Pokémon
I am not sure of the ordering of events in this dream.
At some point I decided I wanted to do something else other than my uni course, so I was trying to get into another career (something practical). I was trying to enrol at a college and get a job.
I went into town and bought a gameboy advance and two pokémon games. After I got the first one I washed my clothes and forgot that the cartridge was in my shirt pocket. The cartridge was broken after that and I was gonna take it back but it was obviously broken. I ordered the second cartridge by courier and told him (the delivery man) the story of how I broke the first one.
Something weird was going on with Brummy Matt's accommodation but I can't remember what.
The dream ended with me designing some weird machine on the computer as a competition. The main thing I remember is that it had to be attached to a tight rope and move across it.
Also, at some point I played one of the pokémon games and it seemed very familiar. You could only have two pokémon on your team instead of the usual amount, and it was an original gameboy game because the colours were shit.
