Mental sidings

Despite what I wrote the other day, I did have a fairly vivid dream this morn­ing — mainly because I was awake at 4am and knew that I wouldn’t have time for another full sleep cycle before the alarm went off.

I dreamt of a new form of esca­la­tor on the tube — essen­tially a rub­berised, mechan­i­cal lad­der that dropped you more or less ver­ti­cally on to the plat­form, except for the end which you had to grab hold off and pull your­self out.  I then went on to have an escapade on Net­work Rail prop­erty, break­ing in to a facil­ity and play­ing with machin­ery.  Until I pressed the big red alarm but­ton and had to leave — wor­ry­ing about fin­ger­prints and CCTV.  The machin­ery involved appeared to be a side­ways ver­sion of the lad­der — a series of machines that would pass some­thing down a corridor.

A metaphor for some­thing. There was another bit with the furry-lion-monster-thing with the tufty ears, but I can’t remem­ber what he was doing.

Bor­ing.
