FryingMan

to bed late (not by choice), ~1am

+ team-based conflict. Sabotage: one guy used an incendiary clicking device to attempt to ignite the underground gas lines via the electrical outlets and blow up several city blocks. "You can't escape" he called out. I ran anyway. Through a door, a guy far stronger than me was pursuing, but I had prepared a small pitch-fork just outside the door and picked it up and stabbed him putting him on the ground, and I called for reinforcements and they beat him up on the ground.

+ (f) returning to the cages, a tiny (female?) dog had been rewarded and entered the cage of my old dog "L". L came along later?

alarm @ 5.5 hrs, very tired, got family member up, back to bed. Alarms are terrible for recall. I had to reach to remember the above.

eventually summoned the will to stop following random thought chains and implement my Back To Sleep Mojo (tm) with the intent of lucid dreams. It worked again

BTS mojo: start with deep breathing. Totally relax and let go of everything: tension, thoughts, all trying and effort. There is a very special "sinking" feeling for a moment at the end of a long exhale when you successfully let go of tension and start to sink deeper. What I do then is try to hold on to that "deep sinking" feeling, including during inhales and exhales. While breathing, I sometimes imagine I'm breathing through my "3rd eye" in the middle of my forehead. Breathing in dream energy and breathing out tension and thoughts. HI may begin during this time. Try not to focus on them, but simply remain lightly aware of them.

+ I'm walking outside in an apartment complex (small, 2 story) in between buildings. It is dark (early morning I think). I hear a sound to the left and look up and see a man through a large sliding glass door [DREAM SIGN], he's doing remodeling in his apartment. He's using a scraper on the glass door, and it's really squeaky and noisy, I think it's rude to be doing that at this early hour, it could bother the neighbors.

The building on the right of me also has a glass wall on the 2nd floor apartment, I know there's a woman in there I'd like to sneak a peek at. I'm staying below the window and trying to remain unseen. (The light comes on?) I sense she's walking around in her robe. I hide under the overhang, and her legs in the reflection of the glass via a building to the left. I think that means she may be able to see me, too.

At one point my wife comes out and I try to hide but she sees me, she's in her bathing suit I guess she's going for a swim/sauna, but she doesn't suspect me.

LD#176 (2/10 goal for LDs for remainder of Feb)
I felt sure I was waking lucid in "my room" in the dark. The room seemed right. I sit up on the side of my bed, and notice vague bits of furniture about, including an alarm clock? [false]. I have a small bit of trouble maneuvering out of bed, but made it OK. Decided to head outside and fly into the night sky and explore the city at night and have fun. Pretty high awareness, and very clear. I get outside and look up at the sky. I think the stars were "beautiful" but in retrospect they were pixelated like computer graphics, and the sky was rather gray not black. The stars were swirling around the sky a bit, interesting. I went to take off flying into the sky and I hear suddenly and unexpectedly a very creepy male voice behind me that startled me and freaked me out a bit, he barked out some statement that I didn't understand. I took off and looked behind me and very very clear and vividly saw two guys on top of the roof of a building. I circled around to go fight them. summoned my lightsaber in to my hand, at first it was the size of a pen with tiny little bumps on each end like a miniature dumbbell from the gym. I reached over with my right hand and "pulled" it which extended it, at first too large, then pushed back a bit and got it to be the perfect size. landed, hit the "on" button expecting awesome sound and visuals (but they were kind of weak like usual), and started fighting. There were several opponents and more coming it seems. Tried force lightning on a 3rd guy who came on me from the right: extended my right arm straight and made a "claw" with my fingers, but managed only a few sparks at best. impaled several guys with the blade at close distance with lunges, one in the chest, one in the face. several good swipes, but just not the vivid blade and effects that I want. There was a bit of resistance to swinging the blade, like swinging a sword in water.
I'm losing the fight, they're getting their attacks in close to me. The main opponent almost got a swing (he had a lightsaber too I think) to land on me, I had to sacrifice my saber to block it and then jumped backwards off of a pier to escape. In the distance in the water some people are standing on a platform.
I climb back up on to the pier a bit away from the fight and look at who's here. It's sort of an open area, looks like a party is going on. Right in front of me, my attention is grabbed right away by a lovely blonde woman in a sexy, revealing, white evening dress. Her hair is in a medium-length braid down her back, and her right side is facing me.

Spoiler for sexy time, explicit:

I approach her and notice as I'm approaching that she's naked underneath her dress, and see that she has a nice patch of blonde public hair. This gives me a "zing" because true blonde pubes are really rare. As I approach her she is now sitting on a bench with her legs slightly open, and I'm kneeling down in front of her. She is looking at me and giving me a playful smirking smile. She is naked now from the waist down and I get a great view of her very substantial bush which is a large triangle of thick, but short-cropped blonde curlies. I tell her "Excuse me, but you have the most beautiful hairy p***y I've ever seen!" She shifts down a bit making her (ahem) fully available to me, and I dive in for oral. It is an exquisite moment: I feel the moist, warm, flesh of her cleft for a few seconds before

the dream fades.

1/10 LDs for remainder of Feb. accomplished

earlier:

+ driving around the area, hills, freeways. Stop on a very steep hill. It's so steep that if you walk on it you may sleep and slide down it. My mother gets out of the car across the street, and I'm telling her "careful!" but she walks towards me. I'm concerned a car may come down the street. She comes over and squats down to pee on the side of the road. I'm looking for people approaching and I think I see some so I stand in front of her, I feel a bit of her pee splashing up on to me.

+ water slide
I'm on the top of the steep hill near the LH museum in the B hills. They've built slides down the hill. I go on them. I think that they could make loop-de-loops because the speed would allow it. On the bottom of the hill there is a sort of club, the place that manages the slides. I'm looking for a bathroom. There is a sign of a sort of shower bench displayed outside a small building, I think this means "toilet" because old people could down on that bench and stick their butts out the other side and use the toilet that way. I walk in that direction. There is a business meeting of the developers of this slide complex there, a bunch of men standing around a table under a canopy. One man is talking authoritatively and using a lot of big fancy words and jargon, and someone says "that means he doesn't really know what he's saying." I start to climb up the slides for another ride, but I realize part-way up I wouldn't have to pay if I just started sliding down from
the middle, so I do that.

