Sleep 1

00:29 to 05:00

(4:31 hours)

Last night I was adding the dream log to this site, and in the end I went to bed pretty late. I was knackered by the time I got to bed and fell asleep quickly.

I woke up really thirsty and needing the bathroom from a dream at 2:00am, and laid in bed for about 10 minutes before getting up and getting some water, going to the bathroom and writing down my dream.

I fell asleep again very quickly, and I'm pretty sure I was dreaming again this morning but I don't remember my dream. The rest of the night went very quickly and it feels like I was barely asleep before it was time to get up.

You Don't Work Here!

Tags: Ben Haswell

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.

Sleep 2

11:58 to 14:42

(2:43 hours)

I was really tired this morning and thinking about going for an early nap at about 10:00am, but when I got to bed it took me a little while to fall asleep.

When I did get to sleep I woke up from a dream at 1:30pm, but then went back to sleep until my alarm went off at 2:30pm. I laid in bed for quite a while and struggled to get up.

Preparing to Abandon our Home

Tags: Yu Lee

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.

Sleep 3
