Couldn't recall anything again.
I am jumping from a tall iron bridge into a clear, cold river. It is in the middle of winter. There are many other people swimming in the river. This is part of a school assignment and there are military personnel who are also involved. I hold my breath and dive deep down into the transparent water. I swim under water a great distance, watching the other swimmers as they kick their legs and doggy-paddle and tread water above me. The water is perfectly clear, like swimming in a pool of pure drinking water. When I finally surface, I let out, "Wow! This water is cold!" The water is very cold, yet it is most invigorating and wonderful. I am very happy to be in the water. I wonder how I am able to swim in water of this temperature; I normally would be quite reluctant to jump into a freezing river. I go from the river to an school office where suddenly I am standing before a black lady who looks like she is part of the adjunct staff. She asks if me I'd like some coffee. Looking over some paperwork, she says I did great, and then shows me my schedule. Every Monday and Tuesday I will have to meet a woman named "Nancy" (this is an actual lady I know from WL, one of my old customers) at a restaurant to go over my progress. These meetings with Nancy are mandatory. It slowly becomes clear to me that I am at an interview in which I am being considered for acceptance at this school. The black woman tells me she still has seven more applicants to interview. Recall fades. Dreamt 1/22/2017
COMMENTARY NON-LUCID DREAM LUCID DREAM Asleep: 12:00 WBTB: 5:30, sometime before 8:00, 8:00 Awake: 8:16 Dreams: 1 + a small fragment Lucids: 1 1. I am woken up at 5:30 by T's work alarm. I feel myself "come up" out of a dream and all I can grab hold of/remember is this: Man speaking: "I encourage you to seek validation..." 2. I am leaving a food/smoothie shop with 3 friends. Myself and 3 others get in a car. At first, Ryan is driving. But then it turns out Gabe is driving. Both are friends of mine from college. The parking spot that we are in is small and there must be cars close behind us. Gabe pulls out and has to pull forward again to try to turn out of the space. He has a small car, and he gets VERY close to the car in front of us. We all tell him he's going to hit the other car but he tries to pull even closer and ends up hitting the car. I thought he was going to drive off but he parks and walks inside. He comes out with several pink slips of paper and makes us get out and write down what possessions we have in our pockets for when the police come to write up a report? I decide this is taking too long and decide to call an uber. I try to look up where I'm going and I remember an uber is going to be 75 cents, but I don't remember where I was going. I think it was a zoo but not 100%. I thought about how I had to get home soon so I could "go back to sleep because it was almost time to wake up". (Note, the night before I had no recall so recall was on my mind) 3. The start of this dream is fragmented in memory. I remember one of my co-workers talking with someone although not in a work context. They are both stationed by computers at a desk. He is talking to the other person about sharing information with his own mother? (Memory blank) I dreamed I was lying bed, experiencing sleep paralysis. And somehow, I'm communicating with this co-worker and the other person. They help people have lucid dreams? In my dream I experienced sleep paralysis and told them as much. Then I laid back down and experienced SP again. This time, I tried to "raise my dream hand" to do a nose pinch RC. I thought I was raising my "waking hand". But, I was able to breathe through my plugged nose! I became lucid! At this point, I forgot all about my co-worker. I was my normal bed room. It was bright like there was light being let in through the window. I remember thinking it would be bad if I thought I was lucid dreaming and tried to jump out of a window only for it to be real so I did another nose-plug RC and looked at my hands. The nose RC worked again and my hands were translucent up to the fingertips. I stayed calm and checked out my surroundings. The room was realistic and detailed. After a moment, I woke up. My last two lucid moments ended the second I became lucid. This time, I remained in the dream for a little while. It was a dream about dreaming, but I believe I actually became lucid because when I woke up there was no "pause of consciousness" and I was very conscious of having just been in a lucid dream. The funny thing is, my alarm went off at 8. I debated just getting up but I decided to go back to sleep because I wanted to recall at least 1 more dream. And I woke up at 8:16 having just had a lucid dream!
