1. Iced Coffee (LD)
I'm in an outdoor area near a large concrete wall with an alcove area. I'm thinking of my previous dream and how I should have gotten lucid. I hope I still have enough time to get lucid for the night. I suddenly realize I'm dreaming! I fly up a bit to the top portion of a concrete ledge set into the alcove. I float back down onto the ground level and begin thinking about what I want to focus on. I remember that I wanted to focus on something simple, yet that will help play around with stabilizing as well as scoring points in competition. I imagine a hot cocoa on the ground behind me. It's not there when I turn around, so I head a bit further in the bright morning sun. The area is fully paved with cream colored concrete and extends far to the left, and has a small area hidden away behind a wall to my right. I imagine some cocoa would be there, and as I turn there's a small drink area. I begin searching for cups, yet only see lids. I imagine that I'll find a cup when I reach into the pile and one appears in my hand. I put it under one of the drink dispensers, and dark liquid starts coming out. I turn around and go to taste it, however it tastes like iced coffee - not bad actually. I continue to head forward and the scene transitions directly into an outdoor mall area. I see escalators in front of me heading to an upstairs area, yet there are stores on the lower level as well. A young female with light skin and long blonde hair quickly and eagerly approaches trying to flirt with me and show interest. My waking memory kicks in and I turn her down ignoring her, telling her I'm married. I continue to glide up the elevators and I'm soon on the upstairs level. I think back to several dream goals a consider which to pursue. I think of multiplying, but there's nothing in the immediate area. The girl continues to follow me throughout the whole scene, speaking loudly and trying to get my attention, begging me to interact with her. I keep simply ignoring her, telling myself mentally that it's not H, although it would be a good idea to find her in the dream. I move on to my next goal: finding my dream guide. I wonder how I'm going to approach this as I turn to my right to an opening in the wall, granting a view to the large room to my right with vaulted ceilings. There are many people inside, many of which appear to be dancing. I'm thinking about how I'm going to find my dream guide, and am getting ready to shout out for him or her. I begin to glide down, but as I reach the bottom, I wake up.

Summary of the Night

• BT: ~23:57, OOB: ~07:34, fitbit score: 80 (6:49 asleep, 0:54 awake, 1:19 deep, 1:41 REM), 200mg L-theanine, 510mg GABA, 50mg apigenin
• Wakings:
  
  1. 01:55 [fb] b/r, no recall
  2. 05:23 [fb], b/r, recall, Failed BTS. Got very relaxed. Several "involuntary breaths". Did MILD on recalled dreams, some relaxing SSILD. At this waking, need to immediately "surrender," "let go," and "pretend I'm asleep". No TYoDaS visualizations for now, too stimulating. Just need to get back to sleep ASAP. Lost my best dreaming cycle, although W2 was actually quite decent compared to recently. L-theanine + GABA may make for better
  3. 07:34 OOB

W2: Billiard [DS] Performance
Outdoors, dark/twilight, some wide open space. A performance troupe is putting on a life-sized replay of a world famous billiards match. The actors are encased in person-sized billiard ball costumes and roll around and can bounce off other "ball" actors. Most of the balls are red, I'm looking for other colors. I may see a white. The balls are not perfectly spherical, more egg shaped. There is a strange structure with something suspended from up high, an object (ball actor?) is "shot" suddenly upwards and there is a sharp THWACK or ringing bell sound when it hits what I imagine to be a (slate?) horizontal plate.

W2: Instrument Performance [DS]: Mozart Concerto
Several scenes with me unpacking and assembling my instrument. I can't find a place to put my case and to balance my inst. while doing this. I don't want to do this on the floor. I need to soak my mouthpiece. There are a couple additional players: both female. I hear them playing, one of them is reputed to be quite good, she sounds OK. I see the sheet music for the Mozart concerto?

W2: Mob Bicycle
There is a group of "mobsters" (?), and a very strange "bicycle" made out of a rectangle of metal tubes (about 2-inch diameter). It is large, about 1 meter high, and two meters long. It has a strange "gear shift" device about 2/3 of the way along the top bar that is like a horizontal combination lock of separately spinning wheels. There are no wheels that I see. I'm trying to get (my son S2?) to ride it. I'm pushing it down a hallway(?) it doesn't seem to roll very well. I'm twisting the "gear/lock" mechanism with both hands.

W2: Green Guys
Big group of people indoors. There is a long counter. A group of (four?) identical looking guys, short, wearing green shirts, approach the counter, and begin to sing(?). My son is watching with me(?)

W2: Problematic Audience
Inside a lecture hall, I'm standing at the stage/front. The hall is filled with wide tables, like in a convention auditorium. Everything is on one level. There are people seated all along these tables, there are about 5-6 rows of tables and the tables run the width of the room. There's a person seated every couple of feet. I'm thinking about the people there, I see their faces. They all look older/retired. One guy in particular, to the left and in the 2nd row, I think is a known trouble maker. He's looking at me. He has gray hair. He has a sort of mischievous expression. I know that he likes to ask the speaker very challenging questions, to try to throw the speaker off his rhythm.
