22nd January 2022 Fragment: WoW, playing with MV at one point. Something about doing duo raids and so on. Some weapon racks with axes? 23rd January 2022 Fragment: Some segment about being in a shop looking for a labcoat. Someone suggests one to me and I ask them to hold it out but I find that it doesn't really suit me and that it actually looks more like an undersized blouse. (gap) At a service station. 27th January 2022 Dream: I'm with H, we're going somewhere in a car. I think we've been at home but we're at a service station or something now. I think I need my wallet to get something to eat but I left it at home. Then, someone gets in our car after I've loaded some bags, including a bag like my laptop bag but bigger and red instead of black. The other person is a guy, a bit younger than either me or H. He wants to hang around with us and seems innocent enough. Something about finding a BL chest. (recall gap?) At some place like a school, before the guy appears. The place feels familiar. I go through some hidden and darker halls. At some point I need to wash my hands. I go through a creche and starting washing my hands there but stop when I remember there's a room next door with a normal (and not lower) sink. Some bit later. In a car with H at first. Driving up a road through or into a town. Other drivers are a bit erratic and swervy. Then eventually we're on foot. It smells like urine. We walk up to a dilapidated building. False memory of being here before. H or someone else unlocks the front door. We go in and up some stairs? Then H stays behind a little. I worry a bit and there are two hooded figures slowly moving towards him and I don't understand what he's looking at and feel worried and impatient for him to follow me. Not a dream, visualisation: I vaguely see my alter ego at some stone steps. He's climbing and turned towards the point of view, beckoning. There's a heavenly feel to the place. This all fades quickly. I see my alter ego with a rifle or similar sized gun, doing some kind of heist, presumably on a bank with a vault. I see this in a series of images showing different viewpoints with extreme perspective distortion, like they're CCTV footage and with few frames per second.
15th January 2022 Fragment: Something with Gandalf? Using some kind of shared mental projection technique that allows us to scout some place ahead. First, indoors, a place with white walls and vaulted ceilings (how big?). Blue-ish light, indirect sunlight-like. We walk, still as projections, outside. There's a mish mash of a castle and some house thing. It looks familiar and I'm sure I've seen it before, some awareness or perhaps false memory of having seen it in another dream. Then we knock at some door? A man, sort of fantasy-like and a little fat, answers the door. Something at some point about H's sister. (recall was weak) 17th January 2022 Fragment: Somewhat Victorian place or setting. Cobbled streets in a city. Several different characters. I'm naked and aroused at one point. Someone male interacting with me and trying to convince me of something. Later, a hearth and a fire in a house. I'm naked but under a duvet or something I wrap myself in. (recall was good, but lost it because of the radio; I vaguely recall this dream visually even now and it had a bit of a grungy feel to it) 18th January 2022 Scraps: Looking in recycling bags and seeing the wrong things in either of them. 21st January 2022 Fragment: At old home, daytime. Unusual setting, with implied state of anarchy or non-normality. There's some kind of animosity between white and black people. I have some hope that people will just get along. People have handguns and shotguns. At one point I'm in a flat, looking for stuff, and I have a stand-off with a teenager. (seen in a sort of isometric third person view) I also feel like I'm a teen. We both have handguns and shoot at each other once, I hit him and he misses me. He dies and I dislike the fact that it was necessary to shoot him at all, only firing in self defence, I feel. Later, some WoW bit with choosing a sub-faction even though I'm already Alliance.
