My name is Gwen and I am recording my dreams for my own interest.

I had a very detailed story-like dream as an early side effect of Gabapentin.
I am in a well known computer store and decide to buy a cheap PC on display. When I get to the cashier, he tells me to choose a wrapping paper. The wrappings are all so childish so I end up choosing a dull pattern that doesn’t make a statement. In the meantime they are remotely downloading all my apps and data from my home PC. After that they bring the new PC to another computer store to 2make 4 backups. Strangely enough the purchase includes a small white dog which looks like part poodle. The dog is super excited and affectionate and when we go outside, it races around at tremendous speed. The cashier called it Hughie. While I was in the store I bumped into an old colleague – Joel Newman – who was looking for a cheap gift bag. When I showed him where the were they were all gone.
Next I am at home and the doggie is jumping all over the furniture. Then I am with Brian and the doggie in the car. I am sure he’s going to tell me I should have gone for a more expensive product. The one I got has a portrait shaped monitor and might be difficult to read. But first we go to a vet who recommended that we go to a place called Cat World and get insurance on the dog. The place is owned by a slim middle aged efficient woman with glasses and short grey hair and it is packed with clients. She tells us it will be at least 40 minutes until she can see us. While we are waiting a couple are demonstrating how to train your dog – we are fascinated by their movements and try to copy them. Eventually she sees us and asks us what the dog breed is. We tell her that the computer store said it was a Berkshire Terrier. She said there was no way they would just give away such an expensive breed and referred us to her brother’s vet around the corner. He was quite weird and suggested it was called a Pompoodle. By now it’s getting very late and Brian is falling asleep. We worry that we don’t have dog food, bed, etc. So more driving around to find the right places, confusing us because they are not obvious. All this time we have an excited doggie with us. No 5ending because I woke up!

Still on a low dose of Gabapentin my dream was much shorter but just as vivid.
I was about to enter a small tunnel at the base of a mountain. I was told that it led to the next life. Once there I would continue my real life and be unaware that I was dead.
Other dreams were more realistic concerning visiting relatives (who are now passed on) and informing them of my recent health problems. My aunty Ray was quite upset because she had ordered a dozen eggs but there were only 11 in the box. Little did she know that Brian had eaten one before we went into their back yard where they were sunning themselves! This I can relate to as it is more like my regular dreams.

Gabapentin side effects are subsiding and dreams have been less bizarre. Last night’s dream was all about Brian and his Bridge problems. They ranged from being unable to buy a bridge table in Walmart to him making errors while playing. Added to thar we have bought a book about duplicate bridge which discusses various conventions we’ve never heard of. Players arrive and Brian is confused because one table was empty. Brian starts to bid but we tell him he has to deal the cards first! Then one player storms out because of an argument with his opponent. At this point Brian feels very unwell but I urge him to continue. But he decides to end the session. I’m upset because I’ve prepared cakes and have used fine china and our best teapot.
in the second dream Brian was suffering pain in his shoulders and knees. I had an ointment for that but it had run out. All the pharmacies were closed so we went to the Kelowna General Hospital pharmacy. There was a huge lineup. Eventually we saw a pharmacist – a young girl. We explained about Brian and asked her if he needed a prescription for the ointment. She said it was an item needed by a lot of people and that they kept loads of it to give away at no cost. She brought him a special cloth bag containing the ointment. Then she set up a screen and to our amazement proceeded to show a video about his condition. We were so impressed and decided that we would never use another pharmacy again.

I’m now on the maximum dose of Gabapentin and the side effects have largely abated. But still having the dreams. They are quite vivid and I can recollect every detail on waking. I had a strange dream about befriending an autistic young man. My cousin had sent me a parcel of LPs that featured concerts in which my late brother’s jazz quartet performed. I gave them to my new friend along with a contraption that allowed him to play the LPs while listening privately. He then appeared with this machine in subsequent dreams about my son’s mother-in-law and her German friend where we went to a sort of nightclub. This was all mixed in with my having to buy a dress so that we could go to the club. Having lost significant weight in reality, my dream concerned getting a smaller sized dress. So my dreams are closely related to my real life.

I’ve been sent to a Middle East country, ostensibly to do some written translation, but in fact to do some spying. This dream is not as vivid so I can barely recall the details I know it involved being in danger. I imagine it had to do with the daily news of the Iran war.

We invited new neighbours over and decided to teach them Bridge. I did the teaching but Brian intervened several times. The husband caught on right away but the wife couldn’t even put her suits together. She was combining clubs and spades. It was quite enjoyable to see how quickly the husband (also named Brian) was able to bid correctly and understand that he had to communicate with his partner about his hand. We taught him Stayman and requirements for opening 1 No Trump and 2 No Trump. He opened 2 hearts in one game so I had to tell him that that was a weak bid as he had 23 points, and his bid indicated a weak hand. I haven’t played Bridge in over a year so am surprised I could teach it in my dreams! Probably dreamt it as Brian was hosting Bridge last night.

Not as vivid as I had trouble recollecting it. We were running some type of business that had a reception desk. The girl on the reception desk was not running it well. It involved keeping a guest room where there was a big television screen. You could not pull up the right item without pressing on the remote batteries. It kept switching back to a local screen. The receptionist was not keeping the room tidy but insisted that she was. She took time off and we followed her. Although she said she was sick, we saw her with her boyfriend. We were expecting important business directors to inspect our business. When they came in we tried to hide the screen problems and the very untidy guest room with throw up on the bed. A third party came in and fixed the remote. The receptionist turned out to be someone else entirely.and was trying to ruin our business.

An old friend – Karen – asked us to attend a concert. The tickets were $78 but I had loads of cash in my purse so I gave her lots of money and she gave me a $250 note as change. We had terrible seats and I was behind a bookcase so I couldn’t see the stage. I knocked it down. When we got out I was trying to buy something with the $250 note. The merchant refused it because it was a Nova Scotia note. I went to the Bank of Nova Scotia to get cash for it but they also refused it. Then I got an idea. We went to the airport to find people who were flying to Nova Scotia. Surely they would appreciate having local currency. By this time the note was badly torn and fixed with plastic tape. I think someone accepted but the dream ended.

Brian invited a few people to our house for 6:00 p.m. We had double doors. If someone parked on the right they would use the right hand door. Margaret Timuss was there and was handing iout appetizers. I insisted she go home but she said she was glad to be there because when she first met her husband he was interesting but now he was boring! The first person to arrive was my first boyfriend from when I was 16 – David Harris. He had dumped me. I knew that he had had a difficult life as an alcoholic. (In reality he became a MD and was not an alcoholic). When Brian asked him what he would like to drink he asked for a soda. Another couple came whose names I couldn’t remember. I was embarrassed because I couldn’t introduce them. David seemed to be involved in a conversation with people who were sitting beside him and I felt relieved. I told Brian that I had been in love with him. Another couple that we know- Homa and Ebby – arrived very late and sat quietly in a corner. As they are normally very talkative I asked them if they were OK. They looked very upset. When Brian asked if everyone would like pizza, David got up and left. I felt very disappointed that he didn’t talk to me as I showed him out the door.
