+ tahoe, water, crayfish (toe), around to back, talk more about Tahoe, crayfish (bucket means a meal), "you can't take them out because this is a national park". I see back behind me in the sun on a volleyball park my mother (old) and another woman playing old-person volleyball, but my mom does an impressive overhead smash serve. More and more old people playing volleyball. Some young people throwing net/blankets over the net and I keep trying to pull it out of the way. I enter a room there's an old many there. I go to a toilet in the corner and lift up the lid, there are drops of urine there. I notice in a room through a door right there an old woman peeking at me as I prepare to pee, I move around to put my back to her to block the view as I start to pee, I notice there's a ribbon on white along with the yellow that leaves a pattern in the bowl.

+ Outdoors, physical education teachers/coaches are laying out devices for a training session. I think it will involve running laps. I start a methodical/plodding jog, I notice I'm wearing a bright yellow college (C) sweatshirt and I think I will probably sweat alot in it. I'm running counter-clockwise on the track. There is a group of "cool" thugs/bullies who mock my running style and laugh at me. Around the far corner of the track they accost me and I push one of them aside and make to fight him. I try to keep going but they bother me again. I yell at them "are we here to do sports or do stupid things?"

+ LUCIDD 210 LD#210
I "wake" on my back in bed and suspect I'm dreaming, do a nose pinch and get lucid. I have no visuals, and it's really hard to get up out of bed. I move slowly not wanting to lose the dream. I somehow know that I am in my CH living room. I finally stand up and make an effort to open my eyes, expecting to see a Christmas tree in its traditional location in the corner. I get really hazy visuals and sort of think I see a Christmas tree there but not decorated and I move on to the dining room. I think of TOTM and recall "walk with your head" and think how I'd do that but don't think more of it. Then I remember bring a person from 200 years ago, I recall my planned person, Mark Twain, and I think I will find him behind a door somewhere. I think I should go open the front door to see him.I spent the rest of the time fading in and out of lucidity. I go out on the deck and have an amazing high-def view of the city below, so much detail that I think I can't possibly be dreaming, and if I tried to fly it wouldn't work. I keep walking around the house not really noticing where I'm going and with no particular objective except to keep doing nose pinch. It seems I can't breathe, but there is a small bit of air escaping each time. I keep doing it for a while trying to determine what the result means. Then I find myself lying on my side back in the living room and lookin at a bright orange shoe box on a bedside table. I decide that if the box moves/levitates to my mental command that I'm still dreaming, but it doesn't move. Later on there's a long non-lucid sequence involving a tiny puppy/miniature dog that my old [deceased] dog L tries to pick up and throw over the side of the deck, the puppy leaves puddles around the house and I yell at my wife for buying another dog without asking me first.

Time is about 6 hours. Work on recall. Remember the LD which I'd forgotten at first. Lots of noise, wife movements, hard to get back to sleep. I do a full-body relaxing scan starting at my feet and frequently lose my place, that's good, I'm probably close to sleep.

Collection of brief fragments over the next couple of hours. Moments very vivid and present but short, and don't recall all of them.

+ many moments, a lot forgotten

dog, then dog in car

on the playground trying with a group to get a girl to do something, I show her that the little objects are (not scary?). They are very strange little shaped things, I look at them and poke them with my finger

Making a milkshake for my son at a counter. There are odd deep ice freezers which create cylinders of ice which are used to make the shake and the freeze the milkshake contents. I have my arm deep in these freezing containers and feel how the ingredients have frozen solid. I think that we're using a lot of this ice and we may run out of it, I see that the women who work here have several cyilinders of ice pre-frozen but I think that if there are a lot of orders that they can run out. I'm asking them "is that there the place where you make the ice?".
