FryingMan

Nothing at 6 hrs waking, then after a brief WBTB a bunch of nicely detailed dreams including a semi-lucid semi-epic .

+ playing football (jerseys are inside out), miss an interception, guy kicks the point after, I go to judge, stuck in field-goal closet, break out an opening, see that "Mindy" (male) the hobo made up a neat room "carpeted" with rough sandpaper and will be parking his motorcycles there

+ fight in long curved hallway with "cricket" (MIB) gun, shoot, miss, aim carefully, hit, no real effect, the gun has three small switches that must be cocked before each shot, it shoots a rainbow colored beam

+ (semi-lucid) in a building pursuing a bad guy, fly/phase through wall to street, persuing car, dream image is half-sized, I'm trying to fully enter the scene and make it "full-screen", in house, dominate evil DC, encounter girl, sexy time, get on couch with other DCs, graze the leg of another girl DC who's surprised, move to another couch and make out (briefly so as not to lose the dream) caress several more girls, visuals fade out but I maintain tactile contact and visuals return, another girl moves to straddle me I expect sex but she opens her mouth (lots of large, sharp teeth!) and lowers her head to bite my chest and I wake up

+ standing at a large, round kitchen table, Indian mothers with kids are eating toast, there's a toaster at each place on the table, I want toast too but I can't find bread, there are cookies, I find them under a shelf away from table, my wife is talking religion with the father who's skeptical down at the far end of the table; I move to the adjacent living room to play a game with NM (grad) and his wife A and their friends/family, it's a role-playing game, N's wife A gets really cozy with me we're sitting with our arms around each other I feel self-conscious about this and take my arms off of her but she keeps holding me close, I make "I don't know what to do?" "shrug" expressions with my eyes to show I'm not trying to come on to her, A is really cute and I think about asking her out and wonder what she'll say

~Dreamer~ would be proud, the "main event" of last night was a 15+ minute vivid dream about cleaning toilets and scrubbing the filthy tile walls of a public bathroom

Recall of dreams #2 and #5 only came in after about 45 minutes of recall and dream review.

+ in a house, party, big house, it's my house, large well-decorated rooms, I'm walking around and get mixed up where I'm going, I think people will be impressed with my house; best friend MR arrives knocking a long time on the door

+ with people choosing a location: we're now in the American south west, like Arizona: wide open vistas, a long line of distant rocky bluffs fill the horizon (visually really stunning), I say I really like it but it's too dry/desolate, then I fly up in the air to get a better perspective and the plot changes to some chasing theme.

+ at a gas station [DS], chewing out my team they're not cooperating, all of a sudden my former boss arrives I instantly recognize her (looks completely accurate), I'm quite surprised, I say "no no I'm not talking about you", then we hang out eating a picnic off the roof of my car (large chunks of thick steak), I'm concerned people will get upset with us for hogging the position by the pumps

+ (vivid, long) we (wife and I?) locked ourselves inside a public bathroom (at the gas station?), I'm scrubbing the toilet, the filthy tile walls with scotch pad, I see each tile as I clean it, some of them have pictures of famous people's faces, I'm trying to choose a scrubbing pattern to get the entire wall clean, we'll have to rinse off the soap foam, the toilet has been repaired with deep red caulking that makes it look like it's covered in blood I think this is really strange, there's a toilet mounted vertically on the wall (so that the bowl points down towards the floor!) that I open up and a huge cloud of ass-gas fills my nostrils it smells like someone who had been eating nothing but chorizo burritos for a week took a massive dump there, the vertical toilet is covered in dark red heavy oil, the floor toilet is clogged by a massive turd I keep trying to flush it down, trying to find something to force it down, it eventually goes and I flush once more wondering if it will go down or overflow; they're knocking on the door, we'll have to let them in?, they point to the structure across the street (through the walls?), the floor toilet bowl is now is filled with a little model version of a classical (Roman?) building with marble columns, I point out how I've cleaned the walls and how you can see the pattern of bright/dark tiles where I've cleaned.

+ talking with a guy who's wearing a company badge with his manager's name (ShCl), the same one I worked for at a former company, I see ShCl sitting at the end of the table, I keep asking him when he worked there (dates) but he doesn't answer, it turns out we worked on the same project for the same manager, and potentially even at the same time, I sort of see/remember his name.

+(f) going into a shack to find my (small, lightweight) handgun and load it up

+(f) in a large building with dark corridors, flying around outside, team-based conflict

+(f) I see my current-day cat climbing up the driveway of my childhood home, I'm standing just past it on the street

+ (LD #123) I'm on an upper level in a large indoor structure like a mall, and climb up to the railing to jump down, get lucid, and say "woohoo #123!", walking through large crowd of people, look for a female, brief sexy time

+ I'm sitting at a table with friends, my "girlfriend?" is there and I encourage her to come sit with us at the table

+ Observing a variety of sex toys in a store, comparing what is available in one country to what is available in another (on different shelves)

+ My older son S1 is in bed I think he's fake sleeping, I creep closer and peer over an obstruction and see his (creepy) open eyes staring back at me, he's playing a sort of on-line game with younger son S2, S2 is using S1's name for the game, and S1 is trying to "hide" his pieces from view so S2 doesn't cheat.

