non-lucid

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some video game in futuristic setting and something about missiles.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was at home and there was alot of talk going on about whether to go somewhere and then everyone decided to watch some video.

Thursday 10.10.13

last night bed 1am - 8am?

DR 1 - long dream, detailed. I'm involved in something. I'm in a town, at night. Something is going down and people are running away from a city square. I'm running too. Someone is with me. We turn into a dark alley with some fences and vegetation. As we are getting to the end of the alley, I can already tell that our escape car that we hid there is not there. The young woman in front of me exits to the street, hopes in a black cabrio and yells at me to hop in. I'm thinking "well, we already did something wrong, stealing a car is not gonna make a difference". So I hop in and off we go.

There is a fragment about me getting into a tiny, all metal car. Interior is all metal, even a seat. Inside it's very tiny and someone has to open the door for me to get in. Car is candy blue color.

DR 2 - detailed. I have just arrived to this place with some people. It looks like a gazebo, I feel a roof over our heads, but no walls. Maybe it's an extened roof of a nearby building. So we are sitting, sqatting down. We are suppose to have a lunch and I'm looking through a cooler.

Around us is a construction site. A long, maybe 5 story residential building is being built. The walls are grey concrete. Lots of workers busy doing things. I admire their work. I'm thinking maybe I would like to have a job like that.

I pick up a handful of soft concrete and I play with it. Then I throw it away, unfortunately to the nicely landscaped field of flowers. It lands on top of a short, red flower and I feel bad for doing that. I'm thinking what will the people who take care of the landscaping think.

DR 3 - I'm standing over a toilet. I think there is something stuck, but all I see is water. I throw a nice light blue colored hand soap in the bowl, thinking that that big piece will clear the obstruction. I can see the soap changing as it's melting on the edges. Then it falls in a water and in my minds eye I see the pipes it's falling through. It's like a waterslide in shape of wide steps. Now I'm like "damn, that was my soap, now I have no soap, and I liked that one".

Tues 2013-10-08 (city)
30 mins exercise morning
00:00 bedtime
fell asleep easily and quickly
04:14
F) motorcycle backing it up with folding my coat, doing some kind of check, checking the armpit
07:31
1) Driving fast in a car, fishtailing around big corners, I'm a passenger, we're chased by the cops. We arrive at the music camp, get out of the car and walk into the camp, the cops get out of the cars behind us and say "Hey guys, stop!". 3 or 4 FBI agents are trying to shock the story out of me. I turn around and see a cop pointing a gun at me in the music camp we arrived to. He almost shoots me. I turn and see a gun pointed right at my forehead almost point blank range (I see a bullet in the chamber, copper colored), and I shout "Hey!". This startles the cop who quickly points his gun down to the ground and "pop!" fires it as if he couldn't stop the reaction of pulling the trigger but he could move the aim. They're trying to shock me into confessing, I said yes I was in the car but the other guy was driving, but I was totally against what the driver was doing. Now I'm totally outraged that they almost killed me and said something like there's no way I have to cooperate now.

2) Scene in a home, my home, sitting on a laptop in living room of CU home, I'm sitting in a chair but it's way too low below the table, then I get in another chair, with arms and a cushion on the seat and this is a really comfortable chair. I'm at the right height, doing something with the laptop. Going around the house, there's another room that is like an office in a hidden place behind a door which I always wondered where that place led to. It's a private office. Going on on to the street down the driveway, a guy approaches wanting to show me something. I realize there's a neighborhood procession/walk going on. I imagine a car driving in the road, you're not allowed to pass the car that's going to make a right turn from the left lane.

3) A movie opening scene where a woman is remembering the past. I recognize the background as a stripmall near where I live. Woman meets two friends and they remember the past. I'm DO. Backdrop is stores like Taco Bell, she's sitting under a canopy / small dome lined with flowering vines. She sits there. I'm amazed that I recognize the scene.

