I've just got too many waking life concerns roiling around in my head. Slowly the jet lag time adjustment is coming around. Generally sleeping 9-10pm - 5-6am now. +(F1) Cars, I'm in a car, trying to start it, there's a guy who stands in front of it, the car is lurching and not starting because I forgot to put in the clutch. There is a view of a lot of new cars around and I think (my N colleague JW?) wants that one over there. +(F2) I'm talking with someone and they're referring to a 3rd person, hey are you talking about my Jr high best friend DD? I see a picture eventually and yes, it's him [looks accurate in the dream]
Spellbee2's Spring Extravaganza Competition 2016 (I always date my DJ entries with the new day at midnight's number) 2016-04-10 20:00 COMPETITION START 22:00 bedtime 2016-04-11 00:00 (night #1) asleep 05:00 wake with recall, room is stuffy, nose is blocked, get up +(D1) battle in a large rectangular open stairwell with stairs running up/down all around the walls [DREAM SIGN], I'm flying and jumping between the levels and battling the opponents. In the end I win and chain the opponents on a large ledge next to a big drop-off, one opponent is just a head with hands popping out, there are two more opponents sitting dejected on the left two positions. The chained head is in the 3rd position on the right. I direct the chains to flex and push out the head over the abyss and so it will fall to its death. I'm thinking the other two guys are totally at my mercy and hoping I don't do the same the them but they didn't like the head guy, either. I jump out and float/fly down and the head is still alive. Then the head turns into a hot girl and I get a bit bold [DREAM SIGN] Spoiler for bit of a sexy time: I go up to the girl who's sitting there leaning back with legs spread and dress hiked up and panties exposed, and reach for her (ahem) and rub it a bit on the outside of her panties. I ask her in a sexy voice, "Do you like that? Can I do this?", she's spouting a stream of talk and takes a quick aside to say "yes" before continuing her nonsense. I then reach inside the panties for direct contact with her (ahem) and it's all gooey and greasy and oily and I say/think we need to get you cleaned up. +(D2) I'm driving towards my neighborhood [FALSE], approaching an intersection, and turn right. My old place is just ahead on the left, and I now am DO and someone else is driving, some people who don't like me and are wondering if I still live there. As the car drives down I look to the left and see the row of low bungelows including mine, the front door is open, and inside are large desks, it clearly is uninhabited, I've moved out. The people will probably be happy that I'm not there any more. Going forwards, it's like a typical CA apartment complex with parking spaces arranged all outside the low buildings. I'm looking at the spaces and see they're all empty. Where are all the people? Away on vacation still? [a bit of beginning critical reflection, I'm thinking about the experience]. Up ahead there is an apartment with some decoration on the outside, at least someone is still living here. I'm looking at the car ports, some of them are covered, and some are not, some are reserved for apartments I think, and some are not. The covered single space carport doesn't leave a lot of room for you to get out on the side. The view turns 90 degrees to the left and heads in to an open uncovered spot but it's right in front of the stairs and this is probably not a free spot. +(F1) blue sky and sun, I'm outdoors with my wife daylight (by a motel swimming pool?), I look up at the sky and notice it is a pure, even, cloudless blue with a single bright round white/yellow sun in it. I remember the sky was like this earlier. I point it out to my wife. +(D3) On the street outside childhood home [DREAM SIGN] with my kids, there is a lot of firewood here that needs chopping somehow. I don't know how I'm going to do this. Ah well, might as well man up, get an axe, and do it. It'll take a while because most of the pieces are too large still for just an axe and need further heavy splitting by a mall or wedges. I have an axe with a small very sharp head but it doesn't fit well on the axe handle. My son is also setting chopping wood with axes, and is setting up next to me. I make sure we separate farther apart so that we don't hit each other. I'm trying to fix the axe head on to the handle and it's not working [DS]. I try to put a little metal wedge in the head of the handle but that causes the handle to splinter and split. I'm reading the instruction manual for the axe head, which while of foreign manufacture, has its instructions in English [DS]

+ (f) I'm near my ex-gf MB, she's looking good wearing a very short sheer negligee thing. I smack her on the butt playfully and she giggles a bit at that. Then a bit later she presents something to me. + (f) outdoors at a playground on a hill there is a girl and her dad (?). There's a button on the side of a crypt that if you press opens a door into a secret place. In a yard I'm with a guy and we're by a back door (there's a pet animal involved?)
