FryingMan

Finally a decent bed-time (around midnight). In bed until 10-10:30. Drank 2/3 or a bottle of champagne in the evening. Dreams very vivid and present, waking-like experiences. Lots of dreams, lots of detail, visual and awareness highly present. Late morning "dream-doze" state resulted in several more. Perhaps some REM rebound from undersleeping on several preceding nights.

earlier:

+ flying, neighborhood, houses/mansions, house covered in candle wax from dripping outside windows

+ famous (actor?) knows my niece: lemon tree orchard, lemons (yellow tomatoes?) on ground piled near fence, open areas in fence, guy on ladder I'm trying to get around him

+ car crash: I'm in back, other guys are driving, car's crowded I can't get out or get to the driver's seat, we smash headfirst into a parked red Rolls Royce: we bounce right off and neither car is damaged, miraculously.

+ gym: everybody is picking on a (apparently flat-chested) black woman to show her breasts (for confirmation?). She exasperatedly lifts up her top and shows off an amazing pair of large, beautiful breasts, I'm wondering why they didn't show through her clothes.

later:

+ playing pool, showing cue ball control, talking about draw. Someone is practicing on a table with oranges/grapefruits instead of billiard balls

+ playing chess, analyzing position. Not sure what pieces I have, one or two rooks? Should I analyze deeply or since I think I'm way ahead just dive into making combinations? I have a queen and I'm looking at

+ [long, detailed, vivid] angry they've messed up my pool equipment: cue rougher and shaft conditioner are ruined

Looking in great detail at objects. Letters, presents (have they even been opened?) boxes, addressed to me or to SB. A "Serbian CD player" which has a strange, ornate shape, someone complains that it's greasy on the outside (show it to JH BF DD), a letter with my name (SB's name?) written on it. Opening a drawer and looking at objects inside, many detailed objects.

SB is embezzling money from the kiosk/store she works at and hands me a stack of cash which I keep dropping. I suspect it is counterfeit and some of it is torn up into small pieces, some starts to look like it came out of a copy machine. Discussion of how hard it is to run the business.

Late morning Dream doze, dream boundaries unclear:

+ use goggles, don't be afraid, see fish in shallow/clear water [DS], think how people swim in these waters all the time without fear, why would it be any different to get into the water with goggles on and be able to see underneath the water? Splashing larger fish approaches me and I want to wait to see what it is before jumping in to the water, it appears at first to be a standard Hawaiin triggerfish but it turns into a piranha fish that bites and latches on to my knuckle, I shake it off and see bloody knuckle and talk about dangers of pirhannas.

+ leaving the mall, topless and see-through top girls, wrong door
We're on the upper floor of some large open mall and down below I see a girl with a see-through top with lovely breasts fully visible and I want to go down to see her. Around me there are more girls with see-through / visible breasts. Head towards what I think is the stairway, there's a group of young people including girls looking up at me (and laughing?) I see that the door (which is pink) is actually not the stairs but the girl's restroom. I feel funny because I think I have two hats on indoors and I reach up to feel the hats and take one of them off.

+ FA wake up in bed and start singing song acapella "Hero" (Family of the Year) looking at a car while singing. (DO) I see some street signs and the view looks like from city A (like from A hill) looking towards the B hills, houses and trees, and think about how long these signs (like highway/freeway signs) can stay in places, for decades, I get sentimental and weepy and think "I want to live!" and to be able to just walk outside and see trees and things and have basic life experiences. I'm walking down the sidewalk in my underwear, need to pee, walk past woman who gives me a funny look I'm a bit self-conscious about being in my underwear but not too concerned, heading to the mall's public bathroom past smelly bums there's a bad smell around here, the bums are waiting around the bathroom.

+ With wife, she's young/beautiful/healthy/shining, I'm happy to see her and want to hug her, but she has to have meeting with a "caseworker" woman about her mother, more and more people are arriving for the meeting, my wife has a "special appointment" and tries to pull her aside to speak in private with her, she hands the woman a pile of papers which she unfolds and has her (wife's) name/signature on it. I see the face of the case worker a large, rough face on a large head with short hair. More and more women are arriving for the time of appointment on this street / corner with the woman and they're crowding around her and they're interfering with my wife's ability to talk to her.

