Taking a cruise
I'm on a cruise, sitting at a table with Chris and two other guys I know (no idea who). Chris is recounting one of the doctrinal rabbit hole discussions I recently took him down. Now I'm in the next room over refilling my plate. I don't want to miss the conversation, but I'm really hungry, and I should be able to be quick enough to not miss much. I realize there's some event I'm supposed to be at that starts at 10:30, and it's almost 10:30 now; but since Chris is running the event, and since Chris is still sitting and talking, I should be OK. Most of the food is already gone, but I'm able to grab some wedges of cheese and some lettuce. The lettuce won't do me much good, but cheese is good and filling. Now I'm back at the table eating my lettuce. The ribs are a bit browned, so I'm tearing the tender part of the leaf off of the rib before eating it and discarding the rib. I feel a bit silly eating whole lettuce leaves by themselves, but no one notices, and I'm so hungry that I just don't care.

Now the ship is back in port, and I'm standing on deck talking to someone about how the trip went. I tell him that the trip was generally pretty good, but there were some rough parts - especially a nasty storm in which we actually lost a mast. I only heard about the mast falling third hand, but the guy I'm talking to actually saw it happen.


Falling tree
A large crowd of adults and children from church is walking along a sidewalk. Up ahead, a few people have already reached the crosswalk and are waiting to cross. I hear a loud crack and somehow know that a tall tree across the road is the one that broke, despite seeing no obvious sign. Sure enough, it comes crashing down across the road, stopping mere inches from Clayton and Rebecca. She looks very shaken up and starts walking home with her sons. I notice that she's wearing a colored long-sleeved shirt and some fairly tight jeans.


Fragment: I'm thinking about how hard it would be to take the kids to visit England. I "remember" being in a trans-Atlantic plane and having to go through a narrow tunnel to reach the "pod" in which I spent the flight and consider that our kids couldn't be alone in pods, that we'd have to be with them, but that they're so small that we'd be curled up with no space to move. I'd probably have to read stories for 7 hours, and there's no way my voice would last that long.

BTB @ 0400 /w half melatonin
Woke @ 0600 (alarm). No recall.


Nap time (1400-1530):

Driving with my daughter
I'm in the gray van with my oldest daughter, doing some kind of maintenance. Now the car is rolling along the road, and she's behind the wheel. I reach over to start the engine, but she's already pressing the gas pedal. I tell her to stop pressing it and am surprised when the sound of the car changes - I guess it's like the A/C or the vent, that even with the engine off the car can move itself, but it probably drains the batteries really quickly. With the gas pedal no longer depressed, I start the engine, and my daughter resumes driving. I hadn't planned to teach her to drive so early (she's only 10), but she's doing a great job. I wonder what my wife will say when we get home.

Now I'm sitting on the second row, and she's sitting in the passenger seat. I can't understand why she would have moved over to leave the car out of control, but she says that she's doing <something> and that everything's OK, she still has control.

02-15-2016 -- [Many wakings, long dreams I can't remember, cool stuff I've lost, and then finally this dream with a lot missing, but also a lot of details I manage to remember. Vaguely nightmarish, and woke to even more nightmarish stuff.] There are these people on TV that are giving orders, and somehow there are hints that they can see the future or something, but there's something weird about them. I don't know what, but I can just kind of sense that something is a bit off.

As I really concentrate, and look, while watching them, I begin to kind of see it. In some way, over the TV, they are hiding their real faces, and they look perfectly normal, but when I really stare, I begin to see through that facade, and begin to barely catch a glimpse of their real faces. It isn't at all clear, at first, but I start to see square white patches where their eyes should be. And somehow for the moment, it is really spooky and creepy.

