I'm with an older woman who is related to me in some way. It feels like she is a close relative, but is definitely not my mum.

For some reason, the lady is helping me set up a website for my business. We had decided to use "Browns" as the name of our business, and the lady tells me that she has got us two really good domain names: browns.de and another European country specific domain.

I argue with her for a while about how I don't want to have a .de domain because people will think we are a German company (and for some reason I keep referring to Germany as "Deutschland"), and I tell her that I've already got a much better domain name that we can use. She tells me that I must register for the two domains that she's found, otherwise someone else will register them and steal our business.

She shows me an order form for the two domains, and puts it in an envelope and hands it to me. She tells me I have to go and post it so that we can order the domains. I go downstairs and am actually quite annoyed by her interfering, and rant a little bit about it to the people downstairs. Then I rip the letter into shreds and put it in the dustbin.

I go over to my computer and my website is on the screen. I look at the address bar and it says "brownonlinesolutionslimited.com" and I suddenly think to myself that maybe it's not such a good domain name after all.

The only other thing I remember about this dream is calling my ex-girlfriend, Lauryn, on the telephone. I talk to her for a while, and then I stop getting a reply. I say into the phone "You've fallen asleep, haven't you?" I hang up and call her back, hoping that the ringtone will wake her up, but this time she doesn't answer at all and I wonder what's happened to her.

In my dream we are on holiday in China, although it's more like it's "supposed" to be China but most aspects of it are really like Spain. I'm on holiday with Yu Lee and Ai Seng, and for some reason I have gone off on my own. I think I bumped into someone and started having a conversation in Spanish and they told me that they would meet me in the main square.

I talk to a Spanish lady on a boat in the river for a while. After a couple of minutes I feel like I should go back and meet up with the others so I make an excuse and leave, but on my way back I bump into someone else and have another conversation, until I make another excuse and leave again.

When I make it back to the square I easily find Ai Seng and Yu Lee and they are doing something, looking at the buildings and taking notes. I tell them that I ended my conversation by saying that I had to meet with Ai Seng for dinner.

The next thing I remember is going to get some dim sum. The others tell me that there are two places that sell excellent dumplings, and that they both sell exactly the same dumplings but one of them is significantly cheaper than the other. I ask why there's such a difference in price and they tell me that one place is basically posher and knows how to sell them better.

We enter the cheaper of the two dim sum restaurants and it's massive inside, more like a banquet hall than a restaurant. I don't remember seeing Ai Seng or Yu Lee for the rest of the dream, but there is a man with me and a couple of other boys who I assume are his sons.

At the front of the hall is a stage, and on the stage is a man with a microphone and a couple of other guys who I assume are just people visiting the restaurant. The guy with the microphone gives some dumplings to the other men and then asks them what they think of them. The men both say that the dumplings are delicious, and the host asks them if they are as good as the other dim sum restaurant. The whole thing seems really uncomfortable and I think to myself, "no wonder this restaurant is cheaper than the other one." The whole thing is a farce and makes the restaurant appear cheap and tacky.

While we are waiting in the queue the man who's with us starts to get agitated, saying that we look scruffy and that it's disrespectful to the locals. His sons have long hair and he makes them tie it up and makes them tuck their t-shirts into their trousers. He comes up to me and starts tucking my hair in behind my ears and trying to "neaten" me up.

By now he's getting really angry and a lot of the other people in the restaurant are looking at us. I look around and don't think the other people are particularly smart and can't understand why he's being like this.

Next he tries to make me tuck my t-shirt into my trousers and I finally snap and get really angry. I flick my hair out from behind my ears and put it back how it was at the start and ask him why he's doing this. I tell him that we all look ridiculous with our hair and t-shirts tucked in, and that nobody is dressed particularly smartly or cares how we are dressed.

At that moment a waiter walks past so I get his attention and ask him what the dress code is. He looks at me, with a distinctly "not amused" expression on his face and says "do whatever this man wants please, so that he can shut up."

I turn to the man who's with us again and raise my voice a little, arguing about why he always does this. I feel very frustrated that he gets so angry about silly things like this.

At this point I woke up with my heart pounding.

I really don't remember much of this dream, but there were several people with me and we were having some kind of Spanish lesson.

In the class we'd had a competition to see who could find the quickest way of saying something, and I came second. After the competition I asked the teacher a question about my answer, and why I couldn't phrase it in a different, slightly shorter way. She told me that I could and I got annoyed with her because I'd only written it the longer way, and therefore lost the competition, because originally she'd told me I couldn't do it the shorter way.

I don't remember much of this dream, but me and Yu Lee had just bought a new house and were getting some work done on it before we moved in. The house was single storey and had two bedrooms, one of which was about an average sized double bedroom and the other was pretty big and had an on-suite bathroom.

Yu Lee had pretty much decided that we were going to sleep in the smaller of the two rooms. The building work was mainly being done on the bedrooms, and after the builders had finished for the day I went to look at the two rooms. I couldn't understand why Yu Lee would want to sleep in the smaller room because the bigger one was clearly better.

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.

I really don't remember a lot of details of this dream at all.