+ childhood home
I'm in my sister's room, wishing I had some good NSFW magazines, there is a black satin sheet on one of the twin beds with a suspicious dollop of liquid on it and I wipe it off. I know my dad's around so I head for my room. There are what appear to be muddy footprints on the ground I think from my climbing around the slide hills earlier, and I reach down the pick them up, then I realize they're flat dried animal turds. I want to wash my hands. I hear a radio show featuring a bunch of angry young SJW's, and among the shouting I near a voice yell, "yeah! Throw the f^&*ers in the river!"

later:

+ kitchen, sex planned, guy in the bedroom, little dog with key in its mouth opens the safe and out ride the toy firetrucks which can sound the alarm

+ with a girl in a "house of ill repute", not doing anything, I see advertisements written on the mirror that say things like "sex" and "hardcore". I notice I have fuzzy hair covering all my fingertips, I head to the bathroom to wash this off. The girl leans over and she's wearing a very loose top with no sleeves and nothing underneath and I get a good look at her right breast.
I ask her tentatively if there are "additional" services available, thinking about what was written on the mirror. She says "Yes, with two guys at once, with a banana and a tomato." I can't imagine where the tomato would go. I say "uh, ew, with another guy is not interesting."
I hear the doorbell ring. I guess it's the next customer. I'm scrambling to get my clothes on when some people come in. "I'm still getting dressed!" I say. I rush to put on my belt and I see that my belt is inside-out, oh well.

Then two young boys are snickering at me and saying "his pants are inside out!" I look down an indeed that explains my belt: I put on my jeans inside out, they look white and I can see the seams. I run to the bathroom to fix my pants while the people come in and make themselves comfortable.

I'm led to a small bathroom, the man who showed me the room says be careful the floor is slippery, I look down and there are a couple of amber-colored (vitamin-E, fish oil looking) capsules on the ground. There is also an open curtain to a tiny bedroom with a made-up double bed in there, part of the business operation I imagine.

A guy is singing near me (in a shower?). He has a good voice, and sounds like Frank Sinatra I think. Then I'm getting sprayed with water from this guy via a shower head and I say "HEY! I need to go outside in these clothes!" He says "you're doing it yourself". While not strictly true, I see I am also holding a shower head which is spraying water so I hang it up.

I'm heading up the stairs to the garage (in CH), the people including the wise-ass kids are at the table. Narrator or me or someone ways "I never expected to see someone like them in a place like this." Then the kids say to me, "Yeah, but we *did* expect to find a person like *you* in a place like *this*." Wrecked. I feel like cursing at them and giving them the finger. I turn around and head up the stairs and say "wait until you've walked a mile in my shoes."

Up on the street outside CH, there's a large (moving?) truck at the intersection, and a middle-aged woman standing in front of the L's house. She asks me in a very thick German accent, "Do you have any cash?" I think she's moving into the neighborhood but I'm confused about what she wants with the cash.

a BTS victory after about 8 hours in bed, yay.

+ LD#175
I'm walking by an indoor basketball court. A short blonde man is playing with somebody else, they're playing one-on-one full-court. The SBM makes a layup on the far basket. Then they play coming towards the basket I'm standing under, and the SBM makes a reverse layup right in front of me. "You really like layups don't you?" I say. And I say how I was pretty good at layups. I dribble the ball towards the opposite basket. I dribble the ball onto my foot and it goes shooting off to the side and I scramble after it and bring it back. "I was never very good at dribbling, however. I was pretty good at making shots, though, see: " and I try to make a basket from about 3 feet away and can't get anyway near the hoop. The ball just bounces right back off the backboard. Hmm, I'm having trouble. Maybe it would be easier without the basket? And the basket vanishes.

Then I'm sitting down near a glass wall [DREAM SIGN] to the outdoors, and I'm leaning forwards on something and falling asleep. A scary female figure comes and stands up next to the wall and I feel a tingling of fear, but I ignore it as I'm trying to fall asleep and then make the transition to the dream state. I feel a kind of shift and decide to try the advice of 'if you think you're dreaming, try to roll out of your body', so I sort of roll over and sit up in bed and I'm lucid. I have something partially obscuring my vision and I'm having a bit of trouble getting up off the bed, it's fairly dark in the room. I rub my hands together a little bit. I manage to get up from the bed and decide right away it's time to find some girls [sigh]. SG and ST come to mind immediately. I leave the living room and head down the hallway, now I'm in my previous adult home, I head for the bedrooms, the doors are closed, and I say SG, you're going to be behind this door! I open the door and look in the room: empty, with a futon on the floor, and a large sliding glass door which is open and heading to the back yard [false]. I then go into the other bedroom and call out for ST, but it is likewise empty. I then head to the master bathroom, ponder a moment, and head back to the 2nd bedroom and say "OK, come out of hiding now, here i am!" and I hear some voices say something like "here we are!" and the dream fades...

+ [EPIC!] "Sand Castle" farm

standing in fields, looking in to the main building, I choose 2nd floor office with great view of the fields as my office.

officers come by, they run off to catch a deer, they identify its breed

walk into office, odd lock on door, ceiling falling in sharp heavy glass everywhere, very dangerous almost trapped and cut to shreds. Boy this place needs work, extremely shabby. We spent over $300,000 on this place.

wake up in bed, my body is covered with red spots like mosquito bites. This place is infested obviously.

The place is called Sand Castle by the locals in a derogatory way, because the soil is poor and sandy. If it was put on the market, it would get no offers for months. We won't get our money back.

we become a couple's destination retreat for gay black men speed-walking marathoners. There's a competition held, it involves a huge slide on the course and someone must judge, I jump down this slide and end up by the pool. see couples walking, tents all around the place. This is how we're going to save the farm, and I tell somebody about this.

pool: I see fish in the clear water [DREAM SIGN!], an owl dives in to pick up and eat a dead pigeon lying on the right side of the pool. There's a salt-water flatfish (like a sole) on the bottom, who put that there? There are other fish around. My work manager set up a low sun-blocking shade on the left back corner of the pool area.

go investigate the land, craggy and rocky, tall excavated almost-cave. Inside smaller cave, there is an ancient line marking the passage of the sun. pick up the fence, looks better now. I find the spoon from my boy scout fork/spoon/knife kit, but a small boy wants it and takes it.

the passport inspectors come and my sister and brother in law watch how the immigration officers in this country check out my passport and residency document
-------
wake, amazed at this long vivid epic dream. recall it for a while. eventually gather the will to apply my "fall asleep fast" approach. more dreams follow

+ mini-car
There is a small red sports car, a man is driving it. He is a jerk, he's knocking people out of his way on the path, he's zipping around twisting mountainous paths. On the back of the car are the words written "range; 10 minutes on a charge." I think that's a pretty useless electric range and say so, have a discussion about how this could be used: maybe it'll help you reach the gas station if you're out of gas, or maybe if you take this little car with you on a road trip on a tailer (it's really small, so that's quite possible), it's enough of a charge to get you to a store and back. It's practically the size of a child's push-pedal car.

