       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning November 2nd - I don't know... problem with not
       getting onto the computer until later in the day, more time for
       me to lose the dream before writing up notes.
       Early morning November 3rd - a few scraps... a bit with a
       Hololive EN collab, with both Gura and the Tempus boys present
       (in something like a drained swimming pool), and her questioning
       them on sharing some fire-and-ice theming with Council. Another
       with me sorting stuff under my bed including some Horrible
       Histories books. One - possibly after waking up and drifting off
       again - with some His Dark Materials anime, with Mrs Coulter and
       the golden monkey travelling on a yacht.
       Early morning November 4th - a whole load of cool stuff, and the
       only thing I remember is meeting Karl Pilkington in some
       store...
       Early morning November 5th - I was browsing an issue of Doctor
       Who Magazine in the bedroom, and wound up reading about Mariah
       Carey guest-starring in an episode... which turned into her
       (possibly in-character) wandering around a dark maze, and Gura
       finding her and greeting her cutely. Mum wound up overhearing or
       something, and I rewound the footage (I guess it was now the
       iPad?) to show her the encounter; she found Gura cute. Another
       bit was me listening to some old Ricky/Steve/Karl XFM stuff,
       with three songs being announced and clips being played -
       possibly as some feature Karl was doing - including "Smashing
       Pumpkins by The Smashing Pumpkins" (actually Bullet with
       Butterfly Wings - which then turned out to be a new remix), and
       another song which I wanted to try and download. Then Musics was
       on the way and I was exhausted and worried I'd barely be able to
       make it through. The final bit I recall is being in bed
       (possibly the following day?), realising I hadn't flipped my
       pillows when I went to bed, and having Dad leaning over my bed
       to talk to a neighbour through the window.
       Early morning November 6th - probably missing bits, but... a bit
       with me running some clothes-ironing (or otherwise
       freshening-up) service from the airing cupboard, with a
       childhood classmate dropping some stuff off. This turned into
       the same thing but at a cool playground, and then there were
       loads of people around with some kind of connection to The
       Office (UK), then Office footage including some singing and a
       scene (in rougher camcorder style) of David Brent quitting as
       the conclusion of Series 1.
       Early morning November 7th - I was going on some school trip
       (possibly abroad)... I don't recall many specifics, but I know
       there was a coach journey (during which I think I chatted with
       an old friend), then us arriving at some large treehouse-like
       place (with that one-time crush possibly being there).
       Morning November 7th - possibly more with the trip, if I'm not
       mistaken and it was actually just part of the initial dream...
       lounging around in a tree top with my fellow trip-goers, with
       another crush joining me and possibly getting cosy with me. I
       think there may've been some other thing that's now slipped my
       mind... Finally, me listening to the radio late at night (oh
       hey, snap) and some beautiful song coming up, with me trying to
       get the lyrics to jot down (it was not unlike Lady Gaga's song
       for A Star is Born, and possibly turned into it by the end).
       Plus being in the kitchen and... possibly having the window as a
       monitor, and also having a fly on the other side? Not sure...

       Early morning November 8th - first thing I recall is being in
       some department store - or possibly some convention - with
       multiple floors and me interacting with people... not sure on
       the details, may have even been an element with it being a book
       store (or a book area of the department store). Only other thing
       that's still with me is Impractical Jokers being on TV,
       specifically a Murr bit, and I have "water thing maybe-?" jotted
       down but I don't recall what that is now.
       Early morning November 9th - aaaall forgotten.
       Morning November 9th - almost entirely forgotten too, other than
       something with me in the living room and then going into the
       study.
       Early morning November 10th - probably forgetting bits here, but
       I recall a balcony outside the Languages block at my old school,
       with the school being directly at the seafront, and then some
       connecting stairway(s) to some little (first floor) cafe place
       where Ryan Reynolds was hanging out and chatting with people.
       Also rehearsal stuff in the main Drama Studio, with one of the
       Drama teachers (and my Year 7-8 form tutor) having us read
       through a script, and me reading lines for a bear character,
       being prompted to (or remembering to) play it like Iorek and
       then shifting back to my own accent while keeping the tone.
       Probably more beside all that.
       Early morning November 11th - forgot by the time I got to typing
       it up...
       Early morning November 12th - began in Asda, with IIRC some
       initial set-up with the Panesar family from EastEnders, before
       Mum and I headed into, err, the Tesco car park. At the car,
       there were a batch of images (slideshow-style) involving a loli
       bound in some fashion. From here, there are two major strands
       and I don't recall how the order all the bits came - they were
       all intertwined, alternating - so... One continued the Panesar
       stuff, with a bit with me and Nish in the kitchen, me discussing
       the other parentage of some of his kids, and then later me in a
       version of my parents' room (or just some other bedroom), with
       Ash, who I was clearly in a relationship with because there was
       nuzzling and smooching as we were on the bed. The other was
       Doctor Who stuff - a part with Twelve making some big speech
       while fending off skull-headed monsters, possibly a 'The Long
       Game' bit, and finally - definitely after the bit with Ash - the
       cold-open of 'The Unquiet Dead' with Simon Callow's Dickens
       reading aloud a letter Dickens had written in real life.
       Early morning/Morning November 13th - sadly hazy now... the
       start and end in particular are gone. I think some big
       apocalyptic event of some kind had happened? The bits I remember
       begin with a huge assembly, where I met up with some of the
       Hololive girls (I think at least Gura and Ame?), and where we
       were all having to try and correctly guess/answer something or
       give suggestions, with only one answer/suggestion per person.
       Then, stuff with me doing stuff in the bedroom, with Freddie
       Slater from EastEnders coming in and... turning the TV on or
       off. I wound up going back and forth between bedroom and
       bathroom, while Freddie and Bobby Beale were lying on my
       parents' bed (their shared room in this scenario) watching
       something and I kept stealing glances at Bobby's feet.