Finally, a proper FM night again, could have dreamed more but noise at home stopped it

Mental journaling all night long. Spent a long time (30-60 minutes?) in morning reviewing earlier dreams before final BTS and last two dreams.

+(f) FA: woke in shock to my wife scratching lightly the back of my shoulder with the back of her fingernail and sort of giggling, very out of character for her must have been a FA

+ summary: black girl, 3 men in neighborhood (titan-like?)
I'm outdoors (climbing over roofs), thinking about girls with afros, wonder what it would be like to be with one. I see 3 fairly tall scary looking guys approaching, they're walking in a straight line, they have tall hairdos, (one?) is faintly smiling, I sense they are menacing, they're walking through people's gardens, this is in my childhood neighborhood. I think about following them, but I don't want to be seen, one of them does see me.

+ summary: airport, bag, pilots work 30 hours in a row, bathroom with drinks in cooler (search for and find root-beer, see a more classic can but it's red cream soda and I want root beer)
I'm in an airport on a trip, I'm thinking about how the pilots who fly the 15-hour flight have to turn around and fly right back, that means they must work 30 hours in a row, but they probably get to use the auto-pilot and catch a nap. I have my bag, then there's an airport employee walking around returning people's bags to them, but my bag is there, and I realize I must have left it somewhere, I go into the (bathroom?) looking for it.
In the bathroom there is a large cooler full of cans of sodas. I'm digging through this and find some A&W root beer, I take the can out and intend to take it with me. I keep looking then I see a really large can with of some high-end, natural soda and think it's a better root beer, but I look at the can more and see that it's a red cream soda, and I put it back since I want root beer. I open the root beer and drink it while walking around.

+ reunion with high school friends: (DD?), N., CB, BD, CB's brother AB, shake everyone's hand, really glad to see BD since I haven't seen him since the end of high school, realize that this is true of N. as well but I didn't tell him this maybe he feels bad about that. This takes place in a restaurant (or a wine bar? DD has a glass of wine?)

+ Playing checkersy-chess with MR. The pieces look like checkers but I think they're pawns. The colors are red and black. I'm looking at the several pawn captures that are available and evaluating which ones will lead to a better position for me. I make one and MR responds by making this move by flicking a large checker (red?) with the number "30" written in the middle down to one of my pieces. I say "Hey, don't move like that I can't see what the pieces were before and after". Nearby on a trail, the (orange?) (animal? deer?) on the path reaches the end, you can touch it to cause things (the dream?) to end

+(f) outdoors with cousins: GL is a photographer, taking slide shots of athletes, I wonder about color correction and she says that it's all done in photoshop anyway

+ vacuum: outside the (concert?) hall, white stone sculpted benches, powerful vertical vacuum with multiple hose ports on the side, I detach the main body from the base and takes several tries to reattach it, go to next room and work on cleaning assigned area, the attachment is not right for the floor (it's a couch attachment), it's too small, lots of cards and flyers get sucked into vacuum and I try to pick them out, I work on a spot on the carpet for a few seconds.

+ cousins: I say my son S1 is studying the same profession as PR, PR is there and I think about asking how is his job at S? I walk towards the entrance to the room and I suddenly see KD appear in in slinky black leather outfit, she's wearing a lot of make-up, she looks really hot, I'm a bit shocked when I see her suddenly. I turn back into the room and say I'm looking for some pie to give to KD, but I don't think there's any pie left, and I make a joke saying "I think there's only one type of pie in this room!" (referring to female *ahem*), and only KD gets the joke and chuckles. I find a plate of cheesecake with a few slices left on it, it's white with some cherry-red topping, and I give it to KD along with some small plates of (blueberries?). I notice that KD has changed her outfit to a normal one and removed her makeup all in a matter of seconds while I was getting the pie. KD's daughter comes to her sleepy from bed, I think I should go so they can interact, KD tells her daughter not to eat all her food.

+ with a group of people (on street outside childhood home?) I'm lying down across the front seat(s) of a car, head on the driver's side. An (Asian) indian woman comes in and climbs on top of me to lie down, my waist bag is in the way, and I reach up with my left hand and pull it to the side, then she fits perfectly lying right on top of me with her head on my chest. She starts purring, her whole body is warm and vibrating, it's quite cozy, I put my arms around her in a friendly way. Her man comes up and says "Heeeeyyy! What's going on!?" I lift up my arms into the air [DANGIT! Saw my hands! I've been trying to make that a PM trigger] to show I'm not groping her -- it's a comforting scenario, not an erotic one. But the man hangs around to watch and make sure. I don't want her to get off because the purring thing feel really amazing.

late morning drifting BTS:

+ guests coming for dinner, the table is prepared, sliced grapefruit, they arrive, can only stay a minute, I go to the door and say come and eat, the guests can't stay long they say "5 minutes max", I hear in the dining room that a guest sees a picture of a famous person and talks about how he's his favorite, back in the dining room is my language class, we're preparing a special ethnic birthday party for IM, IM comes in and we quickly close the box of special chocolates so that it won't spoil the surprise.

