    1. 2015-03-12 (LD #104, TOTM basic-I & II), stakeout, accident, taxi-guy, TOTM-adventure, kiss doll

      by , 03-12-2015 at 04:36 PM
      2015-03-12

      Turns out it was a pretty epic night of dreaming. LD #104 is definitely the best of 2015
      and perhaps rivals my September 2014 TOTM LD in awesomeness.

      01:30 bedtime (WTF!? come on, 2.5 hours late)

      visualization of lotus flower w/flame in throat chakra for a while wall falling asleep

      Unknown dream times, mental only recall (no recordings until 09:13 after LD) multiple wakings up to WBTB time

      + I almost mess up a stakeout with repeated offers to give the bad guys more cash after the initial contact

      In an outdoors area with parked cars, I'm one of the good-guys in a stakeout against bad guys: I hand cash in entrapment scenario to bad guys, they take it. Comes a question should I give more: I walk forwards offering more money to the bad guys, but my colleague quickly motions/says "no" and I realize that, having already taken the initial money, if I offer more and they accept then by law the bust would be nullified.

      + (f) people in an outside park-like area with a tall tower?

      + wife drives off the edge of the highway, I go DO, the car rolls, she's OK, inside a mechanic's shop?

      Driving in car with wife (wife is at the wheel) on highways, I see that we're approaching a large turn to the left and there is no barrier off the right edge of the road, there's an abrupt drop to a long sloping hill doing down to the right. I say to wife "Careful! Look out for the edge!" Instantly the car veers and the right wheels go over the edge. I'm now DO flying behind and above the car following it as it leaves the road, heads down the hill, rolling over several times. I'm in a panic about my wife, screaming and zooming to the car to see if she's OK.

      i'm in some internal location (mechanic shop?) we're talking about (our?) car(s).

      + picking up (wife?) at airport on crowded holiday in foreign country, taxi guy gives me advice, walk with him, path turns dark and woodsy, he pees in the dark off to the side, Americans are camping up on hillside starting a campfire & I hear them practicing <foreign language> words.

      I'm heading to the airport to pick up (my wife?) It's incredibly crowded with tons of people coming and going, because this is the beginning of <this foreign country's> vacation period. I meet a taxi driver who is telling me about how to use a taxi to (fool the traffic?) to be able to approach the airport.

      We're walking down a road, it's night time, there are dark woods with leafless trees/tall shrubs off to the right, the guy goes off into the dark trees to pee, I keep walking, I wonder if he'll rejoin me or not. The road ahead is dark and uninviting going off in to the forest. I notice up the high, fairly steep hill to the left about 15 feet off someone's starting a small campfire, and I hear children's voices, they're American tourists practicing some local <foreign language> words.

      06:45 WBTB
      1x 4mg galantamine (Galantamind)
      Back to sleep
      Takes about 5x "20 down to 1" counting of relaxing breaths to fall back asleep
      Major success: focused only on relaxation, rejected thoughts of waking/work/life concerns, made it back to sleep fairly quickly! Could it be I'm finally mastering BTS?

      09:13

      + (LD #104) I'm lying in bed on my stomach [same WL position I think] with ex-GF SB. I'm looking at, modifying with my finger a picture of people we were in grad school together with, "Oh, I've erased T.A." I notice/say at one point. We're lying close to each other she's on my left, we're falling asleep, I lift my head up and kiss her right cheek near her right eye, this annoys her a bit because it wakes her up. I lift my right hand up and place it under her left cheek, this also annoys her a little. Just continuing to lie there, she drapes her right leg across my butt, it's a lightly erotic sensation, I like it a lot.

      Her foot approaches my face from the right side, bottom first. I think about "having sex with her toes" and insert my finger between her very tightly packed toes. I then notice that the entire bottom of her foot is covered in a white fungus. "Oh! You have athlete's foot just like I do! You need to scrape that stuff off with a scraping stick, and get a pedicure." I'm standing up now next to the bed and she's looking at me blankly like she doesn't want to acknowledge this. I head to the bathroom, then walk back to the bed, SB has pulled the covers up over her head. "Dang" I think, I was hoping for some sexy time, but she's going to sleep.

      I notice in her mouth is some sort of tooth tray/mouthpiece. I think this holds the teeth in the proper position for sleep. Looking again at her I notice she now has a transparent horseshoe-shaped brace supporter running down both sides of her face. I mention that this reminds me of a childhood toy, the magnetic yoyo that so fascinated me as a kid:



      All of a sudden her braces structure appears on the bed: clear plastic trays on each side, and in the middle a number of metal wire pinball-chutes with metal pinballs moving along on them. Some other object also appears suddenly on the bed (forgot).

      This jolts my awareness, and I say s.l. "OK thats odd/dreamlike" and I do a nose pinch. It's inconclusive [I'm lying on my stomach in WL perhaps, nose pinches are less clear then] I say, "OK, if I'm dreaming, I'll levitate now" and lie down on the floor of the room on my stomach. I look down and see that my upper body is hovering over the ground by about 1/2 inch. I'm now fully lucid. I stand up and whip out my (ahem), which is pleasantly dream super-sized, in order to present it to SB for attention, but she is gone, the bed is empty. I think about looking for her/summoning her, but abandon this idea quickly. I look and see the door to the room [it's like a small motel room], see the doorknob, and decide to head outside.

      I open the door and head outside, it's night outside and I'm in just my underwear. I move my attention to feel for the temperature and detect nothing, so I'm completely comfortable. I think of goals and notice that the building here is like a two-story motel in a "U" shape. Some of the rooms have open doors, I decide to enter one for TOTM basic (II).

