FryingMan

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.

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.

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

to bed late (1am), with some valerian extract before-hand

+ (f) on the road driving by LHS with people in a car

+ (f) in a (motel?) swimming pool, there are some girls there but I don't have my goggles

+ (f) conversations with some weird guy

+ scenes in an apartment:

walking down a hallway, spot a brown stain on the (white shag?) carpet. Poop? Coffee? I'd better try to clean it, I get a wet paper towel and dab at it. I should probably use club soda.

trying to close and lock a door. Strange deadbolt. Up-close careful inspection. It's very long. I need to screw on a wingnut to try to hold the door shut, but the bolt is getting in the way.

Party. Cleaning out the freezer. Emptying the automatic ice maker, there is tons of commercial ice in containers, that sort of rounded type with a depression in the middle like from hotel ice makers. Each piece of ice has a logo stamped/painted on it. I'm emptying out all the left-over soda into the sink. Except the root beer, I'll keep that. Hey, why not just keep all that soda?

The sink and the drain in the floor are overflowing and the floor is flooded about a foot of water. Manipulating both the sink and the floor drain. Eventually the water starts swirling and draining. There are a bunch of can lids in the sink I see after the water has drained a bit.

I still feel oil on my body from the massage, I'd better take a shower to clean that off.

I walk into a hallway and 3 naked pale-skinned guys are standing there drinking protein shakes. One is my gay roommate. I wish he'd keep this activities limited to his room. I look to the left and there are about 10 more naked pale-skinned guys doing aerobics in the living room.

+ strange bicycle. There are a bunch of them, how can you ride this thing its mass/weight is so high? A friend starts riding one of them around us in circles.

The toddler is scooting around in a little riding toy in front of his parents on a hill. He falls backwards and hits his head on the ground (not too hard). I say "oops! bonk!"

+ new man-made bird; swimming with signalling via color flashing

+ semi-LD fly @ CH, don't want mom to see me flying

+ work meeting, those who didn't file expense reports must stand up and recite their status

+ bad-guy team assault and takeover of CH, I flee with my cat, its food bowl, and my work manager and director. bad guys with bloody mouthed beards hanging out in CH driveway, girl chases us as we reverse down F drive, CC pulls a 180 and drives forwards, down Av. there is a pool, get out of car now it's a 1950's truck someone's interested in it and I give it a sales pitch. Enter some indoor place, a man gets into a rainbow colored baby crib. I'm planning revenge, a drone strike with missiles perhaps.

In McDonald's I'm sitting on floor watching TV, immediately next to me sitting at a table is the bad guy team, I'm observing them and memorizing their looks, trying to be inconspicuous. One of the bad guys recognizes me and stands up and goes and whipsers to another bad guy with his eyes on me, I get up and leave quickly not looking at them.

+ playing pool, strange rack, multiple diameter balls, examining pocket

+ stop at the shoe repair place

Another "ANA" like night. This time influenced by Jamie Alexander's ebooks: "Lucid Dreaming on Command" and "Meditation For Lucid Dreaming". The main thing about his approach is to focus your awareness in your head, forget your body, and "go deeper, let go." I choose his recommendation to focus awareness on HI.

I felt this is a lot like what dolphin does, staring at the back of his eyelids and waiting for FAs/dreams to appear.

The first half of the night seemed to take forever before dreams began. I may have been aware in NREM because at one point I moved on to my back and when I felt entirely aware, my wife told me that I was snoring which woke me up and I thought that was strange because I hadn't felt that I was snoring.

I kept trying to fall asleep to watching my HI and letting go/relaxing. Then the dreams started. Ordering not clear.

+ I'm on my way to get lunch, maybe I'll get pad thai. I encounter a (Round Table?) pizza place and go in, I'd love me some Kind Arthur Supreme! They have a buffet lunch going. I'm skeptical because I want the KAS, but I head that way. "Don't worry, " the cooks say, "we've made plenty of pizza for the buffet." I indeed see large circular clear containers full of pizzas stacked one on top of another.

