I find myself in a large open upstairs room something like a Starbucks cafeteria the room is full of all manner of couches, sofa’s easy chairs and padded benches, some of these items of furniture rest on the wooden floorboards but others are suspended in thin air.
Some kind of strange childish competition is taking place in the room involving me and a few other men of roughly my age. The idea is that each of us has to leap and bounce from each cushioned seat to the next without touching the floor, the winner being the one who manages to bounce onto every item of furniture before the others manage to do so.
We all start to jump about the room using the cushioned seats and couches as a springboard to the next sofa, the two other guys don’t play fair and try to push me off some of the items of furniture which are floating in mid air and onto the floor.
I persevere and eventually manage to complete a full circuit of the entire room using only the couches as stepping stones. The feeling of satisfaction and achievement makes me feel elated as I bounce down from the last cushioned chair onto the floor to win the game.
Additional Comments:
Interpretation: I have had a the flu and a fever for the past two days and had a restless night, I had
quite a few dreams but most seemed linked to the fever and were about either wanting to go to the
toilet or go and get a drink of water so I have omitted these feverish dreams as they didn’t seem that
important. The above dream might be either a humorous allusion to my own avoidance or dodging of
trying to be grounded in my waking life or it might simply be a suggestion for me to take some rest,
relax and sit down.
Dream 2: Different perspectives of an independent woman – It is daytime and I find myself walking
through a vaguely familiar and typical English countryside village. I walk past a village green beyond
which is a large stone church, a group of women are performing some kind of outdoor theatre or
musical for passersby and villagers to watch for free. I pause to watch for a moment, the performance
doesn’t really interest me as such but I seem to recognize one of the women here who is singing. The
lady in question looks a little like one of the mothers of a boy who I used to go to school with as a kid,
(the woman was very chic and classy and came from a very wealthy well to do family). I suddenly feel
a sudden surge of dislike for this woman the feeling does not seem to be my own but is more a feeling
of the jealousy or envy my own mother would have probably felt at this woman’s apparently
comfortable and successful life. I don’t like the invasive feelings and try to block them out, I do this
with some success and begin to see the woman in a different light and with my own true feelings. As I
watch the woman singing I start to feel a lot of admiration for her simple pleasures and independence,
her singing and belonging to this group of performers seems to be one of the little pleasures in her life
which brings her happiness. I pay closer attention to the woman’s features noting that her hair has
been dyed yellow for the performance, she has a beautiful rounded face with fine features and what I
would call arcing Egyptian eyebrows. The woman really does look like the mother of the childhood
friend but the closer I look the more I notice she actually looks like my wife, I actually call out to my
wife (who was not previously about) to come and look at the lady to see if she can notice the
resemblance.

I find myself in a huge house it’s not in need of renovation (thankfully!) but appears to have been
recently refurbished. All of the many large unusually shaped open plan rooms in the vast property are
bare and virgin awaiting decorations, in fact almost crying out for some furnishings to bring it to life.
The house is full of such promise and wonder but I feel slightly sad and melancholy because a part of
me feels that the property will never achieve its true potential. I decide to go upstairs and when I reach
the point when my eyes come into line with the upstairs floor I pause and look.
I can see that the floor upstairs has been laid with some kind of particle board which looks too thin to
me. I then look at the floor joists and beams and wonder if the distance between them complies with
the regulations, I wouldn’t want anyone falling through the floor downstairs. I seem to be worrying over
nothing as on reflection the work seems to have been done to a good standard it’s just the perspective
I had of the floor supports which gave me doubts.
Also living in the property are the comedy actor Vince Vaughn and my wife. They seem to have teamed
up to make a kind of annoying duo, for the time being they keep out of my way and are off doing their
own thing.
Later on and in a different location I find myself in a forest with an oriental or Asian human male dream
character and a higher female guide. We all stand in a clearing with a tall concrete wall in front of us
beyond which is a deeper forest, suddenly some huge explosions rock the area behind the wall and
huge showers of mud get thrown way up into the air as if bombs were falling.
At first I feel petrified and wonder what the heck is going on but the Asian man just puts my mind at
ease and tells me that a new railway line, station and rail yard is being built on the other side of the
wall. He seems proud as he tells me that they are using disciplined oriental working practices to lay the
track which seems to be based on some kind of headstrong and unstoppable industrialism.
They are flattening the terrain so they’ll have a clean canvas to build their new railway on, they are
working incredibly fast and efficiently too and I see the rail track and overhead power lines spring up all
about me. I feel a bit stunned by the way the landscape is being transformed, it’s both exciting and
frightening and I’m not sure I feel comfortable with the sudden dramatic changes.
I see an overhead power line (the railway is electric and not diesel) I seem to be stood too close to the
electricity and worry that I’ll receive a deadly shock, I can see the electricity glowing like a neon blue
irregular ball of plasma it’s a mesmerizing sight and very lucid.
I ask the oriental man what I can do about my fear of the electricity and he tells me to remove the
tennis racket that is fixed or fitted to the swivel chair in front of me (??) bizarrely this object really is
just in front of me, I reach down and take a hold of the tennis racket and unclick it from where it is
mounted to the swivel chair. As soon as I do this my panic seems to fade and I feel fine.
At some point later on I find myself in a large pharmacy which is also a music store with many aisles of
CD’s. A male and female accompany me the Oriental man from earlier at the forest and train station is
also here, he is just ahead of us searching through the racks of music CD’s and records.
The male and female tell me as I watch the man that I need to let him run his own show and not
interfere (meaning his life), it becomes clear to me that I am the Asian or Oriental man at this point.
I then find myself back at the house in the beginning of the dream I’ve been sleeping on a couch and
feel very exhausted and tired. I groggily come to feeling a terrible weight bearing down on my chest
and rib cage. I look up through blurry eyes and see Vince Vaughn and my wife stood on my chest.
It is such a stupid and dangerous prank to play and really hurts me I get the feeling that they are doing
this to be spiteful or annoy me, I swear at them both and push them off me.
