I have interesting dreams and I can often remember them in great detail
Dreams
Since I have such crazy dreams and can often remember them, I decided to start documenting them and tagging them to see the most common things I dream about.
There are lots of dreams in my youth that I never made note of – including the earliest dream I remember in which I attended a seminar held by the Pokémon Squirtle. He came on stage and said "Hello, I'm Squirtle" and sprayed everyone with water.
I also occasionally have a recurring dream that is just me eating croutons for what feels like an hour and I also had a dream that made me terrified of Timothy Spall.
There are a few things that are consistently featured in my dreams, such as my ability to glide across the floor - either on my heels or floating slightly. So prevalent was this when I was young that I was convinced I'd done it in real life at some point.
It does sometimes become very difficult to distinguish dreams from real life. I didn't get my HND certificate because I thought I already had, but I realised a few days later that I'd actually dreamed it.
So, here are all the dreams that I've remembered...

Lenka and the cybermen
Mike and I went to an event (comic con?) we weren’t getting much notice so we dressed as cybermen. Mike as a new one, me as a Mondasian one. I had to walk very slowly. Someone early bumped into us so I tried to grab Mike and pull myself away but ended up swinging him…
Johnny Rotten’s fake solo
I was at a Christmas fair with mom. We went into a hall where a band playing their new song. The lead singer was a guy playing a ukulele, there was another guy who was playing a ukulele with a spatula, a man on a banjolele, a tea chest bass and, finally, Johnny Rotten on…
The end of the world blackout
I was watching a film in which Chris Pratt’s character was being chased by a policeman who caught him. He was then sent in part of a mission on a space station. They had to deliver a rubber duck to a man called Sebastian (played by Kevin Bacon) in order to stop him somehow. A…
Endansia
Mom, Mike and I went to see a show at a small theatre. We got there early and Mike realised he’d forgotten his milk in the taxi. I went back to get it for him and the taxi started driving off while I was inside. The driver was Jonathan Crane (from DC comics) and a…
The mind touch facility
Man in a futuristic facility. You went into a booth, someone dressed in red robes touched your head. They could go to your past and either watch or influence by controlling your mind. A man went and saw part of his life, but then the session was over. The man in red left the booth.…
Celebratory cake
Steve Coogan. Friends on the radio talking about him. He has a celebratory cake that he takes a slice and then puts the rest in tin foil or the fridge for alter. He also gets a bit box of chocolates and takes all the white chocolate ones out. They came round and we’re laughing about…
Birthday Balls
Was on a course. Chatting to holly. She said you get a free hot chocolate at costa. She went down to get one, came back and said you have to buy something to get it free. I said I’d get my lunch there. Went down and said hello to Holly and her husband and kid.…
Lee Mack and the superheroes
At a meal. Gush sat next to me. Young girl and her family came. She said I looked ready to adopt. I said “I am. We’re adopting you, didn’t your mom tell you? Only joking.” We all had flutes and I tried to play the Harry Potter theme on mine but couldn’t. I was eating…

Mom loses it
Going out with mom. Her legs gave way so bad to go in a wheelchair. I mentioned I’d seen her listen to a QI podcast, she swore she’d never heard of it. I dropped my hat and went back and got it. She took it off me and threw it away. Then she started throwing…
I was in the Beatles
I was in the Beatles with John, Paul and George – I was kind of Ringo, and acted like him a bit, but I played bass. It was a few years into the Beatles, when they were famous, and we were playing at a ballroom. There were lots of excited fans. We wanted to go…
The music girl
I was in a school or office building. I walked past a room and saw a girl tidying away lots of recording equipment. I asked if she needed help and she ignored me. I went to leave, but wasn’t sure if she’d heard me, so I asked again and she just looked and smiled. I…
Lego and Squid
I was in school and we were making and remaking clay sculptures. I made a couple of things, but I spent so long making them that I didn’t have time to paint them. The next class was lego building. The room had loads of Lego. I got a tray full and sat down to build.…
Together We’ll Be Okay
I was in a smallish hall with lots of people sat on rows of seats. They were putting on a little show and getting people from the audience to do routines. My colleague, Jacob, got up and did something. I can’t remember if it was a song or a dramatic reading, but it was pretty…
The musical improv
At one point I was watching a film about a man who was stuck on an island (or I was the man, can’t remember) and he managed to escape by creating a wave that got to the shore and flooded it a little, getting the attention of a local amusement arcade. The owner of the…
The Elsa Dream
Had a really nice dream last night that I was going out with a blonde girl called Elsa (not the Frozen character!) I don’t remember much of it, but we were already an item, which is rare for my dreams. We kissed, laughed, cuddled and went to bed together. So it was just a really…
Apple Collective
In town with Mike and mom. saw nan and grandad looking shifty. They were there to meet their friend Carl off a plane. Nan said the plane had landed 4 hours ago. We tried calling him but got no response. They went home to wait for him. At a town meeting discussing an organisation called…
The road to Costa Del Sol
I was on holiday with mom and Mike. Can’t remember where, but it wasn’t too far from home. We’d gotten the 85 bus to somewhere and then we were trying to figure out how to get back. Mom thought we needed to get on the same bus where we got off and it would go…
A piece of fish
My boss Dave was giving a talk at an event for college kids. He was organising food for an event where people were coming to watch a big football match. He said the plan was to do fish and chips, because it was “a piece of fish” to do (that was meant to be a…
The train and the bags
On train with mom. We got off and got into a taxi. I got in the wrong taxi. Didn’t realise for ages until I noticed the Asian man sat next to me instead of mom. I called mom to tell her. I got out and went to the nearest train station. I got on a…
The Circus Showdown
In a supermarket, shopping, and somehow got involved in a battle with a guy. We hid either end of a long display unit. We’d try to to see when the other came out, and occasionally threw things at each other. After a while, I was getting bored, so I slipped away to do some shopping.…
