    1. #52 - Hotel of Slaves/Life is Cruel

      by , 11-09-2014 at 10:26 PM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      Black: Non-dream
      Blue: Non-lucid
      Red: Lucid

      Dream 1 - Hotel of Slaves (I waited a bit long to write this one down)
      I'm in a hotel with someone, I think we're casually arguing about something. The wall next to us is beneath the stairs, it gets knocked down to reveal a row of slave women with collars around their necks. They're all elves too, and we're a bit dumbstruck by this. Also we realize they probably heard everything we were arguing about, but they all look expressionless and just sit kneeling on the ground, stair at the floor blankly. We hear a servant coming up on the elevator to our room, we jump in beside the servants to hide (I think this is because we think we'll get in trouble if they know that we know that they keep slaves). The servant looks around and sees we are gone (the pushed down wall is out of sight from her standpoint), she is an elf slave too, and she walks up the stairs above us. We sigh with relief thinking that she's gone now, and decide we should do something about the slaves and wall. But beside us a long electric-blue looking snakes coils its way down a pipe from the top of the stairs, it transform into the elven girl from before,
      and I wake up.

      Dream 2 - Life is Cruel
      This dream happens in a time where things were way different, like without cars and stuff.
      The start of the dream: There is a woman, her ankle broken from being bitten by a monster and then she crawled somewhere safe only to die, either of blood-loss, cold, hunger, or all of those.

      End of the dream: A woman is crying by the lakeside, her husband had abused her and she wanted to get away. I see things unfold through the eyes of another man with dark skin, he confesses his love for her but she is too distraught to acknowledge him, he is crushed and watches as a crocodile tries to kill her. The woman kicks it away brutally. In the distance her husband is being ripped apart by a horde of crocodiles in the water, he's fighting them but they overpower him. The woman walks away, and she has to travel across a swarm of writhing snakes, they snap at her but she goes untouched, in my mind I realize she gets bitten soon, on her ankle, but I don't witness it. I only realize that she will soon be the same woman as in the start of the dream, and I wonder if I will see how it is that she dies.
    2. Car Flight GTA Style

      by , 11-09-2014 at 09:49 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #379 - DILD - 5:37AM (2 of 2)

      I am looking in the back seat of the car for something and can't find it. I look up and see the car is rolling forward. I remember that I was in bed just a moment ago and know it's a dream. I recall my conversation with Wurlman during the podcast about having fun with cars so I go for it. I have other goals but I decide to go ahead and hop in the driver seat. The car has rolled off the street it was parked on and heading toward a wooden fence. I gun it and ram through. The feeling of invincibly surges through me. I am surprised by a second chain-link fence and crash through that one as well. It has a nice sound effect.

      I come onto a four-lane highway going through a residential area. I follow the road going faster and faster. The car becomes slightly hard to handle during turns and I clip the side of a house. I don't care; this is all really fun. After a bit, I notice my view pulls back into a 3rd person perspective. I see a downtown area like on GTA5 and the dream looks very much like a video game. I notice I am not in my car anymore but some light blue SUV. I make the car go as faster (as I can imagine in this scenario) as I hit a sharp hill. It was only natural to take to the air at this point. I make the car fly up around the sky scrapers and I do a sharp turn to look around. I enjoy the view of the city, but then, I lose control and the car takes a fast dive into a busy street. There is some fiery explosions but it is mostly obscured by a large, thick cloud of opaque, black smoke.


      Suddenly, my younger daughter opens the bedroom door whining about something. I assume she's had a bad dream. My wife asks her whats wrong and my daughter replies, "The ants are living with the five."
      I lift my head up and say, "What?" I assume she's either had a bizarre dream and is still out of it or this is typical DC nonsense.
      I become semi-lucid but I feel very confused about where I am and who's bed I am in. For some reason I think I am a child again sleeping next to my mom as my dad works the night-shift. Slowly, I make sense of everything and try to make a DJ entry. However, as I fumble around the feeling of heavy SP, I remember this isn't going to work in a dream. I notice now that my arms and head are vibrating, though I feel like I am awake and moving around. I am not really sure if this is even possible, so I relax and lay still, preparing for an OBE type exit. I spend a few seconds here and I begin to go deeper, but it's at this point that my wife sighs loudly, rolls over, and shakes me awake.
    3. A Really Fun Dream Journey/Dawn Became A Snake

      by , 11-09-2014 at 09:31 PM
      Dream 1

      I was playing with my parakeets that were outside their cage. Than went downstairs and was looking at a page computer that was supposedly mine. I saw lots of likes on a picture than started talking with my brother about it. While we talked a guy asked if he saw the anime that he was watching. The scene changed after he said that and I was now in a game with japanese talking anime characters. I was having a good time trying to speak with my begginer Japanese while playing the game. Than woke up.


