FryingMan

details later

early:
+(f) in darkened room, computers up high on top of cabinets

+ [vivid, long] crazy kitchen: clean pot won't get clean black spots, scratched frying pan, dining room, re-arrange kitchen, multiple dining rooms, toasters, book-ends(?), pencil sharpener not working right

+ movie theater labyrinth, crooked movable hallways that the staff spend time re-arranging to change the shape of the theaters, pressing buttons to see the preview outside the theaters, have to pee, come to lobby to avoid the gorilla guy (overheard), in another strange kitchen with large combination gas cooktops/urinals

Awake, check email, BTS tough, use Holecek visualizations to step down into sleep successfully, more dreams:

+ people in parking lot, go inside, sit at table in restaurant, I'm feeding plates to a girl on the couch on the right, she takes a bite and passes the plate back to me and I pass them back to the left, she eats a piece of shrimp from one of the plates and I see the little tail/meat stub remaining as I pass the plate back.

+ playing and singing the chorus to "Wild world" by Cat Stevens on the guitar and playing the riffs well

+(f) get on a bus that is flooded and I"m worried a bit about avoiding the sharks in the water.

+ take off on a pirate ship after convincing the captain to go with our people as crew, hit by 100 foot tsunami breaking right on top of us, wake up thinking I should have laid down on the deck to avoid the tsunami's slamming us down and damaging our heads, applying/peeling bandages, captain angry

+ LD#191 starts with picture of "me reading in my room" after other rooms are all busy (with the needs of a new baby in the family?)
wife snoring in pink bed in pink room, leave, go to snacks room which is parent's bedroom in CH, eat an egg-shaped cookie and worry about recording the calories for it in MFP, step out on deck, there's a chaise lounge laid out for sleep there, which is a bit surprising, then I look out and see very colorful festive buildings just off of the deck and say/realize "in dreams, the buildings can be very close". There's a birthday party going on in the colorful home, I grab a girl and bring her back into my room for a short session of fun and I wake up/transition while counting to 10.

Lucidity weak but I'm counting it .

I was reading Andrew Holocek's new book last night before bed. He has an *amazing* chapter on mindfulness meditation. He writes about napping exercises where you try to take a thought through hypnogogia into sleep and from sleep back to waking.

I find myself awake at about 3hrs and get up to pee. I decide to return to bed lying on my back with pillows supporting my arms straight down at my sides. I don't sleep on my back any more because of snoring but I've lost a lot of weight in the last several months, so maybe I can return to back sleeping (I slept on my back for the first half of my life). Back sleeping has resulted in the past in fairly "wild" FAs.

+ I find myself aware that I'm experiencing REM atonia "noise": extremely loud rushing in my ears, growing louder, together with a sense of pressure on my chest. I remain calm and wait it out. The noise subsides then returns. No visual dream begins. I wonder if I should just "get up" and if I'm already in the dream state.

Then (perhaps discontinuity) I realize I'm lying in bed in my CH in my sister's old room by the corner/windows. In the other twin bed is lying my ex-gf SB [DREAM SIGN]. I feel like telling her about my almost-WILD.. She says something, I don't hear perfectly clearly, I think she says "I want to kiss you." I wonder if I should get up and go over to her and kiss her.

Spoiler for sexy/erotic content:

I then realize her hand is reaching across under the blankets and is on my penis, which I feel is becoming erect. I "pulse" it so that she knows this.

Then I realize her leg is lying across my body. I reach down and caress her calf and her upper thigh. I think about how I've always admired her legs. I feel they're smooth and say "smoooooth....". I detect only the slightest bit of stubble, very little.

Then she's on top of me? Then she gets up and heads out of the room (which has an entry room? another set of doors leading to the hallway) and she's going to the bathroom and says "I'll get us some towels" in preparation for cleaning up afterwards I think. I notice the door is open. She is not SB any more but a brunette with a sort of husky and a bit "hill billy"/low class voice.

Spoiler for sexy/erotic content:

I realize she's put a condom on me: I look down it's solid white latex. My erection is stretching it out. I pull it on snugly and walk back to the bed by the window. I'm thinking about the noise we may be making soon and that we need to close the door so that it doesn't bother my parents down the hallway. I sit on the edge of the bed and look down again and see I'm quite bit and hard, ready for action.

