FryingMan

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.

mostly short moments:

+ my niece & sister have left my childhood home, but the priest is coming; my dad's sliced open all the very sugary looking muffins (there's a pumpkin pie one) on the platter and sampled some, they look good; Stalin comes for tea(?)

+(f) the long-barrel shotgun with laser sighting is mounted to the ceiling, it's used to keep (students?) under control?

+ at work (B, Inc.), I'm leaving, but I'm trying to make sure the code will compile for when I archive it and take it to my new company, the build environment may be different there, I wonder about the Alpha processor code.

+ sampling ice cream with wife in the "Just Coffee" store arrive with family in car to outside the "Just Coffee" place [they only have coffee there], I say "yeah I could use a boost", look through the windows trying to see the insides of the store, I see napkins and condiments like a ketchup bottle on a counter, inside we see they have snacks and ice-cream, my son S2 voices his disappointment at the selection, in the ice cream aisle my wife wants me to take a sample but I won't since it's not right to do that, I see a chunk of circular ice-cream sandwich where wedge (for samples) was taken out, maybe it's OK to sample, I take a bite from a medium-sized unwrapped/open chunk of green (mint?) ice cream and it tastes severely of freezer-burn, the cookies-n-cream open sample chunk is much better, I point out to my wife repeatedly that the phone number of the clerk is written on the ice cream, then the clerk is there and I tell him that the cookies-n-cream is much better than the green one.

+ vivid amazing long flying/gliding dream among steep tall mountainous seascapes: cupping the air with my hands and soaring in slow circles over the landscapes and crowds of people going "ooo! ahh!" at the sight of me, teaching friends to do the same (almost no wind left though!)

+(f) kids at the beach on an inclined sandy hill, don't play too close or you'll get sand on people

+ kissing my kids at a really young age, promising we'll go to our favorite yogurt place, but how to get there from here, oh yes let's take "680", blind left(U) turn on odd traffic light signal there's a huge line of cars (in the left lane), think the signal maybe was the fusion of two arrow signs

+ See JoLa (KC) at party, he's young and buff looking and dark haired, sudden WTF moment, how did I get here, how long have I been here (missed it)?

+ It's super late at the office, quite dark, see ChDo shake his hand as he leaves, go to my cube, someone's drunk friend is in there which annoys me, I look at my cube wall and see that my colleagues have gone "cube signing" (like yearbook signing but they sign their messages on the walls of the cube) and I missed it, but I see my own signature with my old cell phone number from presumably long ago, see FrFi zip by my cube opening (curly tussled hair), call him back, he comes, shakes hand, super other tall guy DaGe (DC) also comes (didn't call him) but shook his hand, too.

+ walk by a room with open door, see it's the home's exercise room, decide to go in for a look around, open door, see naked guy there posing in front of a mirror, I scream like a little girl and run out from the room ("AAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEK!"), go to bathroom, want to do #2, the toilet is the size of a teacup and 1 meter off the ground, see 2nd larger toilet on the left of the first but it's still too small and to high up off the ground, think about how to aim my butt, notice naked gym guy looking in from across the hall, close the venetian blinds

+ sitting at a banquet in rows of tables (like at a conference, wide rows of tables and everyone's sitting on one side facing the front), the guys in front of us (lot of them) are getting drunk, I want to order a type of alcohol from the waiters but can only think of the name "Rothschild", then I think why not just order a bourbon and coke, the guy in my row says "too sweet," and I find I've pulled out the entire loaf of bread from the bag, putting it on my plate, wonder WTF I did that for, and put the bread back in the bag; the guy in the front row has a tasty looking big roll with red slices of salami/beef lying on top of it

Great middle dream, and late BTS victory leading to a semi-lucid fairly long DEILD-like medley of sexy time

early:

+(f) (mostly forgot, overwritten by later epic): I'm on transport taking a trip to connecting transport, it's taking too long, the route is too circuitous, I vow next time I'll just walk to the station