4) Murder mystery. Sitting down in an indoor atrium at a table with a beautiful blonde woman. We're talking. I'm amazed that there's a Sichaun hot Chinese food restaurant in the atrium to my right. It has a glass front wall, can see inside. (I think the lettering actually read "Sihuan".) There's an insignia like a trident in gold on the glass. I think this symbol means spicy. I'm looking inside to see if it's open. There are people inside. Suddenly we only have one chair and she's standing, and I bring the woman to sit on my lap. We start making out. She's asking "what are the things that you like to do?" I don't want to tell her about my technical profession for fear of turning her off., she'll think I'm a geek. I'm trying to think of something clever to say to avoid this, so I tell her "I like kissing you." Scene changes. The woman was wearing a neurotoxin on her lips. My orientation switches back and forth between being the target of the murder and being a side observer. Some other of the woman's partners-in-crime are cleaning up the murder scene. They're trying to decide what to leave and what to take away. There's a plate with a single long unfinished noodle on it amid a watery bright red sauce. They leave the plate on the ground. I think of going somewhere, "Oh no," the police say, "you're not going anywhere. There's a long room (like a hotel conference room, with a long table covered by a white tablecloth) with two dead bodies on the table. The room is filled with police. They're working there trying to solve the mystery. I enter the boys locker room. I'm trying to find medication to counter the effects of the neurotoxin on the kiss. I pass by a bunch of boys at their lockers and I find my locker. There are some medical supplies inside. I take one bottle with me. There's a guard at the door. I ask him if I have what I need to get rid of the neurotoxin. He gives some advice.

5) I've arrived to a parking lot on a hill slanting down. It's snowy and slippery. My van slips and starts tumbling down the lot, turning over repeatedly. At one point it rolls over another car and I hope it won't stops in a position where it's not upright, how the hell am I going to get it upright again? I'm very upset about this, "what am I going to do?" It eventually stops, I grab a multi-gallon plastic fuel container from the passenger side window, and I can't figure out if the container holds urine or gasoline. I'm trying to smell it and can't figure it out.

6) Scene in a courtoom. The jury is made up of immensely fat women, who are bored. In perfect unison, they (4-6 of them) stand up and turn around and sit back down again, turning their backs on the courtroom. The judge instructs them not to do this so their bodies don't get tired: ergonomics. Then in a few seconds they in perfect unision stand up turn around, and sit down, facing forwards to the court again.

10:06
7) Watching something with former boss, I ask him if he's taken his school initiation yet. Watching a racquetball game (DS). Two girls are playing, they don't know the rules. The serve goes long but they keep playing the point.

8) riding a bicycle down SNR street (steep street). The street is filled with sand. I'm cooly pushing out the back wheel of the bike perpendicular to the hill (DS), and adjusting the front wheel pointing down the hill, sliding down in this manner. I go up again behind a guy on a horse.

10:11 Getting up. Some long back-to-sleeps. Could sleep more. Nice recall today! Late morning clearly a sweet spot for recall.

House cleaning
I'm in bed in a living room. My wife is still asleep. I realize there are shreds of paper towel all over the room and start to clean them up so she doesn't have to. Now I'm still in the same room, but the bed is gone. It's still dark, so I want to turn the lights on, but they're not working. I try a couple of different switches, thinking that maybe the outlet is controlled by one of them, and that's why the Insteon module isn't working.

Now the lights are on. On the floor near the middle of the long wall, there's a gigantic toy chest with a stack of toys all around it. I start cleaning them up. Now the room is fairly clean. Now I'm in the next room over, the dining room. It's a fancy room with a long table that would probably seat 20. The room looks good. Now I'm in the entry area. It and the parlor next to it look pretty good. Now I'm back in the living room. It's been cleaned up even more since I left. I wonder if my wife and I are moving in circles around the house, never catching up with each other.

Working late
I'm at work very late; it's dark outside, and it's near midnight. I need to use the restroom. Now I'm walking into building A. I'm really not sure why I'm doing this, since I had been working in building B. An overweight bearded man goes in ahead of me; I think he must be arriving for 3rd shift for tech support. In the entryway, between the two sets of doors, I realize I'm still listening to my dreaming MP3. I step to the side and pull out my phone to turn it off so no one thinks I'm crazy. Once I'm in the lobby, I again question why I'm in A. I decide to head back to B and use the restroom there. I leave out a side door.

Now I'm in a part of the building I've never been in before. It looks like a loading dock. I have the feeling I shouldn't be here.There are a couple of doors in here besides the one I came from. I choose one at random and walk through it, not knowing where it goes. Now I'm in the inner part of a nice hotel suite. Some business men are having a meeting and stare at me as I walk past them. I find the exit to the suite and walk out it. It's a strangely narrow short hallway.

