Berwick upon Tweed

I was on my way to do a stand up gig and ended up in Berwick upon Tweed.

I was heading north on a train, it was pretty dark outside and suddenly it was my stop.

I got off the train stop / bus stop and looked around. As I said it was very dark and quite creepy. Through the darkness I could see in front of me the top of an old church or cathedral. It was a kind of gothic dome. Looking around more I noticed a lot of the architecture was like this, and for some bizaar reason I concluded that this was Berwick upon Tweed.

I started to panic a little as I didn't know the time, I didn't want to spend the night here in the dark wandering the streets as I had done in Edinburgh previously this year. I needed to find where the venue was and also find accommodation.

Strangely enough as I was walking, I ended up in some sort of industrial area, and it turned from dark to light suddenly, from 10.00 to 5.pm. I was amongst a lot of foreign workers, they seemed to be Chinese, and they spoke very little English.
We were next to an embankment made from car tyres on one side and small cliffs to the other. The tyres actually covered the whole of a factory where these people worked shifts. They didn't look happy with me.

I tried telling one couple that I was a comedian and I needed a place to stay before it got dark. I asked how far the main town was and they told me it was 8 miles. I begged for a lift and gave them my wallet with my I.D. in so they could see that I was real or at least trustworthy.
After some deliberation the woman (of the couple) agreed.

Was it a motorbike or car? I am n sure but the three of us got in some kind of vehicle that went very fast and they sped as fast as they could around the CLIFF EDGES, edged that were crumbling or close to crumbling, as soon as a wheel touched earth, it crumbled away, but the couple seemed to accept this as the norm.

There were other moments when we all had to jump a little into puddles or into shallow water together or singularly.

and that........is all I can remember

scary

All I can really recall from last nights dream was my mam.

I was in a living room somewhere, it certainly wasn't my mams house. I decided to go into the kitchen and when I walked in i saw my mother lying on the floor.

The room was dark and I didn't bother to put a light on, I was in shock I guess. it was very grey in colour. My mam was lying on her back and appeared to be dead. I gave her mouth to mouth resuscitation and tried to wake her up. After a short time she opened her eyes.

She told me she was alright and she appeared to be fine. It was something to do with oxygen. I had given her a blast of good air.

After that I called her a few time to make sure she was using her oxygen every night to which she replied 'Yes, I am'
It was horrible.

I cannot remember anything else after that. That was so shocking to me that It was the only thing I recalled.

A bus journey

The memory of this dream has disintegrated over the last few days but I remember certain bits.

I was on a bus journey somewhere, and Newcastle was definitely one of the stops if not the destination. I remember passing some craters in the earth to my right hand side and a tour guide or someone mentioned that this was the crash site of the meteor that caused the ice age and killed the dinosaurs, strange that it would be in the north east that was all. There was also a volcano that was quite volatile right next to the crater.

Then suddenly the bus went right up a large hill, higher and higher and when we wet down the other side it was like a roller-coaster. The whole bus was vertical, barely keeping friction with the road and threatening to tip forward and roll. I was screaming but the rest of the passengers seemed to take it in their stride, it was almost as if this was the morning bus to work that people take everyday, for most of their lives, so the vertical drop is just same old same old vertical drop...so what.

and that is all I remember
