Dream log: elephants and hippies.

[happydalek]

I dreamed I was living in a rundown old house with a pair of hippies.  We were squatting on an abandoned piece of property that stretched back to a wooded, sloping mountain.  I knew that atop that mountain was a spectacular rolling plateau covered in tall grasses and semi-disused corn fields that overlooked a majestic valley.  (I knew all this because I'd been there before, in another dream, with my father and grandfather.  We'd been hunting deer, of which there were hundreds.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a one of them!)  The place might have been an old mill, since there was another building right across from the house that had the look of an old grain mill of some kind.  We knew we weren't technically supposed to be there, but it was the perfect place for our elephant to graze.  We were trying to fix some of the really retarded woodwork on the house, but elephant kept nosing around and being a nuisance, so we sent it across the street to graze on another hilly field dotted with trees that we knew to be part of the same property.  Afterwards, we retired indoors to set up the Passover Seder.  (Apparently we were Jewish hippies.)  But then a woman journalist arrived on the property.  She was investigating some story, and really wanted to talk to the hippies.  I knew if she saw me that I'd be in trouble, so I hid beneath a window while she went from window to door, knocking and trying to get in.  

The next thing I knew, I was traveling up the mountainside with the elephant following me.  I was really looking forward to being on that plateau again.  The yearning to be in a gorgeous, wide open space where I could run free beckoned strongly.  But I woke up before we got there.

A dream elephant? That's got to mean something.

I dreamed this morning that I was a real estate agent for the Doctor and the Master, who were looking to move into a house together. The Master was going under the name "Mike" and they specified that their new house had to include a barbeque. Living the Gallifreyan dream, I guess. Tigers and umbrellas were also involved somehow.

Ahahaha! I would love to see that as a sitcom!