From memory from about a week ago: + I'm outside, with my arms up on a fence or a car hood. A bit white bird (like a goose) has grabbed both my hands with its feet and is over me in the air flapping its wings desperately, trying to carry me away. I feel the force it is exerting on me but it's clearly not enough to get me off the ground but the bird keeps trying. I think this is hilarious and call out for me kids who are a few feet away to check this out, "Hey! Look what this bird's trying to do!" + I'm coming up on my first new car parked outside on the street. As I walk along side it I notice that there are 3-4 people sitting inside the car. I open the front driverside door and see there is a guy sitting in the driver's seat with a short stub of a cigarette/joint in his mouth, he's smoking away. I get really mad and scream at them all to get out of my car. At first they don't move. Later I get in the car and I notice they've: 1) taken all the change from the change drawers, 2) taken away the door lock knobs (old push down/pull up kind), 3) taken strips of the paneling off of the doors. I enter a fast food place (McDonald's?), the girl from the smoker group in the car is there with her mother. I ignore her even though I notice her, and I know she notices me. I go up to the counter and am trying to select the right kind of shrimp dish, the chef offers several different varieties including a "scampi" looking dish. Back outside, a crowd gathering of young people on a stage. Some of them are smokers from the car thing? In a back porch of some kind, there is a table with food on it. Inside the house is a young, fat girl eating some creamy thing on a cone. I use this as an example to my son, "see, if you eat that much cream you will get fat." In the backyard of a large house. Some people are moving into the bungalow back there, I don't want them to move in there, I find out my wife has allowed them to live there. They have chickens and dogs. I am very against the dogs being there. There are two small/medium sized dogs and I take a liking to them and pet them for a while. A crowd of supplicants arrive to ask me favor in the backyard, and I drive them out of the backyard on to the sidewalk and close and bar the fence behind them. I then turn around and head back into the yard, there is a little "moat" line that I must cross on a little rickety bridge made out of something like thin sticks of bamboo that are sharpened, I think this is a good way to keep people out. Inside the house more supplicants have arrived. I shoo them out of the door. I then turn to the house keeper, "Tanya," and tell her that we should say "thank you but no," and not let them in to bother us. She is visibly flustered at this direction, and says that the prior owners didn't have this policy. "I'm the owner now and this is my policy" I assert to her. I'm standing inside the house looking at a very large, tall mechanical contraption. There are rows of spools pushing some kind of long wide ribbon around at high speed, like an automated factory. At first I think there are LEDs attached to the underside of the ribbon and at regular intervals the LEDs are flashing a signal into the structure. It seems like some giant weird printing press. It is really big and full of moving parts all working at once. In front of me there is a feeder providing more and more of this ribbon thing into the machine.
2mg of melatonin at bedtime to assist in jet-leg time adjustment a lot of dreams all night long, many wakings, no recording so early recall detail mostly lost +(f) dream about lucid dreaming, talking about it +(f) something with fogelbise + I'm in a place outdoors and I go to a locked gate to let somebody I know inside. I then lock the gate. Then (3?) people including an adult male and adult female with tanned skin appear and I know they're expecting me to open the gate for them. But I don't want to, I shouldn't open the gate for just anybody. I stand there and eventually unlock the gate, they come through. The woman walks forwards and down a path ahead, moving through the area. Something about shooting arrows? I'm in a building to the side of the path, and have a long key in my hand and I insert it into a large, circular, strange, curvy lock. I turn the key and pull the key out and look at it. One of the key's 3 "bumps" is now slightly bent in order to match the curvature of the lock. I'm walking past some people sitting on a picnic blanket (on the sand?) and recognize them as my father and sister. I'm standing over them looking down and I "recognize" my father's watch so I know it's him. I know they're there to honor my mother who passed away last year. I walk to a corner of the sand area and offer everyone to come over there with me. I lie down and run my arms through the dusty sand and say "it's great over here!". There's a girl who's topless and I realize she has developed breasts and I look at her some more but never get a solid clear view.
