Main earthy for stream I lay down on my back I fell asleep on my back Harri was contemplating in her piece I'm gonna fall asleep resume and play quickly and who I Dream where I met wife E kind of a recurring Dream sign and I should do some mild about we kind of got back to Catherine there was something about A Sing on a very hilly town like San Francisco what's just normal houses like cars my health's kind of at the top of the hill maybe doing something in the living room there don't really remember that I'm outside and this is kind of the main part I going to be trying to do a wild and involves There there is is a white climbing rope hanging outside of a house and it has large knots about every foot so it should be easy tdecline and the wild procedure seems to require climbing this rope and hanging from it upside down until you fall asleep I'm imagining that I'm kind of lying there on I feel sort of obviously my waking body because I like I'm lying on the ground and my head is kind of squished up in a sort of uncomfortable position Against my chest and I guess I'm thinking that if I fall asleep I may fall down off this rope into this position and that's bad I might break my neck or hurt my head if I fall into the same position onto the ground then I'm thinking how can I hook my leg around this rope so that I won't fall anything that looks like the guy who is watching this whole thing might be interested in me falling asleep and falling off and getting hurt so I kind of get up on the throat but I pulled away very far to the side And then I'm in a very wide open area like a very extensive park and I'm swinging now on this rope I let I pull it way to the side to get a big kind of swing going and I let go from so I start to swing and it's almost not really swinging it's like I'm practically flying moving horizontally quickly through this park and the idea is I have to while I'm moving on this road like this I'm swinging I need to fall asleep but the problem is that there are so many obstacles around like trees coming up ahead and laughed a kind of guide by a software around them that way and I can't really I'm not really free to fall asleep Because I'm bashing to these trees and then I reach one side of the of the swing and I kind of turned around and go back to the other direction lends the same sort of thing there are lots of people around and trees and I'm concerned about bashing into something so I can't relax enough to fall asleep to wild then

+ church I stump out I remember I'm in a church service with a lot of people and I stomp out I guess I've lost my faith and I stomped out of the church and I have a couple of old buttons in my hand from my guess the outfit that I'm wearing and I throw them aside but we're gonna go with this day and then discuss to get rid of these thanks maybe and then there's another system with 2 altered boys areralph Raymond and the carrying the snow prayer fantasy but the relief their giant access there's sharpens to their interpreted designs that are silver metal and they're large you know they're like the basketball slice oh yeah bowling And like I say all other things sharpened things music yeah and then there's a scene where I son S1 goes outside toward dog L I guess we're a dog I can see the scene from inside that I can see it down on the street below he walks from right to left and he hooked up a rope in a series of plastic faces to the dog who is dragging them behind them menu's gathering water or it's slowing him down or something I don't know and Yes there's cause it's kind of a final scene I remember is that there's a place in a building where you go up against the window and there's it's an aquarium and it's at an inside level and that's really cool I think I don't know maybe it's like the living room of 3HC

+ bowling

memo 23:
+ aquarium

I don't know anyway I gotta cut off anywhere there's a sufficiand third in order of that there is the fish the aquarium load of Volkswagen sharks are really large weird fish I brought people back a second time to look at them and then there is the bowling alley I was describing the bowling alley how the guy turned off the lane how the ball wasn't the rest of the room and the ball returned for the ball to come back I'm like a blue looking for ball a that's a good fit by fingers and thumb size and weight and they pull it out and they bowl ball and it kind of wonders around on the lane a little bit and it hits the left gutter and goes down the left gutter and I wash your grit on the left gutter and I'm thinking it's suspended up over the regular as opposed to sitting down inside it and think of the stresses on the sides of the gutter and so forth

W2: Fake Voice in Call
I call my old priest Fr. J on the phone. I hear his voice. I am disguising my voice at first. We talk a bit, he doesn't understand who's calling, then I stop disguising my voice and say, "It's me! <my correct full name>! Remember, we played billiards before". (I don't remember if he recognized me or not).

W2: Shower/Drain
(S/A being outside in twilight/dark, nature/farm environment). I'm in a shower [rare], I'm adjusting the temperature and the strength, dim lighting, I'm also adjust the the fabric shower curtain around me. Later I'm inspecting the (carpeted?) floor, there are two small white plastic "periscopes" sticking up from the floor, I think (S/O says?) that these are connected to the room's drain system.