+ climbing up a hill made of blankets and sheets, I seek foot holds, a girl is with me, I tell her to be careful, there are slippery parts, we're on the very right edge of the hill. Another family (man an woman) is to our left climbing up a more difficult part, we reach the top and look down to the floor below, about 10-12 feet below us, I say "this is the area with a (gravity anomaly?) that we don't understand," I know this is an area of power, my wife is in the next room waiting to consult the couple on some mystical matter, they ask my wife to divine the problem with the man's tooth and I think that's a bad idea because my wife knows nothing about dentistry, [waking world noise wakes me]

+ (LD #111) guy with a retractable head (sinks down into his body): I notice this and get lucid, say hey I know you can do that thing with your head, we jump into the air in the stairwell we're descending and have a bit of a fight, I throw him down the stairwell.

(Definitely lucid, and fairly early in the night I think, got lucid from the weirdness of the retracting head, but awareness fairly low and didn't last long).

+ A bunch of us get off of the bus, we're all wearing our pajamas and we're approaching a stripmall, I mention the pajamas thing. We look into a deli but it's way too crowded, so we keep walking. We come to a place where workmen are, there is no food available. We head back to the deli and now the crowd is much smaller we can enter. There are all sorts of sandwich meats laid out.

At band practice the director is quite demanding, we rehearse for a while then will break until later, I see a sign that practice continues at 1:00pm, that doesn't leave much time for lunch.

Bowling: I observe a woman bowling, give advice, and I bowl myself. A woman bowls and I say "woo hoo, see, a strike!" but she says no, one pin (the 5?) is still standing, I look and see it wobbling, I think it will fall but it doesn't, another pin eventually slowly comes rolling by and knocks it down, "See!" I say," a strike! I'm bowling and get a nasty 4-7-10 split. I think the only hope is to aim for the left side and hope I can get the 4 or 7 to scoot across to hit the 10. I have to stand to the right in order to bowl properly for the 4-7. Then a little girl is there and some pins are on the alley right past the foul line. She's picking them up, "Careful!" I say, "don't set off the foul detector," I'm really nervous and concerned that she'll set it off and I won't get a chance to finish the frame myself. Of course she eventually sets off the foul detector and I get really mad and fume and complain about this for a while. I can't find my ball, I pick up what I think is my ball but the fingers don't fit right. Leaving the alley, we're late to get back to the band practice, I'm shouting for my friends to make sure they take my bowling ball, "where's my bowling ball?!".

(This multi-scene dream went on for quite a while and was fairly vivid & detailed)

Bedtime supps experiment went bad (again), poor rest, most dreams vague except last

+ beer party: I'm inside, outside on a patio in half-light are a bunch of people milling around. I want them to have some beer. I give a guy standing outside a baggie of beer (I hold it in my 2 hands, look down and see the liquid in the baggie, and hand it to the guy). I think he'll share the beer by pouring into people's cups, but instead he dips his fingers in to the beer, and flicks his fingers in people's faces spraying their faces with beer, he does this several times. A friend inside brings me to the good beer, he says it's name "<something>(green?) <something>(four?)", he pours me a glass and I start to drink, I go to top it off, and flick the opening switch on the keg (which is clear you can see the beer inside), and the keg explodes, covering me and the area around in foam. I'm startled by this.

+ brilliant kid code: people sitting around a table working on (encoding? decoding?) a message, led by a brilliant little kid, at first I think I understand everything, then the more I look at the messages the less I realize I understand what's going on, I realize that the words are phonetically spelled out words in Chinese and give up in disgust.

+(f) whose sports equipment (running shoes, racquetball equipment) are these, mine(?) I see running shoes made out of strands: the shoes are not solid. The shoes have flexible heels, the shoe material lifts up from the heels when you walk. A guy is talking about how he tested out and tuned the strings of a racquetball racquet.

+ walking around outside at night, observing asphalt covered streets with hinged rectangular pieces of asphalt covering up humming water pumps working below the surface. I go inside, someone's following behind me, I close the door before he gets there, I'm in an all-male computer club/house, the guy behind the door gives his name (or another club member tells it to me [forgot name]). I'm walking around looking at the club's bedrooms: I see a horizontal bar on a wall from which a bookshelf/shoe shelf is hung, I enter and set up my room, unroll bedding, there's a larger bedroll by me and a smaller one (white/black/zebra striped?) in the far corner, there is a closet in the room, and I have things also hanging from horizontal bars high on the wall. I'm a big self-conscious that I have a room to myself, other rooms have 3+ beds in them. They come in and say "hey why do you have a large room to yourself?" I say that I'm new, that probably someone else will be assigned to this room too, later.

17:00 very tired, head in for "quick nap" but don't set alarm
21:00 final wake up, oops! Must have been underslept

2015-05-05

Only mental journaling all night. Almost forgot one dream at final waking, late dream details vague, LD quite clear & vivid. I'm pretty happy with my developing ability to accumulate and remember dreams across multiple sleep cycles.

01:00 (?) bedtime. Not very tired, take 200mg valerian tab, 1mg melatonin tab
02:00 fall asleep?

07:00 (?)

+ I'm with my wife in a very dark outdoors open area. It's so dark that at times I completely lose the sense of all vision entirely and I vaguely think this is dreamlike but don't get lucid. We approach a school building which we're supposed to go through, our usual route, but I say no, it's too dark and scary, so we go by it. We're now at a street which goes down, so we hop on a bicycle and start coasting down. We're then in daylight and cars are coming the other way on the road we need to avoid them. Then I realize my wife is in front of me on the bicycle and she is naked, I have my arms around her and am holding a breast in each hand, covering her up, I think about her nakedness a bit and that this could distract oncoming cars.