I come to know that they have had their eyes gouged out, which somehow allows them to see into another time or dimension or something, which may be helpful, and allow them to provide some good directions, but when you suddenly see through the disguises, it's also kind of spooky. The ones on TV are disguised really well, and it is really hard to see through it, but the ones around me in person are a lot easier, and moment by moment I can see through the disguises at a glance, and in a scene hugely reminiscent of 'They Live,' I'm walking down the street, pointing out people, going "You're normal." "You're OK." "Ewwww ... that's disgusting!" The ones who realize I can see through their disguises go running off in horror.

Anyway, one guy has given me instructions that I have to go see somebody in the hospital, and that it's vitally important that I talk to him and check on him ... then the guy goes running off. Another is to drive me there, and he must have had his eyes gouged out a long time ago, because he has done away with the linen bandages, and it looks like his eye sockets have almost entirely grown over, which is somehow less creepy ... until I remind myself that I am riding in the cab of a person who is blind.

Suddenly I find myself walking past a large, fading, decrepit old house, spooky, tall grass. I'm moving carefully, pushing branches out of the way, and trying to avoid the snakes I don't quite see, but know are there. I'm not me, but someone else that I'm just kind of watching over. He's gotten to the upper rear corner of the property, and is kind of hiding behind some rotting old steps, and he 'knows' the timing is just right for the summoning of a powerful, demonic 'god,' but doesn't really believe in such things, so he starts to chant the words he's been told to speak, the idiot.

So with a bang and a lot of brimstone, this huge, powerful demon appears, and stalks around pontificating about finally being free to terrorize, and tossing aside a basic 'thanks' to the idiot that summoned him, before he stalks off through the grass. Meanwhile I am with this thin, trembling scared teen who is more and more resembling Shaggy, who is done with this, and is about to bolt, but still reminds me I have to go see the kid in the hospital, which it turns out is the rotting, decrepit old building.

This isn't the guy who was driving me. He was older, a lot bigger, bulkier, and not nearly so terrified ... and yet, he might be the same guy, because it is weird and dreams are like that. I tear off the information about the person I am supposed to be seeing from out of the guy's notebook, and step through the rubble and debris as I start to make my way into the hospital, and the sound of me feet in the gravel are very loud and clear. In fact, they seem more real than anything else ... in fact ....

[I start to come awake in the real world, and can still clearly hear what are sounding like footprints in the gravel outside my windows, like somebody is walking around just outside. I lay in bed, motionless, just listening to the sound, and wondering what is going on, and as I come more awake, I realize I don't have any gravel outside by the windows, and I am starting to suspect another palmetto bug has gotten in, and is crawling around in the bits of paper on the floor, except as I shift and turn the light on, I can not hear anything moving around, even after several minutes, which seems very unlikely, and I'm eventually forced to conclude that I was lying is just the right position with my ears bent by my sleeping in just the right way that a sound of the pillow brushing against the headboard or something was producing a slight brushing sound that was amplified absurdly, combined with the nightmarish setting to wake me with heart palpitations. (Figuratively.)]

Im at my high school with my old friend logan and i ask him if he wants to smoke some weed for the first time and he says sure why not. So we go to the bathroom in the school and it looks like my bathroom at home and i smoke a bowl and then give it to logan. I tell him i have to go but ill be back. So i leave and come back a few minutes later and as im walking towards the bathroom i see the principal there because the bathroom is filled with smoke because logan didnt blow the smoke out the window.

I recall only short fragment. I was in school, wandering crowded corridors. Suddenly a man wearing a black suit appeared. He had bright hair and was clean shaven. Everyone started at him. He wanted to talk with me, but I can't recall why.

1) On a coach siting at the back, my granny is driving, we set off at great speed. I realise it's cold and I have forgotten a coat. Then I'm flying in the air with all the other people on the coach and I notice they are all wearing just T shirts and realise it's actually quite warm. Next I have a cat sitting on my legs and it's quite enjoying being thrown around and sleeping soundly on me.

2) There are hundreds of peolple wearing hard hats preparing for a wedding, I'm wandering around amonst them. I'm outside the marquee and surrounded by scouts who are going to camp in the same area I walk with them back towards the wedding marquee and reach the entrance, say goodbye, there are a few people now stood around wearing formal clothing.