I was at my mum's old house at York Avenue. I don't remember seeing my mum in the dream at all, but Bob was there. For some reason we had a long discussion about moving our stuff out of the house, and the conclusion of our conversation was that we would pack all of our stuff up into boxes and put them into storage.

Later I get a load of boxes and start packing my things up, and I also pack a lot of things that were both of ours. Bob comes downstairs and sees my putting things in boxes and gets very angry with me, and says that I'd agreed that we would put our stuff into storage in a couple of weeks' time. I tell him that the place is a mess and I just want to get on and do it but he is really angry.

That's all I remember.

I remember a lot of vague fragments of this dream.

• Yu Lee and I weren't living together, but apart from that our situation was still the same.
• I'm sure I spoke to Yu Lee at some point in the dream, either in person or on the phone.
• I remember getting a phone call from Carlos and talking to him for a while, and then the sound quality got really bad and I had to hang up.
• I remember driving to a car park. I think someone was giving me directions, and I ended up parking in Homebase's car park which was completely empty because it was the evening.
• I remember going into work (WorldPay?) and someone said "Someone's been drinking haven't they?" I felt a bit offended because I'd only had half a bottle of beer and was still in a fit state to drive.

The part of my dream that I remember most clearly was (as usual) at the end of my dream. I was living in a house share with 2 or 3 other people, and one of them was an Italian lady who was teaching me Italian. She wasn't anybody I knew from real life, but the way she acted was similar to my Italian teacher, although she looked nothing like her and was a bit overweight.

It was evening, and I'd just arrived back at home. The Italian lady was in the corner of the hallway and had just hung up the telephone. I had a question so I approached her and tried to explain it in Italian, but I didn't know all of the words. I tried to guess how to say whatever it was by adapting the Spanish words to Italian pronunciation (a trick that works pretty well in reality!) but I'd obviously not got it quite right, and she stopped me half way through speaking to correct me.

Before she'd finished correcting me she stopped mid-sentence, came in close to me and said in a half-whisper "Whatever happens between you and me is our secret. You don't have to worry that I'll tell anyone."

As she said it a series of images flashed through my mind of what she was implying, and then I thought of Yu Lee and thought that it was definitely not something I wanted to pursue.

I dreamt that I was back at my mum's house at 35 York Avenue. My mum was somewhere around the house, possibly in the kitchen, and I was in the living room with Ben. Ben was drinking something alcoholic.

At one point Ben was sick a little bit in his mouth, but it wasn't like normal vomit: there was a big lump of something hard and it was poking out of his mouth a little bit. He put his finger up to his mouth and pushed it back in and swallowed it. I was pretty disgusted by this, and my mum came in just afterwards, so I decided to leave Ben in the living room with my mum and go up to my room before things got any worse.

I'd only been in my room for a couple of minutes when I heard him being sick. Somehow I knew he'd been sick on the ceiling…

I don't remember much from the first part of the dream, but I'm pretty sure that I was missing the sun, just as I am in real life. I decided that the only way to fix this was to go and visit a hot country so Yu Lee and I went to UAE (United Arab Emirates) to get soak up the sunshine. I have no idea why I'd go there in my dream because it's certainly not somewhere I plan on visiting in real life!

We could basically take our pick of where to visit so we looked on the map and picked a spot at random. The map of UAE in my dream was actually a map of Saudi Arabia, but I guess that's pretty close really!

I'm not sure how we get there but the next thing I remember is arriving at the beach. When we got there the beach was full of westerners, mainly other English people. I remember being surprised that there were no locals there at all and thinking that it felt comfortable as I know exactly how to act around other English people.

It was really hot on the beach. The main thought going through my head was that I didn't want to get sunburnt, and the first thing we did when we got there was to put on a load of sun cream. After that we decided to go for a wander around and we also wanted to find a place that we'd seen on the internet where there were a series of giant stepping stones in the water. We asked one of the other tourists where the stepping stones were and he told us that they were not at the beach and were a short way up a river. We looked on the map and the river was miles away, so instead we decided to go back to our hotel.

The hotel was quite odd. It was a single storey building that was split up into a number of apartments. Each room was more or less like a self contained flat, but they weren't very big and it felt like a lot of people were crammed into a small space.

In the room was a small black remote control with a red button on either side. I was curious as to what it did so I pressed the buttons together, and as soon as I did so a little symbol with a red flame on it lit up on the remote and the fire alarm went off.

I was totally surprised by the reaction I got. Firstly I wasn't expecting it to set off the alarm, but even more surprising was the reaction of all of the people in the apartment building. Everyone dropped what they were doing and started to run around, and the receptionist was screaming "We've got a fire! I know it's a real one because someone's manually set off their alarm!"

Someone came into our room and I told them that I didn't mean to set the alarm off so they helped me disable it. Everyone went back to what they were doing before and the receptionist seemed to be very angry with me. The man who'd disabled my alarm explained to me how it worked, and he said if you disable it within a second the alarm won't go off, and then he proceeded to press the buttons so that the symbol lit up again and then immediately pressed them again deactivating it. He did this a couple of times and each time I did it my heart skipped a beat at the thought of the alarm going off again.