I look out the window and I see a very close view of the B Bridge, a bit slatted like on a computer screen, and I say, "Hello, <city>!"
Then I realize the blinds on the windows are open, and the people living up the hill from us can see into the room, and this bothers me [DREAM SIGN]. The blinds don't seem to close properly. I'm standing right in front of the windows, looking up at the houses that can see into our room. Among the trees and against the blue sky, there are two twin black modern "tower" houses barely more than a room or two wide on each side that go up 30 or so stories. I then realize there's a man sitting on his balcony looking down at us. My dad says "Oh, that's just RoLu".

Spoiler for sexy/erotic content:

I realize my erection is starting to fade

I then try to pull us both under a desk out of the view of the guy peering down from his balcony.

Then we're talking to some clown looking guy with brightly dyed hair: it's a solid bright orange/pink. He's also wearing bring (orange/pink) shoes. He looks like a middle-aged white guy. He's saying something about what someone said. I think he's courier and I want to tell my girl that she shouldn't be scared of him.

I wake up,

Spoiler for sexy/erotic content:

rock hard.

My heart is beating really hard. I'm really excited about this near-WILD, so early in the night. I find it very hard to return to sleep.
Discontinuity, sleep one more sleep cycle?
Somewhere around 4-4.5 hours I wake and just can't get back to sleep until about 6-7 or even later.

+ I'm driving along side a truck, this truck has some friends of mine in it. It's a big truck with a big cab. I think to drive up alongside the truck and to push in the clutch and rev my engine to tease them. I pull up along side and look in to the cab, there are two guys there, my friends. Then we're stopped and I walk in front of the front of the cab, and notice a lot of little green plants either growing there or plastered there. It looks very messy and I think they'll need to clean this up.

+ I'm walking into a bar, it's "only 5pm" and is deserted and I don't want any drinks. There is a female bartender, I go to her and say something, I'm waiting for someone? I look down and see an open large red and black backpack and "recognize" it. Then I'm walk through a short hallway around a corner and I'm outside with a very old woman/witch standing a bit away from me. She controls a wolf I know, but I don't see it. She turns reverse video (like a camera negative), and I go up to her and imagine igniting my lightsaber and slicing her with it. Then I see a skinny wolf who confronts me. I'm then back in the corridor, trying to return to the room I came from. The corridor keeps making 90-degree left turns. One, two, three, 4 left turns in a row.
This corridor doesn't lead back the way I came, something is not right with it. Then I see an opening into what appears to be the back/high area of a large auditorium [DREAM SIGN].

I walk in to the auditorium and wonder if my mind will be able to render it instantly and completely when I turn to the right and look down. I enter and indeed I see a complete auditorium.
I look down and there are only a few sparse groups of people seated, partway down to the right. I jump/fly down to them, and try to choose a girl. I'm hovering over the higher group, but look down to the lower group and see some cute blondes, one of whom is turned around and looking at me. I decide the one I'm over is cute enough and land

Spoiler for sexy situation:

and start getting a BJ. It's pretty vague. I move down and there is a visual of a guy licking a (raspberry?).

I soon wake.

+ some fighting/team situation. I'm in a corridor and my friend is in a large cubicle when I notice an enemy soldier coming our way with a large rifle/energy gun. I say out loud "soldier, big gun, he'll be here in SECONDS!". Soldier arrives, my friend comes out of the cubicle and mentions/says something about "the rail gun is in the cubicle." I go in and look around but I can't find it. I come out and shrug, he indicates behind himself again and then I notice that it is stuffed down the back of his pants. I take it out and pump a lever which charges the rail gun and it starts making a high-pitched charging sound. I point it at the enemy solder (it has a flexible tube from its barrel?) and shoot, which gives him a minor shock. Then I pump and shoot, pump and shoot again, on his left/back side and it really gives him a jolt. He really hates that rail gun. Then I'm outside and ahead of him and he's pursuing I know. I have a lot of places to hide, it's like a multi-level children'd playground with lots of low tube tunnels. I'm not sure where to go. The pursuer runs around the perimeter of the play area and I hunker down inside, not well enough, because as I'm crouched down I see his eyes meet mine and he's found me. (We fight?)

No middle of the night recording, I remembered this through to morning (via multiple reviews at each waking) ...

