non-lucid

Heart attack patient
I'm in a hospital room with another guy and a doctor. They're both strangers. I found the guy somewhere having what seemed to be a heart attack and rushed him to the hospital. Now he's lying on the hospital bed motionless. The doctor is getting ready to use defibrillator paddles. I don't remember the whine, and I remember in-dream that I was surprised he didn't say "clear!" The guy sits up, flails, then falls back down, motionless. The doctor starts pushing rapidly on the guy's chest with the paddles, which I also find curious. After pushing a few times, he issues another shock. This time, after sitting up and flailing, the patient starts coughing and taking deep breaths.

Now I'm in a different room talking with someone about payment. It's going to be about six thousand dollars. I'm trying to get them to charge the guy's insurance, but they want me to pay out of pocket. For a moment I get distracted, wondering if my own insurance will handle it; then I realize again that it wasn't me they treated, it was the guy, so I just get up and leave.

Now It's the next day. I'm arriving under a drive-through awning in the van with my family. There are large glass doors leading into a large, well lit room. The guy from the day before is there, and it's a happy gathering. I don't remember why we're there, though.


Zombie combat
I'm in a large room; it looks like a disused storage room. I feel like we're underground; the floor and walls seem to be stone. Around the edges are shelving units filled with random junk. The ceiling is fairly low, with visible pipes running here and there. Pillars are scattered through the room, supporting the ceiling. The light is on the dim side. In the room with me are two guys - zombies, maybe, except they look normal - who have a grudge against me for capturing them years ago. Thanks to whatever they are, they have a supernatural speed and are trying to attack me. I'm not as fast as they are, but I'm skilled, and I have a slight advantage: I have a long pipe which I'm wielding with some skill, and any time it touches them, there's a sizzling sound and they recoil in obvious pain. I'm also wearing a watch that gives a similar effect, though if they're close enough for me to touch them with the watch, they're WAY too close. I manage to get a few hits with the pipe, but thanks to their agility they're able to dodge it most of the time. They never actually get close enough to hurt me (or for me to use the watch). Eventually, they call a truce, and we talk for a few minutes.

Now I'm in the van with my family, driving somewhere. I'm in the front passenger seat, and my wife is driving. There's something about the watch, a huge bag of nickels, and a small bag of quarters. The watch is made out of a cheap light blue plastic. Something is wrong with the wrist strap; I think one side popped out of the watch. I don't like it, and I certainly don't wear it on a regular basis, but I always keep it nearby just in case I need it. Now we've arrived somewhere. I'm getting quarters out of the bag. I need three, but I'm very tempted to get four - after all, what's one more? - but I refrain, knowing that that kind of "just a little more won't hurt" mindset is how people run out of money quickly.

Now I'm somewhere else in the same complex. It seems to have been cut out of a hard stone. The rooms are low, and this time they aren't very large. A man is showing weapons to a group of people, letting them fire them. He's explaining the differences between Hollywood weapons and real weapons. Finally, he pulls out a small axe, designed for throwing, and describes it as being very effective, which explains the warning label. I see the label now; something about staying away from kings' wars. At the end of the shooting range I see a mural depicting a battle with a lot of axe fighting going on. There are some captions bubbles spread through the mural.

Now I'm talking with someone about arcades and arcade machines. I explain that when they were popular, they were the only way to play video games. With the introduction of home gaming consoles, people no longer needed to go to arcades to play games, and with the introduction of the internet people could play games with other people from their own homes. I tell him about the arcade machine we had in the house where I lived during college, that the panel at the bottom was left unlocked so that, though you had to put a quarter into it to get the game to start, you could immediately get it back.


Fragments
I'm in a kitchen area, thinking about Indiana Jones and how old he was in the most recent movie.

I had my usual Friday with a lot of darts-throwing and jolliness - later somebody came along with a bottle of very fine whiskey - lets say, I found my bed around 3 or 4 in the morning.
I didn´t even seriously expect myself to do journalling - and I didn´t dictate anything.
Getting up - I thought I had exactly zip and zero recall.

But interestingly - I can drag something up now!
I sat down with eyes closed - and really probed into the void - checking on associations with my dream-signs.

What happened were pictures coming up - and with a lot of concentration and visualisation - small scenes to go with them, too.