       Early morning November 14th - no clue beyond maaaybe some Zeta
       stream? But that might have been a waking thought.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A lot of split "early morning/morning" ones this week, where I
       kept waking up briefly due to Mum being in the room while Dad
       was self-isolating... though really, I guess I shouldn't count
       waking for a minute in the actual morning and then drifting off,
       only I no longer recall if any of these were properly "waking up
       at normal time, then dozing off again". So it stays just for
       these.
       Early morning/Morning November 16th - began with me being told
       to look after younger versions of myself and my brother,
       possibly as punishment/recompense for something I'd done
       (possibly in the study). There was an initial panic about having
       to change nappies, but then the main part here was me
       supervising my younger self (aged about 5 or 6) in the bath, in
       an older version of our bathroom, while keeping an eye on my
       brother (oddly aged 2 or 3). I talked with my younger self about
       a Beast Wars figure (possibly asking which one he was getting
       next), which was really cool. Then, a separate part beginning
       with some classroom and Sam Mitchell from EastEnders, which
       somehow led to outside the back gate and my family and I going
       to take part in some challenge/game thing. We headed off down
       the side path and then down the road, and I had to zip my flies
       up. I was then taking part in the challenge, a VR-like
       experience with something like 22 or 27 levels, and I had to run
       but of course found myself dream-running (complete with the old
       "crawling-on-all-fours is easier" bit).
       Early morning/Morning November 17th - a little bit in an English
       lesson, with my Year 10-11 English teacher... then, unrelated as
       best as I recall, a very understated school reunion, in a mix
       between my bedroom and a classroom. There was only a handful of
       people there, and I was hanging out with the one friend I'm
       still in touch with. I wound up leaving the room, which was on
       the top floor of the Humanities department, and began heading
       the stairs, passing other classmates. Much of the rest of the
       dream occurred in the living room, though I'm not sure all of
       these bits were grouped together. One was me entering the room
       and seeing that Mum had hung the old net curtains back up for
       some reason. Our late cat was also back. Lastly, at night, I was
       on an armchair (the one we no longer have, basically) with my
       brother (early-teens version), watching videos on an old mobile
       phone. One of the videos was at some place like Highclere Castle
       and its grounds - my brother made some comment or something, and
       I squeezed his cheeks playfully. I was then on the sofa, trying
       to carefully watch lewder videos on the phone. Some stuff came
       up involving my brother's girlfriend, specifically some figure
       or other present which had been ordered for her, only it needed
       to be changed and it was past midnight which had some impact.
       Some other people got involved, some heist or something... I
       just recalled while typing too, possibly something to do with
       Haribo?
       Early morning(/Morning?) November 18th - began with me in
       EastEnders, though I don't recall the plot going on; I then
       wound up talking with Charlie Brooker, and possibly somebody
       else, and gave my thoughts on Janine as a character, especially
       with her current run being the first time I've properly seen the
       character. This transitioned into the living room, with me at
       the table, as some war-related show (possibly Dad's Army) played
       on TV. It ended on some Tom and Jerry slapstick skit, which I
       found interesting in that slapstick ryona fashion and went to
       re-watch in, for some reason, my parent's room. As a separate
       bit, Digimon stuff was on TV, with me and Dad watching - it
       began as tri., but then was followed Kizuna. The first thing I
       recall is Taichi and Agumon along with Gomamon, not sure if that
       was the tri. or Kizuna part... the Kizuna one definitely had a
       scene with Koushiro and Mimi, with an alluring look from the
       latter to the former amidst some battle going on. Dad wasn't
       entirely sure about it all.
       Early morning November 19th - overall details forgotten, but I
       think some pre-Musics bit with me getting my ice cream (probably
       late, as per usual), and noticing a spot I'd missed when shaving
       (seemingly clean-shaving as it was a patch of stubble on my
       jawline). Was also some bit with me having long hair again, and
       it being a bit knotted or otherwise needing a comb, along with
       me recognising that I'd need to shave it all off again the
       following morning.
       Early morning November 20th - main stuff was some alternate
       version of Spider-Man: Homecoming, though I only really recall
       the conclusion (or at least some later part of the film) being
       set in a school hall, possibly during an assembly, with a
       somewhat-off MJ appearing in only a small role. I think I recall
       some driving around (a somewhat-off version of) town too, all
       leading to me and others being invited into a house belonging to
       somebody who's actually a next-door neighbour. I don't really
       recall anything in particular here other than having entered
       through the back door and hanging around in the kitchen.
       Morning November 20th - part with me in the garden, specifically
       closing up the shed (which was near-empty or at least very
       spacious). Part with me in the shower, which was deeper than in
       reality... and possibly some Muppets connection?
       Early morning November 21st - not sure if I even had a dream, I
       can faintly recall something Taskmaster-related...

       Early morning/Morning November 22nd - probably forgetting
       stuff... one part had me accepting delivery of a large number of
       figures and other toys I'd ordered, with Dad being baffled by me
       getting so much stuff all at once. I then noticed I'd received a
       different LEGO set to what I'd wanted, and went onto this site
       to try and check if I'd ordered the wrong thing. I think there
       was some Taskmaster bit too, not sure on details... finally, me
       listening to what was supposedly an IRyS song, but was actually
       Moona's High Tide. I hummed along in harmony, and my harmonising
       with the chorus was how Moona sings the final chorus.