@3 hrs:
+ dungeon crawl game, dark, then light, concerned about dragons one-shot killing me

+ setting up to play "tennis" across a small orchestra as the court, trying to choose proper orientation (lengthwise or width-wise) have to pee and wonder if I should pee before we start the game

later, but still early:

+ riding a ten-speed bike with ram-shaped handlebars, flicking the brakes, switch to the upright straight bar brakes, ride into an area where students are taking tests, I come up behind a young asian man feverishly working a calculator and I see numbers and equations on a screen.

later:

+ I'm seated on top of tall/big boulder, looking into a clear lake with stones in water. I want to ask tourist board which I think is nearby on the shoreline for advice for fresh-water snorkeling sites in Michigan. I'm looking down into the water, and one of my two bulky pillows/bolsters fall down the slope into the water. It is on the surface of the water still. I look how I should go down and retrieve it, and then plan my route back to shore, the boulder is quite steep and I'd need to walk with severely tilted ankles along the water/stone boundary. I go down to get the pillow, but it has sunk down into the water, I still see it through the clear water, I'm not pleased at the aspect of getting all wet. In the water, I feel an unexpected current pulling me away from the pillow, "great," I think and swim vigorously to get back to the pillow, and dive down and pull it out. It's wet. I'm back in a dorm room on top of a bunk bed, a scary guy will be angry I know about the wet pillow, I stare him down with a fierce face to scare him off and not to ever bother me again, which works and he goes away. I'm happy, get down, and high-5 an old black woman lying in a bed on the ground several times with one hand and then two hands, trying to figure out which hands to hit together. Her hands are sort of withered and claw-like.

+ store, turkey pack, deli counter, want to add guacamole to my open turkey tortilla, a guy in front of me has ordered "with everything except <one ingredient>"

+ communist legions are forming and marching to attack, I see familiar people in the crowd wearing uniforms with now severe/serious faces, I run ahead of the legions to warn everybody and when they arrive I try to climb up on top of shelves to escape arrest.

+ carrying a girl in front of me, I have a hand on her *ahem* through her panties trying to feel for the "button"

+ [semi-lucid] I discover I have "girly bits down there", and investigate . At first there is blood, but use control to will it away, it vanishes, then I go exploring, the sensations are interesting.

+ I'm teaming up with two girls in a (make-up?) store. I communicate to them by walking up, taking a hairbrush from one of their hands, and tapping myself twice with it in the middle of my forehead, and returning it to the with a raised-eyebrow "knowing" expression on my face.

+ I am pushing my baby boy in a stroller. He's asleep but then sunlight hits his face and he wakes up and opens he eyes which are solid pure blue (like Dune Fremen). I feel a wave of amazing love for him. I notice he is small, and I think this is also because his mother [my wife] was premature. I think I should be talking to and holding him and touching him to aid his development, so I pick him up. Then I'm seated along a bench among tables with lots of young people seated there. His face is right next to mine and I pepper his cheeks with smacking kisses to get him to laugh. He doesn't laugh but opens his mouth widely and I'm a bit concerned about him biting my lips. I notice across the table there is a young girl who looks like a guy including a long wiry beard. He/she then stands up on the bench putting his/her butt in the air and I see his/her pants are down and she seems to have girly parts there with the same wiry pubic hair, but then I see boy bits. I realize my own pants are down and pull up both my underwear and pants/shorts wondering what people will think of me sitting like that.

BTS

+ with my old dog L and some guy near a fence, there's a hole and I think he'll get through and I'll have to get up and follow him around the corner so he doesn't get lost.

+ there are people in a lively multi-story cantina/restaurant along a canal having a great time. Then I'm with a group of people coming to this place in a boat or floating vehicle. It turns out the people in the cantina are huge giants compared to the people in the boat, including me. We arrive at the cantina and I'm sitting next to a girl I like and I take her hand in mine

+ a work scene, a girl engineer is talking about how the "sol" core of the chip that she designed is located in the center of the package and so is isolated from water damage on the periphery. Then we're going somewhere (lunch?) in an elevator. Our group gets on the elevator but two girls already on the elevator block us just inside the entrance with their arms against the wall. A guy in our group didn't make it on the elevator. On the elevator a group of girls are singing and kind of dancing. I'm crouching down and looking up at them and harmonizing and adding a beat that doesn't quite perfectly blend with the music but is close enough. I look up and there is a girl in a (green bikini?) dancing there, another girl across from her close by, and a guy in between them?