+ I'm in a room, talking with somebody, I see that on the walls (projected?) are animated screens displaying a computer graphics program, it looks like a view of a floor from the game "DOOM" or "quake." I look at these screens and inspect the colors. I'm then starting to play the game: first I select the difficulty (choice is from 1-3, I chose 3: max difficulty), which I know will mean less armor and ammunition available, and then there is a choice (1-3) of starting location which I think is a bit strange, I don't remember this from the game.

I start playing and "know" immediately that I must pick up a backpack of ammo/weapons and see one, I'm spinning around a bit out of control. I encounter monsters and select the shotgun weapon and shoot several. I hear monster sounds and see in front of me a DOOM-lizard thing (that breaths fireballs) and I shoot it. I'm a bit out of control and say something about that. At some point I encounter some wise giant slug thing with an imp handler, kill them both, don't remember them as part of the game later, think killing may have been a mistake, that part seemed more "lifelike" than part of the video game.

+ (lucid LD #110) I'm having sex with ex-GF SB on the ground in a room, I'm on top of her, feel it a bit, she says "but this means we're not NOT dating", I reply s.l. "who cares about not NOT dating," I see to the left and beyond us 3 guys enter the room, I quickly reach up behind me with my left arm and "pull over" a sheet covering us. I watch through the sheet their feet and I hope they will just move past us but they've seen us so they stop to watch. SB and I are not moving and are quiet. The man says "come on, keep going". I reply s.l. "hit the road, get out", this makes man gets angry, he thinks I want to steal another guy's skateboard, they push the skateboard to me in an offering, I think they've misunderstood, and push it back to them slowly along with other stuff and make a motion for them to leave the area. They don't leave so I stand up and take SB with me out of the room.

We're on a ledge of a house outdoors at night, it's fairly dark, I without hesitation tell SB to "jump on!" and take off flying, I'm now lucid. I'm swooping and enjoying the scenery of flying over suburban houses among hills. I right away talk to SB who I still feel holding on to my back, things like "Hey, do you know this is a dream? This is a dream! How do you like it?" But I get no answer from her. I get impatient & annoyed because I really want to hold a conversation with her DC. I say "HELLO! S! Do know this is a dream!?" And I anticipate her answer and recall her real voice and think what it would sound like. SB-DC answers a weak sounding "yes" once or twice. I'm disappointed in her voice, it's totally not accurate, in fact it sounds like a guy faking a girl's voice using falsetto. I reach up behind me and pull her face in front of mine for a quick kiss, this destabilizes the dream a bit and makes my flight wobbly, I think I should avoid that and just concentrate on flying to keep the dream but it soon transitions.

Spoiler for caveman, 18+, NSFW, explicit:

(semi-lucid now) I'm in a store (night outside?) well lit inside. I'm in caveman mode immediately. It seems to be a bookstore with many books on shelves. Towards the back I see the walls are higher and there are works of art there. I see there are three female beings (I think they're actually part of the store? Like living statues?) Of the three of them the one in the middle has a plunging neckline top showing off ample boobs and I goose her a bit. I head back to the front of the store and there are more girls coming in, I'm quite pleased that the dream is presenting females and I don't have to go searching. I walk right up to one and rip her top with both hands exposing her breasts, and feel them briefly but she seems bit artificial, and her boobs are hard/solid like a mannequin. My attention moves to petite slim girl walking by me, I put her up on a counter and start to undress her, thinking this is a waste of time, she seems gone and all that is left is a doll-sized dress in my hands but I decide to "hit that" a little. At some point I've got another girl up on the counter with "spread legs" (visuals vague, don't really see much), and I'm trying to enter her, but her v-jay is somehow a detachable tube that I keep trying to put "back in" her. I give up trying to put it back in her and just enter it, the tube is sort of purple and semi-transparent and see my (ahem) entering inside.

Someone says we need to do something in the back part of the store. Lucidity pretty much gone at this point. Go back towards the back of the store and now there's a whole new section beyond where the back wall used to be. I see two guys with their faces pressed up against a book shelve, I think they're trying to hide while they kiss each other.

Moving back to the front of the store a young man starts talking about economics, about how to determine when to buy and when to sell, I think we've just made a huge purchase (a new house?) and that this guy is implying we made a big mistake. My wife is sitting by him and misunderstanding what he's saying and she's confused and is asking me a question about only somewhat-related things.

awake a while reviewing dreams, BTS

10:00

+ party, multi-group, large area, (water balloon fights?), entrance area (toll booth?), others say no, we don't clean up

+(f) arrive to building, up stairs, suitcase, open door, person there upset to see us, go down stairs, should I go back up?

+(f) with groups of big guys outside

+(f) guys getting into car in garage, I push shut driver's door with foot, old guy getting in right side passenger

+(f) in library w/wife and group, yes, go downstairs, there is slide reading area, trying to choose a table with enough chairs, there is another group already using a table, but several are free.

