 100m. So the whistle went, and we were off, the thing was, we all started at the same place, and finished in different places. I finished 1st out of the people who had to run 400m, but predictable we weren't sure who had finished first out of the 100m 200m and 400m runners.