+ garden bees
Down on the steps leading to my childhood home's back yard, I see that there are about 6 large circular planters arranged on the left side of the garden by the fish pond. I'm looking at them and I see that they're messing up the grass. I'm walking among them, and I think that they've been put over the place where I had planted mint [false] last year, I can't find the mind, there are some leafy plants growing, though. I should have put stakes where I planted the mint so I'd know where to look. I'm lying now on the grass with my head towards the right end of the yard, looking at the various flowering bushes growing on the left edge. One bush has a few grapes growing on it, "good, I could eat those before they're gone" I think. There are bees buzzing all around the flowery bush with the grapes. Some of them are on my shirt, a few on my stomach and a few on my chest. I brush them away but am concerned that they'll get aggressive. One of them flies into my ear and starts buzzing like crazy and I start shaking my head like crazy to get it out and I wake up.

+ waffle wrap
I'm with my wife outside on a sidewalk doing something. I "remember" [false] inside there are tasty marzipan cakes available at a counter. I go inside and ask the girl at the counter but there are no more left. There is a man at the counter perpendicular to hers who starts offering me things. I have trouble understanding him perfectly, he's speaking a foreign language. He switches to English, and this surprises me [missed it!]. My wife is offended at his speaking English and leaves me on my own. I wonder how I'll get the order right myself. One of the things he offers is a waffle wrap with syrup, and sun-dried tomatoes on the inside. I decide I might as well get this.

+ boy with the hair, deja vu
I'm in some public place and spot a boy I recognize. He has blonde and multi-colored dyed hair. He tells me about the situation he witnessed with me and some friends before, where one guy behaved very badly. I "remember" the scenario [false, probably]. Something with my wife correcting my pronunciation.

+ LD#174 Tsunami / call another planet ToTM Feb 2016 Advanced (i)
In my childhood home, looking out at the view of the bay below. The water is in very close. All of a sudden, the water pulls far back very quickly. I recognize this as the sign of an approaching tsunami. I go running around the house screaming for my family to all get out immediately, stop what you're doing and run out and let's drive away! I'm running around and go up to the 2nd floor, into my old bedroom and look out the window. The scene is quiet and tranquil, the city lights are flickering in the distance and everything looks normal. Hmm. Is everything OK now, or is the tsunami still coming? I decide to fly out to sea and check if I can see a tsunami coming.

I wonder if I'll be able to fly. I'll try to fly out the window to make sure. Maybe I'll just fall flat on my face. But if I can fly, I'll be dreaming. I feel entirely awake but am open to the possibility that I can fly [DREAM SIGN]. I take a few steps back and do a quick running take-off. Am I going to fall on my face? No, I'm floating towards the window now, slowly. I pull myself through the blinds and continue flying, slowly, I do a "superman with a go-pro" first-thrust to gain speed.

I realize I'm dreaming, and I can do anything. There are people floating in the sky with me. I do a quick "B.E. S.T.R.O.N.G." just-got-lucid ritual, really rushing and missing most, remembering goals. Remember ToTM and call another planet, I decide to do this one.

I decide I will summon my phone by doing by feel-only all the same gestures I perform in waking life: I reach down with my hands and lift up the flap of the pocket in my waist bag where I keep my phone. I pull the zipper open. I reach in with my thumb and forefinger expecting to feel the side of my phone, and I do! It feels completely like how it feels when I take out my phone when awake. I bring it up before my face and tap/push the button on it. Beforehand I decided I'd use an imaginary "voice activated calling" feature to avoid troubles with dream-dialing. "Call to another planet!" Just a ring or two and then an answer. I say "Hello! Please tell me your name and the name of your planet!". I hear the guy's voice clearly. Sounds like a young man, early 20's, with a wise-ass sarcastic tone. I understand him perfectly, he's speaking clear English. The planet was named (memory not perfect here) "Abbu Wabbe" or "Arab World", and his name was "Defeated Terrorist." He apparently really hated Arabs. At this point I was flying over the bridge and looked down and said "well, I bet there were Arabs on the bridge when the tsunami hit it, you're probably happy about that?" I then saw a replay of the tsunami hitting the bridge, it was just tall enough to hit the roadway, I thought it would be taller. It really smacked in hard and knocked everything/everybody off. I wanted to confirm the planet name and the guy's name, so I called back again using voice activation. I say "Hey, it's me again. Did you say your name was Defeated Terrorist of Defeater of Terrorists?" Another guy says "Oh, sorry, he went to lunch."
At this point I'm probably losing lucidity, and see the remains of a nice-looking lunch of some acquaintences seated at the table next to me, some young boys who say "I hope he calls again." I pick up a single small bit of bacon from his plate and eat it, it's delicious...and wake up

rough notes for now, wanted to get them down before I forgot them.

-------------------------
2016-02-13:

obama (signature, mom loved him) putin "tried to kill" sharp bbs (bat them away) he looks angry ("didn't I try to kill you?") poured 1-inch of scotch, "thank you, vladimir vladimirovich " (shake hands) for this awesome party

At TZ's birthday party. In a room of a house, close the opening because the little girl is scared?

I create a computer animation of patterns on a screen, I step back to watch it it's amazing, I start seeing things appear like breasts and phalluses and faces in the patterns.


-------------------------
2016-02-14

bridge, PaJe and drunken wife, in car at top of Mar. with Gal. driving car gets in accident, group says luckily nobody got hurt

bus to work

visit friends house large house open fields, fawcet, offer work, decline, give lunch, it's a watery bowl of "soup" with one tiny piece of rubbery liverwurst,
go to restaurant "why? because you gave me a bowl of water"
walk through several Mexican places, think "I've had enough of this, I should get pad thai"
but go into another mexican place with chili and order some

driving somewhere it all goes dark, look back behind me for the entrance, confused, how did I get here, I feel myself pulled into the side of the darkness
wake in bed with two girls: SB, and another one. Get up, open the doors to the next room, 3 kittens run in and hop on the bed, one jumps up at least 1 meter in the air with splayed legs and plops on the bed, I must have been feeling cats in the bed in that dark place earlier.
SB asks me about work again, I say I can only contribute on weekends, she gets upset and says that's not good enough, she may have to hire "Luke".
outside, SB and I have made love (details forgotten), I see 2nd girl walking suggestively on her hands and knees away from me in a skin-tight leotard looking amazingly hot, especially her a$$. I follow her and we're then lying on the sand naked and I'm getting a BJ from her and I move to get into a 69 and the scene transitions?
Now I have both girls smitten with me, this will be trouble. I see 2nd girl again, she is holding a bottle of wine and smiling at me, saying "This is for later." What shall I say? I don't want to hurt her, so I say "that's great!" I see SB watching us through an opening in the wall.
SB is mad, we're moving to sit down on a bench outdoors, I lean forwards and look back at the bench I'm about to sit on through my legs, and I see up SB's skirt while she sits down. I sit down and put my arm around her.
Back in SB's bedroom, we're getting up from bed and I tell her "you should go ahead and just hire Luke." We're throwing the blankets back on the bed. She has a buddhist shrine across from her bed. I display my "yoga sklils" and am trying to do some odd position which is like a half-handstand with my head down, hands on floor, arms bend 90 degrees at elbow, and I'm trying to place my knees on top of my arms (the part which is horizontal to the floor). I'm looking for a good spot to do this, I see a corner on the wall but I don't want to fall into the wall. The floor is carpeted.