+ (epic, interestingly: replayed a 2nd time, and completed) 1st time: on transport (bus?) seat for 2, woman asks to sit so me and my friend scoot to the right and she sits down to my right, (then a guy plops down right at her feet), arrive at airport in "Novosibirsk," leave in car, I think that it's a small town because you can see greenery/trees right outside the airport boundaries, observe dark heavy cloudy stormy skies, it's dark outside, car is open to the air, it's very cold, driving a bit, we get blocked by a wall of snow, look back, then back forwards and it's gone, through a gate our now cartoon-ish car is jumping up and down and licking something from the ground, inside the registration area there's strawberries and a chocolate fountain and more, trying to read the handwritten info slip in the car with all the instructions I needed, have trouble reading it); 2nd time: talking with son about woman on bus, he said she called me "Nose", I told him I thought I heard her mumbling something, at gate leading to our destination, lots of people walking towards gate to registration two girls race ahead to get in first and I swear at this, I step through person-door in gate, it's 30 minutes per person at registration, I expect and see a big line at registration when I walk in, I think we'll be here all night, I'm standing in the middle of line wearing a backpack [I cut?], I look back behind me but I don't want to go back to the end of the line, I want to quickly ask about my bank card because it (was declined?) and I don't want to wait in this long line only to be rejected, I'm served now at counter, I ask about the card, the clerk says the transaction company was bought, I say "oh because the company was bought that explains why my card failed?", he additionally says, "There was a disk I/O failure,". The guy is removing the perforated edge from around a (curved) form, I do this too but the perforated parts don't cleanly separate, I build up a handful of the removed edge, crumple it up, and put it on the ground (light colored tile?), I'm lying on ground [dream sign] and guy standing in skeleton mask comes up and asks me "Hey Tom [not my name], can I get a ride?", I answer "uh, yeah…who are you?", I have no idea who this guy is, I get a peek under the mask and sort of recognize him, but I'm thinking of the (B, Inc.) former colleague but it's not him. I look out the window up the hill to the (hotel? conference center?), it's huge and majestic, and ask about how to get there, how will I find where I'm going? I notice that room numbers are printed around the outside of the building and figure that will guide me.

+ on the computer: I want to get the build to work, it's my first day, I always have this goal at a new job, search, links, remote mode blue boxes require constant re-synchronization, I'd rather do the search myself; see AshSri (from KC) who tells me my open source contribution is 2.5 times higher on the popularity list now

Awake, review epic dream a long time, mind very active, check time, it's still fairly early, eventually BTS via meditation

+ gym: looking for bicep machine, some guys are working out nearby are they on that machine? No, it's just to them, I grab hold of the hand-holds and set the weight for 30 pounds, should be no trouble, but I can't budge it, hmm that's odd. See another stack of weights for a machine that is "counter balanced" by one of those large circular plates used for bench pressing, I think maybe this is the bicep machine but as I come around front I see it's an inclined sit-up bench

A nasty, topless, gigantic (way huge, like medicine-ball-sized)-boobed hooker half-propositioning me ("only $xxx" which I agree is a pretty good deal), the senator (old fat guy lying there) is her most frequent customer (check him for cleanliness?), senator's assistant pulls down the senator's pants and I half-heartedly look for signs of disease but not for long and move on.

+ Lying down, a really cute girl with short black hair enters room, I do a "finger hook" "come here" gesture and she does, and thus begins a fairly epic medley of semi-lucid DEILD sexy-times (at least 6 recalled, probably more);

Spoiler for sexy-time, 18+:

at one point in childhood home trying to find private place, return to my old bedroom but mother is in the middle of a complete rearrangement/remodel, think briefly about the shower; (short black-haired, one standing/talking (she's a bit afraid of me, I'm reassuring her, she had a bad experience before), one by wall on knees with exposed (ahem) that keeps inching away from me as I reach for her (but I make it), one in building room with sexy lip-pulling kisses, outside then inside childhood home, 2 on sidewalk. Last one on sidewalk it's like I'm giving instruction to somebody about dream sex at first, "Don't be picky, just grab the first one that comes along" which I do. I start talking to her while I'm feeling up her chest under her shirt (I'm lying down she's on top of me), I feel my dream body firming up into the dream, including my dream mouth while I'm speaking, turn her around for 69, anticipate her contact which I feel once OK, then again really intense, then wake up

Finally back to some semi-epic dreaming!

early (late morning epics overwrote a couple more early ones):

+ I turn myself in for something and get arrested, they send a construction guy to clear away the thing we were building, he leaves all the building materials neatly stacked

+ dipping a stick into the ground, picking it up and eating the dirt/sand, do this several times before I realize I'm eating dirt and stop

+ I'm in nature outside in daylight, start walking down a 2 meter-wide path of short mowed grass, I know this is in an Ent forest. I wonder who mows the grass or if it is just grazed on by animals. I think about Ents walking around (but don't see one).

