Paul Francis (from my school) and another dream character, either Rod (from my school) or Zen (my girlfriend's brother) were sleeping over at my house. Paul was being a dick just like he is in real life, and he kept pushing his luck and winding me up. I'm sure I hit him at some point, and once he did a horrible burp in my face so I spat in his face and he seemed to get the message to leave me alone.

At some point during the dream he gave me a t-shirt.

We were just about to go to sleep at around midnight, when Zen / Rod's phone rings and it's someone asking him if he wants to play table tennis outside. He asks if I want to come and I say "obviously not" and he disappears outside.

As we are about to go to bed I ask Paul if he want's me to find a blanket for him. He says "I'll just have the duvet" and I tell him it's not here because me and Yu Lee just got back off holiday. He says "Ok I'll have this then" and points to a throw-over on the back of an arm chair. I tell him he can use that, but if he wants a blanket to ask me and I'll find one for him.

I'm sure that when I woke up the dream had progressed and I was dreaming about something completely different.

A recurring theme in this dream, especially in the parts I don't remember well enough to write down was architecture. I'm pretty sure the first part had something to do with my house, and possibly with getting work done on the house, or wanting to get work done on it.

I'm at home with Yu Lee, except our house is totally different and is in Spain. I was in the garden, and I'm pretty sure we were looking at barbecues at some point. As part of some research for something I'm watching Hollyoaks or something similar on my laptop in the garden.

With about 5 minutes to go my dad and step-mum arrive in their car and park in our garden (which is very similar to my dad's garden and goes right around the house, containing the drive). As I don't want to be ridiculed I quickly close off my tv program.

We are in the garden for a while and I talk to my dad about barbecues and tell him I want a new one. I show him some pictures on the laptop and ask him what he thinks of 'outdoor kitchens' with built in sinks.

The discussion moves on to dinner, and my step-mum says "We were going to go out to a nice little place just outside of Torrevieja, but we can't take the car that far so we'll need to go somewhere in walking distance." I ask why we can't drive and she goes on to explain that she's selling her car, and she's just had the odometer rolled back to 3000 miles and can't let it go too far over when she sells it. I remember thinking you'd never get away with that in England.

"I can drive" I reply, "or more precisely I can drive us there and Yu Lee can drive us back because I'll be drunk!"

Yu Lee told me she had a fungal infection, and I don't remember if it was in her mouth or between her toes, but it was definitely one of those. She showed it to me and it was a little white fuzzy ball.

She pulled it out with her fingers, and I asked if she was going to put it in her pocket. She told me that if she put it in her pocket it would continue to grow for a couple of days, and I said "Like a ballistomycete?" which is a mushroom enemy in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Now that I'm awake I have no idea why I made that comparison as a ballistomycete is a giant mushroom and what she had was a tiny fuzzy white ball of fluff!

The next thing I remember was being outside with several people, two of which were my Mum and my mate Brad from school. We were all waiting for the barbecue to heat up, and several of us were smoking. My mum asked Brad if she could have some of his cigarette and he said yes and handed it to her. She had a couple of puffs on it and then it was finished.

A couple of seconds later Brad said "Oh shit that was a spliff!" but then he told me that it probably didn't matter because it was only the end of it and it was probably all tobacco at the bottom. Mum did seem a little bit jolly but I put it down to the red wine she was drinking.

I dreamt that me and Yu Lee were in our house when a whole army of small, armoured creatures got here. We could hear them outside so we ran up stairs, and as we did they burst into the house down stairs.

There were 2 groups of the creatures and they were fighting each other, but we knew that they were going to overrun the whole place and that our only option was to leave, and that we wouldn't be coming back.

Most of the stuff we would have wanted to take with us was downstairs, but we knew we had to give up on that, so we hunted around for a few things. I knew we would need to sleep outside so I looked for blankets. Our fleecy blankets are always downstairs so I thought we could take duvets but it wasn't ideal.

I also looked for a knife. Yu Lee asked what I was looking for and I described a knife to her that I bought in Spain when I was little, and she said "like this?" and held it out. The weird thing was that she had two versions of it: a full size one and a miniature one. I told her to hurry up because we were running out of time.

We were planning to make our escape out of the bedroom window, and onto the extension roof, where we could wait a while and decide what to do next. The house was getting really hot now, and I knew it was because the heating was broken. In my dream the central heating consisted of a couple of large kettles that looked like metal bins, but with immersion elements in the bottom of them. The kettles were boiling dry and steam was everywhere.

I dreamt I was back at WorldPay, and this time I was in my own office, which is unusual as the rest of the office is open plan. There was a window in the door, and another window on either side of it, and as I was sitting there I noticed Ben through the glass. He clearly noticed me and signalled as if to say "What are you doing here?"

I signalled at him to leave, but he didn't understand and came closer. He signalled at me again through the glass, and I understood that he was asking why I was back and if I got my job back. I signalled that I hadn't, that I wasn't supposed to be here and for him to go away.

Once he'd gone, I laid back down on the floor of the office, under a fleece blanket to try to go to sleep. Then my real life bladder woke me up.

I dreamt of being in a dark place, possibly a cave, on an expedition. I was with Yu Lee, and it wasn't very realistic: it had a real computer game feeling to it.

We both had a torch, helmet and rope, and I was at the top of my rope when all of a sudden I dropped my torch and it rolled away. Yu Lee asked if we should quit but I told her not to be so hasty. Then I lost my footing and felt like I was going to fall. I said "Flashlight ...gone. Rope ...lost. Abort!" and we gave up and left.

In another part of my dream (I don't remember if it was earlier or later) Yu Lee had run a bath, but it was a bit too hot for her so she came downstairs while she waited for it to cool down. For some reason I was waiting for her to have her bath so that I could do something.

I told Yu Lee to hurry up and have her bath and she asked if she could finish playing a game on her computer first, and I told her "no".

I woke up to the sound of my neighbours putting up picture hooks on the other side of the party wall.

In my dream, my dad was going to pick me up to take me on holiday. He arrived at my house (my mum's house where I lived when I was younger) but I hadn't even started packing yet. I quickly tried to pack my things but everything was taking forever and I was going to be late.

When I woke up I could remember my dream, but now all I remember is that it had something to do with machinery or something technical.

This morning I was dreaming about leaving WorldPay (again!) and travelling to Madrid for some reason. I think I was there to meet one of my workmates from WorldPay who is from Madrid.
