* I come to consciousness sitting on the edge of a bed in a corner of a bedroom, and I hear the sound of rain falling on to the roof and the side of the house. I'm looking at something (magazine, tablet) with the picture of a man dressed in red. I notice I'm wearing a watch on my right wrist and see that the face and part of the red color is visible also filling the face of the clock, which I think is odd, so I nose pinch, and become lucid. I stand up and go to the door of the room, I want to enter the main house. Things get hazy and blurry, I move through doors and find myself in a large living room. I look to the left, and see wife E sitting at a long table on a laptop. She looks young and healthy with that thick, luxurious brown/black hair. I'm really happy to see her, and come up to her and offer a warm greeting and a hug, but she's very stern and is all business. "I have an important message for you [from heaven", and I feel fear, I think they know about some of my secrets, and I think that's stupid, of course they know, but I'm still waiting in trepidation to listen to what she says. She says that she overhead others talking about this. Then she tells me that of our two children (me and wife L), one will die, and one will have very hard times. I'm confused by this message because both L and I are too old to have kids, and we don't have any now. I think it doesn't apply to me. Wife L enters the room and moves to a corner and fiddles with a cabinet, she's wearing a white outfit made up of criss-crossing straps. She doesn't really look like her waking self. I think this is probably the first time they've ever been in a dream together, so why not introduce them. I ask L "what's your name?" And she answers "L" accurately. I go over to her and touch her briefly. She leaves the room and the house through the front door. A standing stove over by the fireplace catches my eye and I go to it and tell E that hey it looks like an old Soviet model. I also see a green Christmas tree. I want to go after wife L I want to talk to her some more, I run out the front door and there is a night-time suburban hilly neighborhood stretching out before me. L is in a car and taking off, "come back!" I call but she drives off. I fly after her but I'm too slow, I will myself to fly faster and I get a big "turbo boost" at high speed but she still drives away. I forget here and notice a convenience store just up ahead, and a young woman standing outside it. Then I notice a convertible car driving from right to left up a hill, top down, 4 people driving in it, some girls in the back seat, I fly after them, slow at first then again will high speed and shoot forwards at high speed, land in the car in the back seat. I decide I want to return to the house and score some comp points, maybe teleport there, I wake up.
* 2024-07-17 LD #313
* Get lucid in a room in a house, full of clutter and objects, and a ton of kids hanging around. There are some people sitting at a table including an attracting young woman, I go up to her, stand behind her, and massage a part of her. I decide I want to see her skin and her body under and around becomes visible. I remember the competition and want to store some points so I look around and with all the kids around decide to do mass DC control. First will them all to become cats, and most of them do! Then I gesture and TK them all to the couch in the middle of the room, and this works as well. I go to the couch and then see that I missed one who was hiding behind some piece of furniture and so avoided my TK. I walk away from the couch and turn around to face it and call out to them, "What does a cat say?" They answer in a group, unison voice "WOOF!". I chuckle and then ask them again, this time applying control so that they'll answer "meow", and they do answer "meow." The kids want to watch TV so I take off flying around the room, looking for a TV. The room has a very high ceiling and there is a wide ledge running around the perimeter of the room at the level of a 2nd floor. It's full of objects, furniture, I notice a pool table. I return to the couch and there's a TV, I switch it on and notice a brief image appear. I move to the kitchen and as I pass a refrigerator on my left, an unseen DC behind me asks, "is it worth it to sell your soul?" I stop and say "absolutely not, no pleasure is worth an eternity of pain and suffering". I turn around back towards the couch and notice a container of chocolate ice cream on the counter, I take off the lid and see the partially melted brown ice cream, pick up a small spoon and eat a spoon of the ice cream, there is no flavor or texture, I wake up.

