#414 - 8:44AM - DILD

WBTB 3:30AM 8mg Galantamine/400mg choline, 400mg DMAE
This one didn't go so well, but I was lucky enough to pull off one LD late in the morning purely out of desperation.

I am trying to enter my email login on my phone to see an important email from my mortgage broker. Nothing I type comes out right so I look for my laptop. I have an false awaking and become slightly lucid. I think how typical the previous dream was for electronics failure.
Next I notice SW from work in bed with us. I know it's not real, but I am snuggled against him and I find it mildly humorous. I push him away and initiate sex with my wife by actively summoning and creating the sensation. Several odd thoughts race through my mind as we do it for a few moments.
I am now in a classroom in a chair with a trash can between my feet.

Spoiler for EXPLICIT:

Spoiler for NO REALLY I MEAN IT:

Spoiler for I WARNED YOU:

I notice that have my pants down and I am scooted up on the edge of the seat and sort of hunched forward like I am on the toilet. I realize that I am making slight humping motions so I look down. I see my erect penis with a long string of cum slowly dripping off the tip.

Shocked at my nakedness and sexual nature, I wonder how my dream would cause me to literally end up like this. I look up and see an and old woman that is an ex-coworker (dead) looking at me sort of curious as well as shocked. I quickly pull my shirt down to cover myself. I feel disoriented and confused. I wonder how I could have had such an obvious sex dream in public. I realize that I am in a room pf coworkers both past and present and if feel embarrassed and devastated that this is happening. I'll never live it down. My life is ruined. I pull my shorts up not really getting my underwear and they king bunch down low, but I don't care as long as I am covered. I feel so sleepy and I rub my face and sigh heavy trying to get my bearings. I still can't believe this has happened. I don't even know how I fell asleep. I try to ignore everyone around me as I deal with this trauma; I just want a way out. I begin to hope that by some miracle of divine magic that I am in a dream. Maybe... I do a nose plug out of desperation and am completely delighted and surprised to blow through. I giggle and the feeling of hopeless despair rolls off me dropping like a lead weight. Forgetting about any nakedness, I stand up and walk over to a group of people talking. I think how I am highly lucid as I playfully push V (fired IWL) over and say I relief, "This is all a dream." V falls out of sight and I smile at everyone feeling triumphant and gleeful. Before I can do much else, the dream quickly collapses and I wake up.

I had another LD much earlier in the night but I cant recall much so I'm counting. Basically, I was running from some enemy when I became lucid and played with a gun. I wanted a shoot out so I blind summoned a rifle. I goes off against a glass but only scorching it. In some burned out building someones head peaked up outside a window. I fire off a shot, but the dream fades out.

Wbtb: I drag myself out of bed, drink a bit of latte (40?mg) and take lecitin, go straight back to bed trying to cut corners on staying awake. There is like zero effect on increasing my wakefulness but feeling guilty to be skipping my wbtb I keep waking up (yet still feel drowsy). I spend the remaining sleep time in a NREM limbo, a mix of deep sleep, HI and constant wakes.

There is a brief scene where I realize that am already in and start walking around but I either lose lucidity or wake up shortly after.

Keep turning and tossing annoyed that I just don't have the right wakefulness as I didn't do my wbtb. I repeat my goals and try to concentrate on my body.

I find myself staring at some screen ascertaining that I am in the dream. Everything is very unstable at this point so I just keep swiping the screen in front of me, pretending to be involved in the dream for a few seconds. When I feel I'm ready, I move to the side, which reveals that I am in my old room again. This is a bit annoying as I wanted to do the valentine card task, so I head towards the window. There is some furniture, slightly in the wrong place blocking the way. I close the cupboard door that blocks the way but it doesn't fully close and click and keeps opening. I just don't want to spend more time dealing with it, so I sneak forward while holding it then let it go. I go towards the balcony door which is closed and I try to open it via handle but it gets stuck. I decide to pull and it opens nevertheless. The action of opening this locked door produces a weird physical somewhat painful sensation in my body of resistance and as if the object is actually touching me (bearing some resemblance to phasing sensations).

I go outside and look around. I see the flowers and wonder could I be really dreaming? It looks very realistic and close to memory but is it possible that I still live here? Initially there are no DCs in sight which pisses me off due to the task I had in mind. I have to jump again but am almost certain that a quick jump or even a slow climb down can mess with stability at this point (due to quick change of perspective and reduction in tactile sensations). I look down and see one of the two sisters. She looks nasty as usual. I recall some contemplations about dealing with people from real life in dreams and decide to be honest with her. "Hey, you know what? You are really annoying"

After that I have no more desire to talk to her and contemplate going back inside to look for people within a reaching distance (I also wonder if I should just summon one here). The dream thins out.