I'm wading along a clear stream, about a meter wide, standing in the middle, it is located under trees closing above blocking the sky. I look down in the water and see saucer-sized & shaped flat fish (like sole) that are light colored, almost transparent. They're friendly and swarm around me tickling my legs. I think they're easy to catch, and I grab hold of a few and lift them out of the water in my hands briefly. (One bits my finger and I have to pull it off?)

+ round table of <foreign language> teachers faces, several of them are my nationality (so how good are they if they're not native?), one is a blonde female missing some teeth (and is named "Jacky?")

+ baseball play: two runners both reach 2nd, collide, they both run for 3rd, really digging up dirt as they run, the throw is to 3rd, the first guy at least dives for the base and is safe. I think somebody must have been out, I'm not sure entirely what happened.

late:

+ (false?) WILD transition, feel a fast atonia buzz/vibrations, yelling for my dad to "pick me up!" (into the dream), feel partial separation of dream mouth and dream body

+ I'm in a house high in the hills overlooking bay in the distance (like childhood home). Looking out the window at the water along the coastline in the distance, I see shapes of a large school of large things I decide are dolphins moving underneath the water. I see a very large animal as well and decide it's a whale. I watch them swimming around for a while and call to my family to come and see them. I keep repeatedly trying to point out the whale to my wife but she can't see it. The whale transforms into a massive dinosaur-looking fish whose back extends up out of the water. I'm becoming frantic with frustration amazed that my wife can't see the huge fish which is right there IT'S RIGHT THERE!

Then I'm floating in the very blue water in a seated position, body upright, my upper body is out of the water. I'm moving at fairly fast speed, like I'm holding on to a rope in the water being pulled by something. A bunch of people are moving along with me. Our path is an arc moving out into the deeper water, then curving to the left and heading back towards shore. We pass some people floating there in the water who are not moving, I think they've become stranded. I see some people are swimming along with the current to go faster. There are some large but gentle rounded waves at one point.

The water is now like a turbulent stream heading uphill, I see the owner/creator of the theme park for which this river is the entrance ride, he's saying something about the park. I briefly flow through small tunnels then emerge onto the descending entrance stairway into the park. I see a ball (walnut?) bouncing down the steps one by one. We're then there in the park (me, wife, kids [smaller age]). I look around and am not impressed. It's very large/huge for a playground but very small for an amusement part, more like a neighborhood park. The jungle gyms look boring and like everything is for very small children, I think my kids will be bored here.

Then I'm at the entrance again, which is like a deep empty swimming pool, I can't find the way up to enter the park. (Something opens?) and I see a way in? My glasses fall off and hit the hard cement ground and I'm afraid they're broken. I pick them up and indeed a see a big crack running along both lenses in the middle. I'm looking closely at the glasses for a few seconds and notice where the glass has broken away from the frames in places. I think these are expensive glasses ($XXX), and wonder if I can get just the lenses replaced. I do go sit down on a bench next to my wife and think more about these glasses.

+ in a building, someone's throwing something down a long hallway to us, we toss it back

I'm walking through a sports complex looking for a racquetball court. The courts are on the left, they're all bizarre: the walls are paneled with colorful, odd materials like those "solar street panels" [watched a video about these yesterday]:

The courts have glass front walls [DS] and are oddly-shaped. Too small, not deep enough, one extra-small one has 4+ guys in it playing handball, I watch one of the guys hit the ball off of the back wall in a big smash. One of the courts is "on the corner" and has a large corner inside the court itself.

Farther along, I'm hoping at least to find a challenge court so I can play soon, I wonder about my ability to play though at my age and shape. I come across what I think is a challenge court, there are about 8 people milling around outside, inside I see that they are playing doubles (2 on 2). I'm losing hope of finding an empty court or of being able to play. I turn around and walk back towards where I was before, some courts are now open but they're really weird: some sort of tent-structure is on top and a basketball hoop and I know these are "fighting" courts where there is real violence. One guy is going up to the upper part of one of these courts and wants me to join but I don't go in, it's not to my taste.