      On my way in to the room I remember my rehearsed LD acronym: BE STRONG [Breathe, Enjoy/Engage, Stabilize, T[private, the name of my LD "mascot"], Remember, O[private], Narrate, Goals]. I start with B[reathe] and I take several breaths, perhaps the first time I've ever consciously breathed in a LD other than for nose pinch, it felt completely natural.

      I enter and open room, and it's half-lit and entirely empty: not a single piece of furniture and the walls are entirely bare, no decoration. It's sort of run-down looking. It's a small two-roomed area, a front room with a short narrow corridor leading to the back room. I enter the room and head to the back room. As I'm walking I remember "S[tabilize] and I start rubbing my hands. I really feel the warmth and rub them for a little while. In the back room, I remember "T" and briefly visualize my mascot appearing but nothing happens.

      I leave this room and outside it is now daylight, the area has opened up and there are small buildings in the distance and a gently sloping hill before me heading down and to the right. I remember TOTM basic (I) and reach into my right pocket with my right hand and feel for a capsule, I feel one and bring it out, it looks like a small white tic tac. I swallow it and call out "REVEAL TO ME THE TRUTHS OF THE UNIVERSE!" with arms upraised to the skies. I wait for a few seconds, nothing comes to me and I move on.

      As I head down the hill to the right a guy drives up in a 70's muscle car and gets out, he's sort of threatening looking. I decide to take charge of the dream narrative and call out to him in a firm, demanding voice, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY GIRL, 'GILDA'!?". He's a bit shocked and looks at me with a puzzled expression.

      There's a TV screen/painting on the ground to our left, in it are depicted 3 bad guys. (Two males, one female?). They have deteriorated/painted faces. "Man," I say, "they look terrible." I decide we must fight them, this guy and I. We dive into the TV and emerge in their place [too bad it wasn't a mirror….hmm….no, don't think it was, dangit!]. I immediately reach for my lightsabre with my left hand, and ignite it. The beam is weak/highly transparent, but I wave it around and get very accurate sound, I'm pleased with the sound. Not much of a fight, I just wave the lightsaber around a bit, things are getting vague, I decide to leave, and turn off the lightsaber.

      Leaving the building I immediately remember my long-term goal of facing Sensei in a lightsaber duel. I ignite my saber again. I start calling out "Sensei! <Sensei's name!>, come on!" I'm walking towards a garden, I hold my hand behind my back and expect to feel Sensei taking my hand, but he doesn't. I call him several times but he never appears.

      I'm marveling at the quality of the dream environment. I'm trying to detect dream-like artifacts and cannot detect any. It is an entirely convincing rendering of waking existence. The green grass on the lawn, the textures of the dirt and the ground.

      At some point in this sequence I see an open field and think of TOTM bonus, but I don't want to mess with zombies so quickly move on.

      I see beyond the grass some people on horses. The dream slowly fades to grey, I try to hold it but
      it ends.

      Back in a dream, similar woodsy environment, I see two girls sitting down on a bench, one is "Lucy" and has short dark black hair, looks boyish, but I know it's a girl. Two boys approach from the woods and say they've found <some guy's name>.

      I bit in the distance I see a (picture?) of a doll-sized girl. I'm interested and go to her. I command her to become real and to grow to real size. She becomes 3D and a bit larger, I give her a quick kiss. . Around this time I'm fully lucid & realize whas going on and I say "be larger, more real!" and she gets a bit larger and more realistic, I give her a longer kiss, but her lips are still cartoony & not waking realistic. I say again "larger! More real!" and I think she gets a bit more life-sized and realistic, I decide to stop and just make out with it/her because her lips feel good, and do so for a few seconds before waking up.

      + parking meters, ethnic banquet, cruising food table, not much food left, "my friend" recommends his ham rolls which are excellent

      Outside on a street, we're trying to figure out where to park. Parking meters line this area of the street. I look at them and you can only use them for 2 24-minute periods, this is not long enough for us.

      Inside a building there is a <ethnic> banquet. I walk along the long table, there is not a lot of food left and what is left looks not all that appetizing. Down towards the far end there are some little triangular cabbage pies that look not half bad but a middle-aged guy comes up (I "recognize"/"remember" [false memory] him), and he directs my hands to his meat rolls which I try and they are indeed quite good.

      + spying into neighbor houses with telescope, enter and see the two ladies there in the kitchen

      I'm sitting outside on the left side back steps of my childhood home. I have a small spyglass and I'm looking down the hill with it. I'm also looking left into the neighbor's house. I see a woman come to the window and don't want her to see me looking so I put down the glass. Suddenly I'm inside their kitchen and see two young blonde women sitting at a table, some adult is milling around them.

      + throw something down on to my friend MR who's sleeping down in the garden in the dark [he signals me?], woman asks me to teach her son soccer, I decline and want to go back to sleep

      I'm on some high balcony, several levels down below me on the back lawn my friend MR is sleeping in a sleeping bag. I can't see him well, it's too dark/foggy. I think at one point he's moved to the left. I throw something down as a prank to land on top of him (a small pebble). I'm looking and looking to try to see him but don't. At one point I think I see two small lights (like animal eyes reflecting in the dark) but I'm not sure.

      A mother comes to me with a small blonde curly-haired young boy and wants me to train him in soccer. I don't want to. I say come back later and roll over in bed.

