Dreams

I had two rather odd dreams over the weekend. You may well conclude that I have a strange brain and additionally watch too much television. Please could you give me your comments / interpretation.

Dream 1

Myself and a group of my friends (including James, my brother Matthew and curiously Cordelia from Buffy The Vampire Slayer / Angel) were dead. I didn?t see us die in the dream, we were dead when it began, and how we had died was not important. We were in another reality ? the afterlife.
The afterlife was a large fun fair / theme park with roller-coasters, arcade machines, attractions, slides and ball pits. Everyone was having lots of fun. The Pepsi-Max Big One roller coaster (normally located at Blackpool Pleasure Beach) was available to ride on, so I put in my contact lenses (they make you take off your glasses to ride it) and Matthew and I had a go on it.
Later, we were walking around the park eating candyfloss and having fun when we came to a building which didn?t seem in keeping with the rest of the place. In dreams you sometimes just know stuff, and we all realised that this corner of the afterlife was hell. Inside the building was an awful awful hell.
There was some sort of manhole near the edge of the wall of the building and as we were walking past, Cordelia got sucked into the manhole that went into the hell building. We grabbed onto her hands and tried to pull her out but she got sucked in and the manhole closed up again. We abandoned our candy floss and got to work trying to lift the manhole by ourselves. We could hear Cordelia shouting and struggling below. Finally we got the manhole cover off and we started to pull her out but she said ?no, there are other people trapped in here?we help the helpless?we must go back and save them?. We all decided we had to go into the hell to save them and followed Cordelia inside through the manhole.
We entered the hell through the basement area. In the basement, there was a stage and an audience of people watching what was going on. On the stage was a game of Blind Date. As we watched, we soon realised that it was the same game of Blind Date over and over again that the people were being forced to play. The same people were in the game every time, so it wasn?t blind at all. Despite the protests from the 3 people on the other side of screen, Cilla forced them to play. The guy doing the picking was a really fat man off Channel 4?s Fit Club. The people in the audience were also being forced to watch this endless repeating game of Blind Date but they couldn?t get away. We crept towards the stairs to go up to the ground floor.
When we got to the ground floor, it soon became apparent that hell was actually a Jehovah?s Witness Kingdom Hall (apologies to anyone who is a Jehovah?s Witness reading?this is truly how the dream went) however the people there didn?t realise that what they were doing was wrong, and forcing people to play Blind Date was constituting hell. The place on this floor looked very Church-Hallish and they were reading from Bibles and Hymn Books or putting up church like banners saying things about how people should be anointed etc. At this moment our presence was obvious so we quickly decided amongst ourselves that in order to save the poor people forced to play Blind Date, we would have to infiltrate from the inside by pretending to be interested in Jehovah?s Witnessism. Their leader, John Cleese (you may know him from such things as Monty Python and Fawlty Towers), approached us. He wanted greatly to convert our young impressionable minds to the ways of Jehovah?s Witnessism so that we could get more people into the Blind Date parlour. He took us up another floor to the anointing room. This was a smallish swimming pool which had water tunnels that you could swim through to get to other rooms?including one that allowed you to go down to the Blind Date parlour. At first I was apprehensive about swimming along a fully submerged water tunnel in case I needed air, but I soon realised that I was dead and didn?t need to breathe. I got in and swam around whilst the others helped in the church hall to put up banners and talk about Jehovah?s Witnessism. During this time, I forged a plan.
Earlier on, before I went to the anointing pool, John Cleese was telling me about the beliefs of the Jehovah?s Witnesses and how happy he was that I believed them all. He was talking about how God allowed me to go swimming on a Tuesday but not on a Wednesday. Using Leela from Futurama?s example from the episode with the robot Santa Claus, I decided to flummox John Cleese with this illogical paradox. I got Cordelia and the gang to back me up and we confronted John Cleese in the church hall part of the Kingdom Hall. I said ?John Cleese, I have some questions about the beliefs you have outlined. Why does god say I can swim on a Tuesday but not on a Wednesday. Why would god say that? What makes swimming good on Tuesdays but bad on Wednesdays?? John Cleese couldn?t answer. He said ?just because you can?t!!? and I screamed ?BUT WHY? WHY WHY WHHHHHHY?? repeatedly, getting the gang to join in shouting WHY. We shouted about the swimming conundrum until John Cleese could take no more. We had broken his strength! The walls of the Kingdom Hall crumbled away and the people were released from their Blind Date hell.
Then I woke up.

I will write about the other dream later. Now I have to watch a programme about Take That.