We get off and there is an old woman on the street we interact with and talk to briefly, she takes a pose (or I do?) pointing my leg out to the side. From a side passage I see the guy who didn't make it into the elevator coming down a tunnel/alleyway to us. I go around a small kiosk to rejoin the girls from the elevator.

night before:
+ a portion of the fence in our former CA home is missing, our dog could get out. I'm sizing up the boards we'll need to rebuild it. I'm walking around the perimeter of our yard. Turning the corner I see the fence is made out of metallic strips that are rustry/peeling paint, they need to be restored

+ cars like dune buggies are zipping around on a dirt road partially covered by snow. They are taking corners fast and skidding around. Something about they are supposed to be pulling carriages. Stop in front of a house in the country, a car has its hood open, its radiator is boiling/steaming and my son S2 is about to open the cap. He opens it and pours in water from a large water jug instead of ani-freeze. A large, naked woman steps into the engine compartment which contains a full-sized bathtub, she relaxes in the tub. My son moves to close the hood and I think this will trap her in there and it might get too hot. Another woman climbs in and there's a hole leading to the bathtub that will allow her to finger the woman in the tub.

last night:

+ driving around talking to some woman about my former CA home. I say it was in the center of downtown "C..." [true]. The woman says "that's right on top of The Bomb!". I think she's talking about the earthquake fault line. I mention the house wasn't just a fixer-upper, it was a "rebuild-er". Arrive in some house walk in to the garden, wife is there, I'm looking at the flower/strange plants, different base/top, tall & spindly stems with flowers on the end

+ in some friend's house in a party situation. My wife arrives with our two young sons and has brought pizza. The pizza is wrapped in white paper and I'm unfolding them on low tables. There are more and more pizzas, this must have cost a lot. I see ham and mushroom. I'm looking for a pepperoni and find one, there are two large round pieces of pepperoni stacked one on the other on the slice I take. I then notice that the low tables/couches are all gone and there is a (3-4" diameter) hole in the floor, I look down in the hole and see the subfloor and think this was the work of [former colleague] RyHo (company "3"). I "know" this hole is where the underside of the couches connect to the floor so they're held in place.

+ I'm in a house with two guys, the owner and some professional guy. The owner is apparently gay and his partner guy comes home to see the other (professional) guy there and I think he may misunderstand and get jealous/sad, but the professional guy is there to cheer up the owner's BF. Then I'm the BF and in a bubble bath prepared by the professional. There are strange living being's faces strapped to my wrists. I put my hands under the water/bubbles and take them out and I notice the face on my right wrist's eye blinking away the suds. I think what a great idea this bath is and these things on my wrists also a great idea.

+ flying DO over a round platform/field covered with small black/white robot beings which are moving around. There are strange beasts rolling on the ground to the side, like a big tortoise with long legs leaning on its side and displaying some weird genitals underneath. I'm hugging the muzzle of some large animal like a horse or a big dog and kissing its snout.

+ I'm in a classroom sitting at a desk, there is some equipment like a pair of eyeglasses in front of me. The teacher for the class is telling us for next time we should upgrade to the "664" model of the glasses. I ask the teacher if the upgrade will be lasting for the remainder of our class. He says that actually the "564" model is good enough to last the rest of the class.

+(f) I'm "backstage" with some beings in colorful robes. One of them is Satan. We're hugging each other. I'm a bit leery of Satan. This happens twice.

+(f) in an area with two very long rows of picnic tables end-to-end. There are piles of clothing on them. I'm moving my clothing out of the way to clear room on the first set of tables.

+ I'm observing my dad playing a difficult war board game. He's playing the side of the underdog. Right at the start he places units which he says are grenade launchers with a secondary unit that increases the grenade launcher's efficacy. He also places another set of units in another place. I know that moving fast and playing aggressively at the beginning of the game is the underdog's only chance. I'm impressed with my dad's knowledge of the game and the characteristics of the various units.

quick notes for now:

earlier:

+ flying/riding outside on snow-sprinkled rocky boulders mountains, deep dark tall elevator shaft, "4 guys agreeing to make the movie", hallway of elevator doors and rooms with girl, young folks sitting watching TV one guy with dreadlocks eating cereal

+ walking through dimly lit [DS] house, confused, always choosing wrong room, "oops, wrong room" (walk in on two people, don't see)


+ Django, walking up steep street telling pack of young men the benefits of it, how it has a HTML preview layer so you don't have to debug using only the DB [FALSE]. I question this statement later and suspect it's wrong and they might find out

later:

+(f) the open refrigerator, I remember cleaning it [FALSE]

+ indoor garden, tree with pears impaled on branches, I remember [FALSE] that I put them there to ripen, I take on off and take a bit. I go open the curtains to the outside, look down and see potted plants/succulents with water in them some plants have decayed but some live

+ son S2 is getting a haircut, I see the locks of hair being snipped off he says he doesn't want to short, I'm admiring the work and saying that the overall shape is still the same while being reduced. Then I notice a HUGE spiderweb in his hair and then it's sitting on edge on top of his head with a big freaky black&white striped spider in the middle, I lean to the guy next to me and point this out, then the spider is walking down to my sons's head and then we have a battle of blowing this spider back and forth between us each trying to get it away from ourselves. The spider just won't let go of its strand and fall to the floor. I feel partially paralyzed. The spider wraps itself in a bladder and becomes like a dark jiggly water balloon.