+ semi-epic?
I'm watching some presentation. A woman is talking about a piece of real-estate. She's trying to conceal her location, i see location on address on street, I know where this is [false]. House is large, 3 rich families live there. Look for a long time at the column marking the left front corner of the property, it's being reconstructed/rebuild? Around right front corner to side, the buildings are huge, right now just construction skeletons with girders. They're like 100 yards long, the size of a football field, what would be in there, a gym?
Then my team is playing on the ground level under the construction, it's a soccer field. I stand back and watch for a while, we're scoring goals, they're making good kicks, too. Then I run forwards and start participating. It's not all that easy for me to run, like I'm overweight. We make a run for the goal, and I try to kick but my kick is weak, it's not a soccer ball but instead some small colorful triangle things (paper?). I kick to my teammate, and we make 3 goals like that in a row with me assisting. At one point the goalie is grad school classmate KA, then he's on my team and we're scoring a goal together.

Enter a restaurant with my team. We're seated at a table. 3 out of 4 of my teammates are overweight.

I'm walking among and looking closely at suburban houses. I recommended a painter to some friends and I'm looking at the results [false]. I observe the colors: deep, grayish blue main building, sometimes an odd variant of raspberry/mauve, very dreamy colors. These painters always do a great and careful job. I'm in the carport of one such house and notice that they've painted the foundation a different color (this one is the blue/gray house with a reddish/pink foundation). They've painted a slightly uneven line between the house and the foundation, but that is because the foundation is bumpy concrete so the uneven line blends in to the texture of the house.

I pull myself up to look over the the roof and get a quick glimpse in a neighboring yard of a large fluffy dog.

I then climb fully on to the roof and launch into the air and fly. I gain some altitude, to avoid the dog in the next yard. The dog is barking/jumping at me as I fly over. The dog jumps at me and falls off the roof into the garden. I'm hovering/circling about 30-40 feet in the air, a girl is walking below me, she has notes for me, she's upset about the dog falling off the ceiling. There are letters stuffed in between the pages of books. The girl is my daughter?

Down on the ground I enter the house. There is a woman and a boy there seated at a table. I get a close up view of her right eye. It is strange. She has parallel vertical age lines above and below her eye on her forehead and her cheek:

||||||
<o>
||||||

I think this is unattractive. Then I notice her skin on her shoulder and chest. It is exposed (no shirt) and colored reddish-orange and of a very strange texture: the skin is pulled and cut into regular rectangular arrays of flaps about 1/8inch wide that stick up in the air about 1/4 inch. Her entire upper body is covered with these arrays of skin flaps. I notice a wrinkly nipple. The whole thing is a very odd and fairly repulsive sight.

Our team push starts a train. push hard, run to catch it, jump on. The woman train inspector may catch us. We've been riding around like this for a long time (is the track circular, how can we do that?) Uh oh here comes a end-of-track barrier, we're going fast, brace for impact, we plow through the barrier with no problems, and land in a cushion zone made for cases like this, with large slats of wood and piles of sand. There is a house for sale beyond this area?

Something odd like a guy opening his mouth around the for-sale sign (?) and indicating that the other guys should stick in their (ahem)s? It's a joke.

+ traveling through town, looking for ice cream/yogurt, some places catch my attention, I go into one. At the counter/register there is a light on the left that indicates you can place an ice cream order, and on the right that you can place a yogurt order. The ice cream light goes off and I try to communicate with the servers but they speak a different language. I go walking around the large store. I see people sitting in booths. Up ahead there are some large, fat, nudist women (lesbians?) sitting in a hallway booth. I walk by them trying to avoid looking at them. Around a corner there is a large room off to the side, with a male rock band and some female groupies.

+ (f) I follow into my jr hs best friend DD's house, his father is there, we're there with friends, we start discussing world history. Something about my dad? Sewer pipe exits? Every fifth pipe has elevated salt levels? I feel my skin peeling off of my foot from the high salt levels?

+ (f) I realize that I've lost my toilet seat shaped pillow for the night, they have reclaimed them. I need to pay for another one before they're all gone. I get one(?) and return inside to the equipment rack?

+ (f) exchange of candy. I wanted M&Ms I leave the area and check the (gas pumps?) the attendants/adult, guards are there but they don't bother me, I have a bag of candy, I turn around and re-enter the area

