I'm at work. I don't think it's exactly WorldPay, but based on some of the things I'm talking about it definitely has aspects of WorldPay.

It's Friday afternoon and no one feels like working, so we're just kind of hanging out. There are a group of us sitting around talking, and although I don't remember the whole conversation, I do remember talking about how stupid it is that everyone is just hanging out and not doing work, but we have to stay here and can't just go home. I definitely mention that it's not like that when you work for yourself, although in the dream I clearly haven't left my job yet which seems a little bit inconsistent.

At some point the conversation changes and we talk about speaking Spanish. I was talking about what I do when I don't know a word, and how I can get by either by describing it in a bit of a long winded way, or just by saying the English word. I also talk about how Atta and Kedar do the same when they are talking Hindi/Urdu, how sometimes you hear them suddenly slip in an English word, even though they are both native speakers.

Two of the people I am talking to get up and walk away. I'm not sure if they're a couple, but there seems to be something going on between them and I leave them to it. I want to go with them but I don't want them to feel like I'm following them around. The remaining member of the group starts to sing gently but I'm not listening because I'm deep in thought.

Suddenly I snap out of it and mentally process what he was singing:

Déjala pasar
Corriente vital
Somos luces que se cruzan y se quitan no se dan

"Ah you know Ojos de Brujo?" I say excitedly (literally "Eyes of the Sorcerer"; a Spanish band).

The next thing I remember is leaving work to come home. My work is in the city centre, and the journey home is definitely not a typical journey home through Cambridge! The streets seem to be a bit more dodgy with lots of people hanging around.

It's just starting to get dark when I leave, and I decide to walk back home 'the Histon Road way', which makes very little sense if I live the same place as real life as there isn't really a logical route here via Histon Road. The first area I walk through seems to be an area with lots of Indian and Pakistani people around, which is odd because Cambridge doesn't really have areas with lots of one ethnic group. It seems a lot more like Slough where I grew up.

The people in the street are all wearing woolly hats, and I remember thinking that it's silly because it's the middle of summer and it's really hot! As I quickly walk through this area, the people are often standing in my way and not keen to move and let me past. I feel a little bit intimidated as there are a lot of people everywhere, hanging around, and I feel like an outsider. I remember thinking "I'm not coming home this way again!"

The next area I come to seems a bit like a high street, with a wide open pedestrianised area and lots of shops. I'm approaching a pub that I think is a bit dodgy, but I can't think of the name of it. In my head I'm saying "I know it's not called this, but I keep wanting to call it 'The Good Companion'." I'm pretty sure that was the name of a pub in Slough too.

When I walk past the pub, there is a little stall in the middle of the street (which is pedestrianised) which sells newspapers. The stall is closed and a homeless man is laying on the floor, leaning against the stall. As I get closer I realise he has a dog with him which is asleep, and he's drinking beer out of a plastic cup. Again I think to myself that I'll avoid this route home in future because it's not very nice!

I only remember this quite vaguely now, so I won't go into much detail.

I'm outside somewhere, and there is a river. The river has large blocks of stone / concrete in it, so you can pretty much walk down the river, stepping from block to block.

I'm out on the blocks, when I come across a pair of shoes. For some reason I decided to take off my shoes and try them on, and even though they don't fit, I keep them on when I leave, leaving my shoes behind on the rock.

I continue up the river until I come to a dead end where the blocks stop, and I have to back track a little before I can make it to the bank.

The next bit is a bit hazy, but I went to somewhere that you normally need an appointment. I think it was a hair dresser. I go in to make my appointment, and they tell me they don't have an appointment for a while, but there is a space after their next customer, as long as he finishes in time.

When the next customer comes in, for some reason he isn't ready to get his hair cut then and has to go back to the river to get something. I can't really remember what happened here, but I know I went back to the river too to get my shoes back.

The only thing I remember from the last part of the dream was someone telling him that he should walk back along the bank, and not along the rocks.

I dreamt that it was mine and Yu Lee's wedding day. I don't remember all of the details of the dream, but I remember a vague outline of the plot.

The main thing that I remember is that the whole thing was a bit of a mess! While we were on our way to the ceremony, we realised that we hadn't even finished giving all of the specifications to the venue or the registry office. There were a list of things that the registry office told us we need decide on, like the different options for readings and having our own vows, and even the music.

We had a lot of guests at the wedding, unlike what we are planning in real life. There must have been at least 200 people there, and we were outside. We were having some kind of reception first, and then the ceremony was due to start.

When it was time for the ceremony, we asked one of the guests to gather everyone round the spot where the ceremony would take place. As we were standing there waiting we went over the list of all of the things that we hadn't decided on yet, like the music, and we couldn't work out what they were going to do. It felt like the whole thing wasn't ready.

Our guests were taking ages to come over, and for some reason we didn't want to move from the spot because we were in position. I started waving frantically at one of the guests to try and draw attention to the fact that we were waiting, and eventually everyone started to slowly gather round.

I don't remember what happened next, but I remember thinking the whole thing was a farce!

This dream contained a weird mix of work and school.

We are in a classroom, but we are also at work. I'm with a classroom full of programmers and we are all learning something and have to take exams. The weird thing is that most of the other people in the class are female, and if you've ever worked as a programmer you will realise that there are not many female programmers!

Most of the people in the class are people that I've never seen before, but I have been working with one of the girls in the class. I'm totally bored with what the teacher is saying, and I just want to get on with my work. I look for the girl that I was working with but I can't remember which one she is, but I think it is one of the girls on the desk next to me.

I lean over to speak to them and to ask if they are working on my project, but they are paying too much attention to the teacher to notice me. Then one of them asks the teacher a question. She starts "I know I've probably lost my bonus already, but..." and implies that if we don't pass the exams we don't get a bonus. The teacher (who I think is also our manager) answers saying that no one is going to lose their bonus, but we all know that we won't get the bonus if we fail.

