Last night I dreamed that I had to step in to present ABC TV’s 7.30 at the last minute. I didn’t have time to change, so I went on camera wearing a red floral shirt with food stains on it, and smudged glasses.
The autocue was poorly operated, however, and what was being displayed made no sense. I can work with an autocue, and have done so various times perfectly well, but I knew this was going to be blamed on me. I tried to recover as best I could, but it was still a disaster.
The program, which is broadcast live, was abandoned. I had a long conversation with the executive producer, who knew what had really happened, but he said he was powerless to intervene.
I was told to join the Teams meeting, but I didn’t have a login because I was only a contractor, so I just lurked behind some other staff. They felt sorry for me.
Later, when I was walking home, I passed an open-mic stand-up session in tent in a shopping mall, where one performer was mocking me. He couldn’t see me, but the audience could. They laughed. 1/2

I took a bus home, which was some sort of megabit but with military styling. It drove very fast. I was dropped off near a police cordon which initially was to keep the road clear for a parade of Olympic motorcyclists, which is a thing now apparently.
Further down the highway, the police cordon was there to kettle in some SovCit pro-freedom protesters, who were all dressed like Left Shark and riding bicycles.
I can’t remember what happened after that. But I now remember walking past a university’s residential college where al the students were dressed in togas. Anyway, The End. 2/2

@stilgherrian don’t you just sometimes wish your subconscious would just send you an SMS if it has something important to say?

@stilgherrian to be able to remember your dreams is amazing. I always just get a vague feeling of doing something like maybe ‘I’m on stage’ but no recollection of what I was doing on stage and that kind of thing. I know it’s (probably) related to substances that you take but I’d like the experience of reliving these dreamscapes.

@buddhawilliams “Substances” lol. These are prescribed medications by an actual doctor. :) So yeah this part is fun. The part that isn’t fun is the blurring of dream stage and wakeful sate for anything up to half an hour sometimes. That’s very disorienting.

@stilgherrian oh I can imagine. We just need to perfect the drugs so we get one and not the other 🤣

@buddhawilliams Yeah most of the psychiatric drugs are blunt instruments we don’t really understand, and yet for so many of us the tradeoffs are worth it. Probably.
