Army Base

I don't remember many of the details of this dream.

I was at some kind of army base on a training exercise. The thing that made this interesting, however, was that it was no normal army base, and the place had a "non-euclidean geometry". This meant that the layout didn't make sense, and you could walk down one corridor and come out somewhere completely unexpected.

The base itself was a sprawling mass of corridors and tunnels, and was obviously designed to make you confused. The main thing I remember about the base itself was that there were a lot of really tight passages and staircases which were reminiscent of the narrow stairways leading up the towers of an old church or castle.

We were split into teams and were supposed to stick together, but I can't remember what we were trying to do. There was a heavy emphasis on not getting lost or separated from your team-mates which was hard due to the nonsensical layout.

I remember talking to one of my team-mates about how they built the base, and no one could figure it out, but we thought maybe it was just a computer simulation.

Stereo

First of all, in real life I'm due to get a new stereo delivered today, and I think maybe that influenced my dream. Although I didn't spend that long on it, I did spend some time researching different stereos. Also, the stereo that I ordered has a black, silver and white version.

The first thing I remember in my dream is a package turning up, and when I open it it is the stereo that I ordered. The box is much bigger than expected and when I open it up there are three smaller boxes inside.

When I was ordering my stereo (in my dream) I remember that there were multiple different colours, and I chose a red one as it was the cheapest. When I open the first box in my package I am surprised to see that they've sent me a black stereo. Then when I open the next one it has a silver version of the same stereo, and the last one has an ugly red one which is a bright, pinky red with a white stripe down the middle (horizontally).

At first I'm confused, but then I realise that they must just send out one package regardless of what you order, and you have to return the stereos that you didn't order. I really want the black one, but as I'd paid the cheapest price I decide that I must send it back and keep the red one.

I decide that I want to try out my stereo, but I'm still not sure if I want to actually keep the red one. I am afraid that if I use it, then it will look used and I won't be able to send it back.

Right about this point my brain seems to get a bit confused as I start attaching wheels to the red stereo, and before long I am cycling into town on a large tricycle! I'm cycling really carefully though because I don't want to mark it.

When I'm in the city centre, I start to think about returning the other packages, and all of a sudden I realise that Amazon orders don't work in the way I was describing earlier: I must either keep the package or send the whole thing back. I realise that this means I can keep all three stereos, and I stop worrying about having to send this one (the tricycle) back.

Working in a Shop, Crappy Extensions

Tags: Ai Seng Yu Lee

The main part of my dream that I remember is that I was working in a shop, but for some reason I couldn't come into work so Ai Seng was covering for me.

While she was working my shift me and Yu Lee went into the shop to buy a few things. The total came to a couple of pounds, but when she entered it into the till she just opened the drawer and gave us a load of money, as if she'd taken £50 and was giving us the change.

Afterwards me and Yu Lee were having a go at her and saying that if she wants to do that and basically steal from the shop, she should enter £50 into the till, but ask us for £5. That way we will hand her a £5 note and she will pretend we gave her £50, and if someone looks through the cctv footage it will at least look like we paid.

The next part of my dream that I remember took place in Slough, in York Avenue. I guess my mum was living there in my dream and I was going to visit her.

When I got there I noticed that Cliff and Sue (who lived next door to my mum) had a new extension, and then as I was walking down the street I noticed that a lot of other houses had extensions too. After looking at them for a while I realised that they were not quite right, and there were a lot of half finished buildings and exposed breeze blocks.

Later on I was talking to my mum and she was explaining how someone was funding people in the area to have extensions, but when they started doing the construction work, they were doing all of the houses in parallel rather than finishing one and moving on to the next one. When they were all nearly finished they ran out of funding so everyone was stuck with an unfinished extension.

The final part of my dream that I remember is that a car was driving down the road, and all of a sudden it stopped and someone wound down the window. They said that the fat man in the back was stuck and they needed some help getting him out.

I approached the car to help them but as I did so the doors all opened and everyone got out and told me that they'd sorted it out now.

Homemade Black Pudding

Tags: Peder

I was with a load of work people including my friend Pete from Jagex. We were all going to eat together, and the group had recently got a machine for making black pudding.

They opened up the machine and started putting in all of this disgusting meat and blood. It wasn't blood from a fresh carcase, but really disgusting meat that didn't seem very fresh. It looked like they'd raided the bins from a butchers!

When the disgusting mixture was in the machine we left it too cook for a while, and then they served it up to my mate Pete first. He took the slice of black pudding out of the machine and cut into it with his knife and fork. It was a shapeless, half liquid mass of filth on his plate - something truly awful.

