Silly domain wasn’t working yesterday. I couldn’t share my wonderous new discovery! I’ve been making malted hot choc every night with Horlicks and hot choc powder – it’s a lovely mix. However I bought some Chocolate Horlicks and it is sooooo yummy, it’s untrue. A must buy for your cocoa at bedtime.
Half day today, so we went to Lu’s for a long walk to a pub with the dogs, lunch at the pub and then the walk back. It was exhausting, and that plus exersise the night before and late nights for a while meant I crashed out at about 4 today and slept til 7. I had the weirdest and most unpleasant dream – it was as dramatic as a Hollywood movie! John Travolta as he is in Swordfish was the baddie, and Gorden Ramsay (don’t ask) was the goodie. There was a lot of back story that involved the baddie killing and hurting animals and the goodie saving me/us from the baddie’s domain – running up and down staircases into various rooms with the animals in, as well as some very nice dining furniture. However I can only remember the last scene clearly.
The baddie was in a huge white tower room thing, with a rather superfluous amount of bamboo and rope stairways leading all over the space, from the ground up to a door near the ceiling. He was on the landing up there. The goodie, and I think me as well, had escaped so it was like one of those films where although the goodie has triumphed they set the scene for a sequel with the baddie showing he’s not beaten yet. So he was setting some kind of trap on the stairways and testing it using a doped sheep (yes, sheep). The sheep was anamatronic/cgi – it looked realistic but had human movements like animals in kids films. It’s mouth was attached to a bit of bamboo railing and there was a man frying meat either side of it – the sheep seemed to be on a grill. The trap was activated and the sheep started spinning on it’s axis, very very fast. The frying man backed off, as indeed anyone does when sheep start spinning. Now, if you think of movies where vampires die or where the event horizon is breached etc and everything happens in slow motion or in a way that no-one could ever really see it, there’s slow sad music and lots of special effects as skin flakes of dying vampires etc. And where they make something that should be horrible kinda beautiful – a vampire dying being being burned alive by the sun shouldn’t be a beautiful tragic scene, but because the vampire in question had a change of heart and became a goodie near the end and fell in love with the hero of the flick it is now beautiful and sad and noble etc. That’s the atmosphere of this scene – Blade II, with sheep. So we zoom into the sheep and focus on it’s head – evidently the camera spinning with it as the head is now still and the background is spinning. Cue sad music, the skin on it’s head starts to flake until the pressures are too much and a burst of bubbles (yes, bubbles) are released. Zoom out again, music still going, it’s head flies off under the force of the spinning and then a voice over suddenly narrates the next bit saying something like “the forces are too extreme in it’s innards decorate the walls in a gruesome art display”. And then to complete the weirdest dream of my life (including the one where we travelled on a bus by holding onto the outside, then went into a newsagents and saw some ribbon) the bloody credits started! They were parchment style. My dream had CREDITS!
:confused: So, dream analysts… what in the name of all that is sheepie did THAT mean?
I hope there isn’t a sequel.