+ (f) at work with young colleagues

+ instrument got all mixed up, in the music room of the instrument makes, tons of instruments and parts of them strewn all about, including "instrument making class" where I try out the student projects, funny overlarge mouthpiece, they say "this is a professional player"

+ pool, girl with misaligned bikini bottom and exposed bits, great view, follow her around, she notices me, group of people in water, they drain the water out of the pool, time to get out

+ (f) in a hallway playing awesome scales on my instrument

+ (f) girls scrubbing the sloping cobbled floor with soap and water in a resort area

+ standing on a road in an area nature of a big/medium city (my hometown), struck still by the view of a beautiful untouched wetlands area, go on a long monologue telling a guy standing there about how it's such a shame that this place used to be so beautiful now it's all built up, but "that's progress," how everyone thinks "I should be the only one allowed to build here, nobody else," but since everyone thinks this way then that's how areas lose their pristine nature.

Then I notice his car (he's there with his wife [and kid?] on a [camping?] trip). It's a sort of two-level open jeep-like thing. Very boxy, orange/yellow colored, open. The driver's seat is up on the second level, and on the first level there is a large covered area. I climb in and look all around, appreciating and telling the guy that you can fit all kinds of things in here, that you can sleep under the covered area very comfortably. I tell him about my cars, I mis-remember my last big minivan, then I remember it and look and see that it now is a huge motor home, slightly confused by that. Get it in with my wife and pull a U-turn and drive away, almost wacking the people I was just speaking to with the back of the van which whips around very fast. Wife tells me to be careful an I realize I always forget about the back whipping around thing when making a tight turn.

recovering from a string of underslept nights.

Dream boundaries? Who knows, a jumble of scenes:

at work with work colleagues talking about tech stuff?

+ ted cruz walks by (man that guy looks just like Ted Cruz!), it's his birthday? He asks why are we sad? It's his birthday?

birthday girl (pretty)

billiards guys one is cheating by hitting the cue ball with his cue stick twice per shot
they go down stairs and the roof doors close over their heads, barely enough room to fit

a girl is talking to a guy, (it's a TV show?) about how she's glad that she slept over so many times at his house and he never tried anything with her. He gets progressively more turned on and climbs on top of her.

Then she's "screwing in" a dildo that looks completely life-like to some base. I'm starting to get uncomfortable since I'm watching this show with my sister. Then she's topless but it's clearly a rubber facade that she's wearing on top of her skin, the cover goes down below her belly button and at the boundary with her real skin there's a lot of colorful confetti.

Then she's on her knees with her butt facing the camera and I'm thinking I should tell my sister something like "wow TV shows sure have gone downhill lately" and how we should just turn it off.

night:
+ in a large outdoor park, with a friend. I'm concerned about a lion. A lion shows up, and we circle around a large patch of shrubbery trying to keep the lion on the other side from us. I make my way to the exit, and notice the park attendants (who are nuns?) are closing up the park, I notice multiple rings along the walkway, this is used to close the area by stringing a cable through them?

nap:
+ I'm in a room with a long piece of rope I've just constructed. I'm whirling one end of it around trying to crack like a whip. There are some people outside (the master and his apprentices) who are probably enemies. He enters and I hand him my rope to inspect. It is uneven in diameter and I mention this. Towards the end there is a very well done, smooth section, and he seems impressed with this part. Towards the end where the tubular casing finishes, he asks me, "did you run out of tape here?". He peels open the tape and takes look inside, I think because he wants to see how many strands the rope is made of. I think rope is made by braiding together smaller pieces of twine. My rope is really strong.

A group is walking along the rooftops of buildings outdoors. Upon some signal, a bunch of them take out name tags and put them on, this is to disguise themselves when they start the attack.

In the distance, a large floating air vehicle (blimp?) is rising up from behind a building into the air.

dreamviews/safari ate my ENTIRE DJ ENTRY for today. Only re-posting one-sentence summaries for now:

bedtime: midnight

~ 5 hrs:

+ train

WBTB: 45 mins to 1 hour

+ LD#171 blimp ToTM Basic II (sky)

+ LD#172 paralyzed, sucked into sky, cartoon bridge

+ LD#173 "L" science museum, girls, kiss, ask to dance, kiss

BTS

+ (f) offering pizza to friends/guests in a house

+ caveman: oral attention to girl

Late bedtime again. Need to fix this.

But a very long night of dreaming. At least I didn't get up until about 8:45 hrs after bedtime instead of just 6 like the previous two nights.

+ cleaning leaves in street outside CA home, there's a group others are mad, I say it's OK I'll do it, the angry peole don't want us to do it, I notice thick, heavy pieces of fairly shiny metal (like a steel horse's hoof?) in the street with loops in them, and I say we can recycle these, they wanted to get the money themselves from turning in these chunks of metal.

+ restaurant, déjà vu, another group of people with some women I "recognize" [false], I know I've seen them before [in a previous dream?], and it looks like I'm following them but I'm really not, I happen to be going in the same direction as them, some of the women notice and start teasing me saying I like one of the women there, I get annoyed and keep walking past them and put a hand behind my back giving them the finger as I keep walking on. Up ahead I see a friend and his wife [RiBe from boy scouts?] at another table, to and say I'd really like to sit at the table next to you to talk but I don't want to bother you, I keep talking and sit down still unsure of whether they want me there or not.

+ a plane must immediately take off, I'm on the maintenance team, we must do something very quickly with each of the 4 landing gear units. I'm holding a power screwdriver and for each of the four units I must unscrew and re-screw in a particular screw, there is a big sense of urgency.

later:

+ I'm in a room in a large area with a glass wall [dream sign] and I go to the door and notice on the ground just outside the door that someone has brought me a glass of white wine in a goblet. I open the glass door and shield the glass of wine with my arm from people walking nearby so they do not kick it and spill it. A small child (boy?) walks by finishing off the last gulp from a glass, the liquid is dark red. Is he drinking red wine? Or was it grape juice? I do not want to drink from his glass to find out, I take a sniff but I do not notice any aroma.

