Sleep 1

23:28 to 05:01

(5:32 hours)

Last night I went to bed at 11:30 which I think is generally a better time for me. I fell asleep almost instantly and slept right through to my alarm.

This morning I woke up at 5:00am and turned off the alarm. I could remember dreaming, but couldn't remember anything about the dream. I laid in bed for a while, trying to get the dream back and suddenly I had a very weak memory of something in the dream. Once I had remembered 1 detail the rest started to come back and I played the whole thing through in my head before I logged my sleep (which was only 1 minute later).

I wrote my dream down in my journal and got up. It was about living in a shared house with a load of people with learning difficulties, and having a very odd group sex education lesson with them!

Sex Education

I have moved house into some kind of shared housing and it is my first day there. I have been given a small room, and everyone else has learning disabilities. They have asked me to be in charge of things, and said I can have a bigger and better room if I do this, and have my own supply of food.

We all ate dinner together on the first night, and the next morning I decided to accept and be in charge.

It's morning now and we are having a cooked breakfast. I am looking for something to drink when I find a bottle of beer on the side. I open it and drink some, and it tastes like a cold can of Newcastle Brown Ale. It was fridge cold, even though it was not in the fridge.

Later we are having a group sex education lesson, which seems to have a drama element to it. We are all in a large common room with a small kitchen area, and game machines such as arcade games and table football all around the edges.

We are asked to do a series of exercises, and after each one the instructor asks some of us some questions. The first exercise was something simple, and the instructor asked one of the other house mates some questions but I wasn't really paying attention.

I remember seeing the Bolivian girl from my work (WorldPay) there, and thinking she is too normal to be there, and that she looked really pretty.

The next task is to act out a sexual fantasy that is on our mind. People are doing all sorts of crazy shit, and one guy has his erect penis poking out through his flies.

I think "this is really stupid" but I decide to play along and grab a Dyson vacuum cleaner and put it on my crotch.

After the exercise, the instructor is talking again and says that it is interesting to note that "every piece of equipment was used during the exercise." She says that 2 of us were actually sexual, and implies that I was one of them, which I think is stupid as I was just playing along. I now notice that I have an erection.

At some point during the exercise, one of the guys was just standing by the table football doing nothing, and asked me if he should get Windows Vista black edition of blue edition. I told him that I didn't care.

The dream had a strange emotion of being in a new, unfamiliar place, and reminded me of the start of university or a new job.

Sleep 2

16:04 to 18:02

(1:58 hours)

I think it took me about 5 minutes to fall asleep, but I woke up at 4:30 which would have only been 20 minutes sleep. It then took me another 5 minutes to fall back to sleep but this time I slept through until 6:00.

I woke up naturally from a dream about being in Slough and arguing with some of the people that I used to go to school with (not my friends but people in my year). I felt a bit groggy and laid in bed for 15 minutes after logging my sleep.

This dream is hidden. Some dreams are personal. Some dreams are not suitable for everyone to read. And sometimes the author just doesn't want his mum to read them!

Sleep 3

23:24 to 04:28

(5:04 hours)

Last night Yu Lee was out with her friends when I went to bed. I remember laying in bed and not feeling right because she wasn't home and thinking it would take me a while to sleep. I think I fell asleep within 5 minutes as usual.

When Yu Lee came in to bed I woke up enough to cuddle up to her but I kept my eyes closed. I think I did eventually roll over and look at the clock and it was about 1:00am.

This morning I woke up naturally at about 4:20 from a dream. I remember thinking that I didn't remember the dream, all I could remember was the stupid maths show I was doing, and then I realised that was the dream! I laid still in bed to try and crystallise my memories of the dream, but I fell asleep again and woke up 10 minutes later, so I need to be careful about doing that.

Maths

I only remember one scene from this dream.

I am doing some kind of maths contest. The presenter is eccentric and dressed in a suit and reminds me of Mr. Goodman, my maths teacher from school. We are in the hallway of a house with a staircase in front of us and a white board on the stairs. We are being filmed for TV and I know for some reason that the queen is watching.

The mathematician has drawn 4 numbers on the board in a cross, one up, down, left and right. The numbers each have about 5 digits and we have to do some kind of puzzle with each of them that involves a lot of calculations (similar to countdown).

When the time ran out I hadn't got any of the answers. I complain the it's not fair because he knows the answers, but he says he doesn't, and proceeds to work them out in front of me.

He scribbles away at the board and works them out really quickly and I am very impressed. I ask how he knows there is always a solution and he somehow proves it to me.

I would love to know if the maths he showed me actually made sense but I guess it's unlikely. I was slightly in awe of him!
