Met Scott M. and he was helping with my apartment building. There was Misti, Misty, and Heidi. We were in class? I was going somewhere with Scott - the house I grew up in. He put a ring on my finger - east/west marquis diamond in rose gold, with pave on the shank. The diamonds on the shank were crooked. It fit. M, M, and H were competing for his attention. Pretty. Smiles. Soft. Shower. There was a rocket ship in there somewhere.

Dream switched to after class. I saw myself on tv, where I had won a Figure Skating competition in Alabama. Heidi's dad pointed it out to me.

Issue with my old apartment. Apparently a new roommate is coming - kind of as I'm leaving. His name is Andy and he has a cold sore on his mouth. Anyway I'm showing him the place (which is the dream version of the apartment - it always look the same in dreams, however it looks nothing like the actual apartment (that should be a trigger for lucidity)). Question of what the rent would be since I would be leaving. I hadn't been to the apartment in quite some time. I think my cats were there, but there lots of insects on the floor and under the bed. I kept thinking I need to vacuum. Roommates bedroom flooded. I tried to find Elfie, the landlord. The place was suddenly a high rise complex instead of the dingbat.

I left a year and a half ago. But I must feel still very drawn to that place.

Shooting another film - John Cameron Mitchell's new one. Subject matter was sex and heroin. I was supposed to shoot up for real. But the other actor changed the scene so that I didn't have to. He "saved" me. Why would I have done that in the first place? My parents were there. Very Strange.

Perhaps it is indicative of desires I may have if there were no consequences. Something to think about.

Renting an apartment to JC. Very tidy with the bed made. Minimalist. I made corn muffins with sausage - but they were very late and hard to get them completed. Something about lips. JC disappeared.

Seemed to have moved into a larger home with some neighbors - Brian and Britta. Giant set up - but a very strange work room in the middle of the house with gigantic saws and tools. In the end we decided not to stay (I think).

Non-lucid visit with a ghost (B. Stewart). Somewhere where there are many people milling about. I see the ghost and we start talking. I tell him that I know he is dead. He smiles at me and says he is always here, watching over the guys. He gives me a lot of advice about life and says that he will just be "over there" sitting in the orange chair (like a stadium seat - sitting out in the open of this courtyard type setting), whether I can see him or not - he will be there. Such a friendly, loving, smile and hug. We talk about his son and his wife.

Later on in the dream - a different day perhaps - I return to the busy courtyard and I don't see him. I turn to the empty orange chair (about 15 ft away) and wave hello. A plastic hand that was on the arm rest waves back to me and I know it is him. Comforting.

Dream switches to being on a plane with my brother on our way to South Africa. There is no roof on the plane and I had to keep my hands on my headphones to keep them from flying off of my head. We end up at someone's house - there are pillars around the pool.

Lived in a weird apartment building. Couldn't find my keys, but had an old key that seemed to work in a random girl's apartment. I went in and took a shower. She didn't mind. I remember seeing some bats. Ended up in conversation with Shane. He showed me pics of his son (doesn't exist in real life). Born without hip bones and something else. Maybe some brain damage. He died at 16. Hugs.

non lucid. My house in the city is now in the country. A long winding country road to get there. There is a path that goes out beyond a pond/lake and there appears to be a second part to our house. I thought "cool, more bedrooms". But the kitchen was dark. To get back and forth I ride some kind of motorized saucer shaped sled. The second part turned into some kind of hotel for young singles. Don't know how that happened. Then I guess it wasn't mine anymore.

Fragments. Non Lucid. Somewhere in a high rise and I'm supposed to marry this older distinguished man. He is very into me, but there is something funny about his eyes. He kisses me passionately. I suddenly remember that I am already married.
