    1. 2015-07-2 LD #127, beer garden, tent, shiny boots, flashlights, bacon, talking with coatrack

      by , 07-21-2015 at 03:12 PM
      The dream recall leading up to the LD were not really anything exciting or long. But the LD more than made up for it despite being a slightly bit unstable: it lasted a good long time (by my standards) with 3-4 different scenes, girly stuff, accomplished TOTM, some flying and some breaking through walls, some lightsaber action.

      + at a beer garden choosing (4 choices) what I'll have for the next round consulting with the woman sitting across from me. I'm thinking of a really pale beer next round, something with almost no taste. (Don't remember the names but some had some), (decided on a house special?)

      + I'm at the far end of a long snaking narrow camping tent, a friend is outside. I see and say that there is no zipper/way out on this side, so since the tent is so narrow I don't have room to turn around, so I start crawling out backwards. I notice some dirty spots on the floor of the tent and wonder if they're wet spots from dirty boots. I finally make my way out of the front where my friend is waiting for me (the boot guy below?)

      + There's a man who says he must cover his metal-tipped boots when he's outside or else the reflection will blind people. He gestures to his boot tips and I see a chunk of metal near the tip. Someone discusses how "hard" your boots you want, if you get them too hard they'll make a lot of noise on wooden floors.

      + walking through some sightseeing place with people, fairly dark indoor environment, turning corners (going up sloping pathways?) need flashlight, I have one or two in my hand, then there are hundreds strewn all over the floor to choose from.

      + Walking down the main stairway in my childhood home, my dad is talking about the nurses at the hospital, how they used to have a thing around there neck that expanded, it was called a (???), I see one and how it expands, but they wear something different now. My dad has to go to the hospital, I'm now in the living room where my mother has set a breakfast table (for me and my dad?), I sit down and eat, there is a bacon and egg sandwich and more bacon and some other things. It all looks really good and I start with the bacon. (I pick a piece of bacon out of the sandwich?) my mother says not to pick the bacon out of the sandwich but I say "hey it's bacon, it's OK" but I fully intend to eat the sandwich properly.

      At some point I wake up, pee, recall dreams, and head back to sleep, the exact place I re-enter is not clear.

      I see the breakfast table again and it's messy (piled with cereal boxes?), it's still in the living room because my dad's going to the hospital so we need a segregated breakfast table (WTF?). My dad is now concerned about being late even though he got up really early in the morning. I walk to the kitchen through the dining room and I hear my dad talking and coming towards the kitchen from the back porch.

      I don't want my dad to find me in the kitchen because (then I'll wake up?)

      I fly out the living room window
      and immediately I realize I'm dreaming. It is a solid realization, I'm very happy I got lucid. The scenery is daylight, bright and clear. I'm flying low over a Eucalyptus tree coming up ahead, and as I pass over it I lower my right hand and let my fingers run through the leaves to establish tactile senses. I feel very little, maybe 25% or even less, I'm somewhat surprised, touch is usually not less than 50% and usually full. I grab a bunch of the leaves and form a fist with my right hand, squeezing them, and I start to feel them a bit better.

      I then experience a slow, interesting transition (sort of a "pan"-effect) back into my childhood home's living room. I think of TOTM and am happy at having decent waking like memory. But then I just can't remember the basic tasks, for about 30 seconds I'm pacing around the living room saying "Right, let's do TOTM, the task is....the task is....it's...uh.." and just can't come up with either of the basic tasks. I recall at last the advanced II task of having a conversation with an object that doesn't make sound.

      I walk into the dining room, crouch down in front of the marble-topped cabinet/drawers, and say "Hi! What's your name!?" I imagine face forming and it responding to me, but instead a black rectangle whooshes in from somewhere, replacing the cabinet, then vanishes, leaving them both gone.

      Not upset by this, I just stand up and move to the living room where I see a coat rack, I immediately approach and say, "Hi! What's your name?!" (I think a face forms?) and it says "I'm Hank, and my son is Frank!" (I think the rack is covered with a string of lights, and wonder what they look like turned on?).

      I go out (the front door?) and see a sloping hillside in daylight of exposed dirt and some plants (ivy?). I wonder if I'm still dreaming, if I am then I could fly, I take off flying and am happy that I'm still dreaming. I turn to face downhill, and see through a window of the house into the living room where Hank is still standing, he looks sort of humanoid at this point with a very large head, like a small Ent or a large mushroom man. I think/say "turn on your lights!" but Hank looks at me, shaking his head "no," and holds up his arms containing the string of (Christmas tree?) lights. I think he must be done working for the day and has already taken off his lights, I do not want to force the issue so I forget him and fly forwards.

      Ahead of me (still flying) is some building, down below me a few floors down I see some girls standing at an ice cream stand. I can see down their shirts and there's some nice cleavage showing there. I land and watch them as I approach, there are 3 girls, young & pretty, one of them has dark sort of bushy eyebrows.

      Spoiler for sexual activity:

      Now I'm in a stairwell and I think the authorities are coming because of my taking liberties with the girls. (See/hear some security guys?) I'm running up the stairs and decide to break through the wall, I run my finger in a circle on the wall and push out a section and jump through.