      +(f) more people, places, situations….forgot

    2. 2015-03-11 DV members (Dreamer, sivason), ignore RCs, swim race, gas station, laser tag at park

      by , 03-11-2015 at 10:25 AM
      2015-03-11

      01:00 bedtime: again super late

      06:00 (a bit earlier)

      + touring a 23-hour gas station, in cafeteria line for food, go back for pot stickers

      I'm with a friend (who wants to/will start work here) at a big, 23-hour gas station. 23 hours because they close for one hour a day for maintenance. I'm explaining that there are three shifts of work here, and that that's good because it lets them put the employees where the demand is highest. Pass a tall counter (circular?) of cash registers, we get into a food cafeteria line. Friend in front of me is pulling along my tray, I see that I've passed a container of pot stickers, so I go back and scoop a bunch out on to my plate, they're covered with a fine green herb like dried dill.

      + swim competition huge pool (lower level of park?), holding on net & false starts, backstroke, flip turns, running up and down steps, (get poop on hands?), lap counting is wrong, I'm doing well in race

      In a large pool (the lower level of the park? Wide open area) at the beginning of a swimming race. The swimmers hold on to a net with one hand and stretch out as far as they can into the pool waiting for the starting signal. There are several false starts with swimmers jumping the gun, but not me, I'm waiting for the proper signal. Some official says not to stretch the net so far. Race begins and I'm doing backstroke, I started well, I'm ahead of everyone, but I see they're doing front freestyle so I switch to freestyle. I'm approaching the wall at the far end and other swimmers are bunching up there in my way, I'm preparing to do an awesome flip turn.

      I'm running up and down stairs outside, but I'm "still swimming" (?), counting laps, someone points out or I think that I'm counting improperly, I somehow get a small piece of poop on my hands?

      + travelling, missing ladder, rain/storm, meet ~Dreamer~ + her friend in town to lead to house, do "joke" RCs (indicates dream! dangit!), sivason's at house, house crowded with groups, weather change, woman complains that a bee got into her stuff

      I'm traveling somewhere, I think my vehicle's gas gauge is a bit low bit I should still make it, I'm in some indoor large utility cabinet and I need to get to the higher level to exit and continue my journey, but how will I get to the higher level? I'm looking for a ladder that must be there but I don't see it. I'm concerned about traveling because the weather is really dark, rainy, and stormy.

      I'm going to the big giant meeting house, and I'm meeting ~Dreamer~ there! I go to town first because I know she doesn't know the way so I'll have to lead her. I go up to a couple I know to be Dreamer and her male friend, I know it's them because they're asking directions to the house (and they look/sound Austrailian?). I smile as I approach them and put my hands out in front of me "to do a RC" (my hands are slightly deformed but I ignore it!) to introduce myself as a lucid dreaming friend. I also do a nose pinch (and I can breathe!) but I keep re-pinching my nose and readjusting my hand because since I can breathe I must have done it improperly and not closed it completely. I continue to be able to breath but I finally explain "Oh, that's so unreliable anyway." I shake hands with her male friend and see either his or my hand: the hand is a large deformed gnarled lumpy thing with small stumpy fingers jutting out. I ignore this too.

      I'm leading them to my house, Dreamer is blonde and in a red top, I'm happy we've met, I think she's pretty

      I tell them "sivason's already at the house," I think about him: I think he's a thin man with a grizzled/unshaved look with white hair.

      We arrive at the house and I want to get Dreamer and friend put in their rooms right away because there are so many people here. Many different groups are seated/milling around inside. I hope there are still rooms available. One woman in a long line of people is complaining that someone went through her stuff, she says "I think it was a bee!" I see a cabinet with her things pulled out from the wall.

      + team laser tag at park, Christmas day, my wife&kids stay with me, I need to go to hardware store to get table, just need circular saws, awesome unfolding dining table

      I'm at the middle level of the park, night-time, hiding in a concrete pipe tunnel piece (from the top level), I see a group from the other team walking out in the open, I fire at them with my laser waving it back and forth across them. My son S2 and his girlfriend are there. I need to go get a table from the hardware store, it's Christmas day, I'm there with my wife and sons. I will get tools (cylindrical saws that rotate on their axis and have a full-circle cutting surface) to make just what I want. Some people are unfolding an awesome expandable rectangular dining table that just keeps getting bigger and bigger with every unfold movement, they say "you need a table like this."

      WBTB, later:

      07:30-08:00 BTS

      11:30

      + at restaurant with friends we left w/out paying, my coat is still there, how to get it?

      There was some commotion or delay or we were unhappy with the meal so we just left. Later I realized we'd left without paying. I left my coat there, will I be able to go back for it?

      +(f) something about groups of kids

    4. 2015-03-09 (semi-lucid) epic (flying/fighting), late weird sexy-contact moments

      by , 03-09-2015 at 11:45 AM
      fair amount of early recall, didn't record, most lost except:

      +(f) riding with IrMa, she's driving, I put my hand on her leg, she wants to take the route on the coast that will rejoin the main highway farther to the south; (she enters my house and we kiss?)

      (semi-lucid) epic: reveal my ability to fly to colleague MWP, he's critical ("that's illegal!"), I fly away, he follows flying, land at bottom of hill among HUGE university buildings, fight against guy with bow (block with magical transparent shield), drink the girl's beer, car ride: see hot college students partying, discuss education, play a card game while driving uphill

      I'm thinking about flying (am flying for a bit?). I see buildings down the hill, one tall one on my left looks a bit pixelated, and I wonder about the brain's ability to fill in large amounts of detail.

      I'm conversing with my colleague MWP the subject is people who can fly. He mentions that there are only 3 or 4 people in the world who can do that. The subject drifts, but I bring it back, say "I really want to hear your experience on this subject." I decide to reveal myself, we're in my childhood home bedroom and I step backwards out of the window and hover there in the air, and make a "ta-da!" gesture with my arms. I float back inside the room. MWP is not happy about this, he starts says s.l. nobody should do that, I mention other powers and he says "That's Illegal!". I'm really starting to regret revealing my powers to him, and I swear to myself that I will never, ever reveal them to anybody else ever again. I turn to fly down the hill to the city and call over my shoulder "I need to run some errands" and proceed to glide/fly down the hill. I look over my shoulder at one point and see MWP flying there! Ah ha, so he can fly, too!

