FryingMan

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

early:
+ metro, map, small station
+ outside hill S2 tricycle handle turn control marble loop on wheel
+ police car passes car of teenagers, side swipes it
+ come home, view table with large selection of marinated raw meats, trying to put something (newspaper?) into a short drawer it won't fit
+ (later?) with EW and NadAru they're both smoking


later:
+ car stolen, rant about how people in "this country" only want to hurt, rape, etc.
+ 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

early:

+ dad window

+ [something]

+ crowd outside, aggressive (animal?) morphs into angry short ugly Karen in from of L, I force my way between them to protect L and push the woman away

mid?:

+ need to put the cat in a crate in the kitchen to keep it from peeing everywhere


late:

+ sitting on a couch with a (retired marine?) with the marine's motto song playing in my head

early

+ [dug for recall, finally some came, assigned two keywords, but forgot by morning]

+ son S2 is doing some complicated build and his build screen pops up on mine, tons of colored text is scrolling by very quickly

later:

+ driving, both brakes and acceleration are weak, swerve to let drivers pass, approach marin tunnel from B side, on foot at intersection, crossing, girl with see-through pants, guy talking about how he's a (professional game player?), she thinks it's not good, I agree, we're talking. Later I'm telling people about how my (country house outside boots) were getting caught between the pedals and the wall of the driver pedal area.

+ tiny alligator, large alligator & alligator catchers, alligator-man (who would eat a baby), store shelf with colorful items including mole sauce/preparation

+ store girl, I think I know her she comments on jeans, sushi buffet, chinese dumplings and rice bowl buffet, crowd appears just as I approach, I've lost key and money? Costs $20

+ [f] fiddling with electronic components that aren't working right

+ [f] inspecting a collection of small tapes (like DV video recorder tapes) that I know have the recording of many voice calls of me talking to Cam.Ed., they're I believe "sweet talk", I think listening to them will be annoying because I do not like the sound of my own voice on recordings

+ outside in nature with trees around, we arrive to dock/shore leave at a lake, while making the approach there is a view of a young woman on the left making repetitive movements (and digging in the ground?). Come to lake, walk out on dock, then with cousin PaRi standing on tall/large boulders amongst a bunch of such boulders in the lake, looking down in to the water, reminiscing with him about diving into the water. We're talking about how others don't use a good jumping/diving strategy (?). I think about (say?) how one dives and twists appropriately, thinking that if you don't jump far enough outwards that you'll lose skin off your chest as you scrape along the boulder.

paint spots (red/green/blue) appear on ground in a pattern, I know this is part of a "native indian" ritual. Look up, there is a large group of them moving slowly on the opposite hillside (leading down into the water) from left to right (generally towards me). I look at them and they don't look particularly Indian, rather white instead, one of them is directly in front of me, stops and waits, and I move aside out of his way and he continues on.

+ walking outside daylight, straight road, heading to meeting(?), paths/nature to either side. There is "naked guy" who strips his clothes off & gets naked, and sits down to sun with his back against a rock/tree/wall, I know he always [fake memory] suns naked in this spot every day. I think how uncomfortable it is to have this naked guy around and within view.

I see off the right a bit further on in the direction I'm walking, a man preparing a picnic/meeting spot for his sweetheart, but she is not there yet (she doesn't know how to find it?). He has a bottle of champagne and there is a tree stump or seat there, which I think they're going to use to take (racy?) pictures.

Not much farther, off the path to the left, I see a young woman whom I know is the one with that man, she has also set up a meeting spot with a bottle of champagne -- they have miscommunicated and aren't able to make their connection with each other.

A bit farther and I'm with (friends?) fishing. I'm casting a line out in to the water and reeling it in. As I'm (or someone?) is reeling it in, the single line multiples into 6-8 parallel lines all getting reeled in. Then someone else casts a fishing line to the right of these lines and I say "no, no, they'll get all tangled!" and I anticipate a mess of the lines getting tangled.

Then I'm indoors and I am reading from a (prayer?) book, I'm supposed to be reading prayers? I'm thumbing through the book and I can't find the right page where I'm supposed to be. The prayers I see are all very long and I don't want to be reading those. I hear a multi-note tune and (am told?) know that this is the tune for the prayer that must be repeated over and over while singing the words. I need to be praying for some man?

bedtime, ~00:15
final waking: ~08:00?
out of bed: ~08:30?

early:

+ at the pool: drink, water on deck, crawl race, swim faster/harder, win

mid:
+ [vivid] enter gate to lower bridge section with 2 men, piano room on left, ancient piano, hardly any keys, some foot pedal/keys (like an organ), another piano in another room, hear piece, then sit and play it on the few keys remaining

late:
+ meet stunningly beautiful young woman on street, we speak, I have to wear a hat, huge floppy rim about 1 meter in radius, "well at least this'll get me my social distancing!" I say

