Eating Disorder

Tags: Joanna Yu Lee Zen

I don't recall a lot of the details of this dream, but I was with Yu Lee, Zen and Jo and we were eating. After we finished eating, Jo said that she was very full and a little while later went to the bathroom and I could hear her being sick. I looked at Zen and he told me that this was normal and she does it all of the time.

Tour Bus

Tags: Yu Lee Zen

We're having some kind of party on a bus. I don't remember any of the details or who actually organised it but I feel like I was involved in it somehow.

Everyone's on the tour bus when a couple of guys get up and walk into the centre of the bus to a section where a couple of rows of seats are missing. They say they're going to play a song, and if anyone else has brought their guitars they're welcome to join them. Several people get up and make their way to the middle of the bus, and when one of the people stands up their friend grabs them and pulls them back down into the seat and everyone laughs at them.

The guys all start to play and it sounds really good. I have no idea what they're plugging their guitars into but they are playing metal music and the guitars are definitely amplified. I suddenly realise that I recognise the music and that the two guys that started it must be from Vacant Stare as they're playing the first track off of their album.

At this point most people are sitting at the front of the bus and I'm the furthest back. About halfway through the song the band reposition so that they are facing sideways, and one of them keeps making eye contact with me.

When they finish their song, two other men who are playing with them look at each other and then one of them starts playing a complicated bass line on his bass guitar. The other man starts playing a riff on his guitar and they are really playing quite hard and loud. The other people with instruments all look at each other as if to say "I can't play along with that," and one by one they head back to their seats until only the two men are left playing. I feel like it has kind of ruined it and with that the original group were still playing.

Sometime while this was happening, two people had sat down in front of me, and the person on the seat directly in front of me was an attractive young woman with dark brown hair. I was tired at this point and was slouched in my chair and half asleep.

All of a sudden I feel something touch my feet (for some reason I am not wearing shoes or socks) and the girl in front of me screams and jumps out of her seat. I realise that she had put her feat under her seat and they had touched my feet which had startled her, so I try to say to her that I didn't do anything and that I was sitting like this all along, but she's already gone so I give up.

People are gradually leaving the bus now and it's starting to feel empty, like the party's over.

I'm sitting on my own, deep in thought, when suddenly I see Yu Lee and Zen walking down the aisle from the back of the bus. Zen is wearing a suit and Yu Lee is in a fancy dress and has a lot of make-up on. She also has shortish hair and has done something to it that makes it look different. When I look at her I think she looks really young.

They walk past me and talk to someone just out of site, a few seats in front of me. Yu Lee says "Thanks for everything. We're going to head in now, and I guess this is going to start being a stressful night for us." I think maybe she is talking to her sister but I'm not sure.

At that moment I suddenly realise that while I can see Yu Lee a few metres in front of me, I can also feel her sitting next to me! I have my arm around her and I can feel her head on my shoulder. I start to wonder how she can be in two places at once, but then I fade out of the dream and into reality and I really do have my arm around her and she is asleep with her head on my shoulder. I guess I'd started to wake up already and could sense my real life body whilst still being in the dream world.

A Dying Christmas Guest

This dream had a really odd theme: it was about spending Christmas with a woman who was terminally ill.

We were staying at Ai Seng's house for Christmas. There were a lot of people there, as Zen and Shaolin were both staying there (I assume with their respective partners) in addition to me and Yu Lee, and we also had a terminally ill woman and her three children staying with us too.

The dying woman was relatively young, probably in her thirties. She was slim and had short blonde hair, and although her face had been aged somewhat by her illness, she was still attractive. She had twins who must have been 1 - 2 years old, and a little girl who was a couple of years older.

I don't remember many events from the dream (and to be honest it felt like we spent most of the dream sitting around and not doing much), but it was definitely Christmas day, and having the dying woman with us removed the feeling of Christmas from the atmosphere.

There were a lot of people staying at the house, and fitting everyone in was obviously a problem. Me and Yu Lee were staying in a room that definitely doesn't exist at Ai Seng's house in real life. I'm not sure what the room was normally used for as it had all of the furniture you would expect in a bedroom, but it was attached to the kitchen. I remember saying at one point that it was convenient having the fridge so close to my bed.

I'm not sure where everyone else was staying, but there was a bed in each of the bathrooms. It really felt like there were people and their belongings everywhere!

One of the first scenes I remember was that we were all sitting in some kind of living room. The dying lady started to break down from her illness, and obviously thought she was going to die. She said "Nice meeting all of you," but a while later seemed to have recovered.

Another part of the dream that I remember was needed to use the toilet. I went into the downstairs bathroom, and there was a bed and lots of stuff in there. I closed the door and locked it, pulled down my jeans and was just sitting down when there was a knock on the door.

"Steve, we need to come in and get something. Is that OK?"

