I was in the local shopping centre but I can’t remember if I was with Chris or if I was meeting Chris there. I/we were going along a narrow walkway but it split into two paths just ahead of where we were. There was a security guard blocking both paths with his arms. I/we decided to take the path on the right and for some reason he lifted his arm and let me/us past.
Then I was in the arcade of the cinema. I seemed to have gotten my job back working in the cinema. I was talking to Sarah so I told her to come over to Ben and Jerrys as that was where I was supposed to be. She followed me over but when I got there, there were loads of people behind the counter.
It turned out we had started serving wine so people had decided to go behind the counter and help themselves. I started shouting at them to get out and threatened to hit them with a baking tray when they wouldn’t leave but I was called to clean a screen before I could hit anyone.
They told me to clean screen 3 but in the time I hadn’t been working there, screen 3 had been swapped with screen 9. The whole lobby area was different too. The walls were white and the lighting was red. It felt very claustrophobic. I was cleaning the screen with one of the guys and he was pushing a new cleaning trolley around.
The weirdest thing though was his uniform. I was wearing the same uniform I always had worn, except that I now had a pair of black heels on. He was wearing fitted black trousers, a pale purple shirt, a red necktie and really high black heels. I asked him why he was dressed so weird and commented that his heels were even higher than mine. He just shrugged and said it was a new rule.
When we went into the screen, it was full of tables and chairs like you would have in a cafe. Rebecca was sitting at one of the tables with her boyfriend. She waved to me and said that she forgot I had gone back working here. I waved back and started cleaning the tables, wondering where the movie would be shown.
That’s all I remember but it was enough to leave me feeling quite confused!

Air Hockey March 19, 2010

I was starting a shift in work and I was meant to be getting a till because I was working in the pick-and-mix section. The manager that was in told me to go downstairs because I wouldn’t need a till. Somehow I assumed this meant I was to work on ushering. When I got downstairs I stood outside a screen for about half an hour.
I realised I didn’t even look like I was working so I decided to walk purposefully to the other end of the cinema. On my way I passed two of the guys I work with playing air hockey on a makeshift table. One of them had never played before and kept managing to make the puck bounce off the table. I heard one of the team leaders walking in the direction of the air hockey table so I started to walk away. By the time they reached the table I was too far away to be considered part of it.
I can’t really remember anything else. I hate dreaming about work.

I was with Chris in our local shopping centre. We were meeting up with his mom because we had said we’d look after his little brother for the day. He seemed really happy to see us but Chris’ mom didn’t look well. She looked like she was quite ill. We brought Chris’ little brother into a big department store where everyone liked to hang out.
Chris had to go to the toilet so it was just me and his little brother. But then he said he needed to go to the toilet too. He ran off to the bathrooms and I realised I shouldn’t just wait for him to come back, I should wait outside the toilets. I legged it up to the toilets like it was an emergency or something and I was out of breath when I got there.
I met a girl who I used to go to school with but we’d had a fight and hadn’t spoken in years. She was wearing our uniform from work so I asked her had she gotten a job in the cinema. She started going on and on about it and how much she loved it and how great it was that we’d be working together and so on. I couldn’t get away from her but when I finally did, both Chris’ brother was back from the toilet and hadn’t noticed me standing outside.
This is where it gets kind of disturbing. I went to join Chris’ brother back in the main part of the shop. He was sitting on the ground with his arms around his knees looking really really scared. It was clear something had happened but I didn’t know what. I ran up to him and when I reached him I found out that these guys who were sitting behind him had poured something on him, like oil but I’m not sure what exactly it was. I picked him up and held him in my arms while absolutely screaming at the guys. Chris came up at this point and told me to leave them as cleaning up his brother was the priority. I knew he was right so we took him back to the bathrooms.
The dream skips a bit then because the next bit has me meeting Chris on his break from work. It looked more like McDonald’s than a cinema though. I had bought chocolate nuggets (and spent ages picking them out) to share with him on his break. Our manager and another worker were standing beside us though so I offered some chocolate to them. Chris made a face at me as if to say I was sucking up to the manager so I stuck my tongue out at him. Our manager took some chocolate but the other woman said she had gone off chocolate ever since she had gotten a bad box of it one Christmas. I think that was the end of it.
I was so frightened for Chris’ brother, I woke up feeling horrible. I guess even though it was just a dream I felt responsible for it.