+ toy car track set: wooden train tracks, symmetrically built by two brothers. Very extensive. I see cars zipping around the track. I'm closely examining one of the raised "X" interchanges, moving a car across it, but it keeps getting stuck, I'm trying to see how the track can let the car by. I ask if this is a starting point? The boy points out another part that is the starting point with a little "catch" on one of the rails to hold the car. Then I accidentally hit a portion of the track and it starts collapsing. I try to scramble and halt the chain reaction but for a second it gets away from me. I'm eventually able to to reach ahead of the wave of falling and stop it, but the boy is very upset. I'm looking at a portion to see how to rebuild it, it was a raised section made from tiny toy birthday cakes with little teeny splinter sized colored "candles" on top. The little splinters have spilled all over. It's going to take a very demanding effort with tweezes to put this back together.

+ pack of toy cars given to "grandparents" the grandmother takes only a few: high detail cars, silver VW bug, "Formula 1" racer, I think my son shouldn't give them all away so he can give them to his own son in the future.

placeholder of summaries for now:

early:

+ at the pool, taking pictures of girls/mountain

+ RPG, +24 "sporn" armor

+ cleaning / sweeping thinking of vacuuming former home tons of items on the ground

mid:
+ watching a story of woman, guy standing by her sitting and unbuckling his pants, she's shocked says "I'll be happy to take it in my mouth, but not so soon"

+ [long, vivid, AL, near-epic] blackjack in the casino, not cooked shrimp, gay guy, lying on the ground outside with the fat women

+ at the craps table a guy has a loaded die (3), going for 5-5-3?, I'm calculating odds

late:
+ shovel roof, 250 meters, kilometer

+ moving computer equipment but it's plugged in, shoes, railing, plugging in network router to wall

+ outdoors scene from story with girl and olden/times / zombie? (cracked paint) girls

+ super short (dreamlet?), the cookie left hidden on the floor behind furniture

Something like 5 hours of insomnia starting at bed time. Irritated by the tiniest of sounds, usual sounds like cars driving by. Get up to read at about 4 hours for about an hour. Back to bed, still slow to sleep manage to sleep.

+ PTL former home digging in garage for Suzuki motorcycle, I see it, think about riding it again, will it start the gas will be super old inside it, pull things out of the way, then I can't find it, my wife told some guy to take it away, I'm infuriated and pin the guy up against the house with my right hand fiercely pinching his cheeks. I'm (lying on top of?) looking down into some garbage pit where soil is churning and gas bubbles are rising up through the dirt and escaping. I pull out some socks from the pit which have fallen inside.

Go inside, I see then a huge black Range Rover pull aggressively right in front of the window smack dab in the center of our front lawn. This also infuriates me and I plan to go out and confront the driver. Then I think better of it and go to tell my wife. She says "it's probably just the gardener." I go out through the side exit to the front [FALSE] and approach our front lawn from the neighbor's side and I notice an extremely bright light across the street. I don't remember this light being here before. My wife says she "put in a 75 watt bulb" (on the porch), but I know that doesn't explain this new light. It's like they put in a super bright street light right across from our house. This has be off balance and wondering for several moments.

+ practicing tennis serves on a court with some people. I'm using a short/mangy racquet? Im thinking about how to do good tennis serves. I toss the ball very high but it moves too far forwards. I get a really good one in that just barely does not clear the net, smacking loudly into the stiff tape at the top of the net. The guys I'm with mutter their approval, that was almost an awesome serve.

+ exiting the (parking?/food?) area by the open aired restaurant I have the check in my hand for a falafel plate for which I paid $5.29, I'm going up to the Asian chef who's busy, wait until he's available and show him the check, he looks at it, and I say that I don't see the two milkshakes mentioned on here.

+ there are people sitting in the tall cab of a truck. We're planning to go with them, but something is not right. Out front of the truck there is a slanted desk and (my wife? and) I are plugging in some electronic sound equipment, we're preparing to sing a song with the people sitting in the truck? (They mention they don't want us coming with them after all?)

