(no subject)

A few nights ago, I had a horribly grotesque dream. i was in a big shop, it might have been a supermarket, or perhaps a bookshop, when i saw, tucked in the corner of the room, a small set of steps leadin down to brightly lit basement. The light was coming from a pattern of well-stoked fires in tradional-style fire-places around the room. These fires were what were heating the shop (which was nice and cosy and warm). Next to each one was a simple bed, in which lay a huge, obese, seriously facially deformed person. I found out that these people were deemed too hideously disfigured and obese to be seen by normal society. As a result, there was no hope of them getting a normal job, and the only employment they could have was lying by these fires, guarding them. They were payed, literally, in penuts. But they had to give a portion of them back each month as rent.

On reflection, I can see that certain elements of the dream (the penuts, the preoccupation with heat) are the result of just normal things I had done that day. But still; what an utterly bizzare, scary way for my subconcious to arrange it.

I do love dreams. So very interesting and yet so misunderstood and impossible to truly read.

Thank you for your text today. In reply yes i did have a rather bad day, kinda cryptically mentioned in my LJ. But then i was never that good at saying anything out loud.

Thank you so much for caring (really). I had a lovely time the other night at T.T. hopefully we shall go to another gig soon. Love to see you soon m'dear!

Hope your well and the job interview went ok.
Take care, speak soon.

That dream sounds like it could be a Doctor Who episode!

Hope you're all well apart from that hehe. :) x