I told the group I wasn't going to eat it because it didn't look to be cooked properly, and knowing the quality of the meat I really wanted it to be well cooked. Pete's fork was heading for his mouth but when he heard me say that he stopped and put the black pudding back on his plate.

After that we let the black pudding cook for a long time before taking it out again. This time it looked like black pudding!

I don't remember anything else so I can only assume I woke up before tasting it.

Cruise Ship

Tags: Tim Ferriss

I'm on some kind of cruise ship. It's an enormous ship and feels like a city, and I'm staying with several other people. We each have our own room and share a communal area with a kitchen. It feels a lot like student accommodation.

I don't know any of the people I'm with from real life and Yu Lee is not with me. The only other person I recognise from the group is Tim Ferriss.

At one point I'd cooked some food and was eating it, and Tim comes over and asks me if he can have a taste of the fried tomato on my plate. I tell him it's not tomato but caramelised onions, but that he can have some and he goes to take some with his fork, but when he tries to take it it turns out to be a mark on the plate. I tell him that I didn't make much food because we were running out of supplies.

Most of the people in our accommodation have just left and we've got new people in, so there are people unpacking stuff and loading up the fridge and freezer. I notice when they are putting stuff away that there is still a lot of food around the place that is not mine or Tim's, so I go to investigate. There are several cardboard boxes with Abel and Cole stickers on them in the fridge and freezer, and I open one up from the freezer and it has a sausage, some asparagus (in the freezer!) and some other vegetables in it. I talk to the others about it and say we should eat the food that they've left behind and everyone agrees. I think we should group up and cook together, but I don't want to offer because I can't cook for 8 people in the tiny little kitchen.

A little while later 2 of the girls that are staying with us come back in with loads of food shopping. We talk about how expensive everything is on the ship and I ask them how much they've spent, but they say that they haven't paid for anything yet. They have gone round all of the shops on the ship and put items in their basket, and now they have to scan them all with a machine and then pay for them in one go.

I remember thinking that it must take ages to do the shopping like that.

Dijon Chicken

In my dream, I had invited Mum, Richard, Bob and Steph over for dinner after work on Friday. It was summer, and we were going to sit outside in the sun and have a few drinks and something to eat. For dinner I'd planned to make chicken in a Dijon mustard sauce, fried tomatoes and salad.

I'd spoken to mum on the phone that day, and then she was the first to arrive. I was dishing out the food but Mum was the only one who'd turned up at that point. Mum said Richard would be there soon but I hadn't heard anything from Bob and Steph, so I sent Bob a text message saying "Where are you?"

A little while later we managed to get hold of Richard on the phone and he seemed to be a bit confused and for some reason thought that we were due to be meeting up the next day. All of a sudden Mum realised the problem and said "It's only Thursday today!" It turned out that I had lost track of the day and thought it was Friday already, and because I was on the phone to Mum earlier she thought it was Friday too.

Richard told me that he would be over soon, and I texted Bob and said "Don't worry, I got the day wrong. See you tomorrow."

A while later Richard still hadn't turned up and I was getting stressed because the food was already dished up and going cold. Me and Mum were trying to work out the best way to heat it all up again as it had loads of salad on the plates, so I couldn't just put the whole thing in the microwave. We decided it would be best to take the fried tomato and chicken off of the plate, microwave it, and transfer it back onto the plate.

As we started to move things off of the plates Richard turned up. I told him what we were doing and he said "I would just leave the chicken cold if I were you." He told me that Dijon chicken is normally served cold as it is mayonnaise-based, but I told him that this was a special recipe and was different. I asked him to taste it so he got a spoon and tasted a little bit of the chicken. He said "it's fine," and I put the plates of food back on the table as they were.

Ergonomics

I remember two parts of this dream very clearly.

In my dream I'm working in an office building, and in the first part of my dream I remember seeing a new type of "ergonomic" office, where you could raise your office area up and down. I'm not sure whether I saw another ergonomic office in real life or just saw a picture/video of it somewhere, but it consisted of a large building with a wheel of massive steel arms in the middle of the room. Each arm extended outwards slightly and upwards, and from the top of the arm was suspended a work area.

Each work area had a floor, ceiling and two walls - like a box with the front and back missing. Inside each work area was a desk and a chair, and the arms in the centre of the room could be moved so that the work area would go up or down to the desired height.

I have no idea how I did it, and it doesn't make much sense, but somehow I managed to implement this in my office building. All of the other employees were working at normal work stations at ground level, but mine had a giant steel arm behind it that could raise it up and down.

I also, for some reason, had two work stations: a normal one on ground level and my new "ergonomic" one which I chose to suspend several metres in the air. I spent a lot of time adjusting the height of my new office and was constantly moving between work stations, taking objects and furniture from one to the other.