+ LD#167 ToTM advanced II (change gravity for a DC)
I look up into the sky and I see some puffy things like giant cotton swab puffs, and to the right a giant advertisement for a chocolate bar with many little bits of chocolate strewn around, I think "this is a dream-like sky, because only in dreams do you get particles like that in the sky". I do a nose pinch and am confused that I can breathe. That gets my attention, I try again and I can breathe. What? Oh! I run forwards and take a leap off of the road over a big drop with a small thought of "is this a bad idea?" but I fly and I'm firmly lucid now. I'm near a major university and think "I'm going to go mess with the students!" The thought of ToTM Advanced II (change gravity for a DC) enters my head. Down on the sidewalk below I see people, I choose a group of 3 walking together, 2 guys and a girl. I point my finger at the girl (who's standing on the right end of the 3 walking together), and will gravity to reverse for her so she falls into the sky. And indeed, she flies up high into the sky, 60 feet or so, when I un-reverse gravity for her and fly to catch her in my arms. Her head is to my left, feet the right. Her face is turned away from me. I turn her towards me, hoping/expecting to see a young/pretty college girl. She seems to be and I immediately kiss her. She's confused and I explain (punctuated by a few more short kisses) that I made a tiny modification of the space/time continuum around her, but that for her it probably felt like a large change. I ask her where she wants to go: New York? Europe? To the <rock band name forgotten> concert in Austrailia [false]? "Oh, the concert!" she answers. Darn, I think, I didn't really want to go to the concert. At this point there's a strange transition and we're outside a secret restaurant in Iran, and I'm now a small, dark-skinned, dark-haired local boy speaking through another local boy through a guy who works in the restaurant, explaining to the girl that I don't speak (Iranian?). The implication is that we're stuck in this situation (she accessed my dream power somehow to make this change?)... and then I wake up.

big night last night, long sleep, tons of dreams

+ I'm standing near a tall, wide, jutting granite cliff extending up from me, I stand back and take several landscape shots of the cliff with my phone's camera while thinking about it

+ sexy time with genital-free "girl", she turns into my wife, we go to play tennis

+ following my mom up stairs to a doctor's office where they're drinking and having snacks, I meet another my mom coming down the stairs.

+ I need to test a gun out to see if it will fire, I try to hide it by leaning it up against the curb, then I put my backpack in front of it

+ I'm working in a newsroom, I'm the junior "filler" journalist, the editors lay out a page and tell me how many inches my article must fill

+ in my ex-GF's apartment, her two male friends then arrive, she tells me "you can leave if you want to," one of the guys is talking about his marketing plan

+ in a strange stairwell, I encounter a young girl, then her brother and mother, they're talking in a language I do not understand, then I find the apartment I was looking for

+ a prisoner is sentenced but tries to escape, he jumps in the river and tries to swim to freedom, but he's swarmed with guards and captured.

family drama at bedtime (why always at bedtime?!?!! ) leading to broken night, not trying for anything, mostly didn't sleep, yet some recall in the morning:

+ (f) flying up to a fence, people on the other side floating? over fence and down to ground, something about bees?

+ (f) lying with wife on wobbly bed in the narrow kitchen of former adult home, I'm wondering about the balance, the bed is jammed in between the two rows of cabinets.

+ goodbye party. I'm sitting in some upper level by myself, a young man comes to lead me back to the group, I think this is my goodbye celebration. There is a table in the distance, turns out only like 4 people are there, so they won't miss me much, huh? On the way there I pick up my gift, a sponge on some sort of golden platter? Arriving at the table there are other gifts. I'm wondering how I should greet the people there. There are two women (older) there, and two young men. I get a hug from the woman on the right? and the woman on the left gets down on to her knees and bows to me and is crying. I'm not sure if I should shake the hand of the guys, I shake one of their hands.

+ (f) in the (shower?) I have a really big fat stomach, I think the people on the other side of the glass walls [DS] will see me. I'm looking down at my fat stomach, the fat is somewhat reduced but the skin is really nasty and loose.

+ (f) I'm making a comment to people, and I see a graph with writing and numbers on the wall. I'm trying to make a quick joke about it but people keep coming and asking serious questions, so I'm explaining the graph, pointing out the axes, some numbers have period "." decimal points and some have comma "," decimal points.

+ (f) I'm studying/doing work, (on couch in CH LR), when my mom calls.

+ (f) I'm on the phone with my dad, and I'm saying that I can bring the keys by because I'm still in town

+ My dad is away and has rented his home out to chicken farmers. Chickens all over the place, chicken poop, when they're gone won't the smell remain? I guess they cover the place in plastic.

Walking past a house I think I catch a glimpse of a mouse. I go back to check and another house is renting out to rat farmers. There are rats all over the place. How do they gather the rats up when it's time to go? They place firecrackers up the butts of the rats and if they do not come when called the firecrackers are set off.

+ (f) returning from a trip, I'm trying to decide whether to take the high/long or the low/short (route) home.