+ [f] scene outside a building, I'm putting something down (a bicycle?) but I'm worried about blocking the building's circulation intake filter which is right there

+ I'm a political consultant, some official with weird bloody gums is getting advice from me

early:
+ car with Gore, talk about airline flight, chips/fingernail in hand, on high hill, take off gliding flying by LHS look left will do that later, wires/barrier at gate, land, climb fence, electrified, other guys, enter room, long narrow like gym, guys there, man with one tooth, move to far exit

mid:
+ in room turning on water boiler, (getting dressed?) thinking about its noise; Jn. E. outside day on her roof lying on top looking down (searching for me?) I see her from side, imagine loving her again, having sex with her

later:
+ wading in bay with S1 & S2, shells, they go below surface

latest:
bunch of short scenes:
+ S1 and S2 in room, I'm trying to read (email?) on mobile I don't want them to see, S2 curious bends face around to see screen

+ old dog L: see through window, with him scab on back, lying on cough he's very long

+ fireworks store with W1, kids let in only a few at a time, very popular, staff welcmoe to store, books as well as fireworks, I speak in for.lang about "book about fireworks" (grammar not quite right), think about what to do about W1 because there's W2 now, think about sex with W1

+ standing at corder of building: boarded and bricked up windows, then two-tone painted brown corner of brick building, dark brown and light cappucino, look at and notice the color

+ high on a platform outside, tossing a football with a guy on the ground. One lans in my area I pick it up an throw a decent spiral back he catches it, he's throwing it all around to different people, he's annoying people by tossing it around really hard like a quarterback.

+ outside, tall table, guy/friend eating (sushi? tall-ish green cone), I want to try, look for fork, all metal forks are dirty, go around to his side, see clean plastic white/beige forks available [didn't try it/eat?]

+ kitchen, clean it b4 hosts return, sink full of dirty utensils,
later, return: wall-embedded pizza ovens, sister, veggie(?) pizza on counters, eat, examine ovens up close, complex cooking elements, cook surface surprisingly small, ovens (there are two right next to each other placed at about eye level) extend into the next room over (also a kitchen room)

On the return to the kitchen I'm there with my sister. there's a tall island counter piled with dishes/trays/baking sheets. I notice there are a number of different types of pizza there [DS] and I'm thinking about eating a piece. I think it's veggie pizzza and that it's being saved for a guy who's a vegetarian (?). It's pathetic looking pizza: flat, sort of smashed looking, with no toppings really to speak of. (I find one that looks OK and take a piece and eat it??? not sure). I'm looking closely at these pizza ovens that are embedded in the wall of the kitchen at about eye level, there are two right next to each other, they're different shapes, but both are wide and short. They extend into the next room I know which I can vaguely see as the wall where the ovens are stops a bit to my right and I can see beyond into the next room. I'm then closely inspecting the baking sheets and the cooking elements for the ovens. They look really small, barely large enough even to fit a personal sized pizzza.

I'm in a large kitchen in a house. The owners have left, and the kitchen is pile with dishes, etc. I want to clean it up as a nice gesture to the owners. I think that leaving a nicely wiped and uncluttered counter would be great. At some point I move to the sink and start washing the utensils there. There are many utensils like forks, and the sink is filled with water, and I start washing forks with a sponge.

hear vehicle arrive outside, go look, large white van has arrived in car port

+ kids' soccer game outdoors, one kid in-bounds in wrong direction

+ eating tub of noodles at (all-u-can-eat?) restaurant, ask for water, waitress, water dispenser, brings used water glasses, tiny/sad shrimp?

Make an order of noodles at the counter of a restaurant. They deliver a large tub of brown-ish noodles (like buckwheat noodles), I'm worried that they're not going to deliver the tasty sauce that I'm anticipating. They do deliver it but eventually but it looks disappointing: a sort of a saucier version of the noodles themselves plopped on top of the pile of noodles.
We go to the table to eat, I ask the waitress (she's on my right) for a glass of water. There's some issue with this and I get frustrated that I can't ask for a simple glass of water. I see that there is a water dispenser right next to the table (on the right) but there are no glasses, just a few (dirty?) white scoops, like the kind in laundry detergent boxes stacked next to the water dispenser. The waitress brings water eventually, a glass and one of the dispensers, but I know they're not clean (brought from somebody else's table?) so i don't touch them and she takes them away. The waitress brings by some pathetic small piece of fried shrimp. I'm not impressed with this place I'm sure I'm not going to get the benefit of the "all you can eat" policy. I notice the noodles on the plate are gradually disappearing.
,
+ "spider?" long web on wall insects moving around on it (large moth?)
(sitting on the floor?) indoors, sort of dark/dank basement surroundings, up against the wall is a (low bookcase?), and underneath it is hanging some sort of thing. I keep trying to see it more clearly, and eventually I decide it's a big juicy spider [DS]. I never see it clearly. I get closer and notice the web is like a shelf that runs all along the underside of the top of the furniture that's against the wall. I see something in the web, get closer, poke it, and it moves around fairly freely, it's like a large moth. It (or something else) then scampers to the left down along the length of the web away from me. I think it's not a very stick web.