      I'm in some non-descript alley/corridor between very tall buildings, and I decide as I approach a corner that I need a weapon, so I hold up my left hand and imagine there's a lightsaber handle there. I look at my hand and it's sort of fuzzy and transparent but I see it. I hit the "on" button and imagine/say that the blade will be green. I see sort of a 50% transparent green blade.

      I walk by a guy DC and swing the blade through his body 2 or 3 times, (he falls down?). Then I see a kid walking with an assembled clarinet, and step up to him and slice the clarinet into 3 or 4 pieces, haha.

      Up ahead on a higher floor (floating?) is a group of uniformed security. I prepare myself for a big jump to go up there and fight, I'm setting my feet just right and fidgeting then I notice a hot girl is floating down towards me, I imagine she wants sex, so I direct her to a bench and she starts taking off her clothes, then I
      wake up...
    2. 2015-07-19 music, martial arts, identify exposed, rock-throwing angry man, epic: The Diva

      by , 07-19-2015 at 05:12 PM
      + need to play in concert, and read a text as well, I'm wondering how I'll do both on stage at the same time. I ask conductor (MSK) when rehersals will be, he says "soon enough"

      + playing music lying on back on ground, the music is a syncopated 8th note rhythm: "DUT dut DUT DUT dut DUT dut" repeated, looking up at white ceiling (in bathroom?), some ceiling spots are dirty with a black spotted mildew-looking pattern, wipe black spotted dirt off, some guy concerned about (gremlins?) underneath us, I twist and turn trying to see what is underneath me and have trouble turning very much

      +(f) practicing martial arts in a class, can't kick/land, I'm off balance

      + circular bar, sitting around it with a group, a DV friend forwarded email to forums containing my real name in the headers without removing it, revealing my identify, I'm very upset, and I keep thinking about this for a long time.

      Outside in a large open area, I've done something good for a woman, she offers me a choice as a reward of <something> or a BJ. I hmm and haw and go back and forth "I guess a BJ would be pretty cool" but I'm not really into it seriously. We're standing outside and I'm embarassed. We're standing up against something (large chair, small fence?).
      Spoiler for explicit sexual activity:


      + dark, outside, aggressive/angry man throwing rocks at me, I confront him, he's angry and approaches me threateningly, he seems to have an endless supply of small/medium sized rocks in pockets in his pants, he keeps throwing, I back off, frightened, I'm blocking with my hands, I feel the rocks smacking off of my palms, then 3-4 fireman coming from a building to the left, see the situation, rush the guy and tackle him hard to the ground, I'm happy, and make some positive comment about union workers.

      + epic: The Diva:

      I arrive at a large building, outside, (there are young hipsters on stairs leading in to the building?), inside, in a row of seats, I sit next to the lovely "Diva", we make out sensuously and I rub my groin up against her leg and feel my self getting hard and think she notices it too.

      I notice to the left and above us, 3-4 of my high school buddies (looking like they did in HS) have arrived, I particularly clearly see N and DD. I explain that DD was my best friend in Jr High because one year we had every single class together, from first period through 9th period. I say this a few times and a random DC sitting nearby is amazed.

      I'm flying through the theater which is a large open area with tall columns, I will myself to fly faster and faster, swerving around.

      I'm in a (hotel room?) with (the Diva and some others/) in bed, closely examining delicate, intricate small carvings from a white-ish ivory-like material. I run my fingers over the one I'm holding, amazed at the detail, say "it's like ivory." One of them is like a fish or bird with intricately carved miniature scales/feathers. There are a lot of little protuberances on the objects.

      I'm walking outside the theater, look into a room and see a group of people seated around a table. I think this must be the Diva's/theater's staff meeting. I see a few women I "recognize" and try to catch their eye and nod in recognition to them.

      Inside (the meeting room?), the diva's public relations staff is there, they say that I'm the Diva's official 3rd choice (of lover/man) (this is still a great honor). Such candidates must sign an extensive contract, I see large numbers like "4,000,000" there are many words, the contract places really egregious restrictions on the man. I don't want to sign. I see another man holding and reading the contract, he is trying to heavily modify it to be more in his favor, I think if he can do that so should I.

      They're telling this man one of the conditions is to wear a small wireless network dongle and to tell them all of the websites you visit, then this device will capture all the contents of these web sites. I do not want to have to do this.

      I decide this is a bad deal for me, and I want to leave without being noticed. While the public relation agents are busy with another guy, I sneak off to the end of the room and around the corner. I need to quickly put on my shoes and my socks, but my socks have been modified and I can't fit them on my feet, they've woven extra threads which block the main hole of the sock, I pull hard and break through these threads. There is another strange (bra-like?) plastic device attached to the socks.

      I make a break for it out the room and down the hall to the stairway. At the stairwell some people are in my way preventing my progress. I make my way around to the top of the stairs but I think I'm out of time: someone's coming from the room. I see a (piano? narrow desk?) with barely enough room to fit under, I get down in there, it's a poor hiding place, if anyone's seriously looking for me they'll find me, but maybe if they go the other way they won't see me. I see the legs of someone approaching on a (scooter? Segway?), they stop and face me, I know they've spotted me.

