The Mattress Stepping Stones (Night of 16/01/2018)

I am on holiday - or at least on some day trip to the countryside. I am with someone else - I can't remember who now. A corner of a field, under the shade of trees. A small river runs along the side of the field. I go to investigate the corner of the field, and see that there is a small pathway across the water. The pathway is made of small squares of some interlocking soft material, like miniature mattresses, actually floating in the water. This in no way heeds the rivers progress. Am I able to get across? I nudge one of the mattresses which sinks below the surface as I do so. No. I would end up in the water if I did. I am unsure how deep the water is. Perhaps if I ran quickly across? My companion warns me not to, that this would be dangerous.

It is important that Flash - the border collie - gets to go on holiday. He has worked well and deserves it. It is important that he knows he is important. Outside by a van. A number of other people about, presumably Louise his owner?

A small office occupied by three people, one of them being the character 'Keith' from The Office. Keith is annoying someone else in the office, something to do with an overhead projector.

(possibly connected to the above dream)
I am in a pub - possibly with Joe and Andrew - they go outside (for a cigarette?) and I decide to move floors. I go downstairs and sit down by a table in which I know one of the party. Is this my drink on the table next to me? Or is it this one? I am unsure. Am I meant to be sitting here? I have a vague feeling that I have annoyed the woman at the table by being here. My ale looks fizzy. Should it be like that? What if I am drinking someone else's drink? I text my friends to let them know I have changed floors for 'a change of scene'.