I do a quick review, pissed off that I couldn't find any people, then continue with my limbo sleep.

After the nth turning and tossing, I find myself in another dream. It's a bright day and I am on a very distorted version of my old street. I immediately recognize it's a dream (awareness, no trigger). There is a middle aged woman with colorful knitted clothes and I remember the valentine card task. Very aggressively and without saying anything, I expect her to produce a card for me. She holds a number of items like banknotes, little pieces of paper, etc, that I browse but nothing looks like a V-card. Disappointed, I leave her and go down the street where I see bf and one of our friends. They look invitingly at me and I quickly go to where they are and ask bf if he has a V card for me. Alas, he coldly cuts me off "No." I think about how my expectations could have influenced his answer.

Bf and the other guy continue down the street. I catch up and try again "Are you sure you don't have a V card for me? I clearly remember you were carrying one!" This seems to do the trick and he hands me the V card. I examine it to see it has a number of Chinese characters on top and some almost normal words below them. There are a few love related words that are arranged like a short poem. As I try to read the words keep changing. I even hold the card from a distance to see if this would make a difference. I remember our brain actually doesn't need to read the entire word to make out the meaning.

Bf is still here and I say to him while wondering if he could possibly be dreaming too. "The words keep changing, see? Do you know why that is? It is because it's a dream."

I wake up.

-I was inside a classroom and a man was teaching us a formula for math. I wrote fS in the formula and he corrected me saying it was supposed to be fM. I corrected myself than the teacher left the classroom. Students began getting off task and thinking of ways to misbehave.I wasn't interested in being here or misbehaving so I left the classroom.

-I ended up hurting a important dc that was annoying me a lot. I tried to get rid of the evidence but i was chased outside the house. I was lucid while trying to get away from the dream characters but don't remember what i did so much.

-I was eating doritos with a few dream characters. One of them took without asking so i punched him in the face and told him never to touch my Doritos again..

*Sigh* I''m getting violent in my dreams. I need to change that and put myself in a lower position or I may become a tyrant of my own dream world.

Hello, I'm Rockefeller.
I'm from Belgium and I speak French, so sorry if sometime I write English bad.
I discover lucid dream when I was 15yo while watching Inception.

Dream 1 - Eavesdropping
I'm sitting in a bus with a guy called Jamie in the seat in front of me. He's talking to someone sitting next to him about how his girlfriend is having these mood swings, he wants to break up with her because she's getting to be a handful or something. I chip into the conversation and say that if she's suddenly started having mood swings for no apparent reason then she should go to the doctor, it's likely to be chemical or psychological or something that can be assessed.

Kind of a random dream, it comes from yesterday when we were on the bus ride back, Jamie is the person that just doesn't stop talking

Dream 2 - Sexy time
Me and my girlfriend are in the kitchen, I'm just in the corner of the room and she walks up to me and kisses me, we start fooling around and getting hot and heavy. Woot

I ignored a lot of the longer dreams I had last night because I felt they were incredibly mundane and boring... to the point where I just couldn't be bothered even trying to think about them. *Sigh* Was a bit too tired for lucid dreams last night I think.

I spent this weekend at a cabin without internet, water or telephone connection. A simple cabin with nice nature and snow. Well, let's talk a bit about my earlier attempts at a nice lucid.

WILD/WBTB: I've tried WILDs, bedtime 10-11pm, then wake up around 4-5AM. I got dreams, but not lucid dreams.
DILD: Well, just used some mantras and RCs right before turning into my sleepingposition.
I also try to DEILD when I wake up at weekends.

Well, this night I got around 3-4 dreams I remembered when I wake up and looked into my eyelids. I went through my 3-4 dreams in my head, and decided to try a WILD. Well, I counted to 80, and got tired. I don't remember much more, but decided to try to go back to my past dream, which was some old schoolmates in a mountain. I fell to sleep, and "woke" up in my old schoolbuilding. I noseplugged, and could still breath (I was aware of my real body when I noseplugged, and felt my real nose blow air really hard.), and put a finger through my palm. I decided to fly through the roof, and saw the isolation, but then I dropped down to the floor again. I tried to run through the wall, but at pure reflex, I stopped. I tried and tried, but couldn't walk through that one.