3) On a camping trip. Then I'm a long way from the tent naked and I run back trying to avoid the thistles on the ground.

15/2/16:
Dream 1: I was at high school in one of the science rooms. We were all paired up doing experiments of some kind with the teacher guiding us. I can't remember any more specific details.

Dream 2: I was at my primary school except the people there were from my high school. It was lunchtime and we all congregated near where the canteen was. There turned out to be a Pantera concert going on, so I jumped right into the crows and started headbanging with the rest of them. The current song finished and they started playing walk, and I think I jumped up on stage and stuff, idk it was pretty wild.

Dream 3: I was on a plane with my family, not sure where I was travelling to. I had a seat next to my brother with my dad sitting a few rows away. We were sitting next to some strange people, then the food cart came around and we were arguing about what was free an what cost money. I think I got a muffin and my brother got some chocolate shake thing. My dad then called for us and asked if we had a bag with us. We did and it allayed his concerns, but he was still acting a bit weird.

Dream 4: There were a group of people breaking into a university building. They descended down from a helicopter and took positions covering all of these security measures like cameras and pressure plates so they wouldn't be found.

Dream 5: My brother and I had a tour of the university we will be going to. We got shown around a bit, I remember it was quite high tech with a black and red colour scheme and lights. The tour ended and we were left on our own, so we tried to find somewhere to play something. We headed out the back and ended up on a basketball court where three people were playing. They were all dressed like in the 1960's and they approached us and asked us what we were doing. They looked at us like we were freaks or something and then tried to bully us around. Somehow I had developed super powers though, so when one of them went to push me I crouched down and then sprung up, flinging him 20 metres back into the dirt. The others blanched at that and ran away.

fuzzy part: there was a box that was evil, I knew it was evil by nature of how it made me feel when I neared it. It was attracting something in a large herd and they were mindlessly following it.

Clearer part: I was running down the street of a city that was deserted and grey, I heard the music of the box again and it was plaid and colorful and evil, all of the sudden B-12 flying fortresses were coming down to earth and shrinking as they came. by the time they hit the ground they were just the size of a small drone and they were headed on wheels to the evil box. It reminds me of the monkeys in Zombies of COD

Bed @ 2300
Woke @ 0030 with insomnia. I stayed in bed ~45 minutes, got up, drank hot milk, listened to a book, got back to bed at 0150. At 0230 I got up, took some melatonin, took a shower, and got back to bed at 0300.
Woke @ 0710. Total sleep: ~5.5 hours


Salads and news stories
I'm in a kitchen listening to the radio while preparing some salad. On the radio, the Russian president is announcing that after working closely with <John Doe> whose name I recognize in-dream as being my old coworker, he's announcing a preliminary treaty with the US. Our countries will be jointly working to acquire <some resource>. Together, we should be able to surpass Britain as the #1 producer of <the resource>. Unlike past ventures, we'll truly be working as one team, not just two teams working on the same project with the same goal.

As he's talking, I'm working on my salad. I've got a bunch of washed, cut up lettuce, but I'm having trouble getting the water off of it. Something is wrong with the salad spinner. In the end, I grab a clean sink strainer, put it in the bottom of my salad bowl, and put the lettuce on top of it. I figure the water should pool in the bottom of the bowl, and I can drain it later before serving it.

I hear another news story about former operatives who are trying to enter private life after being disabled in the field. A woman named Jennifer has become a professional cellist after losing half of her hearing. I'm surprised that someone with bad hearing can be a musician now; I guess she must have had exceptional hearing to start with.


Dark mansion
Some people in a game? are wandering through a dark mansion. The room they're currently in is square with a spiral staircase going up around the walls. A square hole takes up most of the floor. From my perspective, all I can see through the hole is blackness. The people in the room are careful to stay well away from the hole as they walk towards the bottom of the staircase.

