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

This has just made my night!! The people commenting that actually believe it, and then making out they are actually annoyed as you have wasted their precious time......i am in hysterics!!!

i love a good crazy dream, i get them quite often but rarely remember them.

my last crazy one was that i was a crack addict living in a crack den with a drug dealer crackhead boyfriend who had killed my sister but i forgave him and then the police were after us, they got into the house and i escaped through an upstairs window and fell off the roof.

i have never ever taken crack, or been in a crackden and i don't have a sister. Just bizarre!

I have really weird dreams. I dreamed my brother's DP had been kidnapped by the go compare man. And that I was in a shopping centre with Gok Wan. And that my unborn DS1 had bat wings that showed through my skin as he turned over inside me. And that my brother was knitted - like a live knitted doll in a pram (he was a baby at the time). There are many many more, those are just a few of the more memorable ones. There should be a weird dreams board.

GlitterBelle · 31/12/2014 00:20

So yes, University of Kent then!

I remember the albino squirrel to - but only friends of friends had seen it, never anyone directly!

MrsMcRuff · 31/12/2014 00:29

So.....getting back to your dream SmileThey say that it's the feeling you are left with on waking from a dream, that is more telling than the actual details. Did you feel relieved/anxious/angry/bewildered?

ScrambledSmegs · 31/12/2014 00:36

I keep dreaming that couples are splitting acrimoniously. Two nights ago was DH's cousin and partner. Last night was us Shock

I've been unreasonably hacked off with him all day. How dare he dream-divorce me!

ScrambledSmegs · 31/12/2014 00:38

That pales into comparison with some of the anxiety dreams I had when pregnant though. The worst was when I gave birth to a baby-sized live prawn. The eyes...

MrsCurrent · 31/12/2014 00:44

Ok so I run on my own in the dark round a uni that has woodland paths, has constant building work and even these round wooden hut things. I'm going to be cacking it next run now! That's the kind of random shit my brain comes up with when it allows me to sleep (aka not now!).

QueenBean · 31/12/2014 00:55

This. Absolutely this. I have loved all the reactions so much more than the original post.

MN is so full of time wasting shit that all you complainers have far more to complain about than just reading this thread.

LongDistanceLove · 31/12/2014 01:05

Just caught up from earlier, I'm amazed at the people taking it seriously.

Strangest Dream I ever had, I was in the jungle, but the jungle was in a massive warehouse sized room, I was swinging from tree to tree, it was all good until I died, normally you'd wake up at this point, but not me, I then turned into a packet of frozen mixed vegetables, and was being thrown around by animals, I could even 'smell' the smell of rotten flesh. That was about ten years ago and I still remember it now.

I love dreams where you know you are dreaming, and can control them.

ipswichwitch · 31/12/2014 01:39

God I've had some corkers before. I've dreamed all my teeth fell out, and woke in a total panic feeling for them and running to the mirror. I had a recurring nightmare about running from that bizarre orange hairy thing in the bugs bunny cartoons through a house, and having to hide in the iron maiden (because every house has one of those, right?), and basically impale myself.

Or the really vivid recurring nightmare about a house near us, whose occupants kidnapped my family and held tem in the basement. I went all ninja on their asses and rescued them, but every time I went past the house i'd feel physically sick.

I have dreamed DH cheated on me and woke up so convinced it was real, I started packing his bags for him!

I've had some totally demented dreams that I usually forget, so maybe I should start writing them down. I'm always exhausted by morning, because they play out like a film so it's like I'm living it all. I had no dreams whatsoever the time I was in sleeping pills, and it was great!

ToffeeCaramel · 31/12/2014 02:11

I very occasionally have lucid dreams Longdistance but I like it when I do.

Wth....... is this a joke Shock I can't read the other comnents.

This morning I woke up and realised I was late for school and going to be in big trouble. Then I realised I didn't where the hell I was! Who's house was I in? Why wasn't I in my bed in my dad's?!

Then I really woke up Grin

Bulbasaur · 31/12/2014 03:06

Blast! The "It was all a dream" trope. Angry

I was about to ask what you were on and where to get it. Now I am left with empty disappointment.

I have a lot of teeth dreams for some reason. Most common one is minding my own business eating a bowl of teeth cereal, and plot twist! It's my teeth I'm eating. I'm always shocked for a moment, then decide they taste good enough to continue and have inane conversations with whoever is in the dream with me eating their teeth cereal while they still have their teeth.

I always wake up and quickly run my tongue along all my teeth to make sure they're all still there. Grin

lemisscared · 31/12/2014 10:46

UPDATE Oh, the disappointment! Despite the cheese, all i managed was a sleepless night trying to orchestrate my brain into solving the mystery of the severed head, i just couldn't get back there :(

The only dream i had involved me taking part in a school trip with DD where we went to switzerland, there was a sporting event in a giant school hall then I was accosted by gypsies wanting to draw my portrait in street artist stylee. They got quite nasty when I refused. I was then trying to get back to the school hall, through a gothic city and had to traverse over bouncy castle type obstacles and ended up in a giant swimming pool with the inflatable slides (this dream thing happens a fair bit).

So it seems that cheese is useless for dreams - sorry guys.

Are MNHQ removing posts by request now, because the poster is a bit embarrassed?

God, if I had every post where I made a tit of myself on here removed my entire posting history would be deleted.

Hatespiders · 31/12/2014 11:28

You had me there op for a bit. Was totally horrified. Grin

In my old age I have the weirdest dreams too. I sometimes wake up laughing my head off. Recently it was about Africa. I was conducting a choir on the banks of a river in the warm sun. But the choristers were all crocodiles lined up in a long row, singing away at Allegri's 'Miserere'. I must have been exercising a modicum of logic in all this, because they were vertical, with the ends of their tails stuck into the earth to prop them up, and their white bellies facing me. They even had the right voices. A smaller one on the end was the soprano and reached the high notes beautifully.

(I'm not on any medication by the way!)

ToffeeCaramel · 31/12/2014 12:33

Have mnhq removed any posts Scrambled?