First Fragment:

I am on the terrace of our old house - it has altogether 4 poles going up on the front - to support the front of the balcony.
All balcony-railing and these poles and also a lot of the space between them are entwined by climbing plants.
Much more than it used to be in real life - and instead of wild wine grapes - it was a plant with violet trumpet-blossoms - maybe 15 cm long.
I asked my grandmother, what it was - and she said, that every so and so many years - the wild wine would sprout these, and that one could eat them, and that they would be delicious.
For some reason I didn´t try one out - or I can´t remember it..


Second Fragment:

From the same dream, I think, but it was winter - and I was searching for the fir-tree, which had been planted for me the year I was born (irl).
But the house and garden were not there - and I checked some fir-trees around, and decided, mine was one, that was standing just outside a fence to another garden - towards the street.
And was maybe 6 m tall.
It could actually be that big, I guess, if it still existed.


Third Fragment:

From another dream - I was in an empty flat with big windows - in the company of that Swiss friend, I dreamt about the night before.
And we could see a high-rise-building from there - it had a core, and around it a glass front, through which we could watch the ongoings.
Between glass front and core was a ramp, which was not a staircase - it had some small rooms as well - but it clearly was the means to go up and down in the building.

Actually - very much like Sageous´ miniature with carousel - but without carousel and without so much colour - all chrome and glass and the people we watched were all in dark business-like attire.

The really weird thing is, that I did not look into his thread - see my sig - before last night.
I had thought about this thread last night but without clicking it.
Okay - I knew some of the miniatures before - and there are several, which could have given me that inspiration - but this one I mentioned, I didn´t see before.

Also weird, that I only now remember it - and not instantly, when I saw that sculpture.
This is the third fragment, that comes back to me..


What is memorable?

The above is curious - my subconsciousness going about it´s business in interesting ways.
But I am sure, it is my dream-fragment - not a false memory - my picture and the scene, I was in while looking at it, is very clear - also different to the sculpture in many respects.


And - I am really surprised, that anything showed up!
Posting on my DILD workbook shortly before had me empty!

I usually only write, what I have dictated - plus some details, I remember while re-listening.
This intensive probing into dream-memory works much better, than expected.
Again - very cool to have the comp - I was missing out on something, not hunting consciously after buried dream-content!

I'm in an English pub. Two guys I don't know are playing with a metal arm attached to a board. There's a spring, and when they press the arm it pops back to its original position. I realize it's a telegraph key. They're laughing at it and don't understand what it is. I look over to a nearby table to see Samuel Morse and a friend of his looking on with disappointment. Apparently the two men laughing were potential investors and they don't seem impressed. The four regroup at the table and I wander closer to hear what they're saying. Morse is trying to explain how he thinks it will revolutionize communications, but one of the investor men interrupts and asks why he didn't use a "single blast," presumably a dit, to be 0 to making calling long distance easier (never mind that this clearly predates the telephone). Morse sheepishly tries to explain that this isn't about telephony, and the investors snort derisively and walk away. Morse is dejected and his friend looks troubled. I sit down at their table and tell him that he's got to learn how to sell his idea. It's not inferior to telephony, it's superior to the Royal Mail. I launch into an example of shaving 3 weeks off of resupply requests to Africa, but I keep getting tripped up by not knowing if they have a king or queen at this point in history, or if they're using miles or kilometers.

Tonight I didn't wake up every time my alarm went off. I had about 4 dreams, and I remember 2 of them.

I didn't seem to commit totally to my DEILD attempts this night, I will try tomorrow night... However, at one point I did hallucinate a bit!! But I wasn't able to enter a dream.... Tonight is the night!! Let's hope..

I was on my way to work, I was driving in a car through the mountains, and it was a beautiful, already somewhat bright day, the complete opposite to my actual way to work. I got lost there but realized how far away from reality all this was, then I suddenly was in a building with a nice view of the mountains and did a nose-pinch RC, with success.
Out of a strong urge to fly I dashed forward, broke the glass of the window and spanned my wings, starting to glide immediately. The world then was filled with repeating patterns which I could control to some degree, but the dream faded fast.

The first fragment:
I remember being in some Physics class and the Professor was demonstrating some cool technology. He picked me as a begrudgingly, involuntary volunteer. He had me get in a metal basket, like the ones that are used in boom lift machines. He then started getting all crazy and he made the basket levitate. The basket started to fly all over the room and I didn't think this was weird or out of the ordinary at all, I thought it was great.