      I'm approaching the University area and I see really really tall buildings there, I think about how I always lose altitude when I fly and land on the ground among big trees, there's a street ahead and I plan to make my way there.

      I'm inside a building and MWP(?) and another guy is there to fight me, the guy has a bow and arrow, I at first approach and engage him hand to hand, I try to wrench the bow from his grasp but stop at some point and step back and prepare to block. I think of summoning a semi-translucent magical shield. The guy gets ready to shoot, I summon the shield as an extension of my extended right hand (my right arm is extended out in front of me to block), and the arrow goes "THUNK" harmlessly into the shield on the other side of my hand. In a blindingly fast movement I pull out the arrow, and toss it back at the shooter, and it punctures his face high on his right cheek near his right eye (I think this was an *awesome* maneuver, it may go down in the record books).

      He prepares to shoot again and this time I think of getting fancy/cocky, I summon a small circular shield only about the diameter of a tea saucer, but he doesn't get the chance to shoot again, I'm engaging him at close range with some sort of precision cutting device that cuts through objects as if they were air, no resistance. I wave the thing quickly back and forth all over him and a transparent shield, cutting him to ribbons.

      There's some girl (administrator?) who leaves her beer on the table, (we?) go and drink it, we're driving to that place through narrow streets with tall concrete walls on each side, the girl reappears and asks who drank her beer.

      In a car I'm in the front passenger's seat, (MWP?) is driving, there's a guy my age in the back seat and another younger male. I'm looking out the window at a scene through a large window on the 2nd/3rd floor of a building across the street, it's night/dark out. Inside there are young men and women, college-aged, all the guys are buff and shirtless and the girls are hot and in bikinis. As we pass driving by I look back at the scene and see a hot girl in a yellow bikini rubbing herself all over a guy. I say "why couldn't *I* have hot girls all over me when I was in college?" I look at the guy behind me and we both answer simultaneously: "because in college I was busy getting *an education*." I then say "yeah, those guys will be pushing mops in the future." The guy behind me says "I was in engineering," I answer "so was I [and think of my specialty but don't say it", he says "I specialized in low-cost DRAM systems" (and the implication is that he's raking in the bucks now).

      We're going uphill and playing a card game. The driver picks a card with vague drawings and wording on it, it's a car that let's you change the game from 2 to 4 decks of cards, the guy in the back says "oh don't play that" (he doesn't want a 4-deck game), but the driver does want it and plays it. I say to the guy in the back "you have to accept it" and then I pick up the same guard from the stock, and say "…except if you get that card again" (and can switch the game back to a 2-deck game).

      long time awake:
      late:

      + sexy time moments with (imaginary?) girl parts, strange simultaneous boy/girl "parts"; at the zoo/park with wife, see JHS GF KS (she's not looking good), walk on path, see animals to right, think about how to survive a godzilla-like attack

      I'm lying on my back in a bed in my sister's room in my childhood home.
      Spoiler for explicit:
      , I realize this is all imaginary [but it feels completely realistic], and I wonder if my son walked in on me right now, what would he see? Would he see me moving my hands in the air with nothing actually there?
      Spoiler for exclicit, weird:
      My wife says s.l. "my husband is a real man!"

      I'm standing with a bunch of people outside a zoo/park. I see my JHS-GF, KS, there: she doesn't look good. Her chin is weak, she has a lot of acne. Her lips are quite red, and her hair is as I remembered it, very blonde. My son S2 is standing in a group there. I walk forwards, I know my wife is with me and I hope she doesn't want to stop for a brick of candy popcorn.

      We're walking down a path in the zoo, I look to the left and see a bunch of small animals in a display there: chickens, monkeys. I think "the animals are particularly calm today." At the end of the path there is a very tall hill leading up, sort of a steep sharp-cornered ravine with lots of wet black earth/mud. I think if a giant trex/godzilla thing (hundreds of feet high with huge feet that can crush a person) were to come where would be a good place to avoid it. Standing at the foot of this hill may be good because the monster would think the footing to be unstable and so wouldn't step there.

      I climb up some steps and think "should you run? They say that they sense motion so you shouldn't," but I imagine if standing still they move lower their head and see you with their eyes. Climbing the hill someone has put a giant rusty dumpster in the way blocking the stairs.

      + the young men/women in white lab coats get in my way to apply the tool to the object, one girl pushes up against me and brief <sexy contact> ensues; with S1 and S2 in hallway, discussing the artifact in the room, where's the key? get the key, enter basement, find the "lost" set of keys

      There's some object attached to something that needs to be removed with a tool like a large socket wrench. I know how to do it easily and try to step forwards to do it but young people in white lab coats keep getting in my way. There's a young man to the right, and a young woman who gets in front of me and is really working hard and applying a lot of force, I think that's too much work you need to just use the leverage. Another girl gets in front of me and is also using a tremendous amount of effort to the tool, I think I should grab her shoulders and help but I don't. She then sort of moves backwards pushing her body up against me and my back is to the wall.
      Spoiler for explicit:


      I'm standing in a hallway with S1 and S2. There's a room to the right with some artifact(s) there that I want. S1 and S2 are discussing where the key is. I ask they to get the key repeatedly. S1 says that the woman removed the thing already. I get the key and enter the room.

