+ on the ocean:
walking/driving along a (pier?), I notice to the left the ocean water is crystal clear, completely transparent, I can see fish swimming [DS] and I call out "slow down, I want to see better". To the right, there is someone swimming in the water near rocks and a boat is near to them and might hit him [DS, personal phobia]. Continuing walking through area with people indoors, there are small pools of odd animals. One is a basketball-sized frog-thing called something (forgot), and another is a baby stingray. I play with the baby stingray for a while and scratch it's "chin" and around its mouth, being careful to avoid the stinger.
I continue walking and reach the end of a corridor at a glass wall [DS]. A few feet beyond the wall the ocean begins, at a depth of about 4 feet, the water is clear but is full of plants like seaweed. I think this is a research station where divers leave the building and can enter the water to observe the life there.
Spoiler for girl stuff:
I've left my group behind me and am returning on my own. But I hear the voice of one guy in my group coming up fast behind me. I see him now and notice that he's walking and talking with one other guy who is very tall (giant?) [DS].
+ playing guitar, I'm thinking about the fingering, starting to play a piece with vibrato on the left hand, but the high E string doesn't respond correctly, I determine it's too loose, I tighten it up and find that it is now perfectly in tune with the low E string.
+ I'm holding a baby, I love this baby, its soft warm skin, I think it's my grandchild (?), someone says the baby's family name is <something>, I say "it is also <my family name!". Look down at its face, there is a large red growth in one of its eyes, a woman (my wife?) pushes this thing down into its eye, what are these things in its eyes? My sister appears and says that they are "vacuum channels" in the eyes, used to help the baby eat. The baby opens its mouth and there are strange anatomical things in there.
+ bowling, my small ball is stuck in the return system I go to get it myself and examine the mechanism, can't get the ball out from it, worried about getting my hand caught
+ space ship vs. ground, explosions in both places, I'm floating in between observing the battle
+ work 1: people are complaining that during a personnel review meeting (for promotions?) the meetings always end up degrading into personality bashing sessions, I'm talking about it with them and trying to understand the issue
+ work 2: my director reveals that he's been secretly working for a different company for some time now, that he's very unhappy with the current company, and that the new company is working on a great product, talks about it for a bit and I mention that it is like "company 3"''s product that will go "click click, click click" when it turns on.