Usually when I WILD, I already have planned my dream. I wake up in my bed, going through the window, then flying over a blue sea to the moon. I tried to do that, but I don't have enough skills yet to pull that off. Also, I wanted to go to a partyplace, but don't remember much in a certain frame of time. The last thing I remember, is explicit.

Spoiler for EXPLICIT:

I was horny, and decided to find a sexy girl. I walked through my old school, and found a bit sexy schoolgirl, that I walked with, and dryfingered as I walked around the school with her. I think I found a sexy blondette later, and fucked her, but I don't remember much of this part.

All in all, I'm happy with the LD, and will try and try to get more of 'em. iFire out.

Non lucid
*I stood over this balcony holding a long piece of string over a small cup. I let go of the stream walk down the balcony and realize that the stream indeed landed with me small cup which I could not see from the top of the balcony.

Something to do with a dance-off taking place on a beach. There was an absurdly sized boombox (about the size of a semi trailer) being positioned on the beach. Then the power went out and the man organizing the dance-off was upset because the boombox had to be plugged in.


I was visiting at a hospital. This wasn't a normal hospital though, it was supposed to treat people of their worst fears. How? By making them suffer trough the trauma of their worst fear again and again but without pain. I don't know completely how this worked but they could make you experience your worst fear as many times as they wanted.

I don't remember if this was for punishment or what.

They had a means of extracting what your worst fear was subconsciously.

I remember seeing the first couple rooms closest to the desk. Patients were grouped by their fear. The people closest to the desk had the worst fear of 'death'. I remember them being hooked up to heart rate monitors. They would start and stop every ten seconds or so, so basically the patient was dying repeatedly in the bed.

I remember approaching one of the people on the bed. He looked like Liam Nisan for some reason, and he looked as though he was really peaceful. He told me quietly before passing through one of his deaths.

'my greatest fear is... death...'

...

I remember being back at the front desk. I was looking at a hospital form in a plastic tray. All of the boxes were filled with gibberish. But I could still read them clearly, and they still had English characters in them.

I was saying to myself how this didn't feel like a normal lucid dream. It felt too clear, too stable and too realistic to be a dream. I felt as though I might be astral projecting or something.

I decided to run a test on the dream to see how well it behaved. I jumped into the air and pushed my energy down. My little fire jets switched on. I was flying. I had to stay in control though, not hit any people. But this was all the proof I needed. This was a lucid dream, just a very clear and vivid one.

Sadly I didn't seem motivated to carry out any of my goals or dares.

I remember feeling like the dream went on for ten minutes or more. But unfortunately I don't have the dream recall to back that up. I do know that It ended with a false awakening.

Another thing I remember questioning while in the dream was the fact that I was not the least bit scared of the clinic, even thought its sole purpose was to invoke fear. It didn't seem like an evil environment in any way. There were no screams of pain or blood splatters on the wall. It seemed so peaceful, like fear was a good thing.

I false awoke in my bedroom and my cat had given birth to five cats, identical kittens. The scene was being narrated like a nature show.

Spoiler for Interpretations:

I don't really know what to make of this. I feel as though given the concept of the dream, it's meant to mean something important but I can't figure it out. I might come back in and change this if I am able to figure it out.

Before I jump into the lucid dream(s) I had last night, I would like to first state that I have been visiting Dream Views for a long time looking for different kind of tips and tricks to become and stay lucid. Two days ago I saw an article on Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dream where the suggestion was made to choose some object or something else for that matter and whenever you'd see it in waking life, you should do a reality check. So I decided to go really big and chose the color blue. Everytime I saw something blue I did a reality check and really questioned whether or not I was dreaming. Note that I did this for 1 day only. The results were (for me atleast) great.

"I'm walking in a badly illuminated building with multiple rooms adjacent to each other. All are connected through doors and every room is just as dark as the one before. I notice I'm following a guy, it seems as if he's leading me to someone. As I look around I notice something blue and I become suspicious. I check my hands to see that I own 12 fingers and I realize that I'm dreaming. Immediately after that I'm upright in my bed, as if awakened from a dream. I immediately notice that I don't remember the act of sitting up, so I suspected it to be a false awakening. After checking my right hand my suspicions were confirmed as I had 7 fingers on one hand.

