I had the distinct feeling I was at home, but the visuals in the dream had me located at my mums house. It was late at night, around 11.30pm. Em and I were watching something on TV. Something caught my eye out the window &#8211; it was an ice cream van. A very modern one &#8211; quite posh (for an ice cream van!). A person had just been served and was walking away from the van.<\/p>\n<p \/>I popped my head out the front door and asked the man how much longer he&#8217;d be around. &#8220;Oh, for a while yet&#8221; he said. I thought &#8220;great&#8221; and continued watching the TV. Once I was ready to get an ice cream, I thought I&#8217;d better check he was still outside. I asked him another question, which I can&#8217;t remember now, then said &#8220;I&#8217;ll just be a minute&#8221;. I&#8217;d only been in a t-shirt and knickers so needed to get some trousers on before heading outside. <\/p>\n<p \/>I quickly go to the bedroom, get some trousers on and walk out the door to the van. As I&#8217;m doing this, the man pulls down the shutter to the van, starts the engine and starts to drive off. I&#8217;m calling out saying &#8220;Wait! I&#8217;m coming to buy something now!&#8221; He says &#8220;Too late. I waited long enough. I&#8217;m off&#8221;. I just stood there dumbfounded, watching him drive off &#8211; disappointed. Damn you ice cream man!!<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"posterous_download_image\" src=\"\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a dream in the early hours of this morning.
