For some reason me and Yu Lee have gone to look at a house (to buy). I'm not sure why, because in my dream, just as in real life, we have only lived here for about 6 months.

We arrive at the house around 6:00pm by car and knock on the door. The man of the house opens the door and invites us in, and then he tells us that they are just dishing up dinner, and that he needs to dish up for everyone and then he will be right with us. We hang out in the living room for a while, and notice that they have at least three children living there, and also seem to have both sets of grandparents living there too.

After a short wait, the man of the house comes back and starts to show us around. We look around the living room and the kitchen, and everything seems to be pretty nice, although we quietly comment to each other that it's not as nice as our house.

Next we move through to a weird room which is attached to the living room (without a door) and seems to take up about half of the bottom floor. It's as wide as a regular room, but quite a bit longer, and there are no windows. They have no real furniture in the room although there seem to be some built in cupboards and a few boxes. I comment to the man that it seems a shame to use such a big space just for storage and he seems to be a little bit offended by my comment. He tells me that he does use it, and points to the corner of the room where I notice a small coffee table and a large wall mounted television.

At some point while we are in this room he makes a comment about how it is "connected to the next flat", and I assume he meant house instead of flat.

He tells us he has to go and do something, and asks if we can wait for a few minutes, so we tell him that's fine. He disappears for a while and we start to talk about the house. We both agree that it's not as good as our house, but that the location is really good. In my dream (as in another dream I had) Histon Road seems to be half way between our house and the city centre, which in real life is not true.

After waiting for a while the man comes back, and he seems to be busy with something. I ask him if I can use the toilet and he says that's fine, and directs us up stairs. We both go and follow his instructions, and end up in one of the children's bedrooms which has a toilet and a basin in it!

Yu Lee goes to the toilet first, and then I go. This is a little bit nasty and a bit weird: I take a dump with Yu Lee still in the room, and afterwards, I wipe and wipe and just can't get myself completely clean. After at least half a roll of toilet roll I realise I won't ever get myself clean and am starting to get sore, so I flush and give up.

Back down stairs the man of the house is in the garden so we go outside, and he seems to be fixing something made out of wood. When we get closer it seems to be a bee-hive, although there are no bees. He tells us he will be with us shortly.

Back inside the house we continue to wait for him. The grandparents and some of the children are setting up some kind of board game that involves singing, and we watch them. They ask us if we want to play but we tell them we have to go soon.

We look at our watches and it is 10:00pm and we realise we've been there for four hours! We say that this is the most disorganised house viewing ever and decide to give up. We call the man of the house by playing a tune on an instrument (I think he told us to do that earlier but I don't know for sure) and he comes down the stairs, still looking like he's franticly trying to finish something. We tell him we have to go and he doesn't even ask about finishing the tour and lets us out.

Outside we comment on how weird that was and look at the house from the outside. I realise that it really is a kind of flat, and say so to Yu Lee. She says that she isn't interested in a flat and I tell her that it is not an ordinary flat.

From the outside we can see that the building is made of brown concrete in a brutalist architectural style. The flat itself has no other flats above it, but is connected to a small building on the left, and to a large block of flats to the right. Scanning further along I can see that the block of flats is attached to a multi-storey carpark and that the two buildings are integrated together. The cars can somehow drive out onto the roof of the house we just looked at and there are parking spaces on the roof.

I say to Yu Lee that it's not really like a proper block of flats, because the only thing that the building shares is the parking spaces on the roof.

Standing outside in the dark, Histon Road doesn't seem like a nice place to be, and it has a feeling of danger about it. We agree that we should go, and Yu Lee comments that she thinks maybe the man of the house was in some kind of trouble, possibly drugs related. We get in the car and Yu Lee pulls away.

When in the car, we need to turn around so we look for a good spot. We spot a grassy track and decide that is as good a place as any, and Yu Lee drives into it and start to turn the car around. The neighbourhood seems pretty sinister and I can tell that Yu Lee is in a rush, and as she starts to the turn the car around she puts her foot on the gas a little too vigorously and the car spins. She slams on the break and we come to a halt.

At this point there is something weird going on with a tent. I think maybe it fell out of the car, although I don't remember exactly how it got there. All I remember thinking is that our tent was outside the car, and it was all dirty where the car had skidded over it. I was thinking to myself that I couldn't be bothered to sort it out and I just wanted to get out of there, and when Yu Lee drove off and left it there I was relieved. This is the last part of the dream that I remember.

An interesting thing about this dream is that this version of Histon Road seems very similar to another dream that I had (Friday Afternoon at Work) where I decided to walk home through Histon Road, and the area seemed to be dodgey. I have no idea why Histon Road is a bad area in my dreams, or why it is half way between town and my house, because in reality I rarely ever even go to Histon Road.