Tired, late to bed, recall mostly fragmented despite a fair bit of dreaming

+ going down the hill on LL blvd.: the road is a metallic jungle gym "tunnel" filled with sentient green shaped-hedges covered with red berries, they're very friendly, they like me, and help me along

+(f) thinking about my college rented house, looking for it among skyscrapers we're driving by, see it eventually as a carved out area between tall buildings, it is dilapidated with large overgrown plants all over it

+(f) in an arcade, looking for change in the coin slots, starting a game?

+ childhood home, there's a ragged rat/rabbit/guinea pig thing that I'm trying to shoo out the front door: I eventually get it out and keep looking at it trying to figure out what kind of animal it is, I decide it's a rabbit and see its nose twitching, it comes back in and sits at my feet it is really dirty.

+ (lucid LD #109) in childhood home, waiting for my wife and kids to leave so that I can lucid dream: I realize I don't need to wait, I go out the sliding glass door to the deck (because I think I'll be able to fly), see a standing figure in my "peripheral vision," turn to look it's gone, I fly out over the trees which have been cut, wife is on deck, a bit concerned about her seeing me, I don't care, she's talking to me while I'm flying about how I've been sleeping, lose visuals but keep stretching my hands out in front of me, eventually transition to non-lucid where I'm holding something in my hands and I'm talking with wife about the special lightbulbs we'll need to buy for JW.

LD was fairly unstable, had that "dizzy" feeling through most of it, especially at the beginning on the deck where I saw the figure out of the corner of my eye briefly. Awareness quite low.

2015-05-02
00:30 (about) bedtime

mental journaling only during night
1 Opti-Men multi-vitamin at bedtime
remee on (didn't notice anything even during wakings)

+ a guy is pouring bourbon/scotch, I see the amber liquid filling several tumbler glasses. he's saying this is the good old stuff, from the early 1900's, before they started using machines to make the alcohol. The scoutmaster DG is there, I think about his kids: GG and JG, I think about saying how I remember that GG was a prof at XXXX university but that was the last I knew of him. I think how I remember JG was a young kid but he's only a few years younger than me, so he's now in his late 40's. On the ground in this house are some highly decorated water ramps between levels, water can flow from one level to another this way.

+ house: inaccessible higher level standing on a stairway the upper levels are disconnected the stairs to not go all the way there. Go to a room, there's a young girl with a record player that is playing really loudly, her mother comes by. There are a bunch of kids and they're all involved in playing out some story

+ football: incomplete pass: the receiving jumps way up, reaches for the ball over his head, he catches it at first and the momentum of the pass bend his arms behind his head with the ball, but he drops it. The next play, this is our last chance, I tell the other players, "no matter what, don't stop for anything! Don't stop for anything", we start the play and I run and jump over a low chain-link fence, into a house, my teammate is there with the ball, we've scored a touchdown! I ask him, what happens if they built a house in the end zone, if you run in to that house and into the laundry room, does it count as a touch down? He says yes it counts.

+ Sitting on a public table outdoors in an area a little bit below the level of the sidewalks which go by on each side. The table is covered with papers and books like dictionaries. I'm working my finances? One paper has large numerals written on it (1900?) that represents my salary. Dad's cousin GL walks by on the left sidewalk, sees me, says hi, her older relative is astonished at my salary, GL tells her "they make more money now than they did in the olden days." GL's daughter, my cousin KR walks by on the right, sees me, and gives me an approving look.

+ I'm rifling through the (white pages) of a huge thick old-style phone book. I think I come across a list of the parks in SF. I say "You know why I like SF? Because it has so many parks." I think about my favorite park [false memory], I say "The 'Heights' park is my favorite in SF", and a girl there says "Yeah it's my favorite, too!" I imagine that park, with wide open play areas.

+ I'm in a house, there's a hot rod outside on the street whose entire top part bounces up and separates from the bottom chassis. Inside, the clothes washer keeps breaking down from one component that continually needs to be taken out and reset (woman tenant does this), I think I should buy a new one, I should get Maytag since they work well and don't have such problems, then I look at the washer and notice that it is a Maytag. The man tenant offers to pay part of the cost but I think he shouldn't, I'll take care of it.

+(f) very strong (illegal) alcohol, gets stronger every year

+(f) workaholic guy goes to work, should stay home & be with family, NSFW top view of him going to town orally on his wife (displayed live on a big billboard)

+ we're doing something illegal, I'm not part of the gang, I'm just there, should I put away my instrument or use it as a distraction if the authorities arrive? A creepy weird old guy wearing many layers of coats emerges from a closet, I think I've seen this guy before (from a previous dream?) "whom I remember from before" [false memory] came out of a closet, a "drugged" guy is lying on the ground his face is colored like "two-face" split down the middle, white on the left, red on the right. I'm watching his face and trying to figure out what's going on with him.

Awesome night full of flight! Almost every dream a flying dream….wow! Finally, a dreaming night worthy of my name!