Somewhat more reasonable bedtime: moving in the right direction at least. Recall still not great, details fade fast, even forgot the lucid at first, need to return to nighttime recording.

+ driving with friends (they're in a another car) on freeways. Trying to decide on the route to take. We're talking about the freeway numbers: 280, 15, etc. We stop at some rest stop and there is a police car there. (I'm wondering if we're in trouble for not wearing helmets?)

+ walking outdoors past business, lots of people about. I "recognize" (FALSE) a young man who used to be a programmer but couldn't hack it (haha) and so he became a car salesman, I felt a bit sad for him.

+ LUCIDD 226 LD#226 I'm at the top of the stairs looking down in CH. I remember my favorite dream from childhood where I flew down the stairs and banked steeply to the left and flew into the living room. I'm a bit worried I might just fall down the stairs though, so as I lean forwards down the stairway I keep myself vertical and my feet stay on the stairs and quickly flit down them, I'm a bit disappointed I didn't fly. I turn left into the living room then I start float/flying towards the couch/wall and I think "Ah HA!" and do a nose pinch and I'm lucid. I spend the dream trying to decide what to do. I'm floating randomly around the neighborhood. It is bright daylight everywhere. No people anywhere.

+ I'm playing golf on city streets (with my dad?). There are many groups playing, and we must wait our turn. We're on a high hill, and the street extends straight out into the distance. It angles down then becomes flat in a 100 yards or so. I don't recall actually hitting any balls, I'm wondering about our turn. We start out on the hill and head down to the flats. I'm thinking about putting? Down on the flat (with dad?) I'm looking up the hill and I see two golf balls flying towards us in a high arc heading our way. I tell him to get down, we bend down and the balls hit the ground near us and bounce on ahead of us.

Walking forwards it becomes like miniature golf. There is one of those "volcano" holes that are so difficult and I say/think how I always hated those. It's sort of a volcano and then mushroom shaped, very difficult. I think you have to get the speed just right, or chip the ball right up inside.

+ standing outside around former adult home (PTL), we also own the house next door (FALSE). Then a realator is there and it turns out we're (someone else?) is just leasing, it's a better deal financially.

Ridiculously late to bed (4am almost). This is silly, stop it!

+ I'm sitting in the cabin of a very tall truck behind the wheel. I'm driving on a snowy road there is a large dip in the road ahead (like the one on GPB in B), I hit the brakes which makes me lurch forwards bending over the steering wheel which is at waist level. I'm coming up on some trees with branches crossing the road, there are more and more branches appearing and I'm getting concerned about hitting them, I don't think I can drive under them, and I hit the control that will lower the height of the trucks' cabin, it starts moving down but it may not be enough, I'm thinking s.l. "there sure are a lot of branches here in Thailand"...

+ I'm in an Indoor skiing facility that uses a slippery artificial surface so people can practice their skiing. Then I'm paying at the counter, I was prepared for needing either a passort and a card or (some other ID). Of course the girl at the counter asks for the ID that I did NOT have with me, I pull out all my credit cards and start looking through them, I can't find the one I'm looking for. Most of the m are dark, like black with bright electric blue highlights. Some of the cards still have the "new card" sticker on them and I peel it off of one. The girl says she (doesn't need the card?) and I answer I know but I still need to look through them.

+(f) something outside a fence lines the yard and it steps down an incline.

+(f) a girl (opponent?) is moving nearby, I'm trying to "shoot" her with a laser? She's moving across athletic fields in front of me. Narrator is talking about various kinds of juices and additions, the apple juice addition is a poor choice because the base juice is also from apple juice.

Crazy late to bed again, binge watched "The OA" from start to finish yesterday. Looks like some day residue in the dreams from that. Have to stop doing that. Woke with recall of what felt like one dream with a lot of scenes in it, about 6hrs. Maybe try BTS but it's pretty late in the day already.

