The Policeman's Ball

Tags: Bob Yu Lee

Me, Bob and Yu Lee are staying at a hotel somewhere. It's the evening, and I suggest we should go out and find somewhere that we can have a drink, so we leave the hotel and walk along the main road, but there don't seem to be any pubs around.

We walk past a police station, and one of the others points at it and says "We can go to the Policeman's Ball!"

We walk up to the police station, and no one seems to be around but the doors are open. We go inside and walk down the corridor. We can hear the music inside and I'm sure the party is just around the corner. I ask Bob "Are we allowed to just walk in here and join the party?" and he says that we aren't supposed to be here because we don't work here.

I become nervous and tell the others we should leave. As we are walking out of the police station, someone sees us and approaches us, so we pretend to be prisoners that have just been released. The person we are talking to is obviously an off-duty policeman, but we somehow convince him that we are just prisoners on our way out of the station and he lets us go.

When we're back outside we decide to head back to the hotel. I tell the others that I'm hungry and they say they will cook some "nice mac 'n' cheese" when we get home. I tell them that I'm not eating that!

The Fair

Tags: Yu Lee

We are at a fair. It's the type of thing in a large marquee with lots of stalls and rides inside it. I'm with Yu Lee, and possibly some other people.

We walk up to a stall that has a series of small food stalls, with each one being from different countries. I remember that the English one was really boring, being something like ham sandwiches, but some of the other stalls were a bit better. When I'd just woken up I could remember the different foods in detail but the details have already faded.

Throughout the marquee are a series of rides that look like small roller coasters, but that are all on ground level. They have carts that go round a track, but the tracks are flat against the ground.

We walk up to another stand and ask what it is, and they say some funny name. I ask what that is and they say it is one of the rides, and we are thinking of going on it, but when we ask what it's like it doesn't sound very fun so we change our mind. The lady behind the counter said that it basically moves round the track and has lot of stops and starts and bits that spin you round.

The next lot of people get on the ride and we decide to watch it for a while, and are instantly glad that we didn't get on it. It literally seems to have been designed to be as unpleasant as possible! The cart moves back and forth, spinning and tilting and changing direction suddenly causing the people inside to constantly be rocking back and forwards.

The next thing I notice is that people are being sick on the ride. Each time it happens it is when the cart gets to a sharp bend in the track, and one of the people leans over the edge and pukes on the floor. The vomit splats (that look like lumpy brown porridge) are quickly cleaned up by a woman that runs around the outside of the track with paper towels and a bucket. I remember thinking that the ride is right next to the food stalls, so everyone has just eaten, and that the organisers were clearly prepared for people to be sick.

Finally I notice another woman who is also cleaning up the sick. She looks around 40 years old, has short hair, and is wearing some kind of black robe. The sleeve and leg holes of the robe are really big, and it looks like something a monk or a sorcerer would wear out of a fantasy game. She is also carrying blue paper towels to clean up the vomit.

Mum's Neighbours

This dream has some pretty vague bits in it, and I think there was a fair bit of dream logic going on here.

We are at our house, and my mum and step-dad are here. I think there were a load of other people here too, because me and Yu Lee had just gotten married, but the wedding wasn't actually in the dream. The point where my recollection of the dream starts is just after the wedding.

I'm talking to Mum, and she tells me that she has to dash off because they have to move out of their house in a couple of days. She explains that their neighbour has decided to sell it, so they have to move out. It's not clear in the dream whether her neighbour actually owns the house and is renting to them, or if something else is happening. This is the dream logic I was talking about.

I'm talking very passionately to Mum, saying she should do this and that so that she doesn't have to move. I'm pretty sure I was telling her to call them up and make threats to trash the place. "Tell him if he still wants a house to sell he needs to give you more time."

My mum goes off and I'm left all alone in the house (it seems Yu Lee went somewhere too). The house is a totally different house to any house I remember from real life, but looking out the back it has the same garden as my childhood home in Slough. I can see the large brick-built workshop at the bottom of the garden, and the double doors are right open. You can see all of our stuff inside (which looks like stuff you would normally have in the house) just sitting there in the middle of the workshop.

I walk outside to go and lock up, and think to myself that it was really stupid to leave all of that stuff there with the doors wide open. As I arrive at the bottom of the garden I see my wallet laying on the floor. I remember the image of my wallet very vividly: the clasp that holds it shut was open, but the wallet was still closed, and there was a streak of sand on it and it looked very dirty. It was laying on the middle step leading down from the path to the sunken area of the garden where the workshop was.

