1. Music (LD)
There is a group of people in a second story area that is gathered to play music I'm in the lit up room watching them and I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. I turn around and see that back of the room, which resembles an attic type area. I look around the area, considering what I want to do in the dream, and realize I don't want to stay in this area. I head forward and to the left and decide to simply phase into the wall to teleport. I walk into the wall to my left and my vision goes black. I begin visualizing a snowy scene with some building on the periphery. I hold the visual for a while, yet nothing forms. I begin to just visualize snow. I stop intentionally visualizing, and suddenly I'm in a grassy area which resembles the field in The Meadow. I look forward and see The Dark Woods. I consider flying and exploring that area, but fly a bit to my left instead. I quickly descend into a thicket of brambles, and get caught in its snare. I keep trying to pry my way out, yet the brambles are holding me tightly. I figure it must be my waking body that I'm picking up on. I imagine myself turning into a Djinn and breaking free. I see my forearms come in front of me, and visualize them glowing with blue energy. There are faint wisps of the energy. I eventually grab a few of the parts that are sticking to me and pry myself free. I fly toward the front section of the field, and consider which direction to head in. The scene in front of me is very vivid, and light sunlight is streaming into the area. The fence to my right is still missing from my earlier non-lucid in which I moved it. The buildings in front of me, however are not the usual buildings. The one to the left is a massive, yet simple cathedral of sorts made out of wood - it appears to be quite aged and has a central spire. The building to my left is aged and made ouit of mood as well and has a creepy, haunted vibe to it. The small entryway to the left is glowing with a reddish orange hue emanating from a window. I decide not to go that tway. Behind the wooden cathedral is a dense forest, and I feel that would be an interesting area to explore I begin flying upward, however the dream is restricting me somewhat. I fight against the restriction, and see platforms above the second story offshoot of the cathedral. I slowly rise, yet wake up.

2. Djinn (LD)
I'm lucid as a dream begins to form in the blackness. I sense that a large window is in front of me, however I still feel as though I'm aware of my waking body and don't want to interrupt the lucid my moving too soon. I feel that I could lose the dream, but a burst of motivation to enter comes over me. I slowly begin moving my dream body, and a scene suddenly forms in bright vivid color. I'm in a large square room with many different cabinets in the periphery, several book shelves, and some items on top of the shelves against the wall. It appears to be a study of sorts, and much of the furniture is made of wood. It's a very pretty house overall. I make my way through this area into the next room to my right. The room is very narrow and rectangular with a window containing a view to the yard beyond. The wall is filled with a shallow bookshelf, with many items distributed on the surface. I make my way down the narrow room and exit through an opening into the yard. There is quite a bit of foliage beyond and several plants as well as a barbeque toward the edge of a concrete area. I chain link fence sits beyond this as well. I think of several dream goals, and remember conjuring ice. I turn my palm upward and imagine a large shard of ice. As I visualize, I see a very faint image, yet nothing materializes fully. I try hurling a fireball into the corner of the yard, yet nothing happens. I turn to my right and begin thinking about Djinn transformation. I take a few steps, yet the dream fades to darkness. In the void I imagine a thunderbolt coming down and my body growing, limbs beginning to grow in blue. The whole scene is very faint and I begin losing lucidity.

W2: Baby Decompression
DO indoors hospital treatment room. A baby has suffered a compressive neck injury, and is placed in a vertically seated decompression device. The baby is held in place and cannot move during the procedure. The baby seems happy at first. Then the decompression device begins to work, and stretches the baby to about 2x its normal height. The expression on the face of the baby moves to abject horror as it unexpectedly experiences excruciating pain. It is completely helpless to affect what is happening to him.

W2: Water Level
Tires

Outdoors, standing on some sort of boat (?) in a locks. I'm looking forwards, facing the side of the lock, and looking up. Along the edge there in a long line I see several rows (length-wise, one after the other) of old tires or buoys that look very rotten. They appear to have been under water for a long time, then the water level dropped, making them visible.

Bridge

My position on the locks has changed. I've moved to the end, on a bridge overlooking the whole thing.

Pool

I'm standing on the deck of a public swimming pool. This pool is in another state and so the laws are different and the water is a different color. It is not white, it is clear transparent. There is a staff member/lifeguard there talking about it (?). I think that in other pools, the water is blue.

Flower pot

There is a flower pot there on the pool deck. Something happens with it, there is a bet I make with someone else about it

Coins

I've paying out money for the debt about (the flower pot?). I'm counting out either 6 or 16 <foreign currency>, dropping the coins on the ground (?)

W2: Truck
I'm behind a (white?) pickup truck with vertical ladders on it mounted on its very back section, we're stopped at a stop light. There's a station wagon to the right of the truck, and a kid comes out of the wagon, it's the son(?) of the driver of the truck. The truck driver still has to work, but the son gets on to the ladder on the right back section of the truck. There is a band that moves vertically along the ladder, and as it reaches the boy and moves down over his face and body, it compresses his face and contorts it into strange shapes as it moves over his face. The the boy's mom is on the left ladder, and the movable band comes down over her face and her eyes bulge out in cartoon manner, and distorts as the band moves up and down over her face.

W2 Fragments
Doctor

Somebody (inside a a building? A parent or a doctor?) is saying that somebody else should be a doctor

Baby Dream

I'm telling about the Baby Decompression dream to somebody

W2/3: Communion
In a church the communion services is going on, there are people lining up, there is a table/altar/desk of drawers. I'm holding a card of some sort (with an image on it?), and I ask the priest (a woman) if this is OK to have with me, she says no. So I put it in a drawer of the table, then I take my place withe the others and (take communion?)

W2/3: Laundry Room
In a (basement?) area of a building, indoors, it's a laundry room. I see someone with a large laundry cart (looks like a plastic garbage can like the kind with a lid that can be rolled), and I think I want to get one of these to bring my laundry down to the room, too. There is a towel guy in the room (I talk to him?), I'm trying to find the elevator so that I can use it to get the laundry cart down to the room.

W4: Sidewalk
Outdoors/city/sidewalk/daylight I'm walking on a city sidewalk near the curb, there is a group of mixed kids of different ages and adults walking the other direction. As we meet they continue past me I'm walking in the middle of them and they're rubbing up against my arms as we pass each other.

W4: Cosmetics
Indoors, dark/twilight lighting, In a department store? There are sinks and mirrors and rows of cabinets. I'm thinking that a certain cosmetic brand has reduced its produce line for kids: now there is only one model of each product for each sex. I'm at a sink, trying out the soap.

W4: Mob meeting
Meeting at night in a deserted area of a city, near a large building with a covered parking area, with mobsters [DS? Appearing a lot recently]

W4: Contraband
Backpack

I'm forced to take a stash of contraband. I want to refuse it, it's very dangerous, but they're going to check (our backpacks?) that we actually took it. I'm trying to close the zipper on the main upper large section of my old orange Boy Scout backpack. The guys who packed it stuffed it too full. The left-side zipper is broken and won't close the compartment at first, but I run it backwards for a bit then forwards again, then it properly zips. I heft the backpack on my back to feel how heavy it is. I tighten the shoulder straps by pulling down on the adjustment straps on each side's shoulder strap. Then I think about putting on the hip belt, to help keep a portion of the weight off of my shoulders. It feels comfortable on my back.

Trying to ditch it

I'm taking out all the contraband and stuffing it into a garbage bag, preparing to ditch it or burn it somewhere. There are little microfilms that keep sticking to my hand and falling back to the ground. I have the thought "you don't want to get caught with this sort of contraband, they [the prisoners] will kill you in prison by very painful torture"
