“Hand”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 6

Another dream from the Flensburg notebook. My hand is injured. They operate, but leave it with a very thin bone for a wrist so it’s bound to snap at any time. The hand itself is also thin, but it works fine. Weird. Could be a creepy short story. The notes were accompanied by a sketch,… Continue reading “Hand”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 6

“Beetle”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 5

This is a good one from the dreambook. There’s a red beetle. I think it’s a spider at first. I catch it in an old anorak’s zip pocket. Then I get home, and let it out. It limps because it was squashed in the pocket. It wants to learn human knowledge, so I must think… Continue reading “Beetle”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 5

“Prisoner”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 4

And now, more of the same! I keep being caught and put in a Prisoner-style secret society of brainwashed people. The Leader is the guy who played Durand-Durand in Barbarella (Irish guy). I’m running through the streets trying to organise an attack on the base (very fast). Well this is just silly isn’t it. What… Continue reading “Prisoner”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 4

“Band”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 3

Here we are again. I bullshit my way into a band, saying I can play bass. I get away with it until our first gig. I’m putting my clothes on, but they say I must wear a dress. When it comes to the gig. I use a ghettoblaster strung around my neck instead of a… Continue reading “Band”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 3

“Hell”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 2

Another from the notebook. I’m in hell. The Devil is Michael Hordern? He takes the piss out of my camera. The place I think is an airship gondola. One character is a tarty old woman. It’s a good banquet, but all around are glass cages with weird animals doing nasty things to other weird animals.… Continue reading “Hell”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 2

“Camper”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 1

In early 1994 I traveled to Flensburg, Germany to study at the Fachhochschule for a semester. I took a notebook with me in which I wrote various scribbles, including a few dreams. When clearing out my Tooting flat for sale recently, I found the notebook, and I thought I’d stick them up here over the… Continue reading “Camper”: Dreaming in Flensburg, Part 1

Back from Chicago

I’ve been in Chicago at the INCOSE Symposium, and before that I was in the UK visiting friends and family and selling my flat. I’ve got lots of ideas for work and for this blog, and much to catch up with when I return to the office on Monday. In the meantime, my AT&T contract… Continue reading Back from Chicago
