I don't remember much of this dream, and wasn't originally going to bother to record it at all.

The first thing I remember was being at a car dealership, trying to buy a new car. The car I was looking at was really weird though, and instead of having a steering wheel had a futuristic control panel instead.

The second thing I remember was going to see Stefan. When I got to his room he was eating something, drinking whiskey and smoking a pipe!

He immediately offered me some. "Have some of this food, and have some of this." He put a bowl of food in front of me, poured me a large whiskey and then passed me his pipe.

I put the pipe to my lips and tried to take some of the smoke into my lungs a few times, but it was really weak. Then I had one last go, and this time the smoke was really thick and strong, and almost felt wet, like I was breathing in a heavy mixture of smoke and water vapour. I found it hard to keep the smoke in my lungs without coughing and was relieved when I'd breathed it all out.

"Are you supposed to inhale it?" I asked him, remembering that I'd read somewhere that you are just supposed to breath pipe smoke into your mouth.

"I don't know, you just smoke it!"

Me and Yu Lee are at home, and we're both starving but haven't organised anything for dinner. I suggest that we should go out to eat but Yu Lee isn't keen on the idea. I'm not sure how, but somehow Yu Lee gets a small wrap with kebab meat and chips inside, which we eat, but afterwards we are still hungry as it was really tiny.

I say again that we should go out to eat and this time Yu Lee says that it's going to rain really heavily and isn't safe to drive. I manage to convince her and go to put my shoes on.

As I am sitting there, trying to get my feet into my shoes, I start to have real difficulties getting them in and get very stressed. Every time I try to push my feet into them the backs of the shoes get caught under my feet and fold down inside the shoes. I get more and more frustrated and eventually end up throwing my shoes across the hallway.

Yu Lee asks if I'm OK and I explain that I can't get my shoes on, and she manages to calm me down and help me to get them on. It starts to rain outside and Yu Lee convinces me to let her drive.

When we get to the restaurant, we realise that it is also a hotel and has rooms available. It is raining more and more heavily outside, so we decide to book into the hotel just in case we can't get back in the rain.

After paying for our room we order a kebab (it is a Turkish / Mediterranean / Middle-Eastern style restaurant) and sit down to eat it. After we've taken just a few bites out of it we decide to quickly pop up to our room and dump our stuff, and then return to the restaurant.

When we get back our food is gone. The waiter sees us waiting by the bar (where we were eating before) and calls us over to a table and disappears out into the kitchen.

By this point we have decided that we just want to get a takeaway and go back home as the rain is dying off. After waiting for a few minutes the waiter comes to take our order, and I order a beer. He says there is a problem with the beer and that he has to go and do something in the cellar, and then he rushes off to sort it out before we get a chance to tell him that we just wanted a takeaway. We are sure that he assumed we are eating in because he knows that we have booked a room for the night.

While the waiter is gone, me and Yu Lee talk about what we are going to do for the rest of the night. We both wanted to leave, but we agree now that we are there so we might as well make the most of it.

After a long time the waiter comes back with my beer. It is in a small brown bottle and is some kind of craft beer. I take a sip and it is a lovely, cold lager with a refreshing and slightly sweet flavour. We start to make our food order when I wake up.

In my dream I am living in a small apartment with Yu Lee. I'm not sure about all of the details, but the apartment feels a bit like student accommodation, although I don't think we are students. It's definitely not in a normal block of apartments, and I get the impression that it is in a building where people work or do research.

My apartment is pretty small. From the corridor you come straight into the living room which has a table and four chairs, a two seater sofa and a TV. It's not a very big room and the furniture takes up most of the space.

Out the back of the living room is a tiny hallway. Immediately on the left is a tiny, narrow kitchen, and the next door leads into our bedroom. I can only assume that there is a bathroom somewhere as it never appeared in my dream.

The first thing I remember is getting a visit from a young man with blonde hair, and he tells me that I need to testify in his trial. I don't feel that I have the option of declining: it is a legal requirement that I testify.

He has a very strange musical instrument with him that he tells me is some kind of flute. (It had a funny name, and I felt that it was alien. The dream had a bit of a Star Trek feel to it at this point.) For some reason I had to listen to a recording of some music and testify at his trial that the musical instrument in the recording sounds exactly the same as his instrument.

