Mum's Neighbours

This dream has some pretty vague bits in it, and I think there was a fair bit of dream logic going on here.

We are at our house, and my mum and step-dad are here. I think there were a load of other people here too, because me and Yu Lee had just gotten married, but the wedding wasn't actually in the dream. The point where my recollection of the dream starts is just after the wedding.

I'm talking to Mum, and she tells me that she has to dash off because they have to move out of their house in a couple of days. She explains that their neighbour has decided to sell it, so they have to move out. It's not clear in the dream whether her neighbour actually owns the house and is renting to them, or if something else is happening. This is the dream logic I was talking about.

I'm talking very passionately to Mum, saying she should do this and that so that she doesn't have to move. I'm pretty sure I was telling her to call them up and make threats to trash the place. "Tell him if he still wants a house to sell he needs to give you more time."

My mum goes off and I'm left all alone in the house (it seems Yu Lee went somewhere too). The house is a totally different house to any house I remember from real life, but looking out the back it has the same garden as my childhood home in Slough. I can see the large brick-built workshop at the bottom of the garden, and the double doors are right open. You can see all of our stuff inside (which looks like stuff you would normally have in the house) just sitting there in the middle of the workshop.

I walk outside to go and lock up, and think to myself that it was really stupid to leave all of that stuff there with the doors wide open. As I arrive at the bottom of the garden I see my wallet laying on the floor. I remember the image of my wallet very vividly: the clasp that holds it shut was open, but the wallet was still closed, and there was a streak of sand on it and it looked very dirty. It was laying on the middle step leading down from the path to the sunken area of the garden where the workshop was.

When I see my wallet, my first instinct is to put my hand in my pocket and feel for my keys and phone, but they are not in my trousers either. I start locking up and gather my phone, keys etc. and put them in my pocket.

Just as I finish locking up I notice some people coming down the path. They are a couple, and I was really focussing on the man who was about my mum's age and dressed in trousers and a thin sweater with a shirt underneath, and looked a little bit posh. When he opened his mouth to talk to me he sounded extremely pompous and not very likeable, speaking a bit like Douglas Reynholm from the IT Crowd. I realised that he was my mum's neighbour, and although we'd never met before he acted a lot like he knew me.

I was half talking to him and half finishing locking up, but the bit that caught my attention was when he started talking about the house sale.

"I'm selling one of my houses, Steve. It's been a really quick sale, and we haven't spent any money to sell it. Have you ever sold a house quickly with no money, Steve?"

He seemed to be boasting about it and I thought he seemed like an arrogant prick.

They left, and I was on my own again, so I walked back up the side of the house and in through the front door, and then I realised he was in my house. Yu Lee was also in the house now (maybe she was there all along). My mum's neighbour was looking at the plastering around the front door.

"Tell me about this plastering Steve. It looks good, but I know it wasn't done by a professional plasterer."

I told him that my dad did it, and it was very thermally efficient. He asked me how the house was heated and I told him that the radiator was in the front room and pointed towards it.

At that point Yu Lee started to explain the plastering. "When he plastered it, he opened up the plaster and poured in a load of hot potatoes at the end. That's why it keeps the heat in so well."

My mum's neighbour seemed satisfied by this explanation and actually seemed quite impressed. He left through the front door and I woke up.

Card Game

We are all sleeping over at someone's house, and everyone is sitting about in the front room. Someone has a card game that I've never played before.

The game seems to be similar to Uno, where you have to keep laying cards down on top of the pile that match the previous card in some way. The rules state something about how you have to kiss the other person if you can't go. I want to play the game with a female dream character that doesn't exist in real life, but I think in the dream is related to me in some way, like a cousin. Either way she is attractive.

Before we start playing I go upstairs to get more cards. I ask everyone if they mind if I turn the thermostat down, and they tell me that they are cold and don't want me to make it colder. I tell them "there are two options: either you can put some more clothes on, or I'm taking my clothes off, and I don't think anyone wants that, do they?" They agree, begrudgingly.

I head upstairs, and the thermostat is in a cupboard. The cupboard is built into the wall, and has a large wooden door that starts about waist height and goes up to the ceiling, like an airing cupboard. The house has a feel like an old cottage, and when I open the cupboard, the thermostat is the only thing inside, in the middle of the cupboard on the bottom.

The thermostat looks really weird. It looks like it must be about a hundred years old, and is made of wood and metal. It has a lever on top that you can push in either direction in increments of five degrees. I think to myself that I only wanted to turn it down by one or two degrees, but I'll have to turn it down quite a bit instead. I change the temperature from 25°C to 20°C (notice how it's still in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit despite being antique). I instantly notice the heating turning off.

I head back downstairs and we play the card game. We obviously don't play it right because we pretty much just play random cards on top of each other until we have none left. No one has a turn when they can't go, and more importantly no one has to do the forfeit and kiss the other person.

