non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP I need money, go to an ATM. It has a notice saying it is broken, but also has a bunch twenty euros bills sticking out, which I want to grab. I wonder if I'll be accused of stealing if it gets recorded on the ATM's camera, so I remove the notice and pretend I am trying to use the ATM, putting my card in and then I remove the money as I remove my card and hide the bills under the card, so it doesn't show on the video. Then other people passing by come to see if the machine is back to work, since they also need to use it and I explain it is not and that I was just trying it out. Then some bad looking guy comes by, asking if there was any money in it because he had been the last person using the machine and he suspected the machine may have spewed the money after he left. I say no, but he doesn't believe me, so he kidnaps me and I find myself arrested by some mafia guys. I try to escape and accidentally step into a room where the mob boss keeps a feline in a chain. It's his pet. Looks like a young leopard. My first instinct is to pet him but they warn me he'll attack. I watch the mob boss pet him. I later escape through the bathroom window. I am walking some fancy streets and recognize it is in Italy, maybe Rome. I myself am looking fancy. I reach a street full of tables from restaurants, with tourists eating. I fly over them and hear all kinds of comments of surprise from people. I am half-lucid and spot some roman ruins and decide to go sit on top of it watching the beautiful sunset. Then I fly over to some other ruins nearby and find the mob guy dead in there and the leopard on the lose. He already knows me, so he doesn't run away, but I wonder if he'll hurt me. I grab the chain that is laying on the floor and try to put in on his neck. He does attack me, but it feels like a big cat biting and scratching, not like a big feline who could rip my flesh. So I manage and I secure the chain and walk him around a bit. He submits to me and automatically allows me to pet him. The police arrives and bystanders start gathering. I ask the police what happens to the leopard and nobody knows or wants to deal with that responsibility, so they say I can keep him since he seems to like and obey me. I kinda like the idea but I wonder where I'll keep him because of all my cats and dogs at home.

Dream From Nov 25 '21: It is day. Am with a large group of folks. We are playing a game of cricket. One of the guys gets out, so i have to go out and play my particular innings. As i step out, an older woman (60 years plus), gives me my cricket bat. However, its floppy piece of wood, about one metre long, and about one centimetre thick. And, there is chicken wire attached to it. i lift it up so i can see it in front of me, up to, or just below shoulder level. Her name is on it. Her name is mrs g something. hmmm. As i walk out to the field, with back to screen, and walking at an angle to my left, to the pitch, i do a quick shadow bat. i have to hold the edging of the wood, which is rathe awkward, given the chicken wire attached to it. The wire looks like the large square of construction fencing. The gathering must be more than 20 people, maybe 50, maybe more. Then i stand at the crease, and face my left, being a left hand batsman. One ball is bowled to me and i miss it. It goes past me, rather quick, to my right. Or there is one person to my right, to distracts me slightly. Then a second delivery. Despite the bat being rather flimsy, i manage to hit the ball. It goes away from me, to my left, at a 70 degree angle. The folks in front of me, are blocking my view of where it went, and whether anyone caught the ball. One bloke, who is at the back of the folks, raises his hands. Thinking he has caught, i quickly approach him. All the folks move out of my way, to my right and left. i want to punch him, for claiming a catch, even though i couldn't see it, because those folks were in my line of sight. His facial reaction to me though, indicates he didn't catch the ball. He says to me, or points to behind himself, that the ball fell behind him. oh, ok, well, i won't punch him. Then i face a third ball. This time, a young boy is to my right. He distracts me, as a ball goes past me. The ball hits the stumps and i am out. However, i protest because the boy distracted me. So, i grab him by the back of the neck with my right hand and walk him away, straight. As we walk, i call him a twit, but then say to him, that i shouldn't call him a twit. Then, im about to face a 4th ball, when some of the other guys, and i, run over to a small brick building, ahead of me a bit to my right. Apparently the brick building is a toilet block with faucets and soap. We have to wash our hands, supposedly because of covid. As we run to the building, one of the boys or guys says that he won't touch the ground, or that he shouldn't, because of covid. grrr! Then, i face a 5th ball. i hit it to my right, and then chase after it, to get it back to the bowler, because no one else will chase it. As i run, i step over two silver coins. Dream ends. Any questions or comments?