These scenes all seem to take place in a single location, in/around some house:

+ There is a girl pacing the (2nd floor?) hallways of some house and she's trying to breathe fire like a dragon. She's taking big breaths and expelling them out with dramatic gestures and loud hissing sounds, leaning her head and back far forwards while doing so. I and some other guy are following her around, I'm sure if she just keeps doing this she'll actually breathe fire, but I never see any fire appear. Then I see a burning/smoldering spot on the floor, and I and this other guy are running to get a fire extinguisher. I want to find the extinguisher first. I'm going to get a "<something, some term>" which is a super-soaker (kids play water rifle)-like plunger and fill it with water at the reservoirs of water built into the ground. I open the reservoir on the right but I see stuff floating in there and I think someone has used it for a toilet and that it's poop in there so I close the lid and flush it. I open the lid to the left reservoir, then I go back to the right one, stick the device in there and pull back the plunger to draw up the water. I walk over to the fire and push the plunger to put out the fire. I expect to see a strong stream of water but instead I get a wide-angled spray of fine mist. Also some chunks of what looks like gray cooked ground meat land on the floor, and I hope it's not poop.

My work colleague (ChDo of "3d") has taken my collection of colorful felt pens and mixed them in with his own. I'm taking my pens back. I'm sifting through the large pile of pens and picking mine out and taking them. Mine are the slender ones with the long white covering tips with handles colored the same as the ink color of the pen. I take back several different-colored ones, the colors are like light pastel. I'm then standing at a (white board?) with a tangled pile of white children's slot and tab sculpture discs all stuck together, it's a fairly large pile.

I'm standing outside and there are 3 ambulances being loaded (with kids?). There is one regular bus and two official ambulances. One of the ambulances loses traction on the ice and the back wheels slide out in an arc, then the whole thing slowly starts tipping and falls onto its left side. I'm shouting "NO!" and run over to open the doors and help the kids out. I tell them to be calm while this is happening. I think the non-ambulance bus was the best one. Something about an animal or thing on a fence nearby?

I notice there are 4-6 titan-sized massive giants dressed in sleek black armor coming to attack us.

Walking through the upper floor and a guy I "recognize" [FALSE] as a (former enemy?) someone who shouldn't be here is coming back in for some reason.

Standing by the edge of a pool with food, there is a tray of food I see down on the bottom of the pool about 10 feet deep by the edge, it was put there for storage? I dive down to get it but wonder about if it's spoiled, thinking the cool temperature of the water may have preserved it.

In bed from about 1am-1:30am to 9am

at bedtime set intention to recall dreams, prepared my smart phone on the recording app (but didn't use it), set intention for remembering dreams in high detail, from beginning to end. Noticed the 5 hour waking (verified on the clock). Several back to sleeps including a micro-WBTB attempt at the 5 hour waking.

+ crossing the river, boat, concerned about dropping my only set of house keys in to the water, I hold them in my hand. Waiting for a boat to cross, I realize I'm sitting in one so I can just ferry my stuff across myself and I go across. I get out and my swim trunks are wet, I go into a house the rooms are smaller than I expected, I go through a kitchen to a laundry room there is a living room through a door to the laundry room (with sliding glass door [DS]?). I know a girl who lives in this house, she is outside a window but her mom comes home and I don't want her to see me like this [DS] so I'm trying and trying to pull on some pants up over my wet swim trunks, I wonder if the pants will fit or not (large swim trunks). I'm trying to stay out of view of the mom in the kitchen I'm sure she'll see me any moment. I finally get the pants up to my waits and button them (kind of rainbow colorful jeans?) and the dream ends.

+ I climb down into a sort of canal with no way out, the sides are tall (yellow colored?) concrete with a lip/edge about 8 feet up. I wonder if I can get out. There are people walking along the far edge. I think that if I take a running start I can "run up the wall" for a few steps (it's inclined slightly, not 100% vertical) and grab for the lip of the edge at the top. I make a half-hearted attempt but I'm not really interested in getting out so I just walk further down the canal...

+ I'm playing softball on a proper field, I'm at first base and I look down to position my left foot so that it is contacting the plate and I can stretch out my hand for the shortstop's throw. I think about how I wore cleats when I played softball back in college. There is a play with a runner rounding the bases and my team keeps missing the throws. I head for home and get the ball and tag a runner out. Everyone is now in center field and I move there and say "oh, so we're playing in center field now?" There is a man and woman there they are both very attractive and either topless or wearing a very revealing top. I notice stubble in the woman's armpits and also on her chest, like on the chest of the man, I'm a bit thrown off by this.

(felt like waking memory I'm holding my baseball glove on my hand and flexing it (opening closing) and inspecting it. I'm talking with some kids about oiling and conditioning baseball gloves, and I'm showing them how my glove looks and saying "yeah this is the way to do it."