W2: Bowling
I'm a bowling alley. Dim lighting [DS]. A group of us (kids?) are there. I'm observing the shots that the guy in the neighboring lane is making, and thinking about them. I do not see him, the view is a 1st person view looking down the alley from the foul line towards the pins. I see the ball rolling towards the pins over the course of many shots. The first shot has a curve to it and he gets the 7 pin. Almost all the positions are with only the 7 pin (maybe once with the lone 10 pin) and the guy is working on a spare. Never a full set of pins. Later shots have a 7 pin, without curve, and the ball usually goes into the left gutter. Then I'm talking with my guys/kids and asking them if they want the kids rails set up, and they say yeah it's much better with them (and they say it's good for me, too?). But I wonder, if I get a personal best record with the kids rails set up, will my record count? We "finish" our turn and I'm talking to the staff to set us up again on the same lanes. "Yes I'd like to play again on lanes 3 and 4". Standing a bit to the right of "our" lanes when I say this. There are some columns supporting the ceiling running down the right side of the rightmost of our two lanes.

W2: Around the Nuclear Research Facility
[DO] outside a large building which is at least 100 meters away, and below me. I'm looking through glass walls [DS] to watch what's going on inside. Narrator or S/O says that they do research here on materials exposed to nuclear radiation, (to find materials that resist it well). I think that's useful research.

Around "back" of the facility, which may be a shopping mall now, I see tons of junk/stuff/garbage piled up to be hauled away. There are some very large cardboard packing boxes (the size of refrigerators) there. There are a couple of guys hauling stuff out from the back entrance and piling them up here. I think this process will take a long time (all night) and they'll be busy clearing away all this stuff. We have the idea of going inside. The guy I'm with says "hey, let's use the PIO twin ion entrance (some phrase like that). I see a closed door that the guy means we should go through. I know that the PIO moniker means the entrance hallway contains poisonous materials, I say that and that we can't go in there.

Standing w/guy inside a small room, a trailer, looking at a set of shelves along the wall. The shelves are filled with the logbooks of the guys who work at the facility. There are dozens and dozens of these books all stacked and piled up on these shelves. I see initials printed on some of these books, like "J.B.". As I'm looking/touching, there is an avalanche of these logbooks that falls down [things falling down= DS] onto the floor/into a bin. I'm working then on picking them up and putting them back in place. It's going to take a long time and I don't want to finish the task, I'm looking at the pile of books in the bin and decide that there were already a lot of them there like that so I just stop.

W3: SB red hair
In a room with ex-GF SzBntn, she is very short [shorter than waking], and she had short (just to top of traps) very orange, light orange hair. It had a slight curl to it at the bottom. She was walking away from me in the room, and she was complaining about her dissertation. (I come up to her at a table, lean on the table, and say "how can I help"?). There is a row of professors standing in the room.

W3: Locker room & washing machine
I'm in a locker room [DS] walking along a row of lockers looking for mine. Some lockers have grates on top of the door, a fine mesh like a screen door mesh. It seems like my locker is not here, I don't recognize it even through I'm standing in the right spot, maybe they put a grate on top of it? I reach for "my" locker and apply a long cylindrical key and open the door.

S/A some guy using a washing machine to wash the (blood?) out of his clothes.

W3: Super deep pool
I'm standing at one end of a massively deep diving/swimming pool, 40 feet or more deep. It is long and rectangular and set outside in daylight. I'm thinking that swimming at the top of this will be like flying. I'm in the pool, and I see floating nearby my yellow [true] swim goggles. I reach for them several times but I can't grasp them, on the third try I finally can grab them. There is a short rectangular "warmup" pool area in the middle of the short end of the big pool. I'm in this, there are other people standing nearby, I'm thinking S/T about this warm-up pool.

W3: Fragments
Conversation about "What books are you reading?" I'm answering this question, I name some books, they all seem to be fantasy books, (I see the pile of books before me?)

"Reprogram the fate machine because it's free" -- there is a machine (that controls fate?) that is controlled / parameterized by burning incense sticks (?), we come across this machine, and there are no attendants, so we can use this opportunity to reprogram it [weak memory, forgot this at first, even after reading this phrase, finally came back]

W4: Wiring Outlets
Standing outside a trailer/apartment, there are new people (immigrants?) inside it, a man and a woman, of modest means. I think they're going to redecorate, that they have rolls of material (blinds/wallpaper?) that they're going to use. They are proud of their modest home. I'm looking in at them (just the woman is there visible) through slatted blinds. Then I'm with a man (same man?) and we're wiring and installing up a pair of electrical outlets. There is a central screw that holds the outlet into its box/frame and I discover that installing this screw really makes the rest of the installation easier. He asks me if I connected the "return" line, and I say I didn't, because the outlet is already connected to ground. He says an expert really recommends connecting this line between the outlets because it provides a "return path" for the current. I think that sounds like a good idea and we should do it if it was recommended.