When I see my wallet, my first instinct is to put my hand in my pocket and feel for my keys and phone, but they are not in my trousers either. I start locking up and gather my phone, keys etc. and put them in my pocket.

Just as I finish locking up I notice some people coming down the path. They are a couple, and I was really focussing on the man who was about my mum's age and dressed in trousers and a thin sweater with a shirt underneath, and looked a little bit posh. When he opened his mouth to talk to me he sounded extremely pompous and not very likeable, speaking a bit like Douglas Reynholm from the IT Crowd. I realised that he was my mum's neighbour, and although we'd never met before he acted a lot like he knew me.

I was half talking to him and half finishing locking up, but the bit that caught my attention was when he started talking about the house sale.

"I'm selling one of my houses, Steve. It's been a really quick sale, and we haven't spent any money to sell it. Have you ever sold a house quickly with no money, Steve?"

He seemed to be boasting about it and I thought he seemed like an arrogant prick.

They left, and I was on my own again, so I walked back up the side of the house and in through the front door, and then I realised he was in my house. Yu Lee was also in the house now (maybe she was there all along). My mum's neighbour was looking at the plastering around the front door.

"Tell me about this plastering Steve. It looks good, but I know it wasn't done by a professional plasterer."

I told him that my dad did it, and it was very thermally efficient. He asked me how the house was heated and I told him that the radiator was in the front room and pointed towards it.

At that point Yu Lee started to explain the plastering. "When he plastered it, he opened up the plaster and poured in a load of hot potatoes at the end. That's why it keeps the heat in so well."

My mum's neighbour seemed satisfied by this explanation and actually seemed quite impressed. He left through the front door and I woke up.

Collecting my Shoes

I'm at home with Yu Lee and Bob, and I also have a room at Cambridge University. For some reason I need some trainers that I've left at the university halls, so the three of us walk there to get them.

We walk there from my house and it takes us a couple of minutes to get to the university grounds. Once inside the grounds it seems a bit like a medieval town with narrow streets, houses and shops with wooden beams in the front of them and lots of people everywhere. I say that I don't know the way, and Yu Lee says it's easy: "Go all the way to the end, then follow the sign for Mesquite Hall, then turn right about half way down the street."

We walk right to the end, and sure enough there is a big white sign with red letters that says "Mesquite Hall" with an arrow pointing to the right. We turn right and follow the street, and there is a single turn off on the right hand side that cuts in between the buildings. A few steps down this road is the entrance to the halls.

Once inside we go to my room and retrieve the trainers. I decide that I might as well wear them, so I take off my shoes and put the trainers on, and then we realise that the clothes I want to wear are here too so I take them back off again and change my clothes.

Once I've finished getting dressed we leave the university and head for home, but when we're just about to leave the campus I realise I've forgotten something in my room. "Hang on a second guys, I've forgotten my shoes!"

I look down at my feet and realise I've been walking through the streets with bare feet.

I tell the others to go back home and that I will meet them there, and then work my way back to the university room. I didn't remember the way there straight away, but first I saw the sign to "Mesquite Hall", and then the cut through on the right and soon enough I was at the university room.

I put on my socks and shoes, but then I thought that I might as well pick up a few other things. Most of the stuff seemed to have a survival theme, and I remember a pocket knife and snow-shoes being amongst the things I was collecting. Every time I thought of something I'd go to collect it and then leave, but then realise that I'd put something else down or forgotten something else.

It felt like I was in the room for a long time, trying to gather all of my things, and when I left the room I definitely had quite a lot of stuff on me. As soon as I came outside I saw someone who looked very much like Jason Walters from my old work, wearing a suit and approaching people, saying something to them and then walking off. As he got closer I could hear that he was saying something like "Do you want me to punch you in the mouth sir?"

I remember putting my hand in my right pocket and feeling for my knife. Each time he approached someone he would say the same phrase to them, and then wait just long enough for them to feel intimidated and show it on their face, when he'd suddenly smile and move on. I thought if he comes near me I'll stab him.

I watched him come down the road towards me, but then when he got close to me he crossed the road and walked towards the entrance to the halls where my room was and went inside.

Then I woke up.

Camp Site

Tags: Yu Lee
(L0)

I dreamt me and Yu Lee were on a camp site. It wasn't necessarily a camp site with tents: it might have been caravans or some other kind of accommodation. I saw lots of people but never actually saw where we were sleeping.

