Wild Dogs

I'm not really sure where this dream took place or what everyone was doing, but there were quite a few people around and it seemed to be some kind of social event. We were all outside, and at one end of the venue was what looked like a brick built shed. Inside the shed was a massive column, and a large doorway into a larger building.

When I stepped inside the shed, I saw that Chris Barnett (someone I knew at school) was there, standing outside the doorway. I started a conversation with him and he told me that he works inside the big building, but today the office is closed so he is standing outside.

While we were talking more people came in and started talking to him. From that point on, every time I asked him something, someone would interrupt and change the topic of conversation. This continued for quite a while.

At some point quite a while later, I left the building and did something. On my way back to the shed, while I was walking up the garden, I suddenly heard a noise and looked around to see some dogs running up the path at me. They were black and looked a lot like rottweilers, and there were two small (relatively speaking) ones and a large one. The small ones were slightly smaller than a normal dog, and I knew they were puppies, and the larger one was pretty big and a bit of a monster!

The dogs ran at me, and when they got near me the two puppies didn't seem to know what to do with me and circled me, but the big one charged at me and rammed me with its head. I was starting to get scared and knew I couldn't out run them, and I was worried that they were going to bite me.

The big dog ended up behind me and was ramming the back of my legs with its head, and I'm not quite sure how it happened but in the end I let it push my legs out from under me and sat on it! It was really angry and pushing forward, and I was almost riding it like a horse. I remember thinking that it was a really strong animal, and my full weight being on it didn't seem to bother it at all.

I'm not really sure what happened next, but somehow I ended up off of the dog and there was a little distance between us, so I ran into the shed and got there just before the dogs and slammed the door shut behind me. One of the others was helping me barricade the shed door whilst I explained that I'd been attacked by some wild dogs in the garden.

After a few minutes prowling around outside the shed, the dogs lost interest and moved on.

I don't remember a lot more of the dream. The only thing I remember is that I had a wound on my arm with a dressing on it, and for some reason the others were making me re-dress it because I'd been attacked by the dogs. I was protesting because the dogs didn't go anywhere near the wound, but they made me do it anyway.

Teletext Machine

I don't remember much of this dream at all, but I was talking to a dream character about his car. He had an old Vauxhall Nova, and he was telling me that it didn't run on petrol, and was in fact powered by a Teletext machine!

I remember him telling me that it wasn't supposed to power the car, but that those old Teletext machines were so powerful that it had enough energy to drive the car with.

It seemed to make sense at the time...

Testifying for a Guy with a Green "Flute"

In my dream I am living in a small apartment with Yu Lee. I'm not sure about all of the details, but the apartment feels a bit like student accommodation, although I don't think we are students. It's definitely not in a normal block of apartments, and I get the impression that it is in a building where people work or do research.

My apartment is pretty small. From the corridor you come straight into the living room which has a table and four chairs, a two seater sofa and a TV. It's not a very big room and the furniture takes up most of the space.

Out the back of the living room is a tiny hallway. Immediately on the left is a tiny, narrow kitchen, and the next door leads into our bedroom. I can only assume that there is a bathroom somewhere as it never appeared in my dream.

The first thing I remember is getting a visit from a young man with blonde hair, and he tells me that I need to testify in his trial. I don't feel that I have the option of declining: it is a legal requirement that I testify.

He has a very strange musical instrument with him that he tells me is some kind of flute. (It had a funny name, and I felt that it was alien. The dream had a bit of a Star Trek feel to it at this point.) For some reason I had to listen to a recording of some music and testify at his trial that the musical instrument in the recording sounds exactly the same as his instrument.

I agree to do it (not that I felt that declining was an option) and he leaves, telling me that he will return later.

A while later, a group of people turn up at my door. They are people that I have never met before, and to be honest they look a little bit scary. They tell me that they are a surveillance team and have been sent to keep an eye on me whilst I'm involved in the trial. They tell me that they need to take a few things out of my apartment for some reason so I say OK.

While I'm dealing with the 'surveillance team' there is another knock on my door. I ask them if I can answer it and they tell me to go ahead.

