Where in God's name do dreams come from?




Where in God's name do dreams come from?

Last night I had the strangest dream. I saw Mrs Thatcher. She was appearing above a crowd of striking miners. Just like an apparition. She said: "For every one of you it will be dole not coal."

Then the scene switched to the old County Hall in London. Ken Livingstone was standing outside holding a huge placard which read:

ONLY CATHOLICS SHALL EVER ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

  1. "Last night I had the strangest dream."

    No you didn't, Gene - this is yet another of your laboured, boring and ineffectual attempts to make yourself interesting. It won't work, because dreams are never as coherent as this - a right wing bigot telling the truth, or a left wing pillock crusading for bigoted christianity. Dull, dull, dull.

    On the other hand I had a dream last night, when a jiffy bag arrived in the post and, when I opened it, out came a leather bound book two inches thick, with a gold blocked title on the spine - "GRANNY BARKES FELL IN WOOLWORTHS" with the author's name Robert Willoughby below.

    I opened the book in disbelief to see, on the title page, an ornate, bloated inscription - "signed by the author on the day of publication, copy number 9,999, Robert Willoughby" - but my incredulity was soon revived.

    The other three hundred and forty pages were blank.

    When IS "Granny Barkes Fell In Woolworths" coming out, Gene?

    The book contained three hundred and twenty pages
