Meaning? This summer's edition of @iambapoet.com has already pulled in roughly the same number of page views I'd expect by the end of the first WEEK of a new wave! Not only is this very impressive, it's also very exciting. Thank you to everyone who's visited, read, listened and shared ... so far.

Well the film the kids were watching as the protagonist drifts off was a plane disaster - then had to change to a train disaster - but the thoughts as he falls asleep are all very unreal.

To be honest Paul, the whole thing was set on a plane not a train and I changed it following the awful news yesterday.

It’s the glancing thoughts that I don’t know I’ve thought that fill mine! Thanks for reading David!

Hopefully not too nightmarish! I have a fascination with trying to work out why I dreamt what I dreamt - the lengths my brain goes to to sort it all out while I sleep.