This time it is someone to do with my work at the door. He is older than me (in his 40s) and has some kind of document that he needs me to read. While I'm dealing with him the door goes again and two guys are at the door that need to talk to me about something. I tell them to come in and I talk to the original guy again while the two new guys wait in the kitchen.

The door goes a third time, and this time it is the boy who's on trial, and he has brought his flute back to play it for me. I tell him to set up in my bedroom.

The door goes again, and this time it is Christina, Stefan and Alana who have come to visit, unannounced. My tiny apartment is getting a bit crowded now: there is the boy in my bedroom with his flute; two guys in the kitchen waiting for me; the guy from work in the front room with me at the kitchen table; Christina, Stefan, Alana and Yu Lee hanging around by the sofa; and the surveillance team moving in and out and removing items from the apartment.

I ask the work guy if I can go and quickly speak to the others and see what they want, as it's going to take a long time to read his paper (which, by the way, seems to be a pretty long newspaper article and nothing to do with work!).

I go into the bedroom, and the boy with the flute tells me he is ready. I was just intending to pop my head around the door and tell him that I'd be a while, but as he's ready I decide to have a quick listen. He sits there fiddling with the flute, but he still seems to have a bit of setup to do, so I wait and watch what he is doing.

This is the first time that I got a really good look at the flute. It was a large instrument, probably about a metre long, and made from green stone. The mouthpiece was a long tube that you blow into, but the end where the sound comes out was really weird, like a large stone box with a cylindrical hole in the end.

After a few minutes he starts playing it and a weak sound comes out, but I'm too distracted to really pay attention to it. Yu Lee comes to the door and asks if it's OK for her to take Stefan, Christina and Alana out to look at something related to biology and tell her "of course!" By this point I'm stressed at having so many people in the house and glad to get some of them out.

After a couple of minutes I start to get stressed at having so many people in my apartment. The boy is still not playing his flute properly and is having some kind of problem, and is also fiddling with a CD player trying to play a backing track. I tell him I need to pop outside for a breather and walk straight out the front door, leaving all of the people inside.

I leave the building and walk down the street for about five minutes. After that I turn round and start walking back. I notice a black man in a uniform standing about 100 metres away from me. As I start walking back to the building he starts walking backwards, watching me the whole time. I realise that he is there as part of the surveillance team and is keeping an eye on me.

As I get back to the apartment building I see the rest of the surveillance team leaving in a white van. One of them winds down the window and tells me that they told everyone that I'd gone and wasn't coming back today. I feel quite angry that they said that as I was just popping out to get some air.

When I get back inside the apartment it is empty. All of the people have gone, and a lot of my things are missing too, for example the speakers from either side of my TV have been taken. I suddenly feel very alone and wonder where Yu Lee and the others are.

Edit

I remember one more part of my dream, but not where it fit in exactly. I remember walking down a corridor with the guy in his 40s, and I'm not sure how the conversation got onto it but he told me that he plays League of Legends. I asked what champion he likes to play and he said that he plays Nidalee. I asked him if he plays top lane and he said that he does.

Then he went on to tell me that he doesn't understand how to play mid lane and doesn't know what champions can be played in the mid lane and I told him that you could play Veigar.

The other thing I remember is that when I saw that my speakers were missing, I though "Oh no, now we can't watch LCS with the good speakers!"

Eating Out

Tags: Yu Lee

Me and Yu Lee are at home, and we're both starving but haven't organised anything for dinner. I suggest that we should go out to eat but Yu Lee isn't keen on the idea. I'm not sure how, but somehow Yu Lee gets a small wrap with kebab meat and chips inside, which we eat, but afterwards we are still hungry as it was really tiny.

I say again that we should go out to eat and this time Yu Lee says that it's going to rain really heavily and isn't safe to drive. I manage to convince her and go to put my shoes on.

As I am sitting there, trying to get my feet into my shoes, I start to have real difficulties getting them in and get very stressed. Every time I try to push my feet into them the backs of the shoes get caught under my feet and fold down inside the shoes. I get more and more frustrated and eventually end up throwing my shoes across the hallway.

Yu Lee asks if I'm OK and I explain that I can't get my shoes on, and she manages to calm me down and help me to get them on. It starts to rain outside and Yu Lee convinces me to let her drive.