Afterwards we talk about how we played it wrong and try to work out the rules from the instructions.

Fish and Rats

I don't remember much of this dream, but I was with someone who had some fish tanks in their room. They showed me their favourite tank and it was exactly like a fish tank I used to have.

For some reason I had loads of fish that I didn't want so I offered them to him, and he said "yes" and was excited to have some fish in his tank. I brought the fish through and gave them to him.

I'm not sure how, but later on it seemed that some of the fish were actually rats in a cage. I took one of them out and told him how much I love rats and love handling them. I remember the rat's little tiny hands just like when I had pet rats.

I let the rat under my clothes and noticed a spot of urine on my jeans. I said to him that the trouble with rats is that they pee everywhere, and we noticed some spots on the carpet too.

The last thing I remember was that there was a rat in a little glass tank, and it had done a really horrible poo at one end of the tank, and was trying to get as far away from it as possible in the opposite corner.

Collecting my Shoes

I'm at home with Yu Lee and Bob, and I also have a room at Cambridge University. For some reason I need some trainers that I've left at the university halls, so the three of us walk there to get them.

We walk there from my house and it takes us a couple of minutes to get to the university grounds. Once inside the grounds it seems a bit like a medieval town with narrow streets, houses and shops with wooden beams in the front of them and lots of people everywhere. I say that I don't know the way, and Yu Lee says it's easy: "Go all the way to the end, then follow the sign for Mesquite Hall, then turn right about half way down the street."

We walk right to the end, and sure enough there is a big white sign with red letters that says "Mesquite Hall" with an arrow pointing to the right. We turn right and follow the street, and there is a single turn off on the right hand side that cuts in between the buildings. A few steps down this road is the entrance to the halls.

Once inside we go to my room and retrieve the trainers. I decide that I might as well wear them, so I take off my shoes and put the trainers on, and then we realise that the clothes I want to wear are here too so I take them back off again and change my clothes.

Once I've finished getting dressed we leave the university and head for home, but when we're just about to leave the campus I realise I've forgotten something in my room. "Hang on a second guys, I've forgotten my shoes!"

I look down at my feet and realise I've been walking through the streets with bare feet.

I tell the others to go back home and that I will meet them there, and then work my way back to the university room. I didn't remember the way there straight away, but first I saw the sign to "Mesquite Hall", and then the cut through on the right and soon enough I was at the university room.

I put on my socks and shoes, but then I thought that I might as well pick up a few other things. Most of the stuff seemed to have a survival theme, and I remember a pocket knife and snow-shoes being amongst the things I was collecting. Every time I thought of something I'd go to collect it and then leave, but then realise that I'd put something else down or forgotten something else.

It felt like I was in the room for a long time, trying to gather all of my things, and when I left the room I definitely had quite a lot of stuff on me. As soon as I came outside I saw someone who looked very much like Jason Walters from my old work, wearing a suit and approaching people, saying something to them and then walking off. As he got closer I could hear that he was saying something like "Do you want me to punch you in the mouth sir?"

I remember putting my hand in my right pocket and feeling for my knife. Each time he approached someone he would say the same phrase to them, and then wait just long enough for them to feel intimidated and show it on their face, when he'd suddenly smile and move on. I thought if he comes near me I'll stab him.

I watched him come down the road towards me, but then when he got close to me he crossed the road and walked towards the entrance to the halls where my room was and went inside.

Then I woke up.

(hidden)

(hidden)

This dream is hidden. Some dreams are personal. Some dreams are not suitable for everyone to read. And sometimes the author just doesn't want his mum to read them!

Back From the Future

I dreamt that I was working somewhere, and I'm not really sure the details about what my job was or what the company was doing, but it seemed to have something to do with technology. It might have had something to do with robotics, and the company had a kind of military feel to it.

One day I came into work and there were some strange people there with lots of crazy technology. It turned out that these guys were from the future and that the company was working with them. I don't remember all of the details, but I do remember talking to one of them and him telling me a bit about his past.

He said that when he first started to play with time travel, the first thing that he did was to use it to manipulate the stock exchange. He worked his way forward through time, predicting what would happen with the stock exchange and using it to make himself rich. Then he worked backwards through time and created the technology he'd bought with him to the present day.

When he explained it in my dream it made a lot more sense. I had a feeling that these men were not very nice people.

Camp Site

Tags: Yu Lee
(L0)

I dreamt me and Yu Lee were on a camp site. It wasn't necessarily a camp site with tents: it might have been caravans or some other kind of accommodation. I saw lots of people but never actually saw where we were sleeping.

It was lovely and sunny and we were outside, but then we decided that we needed to go and clean our teeth and use the toilet ready for bed. We split up so that Yu Lee could go to the lady's and I could go to the gent's.