* 2024-07-16 00:00 Tues comp night #11
* BT 22:00
* Waking 03:00 (5 hrs)
* (f) Flight to England There is an announcement or a board stating that at 03:15 everyone needs to synchronize their watches
* Wake up in a hotel room, I'm (mostly) naked in bed, there are other people (unrelated) in the room, I feel uncomfortable about this and pull the covers up around me. Something happens and I plop to the floor on my butt, not too hard, they ask me "are you ok?" I say "yeah, it wasn't hard." I notice a bed next to mine, small? Very rough and uncomfortable looking. There is a sweeping view from this room, it seems like a familiar view but as seen from a different perspective, perhaps lower elevation. I'm thinking about the owners of this hotel, I think they change and spray the beds every day (or at least in between guest stays). The woman who was there in the room (unrelated) has spread out all their clothes on their bed, about a double/queen size, and is spraying the clothing with a hose. I wonder if she put a waterproof sheet underneath them. I'm fascinated by this process and watch it for quite a while as she goes back and forth over the clothing with the hose/sprayer.
* The unrelated couple say that the "sail" is ready, it's in a corner of the room by where I got up. The view shifts to a large outdoor space, and they're saying that this sail (really like an umbrella) is used for positioning at the opening to a volcano, so that you can see the reflection of the lava on it. I think it would probably be very dangerous to get close to an lava opening, the ground may crumble and collapse under you.
* English pub. A group of us enter a building through a doorway, and go inside. There is a long line inside. We take our place in line. The front counter has a large screen/display of the menu items displayed on it. One of the menu items is steak and bread. I scoot up to the front to see and another menu items seems to be "chopped pasta." I decide that I'll order the steak. There's a man in the line who is talking with two of (my group?) about how he distracted them and pickpocketed them both. He is handing back a roll of cash to both of them. I reach the front of the line and order the steak, but the guy at the counter says they're out of it. I'm disappointed. I'm trying to decide what else I should order. I remember that there was something like a "hash pie" that had a long complicated name. I'm looking at the order board, but I don't see any of the previous dishes that I had seen before, I only see a bunch of differently decorated plates of olives, decorated with various olives.
* Sitting at a table, I observe a woman a few tables away from me, she's young, attractive, she's eating something (apparently steak) and she's talking about how she always eats steak, but that it's been a month?
* My old friend DannyD is across from me and he asks me "how're you doing?"
* I say "Well at least (maybe referring to our troubles in the restaurant), here we are in England! And that's a great way to do it: say up all night the night before, and then sleep through the entire flight!"
* Long BTS. Takes a long time with count, relaxing, etc. Eventually fall back asleep. WBTB. Sat up in bed for a while on edge, cooled off, lay back down, about 10 minutes
* (f) I'm walking outside, I encounter a young woman I think I know, she's carrying a bottle of wine, (rose´?), the wine's name starts with "G"?
* In the room/house: there is a young woman there. We're intimate? She comes to me, and we embrace, and I study her face closely, I see that she has been crying. I think I know why [forgot].
* The room is small and made up of glass walls [DS], it is fully exposed to the outside. The curtains are (colorful?) and narrow on curtain rods, and I'm going around the perimeter of the room trying to close them so that we won't be seen from outside [DS]
* I'm on my hands and knees by a couch in the room, looking behind it, I see a group of three girls, young-sh, maybe tweens early teens, one maybe has a scarred face, they're just sitting there quietly behind the sofa. I look to the wall/ and there is a handle, it seems to be a small sliding glass door that the girls use (I think this is not the first time) to enter the room and sit there. I notice outside that people are walking by, including a very big burly man walking quickly from right to left.
* A man asks me into another room, and his son is there, and he's asking me for an autograph, his son knows me from somewhere. I ask "do you want me to sign fast [illegible] or slow [legible]?" I'm looking at the board/paper they want me to sign and imagine writing my name on it
* Pool/house party, outdoors, suburbia area, twilight lighting [DS], I enter a swimming pool [DS] area and there are a lot of young people playing around there. There are one or two girls with their boobs exposed and this excites me and I go over for a closer look. The group of them turn away and move away from me as I approach.
* Back outside the pool house there is another door. There is a porch, and a woman is sitting inside the porch. I have a pulled-back view of the whole house including the porch.

* 2024-07-15 00:00 Sun comp night #10
* (f) I'm on a tall steep hillside looking down the slope, (there is a coast line below?) there are people below and there is also a bear or other monster, and I need to get down so I jump over the railing and land down below.
* Special bike, racing down hill, back up take DannyD down to show it, we look at it, he recalls how (his mom?) taught him to do tricks on it by pushing on the space between the handle bars, then some guy shows up with a bag (of food?), he's been doing deliveries down the steep hill which has been closed for some show, we three get together and talk about something
* I return back up to the top, and show my pass to the guard station, I see and greet MarkD and his daughter N, give Mark a hug, N shies away. I go up in an elevator with one of the guards, a friend of mine hides through a door on the roof of the elevator. MarkD is in fact in charge of the security/guard station, I'm arguing that my documentation is perfectly acceptable, there are 3 guards at computers and they're closely inspecting my papers.
* DO Overhead of special golf course, a panoramic, panning view of beautiful mountain scenes and valley, with lush green golf courses nestled in between the groups of trees and hills, I think (narrator?) there are very special greens with a special material, and also the place where you tee off, (that prevents divots from being kicked up when you tee off?), I'm a newbie at golf, I wonder if I'll just embarrass myself or if I'll ruin the turf with my bad technique.
* (f) guy on stage and someone ways something about poisoned strawberries
* Traffic argument I'm standing on a raised area above a street looking down at the street, someone comes to park his car and a guy explains this is illegal, and points to signs showing this. I look at those signs, and I see the parking manager rotate the signs to make them visible, and I talk about those signs and how they are ambiguous because you can't tell which way they're pointing to, which traffic direction they're preventing parking on.
* Read a newspaper about a woman who was in an accident, how she ended up dying after the accident, then I relive the memory of how the car accident happened and see her lying bloody in the wreck
* I'm in a video game, enter through a low opening into a large room/arena where there is a huge choice of games, the games are displayed on huge billboards or screens all around the room, there is a particular game that is popular but very hard, the game names are displayed in very large type on the screens [forgotten], a female store clerk comes up to me and offers me version 5 of some game as a private, free download, she's doing this because I previously left her a bad review and she wants me to instead leave a review praising/thanking her, it'll make her record look a lot better
* Come around a corner in an outdoor area (dark [DS]), and some kids are there beating up another kid, really throwing strong punches. Then the kids all come out, and my kids are there, too, and the kid who were fighting are now handing a bag containing some stuffed toys to my kids, I think these may have been some of their (my kids) favorites, they select some?

