I thought it would be a good idea to write down some of my weird dreams during this particularly up and down period of my life.
I remember several separate dreams last night. The first was that I was getting a lift somewhere with Chris Addison and was finding him pretty attractive, and we had a big chat about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We ended up hanging out with mutual friends in some studenty accommodation. Not an incredibly strange dream really.
Next, I dreamed that I was being given a tour of a huge house by a rich girl and her dad. We got to one 'wing' and they told me they'd bought an actual part of a Northern Rock building ('Room 5' iirc) and attached it to their house, then decorated the interior as a replica Starbucks, with the counter and sweets and everything. We all took some pastries and stuff then went to sit down, and at this point the room morphs into Ciaran's parents old living room and I'm on the sofa with a guy who appears to be some kind of humanoid alien. He looks a bit like David Bowie. He seems to be some kind of space royalty and is asking me about my appearance. Somehow I now have silver paint on my skin with turquoise bands around my ankles, fading upwards into the silver. I make a joke about being 'shackled by green' and he only shows concern in response. Then I remember it's Halloween and my hairdresser was going to bring her baby to my house but I wasn't there, then someone else at the alien gathering compares the alien king to another of my friends as they are both 'massive hipsters'.
Next and most fucked up I dreamed that my mum 'died', she fell from a cliff edge whilst walking in Crete with my dad and a walking tour. It was too dangerous to go down to look for her so Dad came home not knowing where she was and if she was alive. My sister was really upset and I kept asking people if she was really dead, but they didn't answer me. Dad was also really upset. Around the same time my ex best mates sister had died in a car crash, and I watched their mum driving past my old house as me, my sister and a friend picked weeds or something from the driveway. It was a really really hot day and I remember thinking that for October it could be a record breaking temperature, which was very exciting. I kept intermittently getting tearful about my mum, but it obviously hadn't properly sunk in. It turns out she was alive and well and called us from hospital.
Other dreams I don't remember much about was almost finishing a new recording of one of my old songs and it sounding amazing, and another that I'd unknowingly moved into the nearest house to my friend Laura's house in the middle of nowhere. Her house and the surrounding countryside pop up in my dreams incredibly regularly, who knows why.
Anyway, that's it.
