Alarming U2/House ratio

I’m having more House dreams than U2 ones recently, although I’m better at remembering the U2 ones.

House

  1. I’m sitting on the couch watching a new House episode. My mother says that House is going to put something green on his bread and eat it and that I should know what that green stuff is. I think “Oh no!!! He’s going back on vicodin! He’s going to disguise it as something green and put it on his bread! Don’t do it House!”. House is in the meantime walking from the elevators through the hallway when a woman says “Hi House” to him. House thinks “Oh no” and the woman asks if House would diagnose her. House feels her neck and says that she is too thin (that’s the diagnosis). The woman replies that House is good looking. That comment confirmed my beliefs that House was back on vicodin. 2 May 2010
  2. House walks into a room full of medical students and picks 2 for his new team: a woman with short hair and a short man. House then asks if somebody “plays keys”. One of the students is also a music teacher, but he doesn’t play keys very well. House and the music teacher leave the room and immediately see a piano. The student says that he can play a little and plays a little on the piano. House goes after him and plays something geniously. He says very loud (so the students in the other room can hear him) “You’ve got 10 minutes left.” He goes to his office and looks boredly around him.  2 May 2010
  3. Lucas tells House that he is going to marry Cuddy. 16 May 2010
  4. Cuddy owns a zoo and is standing on some big white rocks. She bought things when she could have gotten them free and someone is criticising her because of that. There’s also a photographer making pictures of the zoo. 21 May 2010
  5. Cuddy gives House a massage :D 26 May 2010
  6. House and Cuddy are together, but they don’t tell anyone. 1 June 2010
  7. House thanks Wilson (No idea for what any more…) 15 June 2010
  8. I was playing a strange House themed crossword puzzle where you also had to scratch a lot :S 15 June 2010
  9. I was watching the first 20 minutes of 7×01!!! I was gasping a lot. It started with Cuddy being in House’s house, but that’s all I remember. 21 July 2010
  10. House and Cuddy were in Cuddy’s new place and Rachel was there too. Cuddy had picked Rachel up from kindergarten and she had been teased by an older boy. Cuddy was upset and didn’t understand why, because Rachel is very sweet. When Cuddy was out of the room House was with Rachel and there was some water dripping from the floor above onto Rachel’s jacket and House had an epiphany. Rachel was teased because Rachel’s jacket smelled of ‘old water’ (it truly made a lot of sense in my dream, I was in awe of House’s brilliance). House then said  “Boys don’t lie.” to Rachel.
    The next moment House, Cuddy and Rachel are on a plane and House and Cuddy are discussing holiday plans. Rachel then said “Teenage boys don’t lie.” House was surprised and happy and from then on only paying attention to Rachel.  21 July 2010
  11. I’m watching a new House episode and the intro was new, but didn’t have any music under it which was strange. Alvie was also in it and something with a hotel. 28 July 2010
  12. There are 2 more people on House’s team (British?). Chase is the one who finds the answer to the diagnoses and they all go to a museum afterwards. 18 Ausgust 2010
  13. I’m listening to House playing Georgia On My Mind in my dream. 25 Ausgust 2010
  14. House, building, wounded??? 28 August 2010
  15. I see somebody with shoes with a picture of House and Wilson on it and I want them!!! 31 August 2010
  16. House and Cuddy are dating, but House says that Cuddy needs to be re-initialised before he moves in with her (?!). Well when Cuddy is re-initialised she doesn’t know House any more. House realises he might have made a mistake and then he hears the doorbell. He knows it is himself who is going to ask Cuddy to re-initialise herself. Somebody else is going to open the door and House tackles him. Everything is then back to normal. (Doesn’t make much sense does it?) 3 September 2010
  17. Something with House and Cuddy. All I can remember is what they were wearing. (If I find the episode I’ll post a picture) 12 September 2010