I walk further into the structure and emerge outside into a dark bleak landscape, there's nothing here, maybe another building in the distance. I turn around to go back but now I'm far up a steep hill above the exit where I came out, I see some people milling around there, I jump and float down, trying to aim for this door, but I'm gaining speed and I miss the door, trying to grab on to some poles as I go by and not get hurt.

+ semi-lucid girl-grabbing sex-fest, starting outside and moving into a public restroom, ending with (2?) FAs.

Spoiler for sexy time, 18+:

I'm on some patio and see a cute girl walk why, I instantly grab her and start undressing her. She's sort of struggling but I manage to get her pants down and run my finger around on her (ahem), really rubbing it and feeling it and I "wake up (FA?)" in bed with my finger rubbing a pillow, still half in the dream, I reenter.

I'm now in a public bathroom and the mother of the girl I was touching is there saying s.l. she wants to know about the man who wants to be with her daughter. So she takes a weird condom from a condom dispenser on the wall. It's a two-layer device with a lot of air in it like a balloon. I put the condom on (I'm pleasantly dream super-sized) and look down to see it and squeeze out the air, it's transparent and I see my thing there (it's gotten sort of long and thin) and the woman starts a BJ with a strong suck to begin with which I like but I'm frustrated at the muted feeling due to the condom and think how I could trick her and take it off without her noticing.

I'm then walking towards a large stall, and (see a girl inside or take one in) and some old grandmother is trying to come in but I bolt the door and start undressing the girl who's in completely wet clothing. I think this is a waste of time and just tear off her clothes and lay her on the floor. She's already shrunk to large doll-sized, I see her naked body for a bit and appreciate it but she starts shrinking and pretty soon she's the size of a finger. I still try to engage but my attention is grabbed by another girl I see underneath the stall door.

There's a girl with a guy in the next stall (which seems to be an outdoor area actually), and I get a BJ from her briefly under the door which is great [I also think how this dream is holding nicely] but she stops and tried to move in and use her hand, I want her mouth again and reach for her head and pull it back and continue for a while and wake up moving my hips in bed (FA?) which I become instantly concerned about and stop. I then have a FA where I wake up in a bed where there are a number of adult women looking at me with slightly disapproving expressions, I think they know what kind of dream I was having.

+ … I'm walking through wide open fields on a very dark night. I'm concerned about pursuit, I can barely see anything in any direction. Take out a small, stubby but powerful flashlight (LED), click one control which doesn't do anything, turn it over in my hand and click another control and the powerful beam turns on. However, it's next to useless since the beam is so tight (it only spreads to a foot wide even at a distance of 100 yards). I shine the light and I see in the far distance scouts sleeping in campsites. I turn around and shine the light back and forth trying to detect pursuit but just can't see anything, the beam is too narrow. Walking forwards with the flashlight still the beam falls on a scout sleeping in a dry creek/ditch, then see more scouts.

I'm at a (cooking fire?) with a scout, he's cooking for me a nasty looking ragged dumpling (like a pot sticker), the dog licked it? We'd better boil it...

+ waterpark slides with team of rebels: going down steep slides several times and meeting up with comrades.

+ I'm standing in the metal-walled back of a (garbage?) truck which is near a tall wall. Some one calls out "come see the wild jellyfish migration!", and I peek my head around the back of the truck looking forwards and see a (narrow) ocean-scene with waves breaking in my direction. The sunlight is very bright and everything is quite beautiful. I see large spotted seals flopping and jumping through the waves towards the ocean. They lift up their "arms" and I see they have webbed wings like flying squirrels. I say "those seals are like flying squirrels!" A huge bear enters the ocean from stage left and crams its mouth down onto a seal, almost entirely swallowing it, just a foot of the seal's butt is hanging out of the bear's mouth. "Awwwww, poor seal!" I say. I'm concerned about the bear climbing in to the back of the truck where we are. The truck backs up against the wall so that the bear shouldn't have any way to get in.

The vehicle is now a large (ferry) boat, and the back is up against a very old dock made up of very orange, rusty metal. The boat starts moving. JaEi (company R) is at the helm. There is a

and also a large model of the ship. The model is manipulated via two hands, one forwards and one aft, the one aft controls the real ships rudder and is used for turning. I watch for a while and watch how JE moves the model ship and how the real ship performs the same motion. I ask "does the rear control move the ship's rudder?" JE says "yes." I see (out the window) that our real ship is moving and turning.

