Pretty decent night, with @5 hrs recording + WBTB

Slept late again, to 11 hrs, BTS after WBTB long, maybe an hour, due to wife noise

+ track team practice: run till you drop, boy with baby teeth cut from the team; 3 on 3 football, I cover the receiver poorly

+ google/work dreams: tons of short scenes
Arrive to work, "building 85", tons of people are milling around in there because it's lunch time. I hear someone directing a meeting while I approach.

girl watching streaming movies (including light porn?) at work

CD doesn't want to work at google, but I'm such a worker bee that I have no problem with it, I'll just go to my desk and quietly code

HR girls are preparing a strange device that can authenticate a message

Two guys discussing behavioral problems entirely in foreign language, I join in in the foreign language, shake hand with one of the guys afterwards

The VP moment as he meets the group of people in the hallway and we all (as is his prior requirement) must place all of our cups top-down on the ground. We all do so theatrically, and he says "ha ha (sarcastically), OK, " and then goes on to say something else.

Outdoors basketball competition, we have to (use a famous player?) devise a system to help make baskets from far away

Mock city: many outdoor city blocks in a mock downtown, to practice laying asphalt and doing road work, they lay some right at my feet as I watch

WBTB

+(f) telling the little girl on the stairwell that she should stay in school

+(f) tooth conference(?), giant teeth statues standing outside

+ crazy subway driver; rehearsal
I'm on the way somewhere, trying to decide which subway line I should get on. I choose the one that forks off to the right. The driver is crazy, he's driving the train so fast I feel very strong centrifugal forces on every turn. When my stop is reached, I make a desperate fast run for the doors, afraid that the driver will close the doors before I get there. I make it out of the train but realize I've left my blue backpack at my seat, I see it there and run back inside for it, but the driver closes the doors before I can get off again, I wonder how I'm going to get back to where I need to be.

I arrive at rehearsal and realize I've left my instrument behind. I'm walking out to get it and run in to another <my instrument> player, I "recognize" [false] him (looks sort of like a young Steve Wozniak, asian-ish features, beard) and say hello, then I see another <my instrument> player, and wonder if I'm still the principal player or if they've replaced me.

(Talk about the crazy subway driver? A guy says "Yeah with driving like that no wonder there are so many derailments", I agree entirely).

+ a massive military plane flies low and circles around my childhood home, I watch out the window and call my dad to see. I wonder what they're doing there. I imagine they're hunting fugitives. Later I'm discussing what I saw, "Yeah there were guys in full military gear sitting at the doors with huge gun turrets."

+(f) I TK a medium-sized boat out of the river onto the dock so my wife can more conveniently board. It's a bit slow to respond to my mental commands but it eventually does. I also rotate it 180 degrees (front to back) before landing it on the dock.

+ save the fish, butch bus driver, turpentine birthday ceramic dish
There has been a really big major move. Crates are all around. Including many glass fishbowls full of fish (mostly large goldfish). Some fish are alive, some look nearly dead (swimming with their tails pointing up). I think the oxygen must be nearly depleted from the water and rush around trying to save the fish. I need to find some water. There is a blind corner in this area, and as I'm heading back around the corner to the right, l big yellow school bus ZOOOOOOOMS in right along that wall next to the corner and stops a meter or two beyond the corner. I just barely avoided being hit. The driver is a large, round, butch-looking middle-aged white woman with very short hair. I'm giving her an evil look for almost wacking me. She sees my expressions and says "WHAT!?" I wonder if the bus managed to avoid the fish in their containers that were sitting along the wall she just drive in on (very very close to it).

The bus driver and others are also rushing to save the fish. I see they've found a working hose and are filling a pile of bowls. The bowls they have are mostly ceramic and quite shallow. I say "those bowls won't work well because they're ceramic, the water will soak through them." I have my own bowls, I look and see they're not much better, one looks like a rusty cast iron frying pan.

I look down to the ground and see a decorative art glazed ceramic bowl and think "that's what we need." I pick up the bowl and say "we should use (glazed) bowls because they won't leak water" (?).

Then I'm standing at a table with two other guys. I'm holding my glazed art bowl up and it's now some sort of multi-layer sculpture thing (not clear), and I say this is my birthday cake platter that I just received for my birthday [false]. I say the colors come from turpentine (?). The colors are blue, purple, and white, all swirled together in a beautiful way. One of the guys comments on the turpentine colors and I think no, that's not right the colors come from something else. I'm adjusting a doily under the plate so it doesn't mess up the table? The two guys also have bowls that they got from somewhere else?
