Fire Escape

Cheese: Stilton (approx. 100g)

I was in a very large single storey building. I seemed to be staying there when the roof caught fire. At first this was pretty terrifying, I ran to find my wife and cheese surfer jr and hurriedly took them out of the building.

The building was in large grounds, and there was a lot going on, but few people seemed to be bothered by the fire. Someone said that the fire brigade had been called and were on their way. I watched the roof as it burnt in a very timid fashion. Whatever the roof was made of, it clearly didn't burn very well.

In a field next to the building there was a game of cricket going on, and having lost interest in the fire I thought I'd go and see if I could join in. The people seemed quite pleased to welcome me to the game and after a bit of fielding in the out field, I was offered an over of bowling.

It was at this point that I realised the batsman was Sachin Tendulkar, former India captain and world record breaking batsman. I decided to just bowl as hard as I could and I managed to get him out with a leg stump yorker. The ball hit the very top of the stump and bounced off up in the air. Umpire Alan Davies had no hesitation in raising the finger.

After much celebration I went back to the burning building. The fire brigade still hadn't arrived and people were going in and out of the building. The roof being on fire seemed to be a fairly normal state. So I went back into the building and found my into a classroom where I sat in on a lesson of Mongolian for beginners. I can't remember any Mongolian though.

After a while I went back outside, only to see a large group of people gathered around in the car park. When I got closer, I could see there was some sort of fight going on, and it was a fight between a Wookie (the fictional hairy creatures from the Star Wars films) and a giant gibbon. And this gibbon was huge.

Even so the Wookie seemed to be winning. After a while the gibbon ran off and the crowd dispersed. Then Lemmy from Motorhead turned up selling ice creams.

Seriously Odd

A very freaky dream, from what could be a potentially volatile cocktail of cheese.

Cheese: A cocktail of Brie, Stilton and Cheddar (had as part of a cheeseboard in a restaurant)

This dream was quite strange, but I do remember a specific segment very clearly. We were hanging around in a house (not a house I've ever seen before), there was me, my dad, my sister and a couple of other people (although I can't remember who).

There had clearly been a party as there were empty cans and glasses everywhere. It must have been the next morning, as it was daylight and we were all in our pyjamas watching TV.

There was a knock on the door, we got up to see who it was and it was a family down the street who had invited us over for lunch. It turned out the dad was Ray Winstone. We said we'd get ready and come down.

A bit later we all piled into the car (I'm not sure why, when we were only going down the road). Ray Winstone was outside and pointed out that we were still in our pyjamas and called us a bunch of "fackin' muppets".

None of us had remembered to get dressed. Ray also had his two sons and daughter there. His daughter was Lucy Davis from The Office (despite the fact her dad is Jasper Carrott). Slightly embarrassed we went back inside to get dressed.

I went out the back of the house to find my wife. It seemed the garden backed on to a lake and she was in a rowing boat on the lake. Unfortunately the rowing boat had run aground, so I had to wade in to rescue her. I had to try and pull the boat off the pebbly lake bottom and was digging away the stones to do this. Eventually I managed to get the rowing boat afloat again, and was pushing it back towards some sort of jetty.

At this point I was attacked by a crocodile, which I was surprised about given that crocodiles tend not to reside in fresh water lakes in Northern Europe. I kicked it off the first time, but then it came back for another bite. The struggle was so intense I woke up with a shock again.
