Here's a short snippet of a 4 part freaky dream I had a few months ago (the rest of it is written down on Microsoft word), a warn you it's long:
Part 4B: The old cottage
I was by the lawns watching the chimps going about their daily lives and the tour guide was with me and my dad again. Down a path by a hedge was a small cottage/house that is not longer lived in and the tour guide let us look through the window and it was quite a mess inside. The man told us the old owner of this house moved out years and years ago and when he left the chimps went in and trashed the place, and thus lowered the value of the house to some low price and no one has moved in since.
Then we peaked through a telescope type lens and it was playing an old video of 2 of the chimps, one of them the alpha male and another chimp who was his friend. They were infants of about 2 and 3 and they were in the house, the 2 year old alpha male was banging children’s books about and ripping out pages and his 3 year old friend was running up the stairs and falling/sliding back down them deliberately. We were all laughing out loud at the videos even though they weren’t laugh out loud funny if I watched them in real life. Then the video stopped and we were just looking into the messy living room, it wasn’t completely trashed, and the furniture still stood at their normal place but there were objects knocked over and the settee was pushed askew.
The tour guide said they weren’t allowed to go back in that house again after that, but they had a feeling they were still sneaking in, or did I have that feeling? I can’t remember now. When we walked away I saw the alpha male chimp look at me funny, I don’t know what he was thinking but he gave me a dirty look anyway. Later on I asked my dad if we could sneak in the cottage and have a look around, my dad thought it was a bad idea in case there were any chimps in there but I persuaded him. We look around in the living room and in the kitchen, the kitchen was quite small but practical, it still had all the old worktops and equipment, but it was a bit rough round the edges where the chimps had messed around. For some reason I kept imagining someone had died here, and there would be a body. We went upstairs and it was the upstairs that was trashed, furniture tipped over, stuff emptied out of boxes. My strange inkling was true, in a cupboard we found the body of a young chimp that had been recently murdered by another chimp. We went downstairs and decided it would be a good idea if we went, we had a feeling someone was outside close by so we went to the back door in the kitchen but I said there might be chimps coming in from that side so my dad panicked then had a go at me for suggesting this.
Then he opened the front door and stood outside urging me to run out but I was really apprehensive.
When I did run out I saw the alpha male chimp standing close by so we ran really fast away from the grass, he spotted us and started to chase us. We ran to this other grassy bit, there were rows of hedges and a really low hedge which is supposed to be the edge of the chimp’s home but they can easy just step over it. We were running in various directions with the chimp still chasing us, we ran on this field thinking we were safe but he was really close to us. There was a long rock with knobbles on it so we climbed up, but he followed and was on the rock next to us. He jabbed my shoulder and I faced him, he started talking, “why did you go in that house?” I said no one lives there and he corrected us, “no, I do, we do and you’ve just trespassed on our property, you can’t go walking into random houses you think are empty.” He was surprisingly cool about it, and then he started to tell us how he learned to read. He asked if he saw the video of him as a kid ripping the books, I said yeah and he told me during that time he found that the words made sense and since then he has read long philosophy books.
He left us after that and went back into his cottage. After a bit I asked my dad if we could go over and talk to him because he seems like a nice guy, buy my dad was like “no, remember he’s a chimp he still acts like a chimp he could turn dangerous.” I said “did you know I’m dreaming?” he was really shocked so I said “since I’m dreaming I can do whatever I want and not get hurt.” We went to the house, when we got there the entrance changed and we were in what looked like a dungeon type place, all dark with torches on the wall and this other chimp in a big hood like a cult follower walked in and asked us what we wanted. We said we wanted to see the alpha male chimp, and the hooded chimp said something along the lines of “our master is in, he might not want to see you.” I asked if I could knock on his door and he said yes but he doesn’t guarantee the “master” would answer us. He did answer and was quite friendly, the inside of the living room changed a lot and was now quite a nice, neat place that was dimly lit and had an open fireplace and the chimp was wearing a smoking jacket. He said he was about to go out but we could go with him if we wanted so we agreed to it, we went to what looked like a school or something and we were going up winding stairs. He was talking about deep subjects but his philosopher image seemed contrived, we came across some kids about 8 and 9 sitting on the top of one set of stairs talking and joking, then the chimp told them to go back to school then told them a long winded definition of the word school in a sarcastic tone while walking into a room with another school class in. A teacher was there and she was rolling her eyes at the chimp because she knows him very well, he then gave the school definition in Latin. He was talking to the teacher about young hooligans and kids loitering around and not joining in lessons, and she was like “ok whatever then.” Then gave me a look like “you know what he’s like.”