U2

  1. I’m in Paris for the U2 concert, and when I get out of the underground I see Madame Tussauds. I go in there and I find Bono there :) 17 May 2010
  2. Somebody is selling a bass guitar that looks very much like one from Adam. It isn’t, because it is very bendable. 20 May 2010
  3. Bono wins an stage in the Giro d’Italia. (there actually was someone called Bono in the Tour de France, but in this dream it was the real Bono cycling) 23 May 2010
  4. I’m going shopping and when I come back home somebody on msn tells me that U2 were in Amsterdam and that I’ve now missed them :( 19 August 2010
  5. I’m backstage at a U2 concert and I meet U2 there when they are finished :) Ali is also there. 25 August 2010
  6. I’m at the U2 concert in Brussel (23 September) and during I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight Larry is playing trumpet. I and the whole crowd absolutely love it! 12 September 2010

Fry & Laurie

  1. There are 3 Dutch people in the Q.I. audience and one of them is going to play piano. 7 May 2010
  2. Stephen Fry participates in the Dutch elections. 26 May 2010
  3. There are Hugh Laurie scenes on all tv channels :) 28 May 2010
  4. I’m watching a new ABOFAL sketch 28 May 2010
  5. Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are hosting a show. Stephen does most of the talking and he gives the crowd (+- 50 people) the assignment that they have to draw something. Stephen walks around and admires everyone’s drawings :) One person had to do some accounting and he gets something from Stephen at the end. I’m quite jealous of that. Hugh was all the time also drawing something and at the end they say that if they had some more time they would have done sketches. I wished they hadn’t said that, because would have liked seeing sketches better than drawing. 15 August 2010

Dream, dreams and some more dreams

U2 dream:
Brilliant! I started writing this on Wednesday and a day later I had another U2 dream! :D

There was a small car and I knew that U2 was in that car so I got in. I looked  happy, but then Larry walks to the car and says that I’m sitting on his chair. I had not thought of that and I wonder how I should make room. I say to Larry that he could use me as a chair. I meant it more as a joke, but Larry takes it seriously and sits on me XD How many people can say that Larry Mullen Jr. used them as a chair?!!! Hahaha XD Now we’re about to start driving and I realise that Larry is not wearing a safety belt, because I’m using the one from the chair… So I use my arms as a safety belt :P It was GREAT to be Larry’s chair and safety belt!!! 28 January 2010

[H]OUSE dreams:
So, here are all my [H]ouse dreams. Most of them are very random and are not that interesting… You can guess from the dates when I became a true House fan and was catching up with 9 more episodes that were already aired in America. Haha I watched them all in 3 days. On the second day I watched Under My Skin which made me very happy and I wondered if I should watch another one (it was already late). I did watch the next one which was not a very good idea… The season finale shocked me! I lay awake for a long time thinking about it, while I could have slept soundly after seeing Under My Skin…

