Am stuck in due to combination of a stinking cold and a domestic crisis, and whilts watching a TV fishing prog, they were talking about how they all had fishing dreams sometimes. Thank God, I am not mad after all! (or maybe we all are?)

I seem to have a fairly regular recurring theme where I'm in a new house (either somewhere on holiday or having moved house) and I discover a fantastic lake beneath the flloorboards. The floorboards sort of become invisible and I am able to fish in the water whilst sitting on the stairs, a bed, the sofa or whatever. I hook some huge fish, usually a massive pike, but I either lose it or wake up before I get to land it.

...OK, perhaps I am mad after all!

Anyone else have any they care to fess up to?

i did get a recurring dream non fishing related which was the same on and off for about 10 years . Iv always been brought up with cars around me and motoracing . Out of all the great cars i'v drove i always had this reccuring dream about driving a ferrari [ im not into ferraris ] but the dream kept coming back and was really annoying me and didnt understand it . So and 1 night i was at knockhill with my own car and they had a ferrari 355f1 at the time for hire so i went for it !!!!! and never had the dream since .

so.... the moral of the story is move house / preferably 1 on stilts ontop of a loch and cut some holes in the floor

Jeff, you shouldn't associate with that mrtrout --- he's awful, but I like him!!
I can't ever remember dreaming about fishing, except in my pipe dreams, when I smoked a pipe. Have spent many hours poring over maps of Scotland, Wales and Ireland; planning holidays with two old mates, both now dead, alas, and always looking for the day when we would all hit the jackpot and find the trout on the lochs and loughs going wild, and not being able to keep them off the fly. Did I enjoy my pipe dreams, of course!! The anticipation, as they say, is better than the participation ( Lying swine!! )
It was the company, 'The crack', that 'little lad again' feeling and sheer, never-say-die optimism that made it all worth while. Happy dreams, and watch those so-and-so floor boards. Terry C
PS Confession time. I suppose, a long time ago, I might have dreamed about being as good or better than my old mate, Ken, at fishing for sea trout or fishing the dry fly. He was a legend, locally. When I reached his standard, he was past his best -- he must have been!! Well, we are allowed to dream.

i wasnt gonna mention this to anyone but what the hell, when i am under pressure in life i seem to have very animated and vivid dreams...

i got up the other morning to the missus and kids stifling laughs and generally acting a bit odd, i walked into the kitchen, poured a coffee and mrs pimp says to me
"morning, you have risen early this morning..." que more giggling from the underlings

"fancy a bite of toast".... by now underling JNR is weting herself...

I rise to the bait and ask what is going on, it transpires that i woke the lot of em up in the night having one of my episodes...

apparently i woke SWMBO up by sitting at the foot of the bed and yelling "Hurry up woman, i have never seen a hatch like it.... wheres my rod"

"OOOOH yes head and tail there... lovely rise"

spooked the kids and dogs then just laid back down and started snoring..
