dreams fading away rapidly after waking and moving. Need to return to the basics. Increased water intake during the day guarantees water waking at night but the downside is it sort of inhibits recall as the need to go is pretty urgent so lying quietly after waking is almost impossible. + walking through large building, it's like some huge conference. I enter a room that is a large open dormitory. Rows and rows of Beds/cots (placed end to end with aisles in between them) covered with white sheets raised about 3-4 feet from the floor are packed up against each other. At first I wonder, are they a common big bed? No I see as I get closer that there are delineations in between the cots. I see that people have rolled up their belongings and placed it at the end of their bed I wonder if they will kick this stuff off during the night. UPDATE for nap: + I go through the movie-theater turnstyle/detector, it beeps at me, I continue going but the ticket taker calls me back to give her the ticket. I dig out a small white stub from my pocket and give it to her. She asks or the original ticket/receipt, I take out my wallet and find it and give it to her, mumbling about how I already paid and have a valid ticket. She says OK and gives me directions to my screen but I don't quite understand and ask for clarification. (continuation?) I'm looking for the attraction which is like the Empire State Building, it's an amusement park. There are several cartoon-ish architecture buildings ahead and am not sure which one is my "ride." There is music coming from the one on the right so I decide that's it. I arrive at the top of a stairway leading down to the ride passenger boarding area. There is a clown/mime dancing around waiting for the next passengers and I'm the only one approaching and I feel a bit silly that he's doing this or me since I'm, an adult, riding this ride alone, I always used to do this with children before. The train is about to pull away? I get in to a free seat in a car where there are two women in the seat in front of me and the thing takes off. (continuation?) we're in some dark cave like place on a ride, the vehicle moves into a low room and hugs the walls making two right turns and descending towards the exit, there is a sloping bowl leading off down to the right, I expect that the main door will open and the train will spill us out into the bowl, we are then sliding around in the bowl colliding with one another and I"m thinking the results of this game were known ahead of time (?) + I'm upstairs, the piano delivery guy arrives and needs his $1800 for the new piano I bought myself to learn to play piano better. My dad is anxious saying "well, did you get the money from <son S2>?" I respond "why in the world would I need to get money from S2? I have my own bank account!!"
Two nights ago: + I'm standing in my CH bedroom, night, in front of the window, looking out at the view, the air is filled covered ground to sky with a roiling dark seething cloud that is making its way towards me. I lunge for the windows in order to close them before that thing gets to us. (Lightning flashes as well). My son (as he was about 10 years ago) is in the way and I sort of trip over him trying to get to the window in time. +(f) Laundry machine [med freq. DREAM SIGN], I see my wife's light bright blue fuzzy jacket, and get excited thinking (she's back again?) + Wide open space: I walk up to a small band that's playing, mostly girls. The girl leader is standing among the players and is making use of a long transparent sex-toy. I'm not really sure I'm seeing this right, it's pretty surprising, so I move in for a closer look. I take notice of a seated girl playing the clarinet. Last night: Before bed, (too late again, after 1am), I'm scolding my son because he's playing a multi-player FPS and shouting to his teammates bothering everybody in the house. I pull the plug on the wifi because he's just out of hand. Go to bed, wake up, see he'd snuck in and plugged it back on, I get up and pull it out again and go back to sleep. So what do I dream about?...Let me count the ways (at least 3 dreams)... + I wake up and check the router. My son's apparently moved it entirely out of the room now, I can't see it. My door's closed and I try to push it open to find the router. The door won't budge. My son has blocked the door from the hallway, preventing me from getting out! It's solidly shut. I raise up a foot and press hard on the door, it's still not moving, and I'm concerned about the door breaking. I'm really worried about not being able to make it to the bathroom to pee. I head back to bead, disturbed by this. + I'm sitting at a computer looking at icons of the faces of the other people my son is playing the game with. I see thugly looking faces, young men almost all of them. I think aha this is why he's swearing when he's playing, look at all these lowlifes that he's playing with, it's no wonder. + FPS multi-player game, I'm in the game playing along. It's a massive shootout and CTF game. I'm observing fast-moving players with the flag, communicating, shooting, trying to time the flag cap just right and also trying to recapture their teams flag. On the end of a high platform I see a very heavy armor with a long, lance-like weapon preparing to fire it far down below into the battle area. I think of small light armors that could attack him? He fires and there is a massive flash and a big mushroom cloud roils up into the sky from below. +(f) with (Spock, Kirk?) Something Star Trek-like. + Outdoors, there's a large open-air flying disk with some guy in it flying at us trying to mow us down. We manage to dodge his several attempts to run us over. We get him out of the vehicle and start attacking him. I say "Doesn't feel so good, does it, to have somebody trying to hurt you, now, huh!?" He fights back with/we try to stab him with sharp pencils?