      (wake up? Think about the dream, and re-enter picking up where I left off?)
      The Diva(? or a small girl?)) flies out of the building in a candy airplane (racing other girls in candy vehicles?) through a dangerous amusement park of her mother's creation.
      Some of the attractions has her breaking through weak barriers. The girl says this is the first time she's done this. Her mother told her that (it's possible to get hurt?)

    3. 2015-07-14 LD #126 stump bad teacher, kids as babies, fire mall, naked swim, deli man

      by , 07-14-2015 at 10:46 AM
      Decent night despite late bedtime, LD #126 (short, low lucidity)

      Earlier:
      +(f) trying to meet people, I call out my location, "Sol. and Sa. Pa." I think we're meeting on Al. hill

      + in a class with bad/strict teacher, studying words, a student stumps the teacher by calling out a word the teacher does not know, I think if you're going to teach a lesson like this you'd better study the words. There is a phrase I must work with and I have a book like a dictionary where I see some terms defined and I start reading from it, it's like a fairy tale entry on some mythological being? The text is black and red, it's not making much sense and people aren't listening so I stop reading.

      +(f) thinking over my class schedule, why did I sign up for two English classes in different schools, when will I have time to do all the reading, how many pages were assigned?

      + playing with my kids as babies, "it's very hot in Cu.", It's very cold in Cu." and they echo back, we're rolling around on the floor wrestling and I look up and see an adult sticking her head in the door looking at us, I think it's my dad at first but it resolves into an unknown woman looks in, I say we're preparing for shower, smaller one crawls to closet with a passageway between the bedrooms, I follow to get him back, see girl in closet heading for me and I get interested, i realize its my sister and lose my interest, she's wearing a brownish turtleneck. She's blocking the way, and in her room is a leather suitcase being repaired with some dangerous glue so I have to go around to get my kid.

      + fire mall: outside city intersection at night, there was a fire and the fire department is here, the fire was to the right and the fire dept is blocking that side while ensuring that up the fire is really out, enter left side, a fireman extends the crosswalk timer to give people a chance to make it across. I enter the mall, go up to a woman's beauty salon up on a platform, I pee in an exposed toilet, a woman complains. And I say I'd do it again, step down and walk to the left of the platform and see a sign for the men's room and feel a bit stupid for using the women's salon bathroom.

      I enter through the door and see a small shoe store there with racks of shoes all along the walls and think they really make use of all available space. Sitting down is an older middle-aged lesbian buying running shoes, "the advantage of running shoes is <something>" (I think that it's that they're good for walking, too.) The lesbian has a deformed foot, the front half is twisted a quarter-turn she says "I don't have AIDS!"

      I'm walking to the elevators, miss one, get in another bit leave since my coat flies out of my arms and down a stairway, I go get it and it's now a glove.

      Walking through the mall I see signs hanging from the ceiling advertising super fancy restaurants with long presumptuous names. I think they're really expensive but I'm on a business trip so could expense it.
      There's a (gay?) maitre d', I'm trying to figure out the layout of the upper floors where the restaurants are: is it one continuous level, or are there separate towers on each corner that require using a different elevator (I say this out loud)? He answer and his voice changes from initially stereotypically gay lilt high-pitche'd to a deep man's voice, saying you have to leave enough time (because the elevators could be crowded/slow I think) and should try to arrive 10 minutes before your reservation. I see a huge (1 square meter at least) raw red steak on the shelf of an industrial press that starts to close on it.

      Later:

      + LD #126: I'm walking on beach, I'm naked, almost walk into people, apologize in foreign language, where's my swim suit I'm a bit confused maybe I left it at home? Theres a girl at a big rock, people wont like me being near her while I'm naked. I go around the boulder to the right, look at the water, enter water put head under the surface, see clearly opening my eyes under water, think this water is particularly clear with good visibility, the water is knee-deep, I'm now standing, I look down into the water and see zillions of tiny fishes, then bigger odd fishes with weird mouths, I think they like to nibble on people's legs. One of these fishes comes near to me I think to nibble on me, its mouth gets larger and I see odd teeth, like large human molars, I kick the fish away from me and it slowly drifts and rotates, It now looks like the green glutton ghost from Ghostbusters.

      This is weird enough to prompt me to do a nose pinch RC. The air leaks out around my fingers, it's not a free flow of air, I try a few times and the air keeps leaking out, I decide this means I'm dreaming and immediately start striding confidently out of the water, feeling like I'm in command of all around me. There are people walking around and a building ahead. everything is so clear and detailed, I get a bit skeptical about the dream and think I could get in trouble messing with the DCs if they're actually waking people, but I decided to go ahead anyway

      There are mostly guys around, I look ahead and see a girl coming up to a glass door to a shop to leave it, and give her a "come here" gesture. She comes up to me and I tell her to take off her shirt. I'm running my hands along the skin of her back, she's hesitant and I tell her to keep on going. I bring in her head for a kiss and I see her mouth cave in a little and get a bit wrinkly. I pull back a bit and tell her "be young!" the dream transitions.


      I lose lucidity, big deli guy makes me a turkey and mayo sandwich, he's complaining that "Szechuan Palace is stealing all my business".

    4. 2015-07-13 poor early recall, better later, but many short scenes, felt like a lot of dreaming

      by , 07-13-2015 at 11:45 AM
      Earlier:

      +(f) something in a restaurant/club/cafe with people, sex?

