Two Broken Something
It is a bright day. Really bright, like Las Vegas bright. I am standing next to a swimming pool at my house that also is a dealership of some sort. At the end of the pool there is a show room and the house is built around it. I walk along the edge of the pool and I see two workers on the other side of the pool. I can hear them talking about "two broken something." They are using a word other than "something" but I can't understand it. It is gibberish to me.
I continue to walk along the pool, then I see these two pots or planters. They are large and seem to be made of clay or concrete. They have plants in them and the sides of them are broken out. The workers were talking about these. I get a little irritated about the situation. Why do they always break things? EOD
Michelle
I am at work in a small room with a lot of computers. The computers are just packed in on small desks so the room is really crowded. I am thinking about how the employees do not realize that me and a couple other employees are actually the owners of the business. They don't understand just what we do. For example, I set up the network for this room.
A woman comes into the room. She looks Hispanic with black hair and kinda dark brown skin. She is very attractive. She is also a cop and wants to ask me some questions.
"Do you know Michelle Castanedez"? She ask.
"No. I don't know her".
She obviously does not believe me.
"Are you sure"?
"Yeah, I'm sure, I don't know any Michelle Castanedez".
She shows me a picture. The picture is not a photograph but a type of hologram projected by what appears to be a smart phone of some kind. That doesn't seem strange to me.
I look at the picture and I do know the woman. (She is just a DC though, I don't actually know her) I say:
"Oh her? Yeah I know her".
The police officer is looking at me like I need to explain this further. So I explain myself.
"When you asked about her, I didn't know who you were talking about. But when you showed me the picture I did recognize her. I am not lying to protect her or anything".
That answer is apparently good enough for the cop. She tells me that the Michelle Castanedez case is the one custody case that they refuse to settle.
I figure that Michelle must have left her boyfriend or husband and taken a child a with her. For some reason the police think that I am involved with Michelle. Hell, I don't even know how I know her.
Once the interrogation is done, I realize that I am no longer in the computer room. I am now sitting in the back of a car. A couple of my co-workers come get into the car. It is Friday and everyone is anxious to leave. I tell them to have a good weekend and I get out of the car. It is windy and raining out. Good thing I am wearing a trench coat. I walk along the sidewalk and I notice that there is fresh dog shit on the sidewalk. I step around to avoid stepping in it. It is a green color and really gross looking. EOD
Well, looks like my recall is back.
I slept with the NovaDreamer on the same settings as last night. I remember being awakened by it a couple of times (maybe more). I am worried that I may have the intensity set too high. One time in particular the light seemed to be intense bright white light instead of the usual red. I also recall counting the number the of flashes during the cue. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, NINE!
Since I thought the light was white at first, that makes me think I was dreaming, but when I pushed the test button it worked, so I know I was awake. I may eventually turn the intensity down, but for now I'll continue to use these settings. I want to make sure that I see the signal in the dream, even if that means a few wake ups.
I didn't have any lucids, but I am optimistic. In my dream Two Broken Something, the first thing that I noticed was how bright the day was. That is clearly the signal from the NovaDreamer. Too bad I didn't think to do a RC, I could have spent part of my night lounging by the pool in Las Vegas baby! Of course, I could do that in any lucid dream. Anyway, I need to make bright sunlight a dreamsign.
In the dream Michelle, there is no obvious signal from the ND. But that makes sense. I had that dream in my last hour of sleep after I had removed the ND. I had a good reason to remove it, not like some times before when I would mindlessly remove it in my sleep.
I forgot to add it this morning but the NovaDreamer indicates that I got 32 cues last night.
Correction: As stated above, I was reading the device wrong. I received 23 cues last night. That is about the same as the night before when I received 25.
