FryingMan

mishmash from the last several nights:

+ tried out a (male organ) extension kit that involved tubes and splicing in "extra segments," it really worked, wanted to try out "the new me" with the wife, thought that all the extra tubing though would get in the way and be cold on her skin if it touched her. Definitely longer and wider with this kit, I'm impressed with the results.

+ [LD #265 DILDD] observing demonstration, I'm standing at the railing of a high balcony area overlooking a lower (15 feet) large open paved area, looking down, there are people walking around waving a flag, they call a question to me but I'm not sure how to answer. I feel a tugging at my pocket and immediately grab my pocket where my wallet is, in doing so I grab the han of a kid which is reaching in to my pocket I think to steal my wallet. I back away from the railing still grasping my wallet through my pants, I can't open my hand to get a better grip because I'm afraid I'll lose my wallet, and call out "HELP!".

I walk through some rooms, fairly richly furnished, wood paneled walls, look out the window to see the people in the parade/festival, look to see if there are any hot chicks there, see some, wish I had more privacy.

Walking through the people outside, there is a bunch of them gathered at one point, I try to move through the group but a man shifts his position blocking my path, so I have to go around. I notice a woman prostate on the ground with (her daughter?) riding her on her back. I move forwards.

For no particular reason (I feel completely awake) I do a nose pinch, and do a double take because some air leaked out. It wasn't the usually completely free flowing of air, but I know that any air at all is a dream sign, I try again with a similar non-definitive "stuffy nose" result. I decide to test gravity by jumping up, and indeed I am a bit slow in returning to the ground so immediately determine that I'm dreaming. I turn around and head back along the path I was walking, as aI wanted some "fun" encounters with the ladies I had passed earlier. I soon come across one dressed all in green [?], engage a bit with her, her face/body are distorted. I jump up to phase through the ceiling, get a little bit stuck but make it through, and I'm in a large sterile corridor of some large building. I look into one of the rooms I find and it is a sort of staff break room with vending machines and billiards tables. I decide to try out some elemental control so try to shoot out lightning from my hands against a wall, the effect is weak but definitely something is there. I will it to be more lightning-shaped (it was more like straight grey line segments), then I say "be yellow" and a tinge of yellow worked its way into the coloring.

There is a DC enemy that I need to fight, so I belt-summon my lightsaber and turn it on, I'm a bit surprised that the blade comes out a jet flat black color. I swing it through the DC imagining that it's slicing him to bits but as usually I seem to meet absolutely no resistance and it seems not to be doing him any damage. We go back and forth (he's on a flying Green Goblin-like scooter/board?) for a while, then I turn to make a run for it along a roadway over a fence, frequently looking backwards to see if he's still following, I think he probably still is...


+ (dark/night) checking out the smashed wing windows of some cars, there were small, sometimes triangular shaped breakage patterns on the glass

+ riding elevator in large building, someone else is in there with me, the elevator tilts fairly steeply to the left (30 degrees) for a moment and I feel us moving sideways. I explain this to the other passenger as being the horizontal movement of the elevator from side vertical shafts into the cental main vertical shafts, and think / say that this is a very efficient way to manage the limited space of the vertical shafts. It's fairly dark in the elevator. This happens a couple more times, then with a large jerk we're ejected from the building backwards into the air high above the ground, and begin orbiting the building. We're being swung around wildly like an amusement park attraction. I'm fairly nervous about this. I can hear the yells from the car near to us, they're enjoying the ride, hooting and hollering things like Oh, Yeah!" and "Woohoo!". I wonder what is holding us in the air, at first I think it's nothing, but I look outside the window and see a very thin and weak-looking wire attached to the elevator car running back in the direction of the building. The whole thing is like one of those "multiple wheel ferrous wheel" like this:



Suddenly I'm on the ground, looking at some scraggly cats with someone else. (I see a stack of old line printer printout?). I walk back to the base of the tower, to an elevator, this elevator is to the (apple? oak?) area which is not where I want to go, a young couple gets on, I go around to the other side of the building, and there's another young couple that jusut wants to make out and they move back around a corner for privacy.

