I was at home, and I really needed to go to the supermarket because there was no food in the house. I had received a letter from the bank that morning saying that something was wrong with my credit card. Although the card itself hadn't expired, the ability to use money on the card had expired. I phoned the bank and they said they couldn't see anything wrong with it. I decided to go to the supermarket anyway, but I still had a nagging feeling that my card wasn't going to work.
I got to the supermarket and filled up a trolley full of food. I did my best to get all the cheapest options, just in case the card failed. I got to the till and was served by a young man. The shopping came to £36. I gave him my card, and as I'd expected, it failed. I asked him to try again, but it failed again. I knew I would have to phone the bank again when I got home, but in the meantime I really needed to get some food. I think I had children in the dream, and I needed to get food for them. I looked in my purse and I had a £10 note. I asked the man to help me pick as much food from the trolley as I could for £10, but he said he couldn't because everything had already been scanned through. My only option was to pay for it. I explained the situation and by this time I was starting to get a bit teary through frustration and embarassment. I asked if there was anything he could do to help me. He explained that every till had an overflow safe which was used to store the money that the cashier accidentally gained through giving incorrect change etc. He told me he would look in the till. There was exactly £36 in there, so he took it out and used it to pay for my shopping. I was so grateful I could have kissed him. I finished shopping and left, promising myself that I would write a letter to his manager, commending him for helping me, without actually stating where he got the money from.
Back at home, I met up with a female friend of mine. In one corner of my living room was a huge glass-fronted freezer, with 4 doors, like you'd find in a supermarket. The bottom left side of the freezer cabinet was frosted up, and my friend pointed this out to me. I chipped away at the ice, revealing piles of ice cream tubs. Somehow, the items in the freezer represented people in a nearby prison, and the ice cream tubs were visitors. The fact that they had been trapped in the ice meant the visitors in the actual prison had been unable to leave. I told my friend this was extremely dangerous, and if there had been a fire then the visitors would have died. I knew I needed to have a very serious conversation with whoever was in charge of defrosting the freezer.
My friend and I needed to get changed to go to a formal event. I put on a pink gown with 6 inch black stilettoes. The shoes were amazing and I loved them. He had to walk down about 8 flights of stairs to get to the floor where the event was being held. There was one lowere level, but this was where the bathrooms and cloakrooms were. I didn't realise this at first, and started walking down the last flight of stairs, but I realised quickly and headed back up. I bumped into a girl I knew from college called Amanda. She was wearing a white gown with a gold pattern on it. It was a nice dress, but she didn't look right in it. It was too big and she just looked like a little girl who was wearing her mum's clothes. She looked me up and down as she passed, like she was judging me, but I knew I was looking really good. I went back up to meet my friends, and we had to walk up one last flight of stairs. We met with two more friends on the stairs. I kept stopping to lift my foot up and show them my shoes, but because of the angle of the stairs, they couldn't see them. I made them all stop once we reached the top so that I could show them my shoes, and they all agreed that they were amazing.

I was at some sort of garden centre ith my parents, and we were just wandering round, browsing. There was a group of men in one room, all talking loudly. One of them as Australian, and quite nice looking, and there was a brief moment where we made eye contact and he stopped talking. I smiled and looked away, then carried on walking round. Afterwards, I realised that he'd been wearing a tshirt with the logo of the company I work for, and I realised we must be colleagues. I'd never seen him before, and I know most of the office staff, so I figured he must be one of the remote engineers. A part of me wished I could figure out who he was and call him, but it was only a passing whim - I realised we'd never met, and a moment of eye contact was nothing to base a fantasy on.
A few days later, I was doing a job which involved me infiltrating a large corporate building. I think I was some kind of spy I had managed to get a uniform for the company, so I fitted in, and I was keeping my head down trying not to attract attention. After a while, my phone rang, and when I answered it, it was the Australian man. I was thrilled, but a little concerned at how he found my number. We chatted for a while, it was a bad line and I couldn't hear him very well, so I kept having to ask him to repeat himself. I explained to him that I was at work, and he knew what type of work I was doing, so he said he understood that I might have to stop talking for a few minutes at a time, but he wanted to stay on the phone.
