+ [long, vivid] mansion epic
Driving/moving with friends. We're going by some large mansions on our right. I pretend to be a real estate agent showing off the mansions as for sale even though they are not. Some of them are in severely deteriorated conditions with peeling paint. In a car stopping on the side of the street, limosine, the rich guys in the back seat talk to 2 guys standing on the sidewalk, they exchange a few words about the house and we go on.

Near the house I remark that it has a custom-built church tower. Then me and one of the rich guys and someone else are up in the cramped tower. We're lying down on the ground on one level. It's like a multi-level children's play house, very small. I'm pointing out where the trap door is to the level above, where (an animal?) is hiding. The guy opens the trap door and an eaten ear of corn falls down. An animal races down and is trapped on the next level below, the guy says we can push down on the floor and squish it, I say "NO, don't kill it!"

Inside the living room of the rich house (which is not ours) I'm still showing it to the rich guys as if it were for sale. At one point I start playing a video game being projected on one of the walls of the living room. My face is right up against the wall. It's a space game and the little ships that I need to maneuver around are hard to see because there is a lot of light and glare coming from the room. I say for people to turn down the lights so there's less glare. The light comes down and I notice the screen with the game has moved to another wall (monitor?) and I decide it's OK to stop playing.

We're talking about this (these) mansion houses. I'm trying to get in a word but people keep talking over me and not listening. I'm trying to say that I remember that I've sample some of the sumptuous bath tubs in the house and they're amazing.

At one point another buyer guy comes in to the living room and says why don't we split the cost of the house. The original guy says no, he is not interested in joint ownership.

Outside, we're talking about the cost of the house. One guy is saying that he can't afford maintenance on this place, that he'd have to cut down the size of it because he can't afford 5,000 (50,000?) gallons of paint to cover it.

One guy is asking another guy how he managed to afford his place. "You have 'Man's Dream 1' will you use it to finance 'Man's Dream 2'?"

+ opel/chess/sleeping bag
There is a white Opel parked on the street, I have a hovering view about 15 feet away, I recognize it as potentially our old family car when I was growing up. There is a man sleeping in it, he has pulled a "blanket" over himself consisting of heavy construction paper/material rolled out going from the dashboard to the back of the hatchback, to cover the sun so he can sleep.

I'm in my car, I'm cold, I'm pulling my green down mummy bag sleeping back on top of me like a blanket and I'm thinking about down as an insulating material.

I visualize a chess board (flat, as if on a computer screen) and I'm planning my move. Black is my opponent. His king is exposed still in an uncastled position. I'm looking for check double attacks that I can use to win material. I think I see a black knight on the right side of the board around f/g 3/4 that I can win with a check. I also note my a-file rook is pinning a black pawn that has moved to the black a-file rook and I can take his rook if that pawn moves. I continue looking at central attacking possibilities due to black's exposed and centralized king.

+ scouts in park at night
I'm with a boy scout troop camping in a large city park at night. I'm walking and talking with one scout and looking up at the night sky. There are stars visible there, but they're faint. I explain this by saying there are some clouds, and the lights from the city are preventing a clearer night sky.

We're talking about sleeping locations, it's not hard to find good spots because of all the flat places on the ground.

A tree branch is poking directly into my eye. I'm trying to move backwards and away from it but it continues to poke my eye. Eventually I get away from it. I look up and pluck a ripe walnut from the tree. I open it easily and I pick out the meat and start eating it. I look up at the tree it is covered by dark pod hanging down, others come to pick the walnuts.

+ lego / mom
A young scout patrol member is being praised for stepping up to the role of patrol leader. He is reading the rules of lego / D&D, there is a little miniature rule book. There is a table full of lego, lego is organized into generations of different kinds of pieces. The pieces on the table in front of us are fairly early, of the Star Wars type. I start playing with it, picking up one plane and flying around making "Boy Noise" (Vroooom! ). I notice out in the hallway (this is in my CH bedroom) that my mother walks by the door. I want to play but feel compelled to go spend time with my mom. I walk behind her as she goes down the stairs to the first floor. I hear my dad say "I don't which I should ask you about: if your knee still hurts or if you need to pee?" I now want to ask if her knee still hurts. She turns to show me the apparatus attached to her feet. She's sitting in a wheel chair. My left foot gets caught in the fabric wrapped around her right leg and I hop on my right foot as her chair continues to roll backwards. She's talking about the pins in her feet? I see that each foot is in a sort of medical metallic cage, the bottom platform is covered with little pins, head up.

+ tennis training
DO, overhead (about 20 feet up and a bit to the back) looking down on a tennis training session. About a dozen students are lined up in a row, each one with an instructor (or two) in front of them. They are all performing the same drill: the instructor bounces a tennis ball really hard off of the ground, and the students must do a two-handed grip on their racquet, and smash the ball back down into the ground right in front of them. I think what's the point of that since they'd lose the point. Then I realize they must be practicing for overhead smashes at the net.

+ ice/bomb
I see a white tube going down into the ground. Then I see another one, but it is almost completely filled with water, and it has a funnel top about 1-2 feet in diameter. I'm walking along the ground and I notice things under the ground. One place has buried huge ice cubes about 1-2 meters on a side under the ground. There is another building with a control center in it and guys working the controls, there is talk of a rebellion and setting off a bomb, but there is a poster on the wall about how the authorities (some name) know about them. I climb down the outside of this bunker, lowering myself to the ground and breaking my fall by holding on to the edge of the bunkers as I go down.

+ train/Jack/weird ties
(maneuvering and driving in cars, backing up, police cars? vague).
There is a train stopped at a crossing. We're waiting for another train. I wonder if the other train is really small to be able to fit on the small side tracks nearby. No the other train is 80 cars and coming on a parallel track. Are we going to be unloading from our train to theirs? The other train arrives I get on to a car with some others. "Jack" is managing this entire thing and the other train will be going to Florida.

There is a lot of equipment strapped to holding pockets on the wall, we need to unpack it and set it up. It is really confusing. Do we set up these strapped hooks on the inside or the outside of the train car? Will they be used to hold firewood for feeding the fires while we go? I put some a hook apparatus tentatively in one of the pockets in the wall.

I'm shirtless in the car, there are some girls there, the car is moving/bouncing and I'm flexing my abs and wonder if they'd find me attractive even though I"m older.

The train car starts moving and I'm concerned that Jack may not be able to find us, I move through the inter-car doors ahead to see why we're moving. I glance down and see a children's picture book.