Well my "I guess I can go to bed whenever I want and still LD" night 3 nights ago was an anomaly rather than the rule! Short dreams last night (but very vivid! and fun!) and the night before (less vivid). Read some Holecek (up to chapter 6 now, MY FAVORITE: "A Fundamental Meditation: Mindfulness"!!!! 2 nights ago: + It came from outer space! I'm standing outside with somebody, and I look up in the sky and see several massive doors (on fire?) falling towards me. There's no way they're going to come RIGHT AT me and hit me, right? They keep coming. I dodge. +(f) outside daylight with a girl? and walking around a canal of some sort that makes a U-turn (rectangular) and I need to remember that (something was buried here?) +(f) inside people around I see a naked girl face down on a bed who is half-human half-doll, the skin is sort of life-like but not really? Another (same?) girl is a naked rag doll and I inspect her "bits" and they're made of cloth? Last night: + Outside, nature/village, daylight. I'm in a tribe of some sort and we're collecting wood? I don't have a phone and I won't be able to reach the other guys. I'm telling them I'm concerned about this, but I can't hear their responses, I keep yelling, "I Can't Hear You! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" I notice the trees, they are very special trees, one of them is quite old and blackened, they are all bare of leaves [DREAM SIGN] and have very gnarled limbs, like old oak trees. + Outside, daylight, nature (zoo?). I'm in the T-rex area! It's coming for me and I jump over a hedge/fence and run/slide down a hill. Have I escaped? At the bottom of the hill still in a park-like setting under tall trees so it's all in shade, (like Eucalyptus trees), there are Baby T-rexes here! Sort of half-human half-trex looking, about 2 feet tall with very sharp teeth, and they're coming for me! I run to a fence (fence is only about 3 feet high) and try to climb over but they pull me back in. I fight with them? And the really interesting part of the night: in the morning, lying in bed, recalling the above dreams, I remember that I wanted again to try The Phase dream entry (body exit) techniques. So, like in the video I had watched last night (with the weird/cosplay face hot model babe, skip to 41:00 for the technique): , I did the limb wiggle. I tried to "wiggle free" my dream hand and arm from my physical arm. I wasn't expecting anything because I'd been awake probably a minute already, and also had shifted a bit in bed probably. And it started to work! And suddenly, in seconds, I hear a massive rushing sound building in my ears! I knew this was REM Atonia building and I got really excited at this point. I was fully conscious and yet entering the dream state! The instructions say to try to exit (roll out, etc.) of your body as soon as something happens, so I did try, but I tried "too hard" and it was my physical body that moved and sat up in bed. Darn! But very close and very hopeful, especially considering this was the first time I'd tried The Phase DEILD dream entry in a long time.