Now I'm back in building B, on the ground floor, walking through a hallway next to the windows. I can see through the windows that it's still night time. When I'm almost to another external door, I walk through a group of programmers, all men in their 20s. One of them, a thin guy, stops me and asks if I've learned Spring yet. I tell him that I've only gone through the intro tutorial. He doesn't look pleased, so I explain that I'm not in his group, that I do all sorts of different things, but not much with Spring. One of the other guys gets an amazed look on his face and asks if I'm the one who wrote the digiclean script. I say that I am, and the first guy changes from annoyed to pleased and says that they love it, that everyone on the team has to run it at least once a day or things just stop working. I realize that none of these people is real, but I keep talking to them anyway, since it's nice to be complemented.

The island
Ben is in our kitchen (it actually looks like our real kitchen), describing his trip to <island>. Now I'm swimming around <island>. It's a tiny piece of land; I can swim around it in just a few minutes. I see a lot of trees but no signs of life. On one side of the island, there's a really dark patch of water. Swimming to it, I find that it's got a very strong up-current - so strong that I can actually get on my hands and knees, raising my body out of the water. It feels like I'm on something squishy with an inch or two of water on it. I try to swim down into it, but that's a complete failure. I swim out of the dark area and try again, but I still can't get down into the water.

Fragments
1) I'm in a store, checking out. I talk with the middle-aged female cashier.

2) Something about a plumber in a bathroom. He has to go get his tools. I stay outside the bathroom and fiddle with my phone.

3) I'm in a building with people. There's some conversation about traveling to other countries and needing passports. Something about a boat.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps, hopefully getting back to my proper sleeping schedule that actually works.

Dream 1(fragment):

There was something about numbers.

Dream 2(fragments):

I am doing stuff at home on PC, i have thoughts about my goals and then i realize that i am dreaming, i go towards balcony but dream fades. Then i am suddenly standing somewhere else and looking out of window and i see black dragon on the street, waiting. Then dream fades out completely with a noise before i can do anything.

Dream 3(fragments):

There was some story about girl wandering through some dark place, she finds big mutant thing with three arms, one of which is very long. Mutant smacks the girl and she goes unconscious, but then some kind of energy comes out of him towards the girl and she transforms and gets some kind of power, and then they both become very very small.

In one dream my boss by mistake got contact info of someone he was not supposed to be a le to contact. This man could give my boss inside info on why certain decisions had been made that affected our system negatively.

In another dream we (was it family or coworkers not sure) visited some sort of farm, and there were tons of cats everywhere, and one of them had very unusual impossible green fur. Everyone came to get some coffee but there was no more cup left for me, so I drank out of some sort of weird pitcher, and it overflowed and watered some flowers on the table below.

my boss was driving a car, and some young man whom I don't know in waking life but who in the dream was a coworker, he tried to impress me by hanging out of the car when it was on the highway, and he almost fell out, and I told him I did not find stupidity impressive.

Had a dream, told myself and others around me that i was dreaming, didn't become lucid (not 100% sure on that, maybe became mildly lucid). The dream was at the back of my house, tried to write "you are dreaming" on the wall with a chisel (Didn't get to fully write it down, took alot of effort, like it would in real life and i must have got bored), that's all i remember. I'm not totally sure how it happened, could have been a DC that convinced me that it was reality. To be honest i recreated the back of my house in my mind too well it seems, too realistic. Then again when i was telling DCs about how it was a dream i maybe became mildly lucid.

Note: I may have said "I am dreaming" instead of "Am i dreaming?" before falling asleep, therefore forgetting to question my reality in the dream .

#1. I was in math class, waiting to get my test back. When I did however... WOW what a horrible grade! I had gotten like, 10%. Needless to say, this was pretty much a nightmare, since I want to be a computer scientist and math is kinda important in that field

#2. It seemed like I was back in third grade or something. I was on a class field trip, and we had gone to the city park. I was happily sitting there on a log when another kid came running at me, and he was holding a scorpion! No matter what I did, this kid just wanted this scorpion to sting me soooo bad. I kept running away until the dream ended

Lucid: I was at home standing in the kitchen. For some reason I was holding a dirty dish, so then I went to put it in the dishwasher. When I opened it though, there was a mix of clean and dirty dishes. I thought this was rather peculiar, and went about questioning my family who had done it. When I went to talk to them though, it was like none of them could hear me at all. Finally when they did reply, I asked them what was going on and they seemed very clueless and lost. At this point I concluded that I must be dreaming!

