Maybe My Dreams Are Warnings?

-

I've been having some more dreams lately. And remember that post about prophetic dreams? Well, since they're not always accurate, maybe they're meant to be seen more as warnings.

Last night I had a bit of a scary dream. I was at my Mum's house, and for some reason I had to go to school, and the bus stop was right in front of the house for some reason, and my brother was waiting for the bus as well. But I had another brother or stepbrother (not at all like my real life stepbrother) who wanted me to finish some task or something before I left.

Now, the bus came early, so I missed it. I got upset that my brother hadn't shouted at me that the bus was there or tried to get the driver to wait for me. I knew there was meant to be another bus soon, but after a few minutes of waiting, I realised that I was at the wrong stop to get this other bus from, so I hurried to the other bus stop, but there was still ages to wait for that other bus. At that point I gave up and asked my Mum if she could kindly take some time out from what she was doing (probably sewing or something) to take me to school. But then, like a TV show, it cut to me already at school.

Anyway, this morning I left to go and get a bus that's managed to get me into the city centre early enough for me to not have to rush too hard to the bus station to get the other bus I need. Except that the bus I was waiting for didn't show up. It disappeared off the timetable both at the bus stop and on the app. How?! Why?! It had shown up on the live tracking map thing in the app just a few minutes ago, but now it was gone!!!

Well, after that dream, I wasn't going to just stand and wait around to see if it would ever come before the next bus, which would have left me in more of a rush. So I walked to the other bus stop to get a different bus, which did come on time. I sent a message to the bus network's Twitter account like I normally do when a bus doesn't show up when it's supposed to, but the only response I got was "There was an issue". What kind of issue?! An accident?! A breakdown?! The mirror falling off like what my Dad said happened to a bus he got yesterday?!

Whatever. My dream was clarly trying to warn me that I would have bad luck with buses this morning, and that I shouldn't wait around to see if the one I was waiting for would show up.

Uncertainty

-
People are panicking right now over these supposed reports about the producers at Strictly Come Dancing actually being ruthless for the first time in years and dropping certain professional dancers. I wasn't too worried about my fave at first, but now it seems uncertain as to whether he will survive the cull or not. On the one hand, the pro lineup had gotten too big because many of them didn't want to leave on their own accord, and it's good if they're trying to reduce the number of pros on the bench (which would probably go back to 0 is not for having to take same sex partnerships into account). But on the other, quite a few of the ones who have supposedly been axed or given a lesser role are those who people thought haven't had much of a chance to shine, and because of that they haven't connected well with viewers, which is more likely to get them dropped. Anyway, I hope this all gets cleared up soon, and it turns out my fave is safe. I started watching the la...

Nothing Interesting On

Something my Dad is bothered about is how there aren't many interesting TV shows on most evenings at the moment, or new episodes of shows released on streaming services. Monday has the Quiz shows, but one of the three they usually have on has finished, while the other two are close to finishing, and then we'll have to go a few months without those before they start up again. And then there's not much on the other days either. I've not got many shows to be invested in at the moment, and I have other ways I can entertain myself, so it never really bothered me when there was nothing interesting on. I don't know what my Dad could do to be less bored in the evenings.

A Small Wet Adventure

Not that kind of wet!!! Can't I use certain words without them being interpreted in an inappropriate way?  Anyway, today I went out to a park because I wanted to go somewhere with some uphill areas that wasn't the local woods, and it was raining a lot. I thought I'd be fine because my coat has a hood, but it clearly wasn't enough and the coat that was supposed to be waterproof got soaked. So I wanted to go along a different path, one of those shortcut paths, so that I'd be slightly more sheltered from the rain. I say slightly because at this time of year the trees have no leaves on them so they don't shelter you as much from the rain as they do in summer. So I spent ages walking around the trees while trying not to slip, and ended up finding myself at some dead ends. I didn't want to go all the way back the way I came, though, so I kept looking for other paths that could help me get back onto the main path, while I wasn't getting any dryer. At least I go...
