Machinery?
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.
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.
I fell asleep quickly but had a really disturbed sleep, drifting in and out. I had a lucid dream where I realised I was dreaming and flew like superman, but it faded out quickly and I was back in my bed, half asleep again.
Then I drifted into another lucid dream, and this time it was longer lasting. I went into the street and knocked on a random door, but then I thought "What if I'm not really dreaming?" I decided to let whoever answered lead the conversation.
I said "hello" when a girl answered, and I asked if I was disturbing her. She said "no", and then after a short silence asked "Do you want to come in?". I said yes, and then she made a comment about how her baby is sleeping and she seemed to be a bit annoyed.
Once inside she was nice and calm again, and wearing the kind of mask you would wear to a masked ball. She lifted her mask and was older than I'd imagined, but was still very attractive. She kissed me once on the lips and the dream faded away and I woke up.
This time I woke up on the bedroom floor. I looked up, and realised Yu Lee had come into the room with me. I felt something in my ears, and rolled over to find that there were 2 cotton buds in each of my ears! Then I realised the ceiling was the ceiling from the second bedroom in our old house, and there were cobwebs everywhere and a sinister looking doll's head hanging from the ceiling. I became lucid for a 3rd time, but then panicked and though that I would never be able to properly wake up and would be stuck in the dream world forever!
At that moment I woke up for real and just over an hour had passed since I went to bed. I realised I'd been asleep the whole time and had a series of false awakenings.
I vividly remember that several times through the whole episode the dream had started to fade to a light grey colour, but I had just about managed to get it back by moving and being active.
I also realised afterwards that the sensation of the ear plugs in my ears in real life is what caused me to dream of the cotton buds in my false awakening. This means that I was probably waking up and regaining my sense of touch, but my brain triggered a false awakening to keep me asleep.
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.
When I woke up I was having a very strange but very vivid dream. It had a lot of themes mixed up in it: staying with my mum and my brother, my brother buying a new house and having lots of problems with it, it getting late in the year and winter drawing near.
The last thing that happened is that we all went out for breakfast, and everyone's meals started turning up. I hadn't even ordered my food yet, and it turned out that you had to order at the till but I thought it was table service. Mum offered to give me hers but I said I wasn't hungry and didn't want anything anyway.
The breakfast that came was also pretty weird, it somehow seemed like a cross between a normal English breakfast, and sausage and bean casserole and a Cornish pasty!
When my alarm went off and I woke up I was very groggy, so maybe this was a non-rem (deep sleep) dream?
This was a very vivid dream. I dreamt that there were several of us playing a game where you all draw rectangles on a sheet of gridded paper, filling in sections of the grid with different colours, and then when all of the squares on the grid are filled in you look at it and somehow you've all drawn a picture! It was incredible and I didn't understand it at the time, but that's because it doesn't make any sense at all!
The next thing that happened was that Yu Lee decided she wanted to test out the steam cleaner attachment underneath the cooker. There was a stainless steel drawer under the oven, and when she opened it what looked like a long vacuum cleaner hose with the brush attachment was inside.
When she turned it on, all of the steam started to fill the house. I went around the house opening up all of the external doors (in this dream the layout of the house was totally different: it was detached with patio doors along each of the longer sides and a garden all around). I pointed fans blowing out of the house in one direction, and into the house on the other side, in the hope that it would create a breeze through the house and blow the steam out. On my way round the house I realised we'd had an electric radiator plugged in for god knows how long in a room we don't use very much. I remember thinking that it explained the electricity bill being so big and it being hot all of the time.
It was all a bit weird!
I was dreaming about working at WorldPay, and we were in some kind of temporary building, like a cross between an office block and a porter cabin. There was a weird mould problem, with mould growing on the walls and the head of department was worried it was going to spread.
He called the people in charge of the building and they were going to come down, but he said it was a waste of time because they were near Oxford, and after driving all this way wouldn't be able to do anything anyway.
I was trying to find a video on YouTube about a roller coaster, but ended up watching videos about people that put wheels on a picnic table and rode it down a steep hill.
I dreamt about going to stay overnight with Estefanía, one of my (female) Spanish friends. In my dream Yu Lee was not happy about this!
I dreamt of visiting my dad, and he had this weird 2 wheeled electric vehicle. He let me borrow it and I drove it up into the mountains, but then I crashed it and broke it.
I dreamt that I still worked at World Pay, and one of the Business analysts who had left the company had come back.
I bumped into him on my way out of the toilets and asked if he had some better projects now than when he'd left (he was complaining before he left in real life that all of his projects were shit). He told me he did, otherwise he wouldn't have come back. I asked him if he was happy and he said no.