      Dream 2

      I was non lucidly doing something when I realized it was a dream. Perhaps something creepy caught my attention.Anyways I was now in my house all alone and scared so I ran to a room downstairs than started calling for Dawn or Eye to come since i was afraid of being alone. Than I think thats when Dawn came to my room and hugged me. I was now happy but than he started doing something else that was a bit odd. He stopped quickly though and stayed for a bit making sure no bad DC came.

      But than he left and i could see a cartoony lady DC packing something. I found this random and i wanted Dawn to come back so i left the room and started calling for him. I than ended up inside an unfamiliar room and saw a phone sitting on a chair. I sat on the bed and was thinking of who to call...should I try calling Manei or should I call Dawn? I wanted to explore Manei a bit more so I called her instead.

      I always dial random numbers while focusing on the person and the name but I noticed after I pressed it the buttons had the letters Manei. I heard someone pick up and asked if this was Manei in a shy voice. She said yeah but than instead i got side tracked and asked if she could take me to Dawn. She said ok and than i suddenly began to be lifted in the air and was flying somewhere.

      I went around a few things that looked like giant items floating than went waaaaaaaay up into the sky. I was now in outerspace floating there for a bit than went around something and back down as if it was a fun telepathic ride. Soon I appeared in a room with many different DCs and started looking for Dawn in the wide random area I was in. But I couldn't find him.

      I ran into trouble when three ladys with guns were shooting at me from below. I got down and tried crawling but they could still spot me since the room had no walls. They were on the pavement and I was on a building floor. So I managed to get out but still couldn't tell who was or was not Dawn. I thought maybe I can focus on his presense from here, thought about it, than started flying.

      I felt it was working but than appeared on my bed all of a sudden. I tryed bending my hands and fingers to see if i was still asleep and I was. So I got up out of the bed and went to the living room where I started calling for either Manei or Dawn. I think one of them heard me and I was either being taken to or flown again to one of them. When I arrived at the place there was a guy who looked like my brother but way shorter than me.

      He and my family were there and a bunch of other people. As I was looking around in the somewhat narrow house i appeared on a chair and was watching a anime. It was supposedly Kodocha. But the parents got mad at Sana because she didn't want to keep her hamster in the box. They grounded her and she started crying.

      I was than pulled away by the short guy who looked like my brother and was surprised. My dream mind was sort of wonky so I said I remembered a time when the thing that happened in the show happened to me. Even though I never had a hamster. As me and the short guy were walking and looking around i started calling out to see if I could find anyone i knew in the dream. But the short guy told me " shhh "and to keep my voice down and not to.yell that this was a dream.

      I pondered why when he showed me to a little boy sitting on a computer. He looked really bored and was chewing a pack of Hubba Bubba gum. I assumed that maybe this DC was a real person and told him that this was a dream. He looked at me unsure and as if he couldn't trust me. But than he said he was going to see if it was or not. I than looked at the Hubba Bubba he had which was pink and looked at the one i now had which was blue.

      " You want two of mine?' I asked wanting to trade. He said no though because he didn't like the blue flavor. I was like "Whaaat!? How do you not like blue!? " He said he didn't like blue snow cones either. I noticed I got off focus and told him to see for himself it was a dream. It looked as if he was sniffing the computer though. I was like " is that how you do a reality check!?Just move your hands like this and see if you feel any pain"

      I showed him how it didn't hurt when i was snapping my fingers. He tried it but he said it sort of hurt. Than the short guy said it wouldn't work cause it would hurt his waking self if he is a sleep walker. He took my hand than led me away from him and covered my mouth so that nobody would take attention to us. I asked if he was Dawn or Eye in disguise and he did something only Dawn would do.

      Than distracted me by wiping my pants with his hands and saying my pants were covered in meat sauce. I than saw my family packing food for a trip. I took some food with Dawn but suddenly the scene changed and there were chibi anime characters that looked like they were from Doraemon. One of the guys lost their pants and they had to carry on their journey. Than i woke up.


