I dreamt that I was living back at York Avenue, and I was going on a road trip with Yu Lee, my ex-girlfriend Lauryn and a guy called Mark who I think was her current boyfriend. I only remember one part of the dream.

I'm downstairs, talking to my mum, and I suddenly realise that it's gone past 10:00am and it's still dark. I comment about it to my mum and she says that it's winter now and the days are getting shorter, and I can't believe how quickly it's gone from having so many hours of daylight in the summer to just four hours of daylight in the winter.

Mark is asleep in the loft-conversion, so I go to the bottom of the ladder and start shouting for him to wake up. I tell him he needs to get up because it is getting light, and we need to go before it gets dark again!

This is all I remember

I dreamt that me and Yu Lee had just moved house, and the house that we'd moved into definitely had some things in common with this house, but some of the things were totally different. The downstairs hallway was the same as our current house with the same wooden floors, but upstairs was slightly different. There were two identical bedrooms with cream carpets and magnolia walls, with a low, sloped ceiling on one side of the room and a really wide shelf going all of the way along the shortest end of the room.

Ai Seng was staying with us, and we'd decided that we'd lived in the house for a while now and that it was about time we started making it our own. We were going to go and unpack some things to put on the shelf in our room to make it look a bit less 'magnolia'.

I headed downstairs to fetch one of the boxes, and when I got to the bottom of the stairs I couldn't believe my eyes: the hallway was completely flooded with brown, murky water. I knew it had been raining, but I never realised it had been raining that much.

I waded through the water into the kitchen and got a two-pint plastic jug to start bailing the water out. As I waded back towards the front door Ai Seng was telling me to be careful that the water didn't overflow my shoes, but it was already above my ankles at that point.

When I opened the front door (there was no porch in my dream), the driveway and street was wet but not flooded, and the sun had come out. I was just about to dip the jug into the water when my alarm went off and woke me up.