Next part I remember, the class all went to some big auditorium to watch a film. This girl that I had a huge crush on in first grade sat down next to me (she was my age now, not a little kid) and started hitting on me, talking about how sexy I am now and how she was a fool for not returning my affection. I told her, "Too bad girly, I'm not interested anymore", and I walked away from her. That's the last part I remember

The second fragment:
I was at my parents' house and I was a little bit younger, all the furniture was the same as it was back then. This girl that has had a big crush on me for a long time was hanging out at the house with me. I think she's pretty sexy too, but arr luv iz forbidden for reasons that I won't get into.

We were just hanging out when she kissed me, and so I did a RC to make sure it was real. But NOPE, it was just a dream, at least I became lucid though. So I started making out with her and we moved to the bed where things got hotter. We took off each others' clothes and I was terrified that her dad's DC would come and mess up the dream, I kind of fear him. I made my abs turn super hard and chiseled like a movie star's (partial transformation), and she slowly ran her hand down my chest and stomach. Then we did a little 69 and I ate her pussy (eating something? ). Then a window appeared in the wall and I froze as her dad appeared and said, "I Know what you're doing in there, especially the sexual stuff!.....but I don't care". Then he closed the wall-window and we continued until I woke up.

Last night was the first competition 16 night - and I wasn´t even aware of it..

I had two awakenings, where I had more dream-content than I dictated - but I was too lazy to do that.
Maybe if I had known..

But on the last two awakenings - without noting time - I tried to WILD with WBTB.
Didn´t work - yet..
At least it was good for something!

The dream, I have in it´s entirety:
It started with a FA in our old house - one of my most persistent dream-signs - it is ripped down - one time (maybe twice - once years ago?) this made me lucid - to realize it.

Not now - I got up in my old bed there being frustrated that my SSILD had "failed" - as in me not patient enough - and getting up.
No RC - could hit myself.

A Swiss friend of mine was there as a visitor - which in the dream came as a surprise (yes - again no RC ..).
I wasn´t sure, if I was pleased with this fact - not having known about it.

First of all I decided, that he had somebody to breakfast with - my mother and grandmother - and he was amusing himself - so I went in the basement, in my old room from childhood - not the room I had when we moved back there in my youth.
And suddenly it was not okay, that I wanted to WILD there - something had to be repaired, and it was my grandma´s room - but I had been lying down already - staying awake.

So I got up - yepp - no RC..
Don´t know, if the day held anything - it was afternoon then and first didn´t like, that I couldn´t go out with some friend´s I had planned on meeting - because of the visitor.
But I ended up happy with the night - me and him were at a theatre - a friend of mine was playing a role - the play was by his supposed favourite author - he doesn´t exist, I think - forgot the name.

They and she - were great.
The stage had boxes in room-size stacked four by five - and different scenes in them.
No - music, I think..

Later we were home and talked about the author of the play and her.
It was around midnight by then - so supposedly one whole day.
But there was no story for in between the cusps.


One fragment:
I was doing dishes for a friend at their place. The thought crossed my mind, that the sink was to a normal sink, what an outhouse was to a toilet.
The outflow-net was very big - and under it was a drop and autumn leaves - not any nasty, actually.
A water fountain - a clean basin - and a view.
Anyway - I had been given cherry-drops (??) for disinfection to use.
That was it.


Another one:
I was about to move from Berlin to Bavaria - on my way driving a lorry - and I got a bit lost on the roads.
Somehow I came to call my mother - and she started arguing, that I shouldn´t have decided to do the removals myself lala ..


I count three points:
WBTB, Fail: 1
1 Whole Dream: 1
2 Fragments: 1


Some conclusions and goals:
be able to recognize the most frequent of my dream-signs
always RC and dictate, when I wake up
be more confident in my WILD tries - if I get into FA - why not into lucidity next..
do more daytime work - decide, which


TOTM-Competition-Combinations:
"synch up" with imJD - put on it´s feet team Taurus with him

build a snowman from real snow, decorate and animate it (Object/DC Change)

ask a DC for a present and note the reaction - but before get the DC by Basic Summoning - round corner/behind something

at least start transforming into an Arctic wolf (Partial Transformation) to then maybe camouflage in the snow, sneak up on unsuspecting prey - and - rip it apart and eat it (start eating it seems okay..) - try tasting something.

Someone Calls Out on a Relative of Mine (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m inside a house that resembles the one I’m currently at, and there seems to be a guest having a conversation with some relatives of mine.

I was inside the kitchen near the sink overhearing the conversation, and it seemed one of my relatives gave a yes/no to the guest. He gave it in a condescending manner, at least that’s how the guest interpreted it as.

