Mitch Horowitz is Jimmy Crystal (night of 01/04/2026)

 An older man who lives in a boat on Diglis Basin. His boat has come free from its mooring and is floating free. He is trapped on the boat. Someone has lent him there's - or has come to rescue him on it. Something to do with a crow or raven. The rescue boat is a garden shed that putters about in the water. The older man's  boat is a blur Mini car that sits half submerged in the water.

Connected - author Mitch Horowitz is revealed to also be Jimmy Crystal - a character from the 28 Years Later film The Bone Temple. Jimmy Crystal is setting up some kind of church. This has all been an experiment by Mitch Horowitz on an audience. It shows something important. I cannot believe that Jimmy Crystal has been Mitch Horowitz all along!  I really thought it was him!

Some kind of lecture setting. I will admit to Mitch that I did not realize he was Jimmy Crystal, and was completely taken in by this.

The Confusing Summer of 1996 (night of 01/04/2026)

 Thinking of an old summer - the summer of 1996 - when did that summer start to get enjoyable?Was it when me and Mina had started talking by phone? One day she had called me and the summer improved after that.  The dream-summer of 1996 is not quite the same as the waking-life summer of 1996. 

Thinking of walking back from Evesham to Bretforton. Images of sunlight, of walking through a village. A memory of walking back with Emily in the dream-summer. Hold on - that must have been another time, I did not know Emily then. Time-lines merge and get confused. 

The path into that mystical dream-place I think of as The Thin Trees. Did I go there before the summer went well?. An image of a path sloping away from the main road. Thinking 'I haven't walked here since then'.

A puzzling incident involving pods for my vape. I have a box of pods - where did this come from? I have lots of different flavours! Putting the pods back into a cardboard box they came in.

A room with two Victorian men in it. One is telling the other that he only has to think of something and it comes true. His face is covered in growths because he thought of a word like 'contusions' - this is why the other man has so many vape pods.

Jumping The Water (night of 31/03/2026)

 I am with Dan from work. It is night. Trees in the darkness. I lead him to leap across a stretch of water. I then realize that this piece of land we're o. is bordered by a small canal. The canal is a narrow strip of grey water. We cannot leap over this. We will have to go back. Are we trapped though? Will we able to jump back across the water we have already jumped over?

The Showman (night of 31/03/2025))

 I am with Alice at her flat looking out of the window. It is night. There are lots of drunk people in the street below. Some seem enraged. Lots of confrontations - perhaps police cars?

Are we having to go outside so Alice can have a cigarette? This seems rather dangerous. I think with Disney of a time when we had done this before. I was constantly worried about the drunk people.

On the street - again it is night. There is some kind of showman. He seems like a normal young man, perhaps with a top hat, but there is something, if not sinister about him, then something wily.

He is placing people in odd ways - having them float suspended in the air - one above the other. Some kind of hypnosis? The people look odd - as if the proportions of the floating people do not seem quite right in relation to each other. Nonetheless, his skills are impressive.

The Showman has a piece of machinery with him - something to do with his act. In compartments on his machine, I can see images of toy cars. 'It is all done with mirrors' I say to presumably Alice. I look again. The mirrors are now obvious to discern.

The Showman is explaining something about the machine to someone - 'yes, these are small plastic cars'. It is some kind of circular racing game that can be controlled. The cars themselves, racing around some kind of circular diss are curiously flat.

Sleeping in Gtech (night of 01/04/2026)

 Michelle is in the Gtech building. It is night. I think she is now working for Gtech. She says that she spent the night here. I think about this - how creepy it would be. Where would you sleep? I ask her where she slept. She says not in the building itself. I think she slept in her car. I would probably do the same.

Night Before A Wedding (night of 30/03/2026)

It is the night before a wedding in the north of England. I am unsure who is getting married, possibly Alistair.

It is the night before the wedding. All the guests are staying in a house - it is my grandparents house in Stone, though bears no resemblance to it.

