23 Sep 2006 Asleep in the sea, a not-so-quick breakfast and a Simpsons episode idea
![[Dream]](http://www.graxdomain.co.uk/images/site/Dream01.jpg)
I went to the beach with a guy I know from work. I think it was Hayling Island beach, except that it was all sand and not the stoney beach that it actually is. It was a hot, sunny Sunday afternoon and everyone was enjoying themselves. I decided to go out for a swim in the sea. It was fun and relaxing. So relaxing in fact I guess I fell asleep.
The next thing I know I awake and I'm floating around face down in the sea. It's nightime, it's quiet and it's pitch black. The water is calm all around me and despite being wet I was not cold. I did not need to breathe. I'm a little anxious because I don't know if I had floated out into the middle of the ocean, I don't know how far I am from the shore, and I had to get home so that I can go to work tomorrow. After all it was Sunday night. So I starts to lightly paddle in a random direction in the attempt to get back inland.
Fortunately it only took a couple of minutes to get back to shore. Turns out I wasn't very far away. By now the moon had come out and the moonlight illuminated everything. The beach was deserted. By now it must be 03:00am or 05:00am, not much time for me to get back home to go to work. So I got to my car, but I forgot my clothes. So I ran back to my spot, picked up my clothes, got back in my car, and then drove off to get home, which in this dream happens to be my old home town of Fareham. It was still around 03:00am or 05:00am
The drive was relatively quick, it only took me 5-10 minutes to drive along some fictitious roads and no motorways (even though in real life the drive would be around 40 minutes, and that's if you take the quick route on the motorway). By the I got home it was about 08:00am and the sun had come up. No matter, I'll just make some quick breakfast and be on my way.
I get into the kitchen (which is the kitchen in my current home now, not my old home town kitchen) and my girlfriend M is sitting at the table. She wondered where I was and I explained to her what had happened at the beach. She scoffed at the idea saying that it was impossible for me to sleep in the sea like that. Regardless I went to grill some burgers instead of eating something healthier because I thought it would be much quick to cook. However this was not the case.
The burgers where taking ages to grill and I started to get annoyed of all the time wasting. The burgers were oozing grease that completely filled the tray and it was start to overflow and run everywhere. Feeling annoyed I decided to forfeit breakfast and tried to run upstairs for a shower. But I just didn't have time. I looked at my watch and time was literally whizzing by.
And that's all I can remember about my dream.
... No wait, there's more.
During the mornings shenanigans there was an episode of the Simpsons and I remember watching. It wasn't really a funny episode (but then again The Simpsons stopped being funny around season 10) but it was an odd episode. It was somewhat surreal and sinister. The basic plot line was that Homer was slowly going insane, scary insane, and the rest of the family were getting worried. It included:
- Homer getting a huge nail gun and stapling chickens to the walls of their house. The chicken blood was running all down the walls and the family was looking concerned.
- Homer admitted that he was going insane and he was scared.
- Marge was talking to a deep-voiced woman on the phone concerning Homer. The woman told Marge to meet up with her on a bus. The woman ended up being a huge baseball with legs and a face.
- Homer confides to David Schwimmer (playing as himself) about his insanity. David comforting him and reassuring him that he is ok.