Super-hero vs. super-villain battle. There is one super-villain up high in a room in an industrial-multi-level area, a hero says "he likes buttons [push button controls] too much." There is a brief view of the lead villain inside, then he steps outside and has a big fancy ray-gun device.

A villain is trying to dodge the attacks of the heroes in a large room. He's jumping all around the walls and hiding behind the many objects in the room. The heroes start clearing all the objects out so that only the bare walls remain and the villain has no place left to hide. I'm remote-controlling the villain via computer keyboard, frantically trying to maneuver him out the door to escape but the heroes block the door, pile on top of the villain and presumably destroy him.

The heroes are hanging around afterwards discussing their powers. One of them says s.l. "I can control the A/C throughout an entire city" and one of them responds "well I wish I'd known that earlier!"

Yesterday:

[DS] = dream sign
[FM] = false memory
+ begin (new) dream content
- begin notes content

+ playing the space war game "empire": furiously typing the commands at the keyboard in dogfights, winning battles as a Kaz, I get about 10 kills accumulated, I'm thinking about changing course, firing phasers, and gorps. Eventually I get killed, come back in as an Orion for some reason

+ epic: I'm lying on the ground [DS] in the middle of a parking lot in daylight (though under the shade of trees?) with some friend. I adjust the comforter underneath me. I'm wondering about how safe it is to be on the ground in the middle of a parking lot where cars drive, a car comes by and we stand up?

In a (work?) parking area high in the South Bay hills, dry golden/brown grasses, there are several colorful cars here, I can't find my car (it's stolen?) and the remaining cars all have very large dents in them: I think the bad guys have stolen (my? a?) car and used it to crash into each of the other cars in the parking lot leaving big damage on each one (like a huge indentation). I'm looking for my car, I think it's a colorful weird-ish station wagon, more curvy than rectangular. This parking lot with dented cars scene happens a few times.

The gang of bad guys is "skiing" up the path to the parking lot. I look out over the view of the huge valley below and think of flying away [DS], but think "too bad that I'm not dreaming and so can't fly" [DS].

I'm walking through a house: a friend (young man) and his mother have just moved here. The house is packed full of potted plants with bright red flowers, they're all along the floor/walls. (Some brief conversation?)

I'm in a room in the parking lot area, the bad guys (leader and thugs) are there with guns. I think I need to dodge them. I'm jumping around in this small room trying to subtly open my waist bag to get out my pepper spray so they won't see what I'm doing. I get out the spray and point it at their faces and it doesn't spray very well. I continue to dodge in closer quarters and I feel that one of the bullet grazes my shoulder. I get my pepper spray to give a good stream and hit the faces of the leader and thug, and make my escape.

As I'm moving away I think I do not want to call the police.

I'm in my childhood home, talking with (family?) I live there with my current family. Suddenly something shocking grabs my attention, (I see a curtain in another room that wasn't there before), I think the bad guys maybe have made this change? I run upstairs to get my pistol from my sister's closet [FM], I think no, I'd rather get my shotgun from my room's closet [FM]. I reach inside the door jam and pick up the shotgun. I cock it open and see the dual barrels are already loaded each with a shell. I snap the gun closed again and see two shells attached to the top of the barrel, I pull them off and put them into my right rear jeans pocket. I think my son S2 must have been using the gun and he usually leaves things a mess. I shake out some (batteries?) from the barrel. I think that I do not want to "try" shooting it of course so I should be careful with the trigger.

I go to the top of the stairs and lie down on the ground adopting a "sniper" position covering the front door, and I see my colleagues come in, they're carrying a bunch of moving boxes of my stuff, and they pile them in the front hallway besides the stairs.

-Today:

- lots of dreams, no night-time recording so lost most of them

+(f) bed, jumping on bed, old adult home (was long)

+ bedroom outside, there's a wall to prevent people walking on the path from looking directly at you, guy working there, the cook rings for the meal, I gather my Sierra cup, fork, knife and spoon after a short search

+ group gathering for event, wife annoying me, old college colleagues are older but still in the department, I'm shirtless will JoIr recognize me?; DO closeup of my shoulder/arm muscles flexing while I swim ("I'm buff!"), what if tons of tiny sharks come and bite me to death?

