Sleep 1

23:43 to 05:00

(5:17 hours)

Last night I got to sleep surprisingly quickly, considering how much sleep I'd had. On the other hand I actually felt pretty tired (and grumpy) most of the day.

This morning I awoke to the alarm from a vivid dream.

The Drawing Game

Tags: Yu Lee

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!

Sleep 2

13:16 to 15:03

(1:46 hours)

Today I fell asleep quickly for my nap, and I think I woke up naturally after about 1.5 hours and went back to sleep. When my alarm went off I laid in bed for 10 minutes and got up.

Sleep 3

23:33 to 05:00

(5:27 hours)

Last night I was tired and fell asleep quickly. I remember being awake at 4:30am, but it feels like a dream.

When I woke up I was having a very strange but very vivid dream. I woke up very groggy, so maybe this was a non-rem (deep sleep) dream?

Breakfast with my Mum and Brother

Tags: Bob Mum

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?