Now my character is on a platform outside the mansion - it seems to have become a 2D platformer. I jump up and start to tunnel upwards through some blocks, but an enemy comes shooting out of the woodwork to my left and damages me. At first, I'm not concerned - I can lose a bit of health - but then more and more keep coming out as I'm climbing and I become seriously concerned about the loss of health.

+ [EPIC!] "Sand Castle" farm

standing in fields, looking in to the main building, I choose 2nd floor office with great view of the fields as my office.

officers come by, they run off to catch a deer, they identify its breed

walk into office, odd lock on door, ceiling falling in sharp heavy glass everywhere, very dangerous almost trapped and cut to shreds. Boy this place needs work, extremely shabby. We spent over $300,000 on this place.

wake up in bed, my body is covered with red spots like mosquito bites. This place is infested obviously.

The place is called Sand Castle by the locals in a derogatory way, because the soil is poor and sandy. If it was put on the market, it would get no offers for months. We won't get our money back.

we become a couple's destination retreat for gay black men speed-walking marathoners. There's a competition held, it involves a huge slide on the course and someone must judge, I jump down this slide and end up by the pool. see couples walking, tents all around the place. This is how we're going to save the farm, and I tell somebody about this.

pool: I see fish in the clear water [DREAM SIGN!], an owl dives in to pick up and eat a dead pigeon lying on the right side of the pool. There's a salt-water flatfish (like a sole) on the bottom, who put that there? There are other fish around. My work manager set up a low sun-blocking shade on the left back corner of the pool area.

go investigate the land, craggy and rocky, tall excavated almost-cave. Inside smaller cave, there is an ancient line marking the passage of the sun. pick up the fence, looks better now. I find the spoon from my boy scout fork/spoon/knife kit, but a small boy wants it and takes it.

the passport inspectors come and my sister and brother in law watch how the immigration officers in this country check out my passport and residency document
-------
wake, amazed at this long vivid epic dream. recall it for a while. eventually gather the will to apply my "fall asleep fast" approach. more dreams follow

+ mini-car
There is a small red sports car, a man is driving it. He is a jerk, he's knocking people out of his way on the path, he's zipping around twisting mountainous paths. On the back of the car are the words written "range; 10 minutes on a charge." I think that's a pretty useless electric range and say so, have a discussion about how this could be used: maybe it'll help you reach the gas station if you're out of gas, or maybe if you take this little car with you on a road trip on a tailer (it's really small, so that's quite possible), it's enough of a charge to get you to a store and back. It's practically the size of a child's push-pedal car.

+ garden bees
Down on the steps leading to my childhood home's back yard, I see that there are about 6 large circular planters arranged on the left side of the garden by the fish pond. I'm looking at them and I see that they're messing up the grass. I'm walking among them, and I think that they've been put over the place where I had planted mint [false] last year, I can't find the mind, there are some leafy plants growing, though. I should have put stakes where I planted the mint so I'd know where to look. I'm lying now on the grass with my head towards the right end of the yard, looking at the various flowering bushes growing on the left edge. One bush has a few grapes growing on it, "good, I could eat those before they're gone" I think. There are bees buzzing all around the flowery bush with the grapes. Some of them are on my shirt, a few on my stomach and a few on my chest. I brush them away but am concerned that they'll get aggressive. One of them flies into my ear and starts buzzing like crazy and I start shaking my head like crazy to get it out and I wake up.

+ waffle wrap
I'm with my wife outside on a sidewalk doing something. I "remember" [false] inside there are tasty marzipan cakes available at a counter. I go inside and ask the girl at the counter but there are no more left. There is a man at the counter perpendicular to hers who starts offering me things. I have trouble understanding him perfectly, he's speaking a foreign language. He switches to English, and this surprises me [missed it!]. My wife is offended at his speaking English and leaves me on my own. I wonder how I'll get the order right myself. One of the things he offers is a waffle wrap with syrup, and sun-dried tomatoes on the inside. I decide I might as well get this.