      Dream 3

      I was non lucid talking with a few people about something food related. I recall after that I slid down something and hit a red chair. When I got up and walked away I was shocked to find Dawn with my cousin. I thought he was paying more attention to her so I pulled him away. I asked him why he was paying more attention to her and he said he didn't mean to make me feel badDawn than turned into a snake and wrapped himself around me like he was warming me up or hugging me.

      I was still kind of annoyed and noticed he was starting to wipe my eyes and pet me with his tail. I took the yellow towel near me and blew into it. I than told him if he wanted to go to my cousin he could just go cause I was really ugly with my sick dream self.He Said he wasn't appalled by me though and took me to a hall. I saw my family DCs blending something healthy for me and Dawn ran off somewhere. I also heard some DC saying he came back from the past which was funny. But than the scene changed and i was watching mr potato head exit a western bar or something in the west. Than i woke up.

      #378 - DEILD - 4:54AM (1 of 2)

      I am at work and I use my laptop on the production floor. It keep playing video loudly and I have to click them away. Break time comes and I kick back in the break room to try to WILD. I feel floaty and strange like usual this brings my awareness back and I wake slightly.

      I realize that I failed my WILD so I go into DEILD mode. I have general SP issues and trouble getting out of it. Eventually I roll over and have some kinky sexy time with the wife just get the dream going. It wasn't really a sex dream but it was fun. After a minute or two of that I get up and turn to the door. My wife says, "Ok. You go have your lucid dream now." I smile not looking back and walk out of the bedroom.

      As I try to make it to the front door the room stretches making it farther away. I feel immobile and have some trouble seeing. My physical eyes open but I close them right away and DEILD.

      I imagine being at the front door feeling the floor with my hands. I am surprised that I can feel something right away. I expect to feel the hardwood but it feels something like groutless tile; the kind at the grocery store that gets waxed. I notice some gritty feel like dirt.

      My vision returns and I see the door mat that we keep inside. I smile and stand up quickly reaching for the door knob. The basic TOTM is on my mind and when I step outside I look for a pile of leaves. There are two bushes on each side of the porch steps in waking life but here in the dream one of them is the pile of leaves I am looking for. I walk to the edge of the concrete and turn around. I put my hands out and fall back into the leaves. I hear a loud, dry leaf sound... CHISSHSH. As the leaves disperse, I feel and see a dry dead bush appear. I land softly and slide on my back several feet as I hear something like the sound of a buzzing bee hive.. BUZZZZZZZZ. I recognize this sound from one of my son's toys as I wake up.

    5. A lesson in why to do reality checks and why to DJ right after a dream

      by , 11-09-2014 at 08:06 PM
      non-dream dream lucid

      Once again, I was awake to some insane time. Went to sleep around 5 in the morning.

      I am in some yellowish transparent tunnel. I walk through for a bit until I somehow teleport to my sister's kitchen.
      I look around, and the kitchen is a bit larger than waking life.
      There's carpet on the floor and a sink next to the fridge (fridge is on the back wall in waking life).

      All of a sudden I
      become lucid. I increase awareness, and it feels like real life. I look into the living room, and the carpet is gray, and it looks like a DC is watching TV? The window curtains are closed but you can tell its day out.

      I walk into the living room and all of a sudden I'm walking a dog on a leash in a park of some kind. It's day out, and there's a few trees around but for the most part it's clear.
      I'm walking on a road, with some kind of ditch running along side it.

      All of a sudden I see a bunch of cats in the ditch.
      They're all playing with each other.
      I kind of
      lose lucidity at this point, but I still have a bit of awareness.
      I look at the cats and it seems most of them are white.
      There's a few kittens around here as well.

      I then see dog shit on the path.


      This is all I can remember.
      I recall other images, too fleeting to actually integrate with the plot.
      I recall becoming lucid another time but can't remember it.
      I also seem to remember something to do with SNES games.

      I would like to note that when I had woken up from the dream, I remembered all this much more coherently, but if you could get me out of bet at that moment to DJ it I'd be impressed.

      despite all that, this is the most immersive dream I've had a loooooong time.

      I might edit this post later if I remember something new.