       Early morning November 24th - began with some version of His
       Dark Materials Series 3, in some forest area, with myself and
       others following Lyra down some narrow pathway. I was then Lyra,
       way up ahead on the path. I found some offshoot, and tore down a
       couple branches to make an arrow pointing the people following
       me in the direction of the offshoot before heading that way. I
       then found (what was meant to be) Asriel and a group of others
       fishing; when he saw me, he hugged me, with the idea being that
       it was a long-awaited reunion. Next up, me watching what was
       meant to be an early episode of The Chase, which began with Brad
       up in the Chaser's end of the table, which was incredibly steep
       and which he carefully slid down while noting the steepness and
       height. There were six contestants, each of which had a short
       head-to-head round against a different Chaser, one being Shaun
       Wallace and another a lady of South Asian descent. The last bit
       began in an alternate version of my bedroom, which was seemingly
       a dorm room. It was night, and I looked behind the curtains to
       see a gorgeous view out of the window - like what Google tells
       me is a fiord coast, steep grassy peaks with water. A
       butterfly-like Pokemon even emerged. Then I was in some extra
       off-shoot area, still looking out of a window, with a version of
       the upcoming early '91 Storm Marvel Legend appearing out of the
       window, shaking around like somebody out-of-view was holding it,
       remarking about being oily or something. I wound up throttling
       the figure in frustration.
       Morning November 24th - part with me looking through the
       Taskmaster YouTube channel, which had clips uploaded of the
       green room from older iterations of The Jonathan Ross Show,
       basically any time any Taskmaster competitors had appeared.
       There was also more His Dark Materials stuff continuing from the
       earlier dream, and this connected to me writing the episode in
       KIT Scenarist. Possibly one last thing that eludes me.
       Early morning November 25th - was stuff with me at school,
       undertaking Psychology lessons or something in what was
       originally the Maths block and later the Religious Studies one.
       I don't recall much, other than me flying off the handle and
       storming off, before being invited into another room, some kind
       of support room, to talk about it. IIRC Mum also appeared,
       concerned for my well-being.
       Early morning November 26th - a bit hazy... I was with a load of
       old classmates, and we were filming stuff in the woods nearby.
       There was some lady with a lasso, which kept causing fires when
       she'd reign it back in (or was otherwise somehow catching fire
       with it?), which we had to try and avoid. I believe the
       classmates were also all staying over at mine? Was also,
       somewhere in here, Gura and Ame sat on a cliff-face, giving
       farewell interviews as they were leaving Hololive. Not sure
       beyond that.
       Morning November 26th - began with me home alone at night and
       preparing to go to bed, including struggling to sort the blinds
       out properly. There may have been some stuff with a Gura stream
       too. I went to bed, and woke up the following day to find that
       my family had returned and that several figures had fallen down
       the back of my standing shelves. I started putting them back - I
       can't recall what they were, but there was quite a mix. (Funnily
       enough, while making my bed after getting up after this dream, I
       accidentally knocked the shelves with my knuckle and toppled two
       of the Psycho Rangers.)
       Early morning November 27th - a load of weird stuff, but all I
       recall is driving (with no vehicle?) though a forest with Greg
       Davies, possibly having pitched something to or with him, while
       watching (without a screen) an interview with Ncuti Gatwa in
       which he answered in very eccentric fashion, which Greg praised.
       Early morning November 28th - forgotten...

       Date: December 19, 2022, 8:38 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Catching up time catching up time-
       Early morning November 29th - I got out of bed, and went into
       the bathroom (in its old state), to find myself with long hair
       like Yamcha's when I looked in the mirror. I wound up going back
       to bed, there was some gaming and a Call Me Kevin clip or
       something... details hazy after this beyond my hair returning to
       normal.
       Early morning November 30th - a very long and winding dream, so
       here's my write-up as shared with a friend (with anonymity
       edits):
       So. The initial dream. First thing I recall is being at my old
       school, specifically the hall which was totally empty of people
       or tables despite it seemingly being break. I was trying to film
       a spin-around of it to show the friend. Mum was also present,
       and there was a cat/kitten which I had to feed - plus something
       about opening up a door (the one to the sunken garden area) to
       let a dog in, or something. This trailed off into me leaving for
       the day - possibly in a car in some form, maybe open/barely a
       car like another recent dream, but just heading off the school
       grounds - and I believe around here the main plot thread of this
       dream came up. I was talking with... possibly Calli and Bae,
       about some regime that was in place. There may then have been a
       part that involved the trip home, memory's hazy here... but I
       got home, possibly 00s vibes, and I wound up finding a map of
       this island that I suppose we were on, with a highlighted area
       where the heads of the regime were going to be dumping...
       something. It was also nearly at the most northerly point of the
       map, highlighted alongside clock hands nearby - the hands would
       tick clockwise each day, and when they landed on that circled
       spot, that would be the night the stuff would be dumped. I
       reported this to Fauna in the living room. (Thinking about it
       now - possible home stuff I'm also forgetting?)
       Rare line-break, man... Then we were on this coach journey
       across the island, planning to intercept the dumping.
       Eventually, we stopped off somewhere and a slightly older guy
       (like, we're all in our teens - "we" being I guess myself and
       nobody else in particular at this moment - so he's early 20s?),
       who leads us to this currently-uninhabited house that he knows
       the owners of. We're going to spend the night there. Briefly,
       I'm the toootally-not-love-interest of a girl played by
       Charlotte Ritchie - it seems we've already slept in the same bed
       once or twice, but no, this time we'll sleep in separate beds.