      Later:

      Long series of different short (-ly recalled) scenes across multiple wakings, dream boundaries not clear. Feel like a lot of dreaming once I started to recall it all.

      In the backyard of my childhood home, there is a huge ship (cruise) I'm jumping down from the ship on to the pier in the garden, and pulling/directing the ship with a rope, it's a far jump but I land and bend my knees

      I'm on a train/subway, for some reason I must collect and go through the garbage, I find a grocery bag full of packages of sliced swiss cheese, I see the cheese with the holes in it very clearly. I say "with all the types of cheese in the world, why does this guy have to only buy swiss?" Someone else comments that swiss is awesome and it's OK to buy it. The packs of cheese look to be in perfect, new condition and I consider keeping some for myself.

      I'm sitting at a table with some people, I take a drink from my soda bottle. A black guy across from me wants to smell it, he picks it up and smells it, he wants to take a drink I tell him not to "lip" it, I watch carefully and bob my head around to get a view of his mouth to make sure he doesn't lip it. He lips it and empties the bottle. I'm mad that he finished my drink, and several times angrily demand that he buy me another. We stand up to fight, there's another guy on his side, they both grab forks. The main guy moves in for the attack and I think of using a judo through [don't know judo], I grab him and try to fall backwards and throw him over me, but he's heavy and he ends up falling (on top of, near) me.

      computers and friends: lots of scenes of 1980's PC computer internals, a friend's Commodore PET with a green screen (one piece) keeps almost falling off of a high shelf and I keep pushing it back up. I come across an "original MAC" (I know it's a reproduction done by some Asian company), it has a large square monitor. Some guy gets angry when someone unplugged his net cable ("Hey! That's my connection!")

      A quick progression of images of my workspace/room. First one fairly large and OK with decent space, second one much smaller and desks much closer, and third one horrible: spots all squished together, no separators, when I see this third space I declare "oh, no!"

      I'm sitting at my desk in a new office space/arrangement, there are tall large/bulky wooden furniture separating the work stations, my desk is at located at an intersection of two hallways on a corner, one extending off to the right, another behind me. My back is to the corridor extending off behind me. I think this is a fairly quiet location but if people start using it for walking around the office it could get busy, which would be annoying, no privacy. I stand and up see the work station of other guy, he's tucked into the corner of the building among these large shelves/cupboars/separators, it's a better location because it has no through foot traffic.

      I'm gathering toothbrush(es) and toiletries to go have sex with GF, there's a lot to carry, I see a basket and have the great idea to put everything into the basket. This is much more convenient! I pick up the basket, it's unbalanced, and it tips over and all the items fall out, now I have to pick it all up.

      In a cosmetic shop, two young girls are standing at the counter buying creams and scrubs, the clerk is telling them the prices of the items ("$48?"), I'm standing a bit behind them, I comment on the scrub and say it's done great things for my skin, the clerk agrees it's good but says it's expensive.

    5. 2015-07-10 racquetball, walking around, conversations, inside/outside, semi-lucid flying, sex

      by , 07-10-2015 at 02:20 PM
      Earlier:
      + At a gym counter, there are several guys standing there, they turn to look at me?

      In a racquetball court playing, mostly normal except for the referee in the court. I'm making some great low shots off the front left corner. My opponent makes a shot that goes by me off the back wall to my right, and I can't catch up with it and swing and miss it.

      Later:

      + (semi-lucid) flying over seaside development. I see buildings below me. I turn and fly superman style with my arms out in front of me towards the 5th/6th floor of a large/tall apartment building, I see my hands. I intend to enter into a room there. I approach a window and keep on flying phase through it inside, but lose visuals. I keep imagining a room appearing but I lose lucidity.

      I'm in a room with ex-GF SB. A phone rings (I think it's my wife?) I don't want to answer it.

      + Bunch of little scenes, no coherent transitions recalled:

      I'm outside in daylight walking up a suburban street in hills, I see a car that reminds me of my first new car, I look at the license plate to see if it is my car or not, I think it's not. I ask to my friends if they've ever seen their own license plates appear on a car on TV

      I enter home of a friend (I think he's Asian?), his mother has laid out a meal for him (sushi?) on a table, there's not much room to walk by the table up the (spiral?) staircase.

      I'm walking down a hill on a country road that bends to the left. I'm walking behind son's gf, she's with her gf, she doesn't know I'm there, I want to say hi but not startle her, at the bottom of the hill I get her attention, she's very surprised / shocked to see me, she gives me a hug, her eyes are brown/green (one each? [wrong color]), she (cries?) wondering where my son is

      I leave my car, I've left (a pizza ?) inside, I lock it with the remote from 50 feet away and watch the lights blink. In another place I'm thinking about getting into a car with other people, I walk by a street pole.

      Walking by outside on street a baseball stadium (?), some guy set up outside baseball stadium charging for parking/entrance, I think he's a con man and the parking is really free.

