Bad Dreams

Did you ever have one of those weird dreams that fudge their way into reality - something that you have dreamed up and then the vague memory of it becomes fact and confuses you?

I used to have a regular dream that I'd accidently killed someone and hidden the body - every now and then I'd be at work or on the tube or distracted - and remember things I'd forgotten to do that day - it would invariably include "I must remember to move that dead body before anyone finds it " - I can confirm that I've never actually killed anyone - but I do remember once hoovering the bedroom and absent mindedly dismissing the urge to hoover under the bed because 'there was a corpse under it'.

last night I had a weird dream that one of my old students had left the lesson to go to the shops, got caught in a sudden blizzard, and died in a snowdrift. Waking up this morning - I remember thinking - "blimey, that's two students that have died this year " ( again - they are all still alive, I just dreamed the whole thing - honest! - nor was it wishful thinking, they are both students I quite liked. Not sure about the identity of the phantom body under the bed - but it was years ago)

I'm sure I'm going senile - last week I shouted at one of the dogs who had wandered onto a cut lawned area - instead of 'off the grass' - I said 'get off the carpet".
