Dreaming About Cheddar..

..and I don't mean the cheese, I mean the PLACE called Cheddar which is where the Cheddar Gorge is situated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheddar In my dream it involved being in a place I used to work in for over 3 years, called Preston in Lancashire, just a train ride away from where I lived in Layton, Blackpool. I was lost a lot in this dream even though I am familiar with Preston itself. At one point I was following a woman unfamiliar to me up some concrete steps to a bus station. Now, Preston does have a bus station but I don't remember any steps like these. Anyway, before all that I had been (overnight) in some sort of club and got humiliated in some way but I'm not sure how. An acquaintance of mine from school, called Marjorie Hulme saw me later and told me that she was humiliated in the same place as she was laughed at whilst reading a poem. Weird. Now, the woman at the bus station told me she was going to CHEDDAR. Quite adamant that I should go too but I refused, even though I knew I was about to be "lost" there in Preston. Sure enough, after refusing to go to Cheddar I went out into the streets and did indeed get lost. At one point I saw a horse on the pavement outside a house and exclaimed, "The people in Preston are very strange" and, at that point Marjorie appeared whilst I was at a pedestrian crossing. She told me the story about her poem-reading and told me something another person had said earlier, that I needed to head for "that big hill in the distance." So I did. Whilst I was walking there (panicking) I went through an alleyway where a load of uniformed officers were marching. A guy with a blue uniform on (Air Force I think) turned round and written in large letters at the bottom of his jacket was the word, CARLISLE, which, of course is where I live now. Then I woke up, sweating. I know being lost in a dream can mean being lost in real life but I have never experienced anything like it, especially the Cheddar bit. Why on earth would someone want me to go to Cheddar? I'd not eaten any cheese either which would explain the dream if I had done. Eating cheese before bed can make a person dream - apparently!