Once I realized this, I immediately ignored everything else and focused on my dream goal, not to be outdone by the dream as I was the night before. I proceeded upstairs to my room. Once I got there I focused on summoning who I wanted to meet, but when I tried the dream started to fade! I then woke up

Nevertheless, it was another lucid dream!

Can't park, so I switch hotels. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was going to park my car to go to the beach, but there were no parking spots. I saw a different beach and a parking lot that was almost full.

I was told I was not allowed to park there.

I went back to my room and told my wife about it. She said that switching hotels would be the best idea, and she booked a room for $175 a night.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some video game and i had to search for something in forest.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing a mod of my ancient doom mod apparently, it was a coop game in some maze and there were dangerous enemies, then as we reached some point suddenly enemy players started appearing, final fight was going on in the room with tables and i've had some pretty powerful weapons that made fight rather simple. Then later we were discussing stuff and trying to figure out what is going on with the game.

Dream 3:

I was playing some kind of mix between UT99 and UT2004 and the level was an indoor, metallic, area with alot of ramps in various formations forming some paths up, then on top there was a generator room. I was apparently playing versus a team of two who were doing pretty good due to me not knowing the level and were sniping around using sniper weapons with white beam that worked pretty much like shock rifles. At one point i was dropped down by one of shots and found flak cannon and with it i started doing alot better and noticed that my opponents were actually playing very badly, sometimes not seeing me in a plain sight.

Date: October 9, 2013
Method: Really I had no method at all, this is the first night that I finished working on a paper, so I fell asleep before I knew it and I don't even remember a WBTB.
Total Sleep Time: 8 1/2 wonderful hours
Fraggle=Fragment

Dream 1

Dreamed my ex boss was trying to make amends with me and gave me some flowers as an apology for something she was sorry about doing. Funny thing was the flowers were the kind that really didn't look like flowers...more like weeds . Does that mean she really wasn't sorry?

Dream 2

I was watching "The Cosby Show" and Clair Huxtable was dancing with the family and then all of a sudden she came out of the the T.V. and she was in my living room dancing in front of me. Of course I thought this was perfectly normal...

Fraggle

Someone had spilled something on my bed and was trying to clean it up.

Note: Always be thankful, even if it is just to have good dream recall .

I've decided I'll only post interesting dreams on here, as filling this up with silly fragments would get annoying after a while.

Waking Life
Non Lucid Dream
Lucid Dream

I was getting a helicopter ride from a man around my town. I feel like I need to get back on the ground, and ask him if he could land somewhere, but he ignores me. We start flying over a forested area by the highway, and it suddenly switches to me driving the helicopter with my grandmother on my mums side in the passenger seat.
Suddenly bullets come soaring past, and my grandmother and I fall out. I grab the helicopter door handle with my right hand and her hand with my left, but my grandmother suddenly says something in Latin and we both get shot. It immediately resets to us hanging out of the helicopter again, like a video game. I manage to pull us both back into the helicopter, and we sit back down.
The gunfire has stopped now, and I can't find any source, so I fly us towards the school next to my house. We land in the field, where my grandfather greets us. My grandmother runs towards him and hugs him. They're both very stressed, but I discover I have the power to calm people down by touching their foreheads, so I use it on them. It works, and they immediately calm down.
I notice a line of school children about my age standing against the chain link fence around the field by a forest. I discover when I touch their items, like backpacks and mobile phones, I can hear their thoughts about those items. I test it out on the different objects along the fence by the school children. None of them seem to notice me. I touch a girls Game Boy that she's playing a Mario game on, but I just hear the sound effects and music of the Mario game amplified in my head.
I touch the girls head, and hear the Mario hitting mystery blocks with your head noise. She seems to be very focused on the game. I then use my calming powers on a girl next to her, but she just become stressed out. I use them on her again and she becomes calm. I switch her between calm and stressed over and over again until she asks me what I'm doing. I'm surprised that she noticed me, and can't come up with a good explanation. I wake up.

I've been dream journaling for almost a month now, but I've only just decided to start posting them here. I'm hoping it'll help me to think of lucid dreaming a bit more in the day as well as the morning and the night.
This was the dream that got me into lucid dreaming Sorry if it seems a bit silly.