+ outside daylight suburban neighborhood walking sidewalk, tall trees casting shadows, I'm naked, observe delivery man taking large white appliance to house on right

girl in park?

bedtime ~23:45 Loooong falling asleep, probably 00:30 or later

04:00
+ in gym [DS], lots of weight plates, woman?, needs more space, view opens, gym has bought neighboring space, wide open area blank with rectangular building about 50 yards away, the name plate has been removed but the outline is still there. That's the new space for the gym to expand into

mind very active, can't relax, right side very tired from previous sleep cycles, left side not comfortable.

05:40 took valerian, actively worked on relaxation and quieting mind

10:10 woken by wife, we had errands at 11:00

+ billiard balls in multi-level outside environment, interacting with people

+ [vague] white dog in back of van, petting & praising him

+ driving on steep roadways (bridge trellis?) [DS] drive up, u-turn [not entirely legal], back down, steep, then left turn to drive onwards

+ in amphitheater like space [DS], trying to acquire/steal binder which is full of horrid pornographic contents [words/stories], there are many such binders around, man emerges from office on higher level and says something to me

+ some odd sexy-time scenario

bedtime: ~23:30? (before midnight)
final waking: ~08:30?
out of bed: ~10:15

early:

+ [vague, impression] basketball in TV park [DS! Frequent recently, need to daytime MILD on this!]: 3 deflated orange basketballs?

+ outside, park, twilight/dark-ish light garage door opens nearby, begins fight/chasing scene [vague, forgotten]

mid:

+ walking in evening through an open area, on the left is an LED artist: he makes artwork with LEDs. The colors are bright and vivid. Blue, purple, red, all the colors. I come upon a guy and girl who are also selling their LED art work, these are functional objects which have integrated electronics which drive the LEDs. I think about the guy (I think I know him) and how he has used his electronics knowledge to create these objects.

Scene shifts to a couple (man & woman) lounging around on a large (circular?) open bed area. Their clothing slips as they roll around to reveal breasts (male/female, not sure...). The man is complaining that it's been a long time since they had sex, he specifically mentioned he wanted "oral" (didn't say giving or receiving, I think the former, but it could be either), and that, because of the day (of the week?) being what it is (he is talking to her), she knows that she needs to dress up as a stranger in order for him to be able to "function."

+ driving in car night: look up at sky, cloud moves in front of moon but there's a hole in the cloud allowing me to see the moon. Remembering the LED art dream and telling my fellow car travellers about it

+ standing outside, up against the trunk of a large tree in, nature. There is an object/being on the ground, and strange plants/ flowers all around. Suddenly the light vanishes, and the flower are glowing and look very menacing. They curl over / envelope the object/being.

Water is being poured/moved from one container to another. It's done improperly and I think the water is now not safe to drink.

+ standing on street with (woman? wife?), observing the recently completed asphalt repairs. They were done horribly! The asphalt is a mess, nowhere near flat, it is forming large waves and hills/valleys.

Further on there is a car/well. Inside the car (old Toyta?) it is filled with water. I lean the car over to the right several times to drain out the water, which runs out the right hand doors of the car on to the ground. I'm thinking/talking about a well structure which is in the center between the front and back seats.

later:

+ in limo, telling people there about another story (earlier dream?), the subject/idea of tapes (VCR?) comes up [vague]

+ meet rich girl (deep voice?) on HC outside the Man' house. Go over hedge to her house. HUGE yard, lawn massive and rolling over acres, big house, and in the distance, a large body of water

+ in a mall, at top of escalator, waiting for the highspeed mini-transit train to drive by so I can cross its path without getting hit

+ [very vivid] on bus[DS], shaking hands with people, they're congratulating me. My dad comes up I shake his hand, I think this is ridiculous and hug him. Get off bus, walking along sidewalk. Daytime. Road to my left. There is a large crew of young people pruning the trees/bushes on the sidewalk. They are harvesting a particular type of flower (light violet color). I see some trees have been pruned down to the bare trunk, I think that this may be over-pruning. Walking along to my right there is a hillside that slopes (medium steep) down to the path. There is about a 6 foot height to the base of the hill from the sidewalk (so you'd need a ladder to get access to the hill). There are vegetable gardens packed together on the hillside. Mostly green onions. I think about going and plucking some from there. Walking along, and noticing all the vegetable plots. Then I think that I'd like to go to the market, which is on my left, where the vendors are who grow those vegetables, and I could buy some produce from them.

+ [impession: playing/thinking about chess]
