10/06/10 - I dreamt I was on a 'day out' with work and we were going to a place that taught wave riding (Like surfing but more extreme). It looked really fun on the flyer so we were all looking forward to it.

When we got there though, the changing rooms were really grim. They were communal rooms, showers and the area wasn't well lit. The floor was soaking wet and the place was a bit like a maze, you could easily forget which area your bags were in (There were no lockers.) The creepy thing was while you were walking through (as you had to, to get to the main pool area) we kept seeing small lightening bolts of electricity, mainly coming from the control room for the wave machine. They came really close, and we couldn't understand why no one had been seriously injured by them. So we were all freaking out about that. It was a really weird place. The showers had urinals in them and there was a cattle grid type thing which we had to walk over, where girls would squat to have a wee! One of the staff said it was because it was quicker that way...

There was a group of pros in the pool and the wave machine was making waves that were about 20ft tall. It looked really scary and dangerous. The waves seemed out of control, it didn't look fun at all. The pros didn't seem scared at all, they seemed like the kind of people that were here every day practicing. The strange thing was they didn't use surf boards. It was like they were doing training exercises.

We all got in the pool. The wave machine wasn't on at first. So it was just like swimming warm up exercises that we were doing. I remember having my watch on in the pool and thinking to myself 'thank god its waterproof'. I had my nans wedding ring on too and i was paranoid it was going to come off my finger and sink to the bottom of the pool.

It was hard to move around in the pool, it was as if we were all in normal clothes. We had a few races, then it turned into a game of water volley ball. After that, the pros were back and they were all stood round the edge of the pool. They put on a sort of show for us, they kept diving into the pool, but once they were in, it was like they were a DVD someone had pressed reverse on, and they'd jump back out, feet first. It was because the pool had reverse gravity, so once they'd gone in, they were thrown back out, like they'd hit a trampoline or something.

After that we went back into the horrible changing room place to shower and get changed, but someone had put all our bags on the wet floor, which had about an inch of water covering it, so all our stuff was soaked. The only nice thing was the showers were really warm.