Waking Life
Non Lucid Dream
Lucid Dream

I see myself surrounded by giant robots in the third person. They try to stomp on me, but I dodge them. I manage to jump between one of the robots legs, but another kicks me and I go flying into a robots stomach. I land inside a stomach compartment, my view changes to first person and the scene changes to the steampunk-esque engine room of a submarine.
There is a shark person working on a computer. I get a radio message from a woman telling me to sabotage the engine room. I pick up a rock and throw it at a round computer monitor, but it just bounces off. The shark person notices me, and starts yelling at me. Some more shark people come in and start yelling at me with him. They then start arguing with each other, and I slip out of the engine room.
I am in a submarine high school, and there are shark people students and human students everywhere. I go right from the engine room, pass a cafeteria, and go up a metal spiral staircase. At the top, I fall over next to stairs, and can't get up. My limbs feel impossibly heavy, as if they're being held down by huge weights, something that used to happen to me a lot in dreams but hasn't happened to me for a while now. I manage to pull myself up using the railings, and lean against them.
Everyone is staring at me and I feel awkward. The railings suddenly collapse under me, and I fall down the stairs holding a piece of the railings. At the bottom, a strict old shark woman with white hair in a bun glares at me and gives me a lecture for breaking school property. After the lecture is over, I decide to go back to the engine room.
On the way there, two girls come out of the cafeteria. One of them points to me and says to the other, "This is the handsome boy I mentioned.", and they both giggle. I say "Thanks, I am very handsome aren't I?" (I'm not actually this arrogant in real life, I don't know what was going on here), and they both giggle again. They walk away from me, and I keep heading back to the engine room. I stop outside its door, and suddenly realise I'm dreaming.
I remember I'd heard about lucid dreaming before but never bothered about it. I decide to try flying to see if super powers and things actually work. I immediately fly up, my arms sticking out ahead of me like superman, and the ceiling shoots up above me so that I can properly fly around the room.
Before I can properly try out my new found flying abilities, I get a really uncomfortable feeling, like something is watching me and has become angry at me for breaking the rules. I suddenly get a vision of the two girls from the cafeteria covered in blood with red eyes staring at me. I decide that I should probably leave the dream now. I try to slap myself, but my arm slows down and my arm feels held back like before at the stairs, so I know it's useless. I'm starting to feel quite anxious now, so I close my eyes and will myself to wake up. I float through a kind of black void for a second, and then I wake up.
I log onto the computer and research lucid dreaming, and I come across this site. I make an account, and the rest is history, albeit rather short history.

Thanks for reading!

I had two dream entries. First dream I had yesterday and the second one is from today.

08. 10. 2013. -> Golum

In this dream, I am at home with my mother and my friends. In this dream, one of my friends is Golum from the LOTR and at the beginning of the dream I see him killing one other friend of mine with his claws. Others are unaware of this and I fear that he will kill us while we are asleep. I try to warn my mother, but it turns out that while I was talking to her he was in the bathroom(its near) hearing everything I said. I was unaware of that until he walked out of the bathroom, pretending that everything is fine. Now I am terrified and Im sure that he'll try to kill us while we're sleeping. Next scene, Im lying in a bed, trying to stay awake. I feel him getting more near, but I am afraid to look back and Im hoping that its just my imagination. It wasnt. He catches my leg(this part was super-intense) with his hands and I wake up in panic.

Meaning: I put Thurisaz rune under my pillow in order to dream about that Rune. Considering that Thurisaz can represent demonic forces - I got exactly what I wanted.

09. 10. 2013. -> I leave the bed.

I dreamed of H. last night. We were lying in bed and making out, but it was kind of uncomfortable. Like she wanted to be with me only if I specifically conform with her vision of me. I was being judged for every move I make and as the making out got more intense and more passionate, I suddenly decided to leave. I simply walked out of bed and left, leaving her confused. In the later part of the dream, I text'd her using mobile phone, saying that we need to talk. She didnt answer and that didnt suprise me. In the dream, I was very disappointed with her behavior and thinking.

Meaning: Met her the other day. This dream is a perfect representation about how I feel about us. It would be great if she'd just stop overanallyzing things..

Morning of October 9, 2013. Wednesday.



My last dream was rather annoying concerning overall content. It involves a fictional development of the “Planet of the Apes” franchise. There are differences in my dream relative to how the plot and theme of the real series developed.