The second part of my dream that I remember was back at my normal work station. I had some kind of inflatable back support and I was showing people how it worked.

For some reason I had it in my rucksack, and I had a remote control attached to it by a wire. When I pressed the button the back support would inflate and poke out of my rucksack.

I specifically remember showing a girl that worked with me how it worked, but she didn't seem to be very interested. I thought it was wonderful for some reason and was frustrated by her lack of interest.

A Hole in the Ground (in Spain)

Tags: Yu Lee

I don't remember all of this dream, and some of the stuff I do remember is a bit vague. I remembered it several times during the day, but each time it wasn't convenient to come a write it down.

I was in Spain with Yu Lee, staying in some kind of hotel, and it was winter. I don't remember much from the beginning of the dream, but I distinctly remember Yu Lee saying something along the lines of "I actually quite like the climate: it's nice not being too cold at this time of year. I could definitely live out here."

If you know Yu Lee well enough you'll know that this would never happen in a million years!

Something weird was going on at the hotel. I'm not quite sure what it was, but it felt like a hostage situation, and I'm not 100% convinced that I was on the good-guys' side. All I know is there were a lot of people everywhere, and it seemed like some kind of disaster, with people huddled together and generally trying to cope.

The one part of the dream in the hotel that I remember is that all of a sudden the floor collapsed in the corner of one of the rooms, and there was a deep hole left behind. I think some people were standing there when it collapsed and fell in, and there was a general feeling of panic.

There was definitely something strange about this hole that appeared, and it seemed to be magical, or evil. For some reason I knew that we could achieve something by standing right at the edge of the pit and looking down, but I didn't have the guts to do it.

I remember telling Yu Lee to look after everyone while I went somewhere, meaning to make sure that other guests don't escape. I don't really remember where I went, but I remember walking around the sunny Spanish streets with the ringleader who was holding the hostages, and it felt a lot like wandering around with my dad.

When I got back to the hotel I was worried that everyone would have gone, and sure enough the place was deserted. This is the last thing I remember before waking.

Floodlights

Tags: Yu Lee
Semi-Lucid Dream (L1)

I don't remember all of the details of this dream any more, but I think I remembered it pretty clearly after waking. I don't remember exactly what we were doing, but me and Yu Lee were in a city, possibly in another country, and we were looking for something. The dream had a feeling of adventure to it, and I feel like we were trying to find our way inside some kind of building.

The dream took place in the night time and it was dark all around. We were away from the main street, in some kind of alleyway or square, and it was too dark to see and find our way to our destination.

I spotted some floodlights around the square and then noticed a switch that I assumed would turn them on. I flicked the switch and all of a sudden I could see everything clearly, but it wasn't because the floodlights had switched on: it was because the whole city was gently lit. There were thick grey clouds over head, and the city was lit by low levels of sunlight shining through the clouds, as if it was an hour or so before sunset on a cloudy day.

I looked at Yu Lee and said "I think I'm dreaming. If this switch doesn't turn the lights back off I'll know for sure."

I flicked the switch again, and this time nothing happened. I was sure by this point that I was dreaming.

The next thing I did was the same thing I always do in a lucid dream: I tried to fly. This is the first time I ever remember this not working though, and I jumped off the ground a little and landed back. I was talking to Yu Lee but she had stopped replying to me. It was as if my subconscious was unable to control the dream any more since I'd become lucid, but I wasn't in control either.

I felt the dream start to become hazy but wanted to do something in the dream. The only thing I could think of was to take Yu Lee's clothes off, and she let me without responding as she was in a zombie-like state. As I started to pull off her clothes the dream faded even more until I found myself laying in my bed, trying desperately to stay in the dream world but realising that I was now fully awake.

Bringing Girls Back

My memory of this dream is hazy and confused.

The first part I remember had something to do with driving. I think I was drunk, at a party, and for some reason I had to move the car. I was too drunk to drive, but as I only had to move it a couple of metres I still did it, but when I was trying to drive the car was going crazy and I couldn't do it.

The second part I remember was coming back in the house. Ray (from my school) was living in a bedroom in our loft, like when he used to live with us at York Avenue.

There was music on, or maybe I had headphones on, and when I turned it off I hear loud noises and everything seemed to be shaking. I asked Yu Lee what it was and she said that Ray had brought a girl back home. I asked where they were doing it and she said in the small room.

A while later I saw Ray, but now he wasn't Ray and instead was a fat, black, bald-headed police officer! I asked about the girl that had just left and he implied that he had had sex with her. I asked where, and he told me he did it in his car. I told him I knew he did it in the little room. I got angry and started to shout at him, and told him he's not to bring girls back and shag them in the spare room.
