Dream 1

I’m in a store with Tami, I’m describing something to her but I’m also playing with a plant that has white fuzz on it. As I begin picking it off I realize it’s a cotton plant. The texture and colors look really cool.

She mentions something about the activity of playing with the plant either helps certain people describe what they’re saying better, or to help with listening - not sure which.


Dream 2

James and I have some sort of new hobby where we go into the woods and find tobacco type leaves and then make a fire and burn them in it. We seem to have been using a library to learn about this and we return to it to get some more information on techniques.

The library has massively high vaulted ceilings and it is a very large place with large marble pillars going up into the darkness. It’s sort of an eerie place.

An old astute woman pops up and begins asking us questions about what we’re looking for or what we’ve been up to. James, halfway up a ladder reaching for a book - looks at me and shakes his head as if we shouldn’t speak to the woman. He comes down and pulls me to the side and says we shouldn’t tell her anything, she wants to rip off our process (lol).

I kind of brush that off and fill the woman in on what we’re doing. She realized what James was worried about and then asks us kind of sarcastically “Oh, and where did you learn to do something like that?” - to which I respond “Here”

Glitchy Holodeck:

I'm sleeping on a couch at DR's house (where I actually am).
The room's lighting looks darker than usual.
I reflect that since I am sleeping somewhere relatively unfamiliar, maybe I will be more likely to become lucid from my body being more alert.
It occurs to me that I haven't done a RC for some time.
I plug my nose, breathe, and realize that I can breathe through it. I'm dreaming.
I hardly believe it at first, but I repeat a few times to confirm.
I have trouble getting up from the couch, feels like moving through thick mud, but I get to my feet.
I recall wanting to travel by pretending I am in the Holodeck from Star Trek.
"Computer, send me to the forest!" I say outloud.
Nothing happens. The dream fades.
I "wake-up" on the couch again, but I immediately do another nose RC to keep lucidity.
I repeat the same steps but have no success.
Eventually I wake up and the RC shows I am truly awake this time.

Push and Pull:

I'm pondering whether to ask SB to marry me, and I decide to just go for it.
...
I'm at an outdoor party. I've just asked SB to marry me.
She said yes and is very excited.
Even afterward I'm still wondering if I made the right decision.
...
Later I'm with my Grandma P.
I'm showing her a song that I think should be the first dance song.
There's a music video, with some men on a subway pushing art on a cart.

Fragment:

I'm doing PT in a large open gym area and I find a green band I used in a prior recovery.
I'm using a three-pound weight for some shoulder exercises and I feel embarrassed that this is all I can do now.
