Absinthe

1) It was really early morning and I was swimming around all of these tiny islands with some girl. The water was clear blue and some of the islands had ruins of small buildings and walls. We saw a house that looked inhabited so we crept around it and through the garden onto a wooden deck. I was looking through the windows and longing that I was inside! We could see a man and a woman asleep on a sofa all cuddled up together and their son was sitting on the floor watching tv. He saw us and looked shocked so we ran through the flowerbeds and rockeries but we were barefoot so it hurt a bit. Before we even got back to the water we were caught by loads of SWAT team type men.
By now the random girl was actually Sarah and we were marched across the island past more ruins and tunnels until we got to a temple which was built into a mountain or cliff. It had really wide stone steps and a big round door at the top. The SWAT men pushed us up the steps but even they were too scared to get too close to the door as there must have been something terrible behind it. About half way up the steps we noticed a really normal looking white door in the stone wall so we ran through it to escape. It led to loads of dark tunnels and passages which we rushed through in random directions to get as deep into the cliff as possible to get away from the men. At one point it opened up into a small chamber which looked like a museum exhibit with some stuffed birds and fossils.
Eventually we went through a door which led to a massive massive room that was the top floor of a huge building. It felt like this was the final part of a journey that would have started by walking through the round door at the top of the temple but because we took the shortcut it made no sense!
There were a few groups of people who had undertaken the whole journey milling about the strange assortment of items in the room and Sophie, Joe C, Niall and some anonymous people were waiting for us on some sofas and armchairs. They had been there for ages and were just as confused by this room and its contents as we were.
There was a purple and yellow patterned flying carpet hovering and rippling just above the floor and hovering above that, sitting cross-legged, was the green and purple guy from Harvey Birdman. Elsewhere in this gigantic room was some sort of low yellow plastic platform with an official-looking person standing on it next to what looked like a swirling, orangey pink portal. Part of the room looked like a furniture shop (where the guys were sitting) with loads of, well, furniture. There was so much stuff I can't even explain!
I kept taking my coat on and off which reminded Niall that he had left his coat somewhere else in this ridiculous room. We all set off to retrieve it and me and Joe got in a lift and went down to the basement. He had discovered that the twat from Peep Show, Geoff, was the evil mastermind behind this whole dream! When we got out of the lift there was a tunnel going upwards towards the surface and that bastard Geoff was escaping. We tried to go after him but a portcullis was lowering to block the tunnel and he turned around and laughed at us.
We realised that everyone else was upstairs getting the coat so we got back in the lift. There were a few other people in the lift including Brendan Fraser, but I was surprised because he didn't look anything like Brendan Fraser. The other people were really sucking up to him and asking him lots of questions. Because we were going to the top floor it took a while to drop off the other people, and just before we got out Brendan gave us a scrap of paper with a poem on.

2) Joe C had a big plaster with a long slit in on the bottom of his foot. He peeled it off to reveal "NERD" in black marker pen and there were goose feathers between the plaster and his foot to help rub the word off.
