I've got ongoing relationship problems, whichj really isn't helping me concentrate on dreams. And I can't read my writing from when I woke lst night.

Lots of fragments, 1 full dream:

1) Clearing out a fridge. I was searching for the thermostat and couldn't find it, I was convinced that my wife had hidden it and was getting annoyed with her. I was pulling out old food and putting it in a bag to throw away.

2) In London cycling up a street. Then I was walking along the pavement in the dark trying to avoid people. I threw something in a bin.

3) I was at the site of a new shopping centre. The central pillar had just been put up and metalwork was being bolted to it. I made a comment about 'not another shopping centre being built' and got some dirty looks from people who were very excited about it. The we were on a tour of the bulding site. I was amazed at how quickly it was being put together I could see the full air conditioning system in place with hundreds of pipes. We were shown the main air conditioning and heating unit in a massive room. It looked complicated and I looked at all the dials and pipework and saw lots of detail, then wandered through the control rooms.

4) A freind stood on the back of a boat. He needed help but no-one had heard him shout. He was stuck. I went over to him and he offered me a drink I looked in his fridge and chose a tomato juice.

1) I was in a class and was asked to read. I looked at the page and couldn't understand the writing, looked back and it had changed. I knew immediately that I was dreaming, but looked at a hand to check and it looked very odd. For some reason I remember then thinking "I'm dreaming" but it shouldn't be like this, and lost lucidity immediately. I was then in a playground and I can't remember anything else from that dream.

2) Looking back over a skyline and seeing a tennis court with 2 high chairs at each end. Then I was playing football with a boy with a tennis ball.

3) Looking at a clockface, it was raised and golden. The clock was really old and in a wooden case. I was fiddling with the mechanism and adjusting how fast the clock was going. Then I was with someone else and it was like being in school we had to collect our drawings from the week, I collected a few they were some that I remember my children drawing when they were younger. Then I was in a university canteen chosing lunch. I looked at all the food and remember it in detail. There was a vegetarian moussaka, a girl sitting to the side had her elbow in the salad of the one I wanted and I was abit annoyed that she was touching it but decided to have it anyway. The serving lady said I had to eat the salad first then she would heat up the moussake. I ate the salad then she took it away to put it in a microwave. I looked at the time and notice dthat I had an appointment and couldn't be late so rushed off and didn't have time to eat. Other things happened that I can't remember. Then I was outside an old people's home and someone had been put into an ambulance thatset off on blue lights, it didn't go very fast and I was discussing with someone about why they bothered using blue lights.

4) I was stood by the front door of my childhood home. There were two black panthers outside, and I was struggling to lock the door so they couldn't come in. Then my family arrived home in the car, I could see my wife looking at the panthers. A young man was then fighting with one of them, he was losing and he was bleeding heavily from his neck. My family came over to the door with the young man, they were talking at the front door rather than getting in and I started kicking one of the panthers. I think I woke up then.

1) Sitting around a table. Very small portions of food. I complained to the woman sitting next to me and she agreed they were getting smaller. I asked for some more but just got a teaspoon of gravy added to the side of my plate. Bit of a theme here.

2) It was lunch time in a school canteen. The children were all rushing over to get their lunch. I had to serve so moved a serving table around and cleared all the rubbish off the top of it. Continuing the food theme.....

3) I was with a patient and noticed that he was interested in lucid dreaming, congratulated him and told him that I was interested as well but hadn't had a lucid dream yet
