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
