    1. Night of Monday 3/18/24

      Spit:
      I'm with girlfriend's friend group, with their respective significant others (H&A and G&S).
      It's sort of blue and cloudy outside.
      I'm with the guys by large rocks playing a game.
      ...
      Later I'm at an apartment that I know is mine.
      I'm standing in a living room area in a circle with the guys.
      I decide to spit up some water I was drinking, toward G.
      I have the intent to show that something outlandish like that is OK.
      A thinks it is funny, and G returns the favor.
      But G isn't returning the favor. Though the spitup looks like clear water, he is actually puking from disgust.
      Oops.

    2. Night of Saturday 9/23/23

      Went to bed around 11:45PM

      Directionless at the Arcade
      I'm at a lively arcade with either my friend H or my ex H. It is a two-player game, but she is watching. I lost a lot of recall here because I waited too long to record.
      I'm playing a game where one controls a green lightening bolt that quickly moves across the screen.
      If it impacts a wall, you lose. There are many obstacles and the speed is high, so it is difficult.
      I die multiple times and end up on my last life. I realize on my second last life that I can change direction mid-move, not committing to a direction.
      I can do that repeatedly, allowing me to dodge obstacles as the screen scrolls that I couldn't before.
      I am getting much further this time and hopes are high. Very exciting.
      I finally die, and I reach for a bag of coins to continue as the countdown to do so speeds up.
      I get the impression that I know the coins are mine and it is OK to use them, but also that H doesn't know that and is surprised I am reaching for them.

      Recalled from earlier in the night.

    3. Night of Friday 9/22/23

      by , 09-23-2023 at 04:13 PM (Dreamlog)
      Went to bed around 11:30PM.

      New Life
      I'm with my family at a hospital. I recall Grandma P and sister-in-law K in particular.
      There is a glass viewing case that has the newborn baby girl in it.
      The baby is "K Junior". I bring my Grandma P over to make sure she gets to see the baby, and she tells me she already has.
      We are rushing down a hall, and at the end of the hall there is a room similar to the small band room from high school.
      There is a group assembled here. My friend H is part of it. I think the subject of the dream has changed at this point.
      H has a new girlfriend and it is an exciting mystery about who it is. There are other members of our friend group there too.

      ...
      Later I'm rushing outside to a car. It's a downpour of rain.
      I'm carrying my saxophone case. My Dad is driving the car.
      He won't pop the trunk so I can't put it away. I'm frustrated because he won't help me.
      It seems he wants me to bring the saxophone case in the car with me.

      Recalled from earlier in the night.

      Random Dancing
      I'm at a dance studio. It resembles the one my girlfriend and I went to a few year back.
      I'm with my friend H again and we are in a line leading to the front desk.
      I'm nervous because I'm bad at dancing.
      There is a screen behind the desk and it has a randomized list revealing who will be dancing with who.
      H is paired with someone else, and I don't recall who my partner is.

      Recorded around 7AM.

      Axe-Steal
      I'm playing a Zelda game. It resembles Tears of the Kingdom. My girlfriend S is watching me play.
      We are in a lava-themed area. I'm currently fighting a tall monster.
      There is a new partner (similar to Navi, Tatl, KoRL, Midna, Fi etc) that has the ability to steal enemy weapons mid-strike.
      In a dramatic and exciting moment, I execute this ability just as the monster is thundering down a massive axe toward me.
      The axe gets a green glow (similar to how the ultra-hand works) and teleports to Link's hands. S thinks it is awesome. We're both excited about it.
      At that moment, the game slows down, and the background is red. The silhouette of Link holding the axe and the action lighting makes the moment all the more epic.
      I strike, the monster falls, I win.

      Recorded around 7AM.

    4. Night of Monday 9/11/23 (Comp Night 11)

      by , 09-12-2023 at 07:25 PM (Dreamlog)
      Went to bed around 11:30PM.

      Romantic Confusion
      I'm at a park. It is reminiscent of the one where we celebrated my sister's birthday many years ago.
      I'm with my girlfriend's dad. He is cooking some beef roast on the grill.
      The meat is a sphere cut into sections and it stands up on its own. Like a mandarin orange.
      I get the impression that he wants to know about whether I am going to propose to my girlfriend or not.
      I feel guilty for being unable to answer him yet.
      There is a medical facility on the edge of the park. It's white, clean, sterile. Like a lab.
      I'm inside a bar-like section now and I'm with my Uncle J, taking his and a few others' pizza order.
      There are 3 or 4 styles of pizzas ordered overall and I am struggling to remember it all.
      To put the order in, I had to travel through the facility, which had indoor and outdoor sections.
      On the way there I chat with someone about how the layout of this place is stupid, particularly the unfinished outdoor sections.
      I make it to another bar section, having entirely forgotten about the order, and I have a beer in my hand.
      My friend H is there. She expresses romantic interest in me but as she is saying it, a drunk person stumbles between us creating a lot of noise.
      The sound covers her speech, but I still hear it. She pretends the noise prevented me from hearing it.
      I'm relieved, because I'm not sure how to react.
      Later a young Asian man, who clearly leads his group of friends, comes over to me.
      "Dude, did you see how cute she was? You have to say something!"
      "I have a girlfriend man," I say.
      He makes an overly animated expression with his hands while making an agitated noise, which I take to mean "You should weigh your options."
      Later I encounter H in the bathroom, which doesn't make a ton of sense.
      For some reason, we know we are supposed to mark locations on the urinal with a marker.

      Recorded around 5:00AM. Near the end of sleep cycle 3.
