• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

Of all the things you choose in life, you don't get to choose what your nightmares are. You don't pick them; they pick you.

That sounds wise.....
John Irving is generally one of the wisest humans on the planet - in my opinion.

I mean we all have the naked the day of the test dream.

Funnily enough, I've never had the naked day of the test dream.

The most frequent nightmare that came up in a discussion with colleagues recently is what we call the Dirty Toilets Nightmare. I don't know if it's just a nursing thing, but every single one of us described a similar thing on a recurring basis - desperate for the loo, but the only places to be found are filthy, flooded, overflowing, with no handwashing facilities, no paper, no locks, etc

Apparently even dogs have the same nightmares as all of us.
Interesting about dogs - how do we know that?

Dreams and goals tho are individual.
Yep, absolutely.