+ flying/gliding, arms extended out "glider style", cupping the air in my hands, building up speed flying down then "pulling up" hard into almost-loops; fantastic amazing ski-jumping: hundreds of feet high and long, with friends including the cool beautiful girl, high-fiving each other in the middle of the jumps in mid-air, I'm doing awesome ski crosses and re-crosses; riding the tram back up from the base

+ with parents at childhood home: I show them I can fly: I do this by having them stand next to me, closing their eyes, then I levitate up into the air and say something, they will notice the sound coming from a higher altitude than if I were just standing, I feel like flying before bed-time, I want to fly up to my open bedroom window from the deck below but don't want others to see, I'll just fly right in later; amazing open vistas with flight (vague)

+ trapped on the bus, evil bus driver: my (false memory: Asian) family (mother, father, sibling?) is there. I want to get out. I open a window (old style school bus: two clamps one on each side at top of window), but it's too close to the bus driver and he closes it. I then open a window farther from him and I escape out the window. I jump into air to fly but stall right away just off the ground: I can't move [I'll get caught!], end up on roof of house nearby and the neighborhood kids come and hang out up there with me

+ hanging out with rich family in large room, the mother comes and carves the head off of the huge roasted pig against the wall, that's all she wants. I'm standing right next to it and I see it's roasted carcass, all the insides/guts have been removed. I see it's a female pig since it has "breasts", I closely observe the rest of the pig carcass: feet, chest, buttonhole ["you could carve that off and eat it if you wanted to! Ew!"], privates [yup, it's a female], a butler comes in and says "OK about time to start cleaning up this room"

+(f) flying fragment (perhaps start of next dream): in a vehicle, driving by deep gulley, urge to jump out and fly [DS!], I'm "stuck" on the landscape but I jerk myself free and blissfully glide over the landscape

+ flying again [woohoo!] at L.H. again swooping down gaining speed, and pull up high into near-loops, there are people on the ground, a bit tentative to go over to them where they'd see me, some see me anyway, I show off a bit; I'm on the ground with my [False] "Asian family," [I've been watching too many heart-wrenching Thai public service videos] the father is saying that in the morning, it's good to go out for a swim (but I want to fly?)

+ flying above the L.H., I land on its rooftop, hear announcement for a "Python" seminar(?), see girls inside L.H. though a window, and want to go to them, get semi-lucid, I jump down to the ground outside the entrance, and and think briefly about my legs because it's a long way down but they're fine, I feel the landing, I make myself invisible by making a two-handed gesture where I put my hands together in front of my face, and pull my hands apart in a straight line away from each other quickly. I then enter the building, and a guard closes a gate in front of me but I phase right through the gate. I'm now on the hunt for girls, I see people sitting around at exhibits. I keep my body incorporeal and invisible, but manifest my hands, and much fun sexy-contact ensures including full-on brief sexy time; transition to best friend talking about the "two-way channel" which I think refers to the v-jay.

poor early recall, just two snippets, fairly great very late with a lucid and TOTM fail

+ driving in traffic, avoiding following the crowd, long short-cut but empty roads, gas station at end of road, technician there gets extremely pissed at me for standing on his work, another guy gives me super strong solvent that eats through the bottle and gets on my face and hands and burns me

+ sweeping straw of the floor, use a vacuum(!) "Hey who thought to use a vacuum bag!?", enter room, people at a table stop talking, I vacuum stuff on the table, think I've vacuumed up a gem, empty the vacuum and a small pile of shiny lovely colorful cut gems pours out and I try to figure out which one belongs to whom

+ standing on roof closely studying shingles/structure: rainwater channels, shingles are dirty & should clean then, concerned about that giant tree limb overhead, could smash our house, is that our tree? yes

+ playing in orchestra: conductor indicates "free play solo", I read a low-A and a middle-C whole note on the sheet, a wind instrument also plays

+ In childhood home with DaBe (univ. gf.), she's thinking of transferring, I'm sad, another guy comes and sits, I make a fart joke and sound about him, DB kisses me on cheek, sits down, calls me to her, I sit & get close and touch her, see the guy standing in the room making obscene movements.

+ preparations for the mayor's investment ceremony in large outdoor/indoor area, stick around for the free food, sleep/nap/meditation time but the women won't stop talking, woman comes out of toilet pulling up her pants & people laugh, boy jumps on parents, son S2 tells me of the 3 twin guys who got a girl pregnant but turned out gay.

+ in a bathroom/outhouse at the end of a long wooden deck on a hill, closely inspecting the magnetic lock at the top of the door that needs to be re-attached, maybe nails will work

+ (LD #108) in apartment with wife, urge to fly, test it, yes can fly!, fly out, review TOTM goals, swimming pool manifests up ahead, land there, "stick to the plan!", distracted by girls, then distracted by fight (which I start), bus zips in & wife gives message and bus zips back out again

Melatonin night, late to bed, so dreaming a bit scattered, but lots of scenes, and a short lucid finally

+ in car sister's driving down "her driveway" into her home, it takes a really right-angle right turn, she has to perform a 3-point turn to continue, there's under an inch of clearance on both sides of the car

+(f) avoiding some chasing baddie, maneuvering on the other side of a concrete hole in a wall to stay out of his line of sight/fire

+(f) ocean?

+(f) sexy time: finger into (ahem), feels a bit crusty on the outside.