I agree to do it (not that I felt that declining was an option) and he leaves, telling me that he will return later.

A while later, a group of people turn up at my door. They are people that I have never met before, and to be honest they look a little bit scary. They tell me that they are a surveillance team and have been sent to keep an eye on me whilst I'm involved in the trial. They tell me that they need to take a few things out of my apartment for some reason so I say OK.

While I'm dealing with the 'surveillance team' there is another knock on my door. I ask them if I can answer it and they tell me to go ahead.

This time it is someone to do with my work at the door. He is older than me (in his 40s) and has some kind of document that he needs me to read. While I'm dealing with him the door goes again and two guys are at the door that need to talk to me about something. I tell them to come in and I talk to the original guy again while the two new guys wait in the kitchen.

The door goes a third time, and this time it is the boy who's on trial, and he has brought his flute back to play it for me. I tell him to set up in my bedroom.

The door goes again, and this time it is Christina, Stefan and Alana who have come to visit, unannounced. My tiny apartment is getting a bit crowded now: there is the boy in my bedroom with his flute; two guys in the kitchen waiting for me; the guy from work in the front room with me at the kitchen table; Christina, Stefan, Alana and Yu Lee hanging around by the sofa; and the surveillance team moving in and out and removing items from the apartment.

I ask the work guy if I can go and quickly speak to the others and see what they want, as it's going to take a long time to read his paper (which, by the way, seems to be a pretty long newspaper article and nothing to do with work!).

I go into the bedroom, and the boy with the flute tells me he is ready. I was just intending to pop my head around the door and tell him that I'd be a while, but as he's ready I decide to have a quick listen. He sits there fiddling with the flute, but he still seems to have a bit of setup to do, so I wait and watch what he is doing.

This is the first time that I got a really good look at the flute. It was a large instrument, probably about a metre long, and made from green stone. The mouthpiece was a long tube that you blow into, but the end where the sound comes out was really weird, like a large stone box with a cylindrical hole in the end.

After a few minutes he starts playing it and a weak sound comes out, but I'm too distracted to really pay attention to it. Yu Lee comes to the door and asks if it's OK for her to take Stefan, Christina and Alana out to look at something related to biology and tell her "of course!" By this point I'm stressed at having so many people in the house and glad to get some of them out.

After a couple of minutes I start to get stressed at having so many people in my apartment. The boy is still not playing his flute properly and is having some kind of problem, and is also fiddling with a CD player trying to play a backing track. I tell him I need to pop outside for a breather and walk straight out the front door, leaving all of the people inside.

I leave the building and walk down the street for about five minutes. After that I turn round and start walking back. I notice a black man in a uniform standing about 100 metres away from me. As I start walking back to the building he starts walking backwards, watching me the whole time. I realise that he is there as part of the surveillance team and is keeping an eye on me.

As I get back to the apartment building I see the rest of the surveillance team leaving in a white van. One of them winds down the window and tells me that they told everyone that I'd gone and wasn't coming back today. I feel quite angry that they said that as I was just popping out to get some air.

When I get back inside the apartment it is empty. All of the people have gone, and a lot of my things are missing too, for example the speakers from either side of my TV have been taken. I suddenly feel very alone and wonder where Yu Lee and the others are.

Edit

I remember one more part of my dream, but not where it fit in exactly. I remember walking down a corridor with the guy in his 40s, and I'm not sure how the conversation got onto it but he told me that he plays League of Legends. I asked what champion he likes to play and he said that he plays Nidalee. I asked him if he plays top lane and he said that he does.

Then he went on to tell me that he doesn't understand how to play mid lane and doesn't know what champions can be played in the mid lane and I told him that you could play Veigar.

The other thing I remember is that when I saw that my speakers were missing, I though "Oh no, now we can't watch LCS with the good speakers!"

I don't remember much of this dream at all, but I was talking to a dream character about his car. He had an old Vauxhall Nova, and he was telling me that it didn't run on petrol, and was in fact powered by a Teletext machine!