I was in this huge old-fashioned house along with everyone from work. Apparently it was our manager’s house and she wouldn’t let us leave. Everyone was just wandering around the house on their own. Somehow we knew that she was a cannibal and wanted to eat us. Not like she was chasing us around with knives or something but she was just keeping us there so she’d have a constant supply of food.
Everyone seemed very resigned to the fact that she was going to eat us because “that’s just what she does”. I figured that there must be a way of escaping the house so I started to look around. I bumped into another guy from work (can’t remember who) and he said he was looking for a way out too. I wished him luck but we decided to go it on our own because we thought forming a group would be too obvious and much more likely to fail.
I wandered down a corridor and I was looking at the paintings on the wall. Suddenly I was pulling one of them off the wall and there was a window behind it. I could see that it was nighttime outside. I slipped through the window and started running. Then Joanne was running beside me for some reason.
Out of nowhere my manager came chasing behind us. For some reason she was wearing a pair of kitten heels and they made a loud clicking sound with every step she took. As she was running, she said, “Oh I do love my new shoes!” in such a creepily happy way. Joanne and I were running towards a nearby hotel because we’d be safe there. I woke up before we reached it…or before she caught us.
Wonder how many people dream that their boss wants to eat them…

Lost Bag October 24, 2009

I was getting the bus to work with Chris but I had my uniform and all my stuff in a gym bag with me. When the bus stopped, I got off first and I turned around to wait for Chris. As he walked towards me I realised I had left my bag on the bus. I ran towards the bus but it was pulling away. I waved my hands at the driver but he wouldn’t stop the bus or open the doors or anything, even though he saw me.
I got really upset and Chris was trying to comfort me by saying that we’d go to the bus company tomorrow and check their lost property. I didn’t know what to do about my work uniform because I had to start my shift. Chris told me not to worry about it, that we’d find a spare uniform, it would be alright. I started to cry because I’d lost my keys and stuff (seems a bit of an overreaction) and I didn’t think I would be able to get them back. The last thing I remember is Chris leading me into work by the hand, still trying to calm me down.
I hope I never lose my bag and react like that.

Busy Day Out October 7, 2009

The first part I can remember is set in the cinema. I was there with Chris and we’d gotten tickets for someone but we’d gotten them for the wrong time so we had to change one of them. The tickets had pictures of the movie they were for on them too. We went up to box office and there was a guy working there who isn’t normally on box office. He got really confused about what we wanted to do because Chris had thirty vouchers as well and he thought that we wanted thirty tickets for the later movie. We eventually explained that we just wanted one ticket because it was for a friend and he was refunding the other ticket for us but he’d forgotten why we wanted the refund so he said, “Oh just make something up and write it on it”. We got our tickets and were walking away when another guy from work started talking to us. Neither of us liked the guy though so we were trying to get away.
I dragged Chris into the arcade saying I really wanted to go on the dance machine, which conveniently got us away from the annoying guy. I was going to go on the dance machine by myself but then these two guys who I know (but they looked like strangers, you know how it is in dreams) were messing around on the player two buttons. This was messing up my game because it was a really fancy dance machine that took your weight into account so you didn’t have to step on the buttons really hard. I ended up giving out to them and leaving with Chris.
We went to a department store that was spread out over at least five floor with escalators between each floor. People were like jogging around the store to train as well though. Chris and I were on the book floor and I saw a guy carrying a load of Glasvegas books. I went to call Chris because he loves Glasvegas but I couldn’t find him. I went in the direction that the guy had gone, I’m not sure why. He had disappeared though and I ended up at the escalators and I started running up them like the joggers were doing. I ended up on the top floor, which was full of kids’ clothes. I remember thinking that there was no way Chris would be up here so I went back down. I think that’s all that happened.
The thing that struck me about this dream was that I was far more active in it then I ever would be in real life. Running up escalators? Not my style!

Disjointed Dream October 6, 2009

This is actually the dream I had on Friday night, I haven’t had a chance to go online and post it until today. It was very disjointed and I can’t remember parts of it but I’ll do my best to make it into a coherent dream.
The first part I remember was in work. Someone’s grandma worked with me and wanted her break at the same time as me so I could show her around town but I wanted to go to a football match with Chris or something. Then I was in town with Chris. We were going to go to a football match from town but we were running late. Chris said he’d just watch the highlights instead but we still went to the the football club’s grounds to do this.
Suddenly I was in Chris’ room, but he wasn’t there. I was with Rebecca, Lisa and Joanne. We were playing my DS and I was using Lisa’s iPhone to go online but she kept getting texts so I had to keep giving it back to her. Then my dad came in and was saying that he thought I was going to get an early night because I was wrecked. I said I was having too much fun.
The next thing I remember was I was in my kitchen but I was texting Lisa on my phone and we were talking about chipper because we’d both gotten chipper. She said that she’d gotten hake in batter and she sent me a picture of it.
Not really sure if that’s the whole dream or not but that’s all I can remember.