Back inside the room is JaCo from boy scouts. There is a discussion about [working hard?] he mentions that he works hard but because of "128x128" [?] he has limitations. I think that I should offer my services to teach a class on UNIX command line usage and editing, the exercises could include "delete the last word from the command line" (^E M-B ^K).

A small dog (flies?) by and lands in the upper area of a child's large playground construction. He pours a bowl of pasta and covers it with ketchup and starts to eat.

I'm standing in the area now on top of the playground tower and want to come down. I'm not sure of which path to take, I feel leery of the height. As I go to the railing the structure starts swaying precariously back and forth, and I hold on tightly so as not to fall off.

I look down and see a path and climb over the railing and start climbing down. As I do so there is a mother of some kids our kids were friends with n CA saying she didn't know what to do because of her frequent flier miles. I'm thinking I need to teach (her?) hot to tie some basic knots.

poor sleep, frequent wakings
bedtime around 10:30pm
phase 1
~ 04:00

+ reaching into a mass of cob webs strung over a chair, putting (taking?) something from underneath where there is apparently a freaky dead gnome zombie/skeleton

phase 2

+ My wife wants to do a prayer at a holy place in a grocery store, and I'm stuck unable to speak and can only desperately point at a black woman (ghost?) who comes up behind her of whom I'm terrified

+ Driving around suburban neighborhood, see a group of kids and some adults returning home

+ A baseball player makes the final catch in a neighborhood ball park to win the championship

phase 3

+ In an office building, there's a guy trying to write (love?) notes (written in nonsense) to my wife, "sssh" my wife says, here comes the cleaning woman," she looks really weird, she's here to clean up the Christmas presents.

+ LD#170: I get pulled up into a building where I get lucid, reject caveman mode, and try to teleport, resulting in a FA.
I'm outside some tall abstract building, it's dark. I try to fly up but can't. I see a part of the surface of the building has a circular hole that you can grab, I grab it and it the whole thing moves up, I think this must mean I will go up, too. For a second or two I do not move, then I'm drawn upwards. It sort of tosses me onto the lobby of one of the floors high in the building and I slowly float to the ground. "I'm dreaming," I realize. There is a small cabinet on the opposite wall, is it a mailbox? What shall I do, something with girls? Nah, I'm not feeling the urge. Let's teleport to my favorite destination again! As I imagine the destination (I'm aiming for right in front of the fountain this time) the scene fades, and I get "woken" by a loud sound from my wife and loose lucidity into a false awakening (rest forgotten).

+ Tour of a small pond with lots of fish in shallow, clear water [dream sign], tour guide says "This is the home of Freddy the eel."

late bedtime, ~1am.
Some tranquilizing herb tinctures before bed (hawthorne & motherwort, no valerian this night).

3 phases of dreaming. Very vivid and present (V&P), "alternate life" level dreams. Some long-term dream signs (returning to city S, reuniting with ex-gf SB in city S) but nothing shocking to jog lucidity.

mental journaling, no recording done until this writing

wake about 05:50 (~5 hrs)

+ house construction, architect family is building it for themselves, massive empty pit with walls dripping newly poured concrete, house will be 50,000 square feet enough room for everybody

then in house, looking out window down cliff, put knee on ground to be safe before opening window and looking out, a screen is there anyway, outside on side of cliff on deck, look at the stone of the cliff it's beautiful, wife's pottery wheel seat [false] is a bowl carved of stone, when she gets up she has me sit on it to keep it warm for her

some guy is drinking too much, he shifts to energy drinks, so now he's both drunk and hyper. Move to other drinking guy's neighboring garden, spray (insecticide?) on on lawn, son is there goes into outhouse, I expect the sprayer to open the outhouse door and spray the son and expect to hear a scream of shock from him, but never happens

+ conflict. performances interrupted by conservative protesters, I get in the way. In the streets, a respectable CEO I recognize [false] gets out of this car and attacks me with another guy. I'm confused, isn't this guy a respectable businessman? He hates me and wants to hurt me, I'm trying to dodge, he's throwing apples really hard and trying to pour his drink (beer?) on me.

I am with some friends and I'm still upset about the CEO attacking me, I'm packing up the Asian meat dishes in take-out containers and throw it away. I say I'm sorry for throwing away their meat.

In a presentation, a young girl moves to interrupt the show, I get in her way and push her back.

In a small bedroom, partially eaten sushi take out containers on bed, girlfriend comes in and I start telling her about the "fucking conservative" guy who attacked me earlier and how I was dodging apples. But before I say "f.c." I think, is my gf a conservative? I can't remember, I don't know how to say what he is without insulting her politics.

phase 2:
+ outside daylight, horse, picture, hug and kiss its head, smell its warm rotting apple breath like apple cider vinegar, avoid its biting mouth

+ house party, wife insults guests by blurting out to me, "it's after midnight, when are they going to leave!?"

+ pizza [dream sign] freezer display, many varieties of frozen pizza offered by a young guy, none look particularly appetizing, he throws some away

phase 3:

+ with ex-gf SB [major dream sign], in her house, I can move in. I can help with rent, what if her rent/mortgate is $2,400 a month, I can pay $1,200. SB is in kitchen I walk in and offer to help her with something, she's putting things away, washing dishes? I find out her knee is cut I offer to clean it for her, she accepts and asks "after that, can you give me a back rub?" I think "yes! back rubs were always a precursor to intimate contact with us." we go to sink it's full of dishes, I pick up and move a pink bottle of pink skin lotion I remember [false] she always used, I "remember" the smell, and set it aside. I prepare a set of cotton swabs soaked in a stinging antiseptic, it is a strange clump of multiple swabs at different angles with a plastic handle. I'm kneeling/squatting near the ground and next to a wall/door/ with a window, I look up and out the window and see a pure blue sky, I think the sky is beautiful and am happy that I am finally moving back to city S [life-long dream sign]
, I apply it to injury ( a small chunk of skin cut out from area just below kneecap) and she cries out as I do so.

flying DO overhead, SB is a terrorist bomber, she has planted bombs in buildings throughout the region. I see the bombs go off and the buildings collapse in on themselves. The entire ground is rippling with the force of the explosions. Her own house is affected by the rippling, so that people think she is not the bomber, but her house is fortified and just rolls with the rippling and does not collapse.

sandwich shop with SB. We arrive at a table (in a food court?) and I offer to go get sandwiches for the both of us. I go in, and realize that I don't know what SB wants to order. I don't want to leave and lose my place in line. I'll order something safe and neutral like a chicken sandwich with vegetables for her. When it is my turn to order I ask for <something?> on an onion roll. I change my mind and order a reuben [true, favorite sandwich]. I see the guy is making it on white bread, that's not right, it should be onion roll. No, it should be on dark rye. The sandwich maker is explaining the sandwich he made to a (Russian?) woman there unhappy with her sandwich. It is open and there are layer of meat, he is using a fork/knife to turn over each layer of meat and name it explaining what it is. Some layers of meat have a raised impression on them, he's naming each kind, the final one is a <something>-salami and is mottled with spots of fat like large salamis. I decide to go out to SB and ask what she wants, she wants a "salmon-something" (in foreign language), of course, I remember salmon slices is her favorite sandwich [false], I go back and order it, I'm looking in the meat display case for the salmon slices but only see things like "fat salmon" (in foreign language) which is almost all fat. The Russian woman is complaining about the salmon slices she has.

