Or had a dream anyway, which is rare for me...

I can't remember much of it, which is usual. But remember standing in some house... or building, and I'd opened or moved something; suddenly screaming banshee like ghosts erupted all around me (much like the end of raiders of the lost arc, which I'd caught part of earlier in the weekend) and started scaring the life out of, almost literally. I suddenly woke up, around half 5 ish and managed a quiet whimper, but apart from that I couldn't really move for a moment or two. Wierd.

I blame my brain.

I had a dream about arguing with that Posh bloke from Monarch of the Glen about whether the word verisimilitude exists.

It does.
