kingandy | Late Night Leads To Vivid Dream Shock

Okay so

Last night I was late to bed due to twatting about with my new hard disk. When I slept it was, perchance, to dream.

I remember being at my Mum's house and waking up to find she and Ant had left for the day; when I got into my car I found a big list of things to fetch and do, and when and where they would like to be picked up.

It's probably not relevant but the list was written on corrugated cardboard.

Setting off down the road I realised that - since I had not been expecting to go out that day - I had not locked the door. I reflected that it probably wasn't important as Ilkley is a quiet town and not prone to walk-in burglars.

Then some other things happened which I don't recall.

The next think I remember is returning home (with Ant) to find the door open; many items of my mother's were missing. The TV; the PC monitor; randomly, the table and some of the chairs from the breakfast room. Though not the first time I looked. Only the second. (It hadn't "vanished" as such. I just hadn't "noticed" they were missing on first look.)

It was quite disturbing; it was mid-afternoon, the sun was shining, nothing had been broken or disturbed. Otherwise it was a quite pleasant afternoon with no signs of distress. Things were simply missing.

And then I woke up, in a bit of a panic. Luckily Ant was real, so I calmed down.

I think I am going to try and remember to lock the flat door at night in future. It's clearly been worrying me.