W4: Pick up cake [DS]
Outdoors in a group of people on some vague concrete walkway (bridge?), someone is sweeping up pine needles/pine cones, and I move to help/take over and pick up and remove this pile, but the organizer of the clean-up directs me to remove the desserts that are on the side. There are two (chocolate?) cakes on the ground, on a sort of large sheet of chocolate that is already melted in to the concrete, I need to scrape up this base layer first before I can move the cakes. There are little edible decorations on top of the cakes like little flowers. I'm moving these cakes off to the side. A small dog (my dog J?) comes and sniffs around and will probably eat these cakes, so we need to better take them away, somebody offers a cake box and I start to pack the cake into the box.

W4: Ordering Fast Food [DS]
I'm in a city back in the US (Seattle?), I think now that I'm back here I can order some fast food [DS] like Taco Bell or Jack in the Box, but I "know" it's close to closing time so I'd better order delivery quickly online using the computer. [visuals fuzzy]. S/A not sure which city the restaurant is located in.

W4: Fragments
Theme of doing something in a group of young people (making a bomb or other small objects?). I'm holding some object in my hand, a drain piece, and I'm checking it for leaks by feeling all around it and trying to detect and dampness.

Summary of the Night

• BUT! Really was up from about 2:22 to 4:19, upset from a painful competitive loss in the evening, couldn't get back to sleep, got up, dogs got up, then wife got up, we all went outside and peed (well the dogs did haha), then went to bed.
• dreams were fairly long and vivid, detail has faded, need to get to recall *instantly* upon waking
• Wakings:
  
  1. 02:25 b/r, no recall, up a LONG time (see above), about 2 hours
  2. 07:58, b/r, recall

---

W2: Office Laser Tag
In a dark office, running around between cubes, playing laser tag? Or something more serious? [Memory has faded on details and how intense it was]

W2: Morning After Party [DS]
I'm walking outside with my dog G, we come across something on the ground I see is a dead skunk and something else perhaps, I say "No, G!" when he starts to sniff around it. Walking farther, I hear voices coming from the other side of a fence I'm walking along. I think these are the voices of drunk people still partying from the night before. I come around the fence and see my wife L (?) in a fairy godmother dress, she "snaps on" the front part of this dress as I watch. I'm jealous, I think she's been spending time with other people.

W2: Billiards
I'm lining up a shot on a billiards table. I'm standing at the left corner of the table and leaning over the table with my cue stick. The cue ball is still rolling from the previous person's shot. While still rolling I start manipulating the cue ball with my cue stick positioning it for a good shot for some balls on the far side of the table, aiming for the opposite (far right) corner. I think this may not be quite right, and as I think this someone says "hey, can you do that? was there a foul?" I ignore this and keep lining up my shot but am not hurrying it up a little. I stop positioning the cue ball and plan to use strong left English to make the shot, as my desired object ball is very close to another ball and I can't get enough angle on it, so I decide to try to use "throw". I position my cue on the extreme left side and slowly stroke. I end up double-tapping the cue ball, and the shot is weak, so that no ball hits a rail after contact. I know this is a foul and that my opponent will have ball-in-hand next.
[strong recall of this scene because I woke directly form it]

W2: Fragment
Something outside with people?

W3: Stuff on Street
Outdoors, city street scene, daylight, I'm walking past garage metal tall shelves full of stuff. I realize that this is MY STUFF. I see little items like the little round pieces of my sprouters. I think how could my stuff be here outside, everyone will steal it! (I get into a conflict with some guy over some item and we fight? [unsure])

W3: Dinner at P&M's [vague]
I'm at dinner at P&M's. S/A the floor is very slippery. I hear my dad's voice talking, I concentrate on it and realize it doesn't really sound much like him? But it sort of does?

W3: Intimidation
Some people I'm with want me to intimidate somebody with a car. They give me several steps to perform: 1): drive up quickly to him like I'm going to hit him; 2) While my car is hovering over him lying on the ground, I'm to gun/race the engine loudly several times; [2 more? forgotten]; (honk the horn?). I am viewing my car from outside a few meters away looking at the front of it. I think this intimidation plan is a terrible idea and I do not want to do it.