       Then I'm me, watching through a crack in the door as one of the
       friend's characters (but white) and some guy also settle down in
       separate beds - she might be into him - and she winds up rolling
       over and her feet pop out of the covers (oddly, with one dirty
       sole). A character played by Hugh Laurie then catches me, and I
       coolly bluff that I like her (as opposed to "I was hoping to see
       feets - and I did!"). The room I'm peeping from is now my living
       room, and he and I sit to talk, only this then transitions into
       outside, possibly by a bus-stop, and I'm an irate character
       played by Stephen Fry (it was only a while after waking that I
       went "oh, sh!t, yeah, they used to work together"). The others
       wind up joining us again - then brief bit, the only one I'm not
       sure on the transitions for, with Lyra and Pan, we're all at
       Jordan College and Pan's getting emotional, crying - Mum is
       watching (as though it's now a show?) and remarks that Pan's
       voiced by a girl, based on the performance. Then, back to the
       plot - we overtake the regime's big truck, pulling up on the
       road ahead of it. Kobo is selected to speak first, because
       she's, uhm, wearing Shinobu's dress. But it's Kobo and her
       English is not great elite and she perhaps doesn't even quite
       get what's going on. Calli then begins making an impassioned
       speech about a friend she's lost due to all this.
       As I guess an epilogue - plan worked regime won over day saved -
       I'm in a mall, where... possibly initially Joe from Impractical
       Jokers is doing stuff, but then it's the other three along with
       a new guy, who's black. It's a team task, and Sal and the new
       guy are paired together, with Sal repeatedly seeing this other
       black guy (maybe meant to be a relative - maybe dead ancestor -
       of the new guy, and new guy keeps saying he's not seeing him,
       like Sal's being messed with. I walk on further into the mall,
       with an in-person friend, and we wind up wandering into this
       clothes shop, where a load of women (mostly young) are sat on
       the floor, barefoot, naming... favourite body parts or
       something? I obviously take glances (though not of the older
       ladies), and then we sort of loop back around and I think it
       turns out that this was a set up for me to meet a woman?
       Morning November 30th - again, copy+paste... Initial thing, I
       feel like I'm forgetting detail I originally retained now, but I
       was on the computer. I wound up wandering off to (a
       slightly-altered, but still current-layout take on) my room, and
       got involved with some sort of puzzle game on the bedroom floor
       - kind of like a sliding puzzle game crossed with Thirteen (game
       on the DW site, merge two of the same Doctor to make the next,
       but you can only move all images at once and new First Doctors
       always spawn in). I think one of the images was Daspletosaurus?
       Tharries was then present and getting involved (and I guess not
       wheelchair-bound as I think he was on the floor with me), and
       one of the tiles turned into... a pile of newspaper clippings?
       Maybe not initially, but I wound up looking through this pile,
       which included a photo of what was at first a Ricky and Steve
       stand-up thing but then turned into something else, and a review
       of maybe Coronation Street with a caption including a child
       character, with the actor's surname being a word generally spelt
       with an e but it used a u instead - I couldn't think of another
       example and Tharries' suggestion wasn't right. Somehow - maybe
       I'm forgetting a linking bit - this then became me playing Toph,
       barefoot and all, with Iroh sending me to take some velvet rugs
       out. There was a big pothole in the living room, which I skirted
       (I was still using my vision, but I walked along the edge), and
       I think made a comment on. Outside... I'm not sure if I'd also
       been advised to ask, or if this request came once I was out, but
       I asked my brother how he was (not sure if he was also an Avatar
       character), with him giving a generic and non-committal reply. I
       went back to inform Iroh. Feels like I'm missing details now,
       perhaps not but considering how much I've had to retain...
       Early morning December 1st - the main part of the dream was set
       in a the main Drama studio at my old school, with a large group
       of us all stood in a round with people going into the middle and
       performing brief skits to everybody. I went into the middle, lay
       on my side, and began talking about how sexy I was... nobody
       laughed, so I preceded to get up and head for the back door,
       which did get a stir until I clarified it was just a gag
       over-reaction to my initial joke flopping (not sure if that was
       the intent from beginning or an improvisation). Not sure beyond
       that, there may have been a separate bit with me playing
       Pokemon.
       Morning December 1st - I was in the car with Mum and Dad (though
       I think in the front passenger seat?), and we stopped in an
       imaginary road like our local roads. They got out, while I was
       messing with the radio, which was controlled by spaghetti or
       something. No clue beyond that.
       Early morning December 2nd - no idea.
       Early morning/Morning December 3rd - random sequence of events,
       probably missing details... one part included Lisa Simpson
       living in a caravan in a garden, only for Deadpool to burst in
       and cause her to freak out. Then there was stuff in... possibly
       a waiting room, where I was playing Zen Match on my phone or a
       tablet but it was weird in some way. As a separate bit, I was
       keeping both our cat and a new puppy in the bedroom (with the
       old carpet, but I think the current beds). The cat was being
       very calm in the puppy's presence. I wound up noticing that the
       carpet was scratched up by the door, and then that the puppy had
       both peed and pooped on the carpet.
