I my dream I'm at someone else's house, although I have no clue who's house it is. In some parts of the dream it seems that I forget this and think of it as my own house, but overall there is a definite feeling of being somewhere else.

Wine

The first part of the dream is the only part where I remember it as being our house. It is either my birthday or Christmas, and for some reason my next door neighbours have dropped round a bottle of wine as a present. When I get the bottle of wine out of the gift bag it's clear that it's been opened already, and for some reason I'm convinced that they've refilled the bottle with a different kind of wine. There is a hand written tag tied around the neck of the bottle which says something like "Give it a go, and if you don't like it, try a different one!"

I open the bottle and taste it, and it's a very fruity, light bodied red wine. It's not what I would normally drink, and it tastes cheap, but it's definitely drinkable.

Watching a Video

The next thing I remember is sitting on a sofa in front of a widescreen TV. I'm with Stefan, and we want to watch some kind of video (possibly a movie) together. The video is on a tablet (computer) and I have connected it to the TV with a HDMI cable, and I'm trying to get it to play properly through the TV. The video is working but there is not sound coming out of the speakers.

As I'm trying to get it working, Stefan keeps turning the volume up on the tablet so that it plays out of the tablet speakers, and I keep on having to take it off of him and turn it back down. I explain to him that I want to watch it through the TV but he doesn't get it.

After a lot of fiddling around I manage to get it to play out of the TV speakers, but Stefan is still staring at the screen of the tablet.

"Why are you doing that? Don't you want to watch it on the big screen?" I ask him.

"I dunno, it's just easier."

Play Fighting

I am sitting on the floor next to a coffee table and there is a young girl there with us, probably about 12 years old. We are messing around and start play fighting, but I think I hurt her and stop. It suddenly occurs to me that she is so much weaker than me that I have to really hold back or I will hurt her.

Initially she is upset, but then she gets over it. She's watching TV and I grab the remote control and turn it off to see what her reaction is. She immediately jumps on me and starts play fighting again and I'm relieved that she's not still upset. This time I don't try to win!

Cats and Dogs

The last thing I remember is sitting in the front room (the room with the coffee table) and there is a dog with us. At this point I'm pretty sure that the owner of the house is away and we are house sitting for them.

I walk out towards the kitchen to make a drink, and as I get to the hallway I see a cat coming down the stairs. I think to myself "I didn't realise they had a cat," as the cat walks out towards the back of the house.

It's the summer and the house is really warm so all of the doors and windows are open. Yu Lee is outside in the garden.

I see the cat walk out of the patio doors and into the garden, and all of a sudden I realise what is about to happen and everything goes into slow motion. The cat dashes out into the garden and at the same time the dog runs towards the window in the living room and jumps out. I can't see what's happening but I can hear it, and I can see Yu Lee's face as she look at it.

I hear a terrible noise as the dog grabs hold of the cat, and then I hear another noise over and over again as the dog is shaking the cat in its jaws. Yu Lee is in shocked and just watching with her mouth hanging open.

The noise goes on for quite a few seconds (that seem like an eternity), and then all of a sudden a part of the cat comes flying off, into the house and hits me. I'm disgusted by what's just happened.

This is the last thing I remember before waking up.