W3: My car is wrong
I'm getting my car back (bought it back? from service guys?), and I'm looking at it with other people, and there are things wrong about it. My friends say "where are the 2 other doors?" (I "remember" the car was a 4-door), I look at it and see yeah this is only a 2-door. I'm starting to think they didn't give me back the right car, (or they changed it?), inside, there are various buttons/switches, but not very many, the controls seem too simplified to be my car.

W3: Traveling with L
Wife L and I are sitting at a table in big city M, I think, "after all, why shouldn't we travel? We could go to M, and to other cities". My son S2 is there, I'm asking him, in a foreign language, "how did you like city <city>?"

W3: Driving in car
Some people and I are driving in my car, and 2 other guys each in their own cars have had something to do with my car, like they performed service on it or something. I think they may have increased the top speed of my car too much. I'm in the back seat with someone else, it's actually like the way-back, a long narrow seat like a bobsled, and I'm trying to strap in with the seat belt, both of us. The other two guys speed on ahead of us, I see looking out the front window, they're driving things like go-carts, very low, open, wide wheels, and I think they're driving 130 and 150.

W3: They'll find you
[waking up thought?] I think that no matter what country you try to run to and hide in, the intelligence agency will be able to find you. If you leave the country for too long.

W1: Boy Scouts
At Boy Scout camp, outdoors, I realize that I've forgotten my utensils (also, plate and cup)! This is the first time this has happened! I'm wondering how I'll eat. Talking about this with a friend and they say, "at least you have your pocket knife," and I realize this is true, so it's not all bad

W1: "Dad" Group
Indoors in a large open room like a public or University library there is a group of young boys around 10-11yo at a table, they are really happy to see me, they all shout in unison, "Dad!" I see a young version of my best friend MkRb, then I see another copy of him in a different spot

W1: [Fragment]
Something outdoors with a group of people, and an underpass?

W2: New 3D chip! [DS]
At work at [company R], I'm with my office mate StPd and we're working on a gaming cabinet trying to bring up our new 3D graphics chip. I manage to get a high-res graphics display working, seems sort of like old Apple II hires graphics (greens and purples), and a screen scene sort of like the old Apple II game "Star Wars" [trying to shoot the TIE fighter], we get it working and there is a screen of some animating objects, spinning around, we're really happy, game dev guy JyEsnlwr comes by and we do a (virtual?) high-5.

Walking through the building/large open room, I'm eating (somebody else's?) Cheeze-Its.

Another demo station, there is a guy working on the VR goggles. He takes off the head set and offers it to me, I see it clearly, it looks very realistic, I see the goggle outline, the head band and the two eye piece screens on the inside. I put it on and try it out. It's running a program of the display of a sort of a 3D mummy/skull, brown and black, amazingly vivid, and I'm moving my head around, left and right, and appreciating all the changing lighting and shadowing effects a I move my head.

There is a guy where who is challenging me about the scanline programming. He's demanding that I answer about the nature of the scanline layout, what the stride between lines is, I feel like he's trying to trap me in to admitting that I don't understand or mis-designed it. I'm thinking about his questions and don't want to give a wrong answer. Then I finally realize and say "Well, of course the right answer is to have a register which holds the value of the scanline stride, so that it can be completely programmable."

W2/3: City Skiing
DO there are people skiing on city streets. The streets are very steep, like in San Francisco. There steep hill sections between intersections are broken up by level areas where the cross streets go across the steep vertical streets, so the steep sections are not continuous hills but have flat areas every block. There are cars also driving on the streets and I'm sort of amazed that the skiers are able to share the streets with the cars.

W2/3: Burning Building
[Some longer part of the dream, forgotten] In the distance I see a large building with smoke coming from it, it is probably on fire.

W2/3: Mega Theater/DMV near epic
Entering the Theater

I'm with a male friend and we're in line for a major performance in a theater. As we approach the main entrance, the usher stops the line and blocks the entrance with a ribbon, right in front of us. I think "what bad luck, we almost made it in." There is a huge crowd still in the lobby/entry way in front of us. I think there is space for us still in the line. The crowd surges forwards, and now there is room for us and they remove the ribbon and let us in. We join the crowd surging forwards to hurry in to the theater. We enter it, it is cavernous, a huge theater with many levels and many different seating sections. We're in the back right corner of the theater, either ground level or 2nd level. The theater extends very far in front of us and to the left, it is really huge.

