Chinese Dream and Various bits

During a lot of the last week I have had several bouts of interrupted sleep. These are full of fragments of dreams and uncomfortable body positions / snoring waking me up.

I remember a dream where I was on holiday accompanied by a young Chinese guy. We walked about streets and shopping centres. I cannot remember where we were but it was definately not in the UK. Also, he seemed to vanish a few minutes before the dream ended.

Last night I dreamed that I was back at work at Ordnance Survey. I was shown around the place and was surprised at how much it has changed - a lot more open plan than I remember. Then I am in a shared house talking to some people before realising that I am late for a meeting. Its 10pm but by the time a grab my things it may have been 10:30pm. Then I look left and see the clock saying 11:30pm. This appears to be a reflection through a picture in my Mum's livingroom in Barry. I look at my watch and it says 10:30pm.

Interpetations

Ordnance Survey indicates desire to get back to work and preferably work that is stimulating. Confusion over time appears to be an issue either with my sleeping or trying to find the time to do all the things that I need to do. Maybe I need to do on holiday too.

Dual Perspectives

This is part of a dream that I had about a week ago.

I'm indoors watching a virtual projection of someone performing a stunt from 2 small platforms (like diving boards) that are set at impossible angles and indeterminate distance from each other. The scene is too small so I zoom in and in the process become the person performing the stunt. This is occuring outdoors above a tall building whilst my body is inside and sat down.

By concentrating I slow down time and performing the twisting stunt as if in slow motion. At several points divided into fractions of a second my viewpoint switches from participant to observer and I get the feeling that I'm driving two bodies (people) simultaneously. Yet I can also detect the shifts of perception of parallel processing as discrete but very small moments of time.

Eventually I direct the jumping stunt from point 1 to point 2 in space and relax in my chair. I am aware that other people are present too.
