FryingMan

+ behind 3rd base with crimped hose. The runner is not sure if we wants to run (from 2nd to 3rd), I see a large tangle of hoses on the ground (these are from leaves on the beach in next dream scene?), and they are severely crimped.. I unfold some of the hoses and hear the water begin to rush inside the hoses. The runner hearing the water (I think) is more hesitant to run (since apparently getting him wet with the water constitutes an "out"?)

+ at beach, sticks, crowd asks what's those "m" shaped stand things? I say oh that's just for hanging up stuff to dry. "Great, now nobody will come here, that's such an uninteresting answer"

+ talking with (Ch Dw? Jo Ty?) while lying in bed under the covers (I think this is a bit odd), discussing how that group all tend to move together from company to company (he gets a bit offended at this?), he mentions that Russ has joined also, "Yes, our Russ (P)". They working with (language called) "objective S...." (something)

+ massive pile of construction debris on left, woman standing on tractor on right almost hit by falling sledge hammer. I'm walking/hopping on a row of pilings in between the debris on the left and the road/tractors on the right. Someone comes up and hands me a piece of debris (about showbox size), I bend down and put it on the right of the pilings, he comes up and hands me another, I put it also to the right and keep going. Then I reach the corner of the debris pile, turn to the left, and start walking along the edge of the pile, looking at it. It's really huge. I think man it must have taken a long time to dismantle all this, there's way more material here than I would have thought. The site is one I "know" they're working on, ahead and to the right. In the debris (which is at least 15 ft high, probably 100 meters long, and about 20-30 meters wide), I see large chunks of reddish brown tree bark, several feet long andd about 1/2 foot wide. I think that crumbling this would make good mulch for my garden. I see wooden boards/beams with a lot of nails in them, and then I see a construction of boards that catches my eye and I think I'd like to take it back to my place but I'm not sure where to put it all. It's a cage-like structure made of wood with a lot of belts/straps. A (woman?) is there with me looking at it. She says it's a cigar-roller.. I'm fascinated by the thing, imagine taking leaves of tobacco and turning them in to cigars. I want to try it out. There are several packs of different flavored tobacco leaves here, I open one an take one out and smell it: it has such a great aroma of spicy tobacco & cigars! [very rare, sense of smell in a dream I rarely notice, this is quite well perceived]

Super late bed time. Need to do better today.

+ enter some underground area, in a building below street level. With people (and EW) (in a church service?) [details faded after waking]. I'm sitting in theater-style seating [DS] and one of the women we're talking with sits on my left and puts her arm on me very suggestively and seductively as she's speaking to me, which I'm NOT OK with and I get very uncomfortable.

+ false [not awakening but "lying in bed"]: "hey, let us out!" I've laid down in bed and someone underneath the mattress starts kicking/hitting up against it and yelling out "Hey! Get up! Let us out! Hey! Get up!"

Late-ish bedtime (00:00), tired, stressed, no recall upon waking but dug hard and came up with about 4 dreams/fragments

+ outside daylight with people on lawn/yard of (home/building), it has a very high rolling hill on it which obscures the view in/out of the property, I'm saying this is a really big benefit as it makes the property more private

+ [f] climbing up on to some large rock with a group of people standing on it

+ outside daylight, looking at a distant rocky mountain slope, I'm observing it and talking with others about it, there is a portion which is a very sheer vertical rocky cliff (like half-dome at Yosemite but much smaller), I comment on that part. Then I'm looking and trying to see, I think there may be people practicing mountain climbing

+ [f] in some large outdoor amphitheater [DS] on a stairway, sitting on a log(?) with people?

+ orchestra performance, I'm there with my instrument, observing the sheet music of a flute player (to my right?) think to join in by just reading the flute player's part and harmonizing. Looking at the music I see unexpected clef markings: maybe it's tenor, but it turns out to be bass clef (odd for a flute I think!). It looks like an F natural (mid-range) so I play that. The entire sheet of music (flute's) is covered in whole-notes only, one per measure, gradually ascending and descending from bar to bar.

Today:

+ dark CH back lawn -- standing on the low steps of the back brick steps by the lemon, I'm surprised it's dark/night already, I "remember" being there just a short while ago and it being daytime [noticed transition from bright/light location?],

+ awesome beautiful large "office" in a lushly decorated, dark-wood-paneled home. I'm walking past one of my (workers? colleagues?) place my hand on his shoulder as I go past, and say "yeah, isn't this an amazing office!?"

+ fighting in store against dweeb who is very strong it turns out (Joel Duisman?) and may kick my ass, he is harnessing the power of his will and strength and is a formidable opponent

+ in a gym, lifting weights, doing lat pull downs, I want to work in on a machine where a woman (and someone else) are, but they're aggressive and don't want to let me work in

Previous several days:

+ "two north and two south stars" stars on the shoulder
+ the cabinet is tipping over, thinking about attaching it to wall with angle bracket, notice the large open area to the next room, it's in CH basement looking towards piano room

+ hovering/flying "contest" with Kev Rim [cousin], walking through "home" with large rooms filled with people and passage ways and doors opening and closing
+ walking with wife L into "roller coaster" park with very extreme but small rides, very steep, including wet water rides

+ walking outside think I see Crg Lee (fish, B, UW), look closer and it's Law Y (trp 5, Alb), he has a partner? I'm pitching them about a work idea? While walking we're on an outside girder system outside the building

+ baby with beard, large head, red-headed whiskers, I'm rubbing his head and I feel great affection for this baby I want to spend time with him [DS]

+ small kid climbs up on to a counter and takes a white plastic container (containing bolts/screws? metallic rattling sound) from a cabinet above him, I think this might mean trouble

+ playing pinball, quite a while, 1st person view, manipulating the flippers to catch/trap and hit the balls back to the playing field, I watch as the balls bounce around the playfield, enter ramps, etc.