I remember him telling me that it wasn't supposed to power the car, but that those old Teletext machines were so powerful that it had enough energy to drive the car with.

It seemed to make sense at the time...

I'm not really sure where this dream took place or what everyone was doing, but there were quite a few people around and it seemed to be some kind of social event. We were all outside, and at one end of the venue was what looked like a brick built shed. Inside the shed was a massive column, and a large doorway into a larger building.

When I stepped inside the shed, I saw that Chris Barnett (someone I knew at school) was there, standing outside the doorway. I started a conversation with him and he told me that he works inside the big building, but today the office is closed so he is standing outside.

While we were talking more people came in and started talking to him. From that point on, every time I asked him something, someone would interrupt and change the topic of conversation. This continued for quite a while.

At some point quite a while later, I left the building and did something. On my way back to the shed, while I was walking up the garden, I suddenly heard a noise and looked around to see some dogs running up the path at me. They were black and looked a lot like rottweilers, and there were two small (relatively speaking) ones and a large one. The small ones were slightly smaller than a normal dog, and I knew they were puppies, and the larger one was pretty big and a bit of a monster!

The dogs ran at me, and when they got near me the two puppies didn't seem to know what to do with me and circled me, but the big one charged at me and rammed me with its head. I was starting to get scared and knew I couldn't out run them, and I was worried that they were going to bite me.

The big dog ended up behind me and was ramming the back of my legs with its head, and I'm not quite sure how it happened but in the end I let it push my legs out from under me and sat on it! It was really angry and pushing forward, and I was almost riding it like a horse. I remember thinking that it was a really strong animal, and my full weight being on it didn't seem to bother it at all.

I'm not really sure what happened next, but somehow I ended up off of the dog and there was a little distance between us, so I ran into the shed and got there just before the dogs and slammed the door shut behind me. One of the others was helping me barricade the shed door whilst I explained that I'd been attacked by some wild dogs in the garden.

After a few minutes prowling around outside the shed, the dogs lost interest and moved on.

I don't remember a lot more of the dream. The only thing I remember is that I had a wound on my arm with a dressing on it, and for some reason the others were making me re-dress it because I'd been attacked by the dogs. I was protesting because the dogs didn't go anywhere near the wound, but they made me do it anyway.

In my dream I was still working at WorldPay, but WorldPay is in Slough and my mum was living in Cambridge. I was staying with my mum who was living in an enormous house and sharing it with some other people, and I only had a couple of days left at WorldPay.

I remember it was the morning, and I was supposed to have breakfast and then drive back to Slough to go to work. For some reason, I kept on getting delayed and was going to be very late. We were talking about what I was going to do and I was saying that maybe I'd just leave work early anyway, despite arriving so late.

The main thing I seemed to be concerned about was getting back in time for a nap! Mum was saying that I could take the keys to York Avenue and sleep there if I wanted to, but I said that I didn't want to and would prefer to just come back to Cambridge and sleep here.

I remember saying "Everyone else goes for a beer every Friday lunchtime and takes an extra hour on their lunch break, but I don't, so I work an extra hour to each of them. I'm entitled to leave early if I want to because I've worked extra. Well maybe 'entitled' is not the right word, but you know what I mean."

Before I left to go to work I needed to go to the toilet, so I went into the bathroom but one of the other ladies that shared the house with Mum (who had some small children) was in there. I looked at her and she was just standing there, and she said "Don't mind me" and pointed to the toilet, signalling that I should just go ahead and use it.

I walked up to the toilet and it was really weird. It was made of plastic, and didn't seem to be plumbed into anything. I remember thinking that I wasn't sure if it was a toilet or a potty, but it was the shape of a real toilet and had a flush and a seat, it was just a bit smaller and made of plastic. Also, the bathroom didn't look like a bathroom at all, and was a large carpeted room with no sink or bath, and just this small plastic toilet at one end.

I unzipped and started going to the toilet, and then I started to get an erection. I remember thinking "Why does this have to happen when I'm peeing with the lady in the same room as me?" and trying to bend over forwards so that I could aim it in the toilet. It was getting worse and I had to lean right forward and lean on the wall to keep peeing in the bowl.