+ trying to ski/slide down a hill from the top people always get in my way

+ TZ has fallen down, I pick her up to comfort her, holding her in my arms I walk around the garden getting her to show me the places she likes

+ (lucid #107) passenger in car on freeway, driver misses our turnoff, then misses a last-chance exit again, another passenger upset, I say it's OK we'll just have to go a ways before we can double back, stop atop the path with a view of the full complicated interchange, "It's quite the pretzel!" I say, other drivers stop behind us, I'm observing the roads and paths in great detail, sitting in car with other passengers I get the feeling "this is a dream-like scenario", nose pinch, bit vague, do it again, decide I'm dreaming, get out of car, think what to do?, hop into the air and transition & lose lucidity

+ (commercial?) girl arrives home, man dresses in her clothing as a joke, photograph moment, some advertising jingle about "moments in life to remember"?

+(f) the guy was tricked by the bad girl, he had to get a new (French) passport, but even on the passport it shows him as the "ringleader" of the girl's gang

couple small shots of liqueur in the evening

00:30 - 01:00 bedtime

04:30
+ I'm adjusting a small device like a car radio, there's a car A/C circular vent on the left hand side, it's a portable office A/C, I'm talking with my cube-mate about it

I'm a (traffic cop?) working in foggy city there are solid grey clouds/fog over head, I'm standing in the middle of a fairly busy intersection, and two people I know zip by me at high speed in sports cars, one on the left, one on the right

+ we've discovered the truth about McDonald's: the food containers are *empty*! With friends I open up a pack of McD's food and see that the food containers are all empty, no food in them at all. I think we'll be rich. Suddenly, 2 girls with long knives attack (entering through the window), our counter attack subdues them into a corner, pounding them with chairs or other large things to avoid their knives, I notice that they are (cyborgs?) their bodies/legs are supported by metal tubes, ask one out for a date, she seems OK, I help her up by her arms (exposed boobs?)

+ I'm standing, getting my robes sewed up/taken off by my female servants, one comes up behind me and wraps her leg around the front of me and moves close, I reach around behind me, grab her butt, fondle it and pull her closer into me (feels good!), then realize I know her (ND), stop doing this, then wonder if I should give her a tip, feel embarrassed.

10:00

+ I'm standing in some very large caverns that extend before me, turns a corner where I'm standing and extends off to my left. In front of me the cave walls are all a dark blood red semi-precious stone, and there are Buddha statues and "reflections" of statues. I think I remember seeing the rock walls in liquid form splashing over the statue then freezing in their current state. I look to the room to the left and it's full of large statues.

I'm in a small reading room like a library, and I"m speaking with some entity that is a statue or a book with a face, I'm talking about books about buddhism and how I'd like to see some books which are approachable for beginners, then I watch as the entity summons the books to the bookshelf in front of me and I see the books on the shelve change to the new ones.

My wife comes in and I tell her she can request her desired books from the entity.

Someone tries to exit the room (stealing a book) and an alarm sounds and roll-down security doors close off the exit. A voice booms out "You will never be allowed to use the reading room again!"

+ I'm with a doctor, I'm looking at my arm, (the doctor says she didn't do something complete correctly?) and I look at a mole on my arm and think it's only a problem if it starts to change. It instantly starts growing and becoming irregularly shaped and flowing up my arm. Then I think it's like a 1/2 inch pine-needle-shaped germ that's crawling up the insides of my arm towards my shoulder, I get frantic for the doctor to stop it/ take it out. The doctor gives me "C??-256" which causes all of the needle-shaped germs inside me to glow bright red/pink, I look down at my naked torso and see it is covered with dozens of these bright pink little slashes.

There is some narrated discussion about this C??-256 chemical compound and how it works.

+ I'm on a tennis court preparing to play with a friend. I see beyond some barrier a blonde girl and a black guy (I "think" I've seen them before). Then the guy and girl are on the court and I'm waiting for them to leave so I can start playing, but they keep on standing there. Eventually I get annoyed and ask them to leave, then I walk across the court to my opponent, carrying two tennis rackets, hand one racket to my friend, and head back to my side of the court considering my racket, it's like the old aluminum one I used to play with as a boy, with two strange rectangular chunks attached to the racquet neck. I make a few hits of the ball back and forth.

+(f) some complicated high tech fighting scenario in a very crowded indoor location, forgot

Super long time in bed, but most of the first half of the night passed in unrestful half-sleep with many wakings without dreams

22:30 hand-written affirmations and intentions about lucidity, one page
23:00 2mg melatonin
00:00(?) bedtime

+(f) climbing hills, vacant popcorn vendor stands

+ big political press conference, thankfully our room was blocked off from the thronging masses via a line of podiums

+ in a large room with many doors, see a leg right by me, see hair on it, notice it's a naked girl, dive in & sexy time for a bit, she loves it & I love it[*], then I realize the doors are all open, go to close them, people keep coming in, I keep pushing them out, they're really insistent and I really struggle to get them out and close everything and this continues until the dream ends/transitions

Spoiler for (*) details, explicit 18+:

as I realize that there's a naked girl lying down next to me with legs spread wide, I immediately move between her legs and place my mouth on her (ahem): I don't bother with teasing her inner thighs first, just dive right in. As I go in for the first time I sniff to detect her scent but I don't detect much of anything. She moans in pleasure at the contact, I really go to work on her. At one point I raise up both arms and squeeze each breast while continuing to eat her, she continues to moan and I feel an erection building