+(f) I'm with JoTy (3d) (and his wife), at some point I feel the back of his head through his hair and his head is really pointy at the back and I "remember" [FALSE] oh yeah that's right he has a pointy head like that.

+ in some house/atrium with a girl, go into a standing 69 (she's doing all the work) walk outside to the front gate like this and there's a guy standing in his garage across the street, I'm a bit concerned he'll see us [DS] so I turn back inside...

+ I'm reading some printed paper versions of an online forum. All the posts are about me. Someone has managed to piece together from tiny my real life name from tiny pieces of information I've written about over time (like initials, etc.). I'm really wondering how they did it. I'm quite concerned. The posts are all critical.

+ I'm looking at a little mouse/hamster house where emaciated black mice are running around. One fat large hamster is sort of stuck in an outer hole (and I help push it back in?).

+(f) I'm climbing down on to a deck where my parents are. The stairs are very shallow. Something about what I'm eating?

+ I'm with one of my kids' childhood friends who was quite pudgy when younger. I offer to go get him a waffle, he enthusiastically accepts, I go to pick one up for him and wipe it in a plate of syrup, and pick up one for myself and take some bites from it as I walk back to him. I'm thinking he probably shouldn't eat this since he's already overweight. I walk by a table of guys looking at me and give them a flippant explanation about my own waffle that I'm eating as I walk by and sort of wave the waffle at them (?)

+ in a dark room with others spread out on mattresses on the floor sleeping. I'm up and walking around and heading back to my mattress. There's a girl on a mattress on the right of mine, (she invites me? or I just go to her?) it turns out she's my wife and she beckons me in under the covers and we snuggle.

+ I'm walking along the main ("com") area of boy scout camp at UL, and I'm noticing and analyzing the water level: it seems far too high for September, the level should be very low instead (I ask someone if they agree?). I head back to where I started and not can't find a famous feature that was there and ask where did it go, somebody answers that another group stole it (for firewood?). Someone says that (the forest service?) is no doing a good job of protecting the ridge areas on the top of the mountains where the wind blows (?).

(DO): There is a group hiking/riding along the rim of a canyon, I'm hovering over the canyon looking back down at them. It looks like they've constructed a tram line that runs right along the rim. I'm looking at this trying to make sense of it. I see closer that it is a procession of backpackers, the backpacks are slung over some carrying cart, with one backpack hung off to the side of each cart, each backpack is balancing against the one on the other side.

+ HELP (something) is coming, I call (mentally) to my remote-control toy truck to come save me but it can't reach me because something is blocking it. I'm then meeting with some boss of whom I'm slightly afraid, I'm carrying a colorful plastic (toy-like but functional) automatic rifle, and I pump the barrel and remove the large cartridge, and I hold up the empty gun to the boss to prove to him the chamber is empty and the gun is unloaded.

+ sitting with the notary/real-estate agent and she gives me instructions on how to arrange the inheritance of my wife's property. It involves several steps that nobody else told me about. I say this, "nobody else told me about these thing, it's the first time I'm hearing it," it makes sense to me what she's saying. I repeat the steps back to her for confirmation.

Still too late to bed, but better attention to dreams.

+ girl, my left arm wrapped around her from the back, my arm between her legs, I'm holding it there tightly, feel what's underneath and get embarrassed and pull it away

+ I need to find Joe, father of ToNei (4th grade friend, tooth accident). I'm standing on GPB looking up at their house on the hill, slightly to the left. I think Joe is probably inside the house. On the deck I see people and think T is probably there, I look for him and see a guy with a bushy beard, he seems to be there with work colleagues.

+ on a (fantasy) beach with my kids aged about 6 and 8, we're walking and talking.

+ looking at small things stacked on top of each other (in the back porch of CH?)

+ sitting at a table (at the beach?) with others, there's a (girl?) at the head of the table who wants to squish some "bug" which is in the form of a floating, rain-bow colored feather-like creature which is delicately hovering over the table. I say I don't want to squish it, it's too large, and I sort of bat it away from me, it's like a floating crepe, circular and colorful. Then I leave the table to get my little pet thing, it's like a frog in a small Tupperware container filled with water, I know it's very sensitive to light, and I see it shrinking back from the light, it is changing colors.