When we get to the restaurant, we realise that it is also a hotel and has rooms available. It is raining more and more heavily outside, so we decide to book into the hotel just in case we can't get back in the rain.

After paying for our room we order a kebab (it is a Turkish / Mediterranean / Middle-Eastern style restaurant) and sit down to eat it. After we've taken just a few bites out of it we decide to quickly pop up to our room and dump our stuff, and then return to the restaurant.

When we get back our food is gone. The waiter sees us waiting by the bar (where we were eating before) and calls us over to a table and disappears out into the kitchen.

By this point we have decided that we just want to get a takeaway and go back home as the rain is dying off. After waiting for a few minutes the waiter comes to take our order, and I order a beer. He says there is a problem with the beer and that he has to go and do something in the cellar, and then he rushes off to sort it out before we get a chance to tell him that we just wanted a takeaway. We are sure that he assumed we are eating in because he knows that we have booked a room for the night.

While the waiter is gone, me and Yu Lee talk about what we are going to do for the rest of the night. We both wanted to leave, but we agree now that we are there so we might as well make the most of it.

After a long time the waiter comes back with my beer. It is in a small brown bottle and is some kind of craft beer. I take a sip and it is a lovely, cold lager with a refreshing and slightly sweet flavour. We start to make our food order when I wake up.

Car and Pipe

Tags: Stefan

I don't remember much of this dream, and wasn't originally going to bother to record it at all.

The first thing I remember was being at a car dealership, trying to buy a new car. The car I was looking at was really weird though, and instead of having a steering wheel had a futuristic control panel instead.

The second thing I remember was going to see Stefan. When I got to his room he was eating something, drinking whiskey and smoking a pipe!

He immediately offered me some. "Have some of this food, and have some of this." He put a bowl of food in front of me, poured me a large whiskey and then passed me his pipe.

I put the pipe to my lips and tried to take some of the smoke into my lungs a few times, but it was really weak. Then I had one last go, and this time the smoke was really thick and strong, and almost felt wet, like I was breathing in a heavy mixture of smoke and water vapour. I found it hard to keep the smoke in my lungs without coughing and was relieved when I'd breathed it all out.

"Are you supposed to inhale it?" I asked him, remembering that I'd read somewhere that you are just supposed to breath pipe smoke into your mouth.

"I don't know, you just smoke it!"

Scary Film

Tags: Yu Lee

I dreamt that I was watching a thriller in my bedroom.

The bedroom in my dream was not my real bedroom, and was not like anywhere I've slept before. It was a really big room, and it had a TV in it. I was with Yu Lee, and we were in bed (it was night time), watching a film.

The film made perfect sense in my dream, but now that I think about it it doesn't really make much sense at all. It started with a woman working in an office. She looks up at a spot on the wall where she normally hangs something, and whatever it was is gone and has moved to a different hook. She realises that something is wrong, and then moments later someone comes and beats her to death.

The story then goes back and starts to show the murderer's life, and how he turned into a killer.

It starts off with him hanging out with one of his friends, and for a joke they impersonate him. The killer than starts doing this kind of prank, impersonating and mocking people, until it gets a bit out of hand. He moves on to doing more violent pranks which involve beating people up whilst impersonating them, for example if his victim played golf he might dress up as a golfer, impersonate them and then beat them up with a golf club.

I can't really explain why, but the film definitely had a very sinister feel to it.

I remember two other things that happened.

At one point, Yu Lee told me the volume was too high so I got out of bed to turn it down. The TV was playing through some kind of amplifier so I turned that down, but then I realised it would be better to turn it down on the tv so that I could use the remote to turn it back up again, so I turned it back up on the amplifier and then down on the TV.

The second thing I remember doesn't really fit in with the rest of the dream. I'm not sure how this was connected to the rest of the dream, but we looked out through some patio doors (it was daytime) and there were some children playing in the garden. I went outside because I knew they were from next door, and I thought this would be an opportunity to talk to the neighbours. When I got out there one of the neighbours was in their garden but had their back to me and didn't turn round. I talked to the children for a while but then came back inside.

Back to the film, the pranks that the killer was doing were getting more and more violent, and then we see the killer going to the office building where the woman was murdered. He just starts setting up his prank when my alarm went off and woke me up.

