Ever had one of those crap night, when some of the time you're half awake and still dreaming, so you're believing everything in yer dream.

I was dreaming last night whilst half awake, I need new chainrings and crank arms for my bike, so on the computer I downloaded the "Crank Arm" installer, I ran it, and then I somehow got new cranks on my bike.

I've forgot the other one, I was half awake and I was thinking so hard, I think I was in a pro cycling team and trying to work out something.

Anyway, I woke up fully and thought WTF was I thinking none of it is real.

And it kept happening, I got one crap nights sleep cause of it.

    Once, when I was still at school, I had a very lucid dream about a girl I fancied. In the dream, we were a couple.

    It was so lucid it took me about half a day to work out it didn't actually happen.

    The penny dropped when she asked me why I was behaving 'strangely'.

    Oh dear.

    I have really lucid dreams, but as soon as I wake up they evaporate, so I loose the whole thread of what they were about. Dammed annoying that!

    I used to dream about call of duty after long gaming sessions but fat ladies and power swords sounds crazy. :wink:

    I used to have dreams with my eyes open when I was a kid, you'd think someone was in the room with you but you can't move your body or talk - just your eyes. This is really freaky. Actually... this happened when I used to live near Alnwick! :o

    Very freaky. I've spent a morning wondering if I was awake or not. :?

    When I was a kid, my bike was stolen by some scrotes. A couple of weeks later I had a lucie that I'd got a new bike for my birthday. It was so real that when I woke up I belted down the stairs, bolted my breakfast and haired out to the shed to go out for a ride. I can still remember the feeling of confused disappointment that there was no bike there. :cry:

  • My wife has had quite a few dreams where something bad happens, (read I have done something bad), and the dream seems so real she is pissed off with me the whole day because of something she dreamt.

    Normally takes a day or 2 for her to come around when that happens, since she never believes me when I say it never happened, and ti was just a dream.

    Well I dreamt about cakes last night. A rather excellent dream IMO, the only problem being the choice on offer was so big it took me all the dream to come to a decision on which one to try :P

    I don't know what I dreamt, but I woke my girlfriend up to tell her about a potato. And then farted loudly.

    Apparently.

    Known as the Dirty Bottles, legend has it that if you touch them you die soon after.

    1. I'm presuming people who work night shifts - a friend used to work on the docks and enjoyed his post shift 5 am pint, when I was away working a few years ago and we finished night things full Chinese take away at 6 am was a regular.

    2. I'm presuming he meant £1.20, otherwise its a freakingly expensive pint.

    Cursed bottles sound well weird: anyone know the story?
  • I thought something along the lines of 31.20 a pint because it's 6am, the pub was closed and dude had to wake up to pour it.

    £3.20 a pint surely. If its £1.20 then I'm moving there.

    Nah - dockyard/naval/foundry etc towns - anywhere where blokes graft their backsides off on night shfts have always had, essentially, 20 hour opening hours for pubs.

    Its just a) not very well known and b) if you don't fall into the above criteria you won't want to be in there.