Horrendous bed-time but I could sleep in. WBTB when son called from school in the morning and needed me to help him with something. That was about 6 hrs into the night. At 7 hrs I was really drowsy and decided to try for BTS and a WILD attempt. Early vivid dreams, too, around 4-5 hours probably. + playing concert, girls who are mocking me and following me, I take off my shirt and know that people have come to see me. I'm looking at my sheet music and I see the notes but it's not the piece I wanted to play. Back in "our house" with family I get a paper that my contributions have raised $12,000 for the organization, people really love to come and see me play. + I'm walking up to "my house" (PTL), there is a small trickle of water running down the street that is a "T" meeting the one I'm walking along. Two guys in boats, one in a canoe, and another in a boat, are some how travelling in their boats in this small trickle. I "know" them. I tell them "oh man, if I knew that I could ride a canoe here, I would have". Inside the garage in the home we're preparing for some work by a contractor/construction guy. The guy is middle-aged and is not wearing a shirt. He's talking about how hard his job is and he's carrying a heavy (door?) on his back. I'm on the landing/steps down from the kitchen into the garage and I move something out of the way (a rug?) and lift up one of the top steps, it's made of wood and seems worn away (rotted?) I'm looking at it and thinking it needs to be replaced, I'm wondering if the contractor can do it. WBTB - about 1 hour WILD attempt on my back. For a while I play with visualizing the letters of the alphabet: I find that I can see them when I focus on them! +(f) I get a short dreamlet/dream that I'm in deep ocean water near a whale (no visuals really), and I'm wondering if I should touch the whale's tail fin, or if that would shock it and would cause it to turn to me and attack/grown me. +(f) short scene: young Squidward (?) meets old Squidward. Old Squidward is lying in a bed under blankets. He takes off the blankets and it's seen he's wrapped in a bandage in his whole body and he has age-related sores all over the place. Wake briefly and turn to my right side and fall asleep. + (vivid, long) I am visiting HF (local friend) in his house (which is G's house next door neighbors to CH). I'm sitting on the ground, talking with H and a girl is there, I reach out to her playfully but H says that she had an "accident" (day residue) and needs to clean her. I move on to the living room. I look back and notice that H (father) is bottomless and I see his (ahem) briefly, I do a double take on this but think no more about it. An older girl is there in the living room and I'm thinking about (how I can get her to her room?). I say something and we move down the hallway. In this hallway I recognize the architectural layout of the house and realize it is the "G"'s house next to my CH. There is a room there and we go in, now it's a group of young people. I see many objects inside, there are food dishes stored on lit shelves. I remember a glass/dish of small bell peppers (red/yellow/orange). I comment that "this display looks like the dairy section of a grocery store!" and it does. + LUCIDD 229 LD#229. I'm (riding in a bus?) with young people, I'm quite happy to find myself surrounded by beautiful girls. (A brief thought of dreaming?). We arrive at our destination. I'm trying to get the attention of/ go with one girl in particular? We're walking up steps cut into the side of a steep hill (earthen). Approaching a right-angle turn in the path leading to the right I notice what appear to be large spider webs on the side (and straight ahead) of the path. I feel that I've walked into a strong strand of spider web I feel it on my forehead, I reach up to break through it but it's pretty strong, this happens a few times. Then I remember that spiders are a dream sign and I reach up for a nose pinch. Result ambiguous, I'm not giving it my full attention. I do it again and there is some leakage of air but I'm not yet convinced. I turn around and face the steep hill going down and decide to test my state by launching myself forwards down the hill and trying to fly. I do this and I'm a bit afraid that I may just be falling. But then I'm sure I'm flying and I'm lucid. I fly down the hill and there's the road at the bottom and I turn to the right and follow the road, flying about 15 feet above it. I'm looking for a girl. I see an unattractive woman below and ignore her. Then I see a young hot jogger heading in the same direction as I'm flying. I try to speed up to reach her, but she's pretty fast. I will myself to fly faster and thrust my fist forwards for speed and I reach her. I land [but don't remember our interaction]. Then I'm in conflict (fight?) with some guy. I don't want to deal with him. I make a gesture to force throw/TK him away. He is unaffected. I turn to him and do it again, again it fails. I think "Oh, great, what is this guy, is he going to hijack my dream?" I turn my back on him and ignore him and move forwards. On my right side is a tall stone/brick wall. I'm approaching a corner and I form expectation that I'll find a hot girl around the corner. I turn the corner holding this expectation and see one. I see a tall, short-haired, blonde woman (taller than my preference) who is talking on a phone. I move to her immediately and she looks a bit taken aback and I take her in my arms. I notice that her body feels completely solid. She is wearing some white suit. I start kissing her. She has really excellent soft ample lips. I pull back and say "I love you." Some more kissing. I ask her "I want to hear you say it !". She doesn't say anything. I notice her fair is very high def and clear. Move on to sexy time. Spoiler for sexy time: I lift her up and put her on a counter and enter her. I want to take a look at the action, my shirt is in the way so I lift it up and get a good view for a second or two, then weird things start happening like her body fades in and out and disappears all the while I'm continuing. I will her to return and she flickers in for a second then disappears, and I look down and I'm going at it with a disembodied vag. I wake after that and fall back asleep. + (fairly long, vivid) I'm in a dorm room of some sort very very wide with a lot of beds in it but not very deep. I'm on my bed which is against one of the side walls of the room. Agirl comes in with a boy and I know she's there to buy drug from him. I wonder at this and think "they're hooking them earlier and earlier." The girl is quite pretty with dark hair. The drug is a sort of lip gloss. I look at her lips and there is a bright, colorful pattern there perhaps like a checkerboard. I want to kiss her to taste the gloss but think I may get in trouble. There is another boy/girl pair like them nearby? Another guy comes in and his hands are covered with the gloss/drug material. I realize I'm sitting on my bed with lots of young friends, guys and gals, leaning against me and we're all lying in a pile. It's very comfy . I see through the open door some people in the hallway are looking in and I think disapproving. I call out "Hey, this is *my* room and I'm on *my* bed, so I will do a I like!" A stern matronly woman enters the room. She's not happy that I'm there I believe. The furniture starts getting rearranged (by itself), a bed is removed and a large grey/black couch shift into position next to me. Another piece of furniture arrives. I think she's trying to get rid of me. Then she declared "WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THIS GROUP!?" I know she's talking about me because I'm the oldest here but I do not answer. "GROUP #6 [another group] <is so great, they're doing wonderful..., etc.>". + a scene materializes before me, I realize I'm looking at a night time cityscape looking off into the distance. There is a lit, beautiful church in the distance and I see some other shape on the hills in the distance. These are places we're going. I call out to my two male companions that I see the first structure in the shape of a church cross.
