08:30 (?) final waking

"What was I just dreaming?" is magical. Went from nothing to all these scenes, they just started flooding in. I love dreams

+ crazy racquetball: an angry mob invades my court, they want to take it from me, I stand up to them and they back off

+ trying to find my way back to my court, it's moved into a ridiculous area with about 6 "lanes" each one about 1 yard wide is supposed to be a "court" with people playing a game there, I'm teaching my mother to play she hits the ball the wrong way, as I'm setting up to show her the right way (you have to bounce it on the ground first) I realize the floor is grooved so the ball bounces strangely, a black guy borrows my racquet and hits my ball way the heck away across the street, which really pisses me off, I should make him go get it.

+ some guy is letting a live fish go into a lake, it's a large strange looking fish, it was being cooked previously in hot water, I think it may not survive, maybe the cool lake water will revive it, and I think it's probably against the rules to let such a strange fish go into the lake

+ I'm swimming through the murky water and regret letting that weird fish go, I imagine all sorts of weird slimy fish will be brushing by me

+ setting up a barbecue in old boy scout friend's RB's yard, I'm advising on placement, no not next to the house, put it out here, but rain might get on it so we should get one of those portable tent/cover things, a kid is poking his fingers into the electrical socket by the BBQ, I see sparks, and I think he's going to get blown across the yard by a big shock

+ I don't want to be the boy scout leader, they choose an adult instead, he comes and pushes his way into my place at the table which is laden with lobsters and other food items and he leans way over the table and really tucks in, I see a bucket of funny looking candy canes across the table I choose one which is chewy and delicious

+ I'm cooking porridge for the boy scouts (notice a theme?), I test it with a ladle which is dirty, it had ketchup on it, I see the ketchup get into the porridge and start to spread through, starting to turn a bunch of it red/pink, I try to get it out with a clean spoon, I pick up a spoon of the thickest ketchup/porridge and blow on it and want to eat it, I think they'll all complain about ketchup-flavored porridge, it turns into small shells of pasta and there's barely enough in there for one or two servings.

+ approaching McDonald's in a car, I'm in a hurry to get in ahead of the crowds, many cars are pulling up, I notice the power is out inside the restaurant, the power is out everywhere all around in stores but the street lights are all working, I think why not tap into the street light circuits, the manager inside has the same idea, and they start handing out orders, there are hundreds of orders backed up and people waiting, I think this will take forever.

+ I'm thinking about playing the saxophone, the reed for my instrument has been chewed/bitten down to where it's not playable, I drop a fresh reed into a shot glass of water to get it soaked in order to play

+ a guy I don't like is playing piano, I admit he's playing well, I think it would be good to play some lounge jazz, he's playing nice improvisations, there is music with a lot of notes on it, but if you know chords well you can just play arpeggios.
