20092014 happy-ending dream
first scene
was on a bus coach
second scene
a news story of a bank robbery came over the coach p.a.
third scene
the coach went off the road and into a ditch
fourth scene
four of us were in a waiting room (two girls, two boys)
fifth scene
we were told the luggage was unrecoverable but it would be
valued by remote machinery and compensation would be paid
in silver bits by an automated cash dispenser after inserting
the value tokens we would be given as soon as the valuation
was completed
sixth scene
i went last and couldn't get anything on the first or second
token but on the third token the machine paid a jackpot of
tens of thousands
i said "it's put the stolen bank money into my claim"
seventh scene
gave the girls what would be two or three thousand pounds
worth each and gave the other man about seven thousand
pounds worth of the little bits of silver
we were all very happy with the way it worked out
end of dream
~~~
the most real part of this dream was the sound of the bits of
silver as they poured out of the money dispenser
the two things that happened during the day that connect to
this dream is hearing the previously unheard sounds that
became noticeable when listening to music through a new pair
of speakers and a coach-trip brochure i browsed through for
ten or fifteen minutes earlier on in the day
all the other elements of the dream must have something to
do with emotional states, fleeting thoughts, persisting desires
or other, as yet unrecognised, dream-forming stimuli
