Dream of work and hospitals...

My manager Chris had organised some sort of trip up to Scotland as some team building exercise or something. I went with maybe 5 other people and Chris. There was a problem with my packing and I forgot to pack pjs or enough undies for the whole week we were to be away.

On the first day there we had to cycle round some course. I set my bike up to fit and then I had a brief chat with Chris and stepped on my pedal and cycled off and when I sat on the seat I realised it was higher than I had put it. Someone had moved it while I'd been talking to Chris. Chris started telling me off for not paying attention - this was all part of the exercise it seemed. I got annoyed with it all and just cycled off down the road.

Strangely I saw some woman I apparently knew and she helped me stop and get off the damned bike. I propped it up against the wall of her house and went in to visit. She was just dishing up dinner to her family and insisted I join her. Only she put things on my plate that I'm allergic to. Then Mum appeared and ate the things I didn't - despite the fact that she's also allergic to eggs. Mum and I then got up to leave and things turned a little sour.

For some reason Mum had no shoes on and she stood outside this woman's front door on a terracotta/clay pipe about 6 inches in diameter that ran across this woman's yard. She balanced on the pipe for several minutes then fell flat on the floor and started to have convulsions. It was a horrible sight. Her arms and legs flailing uncontrollably. I went to her and asked her what was up. She muttered something about potassium poisoning. I then rang 999 on my mobile and asked them to hurry up because Mum seemed to be having a fit, her breathing was all raspy and she seemed somewhat delirious.

So the next thing I know I'm being chased away by this horrible family. I manage to escape from them and phone the hospital asking where Mum is and what ward will I find her in. The female nurse who answered the phone said "oh, are you phoning about the deceased?" "what? deceased? I want to know where Mrs L**** E**** is, what ward she's on and what her condition is - I wasn't expecting to be told like this of her death!" And it turned out that the nurse had been talking about a male patient and Mum was alive. I didn't get to find out what ward she was on or how she was though because that's when I woke up.

ETA:
I've remembered that the hospital was in Aberdeen and they were talking about flying a doctor from one of the Scottish islands by helicopter to treat Mum.

Second sickness dream

Strange dreams again this morning.

I'm not sure how it started but something or someone or a group of things/people were after me. Well perhaps not just me, but I'm not sure that anyone else really listened or paid attention to me. I remember running through buildings trying to get away from whatever it was or hide. Then I found myself in Gran's bedroom with no escape so I thought I'd hide under the bed, only I couldn't get completely under.

The door opened and I was still only half under the bed. By this time I was trying to get out so that I could fight/run. But I was trapped. My aunt came through the door. Mum's twin sister. She asked me why I was trying to hide. I couldn't really explain it.

Then I woke up.
