At first I was in some sort of computer game with a red blob where I had to collect coins around this gothic castle. Mario much?
Then I was packing my suitcase to go on holiday to Tenerife with my father. My mother and father were wandering around the house trying to help me, but I was doing an okay job by myself. We were also watching television at the same time, and I remember the weather in Bristol was pretty nice – sunny and picturesque in the view outside over our patio. I then had visions of walking around Spain taking photographs (which reminded me of another dream I’d had when I was staying at a hostel in Spain with schoolfriends, which began collapsing around us as we ran around inside looking for things to collect / explore). Anyway, my father informed me that I would have to make my own way to the airport (I guess maybe he wasn’t coming with me after all?), which pissed me off somewhat. But I was sitting in front of the television, which sometimes showed a programme and at other times would be off.
Then I remember I was sat in the back corner of the school classroom I was in in Year 7 (aged 11-12) in the middle of a maths lessons with Mr. Clarke. Mr Clarke was my maths teacher for 4 out of the 5 years that I took maths in secondary school; he was pretty nice (we organised gifts for when he returned to school after paternity leave) and also very sexy – my mother had/has a big crush on him (he was gorgeous, to be fair). So he was teaching this maths lesson, and I was sitting the back corner, and I had somehow acquired a dark blue napkin, which I was folding like origami. Somehow, I made a paper aeroplane (which I can never do in real life) so I held it in my hands, but the temptation was to great so I let it fly. It sailed across the classroom and landed in the opposite front corner of the room. Mr. Clarke stared at it, then pretending to ignore it, while I went to the front of the room to pick it up and put it in the bin. I then sat down in a seat at the front corner, behind one of my friends Ben Conrad (who was a skinny boy I was pretty good friends with around that age). We were trying to copy things off the board, and Mr Clarke had written a list of things. However, my eyesight made them really blurry, and he’d written them in a green pen which meant that I couldn’t read his writing properly. I asked Ben what the penultimate word said, and he replied “it’s hydration”. I thought that he was wrong and told him so, as I could make out too many loops in the word for it to be “hydration”. Mr. Clarke heard us disagreeing and said “instead of asking him, why don’t you put your glasses on?” and pointed at the glasses sitting on the edge of my desk, which I hadn’t noticed until this point. So I put my glasses on, and I saw that the word said “H500000″, and Ben had been right. (Apparently, in my dream, “H500000″ was equivalent to “hydration”, because that’s obviously the correct formula!) I just remember Mr Clarke looking at me and smiling, and then I woke up.