No wakings recalled early, mid recall only a few moments, late recall great but interrupted (right when things were getting good)

2015-04-07

-00:08 bedtime

-mid, 06:12

+ In a gathering with people in a half-lit room, I'm standing by an open refrigerator and select an open bottle of somewhat murky liquid to drink. I realize this is the bottle that previously had beer in it and now was refilled with water, I take a drink of it trying to detect the former beer flavor but don't feel it. I hear MR is telling tale of encountering a bad guy, where M told him s.l. "do you really want to do that?"

+ In childhood home (longer earlier part forgotten), I'm leaving the house, walking from the garage up to the street in front of the house, then back down the front steps to the front yard. A small black boy follows me. On the final approach at the bottom of the stairs, I see that a medium-sized (6-8 feet), new fruit tree (plum?) has been planted right in the middle of the walkway. This is somewhat surprising but I "remember" [FM] that yes this is a new tree recently planted here. I look at it and see the sunlight hitting its leaves, this is the only spot in the highly sheltered yard where there is sun exposure [FM]. I want to enter the house and take my proper leave of my parents. I enter the open front door and my mother is there, (also my sister is around), the boy enters the house and my mother says to him "oh there you are!"

-long BTS, following breath, works best: exhaling all tension, all "effort", no mantra, over and over.

-late, 08:00?

+ arrive in my room somewhere, like a dorm room in a large old building: I'm closely examine the multiple doors to the room and the old/intricate locking mechanisms on the door. I see a small (red?) dial on top of a radiator and turn it off as I don't want the room to get too hot. I exit to the hallway & see & invite attractive middle-aged woman with short black hair into my room, she seems like she'd by sexy, she's wearing some makeup. I return to my room after her, closing the multiple sets of doors as I go, thinking if I should offer her a drink

+ I'm sitting in my first adult car in childhood home garage, the car behaves strangely, it's drifting forwards towards the wall/shelves sort of out of control, I repeatedly apply the parking brake to stop the car from hitting the wall. I back out of the garage up the driveway to the street and as I enter the street I realize I did not look behind me and that this is dangerous because I could hit somebody very easily. Once on the street I look ahead and I see many red emergency vehicles stopped all over the street (with more arriving?), my car is rolling forwards again and I almost roll into a fireman standing there.

+(f) on street outside childhood home, think of flying, test gravity by jumping about 15 feet into the air, I float slowly down and I sort of giggle and just continue with the dream (followed by air-swimming) (ARGH!)

-Notice my wife is already up, spread out comfortably to ideal dreaming position and fall back asleep (I frequently get lucid once she's out of bed when I can sleep in)

-very late, 10:30:

+ I'm really groggy and my vision is really poor (FA?), I can't see clearly the adult women on the other side of the room. I'm lying under some covers right next to a hot girl wearing [don't see, imagine] red bikini panties who's still asleep. I'm looking to see if anybody can see us. I decide they can't see and get bold.

Spoiler for 18+:

I reach my left hand up very high to her inner thigh and firmly grip her leg there, it's quite exciting. I get bolder and start pushing the back of my fingers against her (ahem) through the panties, trying to feel the outline.

+ girl asks me to be her escort at the beach (woohoo!) because of possibility of encountering bad guys; throwing a frisbee discuss style with glowing LEDs all around the rim, the manager(?) (asks me not to do that inside?)

+(f) playing ping-pong outside with some kids (1 boy 1 girl)

+ bunch of bad guys leaving beach in a room, they left garbage, we pick it up, take it out, woman carrying very tall objects "look out for electrical wires", put things in open rooms in building? walk out to entrance to the proper garbage area, which is a huge indoors area with a tall, large flat pile of really stinking garbage, we throw the stuff there and to the floor area to the right.

+ my kids have found a large hole in the ground & a secret room below it with ceremonial daggers, they had to scare away the rats which ran across the street and when I look carefully it turned into a cat, walking around and we're leaving, we seal this room with a layer of clear (glass?) on top of the entrance hole, as we leave but I take the handful of ornamental daggers as souvenirs.