When I go to the toilets, there was a very low and narrow tiled corridor that I had to duck through and walk along bent over to avoid touching the ceiling. When I did get in there I opened my bag to get my toothbrush out I realised that I didn't have the things I needed, but I had Yu Lee's stuff instead. I left the toilet block and went back outside.

At some point, as I walking back through the outside area, I stopped and put my bag on the floor and was rummaging through it. As I was doing so, a woman sitting on the ground near me was talking to her boyfriend, and said something about how "the DVD was not going to make her lucid." Hearing the word "lucid" immediately caught my attention and I looked at her, and she noticed. I said something to her which made it clear that I knew about lucid dreaming.

"He bought me a dirty DVD and thinks that if I watch it it's going to increase my lucidity" she said to me.

I said something like "A dirty DVD's not going to help with your lucid dreaming, it doesn't work like that, does it?"

After that I continued whatever I was doing in my rucksack, and then walked off. As I did so I heard the woman explaining to someone that "a lucid dream is a dream where you know you're dreaming, and you can control it and do whatever you want..."

On my way back to the main part of the camp site I had to walk down a narrow path. There were people all around walking extremely slowly which was frustrating me. I got to a point where there were three Muslim girls wearing burkas in front of me, and they were walking slowly, and spaced out just enough that I couldn't walk between them. There were 2 girls next to and slightly behind them walking along with hula hoops.

I realised that the path was narrowing and this was my only chance to over take, so I tried to run round the lot of them to get past. As I did this, all five of them got annoyed at me and took it as some kind of personal insult, and one of the girls with the hula hoops put her hoop around me to stop me from running away. They all started to have a go at me when the dream faded and I woke up.

Miso Soup, 10k Race

Tags: Ray

In the first part of my dream, I had a load of people in the house and I was making miso soup for them. The miso soup came with some bits to put in the soup, but when I cut one of them in half I realised they were actually sweets and decided to leave them out.

I had some shitake mushrooms that I wanted to add to the soup, so I put them on a chopping board and tried to cut them up into thin strips. When I tried to pull them apart I realised that the knife couldn't cut all of the way through them and they were all stuck together and really tough. By this point my soup was bubbling away and I was getting stressed because nothing was working.

In the second part of my dream I was running a race, like a 10k or something. There were loads of us running, and no one was taking it that seriously. For some reason I got told off for talking to people and they made me start again from the beginning.

This time I ran really fast, past all of the people that were taking it easy, and eventually caught up with the more serious racers at the front of the group. As I was near the front I decided to go for it, and in the end I finished in 10th place.

After the race they made the first batch of people who finished sit down on the grass in the order that they finished the race. I looked up and Ray (Yu Lee's brother in law) was 5th. I remember thinking I did pretty well to finish nearly as fast as he did.

Parties

I only remember a few bits and pieces from this dream.

In one part of my dream, we were at a house party. I think it was Mike's house (Mike is from my school) because I seem to remember his mum telling me not to turn the heating up. Mike wasn't in the dream however.

I remember that it was the evening and everyone was starting to go to sleep. There were people laying around everywhere, either sleeping or talking quietly, and it was getting really hot so I turned the temperature down on the thermostat.

A while later, the heating was making weird noises. I moved close to an air vent and there was cold air coming out of it. I realised that there were two heating systems in the house, and one of them was heating the air while the other one was cooling it.

I turned off the heating and the noise stopped.

The other bits of the dream that I remember were extremely vague and I don't remember the order of them. The theme of the dream was still a party, but this time it was in a hall instead of someone's house and there were a lot of people there.

At one point, I was walking around with Yu Lee and she realised she hadn't taken her antihistamine. There was a long queue of people queuing up for something, and she walked up and joined the queue near the front. I told her she shouldn't push in, but she said it was ok as she was only getting her antihistamine.

In another part of the dream, I arrived at a table where Yu Lee and her sister were sitting. When I got there Yu Lee said that they'd made a special cake for me, and that it was made out of truffles (the chocolate kind, not the mushroom). I told them that I wasn't going to eat cake on an empty stomach, and that I needed to eat my dinner first, which made them look a bit disappointed.

Drinks with Dad

Tags: Dad Sue Yu Lee

I was sitting with my dad and two other people, probably Yu Lee and Sue. We were out somewhere (in England) having something to eat. I got the feeling that we'd finished eating, and had to go somewhere else for some reason, possibly to see a show. We were going to have another drink before we left.

Me and Dad ordered a pint each and the others didn't order anything. We definitely both had our drinks but then there was a problem with them so Dad ended up tipping them away.

We went to pay the bill but everyone had gone home. We looked on the board and it was 5 minutes after opening, and Dad said something like "That's why they were in such a rush." Dad then went over to the till, opened it and paid the bill, and said "¡Gracias!" as he put the money in the till.

The other thing I vaguely remember was right at the end of the dream and was something about my shoes. Someone said that my shoes were nice, and then started to say "Do you remember when we first met?" and said that it was something to do with my shoes.