In my dream, all of the apes are very friendly toward humans and have supposed inferiority, as well as being far more realistically ape-like than in the movies, including how they sit and behave in general, but some of them seem to be able to walk a bit more upright. It is quite different in that the apes are mostly the only creatures that ever go into what were once human cities. There are no cats or dogs (as in the real-life series). Most people live in houses a fair distance from the older cities (but which still have supplies for the human population) and have the apes deliver everything to them.

A main difference is that many products are now robotic, even bottles of shampoo, with the ability to communicate with some sort of software and electronics - to inform people of a particular time or status. For example, a bottle of shampoo may walk into the living room and inform the person (relating to a preset schedule) of the nearing time when their hair is due to be washed. An oven may report on a loose wire or other problem and then walk to the city for repairs by other robots. A toy may be badly broken (exposing a sharp edge, for example) and walk itself to an isolated area to be eventually recycled, leaving a small printout from (name of toy) saying “goodbye” when the child is sleeping.

One location in my dream seems to be very loosely based on the rabbit shed in Florida (which later became the setup for a chicken farm). The larger area is otherwise much different, with the area beyond to the west being the outskirts of the city filled with apes, primarily chimpanzees and gorillas. The region is seriously filthy, with ape excrement all over the streets and sidewalks, and there is an animal-like smell everywhere, but it is not overwhelming, just unpleasant.

Near the exit of the “rabbit shed” on a larger board across a foundation column (looking much like our shed in real life at one point), just before a larger view of the city is accessible, sit a couple of larger chimpanzees. One is a young female. I do not think the apes have the power of speech (as in the movies) but “speak” using the same technology as the robotic commercial products. The chimpanzee girl moves a bit closer to me, “saying” how she had learned to kiss like Miley Cyrus from another human (as well as associations with a video) saying the name of the human whose name I can not recall, the thought of which doubly disgusts me in my dream (not finding Miley Cyrus attractive - and only “suddenly” learning who she was in the past week or two with a few horrid photos - as well as wondering why a sane human being would be intimate with a chimpanzee in any way in the first place). I push away the female chimpanzee (and at one point, notice overdone ugly lipstick and partial tongue “bubbling” out getting an impression of an overflowing bowl of rice bubbles - but more maggot-like), but still pet it in a manner to keep it at a distance. The other chimpanzee, her much older father, seems blissfully ignorant of the weird behavior of his daughter and just sits and grins absentmindedly, scratching his armpit and brushing his forehead with the back of his other hand. Eventually the two hug each other as family members and I pat the “old man” chimpanzee, feeling quite sorry for it, moving my hand over his rather large, round, and mostly bald head. I decide not to go into the city because of the smell of apes and ape excrement everywhere and get a vague impression of popular mainstream human culture at the same time, a sort of unusual realization, which is even more off-putting than the ape presence.

Later, some people (a couple looking like nurses) are pulling about a dozen or more very young chimpanzees in a large gated wooden wagon through a large building. There is a violent fight between two young males which seems “like the movie” in an “oh that’s right” association, but in reality, it is not like the movie at all. Young Caesar and Cornelius are fighting, but in the actual movies, they are played by the same actor (Roddy McDowell). This is supposedly the first time apes have been anything other than very docile.

There is also a conspiracy going on. In a ridiculous outcome near the end of my dream, a nurse is electronically “talking” to various products, mainly three; a bottle of shampoo, a lipstick cylinder, and a can of shaving cream for women. Supposedly, there is some sort of “Cyrus virus” in the robotic software that causes the products to malfunction and walk about to endanger the householder and even cause damage to various parts of the house and infect other products, even causing certain foods to become poisonous or filled with rapidly-reproducing bacteria. The nurse puts the scanner over all three products to check - the scenario being quite absurd. She scans the shaving cream and the can says, “I am doing fine and how are you?” She scans this lipstick, which gives the same answer. She then scans the shampoo, which has a more “unusual” voice (relative to what is expected) as if it is trying to mimic that correct response, but sounding more human somehow.

“This is the one”, says the robotics technician serving additionally as a nurse, “we need to recall all modules and reboot the system”. The shampoo bottle sprouts spines and leaks bubbling “venom” and starts wiggling after going “limp”. There is an electronic crackling sound from the plastic bottle, with someone saying “Hello? Hello? Testing one two three,” as if testing a microphone connection.