To bed later than I wanted but not crazy late. Need to meditate before bed, and do LD reading. I need to start my "prep for bed" ritual earlier in order to finish it in time. + escape and rescue from Grampa's house. I approach the hedge/fence and hop/skip and gain speed and go into a gymnatic cartwheel. I'm thinking about that gymnasts do it this way. I cartwheel up and over the fence on to the side of the house. I enter the house, there is a child cowering against the wall where the dining table used to be. I lead the child out. I get everybody into the getaway car. I'm in a big hurry because I know the bad guys are coming. I rush in to the car and start to drive away but notice a child was left on the curb, too late, the bad guy is here. + ... I grab my friend from the back and fly into the air to survey the surroundings. Outside/daylight. There are many mounds/hills in a grid spreading out into the distance, things are sort of dilapidated. We approach one hill in particular and notice that long tunnels/mine shafts have been dug into it. We're both outraged by this and want to find the parties responsible for this. I land and there's a fight with some guys? + in a room, dark, with ex-gf SB, she offers sex, I think "already? again?" but go along with it because hey, why not. Sort of vague genital contact. I notice there are open windows, I'm concerned about being seen [major DS], I look out and see run-down women standing around on a balcony on the building next to us. "That's the drawback of being in a separate bungalow, windows all around". Another woman is looking in nearby. + in some common room in a hotel, there is a half-height fridge opened and I'm looking in, people in this hotel have taken their food/snacks and stored it in the fridge for later with their name on it so it would be rude to eat it. There is a small table to the left with a large dish on it and people have put (money?) in there to pay for the snacks from the mini-bar, the dish is full. I think "Only Germans would be so honest to reliably pay for the stuff from the mini-bar."
Got to bed before midnight! Yes! A fairly nice night of dreaming, too. Noticed wakings, realized I had woken (in several cases directly from dreams). Up at about 4-5 hours for bathroom break. Right back to sleep. Set strong intention before bed. Did red pearl in throat visualization falling asleep at bedtime. Early recall vague. Early: + I'm pooping in a stall open to the room in a public bathroom. The water level in the toilet is odd, it's now up to the rim, it's overflowing? Eek! I'm doing my business and things are "moving along," and I notice a guy standing at a sink nearby. Things get clogged and I have to reach back behind me and start pulling it out, yuck. The toilet is clogged and I have to ask for something to unplug it with. Middle: + Adventure theme. I save a girl from automatically closing blast doors (that slam down from the ceiling to the floor). I'm standing under them worrying about them closing and jump out of the way to the left just in time. The girl still has her foot caught and flattened a bit by the door. + Athletics: stretching with two other people (guy and a girl?). It's all about running fast and starting out quickly at the beginning. We're doing an exercise on the ground that involves pushing ourselves up and getting pulled by the friends. It's hard but I push myself up (on one arm?) and reach my other arm out, it's taken by the friends, and I pull myself up using that the rest of the way. + In an underground house complex set down from the street. I'm walking back (after the athletics above?) to the stairway. I see a guy I remember (son of the family who lives there?) lounging lying/sitting on the stairway with another person lying intimately on top of him. I'm trying to determine the gender of the second person, blonde hair, fair features, I decide it's a guy. "Yeah, I always thought he [first guy] was gay." Moving on, I go up the stairs to an upstairs hallway, (and am hanging out with some girls?) Later: + [long, vivid] I'm visiting the house of a huge family. Multiple generations of families live in this massive house. I'm looking for a bathroom and I head upstairs. I'm having trouble finding a bathroom and this is getting exasperating, how hard could it be? I open a door in a wall that I see reveals a parallel hallway to the one I'm in, and I think these are the "private quarters" hallway only for the families who live there. I see a far-along pregnant woman in that hallway who indicates that's off-limits to me, and points me to a bathroom in my hallway. I find a room with sinks in front of a mirror but it turns out to be a kitchen? There is a plate with a slice of pizza [DREAMSIGN] on it and I think about eating it? +(f) I walk past a kitchen counter (with stove?) of a house and turn the corner and I'm in an outdoor market. I'm thinking about this house being in the market. + Outdoors, night/dark, walking down a sidewalk, I encounter a (female?) police officer