+ in some hotel/office suite room, #1, which I've checkd in to, I hear the staff for the hotel talking asking about people who are going to move in to #1, I think no, I"m here. I notice some pieces of equipment on a table, and I know that they're old/outdated and not very useful, one of them is a black & white palm pilot sitting in an elevated cradle, I know it's not useful because it has no networking abilities, there is another piece of equipment, and I catch the sight of an old computer terminal screen (like an ADM3A)


I leave the room and head through hallways. My sister (unseen) mentions she saw an open restaurant/counter, I see it right in front of me. There is a Chinese woman in there straightening up. There are some flowers in vases in there? After some confusion with my sister talking to her (over a phone?) trying to place a food order I say something that she understands and she says "No restaurant, flower shop".
As I continue to look into the shop I see plates of food: there are 3 slots in a wall, one each for Italian, French, and Mexican, ranging from least spicy to spiciest. Then there area row of platters laid out about 5 dishes also in increasing order of spiciness. I can see farther now and I notice that the food counter is open all the way through to another side directly connected with another food counter with two young white people, a guy (and a girl) working there it's a different restaurant entirely (coffee counter?).

Along my right side stacked on the wall are sushi supplies. They are a special form of rice, pink in color, and the dish is for something called a "black snake"?, a curved mount of rice (with shrimp? Day residue), I see piles of pinkish long tubes/strands of the sushi equipment. I take something in my hands and take a bit bit of it and am chewing it. It seems to be a roll of toilet paper in plastic wrapping. I see ArGi [former colleague from "3"] there dressed in full surgical dress including face masks. I hear his voice clearly and it sounds like him and he says something.

DJ
Coding reading code graphics system connecting points in the code automatically wondering how I'd do that, manager says so it'll be ready tomorrow I think there's no way. I see the code clearly, and the way in which the existing system automatically can detect patterns and highlight them.

Sitting on floor with me legs out in front of me, JeTo (wife of PT) is near, were on intimate terms. I pull her to me so that she will sit facing me straddling me. She resists a bit initially or is a bit slow in complying but then she does what I want. I/we hear a noise upstairs and I/we think it's her husband, and I'm concerned about being discovered so we stop.

I'm with SuHa(grad school) in a room (on a bed)? I'm get behind her lean over her our faces are close together her face is really close to mine, but I know she has a daughter. She says that she has a ... And her daughter comes in and starts asking me questions. SH brings out a small pumpkin/squash from a closet and I make a joke by saying "Oh my Gourd!" but they don't respond to it

Grad school, talking about my thesis prof H. I'm counting the years to determine when I was there, I see ex-gf SB's eye up close, she? says how eyes and hair get grey with age.

In some barracks/dorm, lying on bench near girl, someone takes the bed? Leave and come back and I present my number to the guard, I'm speaking it but he has trouble understanding so I hold up the id tag for him to read, it's wrapped around my finger.

Melting the unwanted/troublesome ice in the closets/freezer on the outside landing. with a stream of chemicals from a pistol hose, I see a piece of the fence has fallen down (the left part), I'm concerned about falling there, I see the fallen fence about 6 feet below on the ground.

Sitting at desk at work gf comes by I'm putting on headphones, selecting a cassette tape and putting it into a player to listen to sad music, she is very melancholy I pull my left leg out from under the table then I pull out my right leg and offer her my lap to sit in, I take off the headphones and I'm a bit surprised to hear the sound of the song also coming from the cassette player, I press stop on the layer. She sits on my lap with her legs to the left and I pull her close, I reach my left hand around her right shoulder to her right shoulder blade and hold in there in a comforting manner. I'm a bit concerned about colleagues coming by and seeing us in this position [DREAM SIGN]. We put our heads together and I'm lightly kissing or trying to her face through her hair, and I want to ask if she regrets her decision of a bf (me) but I don't get any words out.

I'm m reading through a magazine and come to the middle part which is a big multi paged ad for (cars?) that keeps gong on and on page after page, I'm amazed at the length of this centra ad section, it is telling some story about guys on an airplane? The colors are very dark, dark leather furniture with black walls. I flip to the end of the magazine to find where the ad ends, and see story of a guy who chokes others, it pages become a video and a guy is choking another guy and running his fingers down the lying guys raised abdominal muscles.

+(f) camping on cliffs, open tent and kiss girl (duck lips) twice on 3rd lean in she pulls back

+(f, vague) I see (myself)? a fat toad-like crouched being, trying to see clearly

+ (vivid) putting out fires on the hills, trees, smoldering bark, branches, moving them into a fire pit, large smoldering branches, I look around and see more and more little fires present among the hills. We're here I think to put out these fires.