Netflix series binge watching wreaks havoc on sleep schedule! 3am bedtime, ~4-4.5 hours of sleep. + (f) I'm getting a beer at the counter at a bar. Someone says I should put pepper in to minimize the ginger. I put in too much pepper, "aw crap," I say. I pour out the beer to separate it from the pepper into another glass.
+ (fairly long) we're coming up on a building. It was an owner-built house. It is long and narrow and zig-zags a bit. I comment on its length, "easily 100 yards". Walking by on the left side, I look in through the windows and see people working in offices, that must be the administration for the factory. Inside, there are huge racks of supplies: paper towels and other paper products, bottles of cleaning/chemicals. I can't figure out if these are the products of the factory, or just supplies used in production + (f, vague) outdoors, enter a small cave-like building near a waterfall? + I'm moving through a crowd of people. There's a young girl walking by my side. We're chatting? I pick her up and carry her in my left arm like a small child, she's basically sitting on my arm. We walk a ways in this fashion. We come upon a plate of some red-berry pastries, I say we can't eat them because they've been covered with plastic wrap, but there's a plate with the plastic wrap already opened, so she (I?) eat one. I'm trying to move through a hole in a wall to the other side, but the other side is packed with people and there's no way I can squeeze through. + I'm lying in bed with a family friend (OA, blonde), we're intimate, I lean over and kiss her, cupping her head with my hand. She says "call me your beloved darling" and so I do. There is another girl, a brunette now, whom I saw earlier in the dream?, kiss her also. My wife walks by holding a bead and says not to use the bead? + I'm standing in an outhouse (at our cabin?), it is painted in pinks and blue on the internal walls. The underlying pink was painted over with the blue, which is flaking off?, I'm inspecting the colors closely. The walls are moving around and I try to center them back over the platform. I'm careful not to fall into the hole. The seat is missing, I look around and see it to the side, and push it back into position with my foot. + I'm supposed to give a speech/talk to some people seated in chairs, I'm trying to rapidly finishing a burger, my wife is there, the burger/onions are almost falling out of the buns so I"m trying to stuff it all in my moth There is an evacuation going on. Long tour busses are packed with people, I see them through the windows. In one bus the people are wearing uniforms like in a sports team. I'm not planning to get on the busses. + I'm negotiating the price of a taxi ride standing in an office. I'm confused if I can make it all the way to my destination, I ask for the price several times, "500" is the answer one of the times. The driver's going to McDonald's? Should I get out earlier (for a lower fare?), I'm generally confused about what's going on.
+ view from above of sleazy guy, look down from the ledge he approaches and stands against the wall below the ledge and I think he's going to sexually molest another man, or perhaps just pee on the corner. The sleazy guy is holding a little kitten and showing it off to everyone. I'm then down on his level and he presents the kitten to me but now it is a bedraggled, scraggly & nasty looking rat. The guy wants me to take the rat and let it climb on me but I move away, I don't want that. + (f) NMcK got fired? He's complaining to me about the group that got laid off? + I'm with a fire-arms instructor. He's showing me a gun and talking about the safety. I'm relating my experience with a fully automatic weapon, "how I held down the trigger and that thing just kept spewing bullets everywhere." Then I get out my favorite gun, a compact (kind of like an Uzi) automatic, I pop out the clip and look for a bullet in the chamber. I say how I like to use this as a rifle. The instructor is impressed with my gun. + son has shaved my cat and I see it completely furless (living room of childhood home) and think "ARGH, What did he do!?". Lying just outside my childhood bedroom door in the upstairs hallway petting my [current] cat, it really likes it and stretches out its front paws together luxuriously. Son S2 (and an old woman?) walk by in the hallway, he says "I'm tired, I didn't sleep all night" + nice naked puffy-nippled boobs on a hot girl sitting down in a crowd. I see her briefly from the front, then standing behind her looking down over her shoulder, then move through the crowd along the left edge positioning for another view of her and get another peek. I can't make forwards progress because there are too many people trying to walk in both directions in this "aisle." A young version of (my mother?) is up ahead on my left, there is a woman holding a food-service tray up over her head waiting for a clearing to walk back the opposite direction I'm walking in, and I stand aside to give her a land to come through.