The lady asked me if I was alright (I guess she didn't know why I was bending forward like that) and I said "yes," but then the door opened and one of my friends came in and I felt really embarrassed.

The main thing I remember in this dream is trying to dispose of a beehive in someone's garden.

We removed the beehive from a fence and quickly put it in the wheelie bin, and were surprised how easy it was and that none of the bees came out. Then we decided that we couldn't just have a wheelie bin full of bees, so I got a watering can and poured it on the beehive. I started to push the wheelie bin down the other end of the garden, and then all of a sudden I heard a buzzing noise as the bees started to leave the hive and surround me.

The main thing I remember thinking is that next time I would move the bin first and then pour in the water!

I dreamt that I was in a relationship with a girl who was much younger than I am, probably around 18 years old. I'm pretty sure that at the start of my dream I wasn't married to Yu Lee, but at the end of the dream I was.

I remember two things distinctly about this dream. The first was that I was staying at the girl's house (she lived with her parents) and I had to sleep in a separate room because her dad wouldn't let us stay together.

The second thing I remember was at the end of the dream, realising that me and Yu Lee were married and that I had to break it off with this girl. It was tricky because I cared for her and didn't want to upset her.

In my dream I am still working at WorldPay, and for some reason the whole team has gone to Rome. I don't remember the first part of the dream very clearly, but we go to some kind of bar / restaurant.

I'm sitting at a table and Carlos is sitting next to me. I remember talking to him in Spanish whenever we were on our own and reverting back to English whenever other people are around. I don't remember everything that we talked about but I do remember talking to him about wanting to have children.

We're sitting there and drinking, and the conversation changes to the topic of drunk people. The others are saying that there is a local tradition that when someone is sick from drinking too much, they make them drink the vomit! I tell them to change the subject because it is disgusting and making me feel sick, but they carry on talking about it so I decide to go for a walk.

The streets are in really bad condition and almost look like a war zone. There are lots of areas where the pavement is missing and there are large potholes and sections with boards covering large holes in the ground. There are a lot of people around and I'm constantly having to push through the crowd.

I turn a few corners and bump into some work people. There are two sets of two or three people that have just bumped into each other, and I have met them at the same time. I stop to talk to them, and they are talking about going for a drink somewhere, but I realise that the two groups are talking to each other and not really talking to me so I move on.

I walk around for quite a while and feel slightly nervous about being on my own in a foreign country. Eventually I end up back at the restaurant where we started and sit down again next to Carlos.

After I've been sitting there for just a couple of minutes they tell me that they've eaten and are going now. I remember saying to Carlos that I thought this was a waste of time coming here for lunch and the I was happy wherever we were before.

We are in Spain for some kind of work-related leaving do. I'm not sure exactly where I work in my dream as most of the other people are not from any job that I've had, and the main dream character that I remember from this part of the dream is Mrs Oxley from my school (and I honestly have no idea why I would dream of her in particular).

In the first part of my dream we were going to bars and restaurants, and I'm sure some stuff happened but I don't really remember it now. The part that I really remember clearly is from the end of my dream.

After we're finished with our leaving do, I decide to go and visit my dad. When I get there, as well as my Dad and Sue being there, my nan and Pops are there and Pops is still alive, although I don't notice this as being unusual.

I walk up to him and say "Hi Pops" and he replies "How are you doing Stevie Boy?" which is not really something he would have said. His voice is not quite right, and his face is not exactly the same as it used to be, but I know it's still my Pops and I'm happy to see him.

He says something to me, and I don't remember exactly what it was but it was a reference to something that had happened in the past, and whatever he said wasn't quite right, but was in the right direction. Then he said "You see, I've still got a good memory, haven't I?"

"When he's got any memory at all," Nan says sarcastically.

I walk right up to him and put my arms around him and suddenly realise that I haven't seen him for a long time, and say "I miss you."

"What do you miss about me?" he replies. I start to think about all of the things that I miss about seeing him when I was little: about going for walks in the fields out the back of his house, messing around with the tools in his shed, playing board games, but I can't decide which one to say. I'm suddenly overcome by sadness and start to cry.

Then I wake up in my bedroom.