+ in museum-like place, I'm throwing a deadly boomerang/frisbee like thing about the size of a 10-speed bicycle rear gear assembly, it has razor sharp small blades around its rim, and it rotates extremely fast. it "thunks" into things it hits. It returns to me and I catch it and kiss its flat metallic top, it is my friend, it's sentient. I place it underneath a table among a set of other gear assemblies, it attaches itself with very strong magnetic force, I will return to get it. Some other guys want to pry it off but I lie and say that's only possible with moving some lever first.

+ floating in water with team including wife, I take off my soaked shirt over my head, and tell my team to strip down because wet clothing doesn't keep you warm and just weighs you down.

+ blowing up an inflatable kiddy pool, there is a huge leak and air rushes out, I think I should find some glue to repair this pool. The pool is ready, there's some kid's party. There's a small little slide a few feet high and the birthday boy climb up on it, it is tiling to the left a bit, that should be fixed. He looks up and me and slides down the very short (2-3 feet) slide onto the ground. He does not appear happy.

+ (f, impression) I'm seeing a NSFW picture of a woman from the behind with her head looking backwards and rotated 180 degrees upside down, I wake up [probably a new dream forming and woken by noise/movement by wife].

+ (f) I'm looking at the skin of my lower back which is itchy [true], I see some small raised red bumps

+ (impression) camping? wet/muddy roads?

+ I'm new on the job in some (factory?) where they weigh things precisely. One of the things weighed is some food, but I inexplicably take a bite of a tray of food with some hot dogs on it, knowing that this change in weight will mess up our readings. I manage to find the willpower to put the hot dog back on the dish.

There's some celebration. The old guys and some new guys are going out. I'm jealous, and wish they'd include me in the festivities. Someone who is not going to eat the party food offers to give me (her?) plate.

I'm watching some anime, still pictures, that I notice when you play in a loop look like the characters are having sex. I'm lying down holding a blanket over the screen so no one will see. A kid from the cubical next to me raises up the blanket forcefully in order to see what I'm watching and I try to hide it but he sees. He crawls under the blanket with me and says that he has some stuff even better, he'll give it to me on a flash drive. I think this stuff is illegal. Then there is some plot to give the flash drive to a secretary who will then give it to me and when I accept it I will be arrested. I'm trying to figure out some way out of this.

DO view of young people talking, one is a young woman who is trying to warn me of the danger of my situation.

Some kind of game-show like situation I'm playing, involving getting the timing right on getting flashing lights to align properly, then the shapes emerge from the emitter, travel along a path on the ceiling, make a 90-degree right turn and merge with other patterns on another track, and go forwards a short distance, takes another 90 degree right turn and moves along another track, back to the scoring gate which is on the same board as the emitter. At that point a score is displayed.
Because of the trouble I'm in with the flash drive, my score of 45,000 is reduced: an animated (moose? deer?) character shaking it's head in disappointment emerges on the screen, takes the 45,000 points away off-screen, and comes back with 4,500 point display, which is all I get.

I'm in the shower with a girl, I'm washing her and drying her off, she leaves to go to meet someone else?

+ elevator

I'm taking the elevator, I'm in an office building and I'm leaving work for the day, a few others are taking the elevator as well. I'm looking at the choice of floors to go to, initially I press "1" since I plan to leave, but then my attention is caught by the descriptions of the other floors. There are bars and restaurants, and one is something like "Cabaret -- dancing girls!" I choose that one, but since I earlier pressed "1" the elevator skips is and goes down.

Then the elevator seems to be just a platform moving between floors with no walls or ceiling. The levels are large open rooms, with differently colored sumptuous materials like marble. A few people are drinking beers at a long bar. I feel how I'm moving up and down, and I think this is great practice for learning to levitate in dreams . I get off on one floor that has a buffet of large fruits and vegetables.

+ druggies

Outdoor urban street scene. I'm crossing the street, and step down from the curb. In the road is lying on her back a (naked? topless at least, flat-chested) young woman with brown skin, a man is hovering over her, trying to get her up but she just flops around unconscious. I "remember" [false] that she is a local druggie/alcoholic and think there's not much we can do.

I then notice a very erratically behaving man in his late 20's or early 30's, dark hair and eyebrows. He is ecstatic and obviously on some drugs. He declares, "I've been trippin' since yesterday!"

A young man (late teens) sees this and voices his approval: "Yeah! Yeah!"
I want to discourage this approval of the drug lifestyle and say "Yeah, until you start barfing blood!"

Young druggy: "Nah, man, I never let myself get out of control. How old was your old man when he was 18?"

Me: "My old man was 18 when he was 18 and never did any drugs!"

young druggy: "Ah, he was old school!"

+ across the river from my home is a campfire we left burning in the park. I can see it clearly. I'm thinking that I must go put it out, I can't leave it burning or it might spread to a large fire. I head out to the bridge to the left to cross over and go put out the fire. I pick up a bucket and I plan to fill it with water to douse the fire, which is growing larger. Many people (30 or more) have called to report the fire still burning. I say "I know, I know." As I approach the fire, I notice that a group of young people across the river have been throwing small shields that look like miniature (1/4" diameter) Captain America shields with a little star in the center. They are arranged on the sand on the ground in a sparse rectangular pattern, and they continue to throw more. I kick them out of the way and they're complaining and say to let them finish throwing them.

+ standing on a country-side building site on a hill. There is an empty lot next to a lot (on the left) with a house standing in the middle on a steeper part up the hill. I'm wondering who owns the empty lot. Is this the place we should build our new country house? There is a large billboard to the right of the empty lot and I try to make out a name but the words are all fuzzy and unclear.

+ (f) some awards ceremony, even though I wasn't born in this country I'm honored with a number of medals/awards given to veterans.

