It's almost dark in the bedroom
I've slept very heavily for a few hours
And I've just woken up with a bit of a start.
I was dreaming that I was at work and I was hiding behind an iv gantry with
One of the Filipino nurses, a girl called Carmen.
There were zombies shuffling around and one seemed to have caught our scent.
and we were convinced thet we were goners
I am glad I woke up
And I know now just why I have dreamt what I dreamt
For behind the cottage bedroom door
I can hear the long, deep sniffing of a welsh terrier as he noisily comes to terms that
Daddy,who usually takes him for a walk at this time,...is stinking like an old kipper in bed
in the middle of the day.
It seems to be 'weird dream' season. Both Lady Magnon and myself have had some real oddballs recently.
ReplyDelete"is stinking like an old kipper in bed in the middle of the day" - ewwww! good thing you are across the pond and we don't have to sniff you :)!
ReplyDeleteOh that is just what my husband says to me sometimes 'are you still lying stinking in bed?'...although in a smiley laughing way....he knows how many beans make five............
ReplyDeletePoor dog.
ReplyDeletePoor Chris !!!!!! ……. XXXX
DeleteNot kippers, but sharing this blog post which came through my newsfeed today. http://www.aglimpseoflondon.com/2014/10/ted-gets-egged-on.html
ReplyDeleteThis is why I don't watch zombie movies. Now...go walk the dogs. ;-)
ReplyDeleteStrange sounds, smells, and moisture often worry me when I wake from a dream. It takes a moment or two to sort them from reality which is something I can rarely do when completely awake and sober anyway.
ReplyDelete"Daddy"?
ReplyDeleteI think you mean "Servant"
And Zombies? I will never see the attraction of zombie tales, which have always seemed the silliest of scenarios to me (perhaps until I meet one).
...which makes me think the perfect TV show for your tastes as displayed on this blog is surely The Great British Zombie Bake Off
DeleteJust when you thought they were finished they'd be back to bake more
My dog is doing the same every morning at 6 o'clock ,
ReplyDeleteLast night I dreamt that Mary Berry and a presenter from 'Jewellery Maker' were in a 'spaghetti off'. There was a pile of cooked spagehetti on a table and Mary and this other presenter had to see who was quickest at sucking it all up! Gawd knows what was in my mind at the time! Your dream seems comparitively sane!!!
ReplyDeleteP asked me if I'd washed when I got in bed this morning.
ReplyDeleteI just knew that your TV watching preference would get you - one way or another...
ReplyDeleteI don't dream often but I too woke up today with a bizarre dream. Strange but funny morning going around.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Eating pizza too close to bedtime does that to me.
ReplyDeleteMy morning started at 5am with one oversized orange cat sitting on my head, and another full of beans kitty sitting on top of me.
ReplyDeleteThey are the most reliable alarm clocks are they not?
I'm tempted to start watching your Zombie thriller !

I hate waking up to frightening dreams, not a good way to start the day...
ReplyDeleteJohn
ReplyDeleteJust don't have the ones where your grandchildren (substitute whatever works there) are free-climbing up the side of a 80 story skyscraper on the outside, sans ropes. The 4 year old clinging by fingertips to ledges, waving at you.
That's the time I wake at 2am, wondering if I need another 100mg of atenolol.
You are very quiet Johnxx
ReplyDeleteI think he's been on night-shift Rachel …. shhhhhhh !! XXXX
DeleteIt's not just that.
DeleteI love it! I am so glad that there is someone else whose dog calls him Daddy - folk think I am soft.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when dreams and reality merge, it always gives me the creeps.
ReplyDeleteOur dogs call us Mum and Dad (well they do when we are doing the talking) and we refer to them as 'sisters' as they are all girls and live together. I think we confuse some of the old dears that walk up and down Llandudno prom when we stop and talk to them and answer their doggy related questions about our mixed brood. More than once we've been asked "are they from the same litter then?" .... the mind boggles!!