* Slide labyrinth race I'm in a canal of water, like a "lazy river" at a water park, and on the other side of the canal and a bit to my left are about 3-4 people standing outside on the edge of the canal, on swimmer's starting platforms, a bit elevated, there is a guy with an erection on the right that grabs my attention, his <ahem> is entirely outside his outfit. There is a starting signal and they all dive into the water and start to swim (to my right). There are some sports commentators narrating and they mention the guy's thang hanging outside his suit. I'm following behind them. They're all swimming very strangely, some variant of butterfly with very odd movements, I wonder how they can swim like this. There are about 4-5 people in front of me. (Something about them beings wolves?). The canal is now very narrow and I don't notice water any more, it is like a blue plastic water park water slide tunnel. There are some brightly colored only shaped protrusions in the slide (yellow? Red?) I have a top-down view of the water slide, it is a huge, highly elevated, serpentine, tightly packed labyrinth of these tightly turning water slide tubes, without roofs/tops. I get a view of the whole thing from my perspective. I know the contest is a race to find something. The goal is also to gain abilities from things found in the slide. I'm thinking whether I can use this top view to search for the goal item(s).
* Car dealer A famous female celebrity can't parallel park, I watch her try (?) and she just leaves. I think there is ample curb space in order to park. I and woman friend are also looking to park, I notice there is a lot where there is a car dealer we know to the right of the road we're on, and I see a number of available parking places, and I think this is unusual as normally there aren't any spaces. We're now standing besides a car and the dealer is there, it's a car he will be selling, sort of a red, low sporty model. The dealer asks if we like our car, I say yes but am hesitant because I seem to recall that there were problems, but I don't remember the details.
* Christmas Carols in an indoor area like a living room of a home, there are people there [DS] there is one guy in particular near the far wall and he starts singing Christmas carols, I join in, and do some harmonizing, I change to a new Carol
* I'm holding a piece of an ear, it's the outer edge, it feels rubbery, I try chewing on it a bit and it's very tough. I know that a crook is looking for a former colleague they think is a snitch
* I come up to the back of a van which is open and there is a lot of electronic equipment inside. A woman there (Janet L? From company K?) is preparing to perform surgery. I ask if that's a good idea since the electronics were recently located in a plate that flooded and probably shorted out. She answers [forgot]
* With Wife L L and I are hugging and tumbling to the ground, we roll around a little bit and stop, laughing. I notice that L stops with her head near the front left wheel of a parked car, I think that would have been bad if the car had been driving, and think it's a dangerous position. My POV moves to a bed, and I remember happier days when we were more active.

