Early memory very poor, and fragmented:

+ various scenes/fragments
We're trying to shoot a hairy ball into a box, and everyone keeps getting in the way, including son S1. I yell at everybody to get out of the way, I'm quite angry, and I wake up feeling very tight/anxious

I see that the guy hasn't mowed his fields, he's growing crops? On the other lawn there are a few tracks of a lawnmower but it too is mostly unmowed. Up ahead (down the childhood home driveway?) there are plants with thicker stalks growing. I say you have to cut them early before they get too established.

In some indoor space, come up behind a girl with lovely long hair, she turns around and she's quite pretty.

3rd person darth vader star wars battle with lightsabers, I'm jumping around dodging the blades?

about 5 hrs: can't sleep, out of bed at 6 hrs, up for several hours, back to bed around 8 hours, sleep until 13 hrs, making up the lost earlier sleep. BTS long and takes discipline and auto-hypnosis "getting more and more relaxed", etc.

After BTS dreams a touch more vivid but also highly fragmented and a bit weird:

+ tennis: arrive at the (apparently) tennis club car, find a parking spot close to the courts, pick up my racket and cans of balls and go for some private training time. On my way there I meet my playing partner [false]! I ask him since we're both here, does he want to play a match? He does. I put my things into the court and go to the edge of the court to set our match play time. Can't find it. Go inside the clubhouse and it's hidden behind a small whiteboard on a shelf.
[other stuff continues, forgotten?]

+ video game: the game starts, and you have to use the dual X/Y axis controls to maneuver the cursor to the linking (red?) square/circle in order to make it to the next landmark and initially to start the game, you have to do it by the time the timer reaches zero or you fall behind. Then I'm maneuvering around a 3-D curving lattice, hitting the sides which slows me down. My opponent zooms by me at high speed going the other way. He was clever and chose the path that went around outside this construct first and went through it backwards.

+ LD#162 (vivid, beautiful scenery) I'm maneuvering down a hillside outside in strong daylight. To our left is very mountainous terrain on the other side of an extremely tall chain link fence. We want to get to the beach level, we don't like being so far up in the hills. Another state (Colorado?) is on the other side of the fence. I look over to the left, at the fence (man that's a tall fence), and at the hilly bumpy descending terrain several times. We see what we think is a good path down, and we rush forwards. The ground just stops and there is a very steep fall down hundreds of feet to the ground below. The terrain below is still not what we want, it's very marshy and still hilly. I barely hold on to a pole right there at the edge to stop myself from falling down. My dad is still standing right there with me. I hold the pole with my right hand and try to lean out so that I can survey the coastline extending far up to the right. Yes, there is flat beach land there, that's what we're looking for.

We (jump? fly?) down and we're in a city street scene outdoors still daylight. My dad and I are going to go into some store/restaurant. Up ahead I spot two lovely girls in bright/fancy gowns/dresses. One is putting up her hair briefly, this immediately catches my attention. I tell my dad "wait, (I'll be back/I'll be a sec/something?)" and walk towards the girls. Out of habit and desire I do a nose pinch RC and I can breathe. Wait, what!?!? I'm dreaming? I must have gone to sleep once my dad and I jumped down here to the street. But I don't remember taking a nap! I'm still approaching the girl, and holding my nose closed and doing quick in/out breaths, yes, nose pinch is very clearly indicating dream. I tentatively reach towards the girl (now turned away from me with the other girl) and touch her shoulder and slowly turn her around towards me, just in case this is a mistake. She turns towards me and looks at me, she's pretty. I put her arm up over her head again and kiss her, pull back so as not to lose the dream, run my finger up and down her shoulder/arm a bit, looking at it, then look at her face and say "You're beautiful!" She says "Thanks!" and the dream fades

+ wheel a woman in wheelchair into and out of a tiny elevator

+ at top of very long snowy slide, no way I'm getting on that, it'll kill my back when it levels out at the bottom. Looking again at it towards the bottom, it is divided into shelves one above the other, kind of pointless I think

+ at a table with my (new wife?), her mother says one thing you should never give a bride is ground pepper. The food we're eating needs pepper, I pass the pepper grinder to my wife and grind out a bit, the mother comes over and looks into what I'm doing, I don't care about her stupid superstition