       Early morning/Morning December 4th - only thing I remember is
       watching some video of Spider-Man, either official content or
       just a guy in some kind of cosplay or morph suit. I noticed the
       definition of his soles through the suit, and then read some
       comments that may or may not have been about that, and I
       remember nothing else-
       Early morning/Morning December 5th - was with an in-person
       friend (the same one as the end of the November 30th dream),
       heading into a mall or train station, being quiet as he was
       annoyed. Some woman greeted me, though I didn't recognise her -
       nevertheless, I got talking with her, and wound up walking with
       her to a sort of stairwell. It turned out she'd met me along
       with some other students, and I confessed to her as she asked
       questions that I actually didn't go to the same school as them:
       whatever circumstances she'd met me under, I was essentially a
       fraud. I briefly woke up here; when I drifted back, off, I was
       in some office or something, with a bizarre, large spiral
       leading down in place of a staircase. I dropped something down
       it but it turned out I wasn't allowed to. Was also a bit -
       possibly actually at the start, before my friend and I entered
       the mall/train station - with me spotting stuff down a side
       alley - not sure from my notes now if I was Miles Morales or saw
       him, but there were a lot of AU selves down the alley. Not sure
       beyond that.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning/Morning December 6th - I think I woke up at some
       point during all of this... First part began with driving around
       and became myself and family attending a royal visit in the main
       hall of my childhood school. I was standing in line, there were
       celebrities or something, and I wound up realising I was in only
       a dressing gown and my underwear, possibly with a t-shirt on
       too. The King was then showing off some royal items - initially
       fake ones, then the actual ones which looked pretty old and
       worn. He was very friendly and inviting which was neat. Then, a
       version of Doctor Who Series 2, with the Ninth Doctor: Rose
       talking with some other girl, while I think the Doctor was with
       Jackie in a living room (not the Tylers'). There was a bit with
       Ironmouse and me, where one of us (not sure who now) caught a
       flea and I showed her to drown it, complete with surfactant
       talk. Finally, a whole bit beginning with Alex imprisoned in
       some building and impaled on some stake. Lucy wound up running
       to the rescue (I have "Draco comparison" here - I think in the
       dream this gesture was meant to be like something he did?),
       heading into this reception area and then using an elevator to
       go into the basement cell where Alex was - I saw all of this as
       her. The two headed back out, and this transitioned into me and
       a childhood classmate, walking onwards up a slope and into a
       forest path, with me explaining PTW to her including the chapter
       counts. A couple of childhood friends may have also been with
       us. I put my foot up on a wooden stump to re-tie my shoelaces,
       and wound up getting some bugs on my foot, which I had to shake
       off.
       Early morning/Morning December 7th - a whole load of stuff, but
       all I remembered after waking was being in the... top floor,
       loft conversion maybe, of some old couple's house and having
       essentially a very bad asthma attack, being unable to breathe.
       Early morning/Morning December 8th - no idea.
       Early morning/Morning December 9th - one bit with MHA stuff,
       with the end of an arc and then a prom arc (or story/event) was
       next... I recall some Deku and Ochaco thing, maybe I was him as
       per? Another bit with Mum and me sat on her bed, talking about
       Michael Rosen and with me bringing up the memes. The largest
       part began at some unknown place, vaguely like a larger version
       of my cousin's room at my maternal grandparents' old place,
       with... either other beds or sofas and chairs, alongside a bed
       off to one side that I was on. I think I was reading a palaeo
       (or at least science) book at one point, and then some woman
       approached me and read me a note that somebody else had written
       for me. At one point, we (me, her if this wasn't earlier, my
       family and more) all sang along with Bohemian Rhapsody on the
       radio. I clearly had some chemistry with the woman. At a later
       point, we drove back to the place, and I met with the woman
       outside. We actually wound up kissing... but then my
       subconscious rejected that, and as though it was a flash of
       imagination, I was instead returning to the car, telling Mum
       that nothing ended up happening. We wound up driving past the
       local cinema, which was having construction done, replacing the
       "currently showing" board with some big extension protruding
       over the road. Not sure on any further stuff.
       Early morning December 10th - no idea.
       Early morning December 11th - began with me at school, heading
       under the linked bridge bit between departments and finding a
       display at the front of the school showing off some new
       Digivolving Spirits figures. I think I had a feeling of "oh
       well, sold off the ones I had, too late now", and then headed to
       the library... not sure if more stuff happened there. Another
       part started with Ricky Gervais talking about (or just... doing)
       have a troublesome time at a convention, winding up heading
       through some back corridor into another convention, a virtual
       YouTuber one, next door, where he had a better time. I wound up
       doing the same, and then I'm not sure what happened but it wound
       up being Toys'R'Us, where I found some original Beast Wars
       figures on pegs (not even Retro releases, just original 90s
       figures). I picked up Waspinator, and... I have the note
       "label", not sure if I peeled off some new label or something...
       when I went to the checks-out, it turned into the ones in my
       local Iceland, and I got a free bonus of a Figuarts Kamen Rider
       belt add-on. I then headed off - with Mum, possibly - out of
       Iceland and off towards the car-park.
       Early morning/Morning December 12th - this was all one
       consecutive sequence, not sure if it was an initial dream or
       after I drifted back off. It started off as an Impractical
       Jokers punishment, with Q being punished in multiple ways while
       in this one room, including a load of faintly Na'vi-like aliens
       led by a queen entering the room. It was also Christmas - when
       we cut back to the other Jokers, Joe and Murr were both in a big
       Christmas tree, with Joe being funny. This somehow led to an
       EastEnders story, with Dot (this being the morning of her
       funeral episode) and something about her punching or Janine in
       the face (or maybe somebody else doing it, but regardless). This
       started with an early 00s flashback, with Dot, Sonia and Bianca
       watching something on TV, with the Jackson sisters' ages the
       wrong way around (and about ten years off). Janine walked past,
       in a strop, making some kind of homophobic complaint about the
       programme, before heading. This then turned to Dot having gone
       off on some journey, and returning, having (uncharacteristic)
       banter with people on the market, and having an exchange with
       Lola before heading into her house, which was more like an old
       London council house. In here, I was with her, and she wound up
       becoming my (paternal) grandmother. I embraced her, crying, as
       she sat on the sofa, rubbing my back.
       Additionally, no idea where it went in amongst all of this...
       slight possibility it was amidst the Digivolving Spirits bit...
       but I did wind up remembering a bit with me taking a
       quad-changing Charizard (or WarGreymon?) figure off of my
       wall-mounted shelf. Not sure if it was a mode of this figure (I
       thiiiink, though) or a separate one, but then I had
       Blackarachnia with the "helmet" part of her head removable.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning/Morning December 13th - one bit involving me (and
       others?) being in some place with the Yuru Yuri girls, in
       particular Kyouko... I think maybe her armpits got shown off in
       some fashion, as well as her socked feet, not sure past that.