+ I'm clarifying with the (courier?) that the tickets I'm buying will arrive in time before the show, if the won't make it what's the point, courier assures me that there's time (the concert's in 2 weeks?), well that's OK then

+ playing ping-pong with my dad, he's doing quite well, every one of my serves from right to left goes long, I want to do overhead smash tennis-like-serves but the ceiling is so low that I can't even raise my racket over my head, I get in a serve from left to right that is low and fast and nicks the edge of the table on its way past my dad

+ (DO at start) they're digging the trenches for a massive defensive wall for the city, tall enough to repel any invasion, I see the trenches and they don't look all that big; riding up a massive ski lift up a long hill, the lift structure is made from massive (bicycle-like) chain links: the going-up part and the going-down part are on one structure but still separate, I'm closely observing the mechanism, I'm afraid that I may get trapped at the top and get hurt or have to go back down, (I get off ok?)

+ I'm pushing a long (toy?) miniature train (which is two trains parallel to each other) up an incline track, every few inches there is a little wire barrier that causes a sound (chime) to ring as the train passes it, I think this is to synchronize your dancing rhythm with your partner's (!), I'm keeping the two trains in sync well, at the top at the judging station the train cars all come apart (bad!) and I think I may have to do it over again

+ packing my tent, sleeping bag, and some poles into a large bag to place on top of my backpack, everyone else is packed I'm lagging behind, zipping up my sleeping bag the zippers don't work well; I see my favorite big rock that is slightly hollowed out like a bean-bag chair, comfy for sitting in, wait, or is that just a guy wearing a boulder costume?; some team sport competition; amusing sight: one of the teammates periodically is seen in a tiny red car having sex with a girl (2-3 times during the dream see this) the car is bouncing and squeaking to their movement;

+ arrive to a dinner party, someone brings out an elaborate (huge clam-shaped?) soufle-thing that suddenly starts to inflate and drip all over the table; climb up some stairs, hey did some kids open the presents that are for my kinds?, climb back down and there are some yellow bananas on the step below me; re-enter dinner party place there's a group of kids I'm leery of, I see the table and know they're waiting for me for the dinner

awake several times in late morning, make it back to sleep via breath concentration and neck chakra visualization/meditation, late morning dreams vague

11:30 get up

Dreams last night were *really interesting* but recall of them not great in some cases:

+ in a group of friends, we've time travelled back a bit in time, we're in my paren't house, I hope we can make it through without them seeing us and causing paradoxes, the crowd of people is in theater-style seating in the dark, but my dad looks at us and cracks a big smile

+ group of friends, putting on hoodies (which one is best?), childhood neighborhood, take of flying down the streets/hills, turn a few corners (on our typical route left down F then left on A), see major power line downage, enter heavy construction area, trying to climb (should I do a spiderman climb?)/jump up pole to read its service number (32), leave area and a narrator is telling a man with a heavy English accent who walks by me not to interfere

+ arrive to street in front of childhood home, family dinner there on a long dining table in the street, my mother is receiving news about my arrival and it finishes it projects all sort of horrible end results and disasters and starts crying heavily, then she's narrating what happened and described that her son-in-law's mother was being rude to her like she typically does

+ flying with friends going somewhere over hilly cities/suburbs, we go to "my sister's house" and observe from the air (an army of cleaning people is working there?); later, leaving this house waiting for the hovering (alien?) air ships to land, something's wrong, there's too many and they're keeping their distance, they open fire, I fire a bazooka-style rocket launcher at one, miss, fire again at another more carefully and wait for the target lock sound, hear it, fire, and know that it's dead, there's no avoiding the homing rocket once it's locked on.

+ walk through outdoor daylight area, people there, I see a small "bread girl" and think about touching her bread boobs and either shrinking to her size or growing her to my size then stop when I realize how stupid it is to want to get with a girl made out of bread, I decide to fly away, but when I jump for take-off a full bottle of tequila falls out of my pant leg, I see a girl seated on the ground and go to her and pour tequila shots for us and a group, the weird little shot glasses have a lot of crumbs/sand around the rim and I think about brushing it off

+(f) "backstage" at some camp/event large area lots of groups, walking through it; enter another back stage see an (ex-girlfriend?), lie down on top of her back saying "you know you want to get back together" we walk out

+ in a crowd of people like a video game scrambling for objects on the ground, I use a keyboard interface and try "get all" but that's disabled, I try to list the individual objects and get one by one but there's too much pandemonium to get sense of anything; a guy is struggling with my son to take things from a bag, they're both digging in, my wife is standing to the side, I look and see just things like bread

+ in a canoe on U. Lake in boy scouts, calm early morning, think about teaching MoSa canoeing merit badge, water levels are low and see the rocks below the surface, I'm canoeing, doing J stroke, sometimes alternating sides (like a noob), return to J stroke (like a cool canoer) enter R. lagoon, the obstacle course is messed up from the water being low, go to the end by R. camp, see a good obstacle, successfully go through it, see a deep pool light by a ray of the sun and there are goldfish in it, think that's odd, I should show the others, some non-scouts are camping in R. camp I catch a glimpse of them, their big SUV is parked *in the water* of the lagoon, head back out to the lake, catching another glimpse of the strange goldfish in the light.