That dream made a lot more sense at the time! I felt quite spooked when I woke up.

Underground

I felt like this was a long dream, although it was quite repetitive and not a lot really happened.

I dreamt I was hanging out with a group of people who were probably a little bit younger than me. We were hanging out in disused areas in tube stations.

One of the places that I remember most was down the stairs in a tube station, and then underneath a concrete slab. We lifted the slab and there were more stairs going down into a small concrete room that didn't seem to be used for anything.

The other guys were saying things like "We don't cause any damage and are just using a space that would go to waste otherwise," but in reality they only used a spot for a short period of time because they ended up leaving so much rubbish behind that they couldn't go there any more.

Random Dream Fragments

Tags: Nan (Pharo)

A lot of stuff happened in this dream, but I really only remember bits and pieces.

Baby

I was somewhere that I'd been lots of times before, where there were two babies. I knew the older one and had interacted with her a lot of times before, but had never really seen the younger one because she had been born very recently.

I picked the older one up and put her on my lap, as I'd done lots of times in the past, and then she started really crying. I then realised it was the younger one that didn't know me and tried to make friends with her. After messing around for a few minutes I managed to get her to stop crying.

Locked Out

I was in my house with someone else, and when we left I accidentally locked myself out. The outside of the house looked like my nan's house in Cookham (my nan on my dad's side). I distinctly remember the moment that the door shut and I instantly thought "Oh no my keys are inside!"

We were trying to figure out how to get back inside, trying to remember where the spare keys were, when suddenly the house was unlocked again. I asked who unlocked it and the other person with me said that it was the postman, and that postmen always carry spare keys to the houses that they deliver to.

Other Misc. Fragments

I remember being on some kind of ride or vehicle, with multiple tracks next to each other. There was some kind of problem and the carts were stopped and I helped resolve it.

I also remember being at a dinner with lots of my family, and my nan (on my mum's side) was there. I remember thinking that she looked old, and didn't look like my nan at all!

Volcano

Tags: Yu Lee

Me, Yu Lee and a couple of other people are sitting outside at a table. We are on a patio which has a roof over it, suspended by two metal girders which act as pillars at one end, and the house at the other end. It is a pleasant evening, and I think we are in another country.

We're sitting there talking and drinking and playing some kind of board / card game, when all of a sudden a volcano erupts on the horizon. It's quite far away, and all we can see is a massive column of smoke rising from the volcano. We comment that it might disrupt our flights the following day.

We continue with our game for a while, and the next thing I remember is looking up at another volcano erupting somewhere else on the horizon. This one is a bit closer, and is much more stunning to look at.

I tell Yu Lee to look at it just as it erupts, and from this far away you can clearly see several massive lumps of burning rock being ejected from the crater. The rocks are roughly spherical, and they are black with glowing yellow cracks.

As we watch, more and more rocks come out of the volcano, until all of a sudden a cluster of rocks come flying in our direction with one rock landing on either side of the house (but quite some distance away) and tumbling past us. I start to get scared as I realise how close they are coming, but stay and watch anyway.

The next eruption sends lots of smallish spherical rocks overhead, and a large cone shaped rock lands on its side in front of the house. It rolls towards us at great speed, and I suddenly realise it is going to crash into us. As it gets close I brace for the impact, and in the end the tip of the cone shaped part of the rock just touches the pillar holding up our roof, and by this time the rock isn't moving very quickly so it just stops.

After that the volcano blows out a massive cloud of stones, each about the size of a tennis ball, high into the sky. There must be thousands of stones this time, and it's obvious that they're going to rain down on us. We get up and run around the back of the building, but we're too late and the stones start coming down before we get there.

It feels like some kind of attack, with hundreds of impacts happening all around us.

The excitement gets the better of me and I wake up.

Space Travel

I don't remember a lot of details about this dream, but we were flying through space in some kind of space ship. When we arrived at our destination, I remember commenting that this was the first time that we'd been this far from home, and was the first time when we couldn't just get straight back home without any effort.

The other thing I remember is that there was a yellow flashing light outside the spaceship window. I was just about to investigate the light when I woke up.