       One with me working on scripting for the final series of His
       Dark Materials, with the full vision of a scene set in some big
       tropical archipelago (intended to be filmed in Argentina), and
       Jane Tranter having budget concerns over it, suggesting a
       rewrite (I believe I was in my living room for the
       non-archipelago parts of this). The final segment began with me
       in Year 13 of school, only my classroom here was in my parents'
       room. I was initially studying English, with my old Drama
       teacher (and Year 7/8 form tutor) reviewing my work; then I was
       sat at the window, in front of the mirror, not sure now what I
       was doing. I wound up skipping my final lesson of the day, and
       walked off to the village where my maternal grandparents used to
       live (travelling by a weird alternate route). I eventually wound
       up entering a version of the assisted living place where Nan
       spent much of her final years, again slightly off from reality -
       I eventually reached a large common room, where Nan was sat
       alongside Mum and other people. I joined them, and I think wound
       up showing off an exercise book of mine.
       Early morning December 14th - hazy... one part outside of
       school, with Janine Butcher from EastEnders driving me off, and
       another with me trying to book tickets to Avatar: The Way of
       Water at some place outside of what used to my parental
       grandparents' house at dusk. Any further details are lost.
       Early morning December 15th - only thing I recall is the
       delivery of Mum's birthday present having arrived, and me trying
       to discreetly check if the keyring was in there. Mum then
       confirmed that it was, and I got angry at her for spoiling the
       surprise for herself (as though this wasn't even the first
       time). I then wound up going into the kitchen to help my brother
       with... probably washing, possibly cooking.
       Early morning December 16th - all I recall is a family holiday
       in a caravan.
       Early morning December 17th - ... something involving Zendaya?
       Maybe?
       Early morning December 18th - I was in a KFC, talking (or
       overhearing talking?) about Legacy Silverbolt, and then there
       was something to do with other figures... no idea beyond that.
       Early morning December 19th - most of this is lost... There was
       stuff involving driving around the local area, some RPing
       element - including a couple of characters that a friend and I
       have, only they were Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen, still in a
       car - and Sucy from Little Witch Academia having died, as well
       as I think a later revelation at some other character being dead
       and me being exasperated and irked. Beyond that - absolutely no
       clue. Annoyingly.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Early morning December 20th - the family and I were going on a
       car journey somewhere, only once I got to the car, I realised
       that I hadn't grabbed my iPod. I had to rush back in to grab it
       and my headphones, with Dad being moody and making sarcastic
       comments that got me in turn annoyed. I believe we wound up
       going to some big house, but I don't really recall anything
       there. Then, we were at my paternal grandparents' old place, I
       was reading something in a newspaper (while sat on the floor),
       and Dad was still being annoying. As Mum and I were heading off
       or something, my brother (only as a little kid) was at the front
       door. I believe I woke up briefly here... I then dreamt about
       waking up to the imminent King-Ohger reveal, right down to
       checking the site I had up waiting on my phone in reality. The
       initial reveal was a catalogue page, right down to the
       background of the Kyoryuger ones (from a decade ago now,
       Christ...) - it had Red, Blue and Yellow Rangers, with black
       suits like the Entry (Raise) Forms from Geats, and coloured
       helmets with large black visors that encompassed much of the
       face area (funnily enough not unlike KuwagaOhger). It also
       appeared that Red was female - which was confirmed as I scrolled
       down further and found magazine images of the civilian cast,
       with Red confirmed as being female. Was other stuff in bed too,
       forgotten now... but it was funny how much my anticipation
       seeped into my subconscious that much. And great to then wake up
       and actually find the glorious poster.
       Morning December 20th - possibly more bed stuff? I definitely
       recall a bit where I got up or was sat on my bed, dunno where
       that was...
       Early morning December 21st - began with me preparing to go off
       on some month-long course abroad, gathering up stuff to take
       while discussion was had about a (non-specific) friend of my
       brother being pregnant. I can't recall for certain if I actually
       dreamt of going off on my flight, but I then wound up in my new
       room in this place. My phone finally got a connection, and
       messages from Mum came in, telling me that the baby had been
       born and been named Abby, as well as some results on that day's
       episode of The Chase. I messaged back. It gets iffy here,
       possibly a common room bit, something I forgot ("ala gaming?"
       apparently), but then it was the morning and I was in a room not
       unlike a Geography classroom from my old school with old
       classmates (notably the one-time crush). We each had to choose a
       food item in turn; I was one of the last, and picked some packet
       of crisps, possibly Skips. We then had to perform a task of some
       kind involving this. There was also another task set in a
       supermarket, where I think we had to find an item that belonged
       to us - I wound up questioning if some book was mine and to
       think that it wasn't, only to recognise my own handwriting in
       it. Something else happened there - maybe I was told off for
       shouting or something? Finally, a big school hallway like
       something out of a Shaft anime, and stuff going on with multiple
       live-action Peter Parkers and MJs (I think specifically
       Maguire!Peter and Zendaya!MJ going to speak with or find their
       partners). Not sure if there was anything else.
       Early morning December 22nd - I had The Dream again! In a toy
       aisle of some store, among other things, I found new releases of
       the original Toa (as in, I believe, the 2001 sets) in new
       canisters with oval cross-sections and with fancy new packaging
       art. In amongst this, there was also stuff with Marvel Legends,
       including stuff mixing them and the Toa, with some guy showing
       me a figure(/set) that I thought I might want only it turned out
       to be an Age of Apocalypse Magneto. I then found a classic
       Magneto figure. Was also a second part that I have no
       recollection of.
       Early morning December 23rd - stuff at the cinema, maybe
       beginning with (going to) see a film but I don't really recall.
       I wound up in some behind-the-scenes area, where I was suspended
       over a table in a lying (facing down) position. Somebody opened
       up the stitching of my sock and did something to my foot, while
       a guy with learning disabilities... was there, or maybe chatted
       with me. I was then wandering around, until Mum arrived to take
       me home. Not sure on any other details.