As of now, I'm lucid, but everything is still very fuzzy, as always in the few times before I had a lucid dream. Instead of trying the regular techniques like rubbing my hands and spinning around to stabilize it, I assumed my subconscious to be a computer in which I could enter commands. I said 'Dream! Increase vividness to 100%!' and everything became crystal clear. Next I said 'Increase awareness to 100%!' and the level of detail and clarity I achieved was amazing. I had no trouble maintaining the dream and could freely walk through my house without feeling the pressure of the dream trying to take over.

I went into the kitchen and as it was still dark outside I wanted to turn on the light. However, my goal was to see how well I could control my dream, as I heard it's not too easy. So I decided to turn on the light with my mind. I focused on the bulb and hoped it would turn on. Instead, it leaned towards me as if I was trying to move it, but that was not my intention. I stopped for second and told myself that it's not about hoping it will turn on, but knowing that it will turn on since I'm in control and everything I want will happen. So I tried again and the light turned on. Goal achieved, so I went further.

At this point it's already light outside and I notice people wanting to come into the kitchen. This is when I decided to test another facet of control and I wanted to put in a door to keep everyone outside. I swiped from right to left and a door swiped in place. I was happy, but not for long. I realised that I put in a DOOR, so everyone opened the door and came in XD. So I went one step further and swiped again, this time swiping in a brick wall. Unfortunately someone got caught in the middle and entered the kitchen anyway, so I thought never mind.

Next I wanted to see if I could fly, still testing the extent of control. I focused hard and managed to get of the ground. The feeling is amazing! But onwards with the story. I flew throughout the house and got to my room where there is a balcony. I wanted to go outside and see where I could fly to, but it was quite a way down, so I had some doubt. I figured that if I would have something to fly on, perhaps that would be safer. At that moment my dad came in with a broom saying that I could use that. Well why not, witches use it, so I took it and sat on it. I'm still lucid at this point, so it was a sane decision :p. I floated up and towards the edge of the balcony. Eventually I turned around and went back into my room, not because I thaught I was going to fall, but because I sensed some doubt and assumed that if I were to fall, I would lose lucidity. That was too great a risk for me to take.

So now I'm in my room, thinking what I should do next to test my control. Then I remembered reading here that teleporting was also something, so I decided to try that. I closed the door and expected to open it and walk into the world of 'Murdoch Mysteries', a TV show I'm watching. So I opened the door and there was the morgue, exactly like in the show. I walked around to look at it and the resemblance was uncanny. Nothing much happened that was of significance and I believe the dream took over from there on out.

Next thing I remember is waking up. I was only a little bit disappointed but mostly really happy that I attained that level of lucidity. Today I will keep checking reality everytime I see blue and hopefully tonight I will feast again. This time I will be looking for the embodiment of my subconcious mind, I have some questions for him. Whoever is reading this, I strongly recommend trying what I did to become lucid. Maybe it will work for you, maybe it won't, but one can always try, right? Well, that's it for today, hopefully I will have a new experience to share tomorrow.

Dream 1 - I got kidnapped (happened 2 nights ago)
I'm in a homely bar or something, and a person who is doubling as a friend of mine walks in and is pretending to be him but I know he isn't... (the face of the person looks like no one I know). I can't make him mad or something though, so I have to pretend he is my friend, I help him connect to the internet on a laptop in the bar as I believe his intentions are to steal some stuff if he doesn't get what he wants. He ends up kidnapping me instead, because he thinks I'll be more valuable and can help him get what he wants. We're now on an island similar to Master Yoshi's home island on Dragonball Z, the water is blue and there are tropical trees and a small white house. I have to pretend to be his friend still, I know that the only way I can get off the island is if my real friends save me, which can only happen at a certain time due to the ocean currents changing their flow temporarily for 1 day... This leaves a very small window of opportunity. I remember finding something that I can use to get in contact with my friends, I rush through typing something out to them and then throw it as far as I can into the ocean before the 'fake' sees what I've done. He shows up and says something like "Oh wow you've done a number on that one", and is holding the broken thing I threw. I'm hiding my anticipation for escaping the island, I know that I've been on the island for something like 180 days and that the ocean currents are about to change. For some reason I think there is a sunset and it meant that my friends missed the window of opportunity, but they only just manage to make it to me and the next thing I know there is a train track around the house that the fake is trying to escape on, we've become the trains from that thomas the tank engine kids show (this part only lasted like 20 seconds), the driver is the fake friend and is trying to escape but I pull him out and throw him on the ground, he smashes like a lego piece and can't move because his arms and legs have fallen off. Me and my friends turn to leave now, as we leave I turn around again to find the fake sailing away on the grass on a miniature sail raft thing (He has arms and legs now and looks like a super tiny pirate).. the scenery is different too, it's more like the outside of my parents house in the yard. My memory connects him to the bar at the start where he apparently had put up these posters to draw attention (it doesn't make sense at all). He sails away on the grass into the bush so I run and catch him, I throw him off and show him the poster, "This is what started it all aye, not so proud now huh" I toss him aside and the day is won. Me and my friends head back to the bar now, there is a big celebration and party, the bar is quite cosy with dark brown wooden walls and lots of people. The focus is on these 2 people playing darts, a guy and a girl. The guy is known to be really good and the girl is an unknown, she gets up and challenges him. She has long dark brown curly hair, brown eyes and tanned skin. She turns out to be really good at darts and wins and everyone is cheering her on... And that's the end of my random dream O_O.

