Interesting dream last night..... I became a father.
I was in this room, with four new-born babies. Two boys and two girls. The first boy and girl were introduced to their fathers, then we came to the other two. I think deep deep down I was hoping for the boy as I wasn't sure which of them was mine, but once I was told that the girl was mine, any thoughts of disappointment or anything flew out the window. Here was this beautiful baby girl, just a day old yet way way bigger than any of the other babies! I was wondering how in the hell somebody my size made a baby already so big! Of course the mother was nowhere in sight no way to know. Anyway, that was just a short lived thought as I marvelled at this new bundle of life, lying there looking peaceful and content.
A few hours later, I was cleaning some food off from under her chin when she said, "You're not cleaning that well." I was flabbergasted!! I looked at the other parents in the room to see if they heard anything and they were all staring at me, open mouthed and wide eyed! I guess I wasn't imagining what I thought I was imagining. Immediately I start getting super duper excited, thinking of the marvel I had here! Just think, a one day old baby talking! Of course it was just a few words but holy crap!!
End of story... sorry. Normally a short dream like this fades away quickly but for some reason this one stuck. Interesting.....

Crash through the mist....
Ok, I'm back... after nights and nights of dreamless sleep or less than vivid dreaming.
Let's get straight on shall we?
I find myself in an aeroplane cruising the skies with Ro making a cameo appearance in the row behind me. In the middle of one of our usual un-serious conversations, the passengers noticed us losing altitude at an alarming rate. We just kept dropping faster and faster and funnily enough, the panic hadn't yet set in. The next time I look out the window I see trees flashing by. Looks like we were going to crash on some deserted island and I was wondering how it would feel like to smash through trees as I buckled my seatbelt. We were now right in the trees but I felt no bumps or scrapes whatsoever! We were smashing through the trees without actually hitting them! Don't ask me how, I mean what makes sense in a dream huh?
I brace myself for the eventual hammer blow of the crash and lo and behold, there under the trees is this nice, soft river. A softer crash landing I will never ever feel in my life. It felt like we landed on a river of cotton wool, except for the fact that instead of floating, we starting sinking straight away, head first! Water started flooding in faster than you could believe so we quickly pulled the latch on the door conveniently next to our seat and after more water got in, managed to swim out of the plane and safely to shore. The rest of the passengers managed to get out too, thankfully (don't know where Ro disappeared to though).
We all gathered around, wondering where in the hell we were and what in the hell we were going to do. One hero wannabe pops up saying he can lead us back to civilization, so with no better idea, we decide to follow. After hours and hours of walking through the forest, we come upon the first sign of civilization be it a small sign. It was simply a small, wooden gate standing right there in the middle of the forest, attached to no wall on either end and providing, basically no use whatsoever. We walked on through thinking nothing of it really, and found ourselves walking through a deep, heavy, dark fog. Again, not thinking much of it, we kept walking. The scene shifts to the last person in the group; a shaved head fellow casually following the human caravan through the mist. Close up to his head and bloody spots start appearing (as if he cut himself shaving multiple times). His cries of alarm alert us that something is seriously wrong with this mist so we quicken the pace, while more people start bleeding from here and there. We then realize that this mist is anything but.... it's alive! and feeding! We have no choice but to keep running and all of a sudden reach another gate, exactly the same as the first. We go right through it without even wondering what it's all about but for once things take a turn for the better. It turns out that those gates were in fact there to keep the mist inside the area between them. We could clearly see that the mist stopped right at the very gate itself and could not cross.
With sighs of relief, we trudge on till we appear at yet another sign of civilization.
With the light quickly fading, we arrive at one end of what seems to be an abandoned facility of some kind. We can't tell how long it goes as there was the forest on both sides but it was quite narrow (about half the width of a football field). We figure it will be the safe to stay there for the night, and maybe we could cross a section of the forest through the facility rather than go through the forest itself. I for some reason am the last one in and by this time it's fully night outside. Inside was no better, in fact it was even worse.
With the facility being abandoned, there was of course no electricity, and the windows were all completely boarded up so there was zero light entering the place. Imagine yourself underground far far down, far far away from any light whatsoever. Darkness so complete, you can't even see your hand waving right in front of your face. That was the darkness we encountered. I'm sort of claustrophobic so already I was a bit freaked out but I kept on going. Each room I passed through was occupied by the people, using candles to keep away the doom and glood surrounding us, though they were not much help really. The other thing was the complete lack of sound in the place, as if the walls and windows were soundproof so no sound from the forest could penetrate. I walked on and on through room after room and realized that this facility could very well go on from miles with no end in sight! And what was the guarantee that there was an opening at the other end? Bloody hell, now I was really starting to freak out! Finally I came upon the last of the group and they were actually old boarding school buddies of mine, which was nice.
I quickly got myself as comfortable as possible, trying to forget the complete blackness around me, and the complete lack of sound, and fresh air, and tried to block it all out. It seems I did an excellent job of it because I woke up right about then. Good thing too, as I was not prepared to endure what lay ahead, in the darkness...
Good night...
