Space and time
I’ve recently had two extremely vivid dreams. One of those dreams was only for a few seconds but it sparked a memory of a day dream I used to have.
Escape from work.
That’s what this scenario was.
It’s Wednesday, half way through the week, I’m at work and looking for adventure.
I’m working in a 2 tier building and the premises are huge. I go to the toilets and for some reason I cannot go back to the office. Something horrible will happen if I do. Either that or going back for the rest of the day is too long.
It’s about 10:00 AM and I’m in a cubicle. I’m sat on the toilet but I don’t really need to go. I’m staring at one of the tiles on the floor and I notice it’s loose. I start to kick away at the tile and after a few goes, the tile pops up. I take a further look and there is a hole which goes down about 200 feet. I remove a couple more tiles and suddenly I have a hole big enough to climb down. As you can tell, my subconscious has no realistic architectural sense at all. So I bob my head underneath and discover a ladder. I climb down it and realise I’m in a sewer.
“Uh-oh”
Apparently they are flushing the sewers, suddenly a huge tidal wave of shit races around the corner and is coming straight for me. I manage to escape when I find another ladder further down. This takes me onto a different part of the premises and it is here where I have to fight past a group of forklift trucks. I then meet the main boss and have a battle to the death.
I haven’t had any adventures for ages. Its kind of something you have to give up as you get older because nothing is off limits.
The challenge to me in my second school was how far me and my friend could push it. We would walk everywhere before we got to school.
That’s one of the parts I really enjoyed. It was our own rebellion.
There’s nothing really interesting going on in my life at the moment, I haven’t been for a night out in weeks.
So my mind keeps wandering off. Part of me accepts that nothing dramatic is going to change until after this course is finished. Going abroad would be an adventure but due to commitments I can’t get away now until at least May next year.