+ walking by and into a basketball court that doubles as a racquetball court. Outside, I hear the loud sounds of strong shots in a racquetball game and the ball smacking into the walls (realistic echoing sound). A ball flies out of the court. I stand in the entrance to the court and am saying how this is a confusing basketball court that doubles as a RQB court. + roof top: I'm up on a roof top and there are stairways connecting the various levels. A guy has built this for himself. I'm walking around checking it out. There are some railing/observatories where you can look down on people at street level. It's evening/dusk/dark. + SG and I are trying to hook up but her relatives get in the way. She has naked pictures of herself that she wants to give me but we're prevented from meeting. Later on there is a naked shot of her v-jay that I see on a TV screen and I want to take a picture of that to keep. I'm thinking she could just give me her memory card and I could copy it. Her relatives are to the side in a small / very low-ceilinged place, almost like a box. Her female relative is naked apparently but is shy and pulls back. Her male relative is bleeding from shaving. The relatives look realistic. I look at SG again and she doens't look accurate, older and heavily made-up, like it's an actress playing her. + driving/biking on path in hills. My wife says to go "South West" [?]. There is a narrow bending path that I follow. Some other people get ahead of us. Biking down a bumpy (stairway?) I'm trying to avoid the front wheel of the bike getting stuck. + girls running for president (make out with one?), whom we knew from previous adult home area. They're stating their positions? + (f) cleaning the living room of former home + walking in some garden/house. There is a RGB LED light on the ground, with a larger rectangular incandescent-looking center which lights things around. I look at these lights for a bit. There is a (glass walled? [Dream Sign]) room where my wife is, she asks me "S-H-I-T?"
(About 3/4 hours after bedtime) + I'm chasing / being chased through an indoor multi-floor structure. I'm trying to lose the people following me. I jump/float down a deep stairwell to get well ahead of them but they're already there when I reach the bottom. I exit the area through some sort of portal which I then close and lock behind me, successfully trapping them there. Then I'm outdoors and there are trays of custom made (goat cheese?) under glass on pedestals, there are 5-6 of these all around. I look in at them and see several-digit numbers stamped on the "cheeses." A number like "7619" or "7615". That is so the customer can identify their order and pick it up. I'm wondering if I'll be able to get in my order in time. + (f) softball. I'm in center field. There is a play and I field and toss the ball to the infielder, which is a mentally challenged girl (?), I make sure she can successfully participate in the play and feel accomplished. + Street scene. I have a side view of a car is driving straight towards a road trap/block put up by a hooligan/(carjacker?). It is a trap set up so that the barrier is seen edge-on from the point of view of the driver and so very hard to see, but the driver will crash if he runs into it. The driver manages to see the barrier at the last second and hits the brakes and stops before hitting it. The hooligan is standing there right behind the trap. I'm on the street and attacking/fighting the hooligans. I'm calling out for my kids by their names so they can come help me fight them. + (mostly semi-LD) (something about interacting with Jr. High / High School friends?) I'm in an area with a lot of (students?). My attention focuses on the girls standing in a long line. I get a bold feeling, like I can just go up to a pretty girl and start kissing her. But I'm slightly hesitant, concerned about consequences. I decide at some point that there probably are no consequences, but I'm not entirely sure. I go up to a girl in line and take her in my arms and we kiss a bit. I'm thinking about what the other "people" around think of this. I take her to a room. Inside the room, the door opens and another girl tries to come in. At first I block her and hope she'll go away but she doesn't. Then I think "hey why not let her in to join us", so I hold the door open for her to enter. At this point she hesitates, and I reach and take her hand and lead her in the room, lean her up against the wall and start kissing her. Then I'm standing outside my childhood home on the street, leaning in the front passenger side window of a car parked there, there is a driver inside and my wife is in the front passenger seat. I'm animatedly discussing the ("lucid") dream I just had, how I was kissing these girls and how cool it was. Then I freeze in horror: I've just revealed my secret LD life to my wife! She is probably not going to agree that it was fun, she'll probably be furious. She gets out of the car and walks down the driveway and appears to be thinking about it. I'm expecting her to erupt in rage and indignation at any moment. I'm in a panic, what should I do about my DJ which is stored on my ipad [false]? If I don't delete it she'll find all my secret dream encounters. But I don't want to delete it and lose the history. I see her now walking from right to left a few meters away and she gives me a "come here" gesture with the fingers of her hand. I think the s^&t is about to hit the fan. But she seems to want to know instead how to clear some button on the upper right of her ipad.
