I had two dreams last night
 
In the first I am on a container ship with a group of others and Donna Noble/Catherine Tate, We are being allowed to play with the crane to place crates on the ship. We are doing it very badly – it’s all haphazard. I do my crate – again really wonkily placed, and then it’s Donnas go. For her turn we have to go off the upper levels and onto the crew deck, near the bow. I climb down and jump down the crates (even though I know they are container sized, I don’t get hurt) and one of the ships crew tells me to be careful. I get down to the deck with the others and watch as Donna makes an even worse job than I did. SO bad that the thing starts sliding/rolling towards us. We run towards the shelters on the ship (there is one either side of this deck – just in case) and we all take shelter – the crate falls into the sea a little way out. The dream fades with one of the crew berating the others for letting us play with the crates. Though it turns out that that crate had all our stuff in it (except mine – I had it in my backpack.)
 
Then the dream shifts and I am on some sort f a military base. I am a corporal, and I am with another corporal who is from America. I go to the mess and get introduced to the two corporals we will be joining, then I go meet my partner the next day I think. We go back to the mess, and I call for the woman who was still on the base. She’s been promoted, and so has my companion. I congratulate both and then they start discussing why they were promoted and why the lad is here instead of America – something to do with him not being up to fighting. All the time I am at attention. Then they stop and I report in – I stumble over the corporal/lieutennant thing at first. And the woman greets me warmly. As we wander outside, she asks about my ‘odd’ name. Says I must have hated it. I agree I didn’t like it – too plain and boring. Then she goes off and I suggest a walk with my american colleage beyond the base is a plain, possibly a sandy beach. I see a horse running along it, water splashing, and beyond a forest. Then I woke up.