My Favourites: 1, 6, 7, 8, 15, 19, 22, 29

  1. Cuddy hurt her back and can’t move. House is very concerned and says that she has to be moved, but most people disagree with him. He wants to lift her up himself, but he can’t because of his leg. In the end Wilson carries Cuddy to a hospital bed. Cuddy is very grateful to Wilson, while it actually was House’s idea. House looks a little worried, but tries to cheer Cuddy up (he has bought a puppy and a pony for Cuddy XD) 15 February 2009
    Haha it was so incredibly adorable! :)
  2. House is in prison, but gets released (or escapes, not sure). He leaves his cell, but goes back because he forgot his orange juice. When he is back and has the orange juice a guard appears who points his gun at House. Stacey is now also in the cell and House is protecting her by standing in front of her. The guard shoots House in his leg and leaves. House and Stacey now leave the cell, House now limping. They have half an hour to get away from the grounds. They come across a farm and they’re making notes in case they get a quiz about where they’ve been. They now reach the jail again and tell another guard that they’ve been at the farm. The guy doesn’t believe them so they show the notes they’ve taken and a postguard that they bought at a bakery. The guard is still not very convinced, but a doctor is and tells House that he shall now put him in the queue for medical help (his leg still hurts from the wound) 20 February 2009
  3. House has a dog and he shows it to some children at kindergarten :P 30 March 2009
  4. House and Cuddy are having a conversation on the stairs in the hospital.   20 April 2009
  5. I’m a cashiere in a supermarket and House wants to walk past me without paying. He does come back however. He has vicodin, chips and more in his shopping cart. He has not enough money to pay for everything so he only wants to buy the vicodin. He gives me a lot of change money and it takes me ages to count it. Now I suddenly realise that this is House, so I buy some cookies for him :P 29 June 2009
  6. House and Cuddy are a couple!!!! They are having a holiday and they’re at a nice house in a forrest (with a pool). And… Cuddy is pregnant! She needs to go to the hospital. House is hysterical and his hair is standing in the most awkward angles…  15 September 2009
  7. I was looking for a video on YouTube where House was playing Cuddy’s Serenade. I watch a video where House is playing the song, but suddenly it shows a video from future episodes that I hadn’t seen yet. It showed the wedding between House and Cuddy and I was really upset, because I didn’t want any spoilers. 29 September 2009
  8. I’m in a helicopter with House and I’m talking about the fact that I didn’t get tickets for the U2 concert in Paris. I somehow think it was his fault (?) and I’ve written him about 50 letters because of that. He had replied at last with a letter and I guess that it said that I should come to the helicopter. He looked me in the eyes and gave me tickets for all the U2 concerts!!! :D When my first shock was over and I begin to worry about how I’m going to get to all of the concerts, he says to me that the helicopter will always bring me! :D 19 October 2009
  9. House gets (medical) advice from a woman who hasn’t studied Medicine, but House does listen.
    (I really can’t read what else I’ve written down. It says: “From aduraïne” or something like that which doesn’t make sense in any language) 19 October 2009
  10. House says: “There is a woman I love”. I know that he means Cuddy, so I’m very very happy to hear him say that! :) 23 October 2009
  11. House drinks a lot of water. Liters and liters. 24 October 2009
  12. House is a teacher and gives away cards if you give a good answer. I see one of the cards and it has a picture of Bertie Wooster’s duck on it! I’m now paying more attention, because I want Wooster’s duck! :P 24 October 2009
  13. House and a 19 year old girl are telling jokes to each other. 24 October 2009
  14. I walk with Hugh Laurie through the University of Amsterdam and we talk about House.  I ask him something something about House’s cane, but he needs to go to the toilet so I decide to go somewhere else.  28 October 2009
  15. I’m at a train station sitting on the ground waiting for the floating train (there was no train rails, so naturally the train floated). When I’m in the train the person next to me tells me that there will be no season 7 of House. I become grumpy, because I want more seasons. I look up and see House and Cuddy sitting opposite of me on large blue thrones. They’re smiling at me (they heard my conversation) and I started to laugh very loudly. 28 October 2009
  16. I’m getting a tour around the set (in a bus) and on one of the outside walls is the text “House blooper” followed by a time. I understand that that’s when the blooper happened, but why it’s written on a wall remains a mystery. (The guide saw it too, but could not explain it…) 28 October 2009
  17. A man says that he has studied medicine, but he has to do a test, because the authorities don’t believe him. He asks House for help and House does help him :) House learns the man how to multiplicate numbers, which the man could not do XD The test takes place outside and House is watching it. The man gets the question: “What is 0×6?” and the man cheerfully answers “zero” while he looks at House.  31 October 2009