Dream 2 - Car crash (happened last night)
*Nightmare*
All I remember from this dream is that me, my girlfriend and my daughter were in a ute, my girlfriend was driving and we were in a forested suburban area. We seemed to be coming back from my field trip (of which they weren't a part of irl) where I had just taken a lot of strike and dip measurements for the regional geology. She drove up to a stop point and stopped, but as the way was clear and she started to drive on she suddenly stared blankly off to the distance with a glazed over look... She kept on driving and I had begun to shout something like "road road road!" or "turn turn turn".. something panicked and unsettled because we were heading straight for a wall and she was completely spaced out. I could only think of my daughter getting hurt and how scared I was, then we slammed into a cobblestone wall and I woke up.

Had to post these pretty late so details are missing and there aren't many dreams, I've been working in the field for the past 4 days away from home so I haven't had internet.

crazy late to bed but interesting dreams and a mini-epic

+ naked in a house, strangers enter, dive into hot tub/pool, taking out the 3 large, dry Christmas trees, the shack burned down

I'm in the living room of some home. I'm naked and standing near a fireplace mantle and picking up and trying out some bizarre metallic tools (look like freaky surgery instruments) on "the boys" very carefully (these tools look like they could cause severe damage). I notice outside the glass wall [dreamsign] to the back yard there are two stranger (guys and a girl) in the garden. They pull open the door and enter the room, I immediately dive headfirst into the small pool / large hot tub embedded in the floor of the living room right next to me, I tell them something briefly.

With some other guys, I'm carrying out 3 very tall completely dry/dead Christmas trees. As we're approaching the street I see a small foundation for a shack but the shack is gone. The fire department is there, I ask "did it burn down?" Someone has completely cleared away the debris.

+(f) doing laundry: there's a backlog waiting for the dryer

The washer is full of a finished load, wet, there's another load waiting to go, someone (wife?) is directing me what needs to be done

+(f) buying liquor in a store, huge heavy shopping carts (can't lift, multiple levels), trucks outside

I have a shopping cart with me, and I'm looking over a ledge to the lower level where there are store clerks and two more shopping carts full of booze, I try reaching down to pull one up, it's way too heavy so I say I'll have to come down. Go outside and there are large semi-trucks there?

+ (mini-epic) back to former C home with wife, enjoying walking around the home and in the garden (so happy to be back [dreamsign!]), watering back lawn & garden, realize we've broken in while the new owners are away on extended vacation, concerned about getting caught (fingerprints!), we've trashed the place it's an amazing mess & have to clean it, wife sleeping on couch, try to clean but just spread more powder, someone rings the doorbell, try to hide, go outside, massive convention of salespeople selling some gizmo, take gizmo in, set it up (but the owners will notice!), lying on mattress in living room, old dog L runs in to me & we have a great reunion

I'm back in my former C home I'm really happy to be here [emerging dream sign],, I'm walking around just enjoying the green grass in the back yard, and the features of the home. My wife is with me. At some point I'm in the backyard again and I notice the lawn is completely dead/grey, I set some sprinklers / hoses to water the garden (I had done this before?) I suddenly think that the new owners will notice the water usage on their utility bill and question where it came from. I "remember" that they are all away on an extended vacation to India but I don't know when they are returning. Inside the house I think they may be able to figure out that we were there, they could take fingerprints and naturally the police would suspect the former owners of the home and we'd be caught.

