There is some kind of disaster, and I have to go into a building that is falling apart to rescue someone.

I arrive at the building which turns out to be a block of flats, and once inside I realise that the man I'm supposed to rescue is a few floors up, but that the normal way of getting to his floor has been destroyed. I don't remember if the building is on fire or just crumbling, but everything is a mess and it's difficult to navigate.

I end up going to the floor above him and going through one of the rooms and out onto a balcony. I climb over the railing and drop down into the balcony below.

As soon as I land on the balcony I see the guy I'm looking for and tell him that we have to get out of here. I go to climb back up onto the balcony of the floor above but the man tells me that he doesn't know how to climb up, so I talk him through what I'm doing. I climb up onto the railing and quickly grab hold of the ceiling of the balcony. Then I carefully reach out and grab the railing of the balcony above and pull myself up. (As if I could do that in real life!)

The man is scared but he has no option, and although it takes him a while longer than me, eventually he manages to pull himself up onto the balcony above.

When we go back inside, the building is even more of a mess and there is a real sense of urgency to get out. We head straight for the stairs, but on our way there we come across a room with the door open and piles of rubble everywhere. I stop for a moment as I notice a small child cowering between the piles of rubble.

I tell the man that I need to go and get the child, and I don't remember whether he waits for me or leaves on his own. I climb over the mass of rubble and make my way to the child, and talk him out of his hiding place. He's holding a Game Boy and doesn't want to leave without it, so I quickly look around and find some more Game Boy cartridges and gather them all up and put them in my pockets. I remember that one of them was a Game Boy Camera, like I used to have when I was a kid.

We leave the room just in time. The room collapses and rubble comes crashing down as we make our way out of the building.

Yu Lee and I are at Bob and Steph's house, visiting them, and there are a couple of other people there too. I'm not sure how the conversation gets onto it but we are talking about sex. I don't remember much of the conversation, but I remember Bob telling me some very personal things about their sex life.

After talking for a while Yu Lee and I go upstairs to the bedroom that we are staying in so that we can put our stuff away. For some reason, Yu Lee decides that now would be a good time to have sex, so we get undressed and get into the bed. Yu Lee is being really loud, talking loudly and bouncing around on the bed. I tell her to be a bit more discreet and she says that the others won't mind as we were just talking about it.

I am totally not in the mood as I'm busy trying to get her to be quiet. We never actually have sex in the end.

I my dream I'm at someone else's house, although I have no clue who's house it is. In some parts of the dream it seems that I forget this and think of it as my own house, but overall there is a definite feeling of being somewhere else.

Wine

The first part of the dream is the only part where I remember it as being our house. It is either my birthday or Christmas, and for some reason my next door neighbours have dropped round a bottle of wine as a present. When I get the bottle of wine out of the gift bag it's clear that it's been opened already, and for some reason I'm convinced that they've refilled the bottle with a different kind of wine. There is a hand written tag tied around the neck of the bottle which says something like "Give it a go, and if you don't like it, try a different one!"

I open the bottle and taste it, and it's a very fruity, light bodied red wine. It's not what I would normally drink, and it tastes cheap, but it's definitely drinkable.

Watching a Video

The next thing I remember is sitting on a sofa in front of a widescreen TV. I'm with Stefan, and we want to watch some kind of video (possibly a movie) together. The video is on a tablet (computer) and I have connected it to the TV with a HDMI cable, and I'm trying to get it to play properly through the TV. The video is working but there is not sound coming out of the speakers.

As I'm trying to get it working, Stefan keeps turning the volume up on the tablet so that it plays out of the tablet speakers, and I keep on having to take it off of him and turn it back down. I explain to him that I want to watch it through the TV but he doesn't get it.

After a lot of fiddling around I manage to get it to play out of the TV speakers, but Stefan is still staring at the screen of the tablet.

"Why are you doing that? Don't you want to watch it on the big screen?" I ask him.

"I dunno, it's just easier."

Play Fighting

I am sitting on the floor next to a coffee table and there is a young girl there with us, probably about 12 years old. We are messing around and start play fighting, but I think I hurt her and stop. It suddenly occurs to me that she is so much weaker than me that I have to really hold back or I will hurt her.

Initially she is upset, but then she gets over it. She's watching TV and I grab the remote control and turn it off to see what her reaction is. She immediately jumps on me and starts play fighting again and I'm relieved that she's not still upset. This time I don't try to win!

Cats and Dogs

The last thing I remember is sitting in the front room (the room with the coffee table) and there is a dog with us. At this point I'm pretty sure that the owner of the house is away and we are house sitting for them.

I walk out towards the kitchen to make a drink, and as I get to the hallway I see a cat coming down the stairs. I think to myself "I didn't realise they had a cat," as the cat walks out towards the back of the house.

It's the summer and the house is really warm so all of the doors and windows are open. Yu Lee is outside in the garden.