I continued to creep around the building, all the while I had the Australian man on the phone. Whenever I found a restricted area or a locked door, I would stop talking while I concentrated on going in, but then the conversation would continue. This carried on for around 2 hours, and I was doing really well at finding my way through the building. At one point, I saw my ex-boyfriend Gareth. I must have told him about what had happened at the garden centre, because he knew the Australian man was on the phone, and he gave me the thumbs up. After a while, I can't remember what I did, but I managed to attract some attention and knew it was time to leave. I managed to slip out of the building, knowing I was being followed the whole time. Outside, I started to run through the streets. I was being followed by an increasingly growing group of people. I managed to cross the road and hide behind a flower bed without anyone realising, and I watched the other people run past me. I explained to the man on the phone that I had been caught, and he was worried. He started referring to me as his girlfriend, and I panicked - I wasn't ready for that. I tried to explain to him that he barely knew me, and maybe we should go on a couple of dates first, but he was clearly offended and annoyed at me. While we were talking, I realised that one of the women who managed the company I infiltrated was standing nearby. She had a group of young people with her - around 16/17 year olds, and she was teaching them how to find me. One girl was complaining that her outfit didn't look as good as it had done in the shop when she bought it. Still on the phone, I tried to sneak away, but they saw me. For the first time, I was genuinely terrified that I would be caught, and I started screaming uncontrollably, and running away towards another large building nearby.
I ran into the building, which had dozens of floors, and was laid out like a maze. I started climbing up through the floors, each being different - one was an office, the next would be a shop, then a lab, etc. At one point, I saw Gok Wan filming a fashion programme on the other side of the floor, but I kept running. The next flight of stairs was bizarre - it was made of a series of fake cushions protruding from the wall. At certain points, the next "step" was missing, but the previous one would be bouncy making it easy to miss the gap. I realised that these cushion stairs were a part of Gok's programme - the finale would normally involve the newly made-over woman making her entrance via the staircase.
The next area seemed to be a bookshop, but was made up of many interlinking rooms. The man on the phone was still there, and still annoyed with me, though he seemed concerned at what was happening. At one point, I found myself in an empty white room with three doors in it. One door led to a disabled toilet, one was where I had just come from, so I headed through the third door. I found myself face to face with the woman who had seen me earlier, so I instantly doubled back. I opened the second door, to go back where I had come from, but I saw a mob of 20 or so people all waiting for me. I attempted to run into the toilet, ut saw that there was nowhere to go. My pursuers closed in from both sides, as I dropped to my knees, crying, still connected to the Australian man's call. I realised that as I was killed, he would hear it all, and wondered if he would hang up or stay.

I have forgotten the beginning of this dream, but it was connected in some way to a prison - I was a convict, and the prison looked more like the back room of a supermarket. I think I was a serial killer, and people were afraid of me, but there was a male prisoner there who I was in love with, and was trying to find.
The first part I recall vividly, I was entering an enormous stately home with a couple of friends - one man and one woman. The house was really enormous, and I knew I had been there before many years ago. We first entered an entrance hall, which was about the size of a football field. It had a huge high ceiling, and paintings hanging on the grey stone walls. There was only one other door, directly opposite us, so we headed through there to end up in the back garden. The garden was just a concrete yard, and seemed to be raised up, as though it were outside the top storey of the house, despite the fact that we had stayed on the ground floor. It was really shadowy, because the sun was on the other side of the house. The house looked like a normal Victorian terraced house from out here - it had neighbours on both sides with identical gardens, though they were both on different levels, as though the street was built on a hill. Looking into the neighbours yards, I suddenly felt a deep terror, as though I knew something supernatural and evil had happened here, so we went back inside the house. I remembered that in order to get to another room, we had to solve a puzzle connected to all the paintings. It was sort of like a treasure hunt - one painting would give you a clue which led you to another painting, and so on until you had solved the puzzle.