    6. Chess, Vegas and Role-playing

      by , 11-09-2014 at 05:01 PM (Percy's Void of Thoughts)

      Chess, Vegas and Role-playing (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was in a park and I was playing a very odd game of chess. It was like checkers, but the checkers had different shapes and drawings, but it was played different than chess. I was with two friends, chatting with one of them while the other one was finishing playing a game of what I believe it was Magic the Gathering:







      The other friend was going to play a game of chess with someone else. I did felt like playing chess and I wish I knew he liked chess. A young made up friend came up, who was going to play a role playing game with me. He was going to be the GameMaster and I was filling up the stats of an elf that I was going to use as my character. I was rolling dice to add my stats, etc. I was now at a hotel in Vegas and waiting for him.

      There was a lady who was fliting with me and we kind of connected, but then, after a while she was interested in someone else, apparently an old boyfriend.

      I was walking around because it was sunny and warm. I saw several hotels around me with some pools. Some of the hotels had portable pools. I was going with this guy now, who I was going to play the roleplaying game. He told me that (while he pointed at a pool) that was portable. But it did not look portable to me.

      We went to a room and I was waiting for someone else, so more people could play. The box said that a solo player coudl help, but I personally found that to be boring. Suddenly, the room's phone rang and a recorded message started to play, saying the name of my wife and talking about pressing 6 if she accepted the loan. I wondered what was going on.

      I saw again the lady that flirted with me. There were some portuguese guys and they were laughing because this lady was complaining about the bread.

      Teaching sex classes (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was having sex with someone in a pretty amazing way. Once we were done, she said she needed me to share my knowledge to many men and women out there.

      I was taking to some sort of intergalactic pub, like that one from Star Wars:







      There were many people and aliens having sex. Among same sex, different sex and same/different races. I had to female human students and they wanted to have a personal class each. Apparently, all my students were very happy and my dad who was visiting, was very proud.

      Major solar flares (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was in some sort of observatory and I felt a few earthquakes. They were very mild but I still wondered what was going on. I then saw a giant screen that was in black and white. The sun was growing bigger and it was approaching to earth.







      There were several magnetic disturbances and I felt the Earth was going to be swallowed by the sun. I was somehow excited... time for ascension.

    9. Recurring Lucid Anxiety Dreams

      by , 11-09-2014 at 02:56 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I recall being in a cycle last night. With every sleep cycle I had a cookie-cutter anxiety dream, and in all of them I became partially lucid and changed the dream scenario in order to stop the dream from creating any stress.

      I recall one having to do with me having to write an essay. I manifested one in my hand before slipping back into nonlucidity.

      Another had to do with me being late for a class. While lucid I gave myself two extra hours.

      Yet another had to do with a violent storm fast-approaching my house.
      I think I redirected it.

      There was one having to do with D. He was for some reason sleeping on an air mattress in the middle of our room. My parents were involved somehow, and no lucidity in this one.

      The final dream was blurry. I remember I was trying to get these long metal rods out from under my bed. I know I became lucid here, but I can't remember what the heck was going on.

      Not counting any of these as lucids though because recall was so bad.
    10. Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold

      by , 11-09-2014 at 11:51 AM
      Just the one non lucid.

      Im driving in my car. I suddenly need to go to the toilet. I'm in the country but I find a sort of hotel complex place. Lots of wee buildings that look like toilets bt aren't. Theres a main building which I approach. I have trouble finding a way in. I pass two lassie and get to the toilet. A very tall and stout English man steps out. He says 'I hope you have more luck than me' I go into the cubicle. The lock consists of a big metal bar that you push across. However, its broken! I open the door. The man is still there. I say 'If you keep an eye out for me , I'll do the same for you!' He says 'Wow, you'd do that for me!'

      That's it!

    11. Three fragments

      by , 11-09-2014 at 04:49 AM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      1.
      I’m in a house, where a guy offers me a pill. I take it like I was expecting it and go lay on a bed next to a sleeping woman. I’m woken up by him shouting at me from the other room, asking me if I could come there. There was something about ‘3 ounces’, maybe a thought I had as I was waking up. I’m pretty groggy.

      Mom is at the door, very concerned/frazzled because she couldn’t find me. She goes on about how much danger I could have been in.

      2.
      Something about Wynne from Dragon Age: Origins.

      3.
      Rane ‘orders’ me a baby and two other people?? Picking them up at the drive-through? I wonder if ‘they’ will get long, might have been thinking about cats. I realize this is not what I want at all, and ask to cancel the order.

      When you order someone, you automatically get a twitter name with their username being their name plus a four digit number.

      Jump.

      Sitting at a dinner table, perspective is front to back, I was sitting at the front.

      Gap.

