Dreams Of The Rainforest...
In last night's dream, which I went really soppy over, I went back to nature in one of my favourite fantasies - living and playing in the rainforest with my friends.
I was sitting on a large rock in the middle of the lake, with no clothes on and feeling free and peaceful, at one with my natural surroundings. I smelt the water-based natural flowers that grew around me - they smelt so fresh and succulent. Just then, I saw Luke, Resus and Cleo splashing in the lake nearby. Luke and Resus too had no clothes on. Luke called for me to come and join him and his friends, so I stood up and took an almighty dive into the clear, cool water.
This was all revealed to be a fantasy we had whilst in the bath. When we got out, we put on dressing gowns that were so soft, they were really kind to our skin (and, to Cleo, bandages), and we wore nothing else except these dressing gowns for the rest of the day.
I know, my last two dreams were full of vibrant energy, but this dream went back to the softness my dreams normally had. Seriously, when I've finished the Jacqueline Wilson Dream Journal I'm going to start work on 'My Dreams'.

The Wheels On The CBeebies Radio Bus
My new addiction to CBeebies Radio caused this dream to happen, and I'm sure there's a CBeebies bus somewhere out there if I had that dream.
The bus belonged to CBeebies Radio, and was a hands-on project with lots of buttons to push and levers to pull. Each button or lever was themed to a certain CBeebies Radio show, story or song, such as No Such Town, Digi Tales, Cloud Nine, Jumble Bus, Granny Anne's Joke World, Cymbeline's Dream Workshop or others. Everything on the bus was free to press, and everything you heard came out of loudspeakers from each corner of the bus, so you can enjoy the imagination that sparks listeners' own.
I wish there was a CBeebies Radio bus in real life that visits primary schools and lets them press a button to listen to their favourite show from CBeebies Radio, or do creative writing activities based on the shows. It would be brilliant if they did that.

Goodnight, Harry
I just discovered CBeebies Radio's reading of Goodnight, Harry, a story about a brown toy elephant who tries everything to get to sleep - the recording sounds old fashioned, classic and sweet, and I thought I'd share it with you.

A Sketch Show About Words - A Dream That Says A Thousand Things
I've seen how sketch comedies like So Random and Diddy TV can get annoying at times, and I often wished Diddy TV had an improvement to make it better: if it included viewer participation and had one word which the characters belted out throughout the show, and then viewers would have to shout the word as loud as they can at the end of each show. Well, I dreamed about just that.
There was a sketch show on CBBC about words, mostly a mature version of CBeebies' Yakka Dee. Each episode focused on one stupid or nonsense made up word that the hosts and characters encouraged viewers to shout out when they saw a sign pop up at the corner of the screen. Throughout the many skits and songs aired through the programme, the characters would belt out the word, which would pop up in big letters on the screen. Each episode also included a young guest which would come into the studio, and the hosts would encourage the child to say the word for the first time, then at the end of each programme, everyone shouts out the word altogether and has a boogie when the child finally succeeds in saying today's word.
I think that'd be a good idea for a sketch show that'd teach viewers English, don't you think? I think so. Well, it'll make sketch shows less annoying if they thought up a comedy sketch show that teaches viewers English and had made up words.