Finding our seats

Everyone is rushing to find their seats before the performance starts, because once they lower the lights it will be impossible to find the seats and we'll have to leave the theater. We've moved to the left hand side of the theater, it's really confusing, I'm trying to figure out where we're sitting. The seat is marked by a combination of section, (then row and seat #?), but I can't figure out where our section is. I figure that I can bisect the search by finding the sections larger than our and less than our and then ours will be in the middle. There are sections full of seated people all around us.
[A lot more, really long dream, forgotten]
S/A meeting w/ people in a central area?

Enter the DMV

There is a really large indoor lobby, this is the (DMV?) we're here to do some administrative tasks. We enter the large area and descend to the ground floor, we need to get through a turnstyle/gate, some people (my friend?) is let through, but I'm detained and brought to an administrator. The admin says that I am denied service because of a violation, and shows a video of me at some automated robot kiosk where I supposedly was earlier, the kiosk (robot? clown?) asked me a question and I gave a flagrantly false answer. And because of this lie, they are denying me service.

W2: Bathroom Pod
In an indoor space, house maybe, or a dorm, I need to pee and I enter the bathroom, which is a round room right about 2-3 meters in diameter in the middle of a corridor. It has sliding curtains on each end, and I slide them closed on both sides. At the top where the curtain meets the wall, there is a latching mechanism that locks the curtain in place. I flip the lock (down? up?) (it's like a light switch, a vertical lever) on both pieces.

W2: Sports Announcer Room
I'm getting a tour of a large complex, like a sports stadium administrative area, or a (old?) school. We're in a room that I think is used by the sports announcers when they're giving the play by play of the games. It's a sort of messy/decrepit area. My vision focuses on a wall where there's a blackboard. The blackboard is not clean, there are signs of previously written things there, or a template that is used over and over again, I think it needs to be cleaned. On the wall are signs of left-over posters (?). The guy giving the tour says that "it will be painted" (the walls...to a grey color?).

W2: Touring the Housing Complex
Possibly a continuation of Sports Announcer, the guide and I are traveling outside in daylight along a gravel road that leads through a housing complex. The houses are to the left and right. It is a wide open area with no trees on flat ground, only the gravelly road and the houses up ahead. The houses, particularly on the left, are maid of large, brightly colored stones that look like jewels, many different colors in patterns along the front of the houses. The guy giving the tour said the houses are made of "native stone." (Go inside one of the houses and see some of the people there?)

W2: Movie Theater
I'm sitting in a movie theater. I'm in a central seat in the central back section. The theater is about 30-40% full, with people evenly spaced around the entire seating area. The seating area does not slope much, and the heads of the people sitting in the front sections will obscure the screen a little bit. The screen area is like a small clamshell theater stage, approximately a hemi-sphere. There is scaffolding in the area -- it's currently under renovation apparently. I can see the areas of the curved wall that have been freshly painted/covered with spackle. The display area left to the projector is quite small, I think. Just a few square feet.

A guy comes in and walks down the left aisle and seats himself in the left-of-center section. This is a guy "I know" and "am waiting for," in our group, and I think he should be sitting with us, and that we perhaps should signal him so he can come sit with us.

W3: LD Cream
[Waking up hypnogogia?]
DO, observing, holding in my hand a can of cream. It's used to help LDing? S/O says (or it's written on the can) "I'm 24 and it's still difficult for me." Then S/A taxation, and how the price will keep going up because the taxes will increase, while the base price of the item stays the same.

W2: Baby Decompression
DO indoors hospital treatment room. A baby has suffered a compressive neck injury, and is placed in a vertically seated decompression device. The baby is held in place and cannot move during the procedure. The baby seems happy at first. Then the decompression device begins to work, and stretches the baby to about 2x its normal height. The expression on the face of the baby moves to abject horror as it unexpectedly experiences excruciating pain. It is completely helpless to affect what is happening to him.

W2: Water Level
Tires

Outdoors, standing on some sort of boat (?) in a locks. I'm looking forwards, facing the side of the lock, and looking up. Along the edge there in a long line I see several rows (length-wise, one after the other) of old tires or buoys that look very rotten. They appear to have been under water for a long time, then the water level dropped, making them visible.

Bridge

My position on the locks has changed. I've moved to the end, on a bridge overlooking the whole thing.

Pool

I'm standing on the deck of a public swimming pool. This pool is in another state and so the laws are different and the water is a different color. It is not white, it is clear transparent. There is a staff member/lifeguard there talking about it (?). I think that in other pools, the water is blue.