      At some point I think I've returned to spot of earlier semi-lucid in the distance

      + (semi-lucid)
      Spoiler for explicit sexual situations:

      I'm fully non-lucid standing outside in a place with tall iron bar fence. There are attack dogs there. I'm asking their handler/a guard how to avoid them. Some are normal dogs and they're not scary. Then the handler brings in some vicious/weird-looking slavering/barking attack dogs. He says basically you need to find some way to avoid them and I don't think this is very helpful.

      Super late to bed, Very vivid dreams

      + summary: fly to Mt. T., how fast, overhead view, pace jet, land, empty water channels with automated mines at corner, teleport back home via phone call

      I'm on the deck of my childhood home looking out at the view of the distant water and the mountain ranges across it. There is something in the way of the view of mount T across the water. To the right side of the deck I have a clear view but to the left there is something obscuring it. To the right I look at it, it is [false memory] like a little version of half-dome in the distance, sort of crumbling to the left side, a "bump" rising above the ridge. I take of and fly towards it.

      I'm flying fast! I do a calculation of distance vs. time and come up with something like 1600 MPH. At one point I pace a fighter jet in the vicinity.

      Coming up over Mt. T. I want to land at the visitor's center on top, I know you can hike there. Below me I see several choices, and I choose the one on the right where I see a big "+" sign from two long intersecting roads.

      Down on the ground there are long narrow channels (empty). At a 90-degree turn to the left there are automated mine/drones that fly around and plug themselves into outlets (I hit away an enemy drone?). I get a call from (my parents?) and there's a big of simultaneous 1st/3rd person, I (he) needs to pick up the call then by hitting a button on the other end I/he will be transported back to the house

      + summary: in old PT neighborhood, more and more see businesses have moved in, very upset, should complain, a burger place is moving in right next door!

      I'm across the street in my old PT neighborhood. I look at the house and it's been made into a Gap store, there's a postal mailbox up on a landing under a small awning. My wife is upset that this store has moved in to a residential neighborhood, it will bring traffic and crowds. How could they put a store here? I see strange street signs? I keep looking around at the houses on the streets around us and see indications that even more commercial stores have moved in: outdoor chalk menus, I see into a bar where people are standing (I go in at one point). I see that the neighboring home (there is no separation between the buildings) is planned to become a hamburger restaurant, I'm really upset about this.

      + summary: on deck next to lake, adjusting chairs in sun, fall in, see chairs under water, great white shark with huge crushing teeth; at our defensive wall, enemy group approaching, I call out warning and wonder when I should jump out with my (sword?)

      Outdoors on a pier/dock next to a body of water, I'm sitting in white plastic lawn chair at the edge of the water. (I fall in?) I'm up on the dock looking down into the clear water and see 1-2 white lawn chairs about 10 feet down submerged (my wife complains that I let them fall in?). Underwater view: In the water to the right is a diver and a great white shark swimming around him. The shark opens its massive mouth and there are a number of huge, dull, thick cylindrical teeth that I think can crush anything.

      I'm manning a (checkpoint? Barrier?) wall into our territory, I see a delegation of enemies (2-3) approaching, I call back to the leaders to let them know its approaching. I wonder when I should jump out through the opening with my weapon (a sword?) brandished, timed so that I do it right as they approach the opening.


      + summary: on supersonic open-top jet taxiing for takeoff, pilot is American, good I'll be able to understand him, he's southern with strong accent, crazy elevated twisting road [dream sign], pilot describes the meaning of the hand marks on the runway, at takeoff other passengers leave their seats for a good views for pictures, they're crazy I warn them, plane stars moving I'm not buckled in I manage to buckle before the G-forces become overwhelming

      I'm on an open-top (no walls/roof) super-sonic jet taxiing for takeoff. I hear / know that the pilot is American, I'm relieved because then I'll be able to understand him when he speaks. The plane is maneuvering along raised narrow platforms, at one point it's turning onto another platform and I think there's not enough room to make the turn without falling, but then I see that an extension at the front of the plane is rolling along a parallel small raised path so the plane is supported. The pilot starts talking about markers on the ground (look like hands?), he has a thick southern accent and is not so easy to understand as I'd hoped. He has to always talk about these markers since the passengers always misunderstand them and get scared. They are marking points (where the plane is allowed to turn back?).

      As we approach the take-off point at least 2 people get up and move around. One is a woman with a camera who moves to a little compartment on the wing and climbs in there (to get a good shot of the takeoff?). I call out to them to get back to their seats, they'll be blown away in the takeoff. As the plane starts accelerating for takeoff I try to buckle my seatbelt, I wonder if I can do it against the strong G-forces we'll be feeling soon. I am able to buckle my belt.

    7. 2015-07-04 combat games all night long

      by , 07-04-2015 at 10:50 AM
      + guy stabs others to death with long knife, stabs me but I manage to escape with minor wounds

      +(f) in childhood home dad gets up from the couch and walks by me, naked

      +(f) flying around high city rooftops, meeting and talking with people

      + dream boundaries unclear: team-based combat, multiple venues (at least 4), detailed, vivid, complicated rules, very long time, I'm generally a newb in all of them trying to figure out how to play; brief erotic moment with stunning naked girl teammate

      Memories of various scenes:

      1. Indoors, sort of like a wide open furniture store, the team hot young beauty asks me to throw the (football?) on to the bed to claim it. I throw what is like a cylindrical cushion there, and we jump on to the bed. She goes and grabs ("the football?") from another bed. I'm lying down on my left side as sort of a barrier, and she kneels behind me on the bed. We're both naked. She says "this is the first time we've ever been (together like this?)", I respond "there's a first time for everything!" I reach my right hand up and caress her lower back and down towards her rear, start to feel the top of a cheek and bun, she has a smoking hot sexy tight body, and she gets up and leaves. I can't wait to tell my male teammate friend that I had a "special moment" with her.

