I am walking out of town into a perfect summers day. A quiet lane leading between fields, lined by trees. I come to a village - there are people walking about who all seem happy. The sun is warm and pleasant. Nothing is new here - it seems like the perfect English village, very old fashioned. I realise I am to meet Kelly here - but how to contact her? How to get back to town?

The Perfect Village (night of 13/02/2024)
A Party from the Alleyway (night of 10/02/2024 or 11/02/2024)
I am walking up the alleyway that led to Leighton's old hosue in Ickenham. I think I am with someone else. A group of people next to the entrances that will lead to Roker Park Avenue / Gell Close. A group of people gathered there. I can see that Dave Toolan is one of the people. I am at a party at someone's house. I can see Dave across the room. A woman called Lesley is sat at a seat next to a table.
A Doctor in the Troubles (night of 9/02/2024 or 10/02/2024)
The troubles in Northern Ireland. The historical setting is unsure, as is the narrative viewpoint of the dream. I am unsure if I am the main character, or I am viewing him from some third person narrator position. I am a Doctor in Ireland, possible Catholic? I am saying that I will treat everyone, no matter their religous affiliation. I will treat everyone equally. A possible conenction to 'pagan priests' - that I will treat them as well?
An image of a house at night on fire. Someone throws a bomb in. Explosions and flame. Possibily connected with the acceptance of my own death if I treat those injured?

The Busy Book Fair (night of 05/02/2024)
I am walking along a street. There is a gang of street drinkers. One of them yells at a woman something like 'rip it!'. He appears to be a dwarf, and is so unthreatening that people start to make fun of him.
I look up and see that I am outside of a bookshop. I am excited by this and enter. Is it a bookshop or some kind of book fair? I eagerly scan the shelves of one stand, just outside of the main hall. The stand gets crowded with people and I am annoyed that I cannot see the books for sale. The narrow passageway is jammed with people.
I enter into the main door through some kind of turnstiles. The actor Sylvester McCoy is there. he tells me that the actress Sophie Aldred is ill and next year she will become 'a ghost' - meaning she will die. he encourages me to reassure her. I try to do so, and I tell her that my friend 'Carlos' is also dying - no idea who Carlos is... She looks a bit puzzled at me.
