I have always had really vivid colourful and confusing dreams. I sometimes find it hard to tell the difference between what's real and what I've seen when I'm sleeping. When I was little I was sure I had seen a hot air balloon in the shape of Riff Raffs head on my garage roof and no-one could convince me otherwise. I'm still not convinced it wasn't really there. Then there was the time I didn't speak to my friend Jenny for three days because I dreamt I had restyled her pubic hair, it was awkward. And there was the time I was annoyed with my mum for not remembering me taking her to the opera and then an expensive dinner (didn’t happen).
I called this project Digestive Movement because I once had a very nice lady friend who was a colonic irrigationist. She told me that my bright, colourful dreams were nothing more than my dinner moving through my system whilst I slept.
I have been collecting my dreams for the last 9 years. I will post a dream whenever I can and illustrate the part of it that most stays with me when I wake up.

Every time I hear that noise I know that a man in a white horse costume will jump down three theater tiers. He will lie with his neck twisted and his behind in the air in a red velvet theater box. There is a feeling of impending doom in the air. The seats are full. Sitting in a row of theater seats (with people placed between them) are seven Spanish looking men with black, curly hair. Manu is there. I recognize all the men. The faces of these men turn a bright white. They say they have caught a deadly virus three days prior and are now all going to die. They explain we are going to die too. I have died temporarily. We all wake up in unison and clap. We are looking at an empty stage. There are rugby players wearing cooking aprons and showing their bare bottoms whilst barbecuing sausages on the grass. I see a small black child paying for a parking ticket at a machine. Behind her a fat, short, black security guard walks. He lies on the ground holding a rifle and shoots the child through the heart. I run away with tears streaming down my face. The part of the car park where I am is full of police. They ask everyone to get into two queues: witnesses and non-witnesses. I am hysterical and frightened. I walk up to a policeman and I'm crying out to him, "What if I saw? What if I saw?" We walk through back passages and he asks me to explain what I saw. The murderer who is a security guard walks past and I shout, "That's him!" The guard says he knows my face and he'll break out of the cell and kill me. There is a kind lady policeman and she takes me to her house. A train track passes through her tiny garden filled with cockroaches of all different shapes, colours, and sizes. We look over at the cell where the guard is held. He has chewed through the bars and is escaping. He runs down the train track with a thin, white woman on his arm. She has a heavy fringe and she looks like a crack addict. She falls into swampy water (which is filled with brown dead leaves) and drowns. My friend, the female police officer, shoots the guard in the head.

We see a train and we both know it is going to East London. . I get off the train and call Robert. My dad tells me he is going to fire Robert because of his bad plumbing work. (Robert is not a plumber in real life). I'm in a small room looking through large piles of books. I find a book called 'The Dudua guide to Catalan history.' There are also several books about Pomba Gira. Robert takes the form of a large white man and he and a strange man are trying to kill me with a large metal wrecking ball. Their eyes are flashing blue and red. Over the side of the building they are throwing huge bits of plaster and rubble. I’m sitting on an outside terrace with many steps leading up to it.