      Then I'm walking down the steps to the basement of my childhood home, my wife is in the large room to the right at the bottom of the stairs. I reach for the keys in my left pocket of the gray soft windbreaker I'm wearing and find another larger bunch of keys, I bring them out and look at them, I "recognize" them [false memory] as the missing set of keys to our cabin, I say so and my wife responds something about the keys.

      early:

      04:50

      + CS got fired because he broke the build with a one-character change (an exclamation point) during a critical demo; I'm making myself breakfast in the open kitchen (ice cream/Cheerios, tall guys)

      I'm walking through an open area/office, I encounter CS. He asks me if I've heard that he got fired (by the CEO) after he made a one-character change (adding an exclamation point to the code) (I'm thinking about this a long time after waking up, about how CS should have done proper testing before submitting his change!).



      I'm in a kitchen, looking for breakfast. I open the freezer and see a number of open ("freezer burn, yuck") very colorful ice cream containers. Across the room a very tall [DS] guy drops a box of Cheerios on the ground. I pick it up(?), pour myself a bowl.

      later:
      (Awake until around 08:00?, just can't sleep, take 1mg melatonin around 6am)

      09:10

      + (LD #102) dazzlingly vivid/bright huge (5-6 stories, 100 meters long) memorial structure: trying to read the huge inscription so I can remember it when I wake up; fly up to top of structure, cement french fries; sex with giggling/slightly objecting girl "there are not nice people here"

      I'm outside, daylight, the visual quality is astounding and my memory begins already lucid. There are lots of people milling around. To the left is an enormous open area, and I see there a Huuuuuuge memorial structure, about 5-6 stories high, 100 meters long, with Huuuuge lettering on it. I try to read it and pronounce it and really really study the lettering so I can remember it after waking: it is stable, but it doesn't seem to be recognizable words. There is a larger first line and a smaller-font second line below it. I'm astounded at the clarity of the structure, it is perhaps slightly orange and made of stone.

      I fly up to the edge of the roof of this structure. I want to summon a girl(?), I get in my hands instead a cup of what seem to be cement french fries. I start sucking them a little bit. I see a girl to my right a bit, I go to her/bring her to me, and
      Spoiler for explicit:


      + (LD #103) (long, lucid at end) See "people I know" in family room [false memory], trying to decide whether to take a shower with a girl upstairs, go downstairs and leave (think about threatening to kill the guys who will tell on me) to garden, at end of garden start flying & get lucid, magical blue sky, green grass, apple tree, return through neighbor's garden to original garden, it's raining hard now, wake up.

      I'm walking through (my?) family room, a downstairs room, and see leaning against the wall a man whom I recognize [false memory] as a friend of mine, I walk a bit farther and see a woman I know to be his wife also sitting down against the wall, "Relax, guys, rest!" I say. I walk back the other way to the start of the room and see a third man whom I recognize as a colleague (of the first man?) and also greet him.

      I walk up a (spiral?) staircase and I'm on an upper floor. There is a glass shower stall there and there's a girl taking a shower who wants me to join her. I see a young man lying in a bed near the shower and sort of recognize his fall (its distorted). All of a sudden there are about 20 guys milling around and I want to get them all the heck out of here so I can join the girl in the shower. I manage to shoo them all down the stairs. I then take off my shirt and slacks (I'm in dress clothing), and am about to enter the shower (the girl in there is clothed?) and realize that at any second my wife could walk in, this is way too risky, so I get dressed again. I go up to the shower and say "well I can wash your back I guess," (I'm concerned I may get wet), and she says "buuuut I waaaaant to *seeeee* yoouuuuu!" (so I think about getting undressed again?) at some point she's out of the shower and we kiss briefly and there's some sudden transition/shock.

      I'm walking down the spiral staircase, at the bottom I hear the guy I saw on the bed by the shower gossiping to another guy that he saw me with the shower girl, and I think about going up and telling them I'll kill them if they talk. I say "Let's go!" (I want to get out of there fast).

      I'm walking through the garden, there are lots of objects there, I must walk over them. At the far end of the garden is a lovely place, green grass, a small barn/large shed, trees, blue sky, and I decide I want to try flying just a bit, and I put out my arms and to my amazement I glide/hover above the ground and realize I'm dreaming. I do a nose pinch and I can breathe. The garden area is *beautiful* the colors are vibrant. I see a stunning apple tree with green green leaves and red red apples, amazing against a blue sky.

      I start returning to the original garden. There is now a large neighbor's yard in the way. I'm thinking of girls. I see that there is a celebration in the garden, there is a line of "hoops" on my side and a guy is making a running/sommersaulting dunk (basketball) move. I see that the women are middle-aged/portly/unattractive (in the distance). I decide I should just go back to the original garden because there are a lot of people there. I walk through this neighbor garden and apologize for the disturbance, and say it's too far to go around, they say that's fine. There's a guy swinging a bat at a ball and he says careful or he may hit my head.

      I move through a fence into the original garden and someone from the neighbor group comes with me on my right. There are tents here in a covered area, and he puts his foot through a canvas tent, ripping a small hole in it. I say "be careful of their tents!". I see that it is raining very hard now, and say in a foreign language "this started suddenly", and I am lifting up tents to get through
      and the dream ends.

      10:30

      I think I slept again, but no recall

    6. 2015-03-04 pinball, childhood home painter/storm ("OMG! OMG!")

      by , 03-05-2015 at 09:06 AM
      slowly crawling back...middle recall faint, late pretty good, but missed a major WTF moment

      + driving through the city. Walking past a strip mall, I see an open pizza shop and I want to go in. I see my son S2 there but don't want him to see me [DS], he's leaving the restaurant with his college group, I'm watching them walk by through the glass walls of the strip mall stores positioned in between us, I think they'll be heading to a Range Rover or some other fancy car. I'm in a car parking or observing someone park, the spots are small and I think the best one is the one on the corner since it will be easier to get out if other cars park too closely.

