More strange phenomena
When my cat scratches my bedroom door slowly, it sounds exactly like the intro to 'Not if You were the Last Junkie on Earth'.
When he does it fast, it sounds like the intro to the theme from 'Desmond's'.
So much so that this morning I dreamt I was in an episode. Desmond had two shirts on and everyone wanted to know why.

I also dreamt I was on a cruise ship in 1950s swimwear, whilst on the phone to another cruise ship passenger with one of those old brass phone thingies (a posh version of the'can-and-string').

I think I might do a weekly 'Roota's Dreams' thread. Seriously. I wake up exhausted because they're so vivid.
EDIT: What have you been dreaming about?

I had a dream last night that Billy Ray Cyrus won an oscar
for his work on Hannah Montana. When he went to collect it, instead of being in a suit, he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

I blame this wholly on the kid watching too much of the Disney XD channel. I refuse to even contemplate any other way that he could have penetrated my consciousness.

In a box of old stuff
Mrs SLVA has a Basil Brush toy. It's about a foot high, wears a red waitcoat and has a pull-string that causes it to say a selection of phrases in a crackly voice.

I dreamt it had turned feral, so I locked it in the bedroom and went downstairs to play with the trainset (that I don't even have) in the understairs cupboard. Basil was in there and was most frightening. As I tried to fend it off, I'd reached up and pulled my wife's hair in my sleep. That woke her up and she back-heeled me in the shin.

I've been watching too much Supernatural
as my actual dream was I was some kind of demon hunter and I needed AL's help with something. God knows why Al popped into my subconcious. Maybe it's trying to tell me I really do need professional help.

There is no such thing as "too much Supernatural".

I had a long-winded and frankly tedious dream
related two the two parts of 'Search for the Lost Civilisation' I watched last night, in which a mongoloid man has spent 10 years trying fruitlessly to prove that because there are various similarities between unrelated ancient world civilisations such as the Maya and the Egyptians (both created pyramids! Both were astronomers!), they must have been communicating with each other.

An entertaining but massively flawed argument, and a really dull dream: I woke up thinking about the number of steps in the pyramids of Teotihuacan.

I dreamt - no word of a lie - that I came home
to find that my landlord had finally got round to putting our living room floor back down. It was so vivid that I was even slightly disappointed to come downstairs this morning and find the floorboards were still up.

This is how exciting my life has become.

Actually, it got more interesting after someone female came round to visit, and things got a bit exciting up until the point that polystyrene packaging got involved, for reasons best known to my irritable subconscious.

(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Wed 10 Mar 2010, 9:56, Reply)

Good guess
But I seem to remember it being more along the lines of one of those "let me slip into something more comfortable" moments, only to find that "something more comfortable" equated to something which looked like it had been fashioned, Blue-Peter style, from a load of blocks of polystyrene.

It depends
If you were a microbiologist, it could be a wonderful secret to think there might be fascinating colonies of micro-organisms flourishing, untempered, inside these cavitites.

But my guess is that you're not a microbiologist. (Unless you're a microbiology journalist? Or maybe just a regular-sized biologist.)

Dreaming about secret half-floors
I have a theory that dreaming about secret half-floors in your house (or somewhere familiar) might be a symptom that you have an aspect of yourself that has been hidden from your concious.
