The best remedy to deal with such heady dreams is to hit shit and then relax a bit.

Tony - it's amazing last night, being very hot & humid..i couldn't
sleep, and everytime this line from a Beatle song" I am the Walrus" played over & over in my head - " See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they run..". So I fully appreciate what yr saying.

stuck in my head..
..and no matter what you do, you can't get rid of it...sometimes I turn on the radio but with my luck that very song gets played..
..or plays me..

Technical name for a song that keeps playing in your head -- earworm.
My son had "It's a Small World After All" ringing in his mind for weeks, and he detests Disney, so it was difficult. BTW, I couldn't figure out the word you left on my blog that begins with B***S***** and now that's got me wondering. :)

I still hope for quieter neighbours for you this year - maybe they'll move.

Hi mneme
Yeah, maybe - I'd had a very busy day before, and maybe the excitement of that combined with being in this flat surrounded by noisy neighbours makes it difficult for me to drop off again when I wake up.

Thanks Ariel
Yeah, it sounds odd, I know, but I really did do all those things today. I did draft a letter on behalf of El Gordo. It wasn't a nightmare or anything, I just lay there thinking of this old tune that was for some reason playing in my dream. Let's hope there's no repeat performance tonight...