      +(f) kissing ex-GF on head, ask if she's still playing T

      I'm lying on the ground next to my ex-GF DB, I roll over to her and kiss her on the top of her head and ask if the's still playing the T. She says only once in a while, I respond that I can't imagine not playing, I need always to play.

      +(f) congress(?), theater(?), lightning(?)

      + playing then repairing /messing with a pinball game

      I'm standing playing a pinball game. My attention is focused on the flippers, and the ball which is repeatedly falling to the flippers and I'm repeatedly trying to hit it forcefully back up into the game. The ball is always almost falling between the flippers, so each time I have to do the "1-2" fast sequence of hitting one flipper then the next one in rapid succession. Finally the right flipper comes entirely off of its post and so the game is broken. I'm standing there waiting for the maintenance guy to walk by so I can get his attention to fix the thing. Eventually I just take the top glass cover off and start messing with the game myself, there is a scoring basket in the right corner near my right hand, and I drop 3 small balls in there one after the other, on the 2nd ball something turns red. I then expect to be in a super-extra scoring mode but I don't see the big scoring results that I expect.

      I step back a bit from the machine and look at it, it's a car-racing themed machine with a name (forgot), and I see the orange-led-light screen with writing on it.

      + giving financial advice to a girl behind on her payments to artist(s)

      I'm standing in a room with a bunch of people in a room. A girl enters and I call her to me so that I can give her my professional financial advice. She goes to the couch and sits down there instead. I go to her and say "What great service, I'm coming to you", I sit next to her and she's facing away from me but turns to face me eventually. I'm telling her about her payments and how she needs to use her income to make the payments to the artist(s) or she'll get way behind on them.

      + painter guy on deck of parent's house, I have to leave, call him back, examine can of paint and paint names in detail, day becomes night because of massive black storm clouds covering sky ("Oh my God," "Oh my God!")

      I'm standing in my childhood home dining room against the wall by the glass door looking out through the curtains on to the deck, there is a worker there dressed in an orange hoodie, I don't want him to see me [DS]. He leaves and I go out and call him back. He says he is here to paint "100 acres" of space on the side of our house. I'm holding a small can of paint that is in the model of our house, with the names of the paint colors painted in representative locations: the eaves under the roof, the upper section, the lower section, I'm reading these names, they're all slight variations of a deep green/grey color, all the names are from the same series of colors. The guy shows he's familiar with these names, these are standard paint names so he'll be able to find/use the right ones.

      I notice that all of a sudden it's extremely dark out on the deck. It's as dark as night almost, I'm going to have to turn on a light inside the house so that he can see. I go out on the deck and look up around the corner to the right into the sky: there are heavy, very dark clouds there , I think this is practically tornado weather [which don't exist in this area], I expect to see a funnel cloud, I see some whisps of cloud in an almost vague funnel shape but no tornado. It's still really dramatic and I say "Oh my God! Oh my God!".

      I do not want to wait around for him to finish, since I have to go, but if I don't wait then maybe he'll just leave and not finish the job.

    7. 2015-03-03 late bedtime messes up dreaming, rare fishing dream, gory fight, guy gets laid

      by , 03-03-2015 at 11:33 AM
      I have GOT to stop going to bed late. This time around 2am (11pm is my target, rarely make it). Going to bed late almost always results in terrible dreaming…. this is the achilles heel of my practice.

      rescued from the horrors of a no-recall night (is there anything worse?) in late morning:

      +(f) ex-GF SB's having problems with her thesis math

      +(f) walking backwards, firing an automatic machine gun over the shoulder

      + observing a knife-throwing robot practicing/learning; plan for the attack with friends, I sneak up on the munitions store in full fatigues in between cars, fight with enemy, asked to help on other side of building

      I'm in a garage-like room. A small robot is practicing knife throwing against a target from a short distance away. It is hitting the target reliably. Then it switches up throwing styles to a simple jab forwards (no spin of the knife), misses a few times, then stats hitting reliably. Then it tries underhanded throwing and is quite poor, mostly missing. I think that this small robot holding a large sharp knife is very dangerous and I don't want to walk close to it for fear of it slicing my calves deeply.

      Standing outside talking with team, I suggest taking the munitions room, but they're concerned about leading the enemies to it and losing control of it.

      I'm making my way to the munitions room, I'm in full military gear, I'm crouching down and quickly moving between aisles of parked cars. One car is full of people looking at me. I move past the cars and onto a sidewalk with a low wall, in back of me I see an enemy, I try crouching down low behind the wall and he walks past but he then seems me and we fight.

      I initially fire a pistol but the rounds are very loose and I have to catch them in my hands to prevent them from falling out of the pistol to the ground. I fire (at his temple at point blank range?) but he's not hurt. Switching to a knife I swipe him solidly across the throat but he has only a small scratch there, again, and similar result, barely a scratch when he should be bleeding out. I think that if I plunge the tip of the blade into his jugular that surely will do it but I'm getting really squeamish at this point and don't want to do it. Someone says use a bow?

      (See a hairdresser's salon next to me?) I'm standing near the munitions room. There's some man making a twisting gesture (like an "indian burn") with a pipe in his hands, he wants me to come to the other side of the building and help him. I'm suspicious that it's a trap.

      I move farther away to an exit, I need to put on shoes, there are only small sneakers here that are full of sand, I empty out the sand. Some kids come up behind me?

      + young people (is my son cheating on his GF?) screwing in next room, they're my son's friends visiting, chat a bit downstairs with them.

