I've been having some pretty horrible dreams lately but the one I had last night was nightmare standard. It was very complicated. I dreamed I had gone to Coventry with my husband. We somehow became separated at the railway station and I was wandering the streets looking for him. The streets were crowded with drunks and drug addicts. Some of the people were very threatening. There was one man whose right arm was missing and his left arm was a false arm which dangled uselessly at a crazy angle.There was a vast number of bars and clubs as well as shops. I went in several and asked for a telephone directory so that I could ring my grandparents who used to live there. Nobody would allow me to use their telephone directories. I went out and it was very dark with torrential rain. There was a river which flooded the roads and I couldnt get where I wanted to go. All through this I was searching for my husband. Eventually I was so exhausted that I lay down in a park and my husband arrived with 2 other people and a baby in a pram who I knew was my son. We went into a newsagent store and when we came out I was stopped and accused of shoplifting which I denied. I was searched and a magazine had been planted in my bagI was arrested and taken to a police station and told I was going to prison for a very long time and I would never see my husband or son again.
Written down it all looks very stupid but I was very disturbed by the dream and reluctant to go back to sleep.