I see the cat walk out of the patio doors and into the garden, and all of a sudden I realise what is about to happen and everything goes into slow motion. The cat dashes out into the garden and at the same time the dog runs towards the window in the living room and jumps out. I can't see what's happening but I can hear it, and I can see Yu Lee's face as she look at it.

I hear a terrible noise as the dog grabs hold of the cat, and then I hear another noise over and over again as the dog is shaking the cat in its jaws. Yu Lee is in shocked and just watching with her mouth hanging open.

The noise goes on for quite a few seconds (that seem like an eternity), and then all of a sudden a part of the cat comes flying off, into the house and hits me. I'm disgusted by what's just happened.

This is the last thing I remember before waking up.

I dreamt that I was playing a computer game, and in the game the ocean had been drained of water. I was at one edge of the sea bed, at the foot of a slope which would have once lead up to the beach. In front of me was a strange city with many towers and buildings that resembled something between mushrooms, sea shells and stalagmites.

The city was made of a dark blue, stone-like material, and the sea bed was also a dark blue-grey colour. I could see far into the distance as there was nothing on the sea floor, and in the distance I could see the rocky slope of another coast line.

The theme of this dream was illness.

In the first part of this dream, I'm staying at a house with several other people. One of the others is staying in the basement, and shortly after he goes down to his room I hear him being sick. I tell one of the other people in the house and he goes down to investigate. I hear them start talking and then they seem to be just hanging out.

A while later, when I see the guy who went down to check on him I ask him what happened. He tells me that the first guy was violently sick all over the concrete floor, and then they were just hanging out down there.

All I can think of is the mess, and how it will be soaking into the concrete and difficult to clean up. I can't understand why they are just leaving it there.

In the next part that I remember, Yu Lee and I are out in the city centre, doing some shopping. In the dream world, the city has two major sections: a lower section and an upper section. We take the escalator up to the higher section, and as we are arriving at the top we hear an announcement.

"All children in the upper district are being evacuated due to an illness. The illness is highly contagious and transmitted through touch. Do not touch any children in the upper district or you are likely to fall into a coma." (Or words to that effect.)

I have a bit of a moan to Yu Lee about foreigners bringing their diseases to the city as we push through the crowds of people. There are a lot of children about, and it's quite hard not to bump into them as it's so crowded, so after a while we decide to head back down and get out of the city centre.

Later, we have gotten out of the city centre and are on a busy main road (similar to East Road in Cambridge). I ask Yu Lee why we're walking this way as it's not really the way home, but she basically dodges the question and doesn't answer it.

A few minutes later we come to a large shop. I can't remember the name of the shop, but it has lots of different types of things in it for your home, like a slightly more upmarket version of Wilkinson's.

"So this is why you were taking us this way!" I say as I figure out that this was the plan all along. I never want to go in these kinds of shops, and Yu Lee tricked me into coming here!

When we enter the shop, there is an entryway with glass doors and a few items on display, and then some stairs down into the rest of the shop. In the entryway I notice a skateboard, quite a large eighties style board, and although it was probably propped up on something, it looks like someone has put it down in the middle of the floor so that someone will step on it and slip down the stairs. We step round the skateboard and head downstairs.

When we get near the bottom of the stairs there are two large stacks of clothes, mainly jeans, blocking the way forward. There is another customer at the bottom who looks puzzled as to the way out. After a couple of seconds of trying to squeeze past the piles of clothes, a store assistant comes over and moves the pile. He has a distinctly unimpressed look on his face.

Once the shop assistant has moved the clothes we push past the other customer and into the shop.

I am in bed with Yu Lee and Yu Lee is awake but I'm still half asleep. She is trying to wake me up so I can give her a cuddle.

Yu Lee is pushing and shaking me playfully to try to wake me up but I am resisting so that I can sleep a little longer. As I resist her play fighting I kind of roll on top of her, and at that moment she pushed quite hard with her feet and the force is just enough to push me off of the foot of the bed.

I spring to my feet and walk away from the bed and start putting my clothes on.

"Come back and give me a cuddle!" she says playfully.

"You pushed me out of bed so I'm up now," I reply to her, clearly annoyed.

For most of this dream I was with Steve Till, which is odd because he isn't someone I've ever really hung out with.

The first part of the dream that I remember was running some kind of errand with him. He had to go and pick something up in his car and he had a really weird satellite navigation system with a large screen and a mouse. While he was driving around, steering with his right hand, he was also using the mouse for his sat-nav with his left hand. I remember turning a corner and thinking "How can he steer right and move the mouse left at the same time without getting confused?"

A while later we were at his house, in his bedroom, sat on the floor doing something with some kind of computer. I can't remember exactly what we were doing but it was taking a while. The main thing I remember about his bedroom is that is wasn't particularly tidy, and there were clothes on the floor (in real life, the only time I've been in his house it was immaculate so I don't know where that came from either).

