Did you fail it?

Ralph its wrong to laugh...

I wasn't laughing at her, I was laughing with her!

not sure..... I expect so... I wrote a load of random waffle about Chenoble then started snoozin

I had a dream that I was failing an exam...

tell me about your dreams...

uh. I had one last night that England and America were at war with each other. Then they bombed us with nuclear weapons, but it wasn't as scary as it should have been. Then I flew really fast as the one (matrix - AGAIN)

you are a big matrix fan....

Not THAT big. I don't even have a poster. My subconcious just seems to have adopted it.
Usually I find in matrix dreams my mind represented. One was a city of paint tins, one was and underground warren of funky lights and doors and pods that kept going down. I found a cool power at the bottom.

ah... interesting...

in these dreems do you feel as if you can do everything...
as if you are unstopable?

no. I feel awed that I can do the few things I can do.

I had a lovely dream where I could do magic as well. I could make snow come from my hand, and fire from my index finger. I could also create portals. I was the great granddaughter of the once-guardian of the enchantress Urbeth, the guardian took the form of a powerful polar bear (I've had a few dreams with polar bears in. In a brief scene in this dream I was able to talk to a polar bear and I curled up with it in this glowing green (green like plants) place, which for some reason felt like it was in the middle of a shop). Anyway I had a mental image of this polar bear (great granny) standing on top of this ornate castle with lightening, looking very dramatic. But now she's an old lady.

Then I met my mentor. He was looking for these books and a way to open this safe after someone powerful (and callous) who'd owned the place had died. I managed to open it, and there were all the precious books, and a weird portal.
I went through it then for a very brief time I was in this Alice and Wonderland style landscape again. Bright but scarey and strange. And there was a burning house. It was a nursery and my little cousins were in it. So I ran to help and I took the children and dropped them out of the (ground floor) window, gently at first, then as I got more worried about them I was a little rougher. Then annoyance on top of annoyance I turned around and my uncle (my cousins father) was taking them back into the house. He thought that we were playing their favourite game out the window in the window. I felt really annoyed! Then I went upstairs where the fire was. It was like a loft, and I left with my mentor through a portal. I think the children were Ok, I'm not sure.
Then I went to this school and thought wow, and my mentor left me to talk with this guy about me joining it, and this little er who, unsurprisingly looked like Draco Malfoy started having a go at me and saying we don't want you here. I got ready to use my magic, but he blocked it, then I was going to say a spell but he made me dumb, then I decided to thump him but he had a rather attractive ornate silver pistol which he pointed at my head....
So I backed off into a corner and he had two things - one green and one yellow which reminded me of the little markers in P.E. with the hole in top (have you seen them?). Then he said "Come on lets see a gree and yellow sky", which sounded witty in the dream, and everyone sniggered but I kind of went Hmm and turned my head away (the best I could do not being able to talk) despite the fact that he had a gun to my head. Then my nice old white haired mentor bailed me out.
Then I was at the place my mentor and the guy in charge of whether I could join or not were. The guy looked like Lucius Malfoy. He wasn't too keen on me joining because I was the descendent of Urbeth's guardian and he didn't think I had magic. I demonstrated my magic, I showed him my snow trick, which was my most basic trick (the easiest one for me) and then I was going to show him the fire one but it was a portal instead and it upset his wine glass. Then it ended.

I have very detailed dreams.

I got told of by a teacher for quoting Shakespeare in an exam.

Why? Was it a Maths exam?

no, an english exam, you had to translate Dutch into English. This is VERY tricky, and I didn't fell like thinking about it, so I gave him a Shakespeare quote.

Fair enough

Which one in particular?

Though this be madness, yet there is method in it.

Very suitable.

He didn't like it.

that's a pity.

How are you Ralph?

School's just started, I'm ploughing through 2 month old backlog, how do you think I am? Bl**dy DEPRESSED!!!!

at least I get you back mwah ha ha!

Also, look on the bright side. I've got two weeks of holiday left
