A welcome return of more wild & wacky dreams, night of the flashlight: flashlights everywhere. Nice detailed recall of a number of different scenes. Super vivid/bright/stable but only seconds-long LD to finish off the night.

00:06 pre-bedtime. family drama, take 2mg melatonin to aid in getting to sleep

07:46 (maybe earlier wakings? Some recall from them? don't remember)

+ With members of religious group, the artifacts we want are down in the caverns. Going down into the caverns, we're actually on an expedition to the desert ruins. Two people step on an elevator pad about 2 meters long and barely 1 person thick wide, it starts descending into its well, I decide to hop on and hope I won't get stuck, I have to turn fully sideways in order to make it down (I think we'll come back up this way later?). Step off the pad and head down a hallway, encounter a sticky jello trap where some people are drowning in the jello, some are getting out, and I reach my hands forward and help pull people out. I say "I think this is here to trap the animals coming in from the outside."

In a crowded hardware store aisle that turns a 90-degree corner to the right, at first I think we'll need water bottles for the desert and look at a few, they're quite small. Then I'm looking at flashlights and trying to choose one. I'm concerned about the batteries they take because those pesky "C-cell' batteries are so hard to find. The flashlight I'm interested in looks to be a C-cell size. I'm hoping to find a D-cell flashlight. The one I'm looking at has a place for an odd rectangular-shaped battery, someone tells me "that's a D-minor battery".

+ I'm standing at the edge of a swiftly running large/deep river. I can see into the water clearly. At first some very large clumps of vegetation float by, I see many blades of grass waving about from the clumps as they quickly float past me (the river flows from my right to my left). Then I see some *really* big scary-looking fish swim past, and I scream at the top of my voice to my friends who are already in the river "THERE ARE GIANT FISH COMING! GIANT FISH!". I'm waiting for a moment when nothings swimming past so I can enter the river and float down. I see from the waterfall to my right (which is flowing in reverse: from below up to the top) that a group of white seals are coming past. I see one in front of me then I jump in the river and hope to hang on to the (friendly?) seal as a raft, but it avoids me.

I'm flowing down the river and I'm surrounded by these skittish/nervous really large white blobby "seals". As soon as I get right behind one or close to it it scoots away. We're heading towards a city? I see a very large gray hippo is now on my left, I pat it's "nose" and it nuzzles me with its huge head. I'm concerned that this thing could be TOO friendly and squash me. I scratch its face some more as we continue to float down the river.

+ I'm lying down in a some small long area like a camper at the top of a pile of (mattresses?) There are some small kids down below me (friendly or not, unsure). I have (or they hand me?) a large long, heavy, sniper rifle with two scopes: one near the handle (normal place), and one about 75% of the way down the barrel towards the tip. (There's someone outside the building I need to shoot?). The trigger/finger guard has lots of sharp little swoops on it. I'm trying to line up and use the sights. At first nothing, then I get the second line flipped up and I have a very close up view of someone on the other side of this room. I shoot him? Someone says "careful that thing can kill someone!"

+ Outside, some people are talking (man/woman?) that they need to turn on the ground water system. I'm in a 3-meter-on-a-side square earthen pit, and the pit starts filling quickly with water. Someone sinks under the surface and I grab his hands and pull him/her out. Then I pull out a flashlight and toss it out of the pit. I'm then looking for the flashlight I saved, and I find it's been opened and the batteries are missing. I'm trying to find out who did this and eventually someone admits (two different people?) that they each took one of the batteries.

I'm heading out to the remote post with salad, I'm carrying a tall pile of deep mixing bowls [WL I like to eat salad from huge mixing bowls], people are laughing at me for taking all these bowls but I say it's really convenient, great for mixing salads.

I'm outdoors it's dark/night scooting fast over ground on a powered office chair that moving me towards my remote outpost, the chair stops and I think it would be great if the chair could give me a ride all the way to where I'm going. I'm surveying the land in front of me, it's a large grassy valley dipping down in front of me then climbing up on the other side, there are (moonlight?) light patches and dark patches. I resolve to move in the dark patches to avoid discovery. Up ahead around a boulder I sense movement and think it's a threatening panther [day residue from DV thread on confronting scary DCs/animals] it moves really fast and I try to face it but it manages to flank me and get behind me, I keep turning and then notice that it's a man. I'm waving things between us to keep him at bay. I have a flashlight that's turned on and wave it at him like a lightsaber, he sort of smirks at me and pulls out a flashlight, I say s.l. "Oh so you have one, too." Then I'm with the guy in some store, he's a clerk selling some sort of women's make-up, the guys say I'll need it to get past the women further along the path, I realize the entire system is a scam to get you to buy things so you can travel without problems.

+ I'm sitting on a couch in a home, and TiZi as a small girl (face is quite accurate) comes up to me, I say "Hi, T!" and she says "Hi, <my name>!" and she comes and sits on my lap straddling me and we hold each other in a long, tight hug. I'm amazed she's this friendly. She says to me, "I love you!". I wonder what people will think if they come in with us in this position.

I stand up and see PZ (something about the objects in their home?). Then I see ToZ, I'm a bit surprised to see him his hair is now entirely white, we shake hands and say something.

later:
+ I'm in a utility room, my with face in front of the door of a front-loading clothes washing machine. There's a woman's blue blouse in there, and other clothing, I'm looking at the other items to make sure they won't color bleed in the wash, I say to the woman "it's OK, they're all pretty much blue".

In a crowded back room there are a bunch of people, including a guy who's in my way. Back to the other room, someone is calling out, "who lost their laptop?", there are small netbook/laptops placed here and there on a high narrow shelf that runs around the border of the room, none of them are mine and I know I didn't lose/leave it anywhere, so I say they're not mind. A guy shows me a pair of glasses that were lost: the left frame and lens are about half the size of the right side: o_O, very odd looking glasses, they're not mine.

+ In my grandparent's house [recognized after waking up], look down and see I'm naked,

Spoiler for 18+:

stuff my (ahem) in a girl's mouth for a BJ, after a few seconds I then lie her on the floor on her back and continue thrusting in to her face. It's vague without much sensation (not to mention sort of rude)

my sister enters the room and I stop.

+ getting a stroller put together for a trip, "where's the surprise snack?", "pick anything you like"

+ (LD #105) I walk out on to my childhood home deck, the geometry is not quite right. The railing has been removed (they're repairing it?). It is bright daytime. The ground/backyard is far below. I strongly feel like flying[DS], I recognize this as a dream sign, but everything is so detailed and vivid and bright and colorful, I'm a bit concerned about falling, so I do a few hops into the air to check gravity, and on the 2nd or 3rd one I notice I fall back down a bit too slowly to be awake, so I stand still and prepare a solid nose pinch, concentrate [I don't want any ambiguous results], hold my nose firmly shut, and I can breath, now I'm fully lucid, I eagerly step to the edge of the deck to my right, I see below on the ground all sorts of bright detailed plants, large white flowers, trees, and step out and start gliding with my arms spread wide. I'm really happy I got lucid: it's vivid, bright, beautiful, and completely stable, "I'M LUCID DREAMING!" I shout in joy, and instantly wake up… O_o
