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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Leaving Do in Spain / Pops

We are in Spain for some kind of work-related leaving do. I'm not sure exactly where I work in my dream as most of the other people are not from any job that I've had, and the main dream character that I remember from this part of the dream is Mrs Oxley from my school (and I honestly have no idea why I would dream of her in particular).

In the first part of my dream we were going to bars and restaurants, and I'm sure some stuff happened but I don't really remember it now. The part that I really remember clearly is from the end of my dream.

After we're finished with our leaving do, I decide to go and visit my dad. When I get there, as well as my Dad and Sue being there, my nan and Pops are there and Pops is still alive, although I don't notice this as being unusual.

I walk up to him and say "Hi Pops" and he replies "How are you doing Stevie Boy?" which is not really something he would have said. His voice is not quite right, and his face is not exactly the same as it used to be, but I know it's still my Pops and I'm happy to see him.

He says something to me, and I don't remember exactly what it was but it was a reference to something that had happened in the past, and whatever he said wasn't quite right, but was in the right direction. Then he said "You see, I've still got a good memory, haven't I?"

"When he's got any memory at all," Nan says sarcastically.

I walk right up to him and put my arms around him and suddenly realise that I haven't seen him for a long time, and say "I miss you."

"What do you miss about me?" he replies. I start to think about all of the things that I miss about seeing him when I was little: about going for walks in the fields out the back of his house, messing around with the tools in his shed, playing board games, but I can't decide which one to say. I'm suddenly overcome by sadness and start to cry.

Then I wake up in my bedroom.

Rome

Tags: Carlos

In my dream I am still working at WorldPay, and for some reason the whole team has gone to Rome. I don't remember the first part of the dream very clearly, but we go to some kind of bar / restaurant.

I'm sitting at a table and Carlos is sitting next to me. I remember talking to him in Spanish whenever we were on our own and reverting back to English whenever other people are around. I don't remember everything that we talked about but I do remember talking to him about wanting to have children.

We're sitting there and drinking, and the conversation changes to the topic of drunk people. The others are saying that there is a local tradition that when someone is sick from drinking too much, they make them drink the vomit! I tell them to change the subject because it is disgusting and making me feel sick, but they carry on talking about it so I decide to go for a walk.

The streets are in really bad condition and almost look like a war zone. There are lots of areas where the pavement is missing and there are large potholes and sections with boards covering large holes in the ground. There are a lot of people around and I'm constantly having to push through the crowd.

I turn a few corners and bump into some work people. There are two sets of two or three people that have just bumped into each other, and I have met them at the same time. I stop to talk to them, and they are talking about going for a drink somewhere, but I realise that the two groups are talking to each other and not really talking to me so I move on.

I walk around for quite a while and feel slightly nervous about being on my own in a foreign country. Eventually I end up back at the restaurant where we started and sit down again next to Carlos.

After I've been sitting there for just a couple of minutes they tell me that they've eaten and are going now. I remember saying to Carlos that I thought this was a waste of time coming here for lunch and the I was happy wherever we were before.

A Young Girlfriend

I dreamt that I was in a relationship with a girl who was much younger than I am, probably around 18 years old. I'm pretty sure that at the start of my dream I wasn't married to Yu Lee, but at the end of the dream I was.

I remember two things distinctly about this dream. The first was that I was staying at the girl's house (she lived with her parents) and I had to sleep in a separate room because her dad wouldn't let us stay together.

The second thing I remember was at the end of the dream, realising that me and Yu Lee were married and that I had to break it off with this girl. It was tricky because I cared for her and didn't want to upset her.

Bees

The main thing I remember in this dream is trying to dispose of a beehive in someone's garden.

We removed the beehive from a fence and quickly put it in the wheelie bin, and were surprised how easy it was and that none of the bees came out. Then we decided that we couldn't just have a wheelie bin full of bees, so I got a watering can and poured it on the beehive. I started to push the wheelie bin down the other end of the garden, and then all of a sudden I heard a buzzing noise as the bees started to leave the hive and surround me.

The main thing I remember thinking is that next time I would move the bin first and then pour in the water!

Leaving my Work and Moving to Cambridge

Tags: Mum

In my dream I was still working at WorldPay, but WorldPay is in Slough and my mum was living in Cambridge. I was staying with my mum who was living in an enormous house and sharing it with some other people, and I only had a couple of days left at WorldPay.

I remember it was the morning, and I was supposed to have breakfast and then drive back to Slough to go to work. For some reason, I kept on getting delayed and was going to be very late. We were talking about what I was going to do and I was saying that maybe I'd just leave work early anyway, despite arriving so late.

The main thing I seemed to be concerned about was getting back in time for a nap! Mum was saying that I could take the keys to York Avenue and sleep there if I wanted to, but I said that I didn't want to and would prefer to just come back to Cambridge and sleep here.

I remember saying "Everyone else goes for a beer every Friday lunchtime and takes an extra hour on their lunch break, but I don't, so I work an extra hour to each of them. I'm entitled to leave early if I want to because I've worked extra. Well maybe 'entitled' is not the right word, but you know what I mean."

Before I left to go to work I needed to go to the toilet, so I went into the bathroom but one of the other ladies that shared the house with Mum (who had some small children) was in there. I looked at her and she was just standing there, and she said "Don't mind me" and pointed to the toilet, signalling that I should just go ahead and use it.

I walked up to the toilet and it was really weird. It was made of plastic, and didn't seem to be plumbed into anything. I remember thinking that I wasn't sure if it was a toilet or a potty, but it was the shape of a real toilet and had a flush and a seat, it was just a bit smaller and made of plastic. Also, the bathroom didn't look like a bathroom at all, and was a large carpeted room with no sink or bath, and just this small plastic toilet at one end.

I unzipped and started going to the toilet, and then I started to get an erection. I remember thinking "Why does this have to happen when I'm peeing with the lady in the same room as me?" and trying to bend over forwards so that I could aim it in the toilet. It was getting worse and I had to lean right forward and lean on the wall to keep peeing in the bowl.

The lady asked me if I was alright (I guess she didn't know why I was bending forward like that) and I said "yes," but then the door opened and one of my friends came in and I felt really embarrassed.