+ in a close situation with a girl. It's like she's waiting for me to kiss her. I eventually work up the nerve to kiss her, and then we kiss a few more times, with me gently holding the back of her head with one of my hands. Then she's criticizing me for not being aggressive enough in being close with her. I protest that just kissed her! She gets up and walks over to some "guru" of hers and complains about me and asks his advice. While she's doing this in front of me I decide to start blustering about and speaking loudly and firmly about various things in order to make an impression of a solid, confident guy. The adviser doesn't buy it, the girl disappears, and the adviser comes in an (stabs me in the butt through my jeans back pocket?) + (f) outdoors, a hailstorm with massive (approaching tennis ball sized) hail stones starts. I see the giant hail stones lying on the ground, and yell for everyone to take cover. + (f) I'm walking through a man-made tunnel. They've dug a really big tunnel. I'm looking at the walls and things that they've constructed, they appear fairly strong. The walls and floors have a rectangular cross-section, not sloped/rounded like tunnels usually are. + riding some airship (my dad is driving?) up along a tall steep mountain slope. I really feel the G-forces of the ship/plane accelerating higher. I'm fairly nervous about the ship going too high, but then I realize that it doesn't matter how high you are in the plane, that doesn't determine its stability
+ spinning fireworks wheels are zipping across the sky, "I'm dreaming!" I declare but don't nose pinch and remain non-lucid. + fighting crocodile, saving wife, distracting it away from attacking her. Then I dance around to avoid the snapping jaws. I stuff empty 2-liter soda bottles into the croc's mouth. Then I feel bad about that and ask my wife if I should take them out, she says yes. So I take them out. We're moving fast down a road and I start flying, she (someone?) asks "what are you doing?" and I come up with some explanation. + in an open outdoor area with people, maneuvering through the crowd to rub up against and touch hot girls. + I hear a girl, our renter, screaming at my wife over the phone. Then I confront her in person, in a foreign language, saying she must pay, we have mortgate payments to make, etc. Then my wife appears by me and I tell her what I told the renter my wife approves. + jumping and running, a dog/bear thing is chasing? It's outdoors. There are some buildings up ahead. I jump and run and take a big leap into the air, but I end up heading right into the branches of a tree with no leaves and very sharp thorns/spiky branches and say "oops..." just before I hit it. + indoors with young people, there is a group of girls interested in us guys, we're checking them out. I'm arranging to get together alone with one in particular who likes me, we're doing playful/friendly touching but there are always people around. + riding a bus the driver is going crazy fast, I get off (into the snow?) + outdoors with groups of people, I hop up on a bus, turn around and see a girl I saw from before (earlier dream?) and leap down and boldly go up to her and kiss her. I'm semi-lucid but focused on the interaction. The girl fades in and our during the kiss. Then we're in bed and the girl fades in and out. I think I'm waking up but keep behaving like I'm in the dream with her. At one moment when she's faded back in I say "I love you!". I can't tell if I'm humping pillows while waking up or the dream girl. At one point I stick a finger in and realize it's not a pillow but the dream girl. After truly waking up I realize the entire scenario was full dream the entire time, it was a dream bed that I was in.