+ boy with the hair, deja vu
I'm in some public place and spot a boy I recognize. He has blonde and multi-colored dyed hair. He tells me about the situation he witnessed with me and some friends before, where one guy behaved very badly. I "remember" the scenario [false, probably]. Something with my wife correcting my pronunciation.

+ LD#174 Tsunami / call another planet ToTM Feb 2016 Advanced (i)
In my childhood home, looking out at the view of the bay below. The water is in very close. All of a sudden, the water pulls far back very quickly. I recognize this as the sign of an approaching tsunami. I go running around the house screaming for my family to all get out immediately, stop what you're doing and run out and let's drive away! I'm running around and go up to the 2nd floor, into my old bedroom and look out the window. The scene is quiet and tranquil, the city lights are flickering in the distance and everything looks normal. Hmm. Is everything OK now, or is the tsunami still coming? I decide to fly out to sea and check if I can see a tsunami coming.

I wonder if I'll be able to fly. I'll try to fly out the window to make sure. Maybe I'll just fall flat on my face. But if I can fly, I'll be dreaming. I feel entirely awake but am open to the possibility that I can fly [DREAM SIGN]. I take a few steps back and do a quick running take-off. Am I going to fall on my face? No, I'm floating towards the window now, slowly. I pull myself through the blinds and continue flying, slowly, I do a "superman with a go-pro" first-thrust to gain speed.

I realize I'm dreaming, and I can do anything. There are people floating in the sky with me. I do a quick "B.E. S.T.R.O.N.G." just-got-lucid ritual, really rushing and missing most, remembering goals. Remember ToTM and call another planet, I decide to do this one.

I decide I will summon my phone by doing by feel-only all the same gestures I perform in waking life: I reach down with my hands and lift up the flap of the pocket in my waist bag where I keep my phone. I pull the zipper open. I reach in with my thumb and forefinger expecting to feel the side of my phone, and I do! It feels completely like how it feels when I take out my phone when awake. I bring it up before my face and tap/push the button on it. Beforehand I decided I'd use an imaginary "voice activated calling" feature to avoid troubles with dream-dialing. "Call to another planet!" Just a ring or two and then an answer. I say "Hello! Please tell me your name and the name of your planet!". I hear the guy's voice clearly. Sounds like a young man, early 20's, with a wise-ass sarcastic tone. I understand him perfectly, he's speaking clear English. The planet was named (memory not perfect here) "Abbu Wabbe" or "Arab World", and his name was "Defeated Terrorist." He apparently really hated Arabs. At this point I was flying over the bridge and looked down and said "well, I bet there were Arabs on the bridge when the tsunami hit it, you're probably happy about that?" I then saw a replay of the tsunami hitting the bridge, it was just tall enough to hit the roadway, I thought it would be taller. It really smacked in hard and knocked everything/everybody off. I wanted to confirm the planet name and the guy's name, so I called back again using voice activation. I say "Hey, it's me again. Did you say your name was Defeated Terrorist of Defeater of Terrorists?" Another guy says "Oh, sorry, he went to lunch."
At this point I'm probably losing lucidity, and see the remains of a nice-looking lunch of some acquaintences seated at the table next to me, some young boys who say "I hope he calls again." I pick up a single small bit of bacon from his plate and eat it, it's delicious...and wake up

rough notes for now, wanted to get them down before I forgot them.