I have been up late the night before the wedding talking with a shy girl in glasses. Slightly flirty, a romantic feeling. Do I know her from work? The girl does not appear in the dream as such - or at least, not that I remember - but her influence permeates the dream. She has agreed to come to the wedding as a kind of date. I am unsure if she will turn up but hope she does. She does not know anyone at the wedding.

I show Jacqui, Claire's cousin, the old bedroom I used to sleep in. I lead from the room we are in pointing the wall on the other side of the room. I enter the room. I tell her this is the room where the ghost appeared when I was 5. I think that Jackie will be interested in this as she is interested in the supernatural. Jackie has turned into her husband. This does not seem strange.

Hugging Jackie at some point.

I have to get ready! It is time to go to the wedding!

I start to rush - I need to find my shirt. I can't go to a wedding in a t shirt! Which shirt? I look down and see I am wearing a shirt. A blue shirt Mum got me for Christmas. I think about a purple shirt.

I rush about the house. Downstairs there are a lot of people, other guests I don't know. My body feels momentarily strange as I rush about. I need my phone charger. I try to take it from the socket. The charger seems now an integral part of the socket. The plug seems to have lots of these integral chargers attached. Do I take someone else's charger?

A sudden viewpoint of another scene - like watching a scene from a film. A man in glasses - next to a dinosaur frozen in lava? Ah, I think, 'this must be an adaptation. of Le Fanu's The Lost World'.

Mum asks me how long it is till the church. I tell her it is near - we have been for weddings there before.

Jackie says at some point she is drunk already. I say that I wish I was. Momentary concern at having to go home the next day hungover.

A present for the wedding. I am giving a pen in a box. It is cheap. I hope it is a good enough present for a wedding.

At some point I am in a shop - possibly looking for wedding presents. I am looking at shelves of books. Someone is in the way of the books I want to look at - probably old horror books.

A row of antique books. One of them is in a wooden box. I open the box. Leaves of blank paper, looking old and slightly burnt fall out over the floor. This is some kind of joke. The book is called something like 'what do girls do when -' . The answer is nothing, hence the blank pages. Other people have put things in the box. There is a handwritten note in there.

There is a general air of excitement to the dream

Global Terrorist Attack (night of 28/03/2026)

Sitting under some kind of shelter. Benches on wooden boards beneath a pagoda. It is day. On the book I have in front of me (perhaps a sketchbook) black dots appear. These appear to turn into long black worms - disgusting. It seems that these are not worms, but turn into some kind of covering over the books - black material that feels natural and pleasing. Is it some kind of terrorist attack? A rogue state? It turns out to be two men from the north of England.

Stood in a vaping area. Bea from Prisoner Cell Block H turns up. It looks like we are outside Wentworth Prison from the TV show Prisoner. I talk to Bea for a while. Helen Daniels from Neighbours (the actress was also in Prisoner Cell Block H for a while as well playing Doreen's mother). I have spoken to Helen before. I want Bea to see that I know Helen.

At the counter in a shop. I am talking to the woman behind the counter. I think we are talking about the global attack. I am worried that the man behind me in the queue will get annoyed with me for taking so long. I think there is some attraction between me and the woman behind the counter. Am I with other people - Andy? Emily?

Talking with Emily, I ask her 'where did you meet up with him - on the beach?' I think I am referring to her boyfriend. 'Yes' she replies and says she met up with him at 'Whitworth' - maybe she says Whitworth Bay? I have a feeling this is in the north of England - an image of a beach with large rocks in the sand. I am unsure if she is referring to Andy or her boyfriend. I would be jealous if she met up with Andy before me.

I am in Brighton. I am sat on the pavement with Andy to my right and Coran, his sister, to my left. Walking over the road by the clocktower I see Jamie Laverick - he was once a friend of Andy and Coran's. I have not seen him since the 1990s. I lean over to Coran and gesture towards him 'Jamie Laverick!' she says. I might point this out to Andy as well. Jamie has long ginger hair and glasses. He crosses the road - is he with other people? A girlfriend? He then doubles back to walk towards us. Is he coming over to say hello? I wake up