* Includes 2024-07-12 #310, 311 DILDs (LD #15,16 reboot '24) [13, 18, 16 [2], 0, 5, 9, 1, 9, 1, 5, 8, 10, 9, 8[2] ]
* Night-time, dark outside, Riding in car back right seat, the windshield frosted over I'm very nervous that driver can't see, (I do a nose pinch? Not clear result?). I'm trying to look through the windshield to see how the driver's driving. It seems he's driving on the left side of the street, and it seems he's driving really fast based on the conditions. I wonder if the frost/fog on the windshield will melt to give a better view. We arrive to a (checkpoint?) and I see a lot of large animals outside the right window, walking. Horses, zebras, etc.
* LD #310. I'm walking around an indoor dark/twilight-lit [DS] area, enter a rest area to the right off of the main corridor with a lot of couches, I think I'll sit down, I turn around and look back towards the hallway, studying the people there. All the couches are occupied by identical older women with huge tall white hairdos, they're sleeping, and each is holding a child in their arms. The fact that they look identical is amusing/interesting to me, I want to call Lena to see this. I think this is the place that the babushkas come to rest while the mothers are doing something. I see there is nowhere to sit down, so I decide to leave, but now there are even more, younger teen girls, blocking the exit path[DS] that I entered on, I move to leave and perhaps having to climb slowly over them, but they get out of my way, and I leave the area back into the hallway. Suddenly I stop, suspect I'm dreaming, nose pinch, get lucid, feel joy, immediately turn and walk quickly the other way. I rub my hands vigorously as I walk, and I feel the dream move from a bit unstable into stable, I enter a huge, bright super-high-ceiling atrium/area. There are people walking and standing around. The walls are white(?) [DS]. To my left is a tall work table with computer monitors on it, and a middle-aged woman is just leaving the table, I go over to her, say "Hi, my name's <>, what's your name?" She answers "Carol". I think she's teaching something to students at this table. I ask "what are you teaching here" but she walks by without answering. I move forwards into the center of the room, walk up to someone [forgot], state my name, ask theirs, don't recall answer. I move to the right towards a wall and there is a holographic display, rectangular, set atop a pedestal a few feet away from the wall, the screen is about 4 feet off the ground, translucent, showing some image, I stick my arm through the screen and feel a sort of electric current in my arm, laugh, and keep on walking. I come across a really tall big man [DS], and ask him to give me his light saber. He just walks by. I turn towards the wall and there is an opening, a corridor leading to a (loading dock?) in the distance, and call out to the guys there, "Hey, give me a light saber!" When I speak I hear that there is an echo in the area and think that it's cool that dreams can recreate that as well. I smack my hand on the wall of the corridor a few times to listen to the echo, as I'm doing this, I see a large troupe of people enter into view perpendicular to the hallway, moving from my right to my left, as if there is a perpendicular hallway there, and I notice that they all (10-20 or more of them, walking quickly) dressed entirely, head to foot, in bright white clothing (shirts, pants, shoes, hats, all white). I have a tug of interest in following them but don't. I turn around and I'm at a place where there's a rectangular monolith in the large area, and I see that people are jumping and flying from my area up to the 2nd floor. I want to do this, too. But I feel like someone has latched on to me on my left side, I push/shove that person away, then I bend my legs and jump up to fly, I float easily high up almost to the ceiling, above the level of the 2nd floor balcony, and think that this is an area of anti-gravity. I land on the 2nd floor balcony and sit at a table that's outside of a food stand/burger joint. I'm sitting across from a picnic table [DS] from Andy [colleague from company 3] and say "Hi, Andy, welcome to my lucid dream!" He answers something [forgot]. I'm eating something like a hot dog, and I'm telling the guy across from me at the table (now an unknown Indian guy) "nobody will give me their light saber!". He says "you need to call (the support hotline at) 10354", I repeat the digits to make sure I understand them, he confirms, and then a girl arrives with a 4-foot long burrito/gyros/food thing, it looks really good, but I have a feeling it's not quite what I wanted. The thing that I'm trying to eat, a hot dog, is as tough as leather, I can barely chew it, I can't tear off a new piece, I have to reach up and grab the hot dog with one hand and pull it out of my mouth to cut off a piece to eat, fade to awake.

* Smashing dishes in kitchen. I'm in an industrial kitchen like in a large restaurant. I have the urge to pick up piles of plates and smash them, I pick them up and throw them against the wall and they shatter with an incredibly satisfying sound, and pieces fall to the floor. I turn around and there is a small larder behind me, open (no door), and I pick up another pile of plates and throw it strongly into this area, there is more smashing/breaking sounds, and I watch in satisfaction as other things, like a smoke stack, in the corner of the larder, slowly topple over and also fall to the floor with a crashing sound.

* LD #311 Glove guys squeeze door pizza spaghetti Suzanne closet. I'm examining a computer board, there are 3 (middle eastern?) guys standing around me, it's their board, there is a built-in keyboard, and a number of components, I'm looking at and the guys are explaining the components, the one on the far left-hand side of the board, the owner explains is something like a geiger-counter. Then we're sliding on a smooth concrete path with slightly raised edges like on a slide, with a rounded lip, the path goes through several curves and ends up in a room like a large kitchen, we stand up and high-five each other. I was sitting on the computer board while sliding, I wonder if this might damage it. Inside this kitchen I see some pizza (combo like RT KAS) that I have brought. The guy offers his, and I take a look at it, it is in a bag, and I think it's not as good as mine but I see it does have some interesting meats, like sausage, and probably would be good.
* I'm standing in a room with the board/sliding guy. He mentions that there are some guys in a glove/bag that want something. I see a bag by the wall with something light shining out from it, I go over and look inside, it's like a stairway or tunnel inside, and at the bottom of the glove/bag there is a very bright light, I can't fit though, but I put my face into the top of the bag and look down, and it's like a small bright screen is in the bag on the bottom, but it's not a screen, but a "real" scene. There are about 3 guys in there, sort of like gang thugs, and they want something from me. I feel like I don't have the time or inclination to deal with them, so I tell them I have to go do something. I stand up and turn around towards the guy, while still viewing the scene in the bottom of the glove, fascinated, and say "hey, do you know you have little guys living in this bag?". He answers: "Yeah, and I have some others in my baseball catcher's mitt". I visualize a catcher's mitt then, and think that would be easier to communicate with them than the bag because the mitt is more open. Then the craziness of the situation hits me, I think I'm probably dreaming, and a nose pinch confirms I'm dreaming. Woohoo, a second lucid dream in one night! I'm facing a door to the kitchen we ended up in earlier after sliding, and I move through this door. I know there is a small access door on the bottom (like a doggy door) but it's too small for me, but I imagine that I go through it and fit anyway, and make it into the kitchen. I'm with Suzanne B. I want to eat my pizza, I think of having a slice, but I know that SB has prepared spaghetti for us, and she's leading us to a table, there is a round plate on it and I see some red sauce. I'm wearing a heavy coat and SB asks if I want to take it off, I say yes, she leads us to the first room and to a coat closet, I imagine it's a regular closet in an entryway, I take off the jacket (it's very fluffy like a down parka), and hand it to her. Then I notice that the closet is a door built in to the wall, low, and very narrow. The door is blocked by a small table (with a lamp on it)? As I'm looking at and thinking about this closet, I wake up.