Pretty much no recall since Saturday, when I departed on an international business trip. Jet lag always does this. The dreaming will return as I adjust to the new timezone. I woke directly from a dream this morning and remembered the last scene clearly + driving on a bus, I'm driving so I can control it, there's a bus behind us and someone with me needs something from a woman (a tour guide?) on the bus behind us, so I'm trying to stop where they'll stop, we're ahead. In a road-side rest stop/shop, there are two rooms, we're in the first room, then go to the 2nd. There's a bakery counter there, and women behind the counter. They're selling pastries, I'm trying to get one, a young lady asks me if I want vanilla, chocolate, or *coffee!*, I didn't hear exactly what she said properly so I hope it's the pastry that I want, I ask for the vanilla and she takes off the cover and it's sort of a flat fruit tart and hands it to me. She catches the eye of another woman next to me and gives her a "look" regarding me, like she's saying, "This is the guy." I'm not quite sure what their attention is all about. The tour guide woman is in the first room, I suppose we should meet.
+ (f) something with colleague MWP walking in trenches? + ex-GF DB and I are standing close to each other and agree to reboot our relationship, "Hi, I'm XYZ, nice to meet you!" and we shake (pinkies?). She indicates a note that she doesn't want to read again, I (offer?) to throw it away for her, she says it's written in code. So I run to a (bathroom?) and open it and read it to see if there's any gossip about me. The code is easy to decipher, just interspersed words. The note becomes a large bookcase on a wall full of books, one book has my full name written on it. Books are falling off the bookshelve into my hands and I try to juggle them while putting them back on the shelf. + (f) chess play/talk with son S1, about pawns, I think d4/e4 is a good structure, you can storm your opponent with pawns, he asks if you should capture some + my son catches a mountain lion and puts it in a leash in the back yard, I think this is a terrible idea, it attacks and slightly mauls me, we bring it inside and befriend it, then when the animal control people come to take it away I blubber like a baby and hug it and rub its fur and say "I'm sorry I'm weak and couldn't keep you" or s.l. that. + Spoiler for sexy time: fingering and licking a girl's v-jay walk we walk down the road, she likes it, other people may see! + game "Fookah Farooka Flayah", a card game where you knock down 3 figures from your opponent by playing the right cards, there are some play money counters involved as well, several people are setting up to play + (f) skateboarding down and up a road on a powered skateboard where the on/off button is towards the front of the board, it runs out of power + a 3-foot volcano of smelly poop is in the house, and I run to the windows to throw them open to let out the small, then the house is overrun by a massive crowd of little kids (boys mostly) who start eating me out of house and home, I shoo them out of the kitchen then walk around eating a massive, flat, chocolate cake, sit at a table with a black woman (my GF?) and offer her some cake, she refuses, and I tell her that it's make out of "splenda" so she can have some it's not too sweet, she says OK, and tries a bit and really likes it. Someone congratulates me on losing weight, I say thank you. Then there is a DC / narrator musing statement about what happens when someone loses weight, do they stop hanging out with their friends whom they were with before they lost weight?
+ I go back inside my childhood home because we left it and I think I may have left a door open. Inside, I go to the alarm keypad code and start entering the old code, then I remember it has changed as I try to enter it, I try to remember the new code but can't. The alarm rings a bit? I leave out the front door and up the steps to the street and encounter there a guy who was leaving me some notes about stuff that was in my house? Outside on the street some of our stuff is laid out on a table. Oh, good so not all was stolen. A guy there says "Hey will you take a picture of me standing here next to your stuff?" I say OK. The guy then says, "HAH! Never take pictures of other people next to your stuff! They might claim it as their own!" + in the Sierras, not my camp but nearby, lovely mountains, lakes. Bunch of people there. I ponder the notion that people gather around by the campfire in camaraderie but back at some stay to themselves. + in childhood home? I snap open a newspaper and glance at the comics (seems to either be the comics section or the opinion page [same thing? haha]). I wonder what the world would be like if there were no such thing as thin paper but only thick cardboard, what would newspapers look like? + on a plane there was some big scandal where one type of thing got replaced by another?
