To think that DP should have gone to the police in the first place....(warning: graphic)

OK so DP has been doing some subcontracting work at my old uni. With his friend who i didn't think he had worked with for years. Anyway, it turns out they fell out with the contractor and like the petty buggers that they are, went back and dug up one of the paths that they lay.This was back in the summer. The university is set in woodlands and there are lots of winding, out of the way, paths. He TOLD me this path was out of the way.

Anyway, in typical DP fashion, he dithers and procrastinates and finally comes clean to me that they uncovered a bit of a problem. So i go along to his garage (the garage he gave up about 5 years ago Hmm). The concrete mixer that he hired 5 years ago was still there ffs, turns out he is still paying for it (they call him mr mixer at the hire place, now i know why!) . So DP hands me a carrier bag and what is inside? A fucking severed head Shock, quite well preserved but he insists it was dug up at the path site. He has kept it in the garage, along with the cement mixer (tbh im more angry about this than the head, we can't afford to keep paying for hire on something that we would have paid for ten times over by now).

Now he wants to re-bury the head and reinstate the path Hmm So like an idiot i go along with him, with the head in a carrier bag ffs, back to my old uni to find the path, which of course he can't remember where it is! For some reason, we ended up wandering around my old department, got lost and ended up in the tea room, which had moved, everyone turned and looked at me, i remember some of the professors but no one acknowledged my presence (bit hurtful but relieved not to be asked questions).

We finally find our way outside and everythings changed, there are straw hut bars all over the place and its like some sort of tropical celebration is taking place and there are students EVERYWHERE!

I'm getting worried by this point and thinking that we need to find somewhere else to hide the head. The path where DP found it lead right up to my old department and it seems that someone else has already recovered it.

We know our local woods (theres quite a lot of them) quite well from years of dog walking but I worry that a dog will dig up the head, its been in the back of DP's car, albeit in a plastic bag from the local bookshop (actually quite a thin bag so if you look hard you can make out a face Shock but if you're not expecting to see a severed head i doubt you'd realise) there is going to be forensic evidence isn't there?

I should also like to know, just out of curiosity Hmm who the head belonged to - as a coincidence, when we were walking through the party area (all the tropical bars) i heard on the radio that corpse of a prince was found about 50 miles away - it didn't mention that it was headless but really....it HAS to be the body doesn't it?

I cannot understand why DP didn't just call the police in the first instance, because now we are fucked. I want him to go to the police and explain everything and think that it would be the correct thing to do. I think i managed to persuade him.

I was in bed this morning getting this all straight in my head when DD came in and woke me up.....................Wink

I had to write it down, just to try and straighten it out in my head, they say you should do that at the first opportunity don't they, or you forget things, its all getting vaguer by the minute

Ha ha, if there was ever a call to RTFT this is it. Well done lem Grin hilarious responses. Loving the outrage.

AgentZigzag · 30/12/2014 15:22

Hahahaha thanks hotfuzz, I'm even more disturbed now! Shock

That's a smashing blouse you've got there Shockers Wink

MokunMokun · 30/12/2014 15:32

I usually hate hearing about people's dreams but that was fun!

I'm more disturbed about the Clarkson dream than the severed head dream. That says something!

I'd like to hear more about the Benedict Cumberbatch dream though.

Psycobabble · 30/12/2014 15:42

I was reading this like OHMYFKINGOD!! Hahaha

Phew just a dream !!

MothershipG · 30/12/2014 15:48

I'm sure this thread could be used by a teacher somewhere to illustrate how little attention people pay to what they are reading! Shock So many posters on this thread must have done really badly at their comprehension questions in English language lessons!

How could anyone read I was in bed this morning getting this all straight in my head when DD came in and woke me up.....................wink (complete with wink FGS) and not understand that it was a dream??? Confused

Tanith · 30/12/2014 15:58

The point of it, dear cross readers, is that we now know who on AIBU doesn't bother to read the OP properly before commenting Smile

This is really funny, finding out how many posters don't read the OP thoroughly Grin

lemisscared · 30/12/2014 17:35

does eating cheese genuinely mess with dreams? i might have to eat a load of blue cheese and biscuits later

OP posts:
lemisscared · 30/12/2014 17:46

there could be something in it . Cheese apparently contains a high level of trptophan and other triptamine compounds that are precursors of seretonin and melatonin. This is what is thought to influence dreams.

I take citalopram which is (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and vivid dreams are a well documented side effect.

if i take my meds late with some chocolate covered stilton i reckon i can go back and find out whose head it was. i have remembered some more details but im not going to put them here as they aren't very nice. they are clues though....

It's when you got to the bit about the body of a prince being discovered 50 miles away that I began to wonder if you'd been at the cooking sherry. From then it was easy to conclude it might have been a dream.....

Twenty years or so ago my aunt told me that a couple of children on their way to school idly kicked at a carrier bag in the gutter. That bag did contain a head. It had belonged to the manager of a little corner shop nearby that my aunt frequented. Now that wasn't a dream. It was horrible.

Er Lem......

You sure he's been nowhere near here? Grin

I dreamt that there was a plot afoot to make a hole in the atmosphere and suck out all the oxygen on earth. So my plan was to make a giant tube to filter the oxygen back through to us. I made this tube out of left over bits of mat and sticky tape. In a forest.

I think it means my grasp of science is woeful.

ToriaPumpkin · 30/12/2014 19:06

I am always waking up absolutely furious with DH for something he's done in a dream. He's never concealed a severed head though!

BlackeyedSantaStuckUpAChimney · 30/12/2014 19:36

now that is weird. what the hell has been going on in your life recently to concoct that? weird telly?

Twuntosaur · 30/12/2014 21:08

Lem! Grin I went to university in a very very rural part of Herts, read your part about the woodland, the winding paths, the straw huts, the severed head and was thinking, "this all sounds so plausible!" Grin

Great stuff.

Yy to being angry about the "small" things. I had a very vivid dream that dh was cheating on me and had bought said ow to my house in the middle of the night. He woke me up (still in the dream) and told me to get out now as he wanted to live with her in my house. I was just laughing at him until I realised he'd given her my slippers. At that point I went batshit crazy, accused him of trying to kill me with second hand veruccas and promptly woke up. Poked him awake and told him first thing in the morning I was going to throw away my slippers and he knew damn well why! Poor dh looked terrified Grin

violetwellies · 30/12/2014 21:20

We had a child's jawbone on our mantlepiece for ages (previous marriage, a lifetime ago).
So I didn't think anything odd. I REALLY need to sort myself out I think..

lemisscared · 30/12/2014 21:20

lemisscared · 30/12/2014 21:23

actually violet that reminds me. a friend was working on an old burial site years ago and bought home what they thought was a human jaw bone. i took it home to show my parents but they wouldn't have it in the jouse so i put it in a carrier bag and pegged it out on the line over night Hmm my mum was convinced it carried the plague. ( that is actually true! l)
