War

I was in this massive shopping mall with loads and loads of mostly anonymous people. There was a creepy atmosphere and the mall opened out into a wide street with more shops and a small harbour. I went down to a shop at the end with huge windows and met a couple of women there. I was really nervous and we were chatting about jewellery but really it was some kind of code. They could see I was nervous and were trying to calm me down discreetly. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a woman walk in with a black sports bag and I immediately screamed and ran out of the shop. As soon as I was out in the street I knew I'd made a complete tit of myself so I sidled back in sheepishly. Suddenly I knew exactly what was going on; Tyra Banks and her army had taken over the country and occupied Britain, and we were going to create a diversion by setting off a bomb in the shop. I told the women I was pulling out of the plan and went to look around the other shops, knowing that a bomb was about to go off and that I had to act normally.
I went back into the shopping mall part to get as far away from where the bomb would be and there were still loads of people around. At some point the bomb must have gone off so the half of the mall I was in was closed off. We were all quite scared but excited too, and people began looting like in Dawn of the Dead! I looking at loads of cool clothes and other people were swanning about in expensive ball gowns. I asked someone what the time was and they didn't have a clue. We had been there so long by now we couldn't tell if it was day or night. I could hear the army approaching from behind the blockade and we knew they were going to kill us all.

Carnations


I was in Llancarfan (the village I used to live in) curled up by the stream amongst the grass and trees. I was living there like a hermit with Ewan McGregor and I walked into the stream and splashed my face with some water. We went and stood outside my old house which was covered in rows of giant flowers in colours going from light to dark from top to bottom (after some extensive googling I have determined that they were carnations). We climbed the steps into the front garden where my next door neighbour was tidying up and Ewan was suddenly someone else, I think Sarah or Kacie, and I said "look, this is my old house! When I tell you about this dream you'll know what I mean because you've seen it."

Dormitory

It was the 1950s and I was living on the top floor of a house with some girls. It was one big room with a few single beds, like a dormitory, and the ceiling was wooden and slanted with the shape of the roof. The house was somewhere in the country and there was a man (who I didn't see) in charge of us who we were worried would come in and tell us off if we made too much noise. There were 4 boys living elsewhere in the house who looked about 14 years old. I think they were betrothed (haha) to some of the girls.
We were bored and got out a record player. Someone found some red, blue and yellow plastic strips that were about the size of a 30cm ruler. We had a little sewing kit so we sewed the strips together into panels and put them on as corsets. We were getting into a line to dance to the music and when I looked at the girls I could see them really clearly so I tried to memorize what they were wearing. I quickly went over to a table and started writing it down but they were all telling me to hurry up because the music was starting.
The boys came in and said they were going somewhere but they didn't look old enough. Some of the girls were saying "just tell them you're engaged, they'll think you're older".
When the boys left the girls got into bed and went to sleep. I looked out of a window and saw a massive tree and what looked like somebody's foot, so I climbed out and onto the tree. Between some branches near the top was a platform and someone was sitting on it, I can't remember who. I could hear the mysterious man in charge and I knew I'd get bollocked if he saw me in the tree. He came out of the door and he was looking all around for me and I was wishing he wouldn't look up. Then I was really high up floating in the air and laughing because he couldn't see me...
