I woke a lot, 4-5 times at least this night, most fairly early. Strong intention before bed made it hard to fall asleep, it took probably 30 minutes or more to fall asleep, I had to use backwards counting and full-on relaxation techniques to get initially to sleep.

+ there are two fat cats, I'm admiring them, I think they look like the cats I had when I was a kid: one tabby, one orange/tabby. I'm standing in a doorway (outside?) and my wife is nearby. There is a bowl of cat food attached to the top of the doorway via some magnetic mechanism. I pull it down and (some spills?). I need to pick up some of the wet, gooey pieces, I do this with my fingers and put them back in the bowl?

+ I'm standing on the street outside CH, it's dark, my Jr. High best friend DD is there. We're accusing each other of something. I get up into his face and say "WHEN DID I *EVER* FAIL YOU, TELL ME ONE CASE!!?" and he mentions something about 2002? I then retort and say "what about 1990?". Then I feel like reconciling with him and hug him and we're rolling on the ground and I'm sobbing loudly so sad at being mad at him. Then the guy's who live in the M's house drive up and head towards the driveway which we're lying nearby, I look up and the car is looming over us and moving to run us over. The car approaching replays once or twice, it has a large, strange bulbous front right bumper.

+ [long, vivid] I'm looking at a map and thinking about an airplane flight from (Seattle?) to some other city. I'm drawing on the ground the path of the trip, it crosses some date line and so the trip as flown that way takes two days. Some women (flight attendants?) are nearby commenting on this. Then the view is me looking down on a large folding map [DREAM SIGN], I'm trying to find (Seattle?) on the map. I'm opening and unfolding it and see large bodies of water which I "recognize" as the lakes near Seattle (?) but I can't find what I'm looking for. Then I start thinking about our family trips (with my parents) and how we'd ride for a long time fast without stopping and that we'd cover a lot of ground that way.

Then the map is looking over a town on a (river bank?) and I see drawings of old fortresses. Then the scene becomes 3D and I'm flying DO up over the road, there are farming mansions along the left side, and my (wife?) says how horrible it would be to live right along this busy road. Everything is very green including the road. There are ruts/wheel tracks in the road, and cars moving along it. Then I see animals walking along that path.

Then I stop while in front of me I observe animals jumping high into the air and twisting and landing: they're doing "parkour" off the top/middle of a short humpback bridge pointing in my direction. First a cow jumps high, twists and lands, and then a sheep jumps high twists and lands. I think this is pretty odd. Then a horse tries and it barely gets off the ground and falls in a heap off to my left on the side of the road, and there's a (dog?) there and the (hose?) is licking it's wounds and feeling it all over for broken bones?

mid/late:

+ I'm in some home/mall and ahead of me to the right a girl suddenly throws up violently (looks like only water though) and collapses to the ground. A few people are around her. I calmly approach and take charge, while I imagine everyone else around is paralyzed in shock or panicking. I say calmly but firmly, "call 911!". Then I say "someone get a wet towel and bring it to her." Then I'm standing at a sink and washing/rinsing this towel while some girls stand behind me, watching.

+ I'm in an outdoor small bazaar, and the chain around my neck is fastened to a climbing carabiner attached to the (belt) of a guy in front of me. I fiddle with this and get unhooked. I'm quite nervous and am attacked by a guy, and fight him off? Then a second guy comes at me with a quarterstaff with multiple blades on both ends, I grab it in the middle and use strength to stop the blades from hitting me. I make some fast movement and the guy falls dead, his head cleaved in half and some large blade/cleaver still stuck in there. I move to the far edge of this area and I'm desperately scrambling to try to get out. I try climbing up some cloth structure in front of me with a knife for traction but the knife just slices through the thing.

I end up climbing up and at the top of the walls I see three areas spread out before me: to the right there is a calm waiting area where people are sitting quietly, to the left there is some heavenly area with little (cherubs?) walking around, and in the middle hallway area is a sort of hell/demonic area. I notice the (cherubs?) approach a (priest/altar) on the left and for a second their "pants" fade in and out.

+ I'm returning "home" with my gang and we're climbing up a steep ladder, a (midget?) guy who I feel sorry for is in front of me. Suddenly he turns and kicks me squarely with the bottom of his foot right in the middle of my chest, a very strong blow. He does this a second time. I don't feel so sorry for him any more. We're gathering some things and heading out again. A friend of mine tells me to hurry up, I'm gathering things like my coat and I retort "I'm getting the stuff I need, hold on!" Then as we head out he decides not to come and I see him get into his bed and he wishes me good night. I leave out a side gate to the sidewalk and there are some cub scouts sitting around the front porch who see me sneak out the side and snicker.

There are some people walking up and down the sidewalk looking for things on the ground. I see an interesting coin and pick it up. I end up with 3 strange coins, one of which has grown to the size of a pancake, they're old/valuable/rare. The guys who were searching for the coins come up and start bugging me to give them to him. After a while I realize I don't care about 2 of the coins so I give them over, but I hold on to the "pancake" coin and say "because I paid 1000 for it".
