Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was something about dragons and there was interesting old-school video game music playing.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was using some 3D editor and was making some kind of a chasm or a cave.

Dream 3:

I was playing new XCOM against SilentEternity in multiplayer, it was an open forest like map in the night and i've apparently had group of mutons including elite and berserker. I've send berserker ahead and he immediately discovered two enemy mutons, they were both out of melee range. At the end of movement berserker moved by himself towards one of enemies, but was still not close enough. Strangely, attack option was still active, with 1% accuracy. I used and it did hit, with critical, and OHKO'd enemy muton.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was going through forest and on some road and there was a random car.

Dream 5(fragments):

I was browsing some dragon images and there was one image of black dragon that had some description.

Dream 6(fragments):

There were two dragons and one was telling some story to another and then they started talking about changing email or something.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some RPG game that was apparently somewhat MSPA/homestuck themed but with alot of new characters and some kind of 'mutants'. There were 9 members in the party and next dungeon looked like a tower.

Dream 2(fragments):

There was a snowball fight.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing doom with SilentEternity, we were playing deathmatch mode on a small level and it was castle-like, 9 connected rooms. Some rooms contained BFGs and keycards, semi-hidden, SilentEternity got to them first. Then we fought in one of the bigger areas, i had rocket launcher and actually managed to dodge all bfg shots and get 2 frags, then i accidentally shot rocket launcher while being too close, haha. Then fight continued in corridors.

Dream 4(fragments):

Was some story about characters with powers of some kind, it was snowing and an very powerful enemy appeared and started killing everyone, a few retreated into cafe where final fight started, main character apparently had control over snow and then everything started glitching.

*I don't all the details but I woke up with a lot of compassion for my dad.

*My step brothers had some strange seeds they were trying to bury for some reason. I said see this is difference between white and black people.

00:00 Tues 2013-10-22
~ 01:30 (?) bedtime
03:19
1) Getting out of bed turning on the air conditioning. The A/C is a big grand piano with multiple covers not a single cover. I have to open one of the multiple flaps to get the A/C working. Wife can’t get cool she’s not comfortable. I feel the coolness of the A/C air and say “see, it’s cold, the A/C is working.” I or she says “it must be a cultural thing.”

F1) Standing outside in a large area, a truck is approaching along a long road. Truck arrives and zips around in a wide open area, I try to catch it.

F2) Receiving a medal.

06:13
2) Staying in a cheap motel. Motel is typical rectangular upside-down-U-shaped structure built around a central parking lot on some street in some city, along a busy street full of strip-malls. I’m staying on the first floor in a room at the upper right “corner” of the upside-down U, right next to the manager’s office. There is a gate between the area outside my door and the parking lot. My room is shallow but extremely wide, easily 3-4 typical motel rooms wide. The room is full of my things, stacked all over the place, it’s like I’ve moved my entire home into this room. There’s a big bed. I’m running the A/C really high. The room is cold in the morning. I have a Playboy magazine on the table, I turn it facedown. I come outside and two guys come out of the manager’s office and approach me. Sort of Hispanic looking. We go into my room. They say “your A/C is on high it’s unbalancing the whole system, you can’t do that.” The owner of the motel is there, too. I’m shocked/outraged. I say “I’ve never in my entire life had anyone in a hotel tell me that I’m using too much A/C!” I then ask, “OK, then just what is the maximum allowed setting I’m allowed to use?” They don’t answer. We leave the room, go outside. I and one of the guys, a technician, head back into the room. He’s walking in front of me. We start jumping along the tops of progressively higher series of cement domes (mushroom shaped). We’re jumping on them like a side-scrolling video game. I’m making a sound effect of “hwip Hwip HWIP!” and “blblblblblbl-BEEP-BOOP!”, “huah Huah HUAH!” the guy copies me making these sounds, too. We reenter my room. The guy start digging through my magazines, turning them over face up and looking at the covers. I say “If you keep doing that you’re going to find an ‘interesting modern magazine.’”

F3) with high school friends.