       Early morning December 24th - began in my paternal grandparents'
       garden, where there was a small dog running around. There was
       some storyline, but I don't recall the details... it was mixed
       in with stuff in my Primary School, where I was involved in some
       thing playing Deku. At one point there was some Doctor Who
       Christmas special with Thirteen, not sure on the plot there or
       anything else here honestly-
       Morning December 24th - there was a shower in a room that was
       basically a cross between the living room and my bedroom - the
       shower itself being basically like the wardrobes we have built
       into the bedroom walls, and in this case, the slatted door that
       the shower had (and our cupboards actually have) had been
       replaced, though I'm not sure what with. I think Ed Gamble was
       present, perhaps showing off the cubicle. I then went in to test
       it out. Next, I was on my bed reading some Wikipedia article -
       not sure what particularly - only to get distracted somebody,
       possibly Sheryl Crow, was sat on my brother's bed with another
       female singer (maaaaybe somebody like Lisa Stansfield), doing
       the first of some three-part skit series while Christina
       Aguilera waited further up on the bed for her instalment with
       Crow. The other two then approached her and did some sexual
       stuff to her, with me thinking to inform a friend of it as
       inspiration for an RP (including possible one of his story
       characters in the Aguilera role). Other people were then present
       - the room being a bit crowded - and I don't recall further
       details here, but I wound up in the living room. My brother's ex
       was lying on the sofa, and start rubbing her socked feet into my
       thighs, before asking me if I have a foot fetish. I obfuscated,
       and she said she'd asked my family if they thought I did, with
       my brother having said yes and my parents both unsure. I
       proceeded to tickle her feet. I think there was some more stuff,
       but I don't remember anymore.
       Early morning December 25th - no idea.
       Early morning December 26th - might have been more than this,
       but I remember being in some class or something in my room, on
       my bed with somebody else, and trying to explain stuff to the
       teacher about Carnotaurus - including citing stuff from an issue
       of the old Dinosaur! magazine, albeit with an inaccurate
       Carnotaurus (more of a typical Theropod body plan).

       Early morning/Morning December 27th - the bedroom was set up as
       it used to be - bunk beds, older blue carpet - and, in the small
       hours, an online friend was sleeping on the floor. I wound up
       attempting to snuggle up to him (possibly even in a state of
       undress). I think this was intercut with me going to the
       bathroom, which had a small step up into it and a dated layout
       (like, it felt old, not it was an older bathroom), and possibly
       even talking with one of my parents. At the end, my friend
       rolled onto his side, and I moved to go and indulge in his feet.
       I woke up right before anything happened, not sure if that was a
       brief waking or my normal waking time. Whatever the case, I
       drifted off again and dreamt of... pub stuff, and the kitchen,
       and I have no idea on anything beyond that.
       Early morning December 28th - not sure if I had a dream here but
       I feel like I did...
       Early morning December 30th - meanwhile, this one just got
       forgotten.
       Early morning December 31st - a school dream, starting in a
       Biology class if I'm not mistaken, then heading down and across
       to the library, hovering on the stairs (not literally) and maybe
       fiddling with a Transformers figure or something before heading
       in. I talked with the librarian, who was maybe a bit of a troll,
       and I recall an old classmate being there too. Possibly then
       heading to the Sixth Form Centre...? That just came to me as I
       was typing, I recall some kind of assembly or something...
       Early morning January 1st - a very weird one. Began with a new
       season of Impractical Jokers, with a new title sequence focusing
       on random people (including a pre-teen girl and an older lady,
       IIRC) - possibly even seen first in live-action and then in an
       animated form, definitely the latter at least. The first
       challenge was in some big park, on a slope, where each joker had
       to try and hide before the others would look for him. I was
       Murr, taking some family's picnic blanket to hide under and
       being found pretty quickly. Then, as myself, I was with some of
       the other guys, and a crew-member was talking to us, which
       somehow led to me having a big coat on with balled-up, used
       toilet wipes in one of my pockets. I went to get rid of them,
       which in turn resulted in checking in a load of empty
       Transformers boxes, all different Optimus figures (and in the
       Legacy style), with at least one also having balled-up wipes.
       Another, separate bit had me sat at the computer at night when a
       female voice outside of the window claimed "it's 4am". I was
       spooked, and I think told them to go away (or just that, yes, I
       knew) - then they were standing outside the front door, and I
       could somehow identify them as my brother's ex. I let her in and
       showed her some stuff (I forget what now). Possibly connected to
       this was stuff with me in an alternate, somehow nostalgic
       version of my parents' room, in the day. They had a small
       bookshelf, and I was looking through books. This was on the
       first floor - possibly vibes of the place where we used to
       dog-sit when I was little. There was possibly some toy stuff and
       me interacting with my brother and his girlfriend too. Not sure
       on any further details.
       Early morning January 2nd - a bit hazy too... began with Lyra
       and Will, clearly in my mind after watching the HDM finale
       (sniffle), and Lyra reading aloud some letter she'd written to
       somebody regarding them having made her recognise her
       bisexuality. This turned into a weird school thing, possibly in
       a computer lab but in a cross between my living room and the
       outdoors. I think there was a teacher at one point; at others,
       it may have just been a group of us (all guys, I think?) working
       on stuff casually. I think the guy from the Dec 31st dream was
       there. Near the end, a friend from school popped up and tried to
       show some old video (circa Year 8?) including both of us on... a
       computer, or the TV. I wasn't interested. Oh, possibly a bit
       with somebody sussing my fetish (that's becoming a worrying
       trend)? And I'm also recalling some Simpsons element too, now,
       which possibly came first... more alternate early episodes.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Firstly, at some point in the previous week - possibly the
       January 2nd dream - there was a bit possibly involving the Young
       Justice 4 being part of a new Titans comic run.
