lucid dream #1

category: short stories
scribble tags:

In the dream lucidity hit me when I realised that:

I was sat in the bleechers of an Amercan Football game with a group of friends in the DAMN cold, with cloudy skys and poor view of the game.

What?!  Outrageous,  why on earth would I want to be outside in the cold unable to see the boys on the field?  Lets get this dream on track! 

I persuaded my friends to go in search of a warm drink (probably Tea) as we moved through the crowd there was a speedy, spectacular sunset,  the temperature rose,  the wind stopped,  the crowd stood up and started dancing and drinking beer. 

The best bit was that the changes took on their own momentum.   Unexpectedly: 

the football team turned up on a stage right in front of us.  They weren’t a football team at all.  Close up I could see they were actually ‘Martin Stephenson and the Daintee’s” all wearing Zorro outfits and singing “Candle in the middle

OUTSTANDING Result!  The song sent me back to relaxed deep sleep

phonological similarity III: 7

category: miss interpreted

When pronounced with my regional accent 7 sounds like:

SE’vUUUUURRRRRRRn

The River Severn is Britains longest river and local to my formative youth.  It has the 2nd highest tidal rise and fall in the world and helps constrain splushy fraternization between the English and Welsh.   The name Severn is published all-over-the-house,  in folklore stories, on road signs,  businesses,  bridges ”anna loik‘  (regional pronunciation).  The once local ‘Severn Trent’ water authority was purchased by an US company during the Thatcherite sell-offs of British publicly owned resources.  It now has research sites on the Columbia River in Tri-Cities, WA.

When pronounced with my regional accent Severn sounds like:

SE’vUUUUURRRRRRRn

This marvellous river is responsible for many numerical spelling errors that I loyally persist to this day.  

7 = Severn

On the positive side:

  • None of my Cheques have bounced…    ….yet.   
  • To help local USians understand me I can ‘awmows tawk praahpaaaah’