      FA: I awake in bed in my childhood home bedroom to the sound of someone grunting/screaming in the next room. I'm concerned, I get up and go out to the hallway and open the door of my sister's bedroom. On the far wall are I see a young woman sitting on top of somebody (presumably a young man) on a chair with a blanket draped around them, I can only see her shoulders and head. I think for a minute she's my niece. Then I think the boy may be my son and he's cheating on his GF because I don't know the girl.

      I go down the stairs and the young man who just got laid has a huge ear-to-ear grin on his face and is making fist-pumping victory gestures. I see the girl clearly now and I do not know her, I think she's from my son's class at University. Sitting around in a group in the living room talking with the girls, talking about things. (The subject changes to my penis? I assure the girls that yes, it works quite well…?)

      + fishing [rare!], almost topple of out boat as I get in, feel and see large fish in water, then see HUGE (15-20 foot) catfish lazily swimming on top of the water

      (I almost never have dreams of being in or around water despite swimming regularly in waking life). (I've also barely ever gone fishing in my life so this is weird).

      I'm shoving off from the shore with my face to the shore in a small row boat. I'm trying to sit down without capsizing, as I sit down the boat lists dangerously far to the right (starboard!) and I fear I'll topple into the water for a second, but the boat rights itself and I get settled and start rowing. The boat is quite small and the water is very green and opaque. Did I bring the tackle box? After rowing a short while I feel something touch my left hand in the water, and I look down and now the water is very clear and transparent, and I see that a large (trout?) has just swum by me, it has an odd, disfigured tail like a stump of bamboo, I think of going after it to catch it and follow it. Then I see a *huge* catfish (15-20 feet long) floating calmly on top of the water. Would would I do if I hooked it, could I call for help to catch it? Would I be able to eat it? As I approach it senses me and it swims away.

    8. 2015-03-02 food food food, missed-semi-lucid "I'm dreaming" I told girl

      by , 03-02-2015 at 11:48 AM
      bedtime 00:00
      2mg melatonin
      remee on

      + a young arrogant manager is haranguing my father that he needs to update his skills, I'm listening, I feel sorry for my dad I'm trying to stand so they can't see me, I offer my dad to play some pick-up basketball to make him feel better [we've never played basketball together that I can remember], someone throws a basketball hard at another guy and hits him smack in the head

      + observing as a "playa" picks up a girl, he says "baby you so fine, what I gotta do to get in yo pants!?" he takes her to room in a building, where there are animatronic people, young men and women, they sit down at a table, and he needs to decide which ones to keep in the room and which to kick out

      + building and operating some game cabinet with (simulated?) guns, it's incredibly fun like playing an amazing video game, I'm swiveling all over the place shooting things like crazy, I notice from through a door Elijah Wood is observing me. Outdoors, I fly by a giant being of some sort. Standing on the ground in bright daylight in the street , talking animatedly and excitedly about Star Wars with people, and can't remember Harrison Ford's name, I try to remember it for a while

      + crazy tennis: I'm observing a tennis game in some club on a mini-court, I pick up a tennis ball with a quarter embedded in it (under the fuzz), I pull it out and the ball goes completely flat. I pick up another ball that has a hole in it and is flat. I see a container of balls from the group that was just playing but there gone now, I step on to the court, I'm playing against and older woman. I try to bounce-serve the ball but there is a really low net (6 feet) over the whole court that gets in the way, I try a few more times. Then I"m sort of wrestling (standing up) with the woman over position: the point of our game is to shepherd some large blobby jello-y transparent thing on the ground into a goal, the advantage goes back and forth between us for a while.

      broken WBTB
      eventually BTS

      + walk past woman, whisper "I'm Dreaming!" into her ear and walk on (ARGH!), I feel entirely and totally awake, she calls after me something like "Good for you!" (not sure of wording); riding on train, see kitschy old fast food store fronts passing us on the left, I think they're in amazingly good shape for being so old, sort of dark faded colors. The train stops at a restaurant, I'm there with my kids to order food, there is a bunch of food including a chocolate cake on display on tables in front of the store. I'm trying to enter the store together with my kids but a man gets in my way, we eventually enter and I see that the restaurant is not operating, they're just accepting orders at this time, I sit down with my kids to place an order

      + I'm standing on a street corner in a foreign country with 3 native guys, they're making disparaging remarks about tourists/foreigners, I plan to give foreign-language retorts to each of them. I think they could become threatening to me at any moment. A woman comes to stand in the group. I look behind me and notice the pedestrian walk signal on the crossing is green for me, so I take the opportunity to get away from the guys and hurry across the street.

      On the other side up the street a bit (this seems to be the N area of B at E and H streets), I enter a restaurant. I'm looking at the dishes of food displayed on steam trays, it looks really good. I hear someone calling my name, and look back into the restaurant, unsure, they call again and I see a table of 3 guys I don't know gesturing to me, I go and sit with them. One of them claims to be a guy I know, he mentions his face being different? I don't recognize them still but I do get a good look at his face, he's about my age.

      + I return to this restaurant later, and manager at cash register says I can choose an already-prepared dish at a discount, or order a new one at full price, there are a few plates of food on the counter at the register, and I see really good looking dishes (cheese lasagna?, super juicy and cheesy and saucy) at the steam tables.

      + I'm at a table in a restaurant with friends our order hasn't arrived, I leave to get some things; in a different place I watch a young man prepare batches of skewers of meat in a special device, I put a few skewers on the grill to cook(?) a bit farther in, I'm picking up bottles of mayonnaise and drinks, return to the friends with the shopping cart, pick up some drinks and juggle them in my arms as I rejoin my friends at the table, I see that the food has already come and they finished eating already, they ate my order leaving me the wrong one. I see one of my friends hasn't finished a really good looking ground-beef burrito in red sauce so I pick the whole thing up and stuff it in my mouth. Friends are saying that they should leave me 2 orders worth of food since I had ordered two things.