Then the guest that seems to look like a close friend of my relative seems to be getting more into being earnest with the relative and telling him how his tonality bothers him a bit. Then my relative persists with the yes/no question, and then the other relative that was a female started to point at the male relative and calls him out on his condescending tonality as well.

I ended up giggling silently in the background I believe while listening to their trivial argument. The guest was wearing a milky and light violet dress shirt tucked into dark colored dress pants.

The female relative was wearing an orange shirt along with gray sweat pants as well. How she responded and how the male relative seemed to be passive in her more aggressive response surprised me a bit. It felt as if the dream character male relative was a watered-down version of the waking life counterpart.

Machine Gun And Weird Kart Race (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m inside what seems to be a parking garage, and I’m attempting to escape from an automated machine gun mounted on a small vehicle. There were mostly white walls, a lot of construction machines in between with random stocks of mechanical parts.

I end up going through some ventilation systems in order to buy some time in figuring out alternative escape routes. I get out of the linear vent system and someone comes in riding a bigger Kart vehicle. They were operating the vehicle with the driver’s wheel on the right side.

They also looked like Cyborg from the Justice League, and he asks me if I wanted to get in.

I hesitated for a bit and saw the machine gun that seems to be after him as well trailing right behind his huge Go Kart vehicle.

I felt like it was already too late, but Cyborg backs up quickly to ram the machine gun operated vehicle. This prompts me to step into the left side of the vehicle and we managed to escape.

Then there’s a shift to where we’re part of some race against two Caucasian males who I felt operated the machine gun. We focused on trying to ram their vehicle, which we did when their Go Kart twirls off to the field.

I get out and used an item that’s probably a hammer and started slamming the person’s legs. I’m not sure if the individual had one leg or not, but whatever the case, I just had some kind of ideomotor effect going on to just destroy any ability for him to continue walking.

The partner of that person comes in and tells me to stop, and I ended up complying with him and decided to finish the race.


Yeah, no logic or script whatsoever, and I don’t know who won the race.

Shot Three Out of Four Women & Had Sex With the Alive One (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

One of the best dream titles I came up with so far

Spoiler for ...:

What Is Sarcasm?

I’m in another dark area, and the environment felt out of place for some reason. If I were to look down below, it would seem as if there’s a bottomless pit. The upper level consisted of black metal flooring bordered by handrails midair which for some reason bothered me a bit.

I seemed to have been running away from someone or something, or maybe trying to reach a certain destination. I wielded a silenced handgun, and here’s the part that starts getting even more confusing.

It felt like I was playing a video game, but I felt like I was in the dream body as well. It was as if I was simultaneously controlling two perspectives at once. As I’m going through the weird format of this area, there were about 4 Black elderly females that seem to have been running away from something.

Then I realized they were probably after me, and they kept pestering to me on how they would call the police. I don’t know why they would be saying something like that to me, and while they’re in the process of coming after me, I decided that I would have to kill them off.

So I aimed at the first one that was closest to me, and before I shot her, she stopped for a moment, and a skeletal version of her shows up for two seconds. Then she reverts back to her original form, and I shot her in the head, though I wonder if the gun I was holding just had tranquilizer darts of something.

Then I proceeded to do the same for two more females, and by that time the remaining one managed to slip right past me. For some weird reason, I decided to run after her, and the moment I touched her, she transforms into a younger and beautiful Black female.

Spoiler for I don’t understand how this happened…18+:

She’s naked and has her hands against the dark gray wall. She has her hair tied up with a pink or red knot material, and she’s turning her face in profile view looking at me.

She’s pretty much inviting me to have sex with her, and for some reason I felt I had some kind of time constraint. So I somehow set a timer for 90 seconds or maybe 2 minutes to have sex with her.

There was a HUD that shows up that gives me several sexual positions to do it with her, but I didn’t really pay much attention to it. It was implied as if I was having anal sex with her considering when the HUD shows up again, it had the option highlighted.

When I was having sex with her while the red timer showed up, I seemed to have transformed into a random Caucasian male that looked like a doll version of Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken.

You have some 'splaining to do with Barbie, Ken!

The only things I could recall feeling were the rhythm of my breathing and grunts along with the sensational humping. But nothing beyond that other than air humping 2.0 with implied friction and tightness.

I don’t know what happened after, I just presumed I used every single second I had left. I still can’t comprehend why I needed the timer in the first place. What could I possibly have to do after this that would make be limit myself to ease into being more aware of sexual sensations?