+ I and friends run a trolley. We've put a slab (dish-towel sized) of bacon draped over a railing (as a test?), thinking the passenger will share it with us, but the passenger does not, he keeps it for himself, and we get upset (and kick the passenger off?). He should have torn it in half and shared it with us. Something about "8".

+ (impression) playing pool?

+ final waking: I woke from a dream where I was repeating some name over and over.

getting to bed very late still.

+ on the deck of CH, I look down to the back lawn below and see a (naked black woman?) I jump over the railing and float down the 20-25 feet drop (and feel her up?). I have bags (of groceries?) in my hands and leap back up to the deck to give them to my dad?

+ a small train stops in my CH's parent's bedroom. There are 4-5 very small cars, like a kid's train ride. I walk through one of the cars entering the door on one side and leaving on the other side. I wonder if I'll be able to fit my things in this small car, and I'm wondering about when the train will leave.

+ talking to a girl about our (camping trip?). I'm telling her that everyone will have space reserved for them on the ground, enough room to put a 1-2 person tent. I point out a tent that is set up nearby.

+ parking a car outside a building in order to load it with stuff. The parking by the front door is under an overhang in the shade. There are some cars parked in other spots in the sun to the side.

Poor recall generally. But went to bed at like 3-4am so what do you expect. Had to really dig for a long time to come up with anything.

+ vague situations with people

+ pulling into a gas station. I have a heightened awareness for a little bit where I think this may be a dream but it quickly fades. Noticing the paths out of the station and how cars are driving away

+ in a gym, looking at a piece of exercise equipment, wondering how it works since I don't see the usual column of weight plates.

+ in former adult CA home [felt like it but nothing in common with real one] (with wife?) there's not much floor room around the bed. Notice that there is a very large, cream-colored bean bag outside on a covered porch, and I'm wondering if I should bring it inside to keep it safe from the weather. I'm not too concerned since the cover is probably sufficient to keep it out of the rain.

Starting to recall some longer dreams again

+ ship game: FP view, "full-screen" graphics. View out of the cockpit of a plane/ship, taking off and landing on bases amongst hills. Getting a large team together, flying in formation, approaching and trying to figure out how to use the refueling mother ship. Reading directions, come back to body, there are switches that must be thrown in a particular combination in order for the refueling/resupplying to work, I'm carrying the cheat-sheet with me and looking at it and adjusting the settings.

+ driving downtown medium-sized city like B in daytime. Trying to determine the correct routes/allowed turns, making turns at green lights

+(f) there is a guy who is older and a great runner, it's unexpected how good he is

+(f) walking up the sidewalk my friend is going to the (disco?), I walk past it and look to the right inside but there are only a few (large?) women in there. I see my friend just up the street at a (pizza?) place, he's laughing

+ reunion at WFP (college house w/friends), there is a guy down where DB lived I talk to him on the phone, I think of offering him a ride but he's coming on his own. As I float DO towards the reunion house I look down the long snowy street and try to see his little body in the distance walking but don't see it

+ I'm hooking up TVs which are hanging down from the ceiling and trying to figure out the wiring. There is B and S university TVs. They have different connectors. Someone comes and is listening to the report on the S TV.

+ I'm sitting on a bench in an alcove and thinking about having some "quality me time." I'm covering myself with a blanket. A guy comes and hangs around that that puts a damper on the whole thing.

I'm pretty sure there was more but I'm finding it hard to keep my mind solely on dreaming after waking up.

+ DO flying over observing a soccer game. One player breaks through the pack of defenders alone and puts on a spurt of speed and is heading for the goal, but s/he let's the ball get ahead of him and the goalie gets it. I'm enjoying the flyover view and I swoop down closer to the field to watch the continued action as it moves back towards the other goal.

+ In porch of CH(?) holding my cat in my arms. Old dog is there? Another dog enters the back porch from the kitchen door from the right and I clutch my cat close to prevent her from running away or fighting with the dog. They see each other and react calmly. I remember [FALSE] that this dog and my cat knew each other I bring my cat to the face of the dog and they lick each other's face?

+ I'm leaving the front door of a hotel at night, it's very dark outside no lighting, I'm just barely making it away there is a pursuer who's following me and will enter the hotel to look for me. I make my way to the right into the shadows with frequent backwards glances. I head out back to where I know my car is, I finger my car fob and look at it and remember the brand of car ("Cardiff"?). I'm going to get into my car and get away.