      2. I connect to an online FPS game, an opponent is flying in the distance and closes to attack. We're trying to shoot each other. I'm changing weapons from bullets to plasma balls, I can't quite get the lead on his circular strafing motion right in order to hit him enough to beat him.

      3. Flying above and landing at a scene. I'm trying to pick up the "quake quad damage" power up, but I do not have all of the 4 required ingredients as the device itself tells me.

      4. In battle, like in a large high-ceilinged theater. There's an important area up high, but it is forbidden (or dangerous?) to approach above ground, so there are underground tunnels to go there. I'm not interested in going in the tunnels.

      I'm in the high ground area, there are large bins of ammunition which consists of irregularly shaped small stones or large gravel. The most valuable is colored blue, and one guy is hanging out by that spot in order to shoot and reload constantly. The advantage of this spot is the huge reserves of ammo.
      Some opponents move in, youngish girls, they're shooting me, where's my shotgun!? I run around avoiding their shots and find my gun leaning against a back wall.

      I'm done with the combat, but you can't just quit: you have to shoot at a special target in order to leave.

      A new session begins, all the expert players quickly run for special equipment/areas in order to get lots of power ups. I don't know how to do this and I'm at a disadvantage, being such a newb. I think about rolling downhill sideways in order to move more quickly.

      +(f) playing with a dog

      +(f) I give coaches a toy soldier(s), the stand is stamped with a date on the bottom from the 1800's, he and his assistant think it's very valuable.

    11. 2015-06-27 former job, you can't go home again

      by , 06-27-2015 at 12:46 PM
      To bed late again. I'm half-way through the 5th season of Sopranos with my binge-rewatch. I hope I can finish it soon so that I can eventually get to bed at an early hour for better dreaming. Only about 6 hours of sleep altogether, didn't feel tired in the morning and couldn't go back to sleep, I slept about 10 hours the day before.

      + at former work place, talking about the product and how late it is, trying to find my desk on a map
      I'm wondering how the product can be competitive when it is so late, the hardware companies have a regular schedule and if you miss the produce decision time you're out for the whole rest of the year. I see the map, I'm thinking of the number "20" for my room.

      + get a ride home (childhood home) from colleagues it's night time, the car comes down S. Ave stopping on F across from HC, there is the driver and one other colleague (PS from R?).

      I have a vision of a desk with a tall circular ornamental object, about 1 meter tall with a circular base, it's heavy. We're talking about desk (paperweights?) and I think of and mention this object.

      I see in the distance a HUGE construction (built by a titan?), a massive dome like on the congressional building, and huge beams, a hundred feet or longer, poking up at an angle all around the dome in a circle like a crown.

      I'm on HC near F, daytime. I'm looking at a car parked up against (through?) the neighbor L's brick front yard fence. Something's wrong with the car, it looks a bit beat up. Some trim is out of shape, the more I look, the more wrong I see. The car now looks bashed up, like something smashed into it. Who's going to take care of this, the rental insurance? I think now that some huge crane smashed the car and the L's fence, it looks all bashed in.

      See childhood home from the street, it looks dark, I'm sad, I think there's nobody in there. To the right over the G's house is another one of those massive dome/crown things being built, it's not finished yet. (A massive titan is building it? I exchange a few frustrated words with it about how it will ruin our house?)

      Inside my childhood home at the dining room table, seated with back to kitchen, my dad is to my left (but don't see him). On the table is a white porcelain coffee set [false memory] from my mother that my sister chose to take, I'm upset that I didn't get a shot at this set. My sister has also taken my mother's favorite cookbook, with all of her hand-written recipes stuck in between the pages. I tell my sister (she's not there) that if she takes that book, she should scan and email all the recipes to me. I flip through the pages and see some pages with my mom's neat handwriting and get sad.

      I look up and see a painting that my mother painted hanging on the wall. I look for her signature and see her full name written out on the lower left corner of the frame in black marker. I see (another, the same?) painting set in a free-standing floor frame on top of a (chest / bureaus?) made out of fancy marble. I don't know how I could possibly take one of these paintings back home with me. I'm thinking about what inheritance items I should claim, it's my turn now.

    12. 2015-06-26 good variety of dreams, vivid details, fairly present, not super close to lucidity

      by , 06-26-2015 at 09:51 AM
      +(f) helping a woman with a stroller up a hill

      + summary: hike, evading dinosaurs
      I'm walking down a wide path in nature, leaves cover the ground, trees are overhead. I'm thinking how much I love backpacking, I'm slinging my backpack on my back while I walk. This is only a day-pack, but I imagine that it could be a full camping backpack.
      Up ahead there's a T-rex chasing hikers uphill on a connecting path. I definitely want to avoid the T-rex so I go off-trail heading downhill. I encounter 3 Allosauruses, one is sleeping on the ground and I climb practically right up on to it and it wakes up, another I try to dodge by keeping a small tree between us (and think how futile this is). I keep running downhill and wonder how many more I'll have to evade.

