In all honesty, since I were young I have always found people talking about their dreams in any great depth a bit tedious and puerile, until recently. I've been having some really strange and disturbing ones. I have learned to wake myself up, too, to talk to myself in my dream and note 'this is a dream, it isn't real' or such.
I have just been for a nap after a very busy week and woken up shaking, so much so that when I went downstairs to make a cup of tea I was still shaking and dropped shit out of the cupboard everywhere
.
So I am in this van (I don't and am scared to drive vans) and going down the motorway. I am terrified because this van has really odd controls, the gear stick is too far away for me to comfortably reach, I have to lean over to it and the steering is operated with a device a bit like a computer mouse. I also can't see much out of the windscreen, it is a tiny little window and I can only see just a tiny bit of the road. I can't see where I am going but eventually I come off the motorway, get out of the van with a pushchair, (nothing in it!) leave it to one side and try to find a loo. I can't find one and as I come out to collect my pushchair I see a woman kicking and throwing it. I ask her very nervously what she's doing and she just shouts at me but gives me it back. I then carry on going and another woman who's seen what happened follows me and asks if I am okay. I tell her my predicament with the van and she offers to come with me to help. She does, and another woman comes out of nowhere gets in too, only the first woman keeps coming onto me, sucking my nipples while I drive. She also throws the mouse away so I panic but manage to keep on driving. This whole scenario continues until I get home, and parking is so difficult outside my house (it was my actual house!) and I struggle and fail and have to drive around the block again, and eventually end up back on the motorway. It's at this point I wake!
What would you make of that? Why does my brain do this when I am trying to relax!