+(f) leaving a restaurant, some guys have a girl on the table, I'm watching as I continue by

+ return to entrance to beach area, thers one girl sitting in that area who seems a bit leery of me, another girl comes by, turns, and moves to leave, I'm waiting for her to come to me herself but it looks like she won't, so I reach out with my right arm and hook it around her as she moves away to the right, and pull her (she doesn't resist) right up onto my lap/right leg. I ask her her name and look directly into her eyes, she's really cute. "I'm Wershel" she answers, "Wershel!?" I say, and she says "I'm not supposed to give you any confessions," she says, she was warned against me? She seems tentative but is sitting calmly, her face is so close to mine that I can smell her breath, and …

-my wife wakes me up! No, my beloved Wershel! Wershel! AAAAARGH!

+(f) packing (another?) sandwich into MR's lunch

I have to put a sandwich into my friend MR's lunch box. There's already another sandwich there, I lift up the top and see it's half white/half brown, like half tunafish and half peanut butter. I put the other sandwich on top of the first one. Then I think that I should have put it in a bag so that the two stay separate.

+(f) (at the gym?)

+ hanging out with the pot grower / Christmas tree seller

I'm lying on the ground [dreamsign] in a small store/room talking to a pot grower. He's discussing the different varieties he has/grows. He takes a bundle of cellophane-wrapped pot "starter plants" (each a slender stalk about 1 meter tall) out of a closet. I want to ask him how much money he makes or what is the most profitable but I don't want to look like I'm interested in joining the business.

The stores has changed to be a Christmas tree store. I'm with my wife. We're trying to choose a tree. I start in the same corner of the room I was lying in with the pot grower, and I'm looking around at the trees. They're all potted, and all short. They have acacia Christmas trees but I think they won't do at all, need a pine tree. I see a well-shaped (but short) pine tree but it is entirely black below the top few rows of branches. I think there is no way to "copy" the ornaments automatically from one tree to another tree.

At the other side of the store, I decide not to get anything at all because I've not seen anything I like. My attention is drawn to two ornamental pots with small sculptures in them. Both of them contain clay owls exactly like my mother used to make. My wife comments that they look like her owls. I get choked up and start sobbing/crying and turn away, asking my wife to buy one because they remind me of my mother/home. My voice sounds very high-pitched like a tiny kid and I think I sound very un-manly.

+ Brutal race/fight where the loser suffers painful humiliating punishment

Two guys glad in black leather fighting suits are preparing for a fight. I notice when one guy takes off his cloak that he has a lot of weapons attached to his belt, like small axes, etc. One guy is putting the "punishment" device on to a central table, it's a long, petrified male organ with a chain at the end (sort of like a large "rabbit's foot"). The loser of the fight must endure having the winner jam this thing into the loser's butt.

The scene switches to a large race track, and the competition is now a (foot) race rather than a fight. As the race commences I'm on the sidelines, and take up a banner of some sort that others are holding, it's some sign that show's the status of the race or the direction of the track or something like that, and hold it up over the track with the others so that the (cameras?) can see it.

The race contestants are a good guy and a bad guy. The good guy loses. I think (see?) the girlfriend/wife of the good guy run to their vehicle, maybe he'll make a break for it to avoid the punishment. I go over to the main building and there is a huge, loud crowd there, they're not going to let the loser get away.

A bunch of people are in a hallway, I see the loser clad in black and he's screaming "IT HURTS!" I don't see the actual application of the punishment (which is now a long baton in the butt) but imagine it sticking out of his backend.

Someone complains about this brutal punishment being applied to "a loving person." There's some sort of short swarthy sneaky looking event official there walking along with people saying s.l. "don't interfere with the proceedings."

In the garage beyond the race track I'm there and a car of some guys drives up, they make a sharp right turn and the left front wheel of the car flies right off of its axel and flops to the ground a short distance away. The car/wheels are very pimp-looking: furry and bright pink. I expect that the car will collapse on the axel and it does soon, starting to slide towards me, I hope out of the way. Walking beyond the car I see a ping pong table against the wall of the garage.

Dream shifts to a documentary-memorial: at various spots around the (world?) there are plaques on the ground: the view shifts to a top-down view looking at them and each time the plaque fades away and we see the face / short video of the person who died. Most of them are white young men. Some of them died from dehydration during the race.