  18. 2 House dreams??? I can’t remember more :( 1 November 2009
  19. House is in Cuddy’s office and Cuddy is angry with him. The reason was that House had ruined Cuddy’s shoes during Where The Streets Have No Name. Cuddy fired House which I thought was very reasonable since House ruined the shoes during WTSHNN (Cuddy however thought the ruined bit was more important :P) So Cuddy had fired House, but she now said to him that she was going to hire him back, because ‘they’ made her do that. The ‘they’ included Wilson. A moment later they’re good friends again and House, Wilson and Cuddy are going to a 80′s party ;) They had to bring dates and they were going to find a date for one of the others, so Wilson was going to find a date for Cuddy, Cuddy for House and House for Wilson. It all ended with House and Cuddy being each others date which made me as a Huddy fan very happy! And House and Cuddy looked happy too! :D 3 November 2009
  20. House walks from his spaceship to Cuddy’s house to tell her that she has to hurry up, because they needed to go somewhere. 3 November 2009
  21. Foreman says to House in a mysterious voice that someone is going to die. 13, who was also in the room suddenly stops breathing! :O 8 November 2009
  22. Chase and Cameron are looking for diseases under a microscope, but they can’t find any (I don’t know a lot about medicine, but I think that one of the reasons they couldn’t find what they were looking for,  was that they kept putting tomato sauce on the glass of the microscope so they couldn’t see a thing… :P) Chase suggests that they should just ask the patient. Cameron doubts if the patient will tell the truth, but Chase says: “In 40% of the cases they’re not speaking the truth.” Chase tries to prove his theory, by asking the lady behind the desk “Are you pregnant?” The lady answered “No” and Cameron now says “Ah yes, I see!” I didn’t get it.  15 November 2009
  23. I’m in a supermarket and I see House. I ask if he got a job for me and he says that I could put stickers on all the products… so I put stickers on everything while House was watching if I did it right… 15 November 2009
  24. It’s season 4 again and House needs to hire a new team. There were 5 people left. I remember Amber, Taub, 13, an older guy and someone from Belgium. House got into an elevator and so did I. He said to the rest that they shouldn’t follow him, but I saw that he had his fingers crossed, so he did want them to follow them (it was a test!). We went to the roof and only 3 of the 5 also went there (Amber, Taub and the guy from Belgium). House is saying something to them, but the guy from Belgium is looking in another direction, so he can forget his place in the team.  18 November 2009
  25. Square blocks and House. 20 November 2009
    ??? That’s all what I’ve written down and I can’t make any more of it…
  26. I’m making a documentary about a duck and whilst I’m filming the duck it somehow reminds me of House. 21 November 2009
  27. House????? D’oh I can’t remember more! 27 November 2009
  28. I woke up and thought: “Known Unknowns!!!” I knew I dreamt about House, but it had nothing to do with Known Unknowns… The only thing I could remember was that House said “What else?” repeatedly in my dream. 28 November 2009
  29. I was thinking about House and U2 in my dream and suddenly I thought Wait a second!! Didn’t U2 show House on the screen during their concerts? I wasn’t certain, so I typed “U2 House MD” in Google images and found my own pictures! I clicked on one of them and saw House (wearing his red shirt) on the screens! I thought Why can’t I remember this?!! but then I have a flashback and am in the Amsterdam Arena again :D U2 are playing a song and I now see a younger Hugh Laurie on the screens :) 2 December 2009
  30. Wilson is in the hospital walking around and saving all the patients he meets. He was brilliant. I thought If only Amber could have been here now, I’m sure he would have saved her. As I thought that he has a vision of Amber and breaks down. (poor Wilson!)  3 December 2009
  31. House, Wilson, Cuddy and a patient of House are sitting outside round a table. The patient has to eat cherries for medical reasons and House and Wilson are also eating them. 3 December 2009
  32. House is babysitting Rachel although it’s a boy in my dream and called Sien :S Cuddy is grateful when she comes back. She’s holding a dinner party and actually wants House to stay (a bit like the Unfaithful episode). Wilson is also there and House says goodbye to Sien (it was really to adorable for words) 9 December 2009
  33. I had a ticket for a train, but it wasn’t ‘working’ when I scanned it… I go to the desk and Wilson is there! He understands the problem and gives me a new ticket. I do have to answer some questions first. He first asks me things like my name and birthday and as I answer the questions he scribbles the answers on the ticket. He also asks me: “When did you start reading Harry Potter?”. I don’t see what that has got to do with anything, but because he asked so nicely I rack my brain to get the right answer. When he gives me the ticket with a lot of text scribbled on it I see House walking towards him. I stand still, but when House looks at me I don’t dare to stay, so I walk towards the train. 13 December 2009