We managed to figure it out, and a door opened underneath a fireplace on the right hand wall, but for some reason I had to go outside before I could go through, so I told me friends to go ahead. I left the house and went home (back to my parents' house, rather than my own). There was a beautiful black silk dress hanging on the front of my wardrobe, but I didn't put it on. When I left to head back to the stately home, I bumped into Selena Gomez. In the dream I had known her for a long time, but we really didn't get on - I think she was the daughter of one of my friends or something. I knew I had to take her with me, so we walked together. When I arrived back at the house, the outside had changed. Instead of a Victorian stately home, it now looked like a 1920s style theatre, or cinema - very art deco style, and lit with blue lights. It was in the middle of a crowded street. When we went inside, we ended up back in the same enormous entrance hall, but the style had also changed. Floor, ceiling, and walls were now a dark turquoise, and coated in an extremely smooth material - similar to laminate flooring, but without any seams. There were white lights dotted around the walls, which still had paintings and the fireplace on them. In the centre of the room was a small glowing spot, which I knew was like a meeting place for us - after solving every puzzle, we had to return to this spot. We had to re-do the painting puzzle, but I already knew the answers, so it didn't take long. We then returned to the meeting spot, which "refreshed" the room, and prompted a new puzzle. We solved maybe 5 puzzles, then we got stuck and couldn't figure out what to do next.
We eventually managed to find a clue which told us to go outside the building. When we did, I looked up and the front of the building and noticed that what I had taken to be a pattern on the front of the building was actually a series of lights. It was a pyramid made up of vertical rectangles. there were 4 rectangles in a row, then three on top of them, then two on the next row. I assumed there was something topping off the pyramid, but I couldn't see it - it was too dark. Each rectangle was split vertically with a line, and there was a blue light on each side of the line, which lit up half of the rectangle. The first 2 rectangles on the bottom layer were completely lit up, and half of the thirs was. It occurred to me that each half of a rectangle represented a puzzle. We would have to solve 8 puzzles on the first layer, in the big blue room. When we had solved these, a second room would open up and we would be able to start solving puzzles in there, until we had solved six and lit up the second layer - and so on until the pyramid was complete. We had three more puzzles to solve in this room, but we were still stuck.
For some reason, I thought that maybe I should go and put on the black dress from home - I had no idea where it had come from, so I thought it might be connected. We went to my house and I put it on. It was beautiful, made from thick black silk. It was strapless, with a fitted waist, then had an A-line skirt with netting under it, which touched the floor. On the back of the skirt was a large pleat which had a sort of train hanging out, which trailed on the floor. There was a small row of diamond flowers across the top of the dress. It was a little to big around the top, but the rest fit perfectly. We went back to the blue room, and found a new puzzle had appeared - it looked like it had been influenced by the dress after all. We were halfway through the puzzle, when Selena did something to the light in the centre of the room, and it seemed to reset the room back to how it had been when we first entered - paintings and the original puzzle. I ran outside, and all the lights had gone out, and I knew we had to start all over again. I was really angry, and started yelling at her, but she didn't seem bothered. She said that the light acted like the save point in a game, and we could reload our game. She did something else to the light which brought up a screen of various images and titles of puzzles. I knew right away that ours was not there, but she insisted that one called Pellymeaz was ours, and started to load it up. I suddenly realised that I had been through this entire process once before, and that Pellymeaz was a puzzle from the third room, involving little tiny creatures which people referred to as "bellybuttons", because they looked like just that. When she loaded the level, three of these bellybuttons appeared - one red, one blue, one yellow. They moved by jumping, and the object of the puzzle was to guide them through a maze of shallow water tunnels. There were dozens of other people doing this task too. Selena took one bellybutton, and two other people took the others, and they strated flicking them through the water maze, like they were playing tiddlywinks. Selena started singing Pellymeaz over and over again to the tune of "Let It Be", and the two others joined in. The other contestants in the room found it hilarious for some reason, and soon the whole room was laughing.
