I tried "The Phase" DEILDs approach this night, didn't get me lucid but made me much more aware more quickly on every waking.

+(f) climbing the tree at the LHS? Was interesting but pretty much gone

+ car, mom, dad, mazda, turns in to mustang, low windshield and seats (cut head off on windshield?) I wonder if I'll fit in the seat, put on my seat belt, (dad gets in the back seat?), powerful engine the mustang is barreling up S ave. "64 people died" in accidents on GPB, explosions in the distance

+ in the (trailer?) at the gang headquarters, punished members buried alive up to their necks and their heads used for target shooting, grenades, etc., I can see this happening outside to the right, the heads are jerking around as they're hit by bullets, and the grenades are landing far enough away to cause great pain but not kill the buried people. One of the guy's heads is covered on the back with what looks like wooden/tree mushrooms

+(f) walking outside in snow? <my instrument>?, walking outside to another building and encounter a family of skunks, the immature ones

+ combo lock chain, outside, enter ,concert hall, AnMa playing electronic (oboe?) sounds like my instrument, he's rehearsing a concerto, his mother RoMa is sitting nearby among the orchestra's folding chairs. People come in talking during his practice performance and I repeatedly "SHHHH!!" them to be quiet. I'm wondering why the sound this thing is producing sounds like my instrument. AnMa is also holding a computer circuit board next to the thing he's playing.

+ We're prisoners, and I'm whispering in another prisoner's ear (I switch from the left to the right to avoid being heard) that I know a way out (from previous dream), the lock leads to a stairway over the strip mall, I look in the distance and see the strip mall, the stores and signs. We go for an escape I have my backpack and another bag, I drop them in a hallway and go back for more medical supplies, I grab these up in my hand and head back to the hallway: my backpack is GONE, it's been stolen, I'm really upset. I'm trying to get outside, there are several very slow moving old ladies in my way and I'm impatiently trying to get around them.

I finally get out and climb up on to some sort of vehicle, like a train car, I'm thinking bout the acceleration mechanism on this car. I hear something about "PhD"s and climb up out on to the top of the train where people are sitting. There is a poll going on among the people on top there: should the train be driven by someone with a Masters, a PhD, or <some third option>.