      At the store looking at the shelves. There’s a decoration you hang on the wall with two cats, their tails are entwined and if you pull down on it, a light comes on.

      There are comics on the table and shelves now and I get excited. I remember seeing X-Men.

      -Something about signing a doctor’s form.

    12. Abandon Town OST + DA + (2)DILDS

      by , 11-09-2014 at 04:36 AM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I was in 3rd person point of view and found myself in a abandon town, with a group of people I do not recognize. We were all doing parkour and apparently no one could talk including myself. I decided to go on my own and ran up the stairs in till I reach the highest building. That is when I jump and did one side flip while waiting to land on the ground. The group began jumping further down to a underground factory, so I decided to follow. However as I attempt to do another side flip down my foot hit the pole and I fell all the way down. I was surprise I didn't twist my leg. I got up and tried to do a back flip toward the ladder that was hanging. But when my hand made contact with it. I began to get electrocuted and push back by this white spark. After that I heard the other group members and an explosion. I also then realize I was bleeding, my leg was injured as well. I was cripple which made walking difficult. Things started to look a lot like fall out 3. I was then done with parkour and ran up the stairs to find out why the sounds were like the building was falling apart. When I finish running up all the stairs, I notice one of the members was getting electrocuted by the wires hanging from the ceiling. Other members were running toward my direction, so I also jump over the pole to get away. But as I kept falling I realize the fall was too high and then like the game fall out 3. The screen showed him died by shattering both of his legs in the video game. This made me lucid, I also found myself in a light blue tunnel. However that is when I lost lucidity when a FA occurs.

      While the dream was taking a longer time to emerge. I was in a pitch black environment and could feel something on top of me. Once that happen I realize I was dreaming again and was expecting for an FA to occur. That is when I heard the loud pulsing as I try to force whatever was on me to the ground. That is when the dream fully emerge and I could fully see. However the transition to the dream made me non lucid again. I analyze what was on me during the transition and found a purple toy stuff animal. After that I found a pair of shorts I do not recall having. While then proceeding to enter the bathroom to try on a pair of shorts. I open the door and woke up. Lucidity Time: 23 seconds.

    13. 11/8/14 WILD Attempt DILD + DEILD, On a Trip Again

      by , 11-09-2014 at 03:17 AM
      I was motivated to dictate my DJ this morning so I might as well dump the full length version in here.

      "This is something where you vote too wide to (the) area...something where you vote too wide to change." Dialogue plays in my head after I awake...after I start playing the dream through my recall...but I am almost positive this was something my still semi-dreaming creative mind came up with after awakening... Not unlike how my mind sometimes goes off on tangents daydreaming about how one thing could lead to another which used to sometimes go pretty far down some tangent. This could happen then this...then this. Anyway I was outside a home. I am waiting for some reason and I hear a good deal of noise that seemed to come from inside of the house as if something was knocked down in there. At some point I see that the door is cracked and can see a smaller SUV parked or crashed near the edge of a pool perhaps in the back yard but almost seemed as if it was inside the house...can't remember but don't remember becoming lucid at all. A woman arrives....is that your (SUV)? Did you see that the door is open? I ask. She wants to go in...I'm not so sure. Others arrive including my wife. Something is fishy about the people who invited us here (day residue from b's mlm attempts?). Someone shows me a picture of one of the guys who is hosting this and he is part of the leadership of this cult? Organization? The picture looked like it was taken from a stone tablet not unlike a grave memorial where you can include a picture but there where other pictures next to him of the other leaders? As I am looking at the picture on her phone, the guy in the picture walks by. I motion to my wife that I need to ask her something and I step back outside and tell her we should just leave...these people are weird (at the very least they are trying to recruit us) she argues we should stay until the end of presentation(?) and then leave. Why? (Wake) This is where I think that continued dialogue posted at the beginning fits. To bed after 12. Wbtb ~615.

