+ hunt, chasing two animals, one a (rabbit?) with severed ears pumping blood; the member of the tribe who (harvested?) glass on the prairies, I see some glass crystals and point them out

+ [long!] follow car down hill, read its license plate, young tall blonde woman gets out near a gate, we must speak carefully because "they" are listening, I ask what's going on, she was driving to a conference and was captured and put to work. We're at a gate and there is some automated robotics that manipulate the controls to open the gate.

Inside down in a bunker a guy who's been there for a while is taking me to my workstation, he's bringing a big box and he's putting it under my desk next to my tower PC. I don't want it there because it will interfere with my feet when sitting under the desk. He's telling me how I need to physically turn off this box when I leave or else it will begin gathering information about me and feed it to "them".

I'm standing in a room with glass windows out to the outside, a rolling hillside. We're drinking beer? There is a distinct thin layer of fog at a particular elevation on the hill just outside the window and I point this out to the people there and watch it for a while.

In an outdoor garden with people, one guy we're with starts behaving really weird and foaming at the mouth and out of his hands. I say "what's going on with him?" Another guy says "he's (summoning? transforming into?) the (cucumber beast?)" The beast materializes on top of the fence running around this yard. This thing just needs to touch somebody, and that person immediately starts to disintegrate. I'm freaked out by that thing and I jump up in the air and levitate around watching the ground and calling out "is it gone yet?"

In CH walking in between dining room and living room, I know I'm still in captivity. I'm talking with my (cousin?) I'm back in the dining room and someone mentions the captivity and that it will be long and I freak out and start hopping back and forth from foot to foot and practically scream out, "I'LL BE OUT..." (OF HERE IN A MONTH I want to say) but I"m interrupted by someone loudly shouting "SHHHHHH!!!!!!" so that I don't speak so that the captives hear my plans.

+ casino: I'm in a casino trying to get set up to play blackjack. It's pretty dark. I have a vague friend with me. There's a counter we're standing at at the end of a long room where they're setting up tables. My friend wants to watch the game on TV and is complaining that there's no TV in this room. He's being stupid I think because we've managed great conditions: only us two will be playing at this table. I tell him, "This is IDEAL for us!" hoping he gets the point but he is still unhappy and I repeat "This is IDEAL for us!". I see them setting up a table in front of us, small and straight/rectangular, and a bit below our level, not the usual kidney shaped BJ table.

Now I have a close up of the table in front of me pratically with my face in it and the dealer is standing to my right and haded me a dual pack of cards and I'm shuffling them, they don't perfectly shuffle together and I need to push them together with my hands. Then I'm handling my money. I'm handed two wrapped stacks of bills. I plan to play $5-$20 so I try to pull out about $100 in $20 bills but the bills sort of spread over the table. I ask for $5 chips. I get chips and I look at them and they are marked oddly, some of them are "$35" chips, and some of them are hand-written with wording and $35 written on them. I'm suspicious of them and ask about them.

Outside the casino there is a sign from the head of the casino about which games can be played by (card counters?), and which games they'll be killed if they try to play, I can't make much sense out of the sign.

+ intersection: I'm driving in traffic approaching an traffic signal. There is a building on the left that in an "L" shape. The traffic is think and I hope to make the light. As I get to the intersection the light turns red again and I see police waiting by the building to the left so I stop and wait. When I can go again I drive forwards and now I'm on a scooter and bank to the left and up against the short edge of the "L" part of the building around the corner so the police can't see me, I think this is probably not a legal parking place but I fit in here so easily that it should not be a problem. I see my wife out in the road and she walks a loop and comes to me.

+ LD#187. ...I'm out on the deck of my childhood home [major DREAM SIGN], it's dark/twilight, I come back in to the dining room through the sliding glass door and get the feeling/idea that I could enter the dream state by force of will, which I don't completely believe. I get a smile on my face and turn and run back out to the deck for in order to take of flying, now lucid. I stop at the railing and things are unstable. I'm flailing a bit for solidity and decide to put my face up close to the top of the railing and stare at it. I do this and it instantly comes into very bright, vivid, stable focus. "Whhoaaaa" I say as I look at the grain of the wood, and the "specks" of colored (sand) that are sprinkled around it. I remember my LD goal of looking down from the deck into the back yard, and I look over the railing. The yard is there at proper distance below me, but the ground looks "pixelated" with a frequent repeated computer-looking pattern/texture. I walk to the left towards the corner with my head still looking down to the garden. I think about standing up straight but I decide to keep my eyes on the garden below as I continue to the left. I see the wide brick stairs come into view. On each side of the steps are ceramic pots with plants growing in them. I notice how the perspective changes properly as I walk. The yard is super vivid. Then I reach the corner and look to see the lemon tree, and there it is right in front of me, bright green leafs and yellow lemons all over it. It is too close to the railing, I could almost touch it I think. Then suddenly, without looking away, it's seemingly gone, but I realize it has returned to its closer to waking position.

Content that I've done this goal I start walking without a plan back to the sliding glass door, and the idea strikes me to summon my college GF. I'm at the corner facing the house and I reach my right hand around the corner and don't look to my left and try to feel for DB taking my hand. I pull my hand back to me and look, at first I don't see anything but keep imagining that I see her and a girl appears in front of me. She's cute but doesn't look anything like DB. I will her to look like DB and try to bring up DB's face in my memory to install on the DC, but it doesn't work. I give up and decide this is DB. I step up to her and give her a nice solid kiss on the lips. As I pull back I notice that my father is to my right on the deck, a 40yo-50yo version of him. He's sort of dancing around in a silly way and leaning back and looking at us and he says "Heeewww! Heeeeewww!", I ignore him and turn my attention back to DB.

Spoiler for slightly sexy time:

I have DB up against the railing and I ask her "why didn't we have sex?" [when we were going out]? She responds something like "I made sure that we didn't." I say "well, why don't we have sex now, this is a dream!" and I unzip her top. I'm trying to get her legs open and bring out my (ahem) but she keeps crossing them

... and I wake up.