I pulled up my trousers and opened the door and Shaolin came in and started sorting through the items in the bathroom. On my way out I heard her lock the door and put the seat down on the toilet, and I felt pretty annoyed that she had kicked me out of the bathroom and then used it herself. A little while later I brought it up when we were all together again and she said "Well, I was desperate," and I said "So was I."

The last part of the dream that I remember was going somewhere with the dying woman and her children. She wanted to go for a walk, so I'd offered to go with her, and now we were outside somewhere.

There were no buildings around, and the scenery was like something you'd expect to find in a national park. I don't remember there being much vegetation around us, and we were walking along a rocky surface with a pool of water nearby.

We stopped walking and started talking. The lady was telling me about how her daughter had been really ill recently, "ever since we'd been to that rock."

I asked her "What rock?"

"We were out for the day in Cardiff, well actually in Middlesbrough, and we were hiking when we came up to a big flat rock," the lady explained. "After the children had been playing on it for a while, we realised that it was covered in a thick layer of dust. A while later [the girl] got sick, and when she recovered from one thing she got ill again with another. Eventually we realised it was the dust causing it and went back to the rock to investigate.

"When we got back to the rock, we started to move some of the dust out of the way and found all sorts of rubbish underneath. There was a lot of household waste, but also dead mice and cats and things like that."

Just as she'd finished speaking, her little girl toppled over head first into the pool of water in front of her. The mum instinctively grabbed her out, and the little kid just stood there and said innocently, "I didn't even notice."

After that I woke up naturally.

Throughout the dream I remember thinking that I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask the lady about her illness, but I didn't think she'd want to talk about it. She seemed very accepting of her fate. I felt like I'd feel angry if I were in her position, but she seemed calm.

Ai Seng's "Boyfriend"

Tags: Ai Seng Zen

We are visiting Zen, but in the dream he lives somewhere else (i.e. not Canterbury). The weather is really nice with a clear blue sky, but I'm aware of the fact that it's getting dark early, and I don't want summer to end.

Ai Seng is with a man that I haven't seen before, and when I say "with", I mean they seem to be in some kind of relationship. He's younger than she is, kind of scruffy, and they don't seem to be very well matched. Throughout the day I have hardly spoken to him but Ai Seng tells me that he will give me a lift home so that I don't have to get the train.

We walk to the spot where his car is parked, in some kind of car park. I see a crappy looking three seater van and realise that is what he drives, and he's parked it really close to the wall, so he tells me he will back it out to give me more room to get in the passenger's side. I hang back and wait, but somehow Ai Seng manages to squeeze in the tiny gap and get inside before he's moved it.

I stand there waiting for a little while, but he's not moving the van, and then I look inside and see them kissing. It's very uncomfortable looking, and I can tell that Ai Seng is just going along with it. She eventually pulls away and he reverses the van and I get inside.

The whole time I'm talking to this guy, I get the feeling that he is very manipulative, and keeps trying to control Ai Seng and make her do things that she doesn't want to (not serious things, but little things). He also keeps calling her pet-names like "cutie pie" and I remember thinking "please stop before I'm sick".

After a few minutes in the van he starts asking where my house is, and when I tell him he says "I can drop you at the train station instead, how about that?" He says it in a joking manner, but I can tell he really doesn't want to take me all of the way back home.

The only other thing I remember is talking in the van, and saying that I hate the winter and want to go somewhere warm like Australia for a few of the coldest months here. I say that I could work there, and Ai Seng totally doesn't get it, and says something like "Yeah you could maybe work in HR or something." I have to explain that I can work on my business anywhere that has internet.

Prison Exercise Yard

Tags: Zen

I dreamt that I was in prison with Yu Lee's little brother, Zen.

It was time to go to the exercise yard for some kind of physical training, but when we got there Zen said that he'd forgotten his bag and left the yard to get it. As soon as he walked out the guy doing the training approached him and started having a go at him, telling him he couldn't return to his cell to get his stuff.

When I noticed what was going on I went to defend him and started having a go at the trainer. He turned round and started explaining to me how he couldn't just let prisoners do whatever they wanted and go anywhere as they are criminals and they might commit a crime. I didn't want to agree with him but he explained it so calmly and seemed very reasonable. I remember thinking that he seemed like a kind man.

This is all I remember.

Camera Shoe

Tags: Yu Lee Zen

I only remember this dream vaguely, but I was with Yu Lee and Zen and we were away somewhere. For some reason I wanted to buy a watch with a built in video camera, but when we went out to buy one I couldn't find any that I liked. Then I saw some shoes with a built in video camera, so I thought I'd buy those instead.

The first couple of pairs that I looked at had a camera raised up on the top, but mostly the camera was really big and they seemed to be poor quality. Then I found some really weird shoes, where the right shoe had a camera underneath the sole of the shoe. This meant that when you walked along, you had a camera underneath the ball of your right foot, and had to walk with you toes raised up.

We talked about it for a while, and in the end I decided to buy this pair of shoes. I paid for them and wore them out of the shop.