dressed fully in a heavy set of gear, with many things on her utility belt, walking the other way. I come to an intersection and am waiting for a walk indicator but notice that there are no working lights in the traffic light on the street. Continuing on a man walking the same way as me. I notice a group off to the right of people sitting at outdoor tables and I head in their direction. I see a pretty girl sitting at one of the tables, she has long, blonde hair. I do a nose pinch and keep walking towards the table. WAIT...could I breathe just then? Do another nose pinch, it's a bit ambiguous, but air moves so I conclude I'm dreaming. I approach the girl sitting at the table (and she's bald now? I don't care). I tell/will her to get up on the table and pull down her pants and say "show us your (ahem)". Her parents are at the table and say she doesn't have to do that. I lose lucidity shortly after that and don't recall the rest...
Bedtime TOO LATE again, argh! Started reading Holecek again from the beginning. + I'm outdoors in an unknown place and I'm calling/screaming out for my son S2 to answer me, I'm looking for him. "S2! S2!" I hear an answer and I'm trying to triangulate his location from the voice. I come upon a house and I see my wife standing on a level platform above street level, she's holding the leash to our old dog L and she says something + I'm in a house, walking around, in one room the floor is caved in in places, and I'm afraid I might fall through. I probe those places with my foot and the floor collapses entirely revealing some open wooden beams and a guy or two crawling around in the area under the floor, they're talking about the floor with me. Something about moving a heavy object.
Wonky bedtimes again. Must. Stop. This! last night: 2017-03-12: ----------------------------- More dreaming than the recall indicates. Need to return to voice recording upon waking. 3am bedtime must stop! It really suppresses dreaming. +(f) I'm DO observing my head up close. Lots of bald spots where thinning hair exposes my scalp. Odd shaped of head at the back (a big fold?) and I start pulling on it . + I'm with a group of young people and I want to get with some of the girls so I say to each one in turn "OK, it's you and me..." but each one had an excuse to decline. Previous night: 2017-03-11: ---------------------------------- Very vivid dreams tonight. Probably because of the better (1am) bedtime. Before midnight (and even 11pm) is the goal. + At CH on the deck I'm with unknown girl we vault over the deck railing and I'm trying to climb down a bit before letting go and falling to the back lawn. We're trying to get away (from being seen? [DS]), so we run through the adjoining neighbor's back yards. I'm sort of jump-flloating and know that I can fly, I'm wondering if I should show her that I can fly. I do a particularly long jump/float/fly and say "well it's the most effective way to move!" + I'm getting out of a car on GPB near AV in BH near CH, near the old mansion (MB, fast kid bully, indoor pool). I'm talking to someone (across the street?) whom I don't see about the weather. I feel the temperature, I know it is morning, and it's already fairly warm. I say "it's probably going to get quite hot today!". I recognize the location and look up to see the expected mansion on the hill. + I enter a house. I grab up a long fairly thick shiny metallic jewelry chain and carry it out. I know this is somewhat dicey but I feel I'm right to do this. I'm trying to avoid detection but there are guy following me. Eventually they confront me and I say "OK, FINE!" and plop the chain down on a table/counter. + I'm standing looking at a young man, early 20's, short brown hair, and I feel a strong sense of deja vu. I'm talking with him and saying "it's seems that we've met before..." He asks me "Are you one of the guys who was sampling my brother's pee?" I feel embarrassed right away because I "remember" [FALSE] that I am. But I had good reasons and feel like explaining them to him. + Walking outside with some guys, I'm in a really large pit/quarry with sandy sides. I'm walking on a ledge about 6-7 feet below the lip of the pit to the edge is just above head level. I'm trying to get out. I come up on a section there there is a very large outcropping hanging over the ledge I'm on. I stop and I"m leery of it. The material of the pit wall is a sort of large sized pebbles of sand. I think it is unstable and could fall. Right then the promontory teeters and falls down into the pit. Then the walls are all collapsing and I jump down onto the floor of the pit to avoid being buried. The mini-avalanche is still coming towards me, and I back up against the far wall/corner of the pit to avoid being buried. As it still approaches me I yell out "HELP!" to the guys. I don't get buried and to back to the street-side of the pit. Climbing up now the top of the pit is covered in paneled glass like in a geodesic dome. I'm carrying something heavy and am trying to break my way out.
