Roly poly off a cockerel
So, I was at my swing dance class, the DJ didn’t turn up, I offered to play some stuff off my laptop. The decks were INCREDIBLE…all edged like the Tron lightcycles.
I plugged in and started to choose some tracks, spotify was taking ages to stream and some disabled douche started heckling me for having too much silence between songs. I ended up fighting him, I don’t even know why he was...

Notes from the night
King kong. 30s America. Hated mars bars.
Dingy hoisted up. Bashed. Chunks of meat. I’m water.
Only likes blondes.
Gay powder.
Stood in symmetry

Fish face
Chewed giant tablets which made you age rapidly, then die, but then end up in the future. Once there I had to find some thin Richmond sausages. While hunting through the freezer a man tries to rob the store.
(You’ll think I made this bit up)
I hit him across the face with a fish (salmon) and floored him.
I then spent hours trying to escape the clutches of a vampire lawyer by diving...

It's not a trick Rachael, it's an ILLUSION!
Jumped a fence into the sea at midnight, then swam underwater evading border patrol. I was with two other people we were still submerged through fear of gunfire. We started coming across other people. All trying to get past zombies. The zombies were blind so we used that to our advantage and swam past into a room eventually finding out we’d passed the first ‘level’.
Second...

Burnt Bacon
Ended up on what I thought was a boat but was actually a boat on the back of a plane in an 80s hollywood film with a young and very very sunburnt Kevin Bacon.
It was lovely. We swam. We played bat and ball. We snuggled. All the while he had a lobster red face and body and a big red bandana (which I didn’t approve of).
He was fishing off the back of our boatplane while I was sewing bits...

Death by Hippo
Baddies made me climb a rock face. Got stuck there for 250 years. Never ageing.
Then I turned into a black guy on the cliff and I (the usual me) was rescuing him from the rock face and then integrating him back into society…
(At this point i’m still two people in my dream, myself and him)
…But he was fast as lightning and had special super strength that he’d gained...

United States of Korea
In Spain and Italy (it kept changing). In a secret SWAT team knitting things with electronics inside. I think they were explosive devices that were supposed to look innocent. Mine was a large sock puppet. There was also a gorilla that made noises when you touched it.
Went up some steps. Scallies were there smoking, I ran away but got chased around a multi story car park. Had to do gymnastics on...

Goodnight Sweetheart
I was in the second world war. But in France and it was modern times aswell.
I had to take my miniature baby for inoculation and give in her paperwork. While she was on a baby conveyor belt with about a hundred other babies. I had to go get my rations.
It started with our first package. Then turned into a 25 course meal where every course you had to take your plate back and wash it. Then go...

Hulktastic
Stumbled upon a building which Germans used to hide Jewish children in the holocaust. They were still there and hadn’t aged.
I hatched an escape plan but then got distracted because the optician wouldn’t fix my glasses. I told her she was rude and incompetent. I overheard her talk about how many red bulls she’d had that day. I mumbled under my breath that they definitely...

Dr Robotnik and the wheelchair man
Found a baby in the garden. When I went to pick it up it morphed into a leech, i was utterly disgusted! It stuck to my finger so I flicked it into next doors yard.
Then I attended a concert, it was a huge choir and the audience had to join in. There was a big black woman on stage dressed as Dr Robotnik. She sang the song that Terry Venables sings in that world cup advert, (badly).
I’m...

Rach in shining armour
I was Cate Blanchett. In a funeral car driving through a forrest wearing shining armour.
A fake dead Jude Law in the back. We had a plan for people to think he was dead. But infact he was on a boat travelling the pacific.
Car was surrounded by knights on horseback chaperoning us. I managed to drive down a ditch and into a lake and fake our own deaths to get away from the baddies chasing us.

Fade to Black
Carrying a dead prisoner out of the jail. I notice his foot twitch and he jumps up, steals my friends gun and shoots him in the groin. I try and save him but it’s hopeless. I realise I’m in a movie.
I do a Hollywood crying scene over his dead body and then it fades to black.
Many years pass and I now live in a cult. I’m still very traumatised by the groin death.

Knitted Graffiti
Created a huge piece of yarn bombing (knitted graffiti) in the forest. It was a masterpiece!
I decided I liked it so much that I built a viewing gallery where people could throw snowballs at each other but where my woollen art was in view.
It got out of hand. I had too many visitors. One broke my camera and I decided I’d create a huge outdoor temporary library to calm people down.

The benefits of Tupperware
Shopping in co op with my young pet deer prancing around looking for something I couldn’t remember, ended up buying maltesers and not eating them as I’m on a diet.
Walked into the car park to find my boy behind the wheel taking it round in circles in a packed car park. Other shoppers were going crazy. I made him get out ( he doesn’t know how to drive btw ). In defiance he then...

Snuggage
It mainly involved me swimming in the mangroves with my pet geese.
And watching GMTV where a girl from corrie was showing how she smuggled her pet snake on a plane (involved bums) before she discovered a new invention called “snuggage” (snake luggage)
The rest involved different people pooing.

American Suicide Cats
I was moving from Chicago to NYC. I was looking at apartments specifically ones where tenants had died and left all their possesions (I thought it may save me money). I viewed two. In both instances a cat jumped from the window to it’s death. I was starting to get paranoid when I went to another building. A man watched me go to the loo. So I went mental on him. It jumped 6 months. I was...
Pirates of the Caribbean
forgotten the beginning. But I helped an in disguise Sandra Bullock get to a secret island to help rescue her adopted son. When I got there the island was ruled by a creature (half crow. Half man of course). We found lots of bodies of children. There were mirrors everywhere cos the creature couldn’t see round corners. All our weapons were really light. We realised humans were only affected...
Willy Wonka the groundskeeper
I was at the superbowl in France. Best seats in the house. Because I got free tickets I had to do a perfomance as Ginger rogers. With myself Fred Astaire. Was going swimmingly. Got a huge round of applause. But as lights going down I fell down the stairs. So they gave me more free tickets.
I was asking about what type of flower that had been thrown at me for my performance. I was told it was a...
Matthew Broderick's connected organs
Bit weird, Started off as an audience member at a magic show in a huge theatre. They picked me out and made me do a trick with Mangos. Everyone laughed when I messed it up. Had a fight with someone sat next to me.
Then I was in a seventies dance troupe made up of a family. I couldn’t see very well nor did I know the dance routine. Apparently we were magicians before. We started taking...