Fry & Laurie dreams
The first dream is actually the first entry in my dream diary!!! I’m rather proud of it :) (the diary :P) My handwriting is usually very bad and it also has some very bad drawings in it, but otherwise it’s lovely :P Haha without it, I would have forgotten my crazy dream about 10 trolls in an elevator! XD

My Favourites: 3, 7 and of course 8 :D

  1. I’m buying ‘A Bit Of Fry And Laurie’ dvds in a supermarket. It are 4 dvds and it costs 30 euros. When I’ve paid I discover that they are season 2 part 3 instead of the season 1 part 3 I wanted to buy. I go back to the place where I found the dvds (an umbrella stand) but they don’t have season 1 part 3… 23 December 2008
  2. Hugh en Stephen are singing a song. When they finished they said: “And now Anna is going to do some standup comedy for you!” I thought: What?! I can’t do standup comdedy!!! But I couldn’t say no to Stephen en Hugh, so I went up the stage and was silent for a minute. I was very busy thinking of something extremely funny, but I couldn’t think of anything. Then I think that I’ve been silent for long enough and really have to say something so I say: “Eh, yesterday I was playing scrabble… and I played it with a boy… and he made the word ‘tutu’. ” It stays incredibly silent in the room, but then one man starts laughing hysterically…
    23 December 2008
  3. Stephen Fry comments on my blog that he thought it was a brilliant idea to put all my U2 dreams on one page :) (And so I did! :P) 10 September 2009
  4. I walk with Hugh Laurie through the University of Amsterdam and we talk about House.  I ask him something something about House’s cane, but he needs to go to the toilet so I decide to go somewhere else.  28 October 2009
  5. There will be an ‘A Bit Of Fry And Laurie’ tour in 2025 2 November 2009
  6. Hugh Laurie tells me that he’s a fan of Monty Python and is about to meet Eric Idle. 9 November 2009
  7. I was thinking about House and U2 in my dream and suddenly I thought Wait a second!! Didn’t U2 show House on the screen during their concerts? I wasn’t certain, so I typed “U2 House MD” in Google images and found my own pictures! I clicked on one of them and saw House (wearing his red shirt) on the screens! I thought Why can’t I remember this?!! but than I have a flashback and am in the Amsterdam Arena again :D U2 are playing a song and I now see a younger Hugh Laurie on the screens :) 2 December 2009
  8. I was in a building (called ‘C’) and there was going to be a U2 quiz there. Anyone was allowed to join, so I  happily joined the other 20 contestants. Now we had to wait for the presenters to arrive. The presenters of the quiz were Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie!!! :D The quiz started, but there were no questions about U2 in it. There were questions like: In which of these 5 videos acts Jeeves like John Cleese? (Stephen Fry is Jeeves in the series Jeeves and Wooster) I thought: “I should know this! I’ve seen Jeeves and Wooster, I know John Cleese and I have seen those 5 videos before on YouTube!” I answered that it was the 4th video, but I had it wrong! I somehow managed to survive this round and made it all the way to the semi-final. In that round you had to cook something. You were in a team and we decided to make spaghetti with a sauce. Another team was making tea with butter and for some reason I decided to help the other team (also big U2 fans). I successfully made tea, sliced the butter, put the butter in the tea and the only thing that remained to be done was to pour the tea into a cup. I tried to do it very carefully, but somehow I spilled everything! The man who I was helping watched me in despair and managed to say “We appreciate that you tried to help us.” I knew however that he was thinking that I wasted their precious time. I felt sorry for them and returned to my own team. The spaghetti looked OK, but the sauce was a disaster. It was fine until we added another ingredient to it and we had to make the sauce all over again. The time was now almost up and in the last minute we just added all the ingredients to the spaghetti in the hope that we would get some points. The spaghetti looked rather funny (it looked more like a salad bowl than spaghetti), so we hoped that Stephen and Hugh would give us points for that. They didn’t. At least not enough points for us to go to the final. I wasn’t that disappointed not to be in the final, because Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were doing sketches while the ones in the final had other things to do. I don’t remember a lot from the sketches, but I do know they were very funny! 12 December 2009
    'My' Stephen Fry tweet!!! :D
  9. I’m in the Q.I. audience and I’ve made a banner with “GO STEPHEN!” on it :P 19 December 2009
  10. Fry and Laurie, wizards, train??? 28 December 2009
  11. Stephen Fry doesn’t want compliments about the way he acted Jeeves 17 Januari 2010