      + summary: in too-small 2nd shower, clingy wet curtain, at sink with mom, razor, false teeth
      I'm standing in a very small square shower in my childhood home, I'm trying to adjust the shower curtain so that it is entirely inside the shower so that the water does not run out on to the floor, I try to adjust it several times. The shower curtain is wet and clingy and annoying it is clinging to me all over, it is a full circle curtain. I'm thinking of the other, main shower which is all tile and doesn't have a 360-degree curtain, shouldn't I be using that shower instead? I'm talking out loud (to my mother?).
      Standing at the sink with my mother (don't see her but I know she's there), I get a razor out of the medicine cabinet and get my own blade cartridge out, I know this is my mothers' razor but I will be replacing the blade. Something doesn't fit? I get out my dad's razor (which looks like something small like a thimble). Then I'm holding a straight set of a bridge of false teeth, and I'm attaching my own module of false teeth to this bridge, it's fitting right into the existing teeth, I will later remove (my mothers?) teeth and attach my own to the apparatus.

      + I'm going somewhere, but I think I'm taking a side-trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (from Madison?) on a plane. I think about telling my kids that now I've been to these places in the US, before this trip I'd not been to either place. The plane is landing in a parking lot, I'm driving the plane like a car and I keep trying to brake but there's not enough open ground and I keep having to turn the plane 90 degrees to avoid the parked cars, I think "there's not enough runway!".

      Inside, time to check in to the hotel. There's a very long line of people (mostly young women) in the hallway extending up a stairway, this line will take forever! I walk to the front of the line just to check it out and reach an empty theater lobby, there are closed doors all along a wall that lead in the hall, the performance must be in progress and the line of people is waiting for a break in the performance so that they can enter. I encounter an usher who (tells me to go back in line?) I ask "oh so is that line waiting for the show?".

      Walking back towards the line I encounter a girl with a loose t-shirt and small breasts who's sort of dancing around, I get some peeks down her shirt, she's also wearing a skirt and I think about trying to peek up it but don't see anything.

      I'm kissing a pretty blonde girl who I think looks a lot like SaJa (friend young man, in PA), I think she's his cousin [false memory], should we get married?

      I'm in a (hotel room?) lying on a bed/couch right in front of a big TV and on the TV a buxom girl is approaching the camera and showing cleavage, the shot stops with one breast fully exposed right in front of the camera. Someone comes in my room? I try to rewind or clear the screen. There's a second TV a little to the right and slightly farther away, a smaller TV, it is showing the same program as on the first TV but it's at a point earlier in the program. (I see Kyle Chandler, the actor?)

      + summary: gardening in the commune
      I'm outdoors in a garden. A small group of people is gathered (sitting/kneeling) around a line of plants growing. The plants are about a foot tall and made up of a lot of small, slightly curled green leaves, sort of like a tea plant or basil. I inspect the plants and see on some of them there are some yellow leaves, and on the one closest to me a big patch of yellowing leaves. The instructor of the group is telling us this is bad, we must keep the plants clean and green. I'm thinking we're supposed to spend all our time outside watching these plants and immediately prune away any undesirable growth. Someone pulls the large clump of yellow leaves off of the plant next to me. I think the plant will be rather barren after this but it looks pretty good, still.

      I start to ask pointed questions about what exactly is a bad leaf. One the plant 2nd from the end I'm holding a giant leaf, about 2 feet long, using it as an example: must the leaves all look like this one? Yes it's freakishly large but is it the example of a good leaf? Does any curl at all indicate a bad leaf? I think the instructors are getting annoyed with my questions.

      Me and a friend need to clean the dishes up from the garden, we must leave the garden perfectly neat so that in the morning when the work starts it beings with a perfectly clean garden. We carry some dirty dishes and a bucket up to the house from the garden. Do we have to do these dishes? There's a dishwashing woman I think who will do it. I'm scooping some (soggy bread?) out from the dirt as well.

      + summary: "soccer" and dodge-ball, alma mater vs. arch rival
      In an indoor basketball gymnasium on the floor, tons of people, there are lines of competitors on each side. It's a "soccer" game. It's our team's turn to kick the ball in the middle, the last time this happened a big strong guy on the other team (scored?), now our guy (I think not me?) must approach and risk getting kicked and a ball in the face from this big guy. Our guy kicks the ball and it's a score! What constitutes a score is the ball going over the heads of the judges sitting at the desk, within the left/right boundaries. I watch the ball fly over several times as a replay, at first I see some goal boundaries and think we really missed, but the line of judges seems to extend beyond these boundaries so it must have been a good goal.

      Down on the far end of the gymnasium is a game of dodge-ball, my alta mater vs. its arch-rival school. A girl on the opposing team approaches to throw, she's tricky, her head position/ gaze is a fake out and the throws towards me. I reach to catch it but the throw is very fast, the ball lodges between my shoulder and the shoulder of a teammate standing right next to me. I take the ball to throw and I think I'm going to get a really powerful shot, I notice the opposing team seems to be all girls, I throw the ball and someone on my team hits my arm just before the shot and my shot is weak as a result (and is caught?).

