WBTB long up time (tried short but didn't make it back to sleep) but eventually BTS (back-to-sleep), pretty weird dreams all night

01:00 pre bedtime

04:22 no recall

06:00

early:

+ searching for suitcase (green with red stripe), find it, prepare to repack it

I'm walking around rooms looking for my suitcase, it's the "green one with the red stripe around it", I see many suitcases that I have in WL but they're not the one, I eventually find it and wheel it around, it's pretty heavy, I may have to re-pack it?

+ guy takes a second sip from the girl's soup spoon: this is the secret of winning women's hearts

A guy is taking a sip of soup from a girl's soup spoon, then quickly takes a *second* sip of it, I think that extra unexpected sip is the secret to a woman's heart: it shows spontaneity.

+ climb up onto a giant elephant-like beast with bags of hundreds of acorns/pine-cones, observe the story about the creature that eats then poops out fish for the natives to eat

Outdoors daylight, large strange beast like an elephant, huge bags of acorns/tiny pinecones has been prepared. Up on top of the beast there is a narrated story, of how some native people's never used to be able to catch fish, there is the example on the right where no fish are caught, and the left where fish are caught. A narrator says "they would never catch fish until they discovered (the secret)", which is that there is a strange creature that very easily catches little fish and processes them through its body and "poops" out small fish/larvae that is stunned that can be easily captured. I watch in fascination as this creature does this several times.

+ my wife wants to go into business with some partners, she says "$4 million is not enough, we should raise $20 million," I'm skeptical that any VC will give that much for a simple furniture store venture.

+(f) sex

Unfortunately this vague, I do recall a naked girl and some abstract intercourse (things don't fit? Typical for non-lucid sex) but the memory is really sketchy.

07:00 ? get up for WBTB?
07:26 back to bed

08:00 ? can't sleep get up

08:30 ? back to bed

11:18

later:

+ in a strange place I hear my parents voices, they're turning home I'm really happy and run to meet them

+ tired/exhausted girls work long shifts

One girl I see in a back room lying exhausted on a cot in between work periods. Another girl is sitting down on a chair nearby, I think I see some nipples poking out from her tight sweater

+ retreat to the downstairs bathroom of childhood home for "private time" but now there's a window leading back into the house, eliminating privacy, this confuses me

I'm very curious about this window, it didn't use to be there, I see that it looks back into the hallway by the stairs to the basement. How odd. This window ruins the privacy of the bathroom.

+ bunch of families are going on vacation from the core home, guy hits me on the head hard with a pipe by accident, come up into a room that is really a front for a covert military force (they're observing from across the street); driving crazy in the street have to make a 3-point turn, driving up a road paved with pizza boxes, rifling through boxes looking for leftovers

The (3?) families who live/are visiting in the core home are heading out for vacation. The vacations are all close by. One of the guys is going nearby, I see "it's what, only an hour away?" He says yes. I say "it's great that we can visit these places which are only a few hours away." I'm on an outdoors stairway, the other guy is swinging around pipes and it ends up hitting my head really hard by accident. I'm stunned, and contain my temper instead of getting really mad, I just stand there still for a while.

In a room, coming up some stairs, it's sort of an outdoors area that I thought used to be a store, but it was empty, and I see across the street there are guys inside a building with weapons, they're guarding this area? There's a leader woman there.

I'm driving in a car, vehicles are driving fast and I'm trying to pull a U-turn, I don't make it I have to make a 3-point turn, vehicles are coming fast, but they don't hit me. I'm then driving up a street that is lined with pizza boxes. I think "did we really eat all that pizza on the weekend? How much did that cost?". I reach into some boxes looking for some leftovers.