06:19 17C in room, feels pretty cold. WILD attempt, alarm goes off in 1.5 hours from now.
07:28 took a long time to relax my mind for sleep while anticipating the WILD. Eventually did and started seeing dreamlets. Wife was snoring. Time to get up now, make breakfast for family, WBTB.
~ 09:00 BTB. On the couch. Another WILD attempt.
Dreamlets: people walking down a hill, a woman’s face, cars on a road. Felt close to making it in but didn’t. WILD attempt on back, ND came on left side. Eventually feel asleep into ND:

10:19
3) Lying on some grass (parents’ house backyard? DS) with older son (as a 9-year-old boy) next to a big air mattress with a towel on top of it. Someone has stuck a twig through the towel into the air mattress (to keep the towel in place?). As soon as I approach I see the twig. I knew what the result would be. I pulled out the twig and all the air came out of the mattress. (WL, last night, the plug popped out of my air mattress while I was lying on it positioning for BTB). Next to son are two little girls on my right. On my left are an unknown older woman and man (couple). I ask son, “did you do it?” He said “no.” I turned to girls, asked “did you do it?” They didn’t answer they just looked at me with big eyes. The woman on my left commented how I was improperly interrogating the kids, called me something like “nazi.” I turn to talk to the woman, I say “I have every right to learn who ruined this very expensive air mattress!”. Her husband next to her stands up in a confrontational manner. I also stand up and step up to him, I’m not going to let him intimidate me. I step back a bit deciding a fight is not worth it, and I repeat, “I have every right to know, it is very reasonable.” The man and woman walk away. .

4) How the story was written. A famous author is sitting triumphantly in a rocking chair on the top of a hill shouting out to the people below , “For the very first time in literature, the villain has made his appearance!” He is throwing rocks down the hill. I’m DO standing down the hill a little looking up at him. There is an emotional and triumphant finale presentation where the original actresses who acted a long time ago in the story appeared and was introduced. Each one had a special name. The first one was “Kea 2 Sea” and was wearing like a lunchbox-sized-and-shaped medallion on a chain around her neck, her name was inscribed on the front of the lunchbox inside a big heart. They all approached me to be recognized, I held up my foot straight out and they touched their lunchbox amulets to the bottom of my foot, and then they bowed to me. I was incredibly touched by this special moment. There were 4 or 5 of the actresses. There was an extra actor who was also there didn’t have a special name. He was there in case they needed another actor.

F4) passing something through a small window to people in a room.

(Don't let the title fool you. This is just another DF--I'm just tired of putting "DF" in my titles.)

MCL and DV are finding new ways to annoy me. On MCL my morale keeps going down even without me playing the game, and DV is doing something similar.

I fell asleep around 10 pm and woke up around 1 am due to dream I had.

DR 1:
I was in my house alone. Outside it was already a pitch-black dark. There were only a few lights in my house still turned on. I was in my bathroom. I was really nervous and was feeling really bad. I went outside my bathroom and turned off all lights except the one in the bathroom. As I was returning to the bathroom I had really heavy feeling and bad feeling. I returned to bathroom and closed myself in and was there for few minutes. Then I peeked out through the bathroom doors and accidentally turned of the light in the bathroom and now the whole house was in dark. I instantly rushed back in the bathroom and was swarmed with fear. I started to breathe heavily. I tried to light the bathroom with the screen of my mobile phone. After a few more minutes I again peeked out of the bathroom and when I pulled back in there was a horror. On the left of me there was a small black creature without a face. My hearth started to pound heavily and my breathing got heavier. My hearth was pounding so fast that it almost went out of my body. The creature started getting closer towards me and screaming. I was so scared I thought I would die. I started to yell from the bottom of my lungs. And then I fell over my back and got unconscious and then I woke up.

So this dream fragment took place in the woods (our family had gone camping this weekend). In the dream there was something about troubleshooting a mobile application that was malfunctioning, and one of the suggestions was that perhaps for a different family the signal should climb a different tree?

I was at school and was sitting there in class. It was weird though because we were playing video games.

I was climbing this mountain and finally reached the summit. At the top was this super purified water, which I supposed was the reason for my hike up the mountain. Then I randomly was in the middle of a race car track and got hit by a car! Next thing I knew there were paramedics carrying me away on a stretcher, and then I finally went back to school with a back brace.

Dream Fragment 1:
I see Fabrício Werdum(FW) and Junior Dos Santos(JDS) in a dressing room. FW is following JDS around the dressing room. FW is getting getting prepped for a fight and is getting his hands wrapped by a ref. The wrap looks like leather and all the way up to his forearm. There's a strap at the end of the wrap, so FW can grip onto it. FW thinks the ref tells his friends bullshit stories. Ref says he knows FW will complain about hand wrap if it isn't good enough.