The last thing I remember is that Yu Lee was there too and was tired so he let her lay down in his bed. He left the room and I was chatting to Yu Lee, and then I was laying in the bed with her too. He came back in and I said "We should really get up now."

I dreamt that I'd just quit my job to become a freelancer full time.

The day after I'd quit my job I went to Spain to stay with my dad and step mum. I got there just before lunch time, and although it was still the winter it was lovely and warm outside, and everything seemed to have a warm golden glow about it. Also, instead of living inland, my dad lived very close to the coast, only a few minutes walk from the beach.

I'd pretty much just arrived and I wanted to do something, but Dad and Sue weren't interested in doing anything. My dad suggested that I go and walk along the beach and take advantage of the nice weather. It was supposed to be my first day of freelancing, but I didn't have much work on so I thought I could spend the afternoon there if I wanted to. I started to get ready to go out, basically looking for my phone and my sandals.

As I was getting my things together I was fantasising about arriving at the beach. I was going to take a picture of my self with the sunny sky and the beach in the background, and send it to one of my work mates and say something like "My first day as a contractor," but as is often the way in my dreams, as much as I searched around the house, I couldn't find my sandals!

I dreamt that I was back in Slough, visiting my mum. For some reason I was out somewhere with my ex-girlfriend Lauryn's family.

I don't remember much about most of the day, for example I can't remember where we were, but I'm pretty sure we were doing something and it involved having a few drinks.

Lauryn's parents took me back to her house, and when I got in her parents had to go somewhere and I was alone with her little sister, Jade. She was exactly the same as she used to be and was still only 12 years old.

I asked her what she thought of the new house. I told her that I'd only been round a couple of times after they moved, and I thought it was better than their old house, especially the kitchen. She told me she didn't remember the old kitchen and I described it to her, but the kitchen that I described sounded suspiciously like the kitchen in my first house!

The whole thing about them moving was something that was made up in my dream.

A little while later Lauryn's dad gets back home, followed shortly afterwards by her mum. Her dad is drinking a lot. I think he was drinking beer at first, although I don't remember clearly, but I definitely remember him drinking vodka out of a bottle towards the end of the dream. The bottle was unlike any brand of vodka I've ever seen though: it was made out of dark brown glass and had a hexagonal cross-section and looked kind of like an antique.

We chatted for a while in the front room, and I carried on drinking too. I asked Lauryn's dad the same question I asked Jade: "What do you think of the new house?"

He commented on the fact that it wasn't new any more and I asked how long they'd lived there. He told me "fifteen years," and we talked about how it must have been nearly fifteen years ago that I was last there.

The final thing I remember talking about was money. He was telling me that he lends money to people and makes interest on it as some kind of investment. This conversation slowly evolved into talking about the future and what they would like to do, and Lauryn's mum said "I'd really like to get rid of one of the cars and be a single car family."

I agreed with her that it would be better (and cheaper) to have a single car, but then an argument broke out between them, with Lauryn's dad arguing about how ridiculous it would be to share a car.

A while later I told them I was going to call a taxi so that I could go back to my mum's house. Lauryn's dad looked at me and said, "Do you want me to drive you half way, to Sainsbury's?" but I started laughing and told him I didn't. It was obvious that I didn't accept his lift because he was drinking vodka straight out of a bottle.

Throughout this whole dream, Lauryn was not in it once (that I remember). I only dreamt about her house and her family.

I am at my mum's old house at York Avenue. We are outside in the garden, and the weather is starting to change from sunshine to rain. The rain gets heavy really quickly so we all head inside.

Once inside, we watch the weather out of the kitchen window and say that something doesn't seem quite right. Then we look up at the clouds and notice that the storm seems to be coming from one spot in the sky, and at this point there is a vortex of spinning clouds.

We watch the vortex for a while, and it seems to be growing and moving faster, and as it does so the clouds seem to thicken all around it and the rain comes down even faster. Then, all of a sudden a light appears at the centre of the vortex, growing brighter as we look at it.

After a minute or so another light appears on the other side of the sky. This time there is no vortex, and the light gets brighter and brighter until it comes out of the bottom of the cloud and into view. It looks like a unicorn made of light.

The unicorn heads towards the vortex and starts firing beams of energy into it, then the light from the vortex drops below the cloud layer and seems to be some kind of spaceship. It returns fire and the two objects battle for a while until the light from the vortex is destroyed. The vortex quickly disappears and then the clouds retreat, and the weather is bright and sunny as before. The unicorn flies off into the distance.

A while later, probably the next day, I'm standing in the hallway with my friend Mike from my school. I look in the sky and see more strange lights and tell him we should go outside and investigate. We step out into the garden and I watch the lights for a while, which this time look like sprites from an old computer game.

After a while Mike tells me that he doesn't see anything. I realise that this time I was making it up and that really there is nothing there. Mike tells me that what I saw the other day was incredible, but I can't expect to see things like that every day.
