Dream Journal Entry 27th Dec 10
I observe four young children stab another child voilently with a penknife. I do not feel any sympathy toward the child as it does not appear to feel any of the stab wounds. As I walk away I throw down a larger knife for the children to use.
I now find myself driving R around town. The roads are covered in snow and ice. I am trying to arrange a driving lesson and I am looking for the instructors house. The instructor is infact one of the Jedward twins although I cannot remember his name. I pull up to the house and park the car but there is a notice on the window which states ‘house closed’.
I now find myself grabbing a prostitutes arm. She is wearing a pink knitted dress. I notice that she is extremely old. The prostitute has not stayed the full hour as I only got a train from Fife at 6pm and it is not yet 7 pm. I grab her arm tighter so that she cannot leave and ask her to return my wallet and the other items she stole. I open her purse and take out my wallet and some other items that I dont recognise and let her leave out the back door.
I look out the window and watch as the prostitute turns into a rabbit or a puppy carrying a platic bag and handbag in her mouth. I feel sorry for her so I go outside and hold the platic bag open as she runs into the bag collecting items and placing them into her handbag.
A little later I am sitting listening to a girl giving instructions on a particular survelliance technique. A man behind me. Is distracting her and everyone by unscrewing something from a radiator. I look up at the blackboard and can see coded messages and drawings relating to people who are currently under survelliance.

I find myself in a large shopping cente. I walk into a shop which becomes a holiday resort with a beach and a swimming pool. There must be at least a hundred people around the pool enjoying their holiday. I look more closely at the surroundings and the foundations of the pool seem to be made up of human remains as there are bones and skulls everywhere. No one seems to be paying any attention to this but the swimming pool seems to have been built upon a site where a masacre may have occurred. I think to myself that I should have brought my camera but suddenly an emergency warning alarm goes off and dirty water or chocolate starts pouring in through the door. Everyone tries to get as high as they can. A woman starts throwing emergency gloves to everyone but tells me that I can’t have them as I am a Christian. I do not understand what she means but manage to escape back into the shopping centre.
I now find myself walking down a street with an unknown girl. An Alsastian dog runs up to the Continue reading

Dream Journal Entry: 9th November 2010
I walk into a classroom or lecture hall which appears to be where a previous employer is now located. I seem to be asking for my old job back and then signing a contract. However, I know that the wages will be low. I walk into another room and put on a radio which is playing sounds of the ocean. I am asked to turn it off as there is a lecture in the other room. In my mind I am preparing to have a shower however I end up outside in the carpark.
I walk toward a white van and notice my cousin is sitting in the back. I climb in. He hands me a can of lager and we start drinking although it appears we should be in class. We move around to the front seats and continue drinking.
A little later a policeman appears at the side of the van. We hide the cans of lager. I open the window but it seems he has only approached the van in order to offer me some homemade cakes. I hesitate at first but eventually take one of the cakes which looks to be in the shape of a gingerbread man. The policeman walks off into the distance and we continue drinking.

I find myself in a concentration camp or complex where people have been brainwashed. They seem to be walking around to the same step. However, I am not part of this and seem to be able to think freely. Someone hands me a glowing circular object and I throw it over the wall and jump over after it. I land in a pond.
I walk around the complex but notice that people have become aware of my presence and it wont be long before I am found out. I can see two people staring at me. They both have red circle’s on their forehead and cheek. As they walk closer to me pointing I can see that there is a number 5 in the middle of the circle. I decide to leave.
I notice there is a queue forming for people who wish to leave and join the peace corp. I join the queue hoping that no one will notice.

I seem to be in bed watching a screen or computer monitor showing share prices. There are others in the room. I recognise two people as work colleagues. There is girl in the room who may in fact be a man as everytime she turns away and back again she seems to grow a beard. I recognise a man in the room as Billy Connolly although he does not look like him. He is lying on the ground and the girl with the beard asks him if he recognises me. He studies my face. After a few moments he asks if my name is Martin. I shake my head. It then becomes clear to him who I am and he realises I pushed him down some stairs when he was drunk. I decide to leave the room.
I walk around and I seem to be in a school or workplace. I look out the window and I can see people playing football in the playing fields. I realise this is Beath High School

I break into my parents house and wander around. I am unsure why I am breaking in however I take some money and letters from a drawer and leave. I return the next day and again break into the house. This time I notice that there is a light on. I realise my father is still in the house so I quickly run out the door as fast as I can. I can hear him shout in the distance.
A little later my father appears at my house which seems to be the same house as my parents. I do not answer at first. He walks away and a boy appears at the door. I answer this time. The boy is asking to take away my cat to the vets. As I walk back into the house my father appears again holding some letters.

The Colour of Dreams
Hoss (2010) carried out a content analysis of 38,063 dream reports to investigate the significance of colour in dreams. According to Hoss, most of our dreams contain some colour content although we rarely recall the colour upon waking. The focus of the study was on the frequency of specific colours rather than whether dreams contained colour or not.
Hoss discovered that black and white (named individually as colours) were the most frequently reported colours. Next was Red followed by the group of yellow, green and blue. Brown was also a significant colour.
Hoss concluded that the specific colours that we recall from dreams do not appear to be wholly influenced by waking visual experience or by personal preferences. Colour appears to be more closely linked to neurological mechanisms and psychological factors/emotional response. Hoss believes the recall of colour from dreams is an important area for continued study.

I have my final exam today even although I am not at university. It seems to be for mathematics or something similar. The dream seems familar and I believe I have been here before. I realise that I havent studied for the exam and I have now run out of time. It become apparent that if I fail this exam I fail everything.
It is now the day of the exam. I am running late. I only have ten minutes in which to get there. I will not make it.

I can see my uncle pulling into the driveway and I fear the worst. I turn to my sister and tell her to go upstairs out of the way. I walk outside the front door to meet my uncle. I ask him what is wrong. He immediately tells me that my mother has committed suicide. Continue reading

I am walking down a street. I can see my dog in the distance. I appear to be walking him although I do not usually walk him off the lead. In the distance I can also see a woman carrying a lot of black plastic bags. I watch as she picks up my dog and asks people around her who the dog belongs to. No one answers her. I shout from the far away that it is my dog. I run toward her however I am too late as she puts my dog in one of her bags and disappears.
