Yes, I am a long way from home...

I was in a large field that had been harvested for crops. I think it was along a motorway. It was daytime and walked across its expanse, passing several little plastic tents with transparent windows that showed the tents were full of crops and fruit that were being grown (I think the tents created certain temperature conditions that helped them grow). The fruit were mainly bananas and the crops vegetables such as cabbages. I also saw trees with coconuts and mangoes (though the trees didn't look like normal coconut trees). In the distance, I could also see silos and sheds. I wasn't sure where I was going, but I knew for certain that I was a long way from home. For some reason, I wanted to climb into one of the tents and fall asleep; it was almost as if I didn't have a home or anywhere to stay. I also kept on telling myself how convenient it would be to camp out here, surrounded by all the fruit and other crops, but I couldn't find a way into the tents as they did not appear to have any openings. So I continued walking.

At some point, I decided to turn and go back the other way because I didn't want to get lost. As I did, I started noticing other people in the field. I think they were farm hands. Anyway, I didn't want them to see me, so I made my way back to where I came from with stealth and caution. I later found myself in a building which was a cross between a portacabin office, shed and a factory. I think this was where I came from. The building had an almost maze-like structure to it. That's all I can remember.

Incidentally, I've been having sleeping problems for the last year or so, but recently it has gotten worse. I actually had this dream the morning I'd called in sick for work because I'd been up the night before and was too tired to go in (physically and mentally exhausted).