    13. 2015-06-15 nothing b4 WBTB, afterwards nice detailed dreams with variety and some long semi-lucid se

      by , 06-15-2015 at 10:10 AM
      Nothing at 6 hrs waking, then after a brief WBTB a bunch of nicely detailed dreams including a semi-lucid semi-epic .

      + playing football (jerseys are inside out), miss an interception, guy kicks the point after, I go to judge, stuck in field-goal closet, break out an opening, see that "Mindy" (male) the hobo made up a neat room "carpeted" with rough sandpaper and will be parking his motorcycles there

      + fight in long curved hallway with "cricket" (MIB) gun, shoot, miss, aim carefully, hit, no real effect, the gun has three small switches that must be cocked before each shot, it shoots a rainbow colored beam

      + (semi-lucid) in a building pursuing a bad guy, fly/phase through wall to street, persuing car, dream image is half-sized, I'm trying to fully enter the scene and make it "full-screen", in house, dominate evil DC, encounter girl, sexy time, get on couch with other DCs, graze the leg of another girl DC who's surprised, move to another couch and make out (briefly so as not to lose the dream) caress several more girls, visuals fade out but I maintain tactile contact and visuals return, another girl moves to straddle me I expect sex but she opens her mouth (lots of large, sharp teeth!) and lowers her head to bite my chest and I wake up

      + standing at a large, round kitchen table, Indian mothers with kids are eating toast, there's a toaster at each place on the table, I want toast too but I can't find bread, there are cookies, I find them under a shelf away from table, my wife is talking religion with the father who's skeptical down at the far end of the table; I move to the adjacent living room to play a game with NM (grad) and his wife A and their friends/family, it's a role-playing game, N's wife A gets really cozy with me we're sitting with our arms around each other I feel self-conscious about this and take my arms off of her but she keeps holding me close, I make "I don't know what to do?" "shrug" expressions with my eyes to show I'm not trying to come on to her, A is really cute and I think about asking her out and wonder what she'll say

    14. 2015-06-14: beautiful open southwest vistas, cleaning a public bathroom (vivid)

      by , 06-14-2015 at 01:06 PM
      ~Dreamer~ would be proud, the "main event" of last night was a 15+ minute vivid dream about cleaning toilets and scrubbing the filthy tile walls of a public bathroom

      Recall of dreams #2 and #5 only came in after about 45 minutes of recall and dream review.

      + in a house, party, big house, it's my house, large well-decorated rooms, I'm walking around and get mixed up where I'm going, I think people will be impressed with my house; best friend MR arrives knocking a long time on the door

      + with people choosing a location: we're now in the American south west, like Arizona: wide open vistas, a long line of distant rocky bluffs fill the horizon (visually really stunning), I say I really like it but it's too dry/desolate, then I fly up in the air to get a better perspective and the plot changes to some chasing theme.

      + at a gas station [DS], chewing out my team they're not cooperating, all of a sudden my former boss arrives I instantly recognize her (looks completely accurate), I'm quite surprised, I say "no no I'm not talking about you", then we hang out eating a picnic off the roof of my car (large chunks of thick steak), I'm concerned people will get upset with us for hogging the position by the pumps

      + (vivid, long) we (wife and I?) locked ourselves inside a public bathroom (at the gas station?), I'm scrubbing the toilet, the filthy tile walls with scotch pad, I see each tile as I clean it, some of them have pictures of famous people's faces, I'm trying to choose a scrubbing pattern to get the entire wall clean, we'll have to rinse off the soap foam, the toilet has been repaired with deep red caulking that makes it look like it's covered in blood I think this is really strange, there's a toilet mounted vertically on the wall (so that the bowl points down towards the floor!) that I open up and a huge cloud of ass-gas fills my nostrils it smells like someone who had been eating nothing but chorizo burritos for a week took a massive dump there, the vertical toilet is covered in dark red heavy oil, the floor toilet is clogged by a massive turd I keep trying to flush it down, trying to find something to force it down, it eventually goes and I flush once more wondering if it will go down or overflow; they're knocking on the door, we'll have to let them in?, they point to the structure across the street (through the walls?), the floor toilet bowl is now is filled with a little model version of a classical (Roman?) building with marble columns, I point out how I've cleaned the walls and how you can see the pattern of bright/dark tiles where I've cleaned.

      + talking with a guy who's wearing a company badge with his manager's name (ShCl), the same one I worked for at a former company, I see ShCl sitting at the end of the table, I keep asking him when he worked there (dates) but he doesn't answer, it turns out we worked on the same project for the same manager, and potentially even at the same time, I sort of see/remember his name.

      + I'm sitting at a table with friends, my "girlfriend?" is there and I encourage her to come sit with us at the table

      + Observing a variety of sex toys in a store, comparing what is available in one country to what is available in another (on different shelves)

      + My older son S1 is in bed I think he's fake sleeping, I creep closer and peer over an obstruction and see his (creepy) open eyes staring back at me, he's playing a sort of on-line game with younger son S2, S2 is using S1's name for the game, and S1 is trying to "hide" his pieces from view so S2 doesn't cheat.