+ I'm in (CH top floor bathroom?) and out the window I hear / see cops talking, they're rounding up all the call girls in the area into a car. I'm peeking out into the car at them. Then I fly out the window and hover over the car, there are about 5-6 of them sitting in a convertible in the front and back seats. I'm looking for a cute one maybe I can meet with her. One in the front seat makes an unflattering comment me, something like "look at that fat guy", I retort with "hey, I'm a paying customer!" and she brightens up and says "oh, that's right!" My attention focuses on the one on my right in the back seat. I'm asking about how to do meet. Then several of them are standing against a wall and I'm talking with them and they're giving me directions. I ask "OK so I need to come to your place?". There are two tiers of call girls, those who don't speak French, and those who do, the ones who speak French are more expensive.

Unfortunately I recently suffered a major loss in my life. Needless to say it's put a damper on my dreaming. The dreams are returning, though, the last several nights have seen an increase in count and vividness/presence.

Over the last several nights:

+ playing basketball with an undersized ball, going up for layups, passing to teammates, making a 3-point shot

+ playing tennis with a girl who's way better than me. My guy friend and I call out to two girls and I offer to play them doubles.

+ outdoors a guy is making multiple half-court basketball shots in a row

+ sitting outdoors with friends on a picnic blanket on a slanted hill (sand?), a man in a blue shirt sits down very close by and blocks my view of the main attraction, I keep telling him to move, eventually he sits down RIGHT in front of me, and I yell at him "WOULD IT KILL YOU TO MOVE TWO FEET TO THE SIDE?"

+ I bring a violin [I don't play it] and begin playing

+ sitting on the long side at the end of a picnic-table-like table, people are offering me chocolate. I'm asking for the darkest chocolate possible. I break off a piece and eat it.

+ I'm on the street just outside CH: some utility workers are up in the wires overhead, I crouch down and do a big jump into the air and hover there. Then I'm hovering at the ceiling inside my CH living room, mom and dad are at the table, and also a guy who I know knows about dreaming, he's commenting on things. I summon a small multicolored ball of energy into my hand and manipulate it around a bit with TK. Then I summon a small fireball into my hand. The guy is talking to my parents about the Objective-C programming language, about the object-method calling syntax, I'm pretty sure they won't understand.

+ On the street outside CH, there are utility tunnels [FALSE] running under the ground, there's a wide opening by me and there's a worker down there, I (or someone?) hop down into the opening.

(mid/early)

+ outside, hopping on rocks, trying to ski? There is a flying midget's head darting around like a hummingbird. It stops to explain how changing the elevation/orientation of its little wings (one on each side of its head) determines how it flies

+ LUCIDD 225 LD#225 In CH I'm sitting on the back porch steps up to the garage and looking closely at my instrument which is broken down into its pieces. I'm closely looking at the red cherry wood and the stain that is applied on top of it, examining the deep rich red color. I drop the top portion of the instrument on to the cement floor of the garage and exclaim my frustration, I lift it up to inspect the top ring to see if its damaged, apparently it's not.

I'm in the living room and look at the view out of the window. Instead of the city scape below I see high/flood waters. This piques my interest because I know this is a dream sign. I look some more, trying to remember if that level of water is normal. I'm pretty sure it's not, I can't see the city below, and determine I'm dreaming. Nose pinch confirms. Get excited and turn away from the window and walk about the room instantly thinking of tasks. I remember the 12 days of Christmas challenge. Drumming is first. I look around and try to expectation-summon a drum set but I don't see anything. I decide just to start pretending to drum, and soon I have drumsticks in my hand and moving them results in a rat-a-tat-tat sound of a snare drum. I lose visuals and the dream fades to black. I'm rubbing my hands vigorously for a while. I feel like I may be lying in bed, and do a nose pinch which confirms I'm still dreaming. I decide to "take off the blankets and get up out of bed". It works, visuals return. I expectation-grab my recorder (a "pipe" as in Piper's Piping) from my shelves and run downstairs and decide to open the sliding glass door to the dining room to get outside on the deck and take off from there. I hear my dad following behind me, he's saying things to me but I'm ignoring him. I get out on to the deck and will the pipe to transport me. I take off flying at high speed, pulled by the pipe which is accelerating me towards the city across the water. I have a nice view of the bridge with large brown (rust?) areas on it. My dad is still talking to me, he's saying "even though they're [doctors] not focusing any more on liver damage, [it's still a problem], so don't overeat!". I'm amused that he's still following behind me. I arrive in the city in a twilight area with a tall wall/fence that goes up a hill, there are large buildings around me. I'm thinking about the doctor that is in one of the buildings and I think I don't want to go see him. My mom is now there too, and she's saying that she want to co-sign on the documents now, even though they were already executed. I say "OK I'll go get them later and bring them by". Now I want to do the next task, leap over a building. There's a building in front of me about 100 yards down a hill. I start running down the hill and build up speed then do a hulk jump up and over the first building, high into the air, and I see my momentum will carry me over the next, even higher building. I land and think about the next task, which I'm not sure about. I decide it's "maids a-milking". So, naturally, I go looking for some maids . They're right here, one is walking away from me and I touch her shoulder to stop her and turn her towards me, then I see 3 more girls right here leaning up against a wall, they're small busted but cute so I decide to go with them. I ask (think?) them to lift up their tops and produce milk! The dream fades and nose pinch shows I'm awake.