      Longish LD chain. I'm trying to WILD and I get to different sensations of my body shutting down and me falling asleep and at some point I feel like I am completely asleep but in an utter void. I decide to try my eye clench thing and I get heavy vibrations and I start propelling myself I imagine far far into space. It is actually quite a fun feeling with almost no visuals and I stopped at some point and imagine that space may be nice and cold way out here. I decide to continue some more further before I seem to arrive back at bed with some slight sounds of my wife snoring, I assume an actual awakening. I hold on for a DEILD and find myself in a bedroom, it is supposed to be our bedroom but different and the TV is on and I think about all of the fun things I could do in this dream even with my wife. On TV is playing perhaps Cinemax but it seems to show a little more pubic hair on the woman than they normally do. This reminds me that I'm still dreaming. I feel a little bit lazy and just decided to lay there and observe the TV and try to figure out who the two actors are so that I can remember when I wake up. The woman maybe looked most like Renee Zellweger and the guy was definitely no one I could remember having seen before. He had brown hair and a bit of an boyish face despite stubble but with a hint of mischievous look. The blonde woman I remember trying to remember what her name was so that I could record it in my DJ when I wake up. At some point the dream seems to be fading but I hold on and my body seems to move with the transition and I just relax and enjoy it. My dream body that is. I eventually really feel myself floating down towards the floor and get a view of Hotel like carpet, very short. I decide this is a great time to push off the floor and get up and explore. I walk towards the front door and before going out of the hotel room in the middle of the night I think to reality check one more time and I remember rubbing my hands and putting my fingers into my palm but not really giving it an honest try so I decided to hold my hands up against the door and I definitely have extra fingers. I open the door and find a fairly dark hall and start making my way through the halls...there are quite a few switchbacks in the halls and I think about how I never seem to experience scary situations in my lucid dreams but then I squash that thought lest it leads to a scary lucid...though I have a lot of confidence and almost no worry figuring that I can do whatever I want if something scary does come up. I think to summon girl friday in the dark halls and tell myself she will be around the next corner but these halls are pretty much devoid of anything but I keep trying at each turn and each hidden corner I tell myself that #girlFriday will be there. It still does not work and I get a sharp feeling as if something has trapped my right foot or is squeezing my right foot and I try to think of a good scenario that would include that feeling to turn it around into something positive. I think that I was starting to return to my body and I was probably feeling some uncomfortableness in my heel like I often do and that is what created that feeling and I did wake up. Counting 2 LD's for the 3 separate experiences but assume only 1 actual awakening in here. 228 & 229

      We are on a trip somewhere and it seemed like we borrowed someone's home that we met only once. I drove very fast over a field of ice plants worrying a litte too late that I might damage something on the underside of the car but I think it is a rental car. I finally came out onto a dirt road took it down to the main road and was trying to figure out my way back to the house that we were borrowing. I made my way to the entrance of the town and it had a very cool statue that I was observing and had some moving parts. It was talking about being historical. It seemed to have some kind of mystical or fantasy tie-in. As I'm looking at it I see an advertisement for "Six Flags something something" maybe great adventure and it seems like we have quite a bit of time left on our trip and I think that my son would like to check that out and I would love to check it out and maybe they have some historical displays like at Six Flags Over Texas. I try to take some pictures and actually do but I have a hard time figuring out if I should take it landscape or portrait to get both the cool statue and the Six Flags display and the moment into the picture. I dig in my pockets looking for something and find one blank short key one short key and one long key...the latter two are cut already. I make my way into this indoor bowling alley type place where I guess I'm meeting up with my wife and son and it is very crowded. I see a security guard being mean to different people but he ignores me and I squeeze down past him down to this lower area squeezing in between maybe a vending machine. I find my wife and tell her something. Oh she said something about the mean security guard and some of the kids look like they're complaining about the security guard also. The security guard gets a phone call and it sounds like all of the sudden he is talking nice. By the way he is talking or maybe I can hear some of the conversation coming through earpiece I get the impression that the police are on the way to shut down this place due to complaints. So I told my wife to follow me towards the front of building and she and indicates that our son is upstairs sleeping. She starts to gather her stuff in the front closet and she has one big heavy bag and two other bags and wonder why she has so much. I agree to take the big heavy bag but then I tell her to wait in the closet while I go and get our son upstairs but I'm dragging this heavy bag with me and wake up before I make it all the way up the stairs thinking I should have left the bag back in the closet and just got it when I came back down. Just before this dream I remember being in a big room with lots of my wife's family and her cousin N is doing this funny joke where he will wake someone up taking video of them and he'll cut back later good video of something else and because they just woke up and disoriented he will be able to convince them that they did something silly while they were waking up. I wonder if he might have done it to me already and I may have said something about all the crazy things I do in my dreams. Interestingly I recently dreamed of an ice plant (as in an ice making factory) being nearby while on a trip and when logging it into my dream journal I thought of botanical ice plants and I get them in a subsequent dream!
