This is a non-lucid despite some control (color change)

I'm standing outside childhood home on HC street facing S st. I bring out my lightsaber and ignite it. Again not much visuals so I focus on visuals, and a short (2-feet) green blade appears, sort of sparkly, with a flat white area towards the handle. I want it to change color, I will it to turn blue. I look at it and concentrate on it. Slowly some blue appears and then suddenly it's all blue. I walk towards the end of HC at F. Bl. and I swing the blade into the ground a bit. At F I turn to the left down the hill and walk on the right side of the street, as I pass by the R's house I see two metallic swimming pool staircase handles, and I swing the blade through these handles. Nothing happens, it's not a real lightsaber.

I look at the lightsaber in my left hand: the handle is short and small, like a small metallic flashlight, about half the diameter of a typical old-time flashlight. My hand barely fits on the handle, and my fingers are almost dangerously close to the energy blade.

It's darker now and I continue on F. past Av. and towards the park. There are some people playing with toy lightsabers in the middle of the street but mine is much better. I head down the stairs to the top level of the park. A mother is at the bottom of the stairs throwing some toy thing up the stairs to her child. I think that the toy isn't the point: the point is the parent and child enjoying time together, the toy is just a means.

On the middle level of the park approaching the old clubhouse, there is a tall chain-link fence there. I see on the lower level that my best friend MR is playing with someone, with a kite/drone. I quickly run up the fence and jump off the top of it, gaining some altitude, and grab on to a toy quad copter drone, there's a string handing down and a small bulb (like a turkey baster) that I grab on to with my right hand. The drone flies towards the lower level, maintaining it's altitude, so I'm now quite high up over the ground (25 feet at least, feels really high). My right hand starts to feel sweaty and tired, I'm hoping this thing will start losing altitude soon because I'll get seriously hurt if I fall. It flies to the far tall chainlink fence turns left and flies around the perimiter, slowly losing altitude.

I'm on the ground and say to MR good thing I landed because I was losing my grip. He says s.l. he never loses his grip.

In the corner of the lower level near (bottom of main path) I'm sitting there talking about my lightsaber construction with one or two guys. I've unscrewed the top, and am trying to screw the nut back on but it has gotten really dirty I'm pulling out very dirty greasy nasty stuff (like the stuff you pull out of the shower drain, it's gross).

The guy asks me what chip is in there. I can't remember. I know it's not an Intel chip. All I can think of is "P....P....P... PDP-10? No, it's not a PDP". The guy is holding the chip (it's huge, a square, 2-inches on a side) and is reattaching it to the socket. For some reason it's not sitting flat in the socket (something got warped?). I take it and carefully align the pins on the bottom of the chip with the holes in the socket and I get it to get back in.

I head up back to the middle level of the playground. Other people have toy lightsabers but mine is clearly the best. Then I'm inside a house, it's a party, all young guys there, I'm showing off my lightsaber. I'm waving it around, the beam looks a lot now like a green laser. I'm standing in a kitchen near a counter with cabinets above but an open area in between them where you can see through. I say "the only thing it needs to be a real lightsaber is a blade that cuts. I could install a stronger laser." I'm trying to listen to the sound, but there is none. I turn it off, then turn it on again and the sound works, I demonstrate the sound of waving it around and it is very pleasingly realistic. I hand it over to some guys to try and I think they'll be really impressed with it. I notice they turn it off and hear the realistic "swish" turning off sound.


+ collection of late morning dozing dreams (fragments mostly) after BTS: girls pressing into me at the counter (want to order pizza), touch some; enthusiastic party emcee, see Ni.Hau (L) eating rice with onions, I'll order lasagna at the counter; parking garage with guys, don't want to move the massive power cable on the ground leading to the house; took pictures of girl (on screen, try to hide/delete), she sits down and lays her bare legs across mine, I push my face in them; he guy through window, it (?) works, see he's watching a game on TV (severe angle!); basketball: the player one-hands the shot from mid-court facing the wrong way: nails it (net barely moves);