+ in the hills observing a public utility fence it's boarded up I see the sheets of plywood covering the openings and observe the pattern of nails: some have lots of little nails along the top and bottom tightly spaced, I think "wow they really don't want anybody getting in there." I think about how hard it would be to pry those boards off of there. some boards are nailed only along the vertical middle with larger nails with easier to see shiny heads. Some areas have the boards pulled aside I think the vandals/kids did this, and I want to look inside to see the (barrels?) hidden by the boards but don't. To the right I see that some sections of the fence have had their (glass now?) sections removed by neighborhood kids using those openings in that section of the fence as a shortcut across the fence.

+ sitting on the ground on short grass, I look across the street to my right and "recognize" [FALSE] the place as a rehersal/concert location that my orchestra has used many times before, I recognize features of the place and realize I'm seeing them from a different perspective. Guy walks up and talks about my instrument. I'm playing (another guy's?) instrument there's a bad/leaky key and I'm helping him troubleshoot it. High F to E seems bad so it must be right G key. I hold a note and he pushes things around and we eventually determine it is a faulty ring key on the b-hole [FALSE/WRONG]. I'm talking about my ancient <mouthpiece> and how it's very old (decades) and how it will probably fail eventually, I look inside and there's some nasty decay? Someone asks what a "R"-tool is for and I say thinning out the tube but you have to be careful not to get it too thin.

+ dream of attacking with a pew pew blaster pistol sci-fi show actors it's not hard to beat them since they're just actors after all. Something about an alien invasion they steal a girl by smearing knock-out gas paste under her nose. I'm telling my boys about the alien invasion and how we have to manage their numbers?

+ walking in park, head back to the entrance which is steep and rocky, there is a line of color difference in the little cliff there and I think this comes from people traditionally peeing on the rocks in this location. To get out you'll have to get a running start up a bumpy and steep short section but I think I can make it.

+ LUCIDD 224 LD#224 I'm on my CH deck heading towards the short steps down to the back garden when I get lucid. I stop and immediately think of stabilizing and TOTM. I turn back on to the deck, rub my hands together looking around and see the black slat railing in front of me at the kitchen corner which fades, the whole scene is fading to black. Dang. I know the house is a step to my right so I put up my hands and walk to the right expecting to meet the house and I do. I keep my hands on the wall of the house until I start getting some visual detail back, it's still dark. I see mom emerge from the back porch door on to the deck, she ignores me and turns down the steps into the garden, I follow her saying "Hey Mom, what's up!?" It is now bright daylight, almost cartoonishly bright. She keeps heading up the steps towards the driveway, and eventually says "I'm getting a bag [from the street]." I don't follow, I look up and see my dad's on the driveway and notice that it's an accurate rendering of his face in his about mid-50s. There are some large trucks on the street (the neighbors are finally moving?). I sit down on a patch of flat concrete and decide to write down the TOTMs as this will help me remember them. I wonder if I can write anything at all in the concrete. I scratch a "1" with my fingernail and I see it clearly, but no tasks come to memory and
the dream fades.

continue? I'm thinking about the flower pot of roses (which I bought for wife IWL) and observing how the roots have grown and broken through the inner layer of the ceramic pot.