I dream far better when I don't have the camera set up! I have yet to get to bed early with it, though. I need to just ignore it and do recall like usual. Summaries for now, details later earlier (@~6 hrs?) + disappointing naked hot tube party: the super hairy dwarf naked [DS], "OMG" moment when I see him full frontal. More hair than body! Individual hot tub "cups" for one person. Sit and stew a bit, leave annoyed, gay guys at a door I go through? + DO: bunch of kids riding down hill on (transparent?) skateboards, hit the grass, think of turf damage, it's a video/movie repeated take, up on hill girl hit her head, damage on the stone shows it + DO: gardening, outdoors, talking with wife(?), someone says the mold problems comes from the grape plantings: I then explain to wife dilligently how we must not have grape plantings in the future later: (@~8-9 hrs) + watching them clean the school hallway, manager says to cleaner "missed a spot" and he lines up huge line of dust bunnies and dirt, then starts shoveling massive piles of straw, dirt, etc from the classrooms filling the hallway, it's a "whoa!" moment + erotic scene with gal covered in "goo" preparing a movie of herself, I'm nervous that someone will see + with N&A (McK) in B, I choose "L's" pizza with fanfare, they're not impressed, want to go elsewhere, I'm disappointed, we go to other, newer pizza buffet lunch plae where they serve "nutmeg and (yam?)" pizza among other vegan fares, pizza goes fast, we wait, finally they bring out. Later I'm writing up the DJ entry for this on the computer, typing furiously, very quickly + hiding in room, blanket over head, doesn't work, magic fight with woman witch and her girl apprentice, fireball @ witch, she laughs, lightning@witch & helper, we tussle close together, then we start watching a movie cuddling together and stroking arms, the movie has contemporary movie stars (guys) in a large cage barreling down a hill, trees are in the way, the guy in the front has a *MASSIVE* pair of "cajones" out in the open and hanging down and out from the front of the cage, I say "biggest pair of b**s in history", and eventually get embarrassed about watching this with the witch ladies.
Still getting used to sleeping with the camera, I tend to focus on it and my position rather than focusing on dreams. Bed-time still a bit too late for good recall. + I'm to play the central role in a camp play? I'm hesitant about this since it's such an important thing. I'm in a room, it's very messy, I'm looking around and see a lot of medical eqiupment. + DO: a guy drives in to a woman's house's garage, the husband discovers this and gets very angry, but it's a misunderstanding, it wasn't an affair + [vague impression] houses? a former house?
