[as the seer of seers, Gabrielle, once sang]<\/em><\/p>\n

I was at a well-attended party.<\/p>\n

It was at a remote country house hotel.<\/p>\n

It was a ‘leaving the country’ farewell party.<\/p>\n

The party wasn’t being thrown for me, it was for a friend of mine.<\/p>\n

She was a Guardian journalist;\u00a0I think her name was Hannah.<\/p>\n

She was short, blonde, cute.<\/p>\n

And she was shortly to depart these shores for Chile (ironically, a country I have always wanted to visit).<\/p>\n

Most of the people there were\u00a0very drunk.<\/p>\n

I was with a friend.<\/p>\n

Can’t remember who.<\/p>\n

Despite most people being drunk, I was quite sober.<\/p>\n

Though I was lying on the floor of the hotel lounge.<\/p>\n

My friend had just told Hannah how funny I was.<\/p>\n

I told Hannah that although I was sober, I was even funnier when I was drunk.<\/p>\n

I told her that I thought of gags when I was in bed.<\/p>\n

And that when I was drunk I wrote my gags down so I’d remember them the next day, but usually I was so drunk that when I read the notes back, my handwriting was illegible scribbles and doodles.<\/p>\n

When I woke from this dream it was 2am.<\/p>\n

I didn’t write it down, I made just enough notes on my phone to enable me to recall the details later.<\/p>\n

Ironically, I couldn’t remember anything about the dream the next morning.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks\u00a0later I found the note on my phone, and the details came flooding back, in full colour.<\/p>\n

In the last twelve months\u00a0I have woken to fading dream-memories just twice.<\/p>\n

The other set of dream notes is far too horrific to recount here.<\/p>\n

If I could find out what I’ve been eating to make these things occur, I’d never touch it again.<\/p>\n

How about you?<\/p>\n

Dreams?<\/p>\n

Nightmares?<\/p>\n