Flower pot

There is a flower pot there on the pool deck. Something happens with it, there is a bet I make with someone else about it

Coins

I've paying out money for the debt about (the flower pot?). I'm counting out either 6 or 16 <foreign currency>, dropping the coins on the ground (?)

W2: Truck
I'm behind a (white?) pickup truck with vertical ladders on it mounted on its very back section, we're stopped at a stop light. There's a station wagon to the right of the truck, and a kid comes out of the wagon, it's the son(?) of the driver of the truck. The truck driver still has to work, but the son gets on to the ladder on the right back section of the truck. There is a band that moves vertically along the ladder, and as it reaches the boy and moves down over his face and body, it compresses his face and contorts it into strange shapes as it moves over his face. The the boy's mom is on the left ladder, and the movable band comes down over her face and her eyes bulge out in cartoon manner, and distorts as the band moves up and down over her face.

W2 Fragments
Doctor

Somebody (inside a a building? A parent or a doctor?) is saying that somebody else should be a doctor

Baby Dream

I'm telling about the Baby Decompression dream to somebody

W2/3: Communion
In a church the communion services is going on, there are people lining up, there is a table/altar/desk of drawers. I'm holding a card of some sort (with an image on it?), and I ask the priest (a woman) if this is OK to have with me, she says no. So I put it in a drawer of the table, then I take my place withe the others and (take communion?)

W2/3: Laundry Room
In a (basement?) area of a building, indoors, it's a laundry room. I see someone with a large laundry cart (looks like a plastic garbage can like the kind with a lid that can be rolled), and I think I want to get one of these to bring my laundry down to the room, too. There is a towel guy in the room (I talk to him?), I'm trying to find the elevator so that I can use it to get the laundry cart down to the room.

W4: Sidewalk
Outdoors/city/sidewalk/daylight I'm walking on a city sidewalk near the curb, there is a group of mixed kids of different ages and adults walking the other direction. As we meet they continue past me I'm walking in the middle of them and they're rubbing up against my arms as we pass each other.

W4: Cosmetics
Indoors, dark/twilight lighting, In a department store? There are sinks and mirrors and rows of cabinets. I'm thinking that a certain cosmetic brand has reduced its produce line for kids: now there is only one model of each product for each sex. I'm at a sink, trying out the soap.

W4: Mob meeting
Meeting at night in a deserted area of a city, near a large building with a covered parking area, with mobsters [DS? Appearing a lot recently]

W4: Contraband
Backpack

I'm forced to take a stash of contraband. I want to refuse it, it's very dangerous, but they're going to check (our backpacks?) that we actually took it. I'm trying to close the zipper on the main upper large section of my old orange Boy Scout backpack. The guys who packed it stuffed it too full. The left-side zipper is broken and won't close the compartment at first, but I run it backwards for a bit then forwards again, then it properly zips. I heft the backpack on my back to feel how heavy it is. I tighten the shoulder straps by pulling down on the adjustment straps on each side's shoulder strap. Then I think about putting on the hip belt, to help keep a portion of the weight off of my shoulders. It feels comfortable on my back.

Trying to ditch it

I'm taking out all the contraband and stuffing it into a garbage bag, preparing to ditch it or burn it somewhere. There are little microfilms that keep sticking to my hand and falling back to the ground. I have the thought "you don't want to get caught with this sort of contraband, they [the prisoners] will kill you in prison by very painful torture"

W2: Naval battle
Mostly DO. Starting with an overhead view of a map, it shows the position of a naval battle (historical?), then real ships are sailing, and they are firing their cannons, the entire long broadside of one ship fires, I think that's a lot of canons. Afterwards, a team of scrappers arrive and their job is to dismantle the big ship in to parts (for sale?). We go to one end of the ship and they say that they have found objects including an old car hidden inside the structure of the ship using x-ray imagine. They give an estimate for the complete dismantling job.

W2: Bad check con
There are two people, a man and a woman, who run a bad check con. The woman is inside a store and I hear her talking with the owner, she has bought the entire inventory of the store and wants confirmation that everything there is hers now. The man is walking outside on the street.

W2: Observed by woman
I'm inside a room in a house/building talking with people. I see that there is a woman peeking at me around a slightly opened door. I want her to go away. (I push the door closed?). After the door closes I watch the gap underneath the door to see by the shadow/lighting if she is still standing there or not.