I have the impression I did a RC at some point in a dream during the night, but didn't get lucid. + KC "train". I'm riding an open car'd little train up a hill, like a roller coaster train, but on city streets (up main hill Ce. St. in B?). We go by KaCor (jr high cutie, freckles, orchestra) 's house. She comes out with mother and sisters (?). I'm sitting a few cars forward from her. I'm waiting for her to notice me? People are talking about us like we're (were?) a couple? + didn't make the cut: in some series of rooms, there's a young man and he has some helper, he wants to get on something like a cruise ship. He's confident he'll get on. I'm walking down a hallway and stop to admire a painting on the wall. The captain of the vessel is nearby and chats with me/ asks me a question? It turns out the young man did not get a spot on the (ship?) and is very upset and is trying to figure out a way to get on. + in a mall, lots of young people about, there is a store front with advertisements for various war games. Some big activity has completed and the DCs are packing up and preparing to leave. At one point I'm following (my wife?) to a couch where she is a sort of "booth babe" along with others including their female boss, they're all lounging around on a circular couch, I'm checking them all out for a bit. Spoiler for erotic interaction: I go up to a gal who's pulling on her sweat pants and stop her and start helping her finish doing that, she's slightly surprised. I lean in for some sweet kisses and whisper to her about some sexual things we'll do later. She seems interested and excited. She leaves, but sends me a SMS and I read it (the words seems clear but they're all written in "SMS jargon" without vowels, something like "hw u knw wht 2 do?", I think she's asking me how do I know how to do these (sexual) things. (brief waking? back to sleep) I'm outside a store shop where a bunch of people are, and I go inside. I'm looking for this girl so we can have our encounter. Walking through this long store someone's pulling on my shirt/pants and I look back and it's a young boy who's following me demanding attention. I'm annoyed by this and brush him off by saying "I've already spent the whole day with you!" I enter a new room (blue ceiling?) and some guys are staring intently at a spot on the ceiling, at first I think they're looking at a spider, but I see there is some sort of vent there and some liquid is trickling out of it and running along the ceiling. They're talking about that and I say "yes that happens sometimes." I spot "my girl" sitting in a corner of that room on the floor with her knees drawn up. I try to non-chalantly move closer to her to get her attention. I think her name is "S". There are still people about. She's asking me about how I SMS'd her? I say you gave me your number (?). She says she can't do the things we talked about, and I say that's too bad.
+(f) adventure, fairly long, mostly forgotten, involving a group of teens, and some place that is off-limits and I suggest we should go there. I (fight?) with one young guy + I'm walking on the sidewalk and I see my wife and I'm glad because I realize I've been looking for her for a while and haven't seen her. She is mad and slaps me across the face with the back of a hairbrush (more of a push, doesn't hurt, it's meant more to show her displeasure than to hurt me), she says "You left with a girl! A (S2) told me he saw you Monday leave with her!" I understand now why she's been gone, it's all a misunderstanding, and I "remember" I was indeed with ex-gf SB, but it was just a friends, and I say "it was just a friend!" + LUCIDD 227 LD#227 At some point I realize I'm dreaming. I'm standing outside at night near a large body of water and some woods. I'm on a small arched bridge. It's pretty dark and murky about, I decide I want to take off and fly towards the mountain across the lake. A take a few steps back and do a short super-man style takeoff, a I do I realize there's a (family?) nearby and a kid remarks about what I'm doing, I ignore and look ahead. It's pretty dark and murky but I know the mountain is up ahead, and I will myself to fly faster. Then I'm flying up the side of the mountain and will the process to go faster and reach the top, then I reach the top and I'm hovering about 30-50 feet above the top of the mountain. There is a collection of tightly-packed medium-height buildings there, like a research facility. I see a few guards on the ground. It is snowing, very large baseball-sized (but light and fluffy) balls of snow are thickly falling all around. I think I want to tell (fogelbise?) about this. I want to land so I point to the ground and will myself down there and I slowly float and gently land. I note the temperature is moderate to even a bit warm and think it should be colder if it's snowing, and I get a slight impression of a chillier temperature for a bit. I walk a short distance to a cage-like area, there are a lot of closely-spaced vertical bars here, and inside is seated a team of young military types (guards? watchers?). It is a mix of guys and girls, all 20-something, mostly guys there. They're holding on to the bars for stability, as there is a precipitous drop right below them. I get a slight bit of vertigo and ask them if they don't get scared of the heights. I ask them their names, all the answers are like "Major Xyz.." and I keep thinking "Major Major, they're all named Major Major." I think about leaning over and kissing one of the girls but decide quickly not to since that could mess up the flow of the dream. I leave this area and come to a raised place nearby where there is a (lunch buffet?). I lose lucidity at some point around here and the dream continues, the team from the cage has gone to lunch in the local cafeteria (should I join them?) and the large, fat guy is having a heart attack because he was a hog and ate too quickly, the food he's eaten is slowly coming up and out of his mouth, he's saying "I just ate too quickly."
Late at work and then binging on Netflix kept me up until almost 4am. ARGH MUST STOP THE INSANITY. It wreaks havoc on my dreams: less sleep,and the stress of remaining more or less permanently jet lagged is very bad. Must stop! There were more dreams but late to bed makes it very hard to recall them. + (impression) I saw E, I knew she had died, but she had come back, and I'm rapturous about this. I didn't know how much time we had left but I was very hopeful. + outside, in an area with covered bunks/beds, sitting areas, there is a violent guy raging around, someone says "anybody have a shovel?" and somebody goes up and wacks him on the back of his head from behind with the shovel, knocking him out. The guy comes over to me and my friend (CL from WFP and UW) and I say "no, no, he's (resting? not well?)" so the guy doesn't hit him + outdoors, a beach? I'm walking and doing something (rinsing off?) near a piece of the shore which is on an incline, and I see a small kid and say something like "darling sunshine" (in a foreign language) and the kid is highly amused and told his mom that "that man called me <what I called him>," I think that's sort of funny.