+ (f) son S2 is given a major life choice and he's having a hard time making a good decision

3 phases of dreaming
3/4 capful valerian extract before bed

2015-01-24
bedtime approx 23:00-23:30

2015-01-25

major wakes @ around 6 hrs, 08:30, dozing until 11:30

+ first phase, medley of dreams:

motorcycle/scooter unstable riding the throttle grip is thick and not perfectly cylindrical I almost fall over but recover, the road is blocked so I start riding on the sidewalk, reach a fence, a partner arrivers without the guy we captured, then what was the whole point we must go get him, I climb under the fence, wet cement ground, park w/pond/pool drinking fountain

dogbert the stock analyst, "I'm good at pooping and analyzing stocks"

making a phone call to a business with area/zip code 00001, "maybe the'll just have an answering machine"

Someone claims that the people who become cops are fundamentally racist?

Leaving some place I see holes in the streets, curb is full of thick roots

The egg board demo of organic eggs vs. regular (breaking the regular egg on the wall versus the organic egg on the wall, watching them roll down the driveway and comparing there residue of whites they leave on the concrete)

folding the shirt it is a kind gift, the song I sing is beautiful, I start out humming then move to full vocals at the conclusion they say I have a high pitched voice but then I give a demonstration of my low tones, pooped in pants desperately searching for a bathroom around the house to clean up before the smell becomes apparent a guy doesn't let me in the first one I find a second one with two stalls, I'll have to completely remove these pants and wear my swim suit as pants, keep pooping but it's a broken toilet I see the splats landing down inside the open bowl, if I flush this may just go everywhere all over the bathroom.

cop show ride-along, black cop is describing the job and uses profanity, I observe him and his partner enter some house with guns out, there is a startling noise and the cops spin around , the perp is sitting on a couch but gives up peacefully, quickly moving to lying down on the floor in the kitchen of the house

The letter from Laura

Letter notifying us that the house near my CH is for sale, my wife says we may want to buy it and refurnish it instead of rebuilding our country house, but I think my mom has already passed away. The real estate agents are former boy scout friends (I see just their names on the papers), and the house was a house containing our old troop's treasures.

2nd phase, very short dreams
+ LD#169 couch jump float teleport tried to roll out of bed

+ "68" with beautiful dream girl

+ another sex dream leading in to a book of links to girly material called "Mens Magazine"

+ narrator says that "things we encounter early in life determines what turns us on in adulthood", a guy watching "spongebob" on tv says "I don't feel very stimulated"

+ 3rd phase of dreams, another medley:

car tipping over steep slope "Stop! Stop"

girl throwing rock at me in the (sauna?)

In shower in aqua park, people arrive, the woman dives into the floor, phasing through it, I'm concerned that she may get stuck in the pipes below the park but others are not concerned

sitting around in groups of people coming and going, waiting for everybody to arrive so we can leave

Christmas tree attack: the guards are bad guys in disguise, the good guys jump out from hiding and escape through the Christmas tree portal

In an amusement park, the group of people rub up rudely I think to me but I notice the large girl/woman who did the rubbing is blind. Then a carnival ride with several girls with very short skirts and whose legs fly open wide while riding giving an excellent view, they're only wearing skimpy thongs underneath.

Orchestra conducting, first fake, then real, a brass/trombone piece, confer with the conductor about the tempo

2016-01-23
Very tired from exercise in the day, but want to insure good solid sleep tonight as I have an early morning appointment.
about 10:00pm: capful of valerian extract in water
bedtime: 10:30pm, 1mg melatonin for sleep

+ (f) climbing/jumping down stair path
I'm climbing over railings and jumping down long a path heading downhill outside in daylight. As I land with my feet I'm concerned about the weight my legs must support as I land.

+ epic!
walking outside past store fronts on urban street, notice the design of the store fronts near the ground is very art-deco, San Francisco-like, the materials, designs and the colors.

enter (my?) school building . they're cleaning the steps, must avoid the wet part, walking through corridors that go up and down stairs, I want to find the exit because I never could remember the way out from this side (far side from the entrance) of the building. There's a guy there I don't like, I'm becoming concerned/leery of him. Exit is through ladders leading down scaffolding. Guy is following me. I leap/slide down the ladders, heading down very fast. In massive area like a huge hanger, high up on scaffolding/ladder/walkways, I'm flying/jumping down from walkway to walkway, and take a huge leap towards the ground. I'm concerned a bit about legs on landing but they're fine.

I land on ground finally and there are piles of things on display scattered all over the place. I see a motorcycle(?). There are pallets of books, I see the covers with writing on them but don't pay them much more attention. I'm with some friend now and say "hey, why don't you take a book?" He does and then a security guy runs out of a building and after him, the stuff was being watched after all. "Put it back! Put it back!" I yell at my friend. Later on walking forwards my friend (now BF MR) picks up a giant hollow molded plastic Halloween figure from an outside display, a dwarf wielding a huge battle axe in a two-handed overhead strike, and strikes the axe on to the ground several times. Each time the axe head hits the ground the figure plays a recording of the dwarf saying something really funny. An exasperated security guy is chasing my friend to return the figure.

I'm walking through a crowd of people near a club. A very excited/hyper man walks up to me and hands me two small spheres, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, partially transparent. There's a button on each sphere(?). There are two short words written on opposite sides of each sphere ("in", "out"?), which represents the name of a famous TV show. Inside the club, the personality from the show is hanging out/ giving a presentation. If you hand him one of these spheres, he will hand you back his business card. I wondered what the point was of accumulating multiple of this guy's business cards but didn't ask. I look inside the club and see the personality, half-recognizing him up on a stage speaking with people around him. The club is really crowded and I think simultaneously I could go in and rub up against women, but I'm concerned that with so many people I might be pick pocketed.

I'm sitting inside the club in a cozy corner with some people. Everyone is sitting in a comfy armchair or a couch, and we're talking. Across from me I notice a very flamboyant woman. She's a bit overweight, not extremely pretty, but she's very drunk and acting fairly wildly, speaking and gesturing around. I noticed mostly her hair: she had *huge* blonde hair. Even though I wasn't very attracted to her, I found myself imagining what it would be like to make love to her, with my arms wrapped around her with my hands on the back of her head, with that hair cascading all around me, my arms and hands, I think it would feel amazing. A small guy (in a purple outfit?) who had been earlier sitting to my right sneaks into the armchair next to/underneath the blonde haired woman and I think he's so fragile that she may squish him.

I'm now standing in the middle of the club. A dance is about to begin. There are people all around. I'm standing next to a really hot girl in a yellow wrap-around tight dress standing up against a railing.

