Dreams:

        Bathroom

    To begin with, I'm swimming peacefully in the swimming pool. The layout is slightly different from reality. On the end of the pool is a shop like area.
    A woman is walking round the edge of the pool towards the shop. I swim towards the edge and pull myself out. She walks down one aisle and I'm on the other side, divided by a glass screen. She keeps walking and pays no notice of me. I run away and jump back into the pool.
    As soon as I hit the water I’m sat in a shallow bath with all my clothes on. Another young woman is sat over me, watching. She tells me she is the sister of the woman at the pool.
 

        Fortress

    Climbing up the stone steps inside a castle, there are tourists drifting around and taking pictures. I'm alone and making my way to the summit. At the very top, I clamber over some safety rails and peer over the edges that surround me on three sides. On one side is a huge car park with people milling around, and on the other is the ocean. Parts of the bastion have already been washed into the sea, but this part, the keep, is still intact. I say to myself that the fortress hasn't long to stand.
 

        Siege

    Firstly I am on an aeroplane that has lots of young couples on. The next second I am in a murky harbour with lots of big warehouses. There is a faction that we have to stop from escaping in one warehouse. Our group spreads itself out along the beach and spends many days watching the warehouse.
    The lookout furthest from our base is a woman, and I go down to see her. She is lying on her back looking up at the heavens, and we converse for a while. I say that I'll relieve her of guard duty, but first I have to go back and get my gun. I start to make my way back to base, and I look at the fantastic sunset, but in seconds my visibility is zero as thick, dense, grey cloud settles. I actually have to lift the heavy cloud up as I walk, making moving an arduous process.
    When I finally get to the warehouse, I get news that the woman who I was talking to has been shot. I feel very sad. The person who told me the news abruptly falls over with blood seeping out of their back, and I realise they’ve been shot too. The people we are trying to stop escaping are outside and getting into their car. I aim my gun at them, and so does the rest of the team, but nobody shoots.
    We get into our car, and I drive us away. Our mission has failed and I am very sad about the death of the woman. On the side of the road, we see another young woman who was part of our team. I speed up and find another way back to her, as the road she was on was a one-way street.
 

        Submarine

    I am on a large nuclear submarine in the far South Pacific. We are trying to get into a position to fire missiles, and eventually we launch. I press the button and watch in shock as they all stream towards Antarctica, which was not the designated target. There are about 50-100 missiles. On the missile map, they all impact. One of the crewmen sits in front of a big TV screen, waiting to watch the waters of the world rise.
    Our submarine surfaces and we look out of the periscope. Submarines surround us; one of them is identical to ours. They have formed a square cordon patrol around us and are circling. We go to full speed and attempt to dart out between two of them. On our first attempt, one of the people up on top watching falls overboard. On the second attempt we manage it and submerge.
    Much later, we tentatively surface to find ourselves in an icy tunnel. Alongside us is another submarine, and we journey along the tunnel together.
 

        Tsunami

    In a valley, the sun has gone down and people are running around hysterically. Old looking houses are dotted about the narrow streets and the steep sides of the valley are covered with foliage. A woman is with me and we are running away from what apparently is a large tsunami, roaring down the valley. After running through waterlogged streets in the hammering rain, I come to a waterfall with tropical style creepers. I climb, not paying attention to the woman behind me. At the top, I glance back to see where she is. The tsunami approaches and for some reason I grab a creeper and swing down back into the valley, into the path of the wave. I come to the entrance of the town, and scramble on top of a wall, just as the waters rush over me.