Too late to bed (unavoidable, was actually working, was out at a dentist appointment late), so only 6 hours, no recall from early wakings. One dream or three, I don't know: + I'm at a counter in a kitchen with my cousin's. Something about commenting on making a mess at the counter and one of the cousins won't like that. I see my kids playing a sort of soccer-type game involving moving lit candles through the goal. I see my younger son defending his goal and call out for him to blow out the candle as the opposition tries to score against him. + Musical demonstration: someone is playing something in a minor key and I say "no no that's wrong, it should be played in major, like this: " and proceed to play some notes on my instrument, but it's coming out minor instead of major, I realize I need to adjust the scale and try to realize which major scale it is, I need to add a bunch of sharped notes and I up playing down to a low B (so I guess B major). I realize I'm messing up the demo so I say "OK, guys, everybody switch to F major" and play a few F major scales (one octave) up and down. I'm thinking no one's probably interesting in hearing a plain scale. The more interesting music is written on the walls of the curved 2-3 story buildings all around us. I'm looking at it and it's quite tricky: triplets, with lots of accidentals. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to sight read it. + I'm on the steet (cul-de-sac) outside CH [Childhood Home]. The neighbor's house across the way has been modified: the post office has placed a regional/neighborhood mail collection / dropoff point attached to the 2nd floor of the L's house (across from ours). I'm upset about this, this will mean more traffic as people come to our area to use the drop-off. The drop-off is like a metalic mail box with a slot, but it is tall: from the floor level to the ceiling level of the 2nd floor of the house, it has large lettering on it. The more I look, the more I see: now a 2nd large post office attachment on the house. I look to the left, to the area between the L's and the M's house and see a new traffic light and exclaim "OH Crap!" I think this means that the city has claimed eminent domain over the M's house, will demolish it, and create a new roadway into our little circle, making it into a main roadway. My parents are with me and my mom's upset about this exclaiming how it will affect home values. I see there are lots of cars parked all around the circle, taking up lots of room. I walk a little bit down the steps of a foot path cut into the hill where the M's house used to be. I realize that they're probably just constructing a new foot path, not making a new street that will go up/down the hill. I say this and start walking back up the stairs to the circle. I see some cut bushes (cross-section like they were cut right in half vertically to shape the stairs).
Medium recall night. Glass of champagne right before bed, hindered rather than helped this time. About 8 hours in bed. First couple of wakings had no recall come to mind, later wakings had some I think delayed recall. Early recall has faded, didn't record during the night. + driving school with mom and dad there's a small traffic jam and the other guy honks at us but we're waiting for a particular spot, dad is driving and shoots forward over the curb into the parking space which is delineated by think green pain on the asphalt. We pull in to the space which is right in front of the driving school. Mom gets out and goes up the ramp into the place, I come too, I notice lemon trees [emerging DS], the driving instructor is inside standing at a counter, and I'm thinking how did my mom manage to live so long without learning how to drive? + in friend's [FALSE] house's kitchen, bathroom, mopping up the juice spill on the table and squeezing it back out, walking through the house with the daughter of the family + [vivid, present] examining the color on the driveway: gray, green, and grey-on-green: in the grey-on-green, is the green really there or is it a reflection from the fully green section or even from the green grass down by the curb? + [short] I see a picture of my bro-in-law on a sailing trip in a sailing boat, then riding on a rapids river with his daughter (my niece), "parked" in the middle of the river for a while + visiting a family and an older daughter and I go off to find a place to read, I have a book and she's holding on to me and I'm going to read to her, I see a spot on the floor against a couch and sit there and I'm flipping forwards and backwards through the book I know exactly what I want to read to her but I can't find it now in the book. + [short] at a fancy bar, slightly floating above it, watching while the wait staff are placing a bottle of beer at every place with a chair + [short] at a pool, it's not open yet, some women say "OH, hurry it's opening get our spots" I'm standing by a fence watching some girls in swim suits lounging near the pool.