+ dunking (kids) in large pool for points. In each of 4 quadrants I either pull down or push down to the pool floor (about 12 feet?) a kid floating in the water (one is AndMar) and I want to get my score for doing this. For the rest of the dream I'm trying to figure out what my (big) score for these maneuvers will be. It's at least 50 points or more for each of them so I'm due hundreds of points. I'm looking up in my old (Boy Scout) manual, a thick paperback book with tons of little sticky bookmarks. I see several times lists of URLs for sites / documents that contain the scoring system. I want to go hurry to get my tablet or smart phone to look them up. There are about 4 URLs, one mostly numbers, one about 4 words separated by dots.

+f(f, vague now) there is a battle, star wars?, fantasy? with guys and girls.

+ in boy scout camp, by the lake, there is a man with dirty hands. I teach him how to wash his hands at the shore of the lake using the sand/gravel at the water's edge. There is a benefit to doing this: I find a shiny quarter in the sand. Then I find more and more shiny metal coin-like things. Some are soft metal and I can bend them with my hands, some are light/fake collectible coins like the kind offered in gas stations in my youth.

+ (vivid) fantasy adventure: dragonfly bracelet fly up to level above, computer terminals filling up with other casual adventurers, looking for keys I know the terminal is up ahead, use it and get the skeleton key with 4 matching skeletons vertically stacked, elevator, gun turrets, crouching down, companions snickering at the artwork in the elevator, but I pull a panel aside and I like it. Emerge walking through room decorated or Christmas with rows of tiny bows on tables, so light that the draft of our walking past them stirs them around.

+ surprise garage sale outside my garage put on my college friends, pianos, woman checking them out "it needs a tuning but the action is good" I say

+ someone put up a temporary wall in my garage around the "office" [FALSE], I enter through the door and wander among the tightly packed workspaces, each one about 4 square feet, trying to find a monitor that will give me privacy [DREAM SIGN] but there aren't any left. 3 girls already have chosen their spots up against a wall.

+ star wars FPS: picking up ammo, shooting, igniting light saber, trying to avoid setting off the explosive charges. I move one such charge outside a room to a hallway

+(f) in (sister's bedroom in CH?) lounging with some kids on a couch. Some guy comes in and I think will chastise me.

+ I'm describing/showing to my (wife!?) and someone else the pictures of the girls on a large screen I'm planning to ask out, they're names are there too they're [foreign]. I show the one I like and the observer says "She looks 12 years old"

Scene with a girl (the one I wanted to ask out), she's very athletic and doing exercises, I think her former boyfriends are also very athletic, will she like to be with me?

+ I'm with a friend (Don Cheadle) who wants to take me out on the town. It's night. I don't want to go all the way to the big city

+(f) position in a game of pool. I'm planning a carom shot. I'm going to apply english to the cue ball and use it to "throw" the object ball in to the pocket. I then make a slamming shot the balls zip around and I'm sure one is pocketed.

+(f) playing chess: I'm gathering a handful of pieces and plan to play a "rook only" game. I drop some of the pieces, at one point I drop the king and pick it up

Recalled dream from last night:

+ I'm driving in a "Kit car" Kit. Kit, from the Knight Rider TV series. Everyone is driving them, they're very popular, lots of them are driving up and down the hilly street. One guy didn't get the hood right and so it is is propped partially open with a metal stick.

+ I'm back in B near the university, I come upon a HS friend (BeDo) and I think he won't recognize me because of my weight loss. I know that I'm not really here, or that I don't live here any more, I'm really happy to be here for a visit

+ driving on road with scenic vistas, hills over water, there is a very picturesque winding road just ahead of us, we stop for pictures in middle of road, we're blocking cars in both directions, a car is waiting ahead of us to come by in the oncoming direction. He waits a while then squeezes by on the left. Another oncoming car (red sports car?) comes by and barely squeezes by on the left. We have the emergency blinkers on, I'm nervous about having stopped here like this in the middle of the road.

+ in group of kids, sitting on floor in room, one boy has his legs painfully and firmly sticking into my groin: I move his legs, it's hard to do, they're very stiff, he complains "you're HURTING ME" then afterwards "you HURT ME" and he's very aggressive and then the group of them turns violent against me. I retreat into a bathroom because I have to pee but the sliding door does not close, I go into another bathroom and open the door to look out and they spray me with water which hits my forehead

+ in a professional-looking kitchen I appreciate the huge burner on one cooktop, the woman says "It's more of a stove" I turn on the burner and appreciate the thickness of the flame, and I compare it to our normal cooktop at home

+ I see female cousin KR and I reach my hand around her head and pull it to me and kiss the back/side of her head through her short hair. I reach to male cousin PR with massively swollen (10x at least, they're HUGE) right hand and right foot wrapped so I can't shake them, they're wrapped in tons of white gauze. He says he got poison ivy. I'm impressed with my cousins' property that they are going to the event they support each other. Later I'm walking back outside and I think my cousin PR will be impressed with my weight lifting progress: we'll have a conversation about what I'm lifting, I'll say a number, he'll say "pounds?" I'll say "no, *kilograms*!"