* Applying to work at McDonald's. Lots of people in a room are filling out forms/applying. There is a hiring manager there. I say that I was the most productive chef/cook (saying this so that they should definitely hire me), the manager says "yeah, but we do things differently now, and we don't diss Apple", apparently I was constantly ragging on apple before, (and they're a new partner now). Enter a waiting room with several people I'm helping them, I'm carrying something for them, I'm going past a guy (room attendant/guard) who I who in the past has disapproved of me/blocked me [DS], there is a tray on a counter with little bits of food/bread, and I'm putting down the stuff I'm carrying in this tray. He guard doesn't seem to notice me.

* Elevator [DS]. A guy is trying to get on to a coin-op elevator, to call the elevator you need $0.15, he was struggling to find the coins for this, I was digging in to my pocket to find them, I'm ready to give them to him. The the doors open. (Circular, not flat), there're people on the elevator, it was hard for him to get on, the doors closed, and I stick my arms/legs in the door to try to pry/hold them open.

* Camera. I'm trying to figure out how to configure some feature of a camcorder. I'm holding the device before my face and and manipulating the controls, and looking at the viewfinder with the controls overlay. I'm twisting a swivel, manipulating controls, using a 3D setup screen, eventually I conclude that this model does not have the function I was trying to enable. It's fairly small, I look at it while holding it in my hands, about the size of a small book.

* Meeting groups of people outdoors -- one was setting up a picnic in an outdoor area, on a dry grassy field along a road/path. I had a yoga mat and was thinking of laying it down but wasn't sure I wanted to lay it down right on the ground, I decided to lay it down and people lay out food and drinks.

* (f) people were zipping around in the snow on helmet "unicycles". There were standing in upside down motorcycle helmets and "driving" around in the paths in the snow, one of them went around me to avoid me and then rejoined the path in front of me, they make a little high-pitched fast gas-motor sound, like a gas model/toy boat.

* Food: I'm at a party in the JTyn (DT) house, I'm in the kitchen, looking at the trays and containers of food. The first one I'm looking at is little crunchy crust bowls (edible) of some white substance like maybe mashed potatoes. Some people were swirling their tongues (or I was imagining doing this) around inside the bowls. Then I see a plate of dark brown/black gingerbread cookies, and I pick one up and take a bite, feeling a little sheepish about eating stuff from their kitchen

* Bus ride: around the McDonald's interview, I realize I'm late and I need to get back before I miss the bus, I'm panicking, my hands are shaking, and I'm rushing around to get ready to leave, I get on the bus and there's a woman standing with a clipboard on the bus as a tour/group organizer, I know that she had disapproved of me before, I'm looking at the driver out the front of the bus, this woman is with her, and they are consulting the manual for the bus while driving fast on the road, I'm getting nervous because she's spending long moments consulting the manual instead of keeping her eyes on the road.

* (f) There's a guy trying to get somewhere on the bus and he has a big, heavy box with him.

* (f) I'm wearing jeans and the jeans are wet. I feel the wetness on the front of my quads. I'm thinking I'll stick them in the dryer over night (wherever I'm staying).

* There are some people sitting down at outdoor picnic tables [DS] there is a woman who wants to sit down on the bench, but the bench is dirty and she's waiting for a gentleman to pull out a handkerchief so she can sit on it, one guy to the right pulls out one and puts it down and it is half dirty, then the guy on the left of the woman does the same, it's more the size of a towel, I'm standing right in front of this and looking down and seeing it all, and the right side of the towel is streaked black with grime, and I wonder if the woman who sits there will be able to avoid it and only sit on the clean part.

* Driving at night in a city (B?) taking a shortcut, up a slight hill, reach a stop sign at a fairly major street, I need to wait for traffic to clear in order to cross, finally I drive, and up ahead up a hill after crossing the street some people are stopped in the road on the left side and are waving frantically and pointing to somebody or a crashed car in the right hand side of the street, I couldn't quite see what was there, but I did stop, then it becomes clear, like a motorcycle had crashed, and was lying on the road, but if I had accelerated and ran into him it would have been bad.

