Thankfully, this isn't related to my very infrequent yet terrifying bouts of sleep paralysis. But recently, I've been having the most vivid and rememberable dreams. In the most recent one, I find myself on my bed looking at my ceiling which is swarmed with locusts. In the centre, there is an enormous "Queen Locust" with extraordinary blue and purple wings. A television blares in the corner of the room with a rolling news ticker indicating locations around Ireland that are under siege from this locust plague.

It's not an entirely unpleasant dream, and doesn't rank at all with the dreams that Paul of In Fact, Ah has been having, nor as nightmarish as Sinead's dream in which I made an appearance.

But still, I think I need to lay off the dairy products before I go to bed in future.
