Another odd dream last night: A knock at the door in the morning. Four policemen, who seemed very tall, and seemed to have been drenched in the rain outside. I wondered why four of them — it must be serious! They told me they were part of a fraud investigation, and that they couldn’t tell ... [More]

I had a dream the other night that I was in a code review with some of the guys. For non-geeks amongst you, one of the key things about programming is to write your code in such a way that anybody else who reads it can understand how it works… and indeed so that you ... [More]

Assassins!
The wacky dreams keep on coming. This one on the weekend involved walking Maisie (the dog) with Marita in Footscray Park. But beware! Assassins! In a white stationwagon! They pulled up nearby and came attacking, with a syringe full of something to stab me with. Maisie, being her usual cautious self, was not about to ... [More]

Best (weirdest) dream of the weekend
It’s been a funny weekend for dreams. On Saturday night I had an interesting one involving a bunch of my friends from high school, but set in the current time, riding bikes around late at night. But by far the best of the weekend was on Friday night/Saturday morning: I was waiting at a kind ... [More]

Time dreams
I might not have blogged about it, but I’ve had dreams before about having to be somewhere semi-unexpectedly, and running late. Last night’s was that (matching reality) I had to be somewhere today by 11am, out of my usual routine. In the dream, I woke and found every single clock in the house not working ... [More]

Two interesting dreams in the last few days. Not that I expect anybody to care except me, but I’m finding it useful to log them somewhere. Dad and the tram In the first one, I was on a tram on a route where they’d been moving the stops (such as Collins St) and we stopped ... [More]
Dream from the other night: I woke up with huge hair, sticking straight out for about 30cm in every direction from my head. I looked in the mirror and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. “How can this be?” I thought “I only had a haircut last week…”

Footy dream
I dreamt I was the coach for the local junior football team. Instead of playing on a conventional oval, it was a kind of L-shaped ground, like two ovals stuck together, possibly reflecting a park nearby to the house I just bought. There was a game going, but only about half a dozen kids playing ... [More]

More weird dreams
The other night: Rather than my usual mowing boys turning up when I ask them, half a dozen 10-ish year old boys and girls turned up at my house with a mower and various other implements of destruction and started doing my lawn and hacking up my garden, without being asked. Last night: I was ... [More]
There was a terrific picture of (what’s left of) the Monty Python team in the newspaper on the weekend. I know there’ll probably be a collective groan from readers, but it inspired a brief dream overnight in which Terry Jones came around for tea, chatted with my mother about his TV appearances, and agreed to ...

Another weird dream
Another weird dream the other night: I was in a kitchenware shop in Collins Street, as was the cat I had when I was growing up, Sooty. Sooty said to me “I’m going home” and left the shop, off down the street. Someone decided to give the other cat from my childhood, Mischief (aka Eric) ... [More]

Dream: the table
I was with Rae, helping a work colleague of mine to move a table. A big dinner table, which for some reason was located in a market in a formerly disused railway goods shed somewhere near Flinders Street. The table needed to be moved to a furniture polishing shop elsewhere in the Melbourne CBD, and ... [More]
