Bunyip it sounds like you could sell the script of your dreams to the TV networks

An R-rated version of the Science of Sleep perhaps...

I do not remember my dreams often. A recent one involved animated ferrets. In superhero outfits.

Same here. My dreams fade away in the first few minutes after waking up. Psychologists suggest that you keep a pad of paper by your bed and write them down when you first awaken. Apparently this helps the recall process and you eventually will remember them.

Pink sheep singing the blues, anyone?

Sadly no pink sheep or superhero spandexed ferrets, though plenty to do with animals. I've also dreamed about a T-rex and about lots of coloured powders used to make live budgerigars.

I'm thinking about using dream imagery to base artwork on.

I have wriiten down my dreams. Here's a alection:

1] Being chhased by a Siberian tiger that was running on its back kegs and throwing cream pies at me.

2] Riding down a flume at a logging camp, being thrown out at a curve and flying at a stone wall face and on looking down seeing pink caterpillars dancing along in a row. I don't recall hitting the face of the cliff, but there was a cave entrance that was approaching at high speed.

3] [nightmare] When my daughter was a lot younger we went to the cliffs west of Albany WA and walked along the path to the sightseeing platform at the gap. Being a brash young thing daughter ran ahead and decided to go off the path. She slipped where there was no safety fence and fortunately the bloke ahead of me turned and grabbed her arm. It's over 200 feet to the water level and the nearest place you can get down is about a kilometre distant. It is also white pointer territory.

I don't even have to shut my eyes to replay that sequence and when it comes up while asleep it takes me hours to get back to sleep. Overlay that with the visual images from a car crash in which I did a lot of damage and some nights are not a lot of fun. I find a lot of white wine helps.


I find that thinking of sex, chocolate, sex, a place in the country away from the sea and high cliffs, and more sex in the outdoors tends to diminish the nightmares.

What about chocolate out of doors? Now that's kinky!

Had another dream about being in a disorganised library. None of the books were in order and there were several really small glass animal cages with ancient mangy old lions and things on display. I also had to sit on the floor as there was supposed to be a meeting for the entire day and that most of the people were police who decided I was to be called Scott.


Not half as interesting as a dream I had of trimming my best friend
s teeth with scissors (the scissors slipped and cut my friend's teeth crookedly, at which point I remembered that teeth don't grow back).

You are a Buny. Sex is all you ever WILL dream about. Live with it!

I dreamed I was conducting a choir of singing lettuces last night.
Lettuces just can't get the alto right...

I think cabbages make better altos but it's hard to be sure without a recital.

It must be the effect of all your weird dreams on me folks, because I never usually dream this surreal stuff!

Do bunnies dream of white siberian tigers, cream buns, pink caterpillars, an such.

If so, what are they eating?

A friend once told me that she had dreamed of The Mighty Morphin' Flower Arrangers.

How can I take the show seriously, now?

Not sure about other Bunnies, but "Death has Keen Eyesight" on shirt.woot.com was something I was dreaming about for a while.

"All was quiet in the city of Mrmacgregorsgarden. The citizens went about their quiet lives, blissful and unaware of the strange experiments their government was performing out in the harbor. But it would be these experiments that would go… too far."

The blurb was very 4th Bear. Then mine arrived!

Love the idea of singing lettuces. I usually end up with the people in the wrong place variety of dream - UK family in Oz, or Aussie friends in UK places. And it always makes sense that they are where ever they are, until I wake up.

Actually had a fairly normal dream for a change:
Was dining out with my family (some of whom are dead- including my grandmother, who went outside to feed ducks/geese {not sure which})-
there was pecan pie for dessert except it was rectangular instead of round & kept getting smaller-
I got there late & finally had to eat my share of pie before dinner or it would all be gone...

No wonder I forgot to eat when I got up!

i dread of going to Hawaii, for as the song says:

'Dreams come true in blue Hawaii...'

and I don't want to see my dreams in real life.
