Book Hunting

 

An amazing version of London, huge old buildings.   I was with Em on a mission like a treasure hunt.   One item we needed was a very old book.
We didn't even know if one still existed but had a lead about a book store in Oxford.
I had blue skin in the dream too, I'd recalled I'd dressed up drunk as smurfett for a new year party and had struggled to get the blue bk off :P

I'd gone into a strange casino looking for a part too, it was all black doors and walls and the rooms, doors walls changed making it confusing to get out.
Rainbow Macaw parrots... The people in this place were a little odd and zombi like but one showed me how to get out again and Em picked me up in a taxi outside.

We drive past some amazing stuff, a huge gold fountain/statue thing.

Oxford was crazy too, massive old Oak trees and old buildings set round sandstone cliffs covered in sheep, goats and big dogs.
The place we were to go was an old second hand book store.
It was a huge room with old fiction books pilled out of reach on symmetrical and impractical shelves,  the celling had old books stuck to it in patterns way to high to read. 

 

The shop was owned by a scruffy family with more rainbow parrots only these ones were pastel colours.  
We found the book... And I entered a false awakening dream, were I wrote the dream so far, then go back into it were we are holding the book. 

It's large A4 and all the others are looking shocked.... Their heads have changed and morphed,   I tell them it's a dream... But I need to see the book.  
It was visually amazing, like the old illuminated manuscripts.

Next dream I'm dreaming in a white square space with platforms and shelves. 
My dream diary keeps ending up out of reach in places I didn't leave it.

Ian was with me and I'd told him I was moving it in dreams.

He managed to reach it down for me and when I look at it the pages are covered in art I didn't draw.

One is drawn like a picture of Grey Ren looking out from a rip in the page, brown/grey skin with large white eyes.    The images are mainly cartoon / graffiti style.