+ in a large cafeteria-like room. I'm standing on the other side of a square column in the middle of the room, trying to avoid being seen by someone [DS] on the other side (EW?). I pick up and eat a small tubular thing like an egg roll. It tastes really good!

Super late bedtime

+ [f, vague] kissing a girl in the hallway.

+ food court, overhead [DO] views. Later, I'm filling my plate at a cafeteria-style buffet/food table. The dish is a "taco meatball" mixture. I see hard taco shells (traditional "U" shape) mixed in between the sauce/meatball layers. There are also large circular flat things that are either large tortillas or crepes. I'm digging in to the pile of the food and trying to figure out exactly what it is: burritos for tacos. The mix is a very saucy dark brown/red color with large chunks of ground meat

earlier:

05:00?
+ gym, stairmasters need to reserve one quick

+ card-throwing fight outside open fields/roads, engage, fight, then run away

can't sleep, roll around an hour or more, get up to read for an hour or two

Back to bed

almost WILD: I feel myself "fall asleep" or at least "falling deeper", perk up, see some images, a dream doesn't begin, so I just relax and let my self fall asleep

+ in house outside city, lots of very rough/dirty menacing neighbors are huddling around some on my property some across the fence in the neighbor's. I think I recognize some of them.

WBTB -- got up to read
[near WILD?]
+ [DILD LUCIDD LD#263] outside, I see boiling pitch-black clouds in the sky advancing incredibly quickly, I run for cover down long country roads
I'm indoors in a building with long corridors, I hear singing and voices, like a choir practice or a school classroom. I'm walking briskly along the long corridors and turn into a stairwell and begin to descend and get lucid. I'm very happy, at last! I continue descending the staircase, and I do a careful nose pinch to verify I'm dreaming. My and/or my nose feel a bit strange: sort of "wooden" or "stiff." But I can breathe. I engage the environment by running my hand along the stairway's banister, which is covered in something like floor carpeting (short & tight weave like a hotel carpet). I head outside, it's light, there are a few DCs mulling around, I spot a young lady and approach her. She's sort of walking away from me. There is a column outside and she sort of hides behind it, but I manage to get around it and get close to her. She seems sort of sad and not willing to "have some fun" with me, sort of shaking her head. I wake up and feel elated that I finally got lucid!

+ tennis: at the courts, outside, getting the balls out of the can 3-4, my play partner comes and leads me to the court we're going to play on. We're walking for a while, past a club room where a bunch of club ladies are hanging out (drinking wine?). One our right is a court but with trees and bushes growing right in the middle and I think that there's no way we can play on that! I see a court painted on the street a bit further on and think we might be able to play on that

+ casino(?). Sitting in a large reception area with a large-ish round desk in front of me, some other people besides me on my left, there is a large room through a door to the right (the casino?) which is empty but I think they may be opening it for operation: a large crowd of young people come in and head in there. Some are also heading straight ahead through a door which is across from me on the other side of the reception desk, there's a portable white board / cork board there (?), somebody says this is <something> about "B" High School, which gets my attention (that was my high school), and I ask "what was that?". Then I stand up and leave the area, in an outer area a former colleague (P.Jens.) drops his backpack which is open on a chair up against the wall, he says he always leaves his stuff here for when he returns later. I'm very skeptical and don't want to leave my (tennis?) stuff here, even though it would be convenient, because I wouldn't have to carry it with me, but I'm pretty sure it's not safe to store here.

late bedtime

+ football [DS] tickets (baindaids) , young team but run fast, standing on field, player runs past super fast (bionic man speed), super fast legs, hear super fast breathing as he runs past left to right. Standing on other side of field with really tall black guys (7 feet or taller) they're aggressive towards me, push me around a bit

+ sword fight with two guys, one is Chr Chen, I make some up close fist/leg hits, turn sharp spike at end of (spear) towards his eye, I win

+ someone jumping from/landing from helicopter/airplane, (bright light in sky), I think he'll hit the ground and be squashed/dead, but he lands and instead gets up and walks away looks like he's OK

+ in room with books (book store or cafe), best friend MR was leading a coffee buying coop club and he was making comments using 4-letter words

last night:
super late bed time, only impressions, no concrete fragments
+ [vague] with people, something about a camp?

2 nights ago:
Pretty big dreaming night, both early and late waking vivid dreams
later waking of course better recalled and more vivid/detailed

+ metro, map, small station

+ mom and mimeographed list
+ in "seattle", motorcycle (bad weather) in sports store think about uni class schedule (missing classes? or signing up?) baseball bats (make a mess), store clerk man standing to my right, balls/racquetball rolling on the floor on the ramp to the right
+ room with people/windows, outside courtyard, view of church w/no walls, (two-tone beige dark-brown paint)

sleep not great, recall affected by stress about world situation.
Fair amount of dreaming but got up without much digging so it faded