I'm looking around and boy we've really trashed the place. Garbage is strewn all over the floor it's going to take forever to clean it up. (Pomegranate seeds everywhere?). I walk in to the living room and see my wife is sleeping on the couch there, she's completely messed up the blankets/covers on the couch, will we be able to put them back in place?

The doorbell rings and I look to the front door, the entire front of the house is made of glass walls [false memory, major dream sign], so there's nowhere to hide. We do not answer the door, they could be people who know the new owners, what would we say to them? They soon leave.

I go outside and the entire neighborhood (an open field) is crawling with salespeople hawking their strange device. The people at the door were probably salespeople. A salesman comes back into the house with me, with a device, it is a bizarre multi-sectioned thing of unknown purpose. We start to set it up in a hallway (in the kitchen?) it involves screwing some large (square-foot) brackets on each wall and running something in between. I think "we can't do this, the new owners will clearly notice this."

I'm trying to clean with some unknown woman, using a "vacuum" cleaner that on each push forwards emits a large cloud of white powder. It is clearly making more of a mess than cleaning up.

I'm in the living room lying down on a mattress on the floor. I hear the sound (collar jingling) of my old dog L who is running to meet me. I pull back the covers and make a space for him and he hops right on and stands next to me. I try to smell his fur, I miss that smell of him, but I don't get a clear scent. He's in good spirits and I'm really happy to see him.

+ I return to the dream, I'm talking about dog L with somebody, I see a strange sharp/raw version of his. I say "they told us he had only 2K calories left to live", I break down in tears, I look up his breed (on the computer?) and find 16 years is the maximum lifespan [but one weird case lived to 32], he lived to almost 17, I think we have to put him to sleep before we leave on our move, I say I enjoy our reunions in dreams.

First dream

I went out of school with classmates, and we took my sisters car. I was a passenger while one of them was driving. He barely missed all those cars on the road, and police quickly reacted, and stopped our car. Then we were interrogated. The policeman was reading our notebooks from school, and asking questions from them. When it came to my turn I, quietly as always, said:

- Amsterdam is a capital of Amsterdam!

Then the policeman said:

- I thought that it was a capital of Austria!

Then another policeman came. They both were taunting us. I jumped mad, and told them that I have some random spinal malformation. I then said: Surprised!? They both nodded their heads simultaneously.

Second dream

It was in a hospice. Art exhibition was arranged there. Ill kids were making their own art, which later would be shown in another exhibition. Visitors were allowed to contribute in their art. After a small walk, I decided to take a pencil and draw some darker shades on one of the works. They were fitting to the composition, but the kid painting it was dissapointed. A few months later we drove with siblings to another hospice, where that kid was placed after the exhibition. My sisters were touched by the look of this small, ill child. I stood expresionless, even when the child was staring at me and crying. I was visiting it through the whole years, and he became some kind of brother to me. I was giving him advices, and telling him what awaits him beyond the walls of the hospice.

Morning of February 22, 2015. Sunday.

Dream #: 17,597-03. Reading time (optimized): 1 min.



My gadget dream starts with my youngest son’s birthday (which was in real life recently). My attention is on a miniature Coca-Cola vending machine that changes over time. I look into it from the upper part of the back, and it is bigger inside. I see metallic mechanisms in the inner compartment. The toys are within the mostly hollow mechanical sections instead of the front for distribution.

I retrieve a couple of items from it. I look farther down and notice several cut-out daily black-and-white comic strips taped upside-down over the internal silver walls. One, with four panels, features crows flying around and seemingly attacking Mary Worth. I think about taking the comic strips out to read, but I do not as they seem too far down to reach and pull out.

After I examine the inside of the toy vending machine, I give my son two of the presents from it. One is a raccoon figure (possibly a windup toy) and the other a jigsaw puzzle, made from packing peanuts, of a squirrel. It is in a small transparent pillow-shaped bag. Zsuzsanna cheerily complains about its quality. We leave it unopened because of already having an identical puzzle (false memory). I suspect the pieces are too soft to stay connected, and they also crumble. We will likely discard the duplicate.

---

The raccoon figure is likely an association with one lost at a previous address, but which had belonged to our oldest son. The puzzle is an association with being in liminal space.

---

-Walking to practice
-Ask teammate if we had practice the previous day
-I did not go the previous day but I am informed there was practice
-for some reason i panic real bad

My dream memory has been lacking these past few days :/