It was lovely and sunny and we were outside, but then we decided that we needed to go and clean our teeth and use the toilet ready for bed. We split up so that Yu Lee could go to the lady's and I could go to the gent's.

When I go to the toilets, there was a very low and narrow tiled corridor that I had to duck through and walk along bent over to avoid touching the ceiling. When I did get in there I opened my bag to get my toothbrush out I realised that I didn't have the things I needed, but I had Yu Lee's stuff instead. I left the toilet block and went back outside.

At some point, as I walking back through the outside area, I stopped and put my bag on the floor and was rummaging through it. As I was doing so, a woman sitting on the ground near me was talking to her boyfriend, and said something about how "the DVD was not going to make her lucid." Hearing the word "lucid" immediately caught my attention and I looked at her, and she noticed. I said something to her which made it clear that I knew about lucid dreaming.

"He bought me a dirty DVD and thinks that if I watch it it's going to increase my lucidity" she said to me.

I said something like "A dirty DVD's not going to help with your lucid dreaming, it doesn't work like that, does it?"

After that I continued whatever I was doing in my rucksack, and then walked off. As I did so I heard the woman explaining to someone that "a lucid dream is a dream where you know you're dreaming, and you can control it and do whatever you want..."

On my way back to the main part of the camp site I had to walk down a narrow path. There were people all around walking extremely slowly which was frustrating me. I got to a point where there were three Muslim girls wearing burkas in front of me, and they were walking slowly, and spaced out just enough that I couldn't walk between them. There were 2 girls next to and slightly behind them walking along with hula hoops.

I realised that the path was narrowing and this was my only chance to over take, so I tried to run round the lot of them to get past. As I did this, all five of them got annoyed at me and took it as some kind of personal insult, and one of the girls with the hula hoops put her hoop around me to stop me from running away. They all started to have a go at me when the dream faded and I woke up.

Parties

I only remember a few bits and pieces from this dream.

In one part of my dream, we were at a house party. I think it was Mike's house (Mike is from my school) because I seem to remember his mum telling me not to turn the heating up. Mike wasn't in the dream however.

I remember that it was the evening and everyone was starting to go to sleep. There were people laying around everywhere, either sleeping or talking quietly, and it was getting really hot so I turned the temperature down on the thermostat.

A while later, the heating was making weird noises. I moved close to an air vent and there was cold air coming out of it. I realised that there were two heating systems in the house, and one of them was heating the air while the other one was cooling it.

I turned off the heating and the noise stopped.

The other bits of the dream that I remember were extremely vague and I don't remember the order of them. The theme of the dream was still a party, but this time it was in a hall instead of someone's house and there were a lot of people there.

At one point, I was walking around with Yu Lee and she realised she hadn't taken her antihistamine. There was a long queue of people queuing up for something, and she walked up and joined the queue near the front. I told her she shouldn't push in, but she said it was ok as she was only getting her antihistamine.

In another part of the dream, I arrived at a table where Yu Lee and her sister were sitting. When I got there Yu Lee said that they'd made a special cake for me, and that it was made out of truffles (the chocolate kind, not the mushroom). I told them that I wasn't going to eat cake on an empty stomach, and that I needed to eat my dinner first, which made them look a bit disappointed.

Drinks with Dad

Tags: Dad Sue Yu Lee

I was sitting with my dad and two other people, probably Yu Lee and Sue. We were out somewhere (in England) having something to eat. I got the feeling that we'd finished eating, and had to go somewhere else for some reason, possibly to see a show. We were going to have another drink before we left.

Me and Dad ordered a pint each and the others didn't order anything. We definitely both had our drinks but then there was a problem with them so Dad ended up tipping them away.

We went to pay the bill but everyone had gone home. We looked on the board and it was 5 minutes after opening, and Dad said something like "That's why they were in such a rush." Dad then went over to the till, opened it and paid the bill, and said "¡Gracias!" as he put the money in the till.

The other thing I vaguely remember was right at the end of the dream and was something about my shoes. Someone said that my shoes were nice, and then started to say "Do you remember when we first met?" and said that it was something to do with my shoes.

Zombie Appocalypse

Tags: Yu Lee

At some point in the dream there is a scene of a prison break. I have no idea of how this relates to the main narrative, and to be honest I may not have actually dreamt this part, but I had a memory of it during the rest of my dream.

