A Dreamful of Twitterers

While I can normally go into great details with most of my dreams, I don't think I really can with the latest one I had! My last few dreams have always involved people from Twitter, even if I had never met them but it was always just 3 or 4 of them and no more. However last night was like a Superbowl of Twitter friends in my dream.

The gist of the dream was that we were all working together to either find something or someone, its not all clear really as nothing is ever mentioned throughout the dream and everyone seems to be working very hard at trying to do whatever it is we were doing!

@amylong was sitting on the floor in the hallway, with her back against the wall, next to her was @KeithAMusic on one side, @Juleser on the other and next to @Juleser was @Dakit, their heads down in some books, rifling through them. In the kitchen, at the breakfast counter, @_Murph & @Ray_keogh were doing the same thing, @tynanhooper was opposite them working on something on his laptop and just behind him at the large table was @Dublins98Dave who was working on some experiment or other with a lot of tubes, beakers and Bunsen burner boiling some liquid.

I walked into the sitting room and went over to the fireplace, there was a small statue on the mantel which, when moved to the left, turned the room into a super high tech computer lab just like from Spiderman & His Amazing Friends, if your not sure what the hell I am talking about then check out the intro to the cartoon from the 80s and you will see, also, the theme song was pretty cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQwNwQIY73U

I was about to start doing some work on the computer when @amylong rushed into the room telling me they found what we were looking for, she grabbed me and started running out into the garden with @KeithAMusic following us. We made our way over to the shed and the 3 of us got in. There is a keypad to the side of the shed door along with a hand print scanner, @amylong punched in a code while I put my hand down to have it scanned. 4 seconds and the floor started moving down like an elevator until we were underground in large laboratory.

We made our way over to one of the desks where @lorrainelarkin was tapping away at a computer, as we got closer she turned to us. She got up from her seat and told us to follow her. We were taken to a small room with a guitar in it, she said that if we used this newly modified guitar, it would give us the answer to what we were looking for. I asked her how it works and she said just like an ordinary guitar, you pick it up and play. @KeithAMusic picked up the guitar and studied it for a bit before getting it into position. He was about to play a chord when @lorrainelarkin quickly grabbed his hand warning him and us that if the wrong tune was played, it would cause the guitar to explode!

I asked her why make a guitar that could explode with the wrong tune and she replied that it was needed for what @amylong had found. I turned to her and she handed me a piece of old parchment, she said that the letters on the parchment were not words but actually musical chords. When played, they would reveal the answers to what we were looking for, which I still don't know as it was never explained in the dream!

All we had to do know was to figure out all the chords on the parchment and then @KeithAMusic could play it. As we discussed how we would go about extracting the chords, @BrianConn walked up behind us telling us that he had just finished inventing a machine that could easily do the job for us and it would only take 10 minutes. So we followed him over to his section and he showed us what looked like a photocopier, he explained that it was a photocopier but he had tweaked it a little bit and added some extra parts, also, it was powered by kryptonite. Before anyone asks me, I have no idea where this came from, my dreams tend to have the most bizarre things in them and most don't make any sense!

Anyway, @BrianConn put the machine in motion and fed in the parchment, we waited the 10 minutes, wondering what it would sound like when we played the chords and how safe the guitar would be, if it was all a trick and if playing it would doom us all. Eventually the machine finished its job and printed out a page of chords, I took it and gave it to @KeithAMusic, he looked at the page and then at the guitar, then back at the page. @KeithAMusic said it looked simple enough so he grabbed the guitar and set himself up to play what was on the piece of paper. Just as he was about to play the first bit on the guitar there was a loud rumbling sound, suddenly the ground started shaking like an earthquake was hitting us, we tried to keep our balance as we looked for some cover.

And then I woke up! Why do some of my dreams just wake me up at the most inopportune time?
Anyway, that's it for now.

Dont let the Tiger catch you!

Ok, it happened again this morning! I had another weird dream. This time the star of the Dream was Declan Pierce Dave and Dermot.
It all started with Myself and Dec working in some warehouse, Dave and Dermot were both with us too. Dec was in the forklift, stacking up some boxes while Dave was operating some sort of pulley, lifting some other boxes.
I walked in pulling a large cage behind me with a beautiful Tiger in it. Everyone came to check it out but we were all keeping a distance incase the Tiger went for one of us.
Dermot was walking around the cage, checking it out while the rest of us just stood in the one place admiring it when he tripped and fell over. Trying to stop himself from falling, Dermot reached out at the cage only to grab onto the latch and somehow open it.

Everyone screamed and ran away, jumping on the boxes, the Tiger slowly walked out of the cage and looked around the warehouse. It turned to where we were and started to make its way towards us. Dave suggested we split up and make for the high ground so everyone split and started climbing the stacked boxes, jumping from one pillar of boxes to another like they were in a video game.

I slipped at one point and fell down, hurting my back, the Tiger started to come towards me as I tried to get back up. The others began shouting, screaming, trying to get the Tigers attention, hoping to give me a chance to save myself but it was useless. I looked up to see the Tiger right in front of my face and as I raised my hand up, thinking that it would protect me in some way, the Tiger simply licked me. It was very friendly and playful. Everyone was amazed, they slowly came down and made their way over to me, still a little cautious but the Tiger didnt hurt anyone. So we decided to adopt it as our Warehouse Pet and it roamed freely around the place. Then I got woken up by my dad as I had to go to work! I wish I had that Tiger as a pet for real, it was so soft and cuddly and friendly!

A Poem

I found a place 10 days away,
Where the colour of night embraces the day.
I found a Girl who makes me smile,
Her pretty face and Angelic eyes.
I found that I always think of her,
She's all I could ever want, nothing more!

Insanely Bored

Its a New Day and a New Year and I am so bloody bored right now! Because of the Snowfall I am stuck at my parents place, No TV, No Video Games and not my own Laptop. I am blogging from my mothers Laptop, which isnt the fastest thing despite having 1 gig of Ram. Not only that but it doesnt have all my favourites OR any of the games I would usually play to keep myself entertained.

No TV: Well there is a TV but no reception and only Italian stations because thats all my parents really watch. My mother watches Soap Operas so its like Hell for me, I do not want to watch Italian programming because there isnt anything of interest on!

No Video Games: All my consoles were moved to my house once i bought it, I always said I should leave something over at my parents so I had something to do if ever I had to stay here for more than a day but I never did. My sister won a Wii in work and she gave it to our mother because she loves playing Wii Bowling and Wii Fit but she left the console at our place so thats off too now :(

At the moment there is talk of going to the Cinema to see something, I would love to see Sherlock Holmes or Avatar or something else but it seems like the choosen movie is HAPPY EVER AFTERS Eurgh! I would rather go to bed early or take a dip in canal!

This is going to be a very long day, I need to get out and just go somewhere, I dont like being stuck in the house if I have nothing to do or keep me entertained :(

Ok thats it, I am logging off now, If you dont hear back from me on Twitter then fear the worst........now where did i put that hunting knife