bridge, PaJe and drunken wife, in car at top of Mar. with Gal. driving car gets in accident, group says luckily nobody got hurt

bus to work

visit friends house large house open fields, fawcet, offer work, decline, give lunch, it's a watery bowl of "soup" with one tiny piece of rubbery liverwurst,
go to restaurant "why? because you gave me a bowl of water"
walk through several Mexican places, think "I've had enough of this, I should get pad thai"
but go into another mexican place with chili and order some

driving somewhere it all goes dark, look back behind me for the entrance, confused, how did I get here, I feel myself pulled into the side of the darkness
wake in bed with two girls: SB, and another one. Get up, open the doors to the next room, 3 kittens run in and hop on the bed, one jumps up at least 1 meter in the air with splayed legs and plops on the bed, I must have been feeling cats in the bed in that dark place earlier.
SB asks me about work again, I say I can only contribute on weekends, she gets upset and says that's not good enough, she may have to hire "Luke".
outside, SB and I have made love (details forgotten), I see 2nd girl walking suggestively on her hands and knees away from me in a skin-tight leotard looking amazingly hot, especially her a$$. I follow her and we're then lying on the sand naked and I'm getting a BJ from her and I move to get into a 69 and the scene transitions?
Now I have both girls smitten with me, this will be trouble. I see 2nd girl again, she is holding a bottle of wine and smiling at me, saying "This is for later." What shall I say? I don't want to hurt her, so I say "that's great!" I see SB watching us through an opening in the wall.
SB is mad, we're moving to sit down on a bench outdoors, I lean forwards and look back at the bench I'm about to sit on through my legs, and I see up SB's skirt while she sits down. I sit down and put my arm around her.
Back in SB's bedroom, we're getting up from bed and I tell her "you should go ahead and just hire Luke." We're throwing the blankets back on the bed. She has a buddhist shrine across from her bed. I display my "yoga sklils" and am trying to do some odd position which is like a half-handstand with my head down, hands on floor, arms bend 90 degrees at elbow, and I'm trying to place my knees on top of my arms (the part which is horizontal to the floor). I'm looking for a good spot to do this, I see a corner on the wall but I don't want to fall into the wall. The floor is carpeted.

First dream

I was in my house. I looked through the window - it was a dark, cloudy day. I felt that there was some kind of danger coming, and realized that there is a zombie outbreak. I wandered around the house, alerting my family that they should prepare. We made barricades and stored all supplies we had. There were too many of them however, so we had to escape. We used a small window in the basement to escape and ran to a carpentry workshop of my father. Zombie didn't tried to enter it, they were busy with other survivors that came to our house looking for help. I watched a slim blonde woman escaping from them. She climbed up the rooftop and practiced acrobatic skills to escape.

Second dream, WILD

I was in my uncle's house. It was an unfinished building, with only parts of upper floor hospitable. I spent a night there. It was a bit cold, and the toilet wasn't done yet, so we had to make it inside a bucket. I fell asleep.

I woke up in that house again. I realized that it's a dream. I felt refreshed, full of energy. I have thought what to do, and decided that I should see the house finished. I turned around thinking about a mansion, and the building was mostly finished. There were only some small rooms unfinished. The building was furnished with expensive furniture made of black oak wood, there were several paintings on the walls and in overall it looked like it belonged to someone really rich. I thought that I should summon someone, just for the sake of summoning. I was teleported to a huge cottage with two really long tables. The room was lit by candles, this gave it a moody atmosphere, it was charming. There were people sitting by the tables. Kids and other people, but nobody I knew. Then I saw a blonde woman, and after looking closer I saw that she was that survivor from previous dream, the one that used acrobatics to escape. She smiled to me. I thought "Eh, whatever." I didn't had any plans for that summon, I just wanted her to roam the mansion. Then I was back in uncle's new house and looked through a window. Just in time to see the summon arrive in a silver Mercedes car. She entered the building. I went downstairs to kitchen. Uncle was preparing dinner, I noticed an unfinished room. He said "You're not going to finish it..." I replied to him in my thoughts (which resulted in my voice appearing everywhere). I thought "I'll try". I turned around and a transparent brick wall appeared in place of doors. I turned around again, and almost saw that room, the wall was fading away. It was mostly done, just a matter of phasing through the wall. It was a bathroom. I went along main hall and entered dining room. There was a long table with set of chairs. The summoned woman was already there. I have lost lucidity.