+ guy was hiding his skill at a video game: he has an unstoppable super attack based on anger and running momentum

+ shower house: showers everywhere, channels of water running along the floor

+(f) bro-in-law takes me aside, asks me something: family members there

(more here, forgot, clobbered by epic below)

+ epic: my lightsaber: visualize blade, change its color, wave it around, walk to the park, drone ride, demonstrate lightsaber at party
This is a non-lucid despite some control (color change)

I'm standing outside childhood home on HC street facing S st. I bring out my lightsaber and ignite it. Again not much visuals so I focus on visuals, and a short (2-feet) green blade appears, sort of sparkly, with a flat white area towards the handle. I want it to change color, I will it to turn blue. I look at it and concentrate on it. Slowly some blue appears and then suddenly it's all blue. I walk towards the end of HC at F. Bl. and I swing the blade into the ground a bit. At F I turn to the left down the hill and walk on the right side of the street, as I pass by the R's house I see two metallic swimming pool staircase handles, and I swing the blade through these handles. Nothing happens, it's not a real lightsaber.

I look at the lightsaber in my left hand: the handle is short and small, like a small metallic flashlight, about half the diameter of a typical old-time flashlight. My hand barely fits on the handle, and my fingers are almost dangerously close to the energy blade.

It's darker now and I continue on F. past Av. and towards the park. There are some people playing with toy lightsabers in the middle of the street but mine is much better. I head down the stairs to the top level of the park. A mother is at the bottom of the stairs throwing some toy thing up the stairs to her child. I think that the toy isn't the point: the point is the parent and child enjoying time together, the toy is just a means.

On the middle level of the park approaching the old clubhouse, there is a tall chain-link fence there. I see on the lower level that my best friend MR is playing with someone, with a kite/drone. I quickly run up the fence and jump off the top of it, gaining some altitude, and grab on to a toy quad copter drone, there's a string handing down and a small bulb (like a turkey baster) that I grab on to with my right hand. The drone flies towards the lower level, maintaining it's altitude, so I'm now quite high up over the ground (25 feet at least, feels really high). My right hand starts to feel sweaty and tired, I'm hoping this thing will start losing altitude soon because I'll get seriously hurt if I fall. It flies to the far tall chainlink fence turns left and flies around the perimiter, slowly losing altitude.

I'm on the ground and say to MR good thing I landed because I was losing my grip. He says s.l. he never loses his grip.

In the corner of the lower level near (bottom of main path) I'm sitting there talking about my lightsaber construction with one or two guys. I've unscrewed the top, and am trying to screw the nut back on but it has gotten really dirty I'm pulling out very dirty greasy nasty stuff (like the stuff you pull out of the shower drain, it's gross).

The guy asks me what chip is in there. I can't remember. I know it's not an Intel chip. All I can think of is "P....P....P... PDP-10? No, it's not a PDP". The guy is holding the chip (it's huge, a square, 2-inches on a side) and is reattaching it to the socket. For some reason it's not sitting flat in the socket (something got warped?). I take it and carefully align the pins on the bottom of the chip with the holes in the socket and I get it to get back in.

I head up back to the middle level of the playground. Other people have toy lightsabers but mine is clearly the best. Then I'm inside a house, it's a party, all young guys there, I'm showing off my lightsaber. I'm waving it around, the beam looks a lot now like a green laser. I'm standing in a kitchen near a counter with cabinets above but an open area in between them where you can see through. I say "the only thing it needs to be a real lightsaber is a blade that cuts. I could install a stronger laser." I'm trying to listen to the sound, but there is none. I turn it off, then turn it on again and the sound works, I demonstrate the sound of waving it around and it is very pleasingly realistic. I hand it over to some guys to try and I think they'll be really impressed with it. I notice they turn it off and hear the realistic "swish" turning off sound.


+ collection of late morning dozing dreams (fragments mostly) after BTS: girls pressing into me at the counter (want to order pizza), touch some; enthusiastic party emcee, see Ni.Hau (L) eating rice with onions, I'll order lasagna at the counter; parking garage with guys, don't want to move the massive power cable on the ground leading to the house; took pictures of girl (on screen, try to hide/delete), she sits down and lays her bare legs across mine, I push my face in them; he guy through window, it (?) works, see he's watching a game on TV (severe angle!); basketball: the player one-hands the shot from mid-court facing the wrong way: nails it (net barely moves);
