🤣 At this point in our friendship I can honestly say I could forgive you for consciously peeing all over my sofa. That’s how much good will you’ve built up and that’s what I’m thinking in those lovely drawings of me looking so tolerant and relaxed on the ottoman (very me).

P.S. Ella has such lovely manners though. She can come to my imaginary holiday home any time

😂😂😂 thank you dude, what a nice thing to say! You do look INCREDIBLY relaxed on the ottoman - is it more offensive that I peed on your dream sofa or scarred you with another of my drawings of you 🤪

I'll tell Els she's welcome!! xx

Oh my god 😂 I love the segue into William Steig at the Swiss Embassy (but of course!). The thing about dreams is you can't make them up - there's a perfect lack of logic to them that's impossible to confect.

😂 haha thanks Joe! Did you notice one of the WS drawings is meant to be Shrek? I know, they are some intriguing nonsense sometimes!

Ah great, I can see Shrek now. My favourite Steig cartoons are some of his later ones which aren't really even jokes, they're just old couples bickering :)

We have a “no telling me your dreams” rule in our house, but since you started it, I thought I’d tell you that weeing on sofas or chairs –with other people around not seeming to mind – is a recurring dream of mine.

I have that personal rule too - it sounds like all the members of your household need my "don't tell me your dream" t-shirt Katie!!

That's SO weird - what do you think it means then? Mum and I were pondering, and I couldn't think of anything!

I always assume it goes back to my fear of wetting the bed! I was quite old when I finally stopped!

This is INSANE

YOU are INSANE. But yes, Swiss emb would be the place to be- neutral ground respite.

Hahaha Clem that's hilarious, i didn't even think of the neutrality/embassy aspect!! I wonder if that was it!?

Haha! Brilliant! The alternative to apologising should always be driving to the Swiss Embassy in London!

I once had a dream that I pooped on Lisa Brown & Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket)’s couch and hoped they didn’t notice. Narrator: they noticed!

Tor Freeman's avatar

😂😂😂 That's so specific too, isn't it!! Do you remember feeling embarrassed when they noticed?

Summer Pierre's avatar

SO embarrassed! Especially when they showed up later in the dream to inform some mutual friends just what kind of “house guest” I was! 😬

😂😂 I stand by my dream advice: it’s better to NOT pee on your friend’s sofas!! Haha! I like how strict I am with you!

SO strict!! It's good advice though, for almost any situation!!

Oh my god this made me sieze up with laughter (I'm sure everyone feels like starting their comments with "oh my god" but OH MY GOD. Lucky dream pee doesn't turn into real pee in bed. Or does it?

Tor Freeman's avatar

When I was a child it definitely used to, but I don't think this time it was even about needing the loo!

Ruby Wright's avatar

oh my god I LOVE it Tor and want now to hear all your dreams. Keep em coming. I have loads of dreams about peeing (I assume it's needing a pee in the night?), usually involving having to go to a squalid public toilet. Invariably with no seat or door, or sometimes half a door. And I often pee on, or into, bus seats in my dreams.

Tor Freeman's avatar

I definitely think it used to be about needing the loo, but I'm not sure about this one.

HAhahaha Ruby!! Bus seats! There's something about upholstery I think... it's like Rusty sees a plant and thinks pee time.

Oh wow that's quite an anxiety inducing read. I reckon you could make a horror movie of all these kinds of things. Like SAW, but with social faux pas. Would be agonising to watch. The seven deadly sins are the poster boys eh, but I definitely think what drives most human behaviour is plain old guilt, shame and embarrassment. Maybe just me! (totally gonna have a dream about over sharing my big fat opinions in the comment section haha)

Tor Freeman's avatar

Don't have a dream about oversharing, this is the CORRECT amount of sharing! And I agree - guilt, shame and embarrassment are surely engines behind many decisions and actions. That would be a brill movie, and I 100% wouldn't be able to watch it!

Ok I also get bored with people's dreams (especially people I don't know personaly) but this one made me laugh!