Dream fragment

I was walking through a dark underground passage.

Took a lot of effort to remember anything this morning.

1) At some sort of conference. Difficult to get in my bags kept getting searched, crowds of people trying to get in. I remember going from downstairs to upstairs, there was more to this dream but I can't remember much detail.

2) Standing in a country lane with my wife outside some houses, I think I was trying to explain something to her. One of our cats ran out into the road as a large lorry came past and narrowly avoided being run over. Somehow the dream switched to me moving bits of frozen fish from a large plastic container to a smaller one. Bit odd.

3) I was hearing music from Les miserables and thinking how much my wife liked it then thought about taking her to see it. I was then looking through a programme for the show.

Before going to sleep I heard a deep vibration or buzzing in my ear, it lasted for about 10 seconds and then stopped completely. It was extremely loud. Anyways my dream was that of a spinning ring, at first it was spinning in the air attached to some sort of leather cord, then it was on a table (no leather cord) being spun by the guy who appears in most of my dreams. The ring also changed in details, at first it was simple, looked as if made of silver or white gold, with some sort of tribal design. Then the ring became ornate, with a rainbow stone in the center amd smaller stones going around the band (smaller stones were of different colors).

P.S. no explanation of a spinning ring in dream dictionary

14/2/16: A lot of dreams on an otherwise not great night.

Dream 1: It was my brother and I's birthday, and we were at home when we received presents from a friend. The presents were magic the gathering cards in both physical and digital formats (idk lol). These seemed like pretty cool presents, so I was set to play but I got a reminder that it was another friend I have's birthday too. I quickly rushed over to meet him, only realizing one I arrived that I had forgotten a present for him. He said it was ok, and we went to this really long, muddy trench. There were tons of people there as an Elephant was being raced down the trench.

Dream 2: I was part of a debating team of three people. We travelled to a beach where we took on another team of 3 with someone there to adjudicate. Our first person won, then our second person lost to some underhand tactics, but I won in the third position so our team won.

Dream 3: There was some sort of criminal conspiracy theory involving Paul Sturgess. He was part of some youth basketball training camp and every morning while still dark they went out for a jog. Standing at 7 foot 8 he was head and shoulders above everyone else and stood out like a sore thumb. Anyway every morning there ended up being someone killed at a time where the other people in the camp didn't see him. I got tasked as a sort of PI on the case and was watching his movements through binoculars.

Dream 4: I was watching a video about the WWE which showcased a lot of horrible botches and some trade secrets. I saw how the people had flesh coloured shin guards which could pop up or down to protect them. There were also a few horrible botches with one woman stuffing up a move so her foot got twisted around nearly 180 degrees. She was just sitting there screaming her head off as the other person froze.

Dream 5: A friend I had made a video detailing how Asian people view cricket. He talked a bit about the game and then set up a miniature cricket pitch game (like the Test Match cricket tabletop game) in his house and played with that for a while.

Dream 6: In a hurry I chose the wrong quest in Spellweaver, missing out on getting a quest for 540,000 gold, and I was super annoyed with myself for that.

Awakening and going back to sleep.

Dream 7: I had a shower and then went on Facebook. I had received a message from someone and was replying to them.

During my nap today, I had a dream I was somewhere in a field. Suddenly, I was struck by lightning, and the force knocked me to the ground. I could feel the tingling sensation throughout my entire body as the blue energy raced across my skin. Whenever I opened my eyes (as if I was peering into a mirror) I could see the blue light radiating from inside. Physically, I was in no pain, I felt the tingling but it was faint and not painful at all. Mentally, I was calm, gazing at the sky overhead, completely aware I was going through a very peculieur change. Then I woke up.

P.S. According to a dream dictionary lightning eyes is a symbol of a supernatural being, lightning itself is a symbol of prosperity or good luck, also it is a symbol of strong feelings for someone.
