Dream 1 - Running

I was running down a spiral staircase in a circular tower. I was being chased by a giant fantasy tiger like creature and several smaller, identical ones ( a,f ). Then the scene changed to an out of body view of the tower from the outside ( i,c ). The sky was purple, the tower was made of stone with a blue roof ( c ). It had small windows, but my perspective was to far away to see inside. I was then back in my body briefly before I awoke.

Two aspects of this dream came from video games. The tiger like creatures from one, and the scenario of being chased down a spiral staircase in a tower from another. I wont bore you with any more details.

Dream 2 - Singing

I don't really have good recall of this one, so I'll just copy directly what I noted down on paper in the middle of the night.

"Singing person as though good or famous. Pity?"

Dream 3 - School

This was my final, longest, and most detailed of the night, occurring right before finally waking up and ending my sleep for the night. The order of events is very muddled.

I was back at secondary school ( c ). I was in a lesson of some kind, but instead of a classroom we were in the main hall -- I was near the door ( c ). We were sat with the tables joined together in rows spanning the room. I was sitting next to an old friend, C, on my right and a girl I went to school with, H, on my left.

Recently I passed C in the street in reality and we had a conversation. I hadn't seen him for 7 years since leaving school. H I also hadn't seen for as long. She was the cutest girl in class and it turned out she liked me and asked me out. But this was in the first year of secondary school when I was 11/12 years old and I messed it up so it never really went anywhere. The configuration of the seating arrangement is significant to me because in one class she sat on my left and always wanted to swap seats.

The former prime minister of the UK, Gordon Brown, was my father ( c ). He wasn't there but I was aware of the fact. I get the sense that people in the class were discussing the fact, but it's not clear. Anyway, I hated him with a passion. There had just been an election, which he lost, and I was wondering if one day I would be the prime minister myself.

There recently was an election in the UK which he lost, of course. I did and do hate him. Weird that he was my father though.

John Locke, the character from Lost, was in my class ( c ). He was across the other side of the room. For some reason the tables were being re-arranged to make larger rectangular tables where people would sit facing inwards. I was excited at the prospect of it causing arguments for some reason ( i ). I wanted Locke to sit facing my friend C so that they would be more likely to argue with each other. I was very keen to stay sat next to H but she decided to sit next to her friend, M. Instead I ended up next to a girl, J, I knew from way back in primary school when I was about 10 years old -- her name was different from what it really is though ( c,f ).

I don't really know what's going on with the Lost stuff other than that my friend, C, reminds me of Jack from Lost in that he was kind of the leader figure in my circle of friends back then. The seating thing seems to be mixing two really weird school memories about girls.

There was a guy who's a journalist online in the class, S ( c ). The teacher, who was my Biology teacher, Mrs. H, from back in secondary school, comments about how it would be strange if he were to meet himself in different timelines or through time travel ( c ). S responded that he had actually met himself twice over and been in a room with three of himself ( c ). I made the joke that it was really "deep" because he has a notoriously deep voice ( a ). Everyone laughed at my amazing joke.

There was a scene in a courtyard -- but I think maybe it was earlier than previous scene -- in which there were TV cameras ( c ). I seemed to know what was going on and was explaining it to someone.

Back at school we left the main hall / class. There was a black and white hand drawn map across from the boys toilets on the wall, but I was somehow aware that it was out of date and wrong ( f,c ). An old acquaintance (I wouldn't say friend), G, said it was my fault because I had forgotten to update the map. But I said I wasn't going to re-draw it by hand when I could just go and print it out from the computer. We headed up stairs to English class and were stopped by a teacher who wanted to know why we were out of class. For some reason I couldn't stop thinking about how I was going to pin the map to the wall later. Next another old friend walked past us also heading upstairs, R. R was carrying a full colour map that was larger than the one on the wall ( c ). Then I woke up.

I'm at a loss for much of the later half of the dream.
