Tripod

Hallucination Date - 13th February 2019



It was early one morning, and I was at the top of the bumpy track by Collie Hill Car Park (I realise only a few people will know where this is - you know who you are). Basically, it's a large off-road dip, which often has a large muddy puddle at the bottom. This is fun to drive through too fast in an old car such as a Green Escort MK1 or Red Ford Cortina MK2. Standing at the top of the track was a tripod from the 80s TV series, which I used to watch as a kid - tells you something about the sort of kid I was.

There was a long black rope ladder hanging from the cockpit. My friend and I climbed up and went inside through the open hatch, pulling the ladder up behind us and closing the hatch.

There were no aliens or humans present; it was empty.

Inside was a dashboard with a few buttons and a handprint embedded in the surface. Presumably it was some kind of handprint recognition system, but it was obviously for aliens as it only had three fat fingers like the one in Total Recall or many other sci-fi movies and TV shows. I tried to put my hand on it to make it work, but no response. There was a red circular button that was for the laser, we pressed it a few times and fired a green laser pulse that blew things up. This was obviously quite satisfying, but a bit unwise as it probably drew attention to us. There was also a small black joystick. I tried using it and realised it made the tripod walk in whichever direction you wished. I walked it down to the bottom of the dip where the muddy puddle should be, but it had dried up.

After a short while, the police started to arrive. There was an unmarked car with two plain clothes officers inside. They got out and used a red megaphone to shout up to us, however they could not see in. They probably envisioned aliens piloting the tripod, not two humans.

I then turned the tripod into a field to our right, knocking over a wire fence - the kind with wooden stakes and 3 metal wires strung across them. We got about half way into the field and the tripod stopped, everything froze and I woke up. It was 5am.

Meds were due at 5:30, so I closed my eyes to go back into the dream so I would remember it for someone to write down. However, when I had my meds the nurses were too busy to write it down at that time. I closed my eyes again and returned to the dream a second time, so it would be ingrained in my memory to write down later.

One of the weird things about this is that I hadn’t remembered that TV series at all until the dream.

The Quantum Sausage

Hallucination date - 10th April 2017 It was about 3 in the morning and I’m not sure if I was awake or asleep, but I was in bed talking to the HCA (Healthcare Assistant), as I often did. In fact, I used to talk to him for hours about silly things. This time, I saw a silver sausage-shaped thing floating above my bed. I was scared of it because I thought it was a quantum sausage, and if it touched me I would be sucked into a parallel universe. I was saying to the HCA, “Wheel my bed out of my room please because there’s a quantum sausage in here, and I don’t want it to touch me. Please, please, wheel me out of here!” I knew the bed could be moved in an emergency, which I considered this to be. I could see out of the windows that it was sunny outside and there were gardens with green fields and trees. This is where I wanted to go because I would be safe there - in the confined space of my room the quantum sausage would float into me more easily, whereas outside there was more ...
  My girlfriend and I were working in a bank in switzerland, it should be a very secure place where money could be kept safely but as you will see it is not very secure, luckily we get away with it unscathed. Read on to find out more…  I was working in a bank called ‘The first bank of Switzerland’. We would drive our car down a small driveway, park the car and get out. We would take the key from under a plant pot where we kept it for safekeeping, we would get the key and open the back door. I was a girl and I was with my girlfriend, we went into the bank and we started counting the money we made the day before. All of a sudden, two armed bank robbers came in and said ‘Give me all the money you have there” We pressed a special button under the counter and bulletproof shutters came down very quickly and the police were called automatically. Armed police cars came, you could not tell they were police cars because they were unmarked and the police were wearing normal clothes. They...

Life as a blue octopus

  This is a dream about me being an octopus, my life, and what it is like to be a creature underwater. This is a nice dream.  Please put your comments on the blog. If you don’t, I would like your permission to move them.  Octopus-  I was born a blue octopus, which is very rare. My Mum gave me the name of the blue gladiator,  ‘Spartacus’ which meant I was very strong and powerful. I was abandoned and left to go my own way. I did not like this and promised myself I would never do this to my offspring when I was old enough to meet a mate. I met ‘Trixanella’ and she was also a blue octopus. I loved the way she caught her prey and I fell in love with her straight away. I went and talked to her using the octopus sign language. It was obvious she felt the same way, so we got married and made love quite quickly and she fell pregnant.  She had six little blue children. She promised to look after them and fend off any predators. We both felt the same way about the si...