       Early morning January 3rd - hazy now. Part with that one-time
       crush and the usual... complicated relationship we had. Part
       with the bathroom, possibly my brother and I attempting to get
       in there while Dad was asleep, and making sure not to turn the
       shower on when turning the light on. Not sure beyond that.
       Early morning January 4th - forgotten...
       Early morning January 5th - some storyline going on, including
       Joe Thomas, Lou Sanders and a third person (poooossibly Richard
       Herring, at least somebody like him) getting into these cars -
       perhaps equivalent to Turbo Zords - and driving through a series
       of underground tunnels and spaces reminiscent of indoor
       carparks. There was also stuff, out in the open, with some
       celebrities in a car. Not really sure on anything else here.
       Early morning January 6th - only thing I remember now is stuff
       at school with Magni leaving Holostars, and Axel (I think) being
       the only Tempus member left. Ironic considering Tempus has now
       doubled in size- Doubtless more but all gone now.
       Early morning/Morning January 7th - I woke and fell back to
       sleep at least once in all of this. Not certain on the order of
       these early bits, but one was an old CITV show, set possibly in
       Newcastle, a sort of gritty 80s or early 90s working class feel,
       then followed up by a This Morning or Loose Women type show. The
       other bit was some kind of mish-mash hero group off on some
       adventure in suburbia, not unlike the local area. Then it turned
       out there were 17 members and the line-up needed to be trimmed
       down. Not sure if this then led into the next bit (which of
       course would make this order correct), but the next thing I
       recall is Stacey and Lily Slater from EastEnders asleep on my
       parents' bed, both barefoot. I tried to snap photos of Lily's
       feet with my phone, and she woke up and noticed; I gave a little
       "shhh" and poked her cheek, then found I'd not even successfully
       taken the photo. Possibly as a totally-unrelated bit, possibly
       after waking up, I was sat at a table in a big hall, with other
       people including Johnny Depp. Strong by Robbie Williams was
       playing, and Depp voiced his like of the "every morning when I
       wake up, I look like KISS but without the make-up" line, and I
       agreed before pointing out "and that's a good line to take it to
       the bridge" being... not so good. Somewhere amidst all of this -
       again, maybe after, maybe as its own bit - a brief part of me
       showing off a BIONICLE version of Buzzworthy Bumblebee
       (toy-colours) Blackarachnia to somebody and pointing out the
       shade of purple used for the foot pieces, only for the figure to
       return to being an actual Transformers figure. I definitely woke
       up after all of this.
       After drifting off again, Bryn from Gavin and Stacey (or perhaps
       actually Rob Brydon) was complaining about a cottage hospital
       staffed by only one doctor or nurse. I was then there, and the
       resident was a teacher, with me then taking part in a lesson. I
       can't recall the exact work that I was having to do, but the
       teacher wound up asking me something and I pointed her to a
       teenaged Alex Horne (though possibly still with beard), only I
       couldn't remember his name (it wasn't meant to be Alex, though).
       After some connecting bit that I can't recall, I witnessed a
       weird version of Kermit allowing people into the room, with more
       people entering than could actually fit - I noted as such, and
       began keeping count. I was then in a classroom with others, and
       one classmate teased me over it, to which I made a comeback.
       Another guy - not sure if he was any particular classmate - set
       some idea up of him making some speech and me interjecting,
       before it switched to I think the reverse. A teacher (definitely
       not a real-life one) added more to this, suggesting I do some
       singing too. I almost started to do this skit, before cutting
       myself off with a gag about it. We were then all allowed to
       funnel into these two rooms, one for boys and one for girls,
       basically where the Kermit stuff had happening, to basically
       conclude our time at school. A female classmate - one who I went
       to Primary School and the main five years of Secondary School
       with - confronted me, commenting on me in appraising fashion and
       hugging me. I then went into the boys' room, which was just my
       parents' bedroom with my brother lounging on the bed. Out of the
       window, I could see classmates getting stuff out of the garage,
       beyond the gate/fence. On the TV, there was discussion of Golden
       Age comic stuff, and then Spider-Man, with talk of actors who've
       played him in live-action, including myself. This switched me to
       being in-costume as Spidey - or some other hero - outside of the
       actual school building/property. Not sure how it ended.
       Early morning January 8th - can't recall if I had one,
       possibly...
       Early morning January 9th - weird mix of Harry Potter and His
       Dark Materials. Not sure on the order, but at one point there
       was stuff with the Mulefa having been let into this big open
       plains world, with various human characters being surprised by
       the sight of them while they (the Mulefa) interacted with some
       non-sapient white ungulates. A major character - possibly played
       by Orlando Bloom - approached the Mulefa and offered them some
       food, which upon eating, made their hair (as they were now in
       human form) turn blue and resulted in them keeling over. I was
       then watching this on the sofa with an online friend (I think he
       wasn't as he actually looks), and I noticed he wasn't looking at
       the screen as that happened. I tried to rewind, only the TV
       played up on me, jumping forward and being imprecise in
       navigating. The other bit I recall is being Harry, starting at
       my childhood school and heading up a series of ladders, having
       to repeatedly avoid three giant spiders or ticks descending down
       (as though it was the same thing in numerous different styles),
       complete with some associated sentence to remember the pattern
       of movements. I wound up reaching some room, where I obtained
       the Philosopher's Stone (which I think I didn't take much more
       than casual interest in, as though I didn't understand its
       importance). Harry's parents also showed off a set of coins,
       which I think I also didn't quite understand, not least of all
       as one coin had two bare-chested women on. As myself rather than
       as Harry, I tried to identify if they were in the village where
       my maternal grandparents lived - they were standing in
       waist-high flood-water, and I think the image because real as I
       looked at it. Any further details escape me now.
