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.

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.