U2 Quiz! (3 Dreams)

EDIT: The first dream wasn’t a dream. I’m told. By Stephen Fry, and he (if anyone) should know.

'My' Stephen Fry tweet!!! :D

:D

I had a lovely U2 dream today. It did not had a lot of U2 in it, but it was lovely anyway…

I was in a building (called ‘C’) and there was going to be a U2 quiz there. Anyone was allowed to join, so I  happily joined the other 20 contestants. Now we had to wait for the presenters to arrive. The presenters of the quiz were Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie!!! :D The quiz started, but there were no questions about U2 in it. There were questions like: In which of these 5 videos acts Jeeves like John Cleese? (Stephen Fry is Jeeves in the series Jeeves and Wooster) I thought: “I should know this! I’ve seen Jeeves and Wooster, I know John Cleese and I have seen those 5 videos before on YouTube!” I answered that it was the 4th video, but I had it wrong! I somehow managed to survive this round and made it all the way to the semi-final. In that round you had to cook something. You were put in a team and my team decided to make spaghetti with a sauce. Another team was making tea with butter and for some reason I decided to help the other team (also big U2 fans). I successfully made tea, sliced the butter, put the butter in the tea and the only thing that remained to be done was to pour the tea into a cup. I tried to do it very carefully, but somehow I spilled everything! The man who I was helping watched me in despair and managed to say “We appreciate that you tried to help us.” I knew however that he was thinking that I wasted their precious time. I felt sorry for them and returned to my own team. The spaghetti looked OK, but the sauce was a disaster.

The spaghetti looked rather funny (it looked more like a salad bowl than spaghetti), so we hoped that Stephen and Hugh would give us points for that. They didn’t. At least not enough points for us to go to the final. I wasn’t that disappointed not to be in the final, because Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were doing sketches while the ones in the final had other things to do. We were sitting on the floor and watching the sketches. I don’t remember a lot from them, but I do know they were very funny! So funny that I was screaming out with laughter!

I had another (shorter) U2 dream today:

@U2 was holding a contest were you could win U2 tickets for any show you wanted! You had to sent in the robot you had designed. I thought this was very unfair, because I could not join… There were a few days left to sent in your robot design and I doubted whether I should try to design a robot. I decided not to design a robot and instead think about how lovely it would be if I could win tickets for a U2 concert…

And lastly a dream from yesterday:

I’m in a room with Edge and a couple of other people and we’re sitting round a table. The walls are the same colour as in my own room, but there are other U2 clippings and posters on the wall. I show Edge some photos and he listens very attentively. I also have a photo of U2 where they are about 20 years old. I don’t know how I got that photo, because I’ve never seen it before and it’s definitely not taken by me, because I would have been -10 years old. I remember how Adam looked on that photograph, because he had a little beard which looked rather silly. :P
