Very Strange Dream

I had a very strange dream the other night. It wasn't a bad dream, it wasn't a scary dream, it was just a little bit odd. You know how dreams can be comforting or disturbing, well this one was both.

It was that point in the night where you wake up knowing its morning but want to go back to sleep. As it was the weekend I was able to go back to sleep knowing that I didn't have much to do that day. So in that second wave of sleep I had the most vivid dream, as I always do. The most vivid and memorable dreams fall in that second wave of sleep.

What was the dream I had then? Well, let me elaborate. The dream started with me finding out I was pregnant, not bad, it happens. So when I had the baby, my fiance, the baby and me were still in his room in his parents house. Not bad, well his room is the smallest in the house and there is barely enough room for the two of us. So when there were three in my dream it was very tight. The baby grew, but no-one else did, and the dream ended when my baby was about 5 years old.

So what, you may ask, was strange about that? Firstly, we both decided that we would not have a baby until we had our own home. Secondly, the rest of the family didn't get any older so it ended with my baby being older than his youngest nephew. AND Finally, I have this feeling inside that it was a vision of my baby, my son. Beautiful rosy cheeks, gorgeous dark brown ringlets, big brown eyes, perfect in every way. I heard his voice, what a wonderful voice it was too, ringing and clear, not sharp, the voice of an angel.

Sorry if this seems odd to you but it was so real even though time was a bit off. I am shocked at myself but I just have this belief deep down that it was my future son.

Film Review: Shrek the Third

This is the third and apparently final installment of the Shrek films. Built up beyond belief on the back of the previous two. If it was going to live up to the Shrek name it had to be good. A tough task by all accounts.

The cast of Shrek returned to tell us the next part of the Shrek and Fiona story. Characters that made a welcome return included, the Gingerbread Man, the three blind mice, Prince Charming and many more. Plus it introduced Art voiced by none other than Justin Timberlake (put the torches and pitchforks down please).

So how does this one shape up? Can this final installment be everything that we hoped it would? Well to tell you the truth I was disappointed, not surprisingly, but I was. The story was good, but I can see children getting bored easily as there was no where near as much "action" as there was in the other two. This film had a moral and important message, however I don't really think that this was the sphere to tell it.

Musically the first two were fantastic, the music within them was used to perfection. This installment was not up to standard. In the first two the music was so memorable, but this didn't seem to have anywhere near the caliber of the other two.

Overall as a children's film it fulfilled its role to a good degree. As a family film it was OK but it was trying to hard to have "adult" parts within it. As the final installment, it completes the story quite well. If you enjoyed the other ones then I suggest you watch it for completeness but I give you this warning IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TWO!!

I'd give it a 7/10