On the way back there was a large crowd of people as far as the eye could see, walking slowly in the same direction as us and completely filling the pavement and spilling off of it into the road. We walked on the road next to them and were walking faster than them.

I remember finding it hard to walk in my weird shoes, but for some reason I wanted to record this on video.

The last thing I remember is walking next to a black man with short curly hair. We were walking at the same speed, and I didn't notice him at first, but then he held my hand and said 'hello'. I immediately took off and caught up with the rest of the group. Then I woke up to Yu Lee kissing me on the cheek.

Posh Restaurant

Tags: Stefan Yu Lee Zen

I don't remember the full narrative of this dream, but I remember some parts of it vividly.

We are in Cambridge. I'm with Yu Lee and quite a few other members of her family. We decide to eat in a restaurant that we have never tried before, and we enter into an entrance hall where an Indian looking man is sitting on a chair by himself. A member of staff leads us through from the hallway into a kind of waiting room, where we sit on chairs and wait to be allowed into the main part of the restaurant.

In the waiting room is another guy who seems to be sleeping on a chair. As we enter the room some existing guests are told to "come through into the dining room."

I don't remember everything that happened while we were waiting, but I remember at some point Yu Lee's dad had some food, and he was trying to be funny, eating it in a disgusting and exaggerated way, shovelling it into his mouth and sucking the food off of his fingers afterwards. I looked at Yu Lee's brother and he was horrified and embarrassed of his dad's showing off.

At some point, the member of staff who showed us in says "Sir, would you like to come through to the dining room," to the man who was asleep on the chair. He got up and so did the Indian guy from the hallway and they went to their table. I remember thinking "Ah, so they were together." I also remember thinking that maybe only one set of people are ever eating at a time, and that is why we are waiting so long.

I also remember eating a big bag of sweets. I knew I would have to eat soon, but they were so juicy and tasty and I was so hungry, and as I was eating them I could feel my mouth filling up with saliva and sugary fruit flavour.

The next part was really just my mind wandering. I was thinking about the restaurant, and the guy that owned it. I was wondering if he was as pompous as the waiting staff, and if he wore a suit. Then I heard music and could see it being performed, and then I was wondering who wrote the music, and it came to my mind that I thought it was the same guy that owned the restaurant, and was half surprised when I found out that it was.

As I said, my mind was just wandering over a series of related thoughts and images.

At that point I faded back into my waking body, and the first thing I remember doing was having to drink the mouthful of saliva that had accumulated in my mouth! Yum!

Sleepover with Paul Francis

Paul Francis (from my school) and another dream character, either Rod (from my school) or Zen (my girlfriend's brother) were sleeping over at my house. Paul was being a dick just like he is in real life, and he kept pushing his luck and winding me up. I'm sure I hit him at some point, and once he did a horrible burp in my face so I spat in his face and he seemed to get the message to leave me alone.

At some point during the dream he gave me a t-shirt.

We were just about to go to sleep at around midnight, when Zen / Rod's phone rings and it's someone asking him if he wants to play table tennis outside. He asks if I want to come and I say "obviously not" and he disappears outside.

As we are about to go to bed I ask Paul if he want's me to find a blanket for him. He says "I'll just have the duvet" and I tell him it's not here because me and Yu Lee just got back off holiday. He says "Ok I'll have this then" and points to a throw-over on the back of an arm chair. I tell him he can use that, but if he wants a blanket to ask me and I'll find one for him.

I'm sure that when I woke up the dream had progressed and I was dreaming about something completely different.

Building a Computer

I was dreaming about building a computer with Yu Lee's brother.

Arsenal Watch

Tags: Zen

I only remember a very small fraction of this dream, and I didn't remember that upon waking, but it came back to me a few minutes afterwards when I was laying in bed.

I'm pretty sure that most of this dream was about Zen. I think we were trying to play a computer game together but one of us was always busy. The only specific part that I remember was the following:

I am in London, at Ai Seng's house. Zen is staying there too and for some reason I had asked Zen if I could borrow a watch. He gave me a red Arsenal watch that was pretty strange. It was a big red plastic rectangular watch, and it had 2 watch faces side by side. The one on the left showed the current time and the one of the right seemed to be stuck on a certain time.

I went for a nap, and when I woke up I wasn't sure if it was the afternoon and I'd just woken from a nap, of if it was the evening and I'd just woken up in the night.

I look at the watch and it says that the time is about 1 o'clock which I think doesn't make sense as I remember going to sleep in the mid afternoon.

I ask Zen "Is it AM or PM?" and he says that it's PM. For some reason I think that this means it has gone past midnight and I tell him that I can't understand how I slept until this late.

Zen takes a look at the watch and tells me that I am looking at the wrong face. He explains that I have been looking at the face on the right which is for keeping track of the score of a football match, and demonstrates that pressing one of the buttons causes one of the hands on that face to advance. As I look down at the watch I realise that the left face says 6 o'clock which makes a lot more sense!