+(f) something about a woman riding or skiing through water at high speed?

+ walking through the hall of a small/medium restaurant. I look at the tables, people have food in front of them. Some of them have very large stuffed dough-covered dishes that are sliced open, and the hot oozing insides are leaking out onto the plate at a constant rate without slowing down

Again super late to bed, but some decent dreaming. Mind busy with work stuff so recall poor.

+ sexy time

Spoiler for sexy time encounter:

I'm having intercourse with a girl. I'm about to climax, and I think I'd probably better pull out and put on a condom. I do so and I notice that I'm already wearing one even though I didn't put on one before. I think this means she was ready ahead of time and put in the condom before we started so that when I entered her it would automatically slip on. After this we don't get back to business.

later:

+ preparing an advertisement using an image editing program, pasting a graphic in at the bottom and scrolling around to see the whole thing.

+ bunch of snoozing short scenes
Approaching a (strip club?), two women are talking outside on the sidewalk/parking lot, one young and hot (a dancer) and one older. The younger one is saying how she really needs money and business is pretty slow. I'm heading in that direction but don't want her to get the idea that I'd be a potential customer. Some thoughts about spending hundreds of dollars and wondering how much this would affect her financial situation.

I see (imagine?) a girl leaning on a building across the street, and how I could go and talk to her?

In a large open field, there are people (looking for?) and a dog, a man finds the dog, a woman leaves the scene, being the former many-year owner of the dog. I sob bitterly at the prospect of losing a long-time beloved pet like that.

late to bed (2am), stress at work = vague dreaming

earlier:

+(f) talking about fishing with someone. "If I'm going to be doing nothing standing around for a long time, maybe I should then be fishing doing nothing?"

later:

+(f) in a house when a lot of dwarfs come home (from Lord of the Rings?) a lot of greeting and back-slapping going on

+outside, huddled along a fence, with wife(?), in a small enclosure opened against the fence, someone says he likes that place and is huddled down in a corner. I'm looking at tennis shoes, I select two, and they don't match.

early:
+(f) scene in a store, kissing wife

+(f) FrJo is back, but he's on his own here now, my wife drives him somewhere?

middle:
+ semi-lucid: recognize the dream and feel myself transforming into the lucid state, but the transition is not successful and I'm a bit sad that I missed a chance to get lucid

later:

+ at LH, walking to right along parking lot on way home, see down in valley a campfire down below and logs laid out around it;
goofy dad driving car over trail shortcut, police, weird expressions on dad's face, tell him to stop with the weird looks, police man on hood of car, 2nd police van gets behind us; I think this is my first car (FF), I'm in front passenger seat. I think we should have it detailed, I'm looking at the dashboard, it is crinkled black shiny cushioned leather, looks pretty good already. I see the steering wheel and column and there are strands of colorful (yellow) cables/wires exposed. I remember [FALSE] that this is because some plates fell off. I think I lost them I should have taken better care of them, will I have to have that repaired before I can sell the car? Who'd want to buy it with all those cables exposed?

+ a long stick, a large structure, I realize it is filled with spider cocoons/egg pods and push it away, then I throw some fireballs at it (which works!), then I come up close and put my hands against it and shoot bolts of fire into the internals, so everything catches fire.

then I go below it and look for an entrance, I think I've been sneaky but I see my BF MR is naked inside and is throwing/spitting things at me when I open a secret door so I can't go in

+ object manufacturing company gets an order for a full airplane. They can charge like $500 million. They take it on a test flight, how much will that cost? Probably at least $1 million, they roll it out onto a runway then is inside some open-walled giant hangar, and it takes flight and it is a giant paper/cloth airplane that is filled with air like a sail on a ship and flies spinning ahead and everyone jumps for joy and pumps fists in the air that it worked.

Walking there I'm passing by desks/chairs/tables outside and I see purple books which are offered for sale, used, about $2 each, they are books of coupons, I want to stop and take one but I keep going. Some have stickie notes attached to them with musical scores or other notes from the seller

+ the twin child emperors, reclining on their bed/cushion. Someones taking pictures. Long strands of we tentacle things in different colors underneath the bed. People are lining up for food items which are very expensive, the place has many boxes of sushi supplies like fish. Someone's saying "ebi....ebi...."
