This was a very vivid dream. I dreamt that there were several of us playing a game where you all draw rectangles on a sheet of gridded paper, filling in sections of the grid with different colours, and then when all of the squares on the grid are filled in you look at it and somehow you've all drawn a picture! It was incredible and I didn't understand it at the time, but that's because it doesn't make any sense at all!

The next thing that happened was that Yu Lee decided she wanted to test out the steam cleaner attachment underneath the cooker. There was a stainless steel drawer under the oven, and when she opened it what looked like a long vacuum cleaner hose with the brush attachment was inside.

When she turned it on, all of the steam started to fill the house. I went around the house opening up all of the external doors (in this dream the layout of the house was totally different: it was detached with patio doors along each of the longer sides and a garden all around). I pointed fans blowing out of the house in one direction, and into the house on the other side, in the hope that it would create a breeze through the house and blow the steam out. On my way round the house I realised we'd had an electric radiator plugged in for god knows how long in a room we don't use very much. I remember thinking that it explained the electricity bill being so big and it being hot all of the time.

It was all a bit weird!

When I woke up I was having a very strange but very vivid dream. It had a lot of themes mixed up in it: staying with my mum and my brother, my brother buying a new house and having lots of problems with it, it getting late in the year and winter drawing near.

The last thing that happened is that we all went out for breakfast, and everyone's meals started turning up. I hadn't even ordered my food yet, and it turned out that you had to order at the till but I thought it was table service. Mum offered to give me hers but I said I wasn't hungry and didn't want anything anyway.

The breakfast that came was also pretty weird, it somehow seemed like a cross between a normal English breakfast, and sausage and bean casserole and a Cornish pasty!

When my alarm went off and I woke up I was very groggy, so maybe this was a non-rem (deep sleep) dream?

This morning I was dreaming about leaving WorldPay (again!) and travelling to Madrid for some reason. I think I was there to meet one of my workmates from WorldPay who is from Madrid.

When I woke up I could remember my dream, but now all I remember is that it had something to do with machinery or something technical.

In my dream, my dad was going to pick me up to take me on holiday. He arrived at my house (my mum's house where I lived when I was younger) but I hadn't even started packing yet. I quickly tried to pack my things but everything was taking forever and I was going to be late.

I dreamt of being in a dark place, possibly a cave, on an expedition. I was with Yu Lee, and it wasn't very realistic: it had a real computer game feeling to it.

We both had a torch, helmet and rope, and I was at the top of my rope when all of a sudden I dropped my torch and it rolled away. Yu Lee asked if we should quit but I told her not to be so hasty. Then I lost my footing and felt like I was going to fall. I said "Flashlight ...gone. Rope ...lost. Abort!" and we gave up and left.

In another part of my dream (I don't remember if it was earlier or later) Yu Lee had run a bath, but it was a bit too hot for her so she came downstairs while she waited for it to cool down. For some reason I was waiting for her to have her bath so that I could do something.

I told Yu Lee to hurry up and have her bath and she asked if she could finish playing a game on her computer first, and I told her "no".

I woke up to the sound of my neighbours putting up picture hooks on the other side of the party wall.

I dreamt I was back at WorldPay, and this time I was in my own office, which is unusual as the rest of the office is open plan. There was a window in the door, and another window on either side of it, and as I was sitting there I noticed Ben through the glass. He clearly noticed me and signalled as if to say "What are you doing here?"

I signalled at him to leave, but he didn't understand and came closer. He signalled at me again through the glass, and I understood that he was asking why I was back and if I got my job back. I signalled that I hadn't, that I wasn't supposed to be here and for him to go away.

Once he'd gone, I laid back down on the floor of the office, under a fleece blanket to try to go to sleep. Then my real life bladder woke me up.

I dreamt that me and Yu Lee were in our house when a whole army of small, armoured creatures got here. We could hear them outside so we ran up stairs, and as we did they burst into the house down stairs.

There were 2 groups of the creatures and they were fighting each other, but we knew that they were going to overrun the whole place and that our only option was to leave, and that we wouldn't be coming back.

Most of the stuff we would have wanted to take with us was downstairs, but we knew we had to give up on that, so we hunted around for a few things. I knew we would need to sleep outside so I looked for blankets. Our fleecy blankets are always downstairs so I thought we could take duvets but it wasn't ideal.

I also looked for a knife. Yu Lee asked what I was looking for and I described a knife to her that I bought in Spain when I was little, and she said "like this?" and held it out. The weird thing was that she had two versions of it: a full size one and a miniature one. I told her to hurry up because we were running out of time.

We were planning to make our escape out of the bedroom window, and onto the extension roof, where we could wait a while and decide what to do next. The house was getting really hot now, and I knew it was because the heating was broken. In my dream the central heating consisted of a couple of large kettles that looked like metal bins, but with immersion elements in the bottom of them. The kettles were boiling dry and steam was everywhere.

Yu Lee told me she had a fungal infection, and I don't remember if it was in her mouth or between her toes, but it was definitely one of those. She showed it to me and it was a little white fuzzy ball.

She pulled it out with her fingers, and I asked if she was going to put it in her pocket. She told me that if she put it in her pocket it would continue to grow for a couple of days, and I said "Like a ballistomycete?" which is a mushroom enemy in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Now that I'm awake I have no idea why I made that comparison as a ballistomycete is a giant mushroom and what she had was a tiny fuzzy white ball of fluff!

The next thing I remember was being outside with several people, two of which were my Mum and my mate Brad from school. We were all waiting for the barbecue to heat up, and several of us were smoking. My mum asked Brad if she could have some of his cigarette and he said yes and handed it to her. She had a couple of puffs on it and then it was finished.

A couple of seconds later Brad said "Oh shit that was a spliff!" but then he told me that it probably didn't matter because it was only the end of it and it was probably all tobacco at the bottom. Mum did seem a little bit jolly but I put it down to the red wine she was drinking.