The rest of the dream is about me and Yu Lee in a survival situation. There is a large area that is infested with zombies, and we are hiding out in a derelict house. The problem is that we have run out of supplies, and everything that we need is in the zombie infected area. I don't remember actually seeing any zombies, but we knew they were there.

From time to time Yu Lee decides that she needs to run off and get some supplies. One thing that she keeps doing is going to get the password for something, and I'm annoyed because I remember the password, but she just quickly runs off before I can say anything.

Each time that she goes I feel very scared and alone, and I'm really worried for her. I repeat over and over in my head "please come back" the whole time that she is gone.

At some point a little later in the dream, we need to go into the zombie area and get some kind of chord, and bring it back to the house. It's like an electricity cable that we need to plug in to give power to the ruins. Yu Lee returns with the chord, but the problem is that it's connected to something far from the house where the zombies are. I tell her the zombies could easily follow the chord back to us and find us.

I grab hold of the chord and give it a gentle tug. I tell Yu Lee that I can feel by the resistance on it that a zombie is holding onto it and that it's only a matter of time before they find us!

For some reason, Yu Lee decides that we need to cook some peas. She hands me a bag of frozen peas and a saucepan, and then says she's going back into the zombie area to get some water. I tell her that I don't need water to cook the peas but she's gone already.

I turn to the stove, and it is an electric stove with metal heating elements for each ring. Some of the heating elements are missing entirely, and the one I want to use is intact, but the middle section is missing, meaning there is a hole in the centre which is just bigger than the base of the pan.

I'm trying to work out how to cook the peas on the strange, broken hob when Yu Lee appears outside in the distance, looking distressed and running away from something. I look behind her in the distance and sure enough there is a figure running in her direction.

Yu Lee hides behind some rocks, but the figure advances and I can't tell if he's seen her or not. Then more figures appear and there is a group of them. I start to think that they are not moving like zombies, and Yu Lee seems to notice something at the same time. All of a sudden she stands up a beckons for me to come to her.

The group of zombies get closer, and now I can see that they are not zombies at all. I suddenly realise that they are escaped prisoners running away from jail, and I realise that Yu Lee has decided to run away with the prisoners. It looks like we have an escape plan!

At this point I woke up in my bed at 2:00am.

Shaolin's Divorce

I dreamt that we were in a garden somewhere. There seemed to be a mix of mine and Yu Lee's families there.

When we were in the garden, I heard someone talking about the divorce. I asked who was getting divorced and they said "Shaolin and Ray - they've been trying to do it for a couple of years."

The main thing I remember thinking was that it was weird because they still seemed to be very much together and spent time together. The conversation went on to suggest that they were actually still happy but there was some other kind of reason that they were doing it. It didn't make much sense.

I was in the garden talking to Ray's dad, who was totally different to real life and seemed a bit like Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid. We were chatting for a while and he was talking about how he wanted to go an stay at Shaolin and Ray's holiday home in Spain (which doesn't exist in real life).

I told him that I had to go inside to talk to my dad, and he got up and came in too. He said dinner was ready and Yu Lee came inside to eat as well.

When we got inside I asked Yu Lee what was for dinner and she told me, and she named some weird Chinese thing. I told her that it sounded spicy, and if it was too spicy she shouldn't eat it.

We were at the table at this point waiting to eat, and I said "You know you always try to eat food that is too spicy for you because you don't want to say anything. You know it hurts your stomach and makes you feel sick, so if you don't say something I'm going to come over there and throw it off your plate and onto the floor!"

As I said that I made a karate chop gesture.

Label

Tags: Yu Lee

I don't remember a huge amount of detail about this dream.

Me and Yu Lee were in a shop, and I wanted to buy a single rectangular label to stick on something. I asked one of the girls that worked there if they had any but they didn't. I told her that I really needed one and in the end she said she would go out the back and look for one, and she might have one I could have for free.

In the meantime, Yu Lee was talking to another sales assistant, looking for something else, and she couldn't find it either. When I told her that the girl I was talking to was going to find me something out the back, she asked the sales assistant she was talking to if she could find something, and she also agreed.

A while later I had my label and Yu Lee had whatever she was looking for, and we were about to leave. I said to Yu Lee that I was going to thank the girl that helped me, and Yu Lee said she would do the same to the girl that helped her. I was annoyed that every time I did something Yu Lee seemed to copy me.