* [04:12 am] basketball, playing vs. <my uni> team, they're all black and super tall, I think how I'll play against them. Coming on to the court someone says "you realize the basket is higher [in college ball] than normal? I look at it and it seems higher, I decide to impress them with my layup abilities and try a reverse layup and miss quite badly. Later in a room with a (coach?) who's very fat and I get a strong whiff of body odor [first time in a dream]. There is a long line of store-processed turkeys leading off into the distance and there is something about this being a refrigerator room. On the court an older guy is lying on the ground, passed out and barfed, I say/think he over exerted
* [???] a team of us is doing industrial espionage [?] I realize I've left some of my things with my name <my name> written on them, including my backpack, they may be able to find me out from this. We leave through a major door and I look back at it and it is multi-part including a swinging metal frame, and someone says something like "Suz Hash [grad] is pregnant".
* <forgot>hanging out with a group of people.
* [LD #297] It was after I had been riding around in the park in my childhood home's neighborhood TVP on an electric motorbike, I was trying to figure out how to flip on the engine, eventually I did, when I had flicked the right switch I saw a battery level indicator light up, then I started up the engine and revved the throttle and rode up to the street level , I get to the top and I see a car that is like my old car parked in front of me with the rear end facing me I see the license plate it is standard CA blue background and gold lettering and even "recognize" it (6SUB...?) . I know I need to get my motorbike into the back of this car but I'm not sure it will fit, I go up to the trunk and look in and there is a small person (child?) hunched there in the back storage area on the left, which is I can see far too small for my bike because the back seat of the car is right there practically against the window. And I get the strong impression this is my old (first) car. I go around the left side and I see there are some pretty girls in the back seat. As I walk around I notice some curly strands of black pit hair hanging out the sleeves. So I lean through the window, and kiss the girl seated there. I see her face and eyes briefly and kiss her again. I realize I'm dreaming and I decide not to get pulled in to "girl stuff" and want to go about some dream goals, so I decide to declare out loud "I'm dreaming!" and stand up and go somewhere else and do some things for the current dreamviews LD competition, and instead I find that I've half-sat up in bed and said "I'm dreaming" out loud! Oops. I felt sort of dreamy after that and only later realized I had not done a state test to see if it wasn't a false awakening/transition. It was instant and not a fade, so it may have been a FA!

+ church I stump out I remember I'm in a church service with a lot of people and I stomp out I guess I've lost my faith and I stomped out of the church and I have a couple of old buttons in my hand from my guess the outfit that I'm wearing and I throw them aside but we're gonna go with this day and then discuss to get rid of these thanks maybe and then there's another system with 2 altered boys areralph Raymond and the carrying the snow prayer fantasy but the relief their giant access there's sharpens to their interpreted designs that are silver metal and they're large you know they're like the basketball slice oh yeah bowling And like I say all other things sharpened things music yeah and then there's a scene where I son S1 goes outside toward dog L I guess we're a dog I can see the scene from inside that I can see it down on the street below he walks from right to left and he hooked up a rope in a series of plastic faces to the dog who is dragging them behind them menu's gathering water or it's slowing him down or something I don't know and Yes there's cause it's kind of a final scene I remember is that there's a place in a building where you go up against the window and there's it's an aquarium and it's at an inside level and that's really cool I think I don't know maybe it's like the living room of 3HC

+ bowling

memo 23:
+ aquarium

I don't know anyway I gotta cut off anywhere there's a sufficiand third in order of that there is the fish the aquarium load of Volkswagen sharks are really large weird fish I brought people back a second time to look at them and then there is the bowling alley I was describing the bowling alley how the guy turned off the lane how the ball wasn't the rest of the room and the ball returned for the ball to come back I'm like a blue looking for ball a that's a good fit by fingers and thumb size and weight and they pull it out and they bowl ball and it kind of wonders around on the lane a little bit and it hits the left gutter and goes down the left gutter and I wash your grit on the left gutter and I'm thinking it's suspended up over the regular as opposed to sitting down inside it and think of the stresses on the sides of the gutter and so forth

W2: Fake Voice in Call
I call my old priest Fr. J on the phone. I hear his voice. I am disguising my voice at first. We talk a bit, he doesn't understand who's calling, then I stop disguising my voice and say, "It's me! <my correct full name>! Remember, we played billiards before". (I don't remember if he recognized me or not).

W2: Shower/Drain
(S/A being outside in twilight/dark, nature/farm environment). I'm in a shower [rare], I'm adjusting the temperature and the strength, dim lighting, I'm also adjust the the fabric shower curtain around me. Later I'm inspecting the (carpeted?) floor, there are two small white plastic "periscopes" sticking up from the floor, I think (S/O says?) that these are connected to the room's drain system.