Fabrício Werdum (MMA Fighter)

Junior Dos Santos (MMA Fighter)

Dream Fragment 2:
I'm at my old house in blacksland. I walk into the lounge room and see a cat with it's paws on top of a couch. There's bacon on the couch. I walk over to the cat and punch it in the neck :*(. I think it's a feral cat. After I punched it, it ran scared near the side of the TV and blinds. I feel bad for what I have done. I ask Kayley if what I did was stupid. She doesn't really know. I now see a cat like my auntie R's, in the same spot the feral cat was. I ask Kayley if I should make up with the cat and pat it, but she's still unsure. I think the cat is Lily

Note: I have to sit with a young brat on the bus. Last Friday she literally crawled on me, screaming, "I WAN'T PEPPERMINT! I WANT PEPPERMINT! GIVE ME PEPPERMINT!" the entire bus ride. Even after we told her that she could have not just one, but two if she would just settle down--nothing. Glah.

Dream: The girl is sitting beside me. She keeps saying, "Please give me [...]. Please give me [...]." I don't know what she wants.

A cop who'd reported various odd cases passes a strange, monstrous-looking guy driving in the other direction.

There's a car crash. This werewolf kid had been running along the road, with a couple guys from school following behind him in a car, shouting at him and trying to catch up. This happens a lot - usually the guys in the car give up, he can run a lot faster than they can drive; and usually when they give up one of them sends him some insulting text message instead. But this time, as he was running, he passed that monstrous-looking guy the cop saw, this is someone he knows and someone who shouldn't be in town; and although he's lost sight of the guys from school, there's no insulting text message this time. He's worried. He turns around and heads back, and finds the car that the guys from school were driving has been run off the road into a field, flipped upside down.

A witch, the werewolf kid's mother, walks up to the car. One of the boys who'd been driving it is dead. The other one's been transformed into a fox. She picks up the fox and talks to him a bit, and tells him she isn't going to restore him.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm setting dreams out on a stall in two rows, they're things that look like something between a bubble and a crystal ball. I call to this guy I recognize, I call them unregulated dreams, or unprocessed, unauthorized, some word like that - the point is there's some official approval process dreams are supposed to go through before they can be sold legally, and these ones haven't been through that process. I say to him that I know he wants them for his store. He says something positive but looks conflicted, and he looks over to Rumpelstiltskin, the guy who brought me here and helped me set up the stall.

mcdonald, glover and I were all doing some sort of work. we needed to go and get food and then come back in a timely manner. we were in a city of sorts. mcdonald said that we could go out to this restaurant that barry said was good by catching the train, and that it wasn't too far away. the name of the resteraunt was texas pete. i felt slightly worried because we were told to get back in a timely manner by an instructor of sorts. we were hanging around a train station and looking around when we decide that we are going to eat at a nearby place so it would be better for us. i felt relieved. then we decide that after we are done with class or whatever, we need to go out that night. i felt like i was just going to go along with it all but also that secretly i think it would have been better if we didn't. i didnt say anything though because i didn't want to seem unsociable. we ended up walking around this college/mall-like area for a while, and didnt end up going to class. i then faded and awoke.

I dreamed that I went camping with my mom. We gathered all the gear and were setting up the tent together. I remember thinking that everything would be a little different without my Dad there. Setting the tent up wasn't as easy, and the bedroom spaces seemed larger without him. It's the first time in a dream that I've really acknowledged that my dad is gone. It was in the back of my dream-self's mind that it was our first time camping without him.
In all the other dreams I've had so far, he was either alive or, at worst, dead but present.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1:

I was playing an rts with SilentEternity that looked like c&c generals. We were playing on some deserty level with hills against bots, one of which was using green color and gla faction. We were winning but bots were very stealthy, all of their units and buildings sometimes were becoming invisibele and they kept rebuilding main base building all over the map which was saving them from losing. Eventually level timer ran off and made enemies automatically visible all over the map and we finished them off.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some kind of RPG game about dragons, i was moving around various islands and there was huge dragon statue on one of them. Then i was chatting with someone which name started with W and ended with 3 on skype(Not an actual someone i know).

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing an tbs that looked alot like battle for wesnoth with with 3D movement of units, there were some units that were giant birds and some units that were dragons. I was scouting the map and then some voice asked "Will you wait?", i responded "Yes".

I dreamed that I took my nephew and niece swimming at our local swimming pool. When we arrived at the pool, I realised that I'd spent so long making sure that they had their gear, I'd forgotten my own costume. The lady at the pool suggested that I buy another, but they were all really expensive! My nephew and niece wanted to get on and get swimming, and I remember suggesting that they started without me, and I'd catch up once I had gone home and retrieved my costume (if I could remember where it was!).
I also remember feeling that I ought to be a grown up about it, and just sit at the side and watch, but I felt very childish and didn't want to do!

The other dream i had, I literally remember only that I was being chased by a terminator robot. He didn't look like the movie robot, but I knew it was a terminator.