+ a priest is using a holy hammer (large, like a maul) to stamp symbols onto some (famous) blessed mushrooms growing miraculously between boulders

+ walking along the shore of a clear-watered lake, looking into the rocky shallows and see crayfish scuttling around [dreamsign]

+ [f] need to ride an airplane home, visiting someone in a large industrial workshop

+ stealing (borrowing?) a luxurious power boat, driving slowly out towards the sea, there are many shallow places and get stuck

+ playing racquetball (?) in a court full of obstacles [DS], lend another player my shoes?

+ I'm a new diver-harvester, using a knife to cut away large chunks of meat from large underwater "shellfish". I'm trying to figure out where to start cutting. I start cutting and begin pulling away large sections of a white-ish "meat" attached to large rocks under water. At one point I realize I'm deeper below the surface than the length of my snorkle. Despite breathing OK, I panic a bit about this and return to the surface. Returning to the boat in which our team of divers arrived, I see it is partially filled with water, I think we're going to have to turn it over and drain out the water before we can head back to shore in it. On our way we stop at a seaweed harvesting spot. It is the meeting place between two tributaries, where the seaweed grows densely. I and another guy (who's the veteran) wade in to the water to harvest it with our hands, right next to the shore. I pull up up large piles of the stuff. I think I'd never want to eat this seaweed, as I consider this place very dirty/contaminated.

Later [another dream?] I tell someone how I was able to breathe underwater with a short snokle....[and maybe about how that was a good time to RC?]

Sense of lots of dreaming, one lucid!

earlier:
+ in partially mirrored bunker/room outdoors among wild animals (bears?), thought I was safe, but aggressive (horses? donkeys) open the doors with their mouths and swarm me

+ walking through museum exhibition of large electronic components, these are systems I worked on I think, I want to take my picture with one huge one, colleagues think it's not a good idea(?). The one I want to take a picture of is a standing rectangle: I see lots of computer boards, it's about 5 feet high and two tables in length.

later:

+ arrive to parking spot, see a young man in a boy scout uniform and think I recognize my old patrol's shoulder patch, think about my son

+ [f] driving on freeway, a red car crowds me out of my lane from my right and I swerve left, thinking I'll probably spin out and crash, and wake up with an out loud verbal exclamation, "oh #$%^%!!"

+ DILD LUCIDD #264 try to get into hotel room with crumpled room key, there's a hotel employee there, I'm saying "do I need a new key?" I head to reception via the stair well, I see deceased EW coming the other way up the stairs, not strong emotion, just a thought of "what are you doing here?", at the next landing I see that there is no wall in front of me but I'm very high (100 feet or higher) above the lobby, it is a very large open volume, with people mulling around walking to and fro. I just know I can fly so I step off the platform and float, get lucid, very happy that I'm lucid, did a nose pinch and could breathe, hover there a bit, stand for a while on a wall (90 degrees to the wall), then I float down to the lobby floor

+ home in CH, want to fly, don't want to be seen, go up to street, take off flying, left at FL head down towards AV, look to left at L's house, see through 2nd story window guy there, see people in their houses as I fly down FL, at the AV intersection I see there is an open (no roof/walls) area in stead of a house, like an office area with tables and rooms, farther along at the entrance to TV park, there are two people, one of them is holding a (my instrument) (playing it? I play it and it sounds better?)

+ theater, management is out, want to sing karaoke, go to (organ/piano) keyboard, can't find page with the music I want, look in index for "We are the champions", can't really find it, open to page, ask a person to my left to hold the page open for me, they won't do it, I say sarcastically "are you doing something else right now?"

+ through gym/pool entrance turnstyles, enter cafe area high seats put my food on the table, a plate with three pieces of pizza-sandwich-like things, an employee walks by and swipes one of them and eats it, I'm outraged, I follow him around and demand he replace it, that he give me a "Chateau-briand [steak]", and he answers "Hah, and you'll also want a Lafite with that?!" I answer "Yes!"

+ enter room see LW I thought she'd be sleeping but she's practicing guitar, sitting down her back is to me

+ in club area with (Den from WalFiPal) at a table, I'm touching/switching on a "disco" light that projects multicolored lights up to the ceiling

+ [f] see MarRbk at some cafe, think I've seen him earlier,

+ 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

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?