W2: Bowling
I'm a bowling alley. Dim lighting [DS]. A group of us (kids?) are there. I'm observing the shots that the guy in the neighboring lane is making, and thinking about them. I do not see him, the view is a 1st person view looking down the alley from the foul line towards the pins. I see the ball rolling towards the pins over the course of many shots. The first shot has a curve to it and he gets the 7 pin. Almost all the positions are with only the 7 pin (maybe once with the lone 10 pin) and the guy is working on a spare. Never a full set of pins. Later shots have a 7 pin, without curve, and the ball usually goes into the left gutter. Then I'm talking with my guys/kids and asking them if they want the kids rails set up, and they say yeah it's much better with them (and they say it's good for me, too?). But I wonder, if I get a personal best record with the kids rails set up, will my record count? We "finish" our turn and I'm talking to the staff to set us up again on the same lanes. "Yes I'd like to play again on lanes 3 and 4". Standing a bit to the right of "our" lanes when I say this. There are some columns supporting the ceiling running down the right side of the rightmost of our two lanes.

W2: Around the Nuclear Research Facility
[DO] outside a large building which is at least 100 meters away, and below me. I'm looking through glass walls [DS] to watch what's going on inside. Narrator or S/O says that they do research here on materials exposed to nuclear radiation, (to find materials that resist it well). I think that's useful research.

Around "back" of the facility, which may be a shopping mall now, I see tons of junk/stuff/garbage piled up to be hauled away. There are some very large cardboard packing boxes (the size of refrigerators) there. There are a couple of guys hauling stuff out from the back entrance and piling them up here. I think this process will take a long time (all night) and they'll be busy clearing away all this stuff. We have the idea of going inside. The guy I'm with says "hey, let's use the PIO twin ion entrance (some phrase like that). I see a closed door that the guy means we should go through. I know that the PIO moniker means the entrance hallway contains poisonous materials, I say that and that we can't go in there.

Standing w/guy inside a small room, a trailer, looking at a set of shelves along the wall. The shelves are filled with the logbooks of the guys who work at the facility. There are dozens and dozens of these books all stacked and piled up on these shelves. I see initials printed on some of these books, like "J.B.". As I'm looking/touching, there is an avalanche of these logbooks that falls down [things falling down= DS] onto the floor/into a bin. I'm working then on picking them up and putting them back in place. It's going to take a long time and I don't want to finish the task, I'm looking at the pile of books in the bin and decide that there were already a lot of them there like that so I just stop.

W3: SB red hair
In a room with ex-GF SzBntn, she is very short [shorter than waking], and she had short (just to top of traps) very orange, light orange hair. It had a slight curl to it at the bottom. She was walking away from me in the room, and she was complaining about her dissertation. (I come up to her at a table, lean on the table, and say "how can I help"?). There is a row of professors standing in the room.

W3: Locker room & washing machine
I'm in a locker room [DS] walking along a row of lockers looking for mine. Some lockers have grates on top of the door, a fine mesh like a screen door mesh. It seems like my locker is not here, I don't recognize it even through I'm standing in the right spot, maybe they put a grate on top of it? I reach for "my" locker and apply a long cylindrical key and open the door.

S/A some guy using a washing machine to wash the (blood?) out of his clothes.

W3: Super deep pool
I'm standing at one end of a massively deep diving/swimming pool, 40 feet or more deep. It is long and rectangular and set outside in daylight. I'm thinking that swimming at the top of this will be like flying. I'm in the pool, and I see floating nearby my yellow [true] swim goggles. I reach for them several times but I can't grasp them, on the third try I finally can grab them. There is a short rectangular "warmup" pool area in the middle of the short end of the big pool. I'm in this, there are other people standing nearby, I'm thinking S/T about this warm-up pool.

W3: Fragments
Conversation about "What books are you reading?" I'm answering this question, I name some books, they all seem to be fantasy books, (I see the pile of books before me?)

"Reprogram the fate machine because it's free" -- there is a machine (that controls fate?) that is controlled / parameterized by burning incense sticks (?), we come across this machine, and there are no attendants, so we can use this opportunity to reprogram it [weak memory, forgot this at first, even after reading this phrase, finally came back]

W4: Wiring Outlets
Standing outside a trailer/apartment, there are new people (immigrants?) inside it, a man and a woman, of modest means. I think they're going to redecorate, that they have rolls of material (blinds/wallpaper?) that they're going to use. They are proud of their modest home. I'm looking in at them (just the woman is there visible) through slatted blinds. Then I'm with a man (same man?) and we're wiring and installing up a pair of electrical outlets. There is a central screw that holds the outlet into its box/frame and I discover that installing this screw really makes the rest of the installation easier. He asks me if I connected the "return" line, and I say I didn't, because the outlet is already connected to ground. He says an expert really recommends connecting this line between the outlets because it provides a "return path" for the current. I think that sounds like a good idea and we should do it if it was recommended.