Holland Taylor Hires Squad to Hunt Me Down (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Things start out in a dark area where I’m trying to avoid a lady that looks like Holland Taylor (Evelyn) from Two and a Half Men. She manages to get some kind of squad of authorities to hunt me down because of unknown reasons.

Wait what?

Since this dream seemed to have streamed naturally with the one after it, it was probably because of the bag that I was holding in my hand. I end up having to use a Sparta method, if I’m using it correctly, where I had to find a small linear path and take them down one by one.

There was one huge guy that seemed to be a problem, and I had to sidle through the wall and let them pass through and had to use some kind of white cloth to strangle the guy. I don’t recall killing anyone though, so I guess whatever happened was edited out of my perception.

I managed to handle the rest of them, but I don’t know exactly how because things are still unclear.

I'm Smuggling for Tony Stark Enterprises (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

After going through the previous dream where I had to find a way to run away from the squad of authorities that the old lady sent after me, I seem to have shifted into a safer environment. It seems I’m inside of a building that’s very appealing and has a slightly futuristic vibe to it.

I realized the same bag that I was probably trying to conceal from the others is there with me. But I still had no clue what was inside the bag though. It was blue and had black edges around it with a long blue strap to hold.

I go into a light brown elevator and a security worker that’s a Black male comes inside with me. He’s wearing a dark blue jacket, light blue dress shirt, and a black dress pants, and most likely was wielding a black baton.

He asks me what was inside of the bag while the elevator was ascending, and I paused for a few seconds and eventually stated casually that there were just some clothes inside. He looks into random space diagonally left of me, and shifts his eyes in front of the elevator door.

Taking a second glace of the elevator’s interior, it mostly consisted of dark gold and brown colors. After a while, the elevator gets to the destination for the security guy to leave, and I get out as well. Then some individuals that seemed to be teenagers showed up to open the bag and explained what was inside.

These were parts to build an Ironman suit, and it led me to presume I was smuggling for Tony Stark.

LUCID
*While traveling in Paris, I thought could I be dreaming? I didn't a reality check and realized that yes I was! Then the I remembered a task I wanted to complete, calling a cab and taking a riding. I did actually call a cab but lucidity faded shortly after he arrived.


NON LUCID
*I to choose between my girlfriend and some other girl I just met. I told my girlfriend I choose you very happy about it. I told her this on the phone while walking outside of a random apartment complex.

Night 1 of Scionox's Competition#16. I actually planned ahead since my dream recall was fading earlier in the week and came up with a little game plan to re-focus on myself and LDing a little more. The night started off poorly with 2 short fragments and some insomnia around 4am.
Fragment 1: Me and someone helping others recall dreams.
Fragment 2: Company approves cat naps for corporate wellness program.
Fragment 3: Getting mad at my son for seemingly losing his keys and telling me that he knows where they are at like he left them somewhere while out but won't tell me where.

Full dream 1: I should note for anyone new reading this/via the competition that I don't feel that dream world adventures are unfaithful to WL partners. It's all a dream and you can do many things that you can't or wouldn't do in WL. Anyway, a normal dream becomes a DILD: I eventually got to sleep and I am playing a sport "one on one" (sport withheld for privacy)with K from WL and during one of my moves that was very exaggerated and with a surprising outcome I realize that I am dreaming. I decide to approach K all smooth-like and we begin to make out quite heavily. I have always thought she was cute but never thought of making a move on her for many reasons. After making out for a minute or so the dream unfortunately fades and I find myself back in bed and get up to go to the bathroom and return to bed and have a little more trouble getting back to sleep (not trying to WBTB-so not counting WBTB points, just trying to get to sleep). After tossing and turning for a while and some RCs to double check that I am indeed awake and not in a very realistic FA, I decide I might as well do a few of my shortened/combined SSILD cycles as that sometimes relaxes me and can create that small thread of awareness needed to WILD. This did not seem to take very long and something worked to drift me towards sleep. I got HHs of my wife cuddling up to my back like she often does in the morning before she gets up to get ready. She was also whining while kissing my upper-mid back and I decided, even if she really was I should treat it as HHs of a dream girl to keep my consciousness from returning to my sleeping body too strongly...nudging myself further into my dream body. It does get a little ticklish so I kind of push my back towards her a little and I think this was already my dream body moving because I started to get the vibrations Full Dream 2: (maybe ~6:45am) and then started to be able to see through my sleeping mask which moments before I sensed was firmly in place over my eyes. I could see my wife getting ready all nude but she looked a little different from behind and besides I do that all the time in WL so I decided to try change her into N's friend M. Her hair changed color and became wavy as well and her butt which I have never seen but it definitely changed to what I guess I imagine it would look like. I told myself she would turn around and complete the transformation. The rest I will put in spoiler wrap as it is more explicit:

Spoiler for explicit:

Her butt was not quite my ideal but very nice and womanly and smooth with a nice soft color to it. I imagine that when she turns around she will have largish areola on nicely formed breasts. She turns around and she does and her face looks quite a bit like I remember M looking (never seen her nude IWL). I then have her sit on the floor and spread her legs with her feet on the ground and her knees up laying back on her elbows and forearms.

I admire my mind's creation for a moment and then decide that I want to go on to some goals and go down the stairs and out the front door. I look up into the sky to pick out the moon and find it a little to the right of where I last saw it IWL and start flying very fast but my dream starts fading possibly half way there and I find myself back in bed. I RC and attempt to go back to sleep but I am too awake and I see I need to get up soon anyway and I can ask my wife about the whining and kissing my back. She said she might have been whining a little the night before attempting to get me to roll over but not that night, so definitely HH a little before dream entry (unless she forgot she did this IWL).

We were at this one place and he wanted to drive us back home. We got into this one car and he started driving. At first, it was normal driving. Then after a while, He started going crazy and hitting all kinds of stuff like cars, signs, trees, etc.
I told him to let me drive because he said that He's driving like that because he doesn't really wanna drive. So I drove and then It became GTA 5.
I was Franklin and I was driving in the water with a fertilized egg that's about to hatch in my pocket.
The police were onto me for some reason and they caught me.
I was about to be put in jail but luckily, The egg in my pocket hatched just in time to distract them and i got away. Soon I woke up.

I woke up at my old highschool and found out that I was still in school when I already graduated.
I knew that I graduated already and gained a little bit of Lucidity, but I was still unable to do anything.
I went to my first class which I forgot what it was. After that I went up stairs to my second class and saw only 4 people there. We decided that since there were not alot of people, we could just sit here and relax.
I stayed there for a while where it got kind of bored that we all started falling asleep. Even the teacher fell asleep. We were all like the teacher is asleep, we can do anything. the teacher then woke up and said oh no u don't. Then we got to do work which I forgot what it was. After that, I went down stairs for my English class.
Unfortunately, the classrooms were blocked off by huge rocks for some reason so she couldn't teach us that class period. Got lucky lol. Then I woke up.

I was with a couple of "friends" that I never had before. We were at my house which looked more like a cave than a house because it was made of rocks.
In the room where we hang out, there was this rock table where we would put 4 aluminum cans and a candle and we would light it for "cool" effects I guess.
After a while, the fire started spreading to all over the room. Everyone just got their blankets and left.
But my blanket was stuck under this huge rock that I couldn't lift no matter what. I stated panicking and somehow was able to lift up the huge rock and threw it away.
We got outside to see my house burning down and then I woke up.

I have had a whole bunch of baby related dreams in the last few weeks. I'll share a brief summary of the few that I remember.

1. I was taking care of a baby girl who was a few months old. I was stressed when I couldn't remember when I last fed her. To make it worse I wasn't even sure what to feed her.

2. I was helping take care of a friend's baby boy. He was tiny (only about 6 inches long) and could fit in my hand.

3. I was seriously considering adopting 3 little Navajo boys who were about 3-4 years old. Each would be coming from a different place, but the timing was such they would all be arriving together. I really wanted to do this, although the thought crossed my mind that I wouldn't be able to kayak as much.

Yesterday I went to sleep like 3.30 I think and programmed an alarm for like 7.30. I wanted to try a theory, when I woke up I was already dreaming, but I can't remember much, It was all kinda foggy and in sepia colors. I remember seeing my grandpa doing exercises. I woke up and kept sleeping. Late in the morning I woke up naturally several times, but I can't remember those dreams, only the last one. I was with a bunch of friends (and not so friends) from my school, I haven't seen most of them in a year or maybe more. This was a dream sign, but I didn't catch it. I remember someone was cooking. A LOT, I mean there was maybe 15 or 20 different dishes,all different. Then I felt something in my throat and couldn't swallow, I start coughing and then woke up. I was sleeping on my belly and had a lot of saliva in my pillow... Too bad I can't LD lately
