And Now Here is The News

Today it is two months since I smoked an entire cigarette.

Today an ANZAC Day service was held in France for the first time ever, at Villers Bretenneux - where my Great Grandfather John David Plummer died in WWI

Dreams

I've had some dreams recently that I wish to record ...

Most of the dreams I'm remembering are dreamt between the time when I first wake (often around 5 or 6 am) and the time I get up.

Responsibilty
I change jobs in the middle of the day, and am settling in at my new desk.

My mother appears at the side of my desk with my dog (deceased in real life) on a leash and some weird wax construction around his mouth with a hole at the end so he can still eat, breath, pant etc. She admonishes me for having forgotten to pick him up from doggy day care. Much discussion about the was thing around his mouth.

I think this dream was about responsibility.

Rats
I thought (in the dream) there was a rat in my kitchen. I anxiously/dreadingly kneeled down and looked under the fridge expecting to see a pair of eyes looking back at me, however there are two dead rats under the fridge. Both have been dead for some time as there is a dark patch on their bellies and a pool of (what I assume is) body fluids under and around each rat. There is also a mouse caught in a trap. I dispose of the dead mouse body.

Not sure what this is about. Rats to me indicate something gnawing away, something unpleasant. Dream dictionary indicates perhaps jealousy (amongst other things). So perhaps the fact these rats are dead means these things are over for me now.

Dream dictionary indicates catching a mouse in a trap signifies something good in regards to finances.
(It was just a day or so before this dream that I contacted my lawyers asking for the rest of my money in their trust account be sent back to me)

Kiwi Guy
This morning I dreamt about Kiwi Guy, for the first time. (Sigh, and I thought I had been making progress in that regard- having recently banished him) Started off there was a neighbourhood BBQ like they've been advertising on the radio/TV - lots of cops around cooking the BBQs but it was in the street of hmm Northbridge I think. I asked someone if they knew where there was a second hand bookshop.

Somehow I loose my wallet/handbag. Whilst there are many cops around I don't approach any of them about it.

Next I'm at a childs' birthday party where there are a lot of (ie mostly) adults in attendance . Kiwi Guy is there & I tell him about my purse being stolen. He grabs the phone from a teenager and makes them get off the phone so I can report my stolen wallet. Next thing I remember I'm having sex with Kiwi Guy and thinking of asking him to move in with me. Somehow we are outside (think the sex started off in the back of a ute), not quite on the lawn of the house where the childs party is being held. The adults start to come out of the house (they're leaving) we are partly covered by a sheet. Someone comments on the (generous) size of Kiwi Guys appendage.

Wore the batteries out a fair bit when I woke up from that one; one was not enough.