Unfortunately, for one reason or another, I keep falling back on my backlog of dreams that I want to put up on this DJ. This is annoying me a bit so I better get back to catching up on myself. 2nd January 2022 Some in-line bracketed notes. Dream: I'm in a version of my current bedroom. The window is across the way from the bed, rather than being to a side. It's sunny and the curtains are open. There's a slightly portly man walking around the room, going on about what was discovered about pork meat, saying he should have known all along and that he was glad he didn't have too much of it in his life. I feel there's some irony considering his physical appearance. (at the time of this dream, I think I felt this had something to do with eating what I like while I can) (recall gap) Then, in a car outside with H. Again, sunny, clear and bright. We're talking? It's a busy place, in a cobbled street. Looks like certain areas in L. A scantily dressed woman waves at me with a smile from a third floor window. I wave back and say hi quietly, wondering why she was being so friendly, but further thinking that she probably just found me attractive. (not something I've ever thought about regarding someone looking at me) Other minor and random interactions in the scope of friendliness with other characters. Me and H talk a bit more. Then, I'm outside the car. I'm sort of standing at the midway point of a crossing that people are using. I'm still within talking distance of H and eventually we agree on something and I walk off. (much recall detail was lost, everything was fairly lively) (recall gap) Then, at a supermarket. I'm walking around trying to find something nice for us to have for lunch, even though some part of me remembers (false memory) making some sandwiches in buns. I end up finding a pastry aisle and I see some meat pasties which I'm interested in getting. I'm not sure where I should put them. I ask an attendant about bags or anything and she says "no, sorry" or something, and I realise that she doesn't actually speak much English. I walk back to the pastries area and eventually spot some paper bags cramped under something. Then, when I grab some they are actually cut out plastic bottles, though I don't realise this during the dream. I use two to find two meat pasties which are now in some slick plastic cases and stuff them in the bottles. While I'm walking about I see a load of people at an entrance door and then they're all looking around the aisle. I realise on some level they're students. (I woke up at some point and I remember falling asleep thinking about how I didn't realise I was dreaming with the previous night's dreams) 9th January 2022 Fragment: In old home kitchen. I grab off the counter some ten by ten printed canvas which is wrapped in heatshrink (clear?). On the canvas is a young man and a woman, they're sitting on a boat or something and there's water behind them. They're family somehow; my nephew/niece, but older? She's sitting and wearing a white dress and a broad white hat. She has golden loop earrings. He's standing and wearing something darker, black or navy. Everything in the painting is moving slightly, the waves are alive and the two are looking towards the point of view and smiling. (this dream was especially vivid in my mind at the time for a while and the idea of a canvas with moving imagery was very exciting at the time)
I had a dream earlier this morning where my mom's physical condition became progressively worse and it made me anxious about if it's even possible to live independently anymore. After I woke up, Aaron mentioned we could move to the Netherlands if push comes to shove but I'd miss my friends
+ [f] fiddling with electronic components that aren't working right + [f] inspecting a collection of small tapes (like DV video recorder tapes) that I know have the recording of many voice calls of me talking to Cam.Ed., they're I believe "sweet talk", I think listening to them will be annoying because I do not like the sound of my own voice on recordings + outside in nature with trees around, we arrive to dock/shore leave at a lake, while making the approach there is a view of a young woman on the left making repetitive movements (and digging in the ground?). Come to lake, walk out on dock, then with cousin PaRi standing on tall/large boulders amongst a bunch of such boulders in the lake, looking down in to the water, reminiscing with him about diving into the water. We're talking about how others don't use a good jumping/diving strategy (?). I think about (say?) how one dives and twists appropriately, thinking that if you don't jump far enough outwards that you'll lose skin off your chest as you scrape along the boulder. paint spots (red/green/blue) appear on ground in a pattern, I know this is part of a "native indian" ritual. Look up, there is a large group of them moving slowly on the opposite hillside (leading down into the water) from left to right (generally towards me). I look at them and they don't look particularly Indian, rather white instead, one of them is directly in front of me, stops and waits, and I move aside out of his way and he continues on. + walking outside daylight, straight road, heading to meeting(?), paths/nature to either side. There is "naked guy" who strips his clothes off & gets naked, and sits down to sun with his back against a rock/tree/wall, I know he always [fake memory] suns naked in this spot every day. I think how uncomfortable it is to have this naked guy around and within view. I see off the right a bit further on in the direction I'm walking, a man preparing a picnic/meeting spot for his sweetheart, but she is not there yet (she doesn't know how to find it?). He has a bottle of champagne and there is a tree stump or seat there, which I think they're going to use to take (racy?) pictures. Not much farther, off the path to the left, I see a young woman whom I know is the one with that man, she has also set up a meeting spot with a bottle of champagne -- they have miscommunicated and aren't able to make their connection with each other. A bit farther and I'm with (friends?) fishing. I'm casting a line out in to the water and reeling it in. As I'm (or someone?) is reeling it in, the single line multiples into 6-8 parallel lines all getting reeled in. Then someone else casts a fishing line to the right of these lines and I say "no, no, they'll get all tangled!" and I anticipate a mess of the lines getting tangled. Then I'm indoors and I am reading from a (prayer?) book, I'm supposed to be reading prayers? I'm thumbing through the book and I can't find the right page where I'm supposed to be. The prayers I see are all very long and I don't want to be reading those. I hear a multi-note tune and (am told?) know that this is the tune for the prayer that must be repeated over and over while singing the words. I need to be praying for some man?