Several times in the dream I tried to talk to the girls about the project but couldn't find them or got interrupted. I felt frustrated.

I am sitting outside. It seems kind of like the front garden of a house, but I think there are a lot of people around. It's very warm and sticky.

I decide to go for a walk around the block, and as I'm walking around I become aware of a radio broadcast. The radio says that the summer heat is causing an increase in violence and lots of people are being arrested for fighting.

As I walk around, I suddenly have violent thoughts and feel like I want to fight someone. Shortly afterwards I come to another outside area with lots of people sitting there, and they are arranged into two groups and I know that they are organising a fight. Although they haven't started fighting yet, the two groups are hanging around and preparing, and everyone looks pretty tough. I decide that I don't really want to fight anyone and go back to the place I was previously.

Some time passes, and I don't remember exactly what happens, but the next thing I know one of my friends is being followed by a couple of guys. The guys are big and strong and seem to be pretty hard, and although my friend is bigger than me I don't think he can take them on on his own.

As they are following him I move in and kick one of them in the legs. The guy flinches and my friend moves away and opens up some distance, but one of the other guys is still chasing him. I do the same to that guy, suddenly lunging out of the crowd and kicking him, then trying to slip away before he can notice me properly.

I do this a few more times, thinking "this is surprisingly easy", but eventually the guys figure out what I'm doing and come for me instead. When they get to me they beat me to the floor.

At this point I woke up feeling extremely hot.

I can't really remember much about this dream, but for some reason we were interviewing a disabled guy who wanted to be on a football team. He was in a wheelchair and had no use of his legs, and he used tweezers to move the ball.

It seemed to make sense at the time...

There was a lot more to this dream than I can remember now. I remember that my mate Mike from school was in part of it, and also my ex-girlfriend's sister (as a baby). This is the only bit I remember in enough detail to write down.

We are at Yu Lee's mum's house (although it doesn't necessarily look like Yu Lee's mum's house) and Yu Lee's dad comes back from somewhere. He excited because he's got loads of medicine for a bargain price!

He opens his shopping back and starts handing out boxes of medicine to everyone. The boxes are all different and are for random things, and one of the boxes contains eye medicine. I'm not quite sure why, but he takes the eye medicine out of the box and puts a drop in each eye.

A little while later, I think the police came round, and for some reason Yu Lee's dad had to go with them. While he's gone Yu Lee's mum comes home and she keeps taking boxes of medicine out of the bags that each of us have and trying to put them all in the same bag. After a while I realise what she's doing and ask "You want the bags, don't you?" She says "no" defensively, and then after a few seconds admits that she does want the bags, so I take the medicine out of the bag and give the bag to her.

A while layer, Yu Lee's dad comes back in through the front door. We are asking him what happened while he is fiddling around with the door, and then he turns round and his face looks really weird. I realise it's because his eyes are all swollen.

I tell him his eyes are swollen and it must have been because of the eye drops he took and he starts to look concerned. Then I woke up.

Sleep Chart

I remember an early fragment of my dream where I entered my sleep into my sleep chart and it was 2 hours long. The sleep chart looked different though, and the boxes were light blue instead of green and had lines through them at each hour, so the 2 hour sleep had a line half way through it.

This could have been an earlier dream.

Conversation in the Lobby

The main part of my dream that I remember was right before I woke up. I was talking to someone in a large room that felt like the lobby of a hotel, although I'm unsure of the location or why I was there.

I was talking to a guy (let's call him "the first guy") in detail about something, and at some point another man (let's call him "the second guy") approaches us. The first guy introduces him as a good friend, and as he does so holds onto his hand in a manner that seems to be romantic.

We're talking for a while, when the first guys says "He's also my number one Spanish man" and I'm surprised as the second guy didn't seem to be Spanish.

The second guy then starts to speak and clearly has an English accent. I ask him if he's Spanish, but he doesn't hear and continues talking over the top of me, so I ask him again and this time he does hear and says that he is not Spanish. He starts talking about how he used to live and work in Spain.

I realise that when the first guy said "Spanish man" he meant that he is the guy who know about all things Spanish. I'm glad I didn't make a fool of myself by trying to talk to him in Spanish!

Me, Bob and Yu Lee are staying at a hotel somewhere. It's the evening, and I suggest we should go out and find somewhere that we can have a drink, so we leave the hotel and walk along the main road, but there don't seem to be any pubs around.

We walk past a police station, and one of the others points at it and says "We can go to the Policeman's Ball!"

We walk up to the police station, and no one seems to be around but the doors are open. We go inside and walk down the corridor. We can hear the music inside and I'm sure the party is just around the corner. I ask Bob "Are we allowed to just walk in here and join the party?" and he says that we aren't supposed to be here because we don't work here.

I become nervous and tell the others we should leave. As we are walking out of the police station, someone sees us and approaches us, so we pretend to be prisoners that have just been released. The person we are talking to is obviously an off-duty policeman, but we somehow convince him that we are just prisoners on our way out of the station and he lets us go.

When we're back outside we decide to head back to the hotel. I tell the others that I'm hungry and they say they will cook some "nice mac 'n' cheese" when we get home. I tell them that I'm not eating that!

I don't remember much of this dream, but I do remember one fragment. For some reason, and I have no idea what the context is around this, I was with some other people and were messing around and singing. One of the other people was singing the guitar parts to heavy metal songs, and I was singing the words. I particularly remember singing one part of "Sugar" by System of a Down:

I sit,
In my desolate room,
No lights,
No music,
Just anger,
I've killed everyone,
I'm away forever,
But I'm feeling better...

We were amazed how good it sounded with us just singing the guitar part and the vocals.
