Dreamtime 20/12/13

I had many dreams last night; one about a coach taking me home then saying I changed at Brockley for Scotland, another where I went for an early morning jog with lots of thieves running from the victims before being beaten up and one about the Olympics in extreme fog where I rubbed the shoulder of someone I was sure was you but wasn't. You were standing just ahead. But I can't remember them too well because I slept pretty awfully. This last one, however, this one I can.

I was at work counting the money in the safe. Remi had climbed up a ladder in the corner and was looking for something whilst being uncharacteristically chatty. I tell Helen that I have bad news and she tells me I haven't. She's playing with a black bowl that Remi gave her that can amplify sounds by pointing at them, Helen is amazed that she can hear the planes. I then show her the bad news, somebody has accepted a 5 shilling note from Jersey. I go out to the shop floor, it's empty except for Dan and Raedene at the till. I ask them if they know what the note was but they say it wasn't them. I then point out that it even says shillings on it (though by this point the note had turned into a 5 pound one), 4.00063 shillings to be precise. They shrug and I go back in to the office. Helen points the bowl at me and I talk into it. I go to the office computer and a lady appears behind me, asking if I can find her as Spiderwoman. After flicking through various videos of different versions of Spiderman/woman, I come across the Indian 'original'.

I am now the Indian Spiderman (or atleast, floating above him) as he breaks people out of a British jail during the Raj. Everything moves super fast, I am on a horse I think and I can see the British forces trying to pull alongside and arrest me. I jump ahead and get inside a boat that is sailing along the dirt road. I am now not the Spiderman (who looks like Pi in The Life of Pi) but am watching from outside as he hides underneath the boards in the boat. There is a huge scorpion near him, it too is clinging to the underside of the boards. It moves closer towards him, I worry because it is really huge. He holds out his hand and starts singing, the scorpion lifts its tail but seems calm. The Spiderman puts him on top of the board (I am singing along with him).

I am now a new Spiderman with somebody else and we're about to jump from the top of a building down into this wide alley with a small stream of water, a path and a line of grass. We land and I immediately see a tiger on top of some steps. I use my web to pull me high up the wall as the tiger runs at me. I can sense it deciding to climb up onto the roof so once it has gone I drop down and run to the front of the building. It is facing out to sea. I see that the whole front has fallen down and I worry it was my doing but the whole town comes out and says that it was always going to fall.

And that's when I wake up.
