Fish will slowly die, because they get their oxygen by filtering it from the water through their gills. But lobsters don't die, you have to kill them. They live under the water, they don't have lungs, so why don't they die?

I was in a sunny part of the world in an art gallery shaped as a spiral staircase with no outside wall, with paintings on the inside column. As we came down I was having small sub-dreams at each painting, but forget them except the last 2.

The first one, I was finding spaces in time, shaped like flats along a main boulevard with apartment blocks on each side. An American policeman was writing details of the spces in time and was quite happy about me finding them. Then I came back to the staircase and on to the next painting.

This time, I was in a stable with some young unicorns in. They were like deer with small horn buds starting to grow, except I knew they were unicorns. One had a tap in his side with a sign 'local valve' that I'd put in last time I visited the stable. Somehow I made one of the unicorns fall in love with another and they went outside for a shag.

Then I came back into the art gallery, and I was at the bottom of the staircase and we went outside..

Either it's blue or you don't get it. I think it's something to do with the lint from cotton shirts