Spoiler for explicit sexy time:

I squat down in front of her preparing to give her some oral attention, but she says, "No! There are so many people around!" I move to the next hot girl standing right next to her to the right and do the same, and she is enthusiastic and begin oral focusing right on her "button". It feels a bit stiff like plastic [dreamsign]. I'm giving her a good tongue-lashing, and she is gasping and moaning when I hit just the right spot/technique. I reach around back with a finger and insert it into her v-jay, but she's very tight and it doesn't go in much. At one point I move my tongue a bit "north" and feel the shape of her mound and the two major outer lips and the cleft between them, it is small and shaven and feels fantastic, then I return to the "button" for a while more with her moaning more.

Outside the club, it's dark and I'm walking in between buildings, there are gatherings of scary gangs of burly, rough men and I'm skirting them to avoid them. I emerge out on to a street and up ahead of me I see/hear the fast firing of heavy missiles into the sky. The sky is filled with brown billowing smoke where they launched and I can't see anything in/beyond the smoke. Someone says they "fired them towards Dallas." I expect some return fire but can't see any missiles returning through the smoke.

Crashing the ballerina party, hunt for a bed/privacy:
I see down a driveway to my right an open door and inside the house is a pack (1-2 dozen) of petite ballerinas, each wearing a white, frilly tutu. I'm instantly drawn towards them and enter inside. I lean/squat down and take one into my arms and say "Happy New Year!" and kiss her. I get a bit of a kiss back then she pulls away and looks shocked/surprised. I move to another and do the same, say "Happy New Year!" and give her a kiss, she kisses back but she's hesitant. They're moving away from me now. I find another girl and say "Happy New Year!" and kiss her, but this time she's enthusiastic and asks "can we go to bed?" Woohoo, I think, she's both willing *and* eager, she's inexperienced I think but has heard that it's best to make out in bed. The search for a bed begins. This house is super crowded, there are tons of people in every room I look in to. We walk through multiple living rooms,

Spoiler for explitict sexy subject:

In one living room on the table is a penis-shaped & colored dildo with its base attached to the table and sticking straight up, and someone is practicing fellatio using it, bobbing his/her up & down over it.

but there are people everywhere. We come upon a small den and look inside, it's rectangular shaped with a little kitchenette/burner on the left wall. It would be a good place except that there is one man standing inside. He's saying that this is a good place to come after emerging from the (bomb shelter/basement?) around the corner. Ah, ha, that sounds like the place for us. I go around the corner and see a doorway expecting some down stairs but there are no stairs, just a room on the same level. We enter this room and it's deserted, with a (work table?) bed-cot like thing further inside the room, perfect, finally! We go to it and I see it is more of a medical table made from bright treen car tires/rubber. I jump up and straddle the table, adjusting a platform to make it more bed like, and wait for my friend to join me. But then more people enter the room, young guys, and someone is saying "There's a guy walking around here with a fake German driver's license!" I think they're referring to me crashing the party and kissing the girls, but I know nothing about a license so am confused. One guy is staring at me with a goofy big grin on his face, like he knows I'm the one they're talking about and has caught me.

wake: ~ 07:00
alarm set for ~ 08:00
reviewing awesome dream, trying to get to sleep, alarm hits, I've been awake for an hour.
decide not to get up for appointment, try to sleep/dream some more
BTS

dream period #2:

+ jaguar/leopard attacks me in CH parent's room on the carpet between bed and sliding glass door to deck. deja vu, this happened before? It is on the bed I am on the ground. I hold it off by sticking my forearm into its mouth, while I look for a pen on my dad's desk to stab it in the head, I wonder if its skull is too hard to penetrate.

+ in small cabin, there's a ghost here I think. See two small doll/action figure hands on table. I think the ghost will animate them and it does

Spoiler for sexy time:

and gives me a hand job. My erect (ahem) is standing out over the table, and I watch as one of the action figure arm/hands moves towards me and the fingers of the hand curls around my (ahem) and moves up and down. Feels very good.

+ in a friend's house. The wife is in the kitchen. Two small dark haired boys are playing in the living room. One is about 3-4, one is about 1-2. I reach down and pick up the 3-4 year old, it's been so long since I held a child in my arms! Boy he is heavy, I say so, the wife says "yeah he's about 40kg". I see the smaller boy by the sliding glass door [dreamsign] leading out to the garden. I take the older boy and lie on the carpet and look out of the window to the garden. The wife (or my wife) was talking about the vegetables growing there, including peppers. There is a bench with a pack of bananas on it, I know this is just sitting there, but I tease the boy and ask him if there is a banana tree in the yard? Then I point out the rows of pepper plants. A bunch of pale green bell peppers are growing there, I see them clearly.

+ semi-epic
Arrive to place where ancient high-tech civilization had been, but now is maintained by current-day people who do not understand the earlier technology but keep guard over it.

I walk among the area where the capsules are located. I know that they are fountain-of-youth capsules. They are embedded in the ground, which is slightly sloping downwards, made of a smooth black glass-like material. The capsules are aligned parallel to each other, with the foot pointing down the slope. There are some active capsules, with green indicator lights shining which I believe means that the capsules are functional.

I walk to a corridor nearby and encounter a female "friend" who is I think middle-aged. I tell her about the capsules, and that we can become young and healthy again by using them. I go back to a capsule and open it. Inside I see hundreds of small lights (like small Christmas tee lights) arranged in rows and arrays of rows. I also see a pack of razor blades in the cover: the only thing you have to provide these capsules in order for them to function is razor blades and (something else). I want to try out the capsule's fountain-of-youth and health feature, but it's so old and inactive for so long that I'm concerned it may only 1/2 work and what would be the result of that?

I return to the corner hallway nearby, and my attention is grabbed by something in the corner, I look up and see a (naked?) girl on the top bunk of a bunk bed, she's holding herself in the top corner of the room like spider-man in the corner of the walls and ceiling. I "remember" that I saw her there before. There's another girl with her, and I ask who she is, and the answer comes "her groupie."

I encounter my female friend again, she's standing right in front of me and I'm staring at her face. Something is different, I think she's used the fountain-of-youth capsule! I tell her "I detect a new vitality about you" I'm really studying her face trying to decide if she looks young, I decide she is.

Then the guardians of the capsules are after us, we must escape! A rescue force is waiting for us but we have to distinguish ourselves from the guardians so our force doesn't attack us. Someone decides we should hold skis in our hands to distinguish ourselves. I think "is that going to be bulky and heavy?" There are skis leaning against a corner, and I see that there are small child skis there too, with poles, so I pick up a pair which turns out to be very colorfully decorated with which (3-4 inch) stripes of different colors completely covering the top of the ski. I ask "will this be OK?"

I still want to use the capsules! There are guardians there, I go back towards the capsules but am blocked by the guardians. One is female who is saying "he wants to come and use it!". I think I'll never get to use it.

finally out of bed: 11:00