This was different for me. This was me watching from above and it was my dad and I when I got my first (very old clunker) car and my dad helped me sand and fill the holes in my car before painting it. That was a very exciting memory for me, only this made it feel more important since my father passed away a few years later and this memory was from over 35 years ago. He was showing me how to test the air, check the oil, etc. I was watching and very happy that I appreciated every moment the way I should have. I was so very proud of that old car and it looked so beautiful in royal blue. My dad was also very proud of the car. I think that is my favorite memory of childhood.
Crazy late to bed again, binge watched "The OA" from start to finish yesterday. Looks like some day residue in the dreams from that. Have to stop doing that. Woke with recall of what felt like one dream with a lot of scenes in it, about 6hrs. Maybe try BTS but it's pretty late in the day already. These scenes all seem to take place in a single location, in/around some house: + There is a girl pacing the (2nd floor?) hallways of some house and she's trying to breathe fire like a dragon. She's taking big breaths and expelling them out with dramatic gestures and loud hissing sounds, leaning her head and back far forwards while doing so. I and some other guy are following her around, I'm sure if she just keeps doing this she'll actually breathe fire, but I never see any fire appear. Then I see a burning/smoldering spot on the floor, and I and this other guy are running to get a fire extinguisher. I want to find the extinguisher first. I'm going to get a "<something, some term>" which is a super-soaker (kids play water rifle)-like plunger and fill it with water at the reservoirs of water built into the ground. I open the reservoir on the right but I see stuff floating in there and I think someone has used it for a toilet and that it's poop in there so I close the lid and flush it. I open the lid to the left reservoir, then I go back to the right one, stick the device in there and pull back the plunger to draw up the water. I walk over to the fire and push the plunger to put out the fire. I expect to see a strong stream of water but instead I get a wide-angled spray of fine mist. Also some chunks of what looks like gray cooked ground meat land on the floor, and I hope it's not poop. My work colleague (ChDo of "3d") has taken my collection of colorful felt pens and mixed them in with his own. I'm taking my pens back. I'm sifting through the large pile of pens and picking mine out and taking them. Mine are the slender ones with the long white covering tips with handles colored the same as the ink color of the pen. I take back several different-colored ones, the colors are like light pastel. I'm then standing at a (white board?) with a tangled pile of white children's slot and tab sculpture discs all stuck together, it's a fairly large pile. I'm standing outside and there are 3 ambulances being loaded (with kids?). There is one regular bus and two official ambulances. One of the ambulances loses traction on the ice and the back wheels slide out in an arc, then the whole thing slowly starts tipping and falls onto its left side. I'm shouting "NO!" and run over to open the doors and help the kids out. I tell them to be calm while this is happening. I think the non-ambulance bus was the best one. Something about an animal or thing on a fence nearby? I notice there are 4-6 titan-sized massive giants dressed in sleek black armor coming to attack us. Walking through the upper floor and a guy I "recognize" [FALSE] as a (former enemy?) someone who shouldn't be here is coming back in for some reason. Standing by the edge of a pool with food, there is a tray of food I see down on the bottom of the pool about 10 feet deep by the edge, it was put there for storage? I dive down to get it but wonder about if it's spoiled, thinking the cool temperature of the water may have preserved it.
Last night, bed at 6:50am I took 3x 15 mg (6%) L-dopa at time of bed Had lots of dreams, but I had that for the last week or so. So can't tell it was because of L-dopa. DREAM at 9:03pm Something about group called Dreamers Against Trump. DREAM 11pm Paying for photo ops Driving heavy truck DREAM 3:15am I'm in a basement of a 1-2 story house. Looking out the small window with 2 kids, boy and a girl. There is some work being done outside. A bulldozer is pushing ground near the house and somehow he pushes a huge pile of dirt too close to the house. It makes the corner buckle and shift and a metal bars above the window come down. Just before it did, I yelled at the kids to get out. It I didn't, they would have been killed. I'm outside yelling at the operator what the heck did he do, being so careless. Then I'm on a street in Latin America, sitting in the middle of the road in a residential neighborhood. People walking around, kids playing and sitting around. I figure if I want to be friends with them, I should attempt to get to know them and talk. So I ask a girl sitting near me what's her name. Julia, she says. And she cuddles with me. (my grandma just passed away and her name is Julia).
