Daytime and I’ve just got off a flight which has brought me to England and to my childhood hometown, I’ve planned to meet up with my Mum and little sister at the old market house.

My Mum and sister seem very disappointed in me because I haven’t brought them any presents, it wasn’t my fault as I was rushed and didn’t have any time. I try to make up for this by hurrying around the town in search of something to buy them like some nice chocolates as a gift.

Additional Comments:

Thoughts: Dream recall was poor from last night as I had a late night but also woke up very early I could sense other dreams there in the background but they were just too hard to pull back. Memory definitely seems to have something to do with feeling rested, maybe in such instances the body uses the sleep time for repair and rest and the dreams get knocked over into the daytime in the form of daydreams and brief flashes of what feel like dreams?

    Pulling up my special socks.

    It appears that I have been staying over at my Mum’s house in my bedroom it is morning time and I have just woken up and am still in bed. I peer over to a large terrarium sat on a sideboard where I have two pet tortoises I am irritated to see that they are not how I had left them the previous night.

    I am aware that the previous day I took a great deal of time tidying their little house and making it clean and comfortable, and now it looks like somebody has come along and put them into a smaller house and shaken it about aggressively. There is water spilt all over the floor, food scattered about and a small house like sheltered upturned. The two tortoises are stood on the upturned objects looking about and wondering what has happened. I feel almost certain that it is my step father who is responsible for this.

    A bit later I find myself in another room which was also my bedroom for a short while. I am sat on the end of the bed getting dressed and putting on a pair of really special socks they are very long almost like stockings in fact except that these are woollen. The special socks have many multicoloured bands up and down them the colours are very bright and make me feel very happy and so does the act of putting the long socks on too, I find that there is something very positive about it.

    Suddenly my Mum enters into the room without knocking and nearly scrapes the bedroom door over the toes of my other foot. I become quite cross in part because she didn’t knock and respect my privacy and secondly I can see by the look on her face that she is about to start her “So when are you coming back home to live with me” routine as she can see that I am getting dressed and ready to leave. I try not to let the situation aggravate me anymore and ask her to leave and close the door as I continue to find pleasure and comfort in pulling my socks up.

    Additional Comments:

    I guess the part in the dream with my Mum must sound really awful but it actually reflects my current life situation very much, it is something which is actually causing me a great deal of stress as it is something that my Mum constantly brings up whenever we speak.

    I’ve got a feeling that the shaking up of the tortoises wasn’t such a bad sign and might be a demonstration or suggestion to try and shake things up in my life and force some new changes. I’ve read that tortoises can represent creatures that don’t take chances and tend to withdraw from conflict so maybe this is where the shake-up is needed. This could be reinforced by the act of ‘pulling up my socks’ implying that it is something that I need to work at, I need to stop keeping my feelings inside, come out of my shell and speak my mind perhaps.

    The wedding shroud.

    I get a (dream) phone call from my Mum she is telling me in a gossipy hurried kind of way about a couple of big family get togethers that are coming up soon and that she wants to invite me over to attend some of them.

    She goes on to tell me that an aunt on my fathers side of the family is going to be getting married shortly. As soon as I hear this I immediately become disappointed as this is an aunt I am quite fond of, she is the one who often appears in my dreams as being hip and trendy (I actually recall feeling quite jealous in the dream almost as if I wanted her all to myself, it was as if I had strong feelings of love and affection for her).

    (In reality my Mum has no contact at all with this side of the family and she has been divorced from my father for many years. There is lots of very bad feeling between both families therefore no such contact would ever take place in reality....I can only assume that this dream is symbolic somehow?).

    My Mum goes on to describe the wedding dress that my aunt will be wearing, it is going to be something like a huge white blanket just like a burial shroud which will be wrapped all around my aunt, it so long that it will drape all over the floor too. I see an image in my minds eye of my aunt all covered up in the huge white sheet with just her face showing through a small hole. The sight of my aunt in this unusual shroud is quite eerie there is also something religious about it and a bit mysterious too.

    As I see this image I become even more low and melancholy, I sense that the man she is going to marry is not really for her and is some kind of mysterious warlock like character with dark powers. I see him dressed in a black modern men’s wedding suit which has no lapels and no collars, it has some kind of ornamental horizontal gold braiding on the jacket something like a drummer boy from the olden times might wear

    My mother doesn’t seem to think anything unusual of the shroud like wedding dress, this surprises me as I would have been sure that it was something a woman would pick up on and take an immediate dislike to.

    Additional Comments:

    I had other dreams this night but most of them are now lost, I was woken abruptly this morning by some people knocking at the door and again (like yesterday) was distracted and lost my concentration on all of the dream memories that I had stacked up.

    Holding onto those dream memories is so tricky, a bit like soap bubbles one minute they are there and then ‘pop’ they’re gone....oh well hopefully tomorrow I’ll get to wake up in a less abrupt way and manage to get back to getting all of my notes jotted down.