W4: Pick up cake [DS]
Outdoors in a group of people on some vague concrete walkway (bridge?), someone is sweeping up pine needles/pine cones, and I move to help/take over and pick up and remove this pile, but the organizer of the clean-up directs me to remove the desserts that are on the side. There are two (chocolate?) cakes on the ground, on a sort of large sheet of chocolate that is already melted in to the concrete, I need to scrape up this base layer first before I can move the cakes. There are little edible decorations on top of the cakes like little flowers. I'm moving these cakes off to the side. A small dog (my dog J?) comes and sniffs around and will probably eat these cakes, so we need to better take them away, somebody offers a cake box and I start to pack the cake into the box.

W4: Ordering Fast Food [DS]
I'm in a city back in the US (Seattle?), I think now that I'm back here I can order some fast food [DS] like Taco Bell or Jack in the Box, but I "know" it's close to closing time so I'd better order delivery quickly online using the computer. [visuals fuzzy]. S/A not sure which city the restaurant is located in.

W4: Fragments
Theme of doing something in a group of young people (making a bomb or other small objects?). I'm holding some object in my hand, a drain piece, and I'm checking it for leaks by feeling all around it and trying to detect and dampness.

  1. 02:25 b/r, no recall, up a LONG time (see above), about 2 hours

W2: Office Laser Tag
In a dark office, running around between cubes, playing laser tag? Or something more serious? [Memory has faded on details and how intense it was]

W2: Morning After Party [DS]
I'm walking outside with my dog G, we come across something on the ground I see is a dead skunk and something else perhaps, I say "No, G!" when he starts to sniff around it. Walking farther, I hear voices coming from the other side of a fence I'm walking along. I think these are the voices of drunk people still partying from the night before. I come around the fence and see my wife L (?) in a fairy godmother dress, she "snaps on" the front part of this dress as I watch. I'm jealous, I think she's been spending time with other people.

W2: Billiards
I'm lining up a shot on a billiards table. I'm standing at the left corner of the table and leaning over the table with my cue stick. The cue ball is still rolling from the previous person's shot. While still rolling I start manipulating the cue ball with my cue stick positioning it for a good shot for some balls on the far side of the table, aiming for the opposite (far right) corner. I think this may not be quite right, and as I think this someone says "hey, can you do that? was there a foul?" I ignore this and keep lining up my shot but am not hurrying it up a little. I stop positioning the cue ball and plan to use strong left English to make the shot, as my desired object ball is very close to another ball and I can't get enough angle on it, so I decide to try to use "throw". I position my cue on the extreme left side and slowly stroke. I end up double-tapping the cue ball, and the shot is weak, so that no ball hits a rail after contact. I know this is a foul and that my opponent will have ball-in-hand next.
[strong recall of this scene because I woke directly form it]

W2: Fragment
Something outside with people?

W3: Stuff on Street
Outdoors, city street scene, daylight, I'm walking past garage metal tall shelves full of stuff. I realize that this is MY STUFF. I see little items like the little round pieces of my sprouters. I think how could my stuff be here outside, everyone will steal it! (I get into a conflict with some guy over some item and we fight? [unsure])

W3: Dinner at P&M's [vague]
I'm at dinner at P&M's. S/A the floor is very slippery. I hear my dad's voice talking, I concentrate on it and realize it doesn't really sound much like him? But it sort of does?

W3: Intimidation
Some people I'm with want me to intimidate somebody with a car. They give me several steps to perform: 1): drive up quickly to him like I'm going to hit him; 2) While my car is hovering over him lying on the ground, I'm to gun/race the engine loudly several times; [2 more? forgotten]; (honk the horn?). I am viewing my car from outside a few meters away looking at the front of it. I think this intimidation plan is a terrible idea and I do not want to do it.

W3: My car is wrong
I'm getting my car back (bought it back? from service guys?), and I'm looking at it with other people, and there are things wrong about it. My friends say "where are the 2 other doors?" (I "remember" the car was a 4-door), I look at it and see yeah this is only a 2-door. I'm starting to think they didn't give me back the right car, (or they changed it?), inside, there are various buttons/switches, but not very many, the controls seem too simplified to be my car.

W3: Traveling with L
Wife L and I are sitting at a table in big city M, I think, "after all, why shouldn't we travel? We could go to M, and to other cities". My son S2 is there, I'm asking him, in a foreign language, "how did you like city <city>?"

W3: Driving in car
Some people and I are driving in my car, and 2 other guys each in their own cars have had something to do with my car, like they performed service on it or something. I think they may have increased the top speed of my car too much. I'm in the back seat with someone else, it's actually like the way-back, a long narrow seat like a bobsled, and I'm trying to strap in with the seat belt, both of us. The other two guys speed on ahead of us, I see looking out the front window, they're driving things like go-carts, very low, open, wide wheels, and I think they're driving 130 and 150.

W3: They'll find you
[waking up thought?] I think that no matter what country you try to run to and hide in, the intelligence agency will be able to find you. If you leave the country for too long.