    9. 2015-03-01 observing architecture, flying from parents' room's balcony

      by , 03-01-2015 at 07:55 PM
      +(f) doing something with somebody somewhere (hah!) just….couldn't…recall

      + observing and pointing out interesting architecture on a bus ride "they don't make them like that any more!", crazy architect building; I write a fake review/article, then rewrite it with a real quote from a source

      I'm riding in a (bus?), looking at a very interesting building to the left, tall, probably 30-40 stories, with a number of multi-floor ornamental "shaped" areas, with large (golden?) ornamental structures built on to it. There is a much more narrow tower immediately to the right of the building. The tower has a large open "belfry" structure. I point out this building "Hey look at that building to the left".

      To the right, up towards the hills, is a glimpse of the "crazy architecture building" built by those wacky university architects.

      + (semi?) childhood home: turn down the lights in my room, go flying from parents' balcony

      I'm in my room in my childhood home, I'm at the window, I realize the lights in the room are not fully turned up to I look to the light switch on the wall, see the rheostat round dial [false memory my room had a simple on/off switch], move to it and turn it up the rest of the way.

      I want to go flying, I leave my room & walk down the hallway to my parent's bedroom and enter, all lights are off and it's pretty dark in there. I see some objects on the floor. I go to the door to the balcony and things get vague here, I seem a bit trapped/blocked by the curtain, I have some weird thoughts(?), but I eventually make it through to the balcony outside . To the right is a view in the distance of a bay of water with ships in it, it's dark twilight. I hear the voice of my mother to the left, down on the house's main deck, and I also hear my father's voice coming from inside the room (or approaching it). "Great," I think, I don't want them to see me flying, my opportunity may be ruined. I make a short movement towards re-entering the house but decide in a flash, "screw it, I want to fly!". So I take a quick leap into the air (I have a moment's thought about falling), and I fly/swoop down the hill, fairly low to the ground (about 6-10 feet off the ground).

      As I pass the far corner of our property I hear my mother's voice back from the house saying "oh, look, there's a deer running through the front yard" (I think she has caught a glimpse of me flying and has misinterpreted it as spotting a deer). I continue flying, it is daytime, and I'm flying/gliding fairly low (6 feet-12 feet) above the ground. I'm flying through gardens with colorful large flowers like trumpet vines. I pass over some unknown woman in her garden, I think she'll see me for sure but she does not react. I continue hearing some commentary on my flight from my mother.

    10. 2015-02-27 sleepus interruptus, 3/4 epic based around ex-girlfriend

      by , 02-27-2015 at 03:10 PM
      earlier recall clobbered by later epic, broken sleep [wife came to bed ultra late, yeah, thinking that 3am is a great time to start shuffling the pillows around, she can't find her pillows so she grabs one of mine, when I object she starts a big thing about she has no pillows, I get woken up and pissed, lie awake for like 2 hours, fuming . Her pillows were just under the blankets]

      Really upset that a great night of dreaming is messed with. I had remee (4.5 hours WBTB planned), instead I woke around 3 hrs and stayed awake until the remee went off and I just took it off. No recall from that period.

      Falling asleep, at one point I felt vibrations building, I "egged them on" to build higher, got too aware and excited about a WILD and they subsided without a dream forming.

      Had a waking after that with recall, did not record, and lost the memories, clobbered by subsequent sleep cycles and a fairly epic dream sequence:

      +(f) I see SB (older) sitting at table trying to hide her cleavage, I smirk at this, I tell her "you belong at M company, when are you returning?"

      ex-GF (SB) extravaganza:

      + (medium-)epic: standing with SB and her parents, are we broken up or are we together now?; in bed with SB: roll around, fall to floor, woohoo this means we're going to have sex, we start; go get flowers to celebrate night's sex [the florists are all gangsters, 30 minutes away], close inspection of flowers, one in particular (wilted? brown? jaguar spots?); leave house, outdoor interlude: riding motorcycles with 2 guys; girls' skeleton underwater in a shallow cage (eaten by piranhas/drowned), finger bones waving in the current; daytime memorial service ("do you belong?" I want to leave and finally find an excuse); grab a cookie on the go; re-enter house (it was against the rules?); running quickly through rooms, jumping over furniture, loops repeatedly; skateboard competition on stairs; some guy trying to fix a glass (chess set?) with a blowtorch to melt the glass and re-attach the piece; SB cooks me a happy birthday (pizza? cake?); give gift of huge wheel of cheese to SB's mother, who LOVES it and goes nuts about it, she's surrounded by piles and piles of cheese and shredded cheese flies through the air

      I'm standing outside with ex-GF SB and her parents. I feel uncomfortable because I do not know if they realize yet that we've broken up. I start to think maybe we're getting back together. I go stand with my arm around SB talking to her parents.

      I'm in bed with SB, at some point either she quickly rolls over and kisses me or I do the same, then we start "wrestling" in the bed and end up rolling off the bed onto the carpeted floor. I think this means we're going to have sex, I see the door to the room is open, so I walk to it and close it, and turn back to the bed. I see SB lying on her back legs in the air taking off her panties. Woohoo I get in the bed on top of her, put my arms around and under her in a close embrace, and … I wake up half way? I'm moving my hips and trying to feel the sensation and I feel it a bit but I think I'm moving my hips in waking life…fall back asleep…

      In the morning I want to celebrate our reunion sex and want to go get flowers. There is a discussion about where the florists are (a 30 minute drive?) but that they're all gangsters. I'm at a florist and I see a man carefully picking and inspecting flowers: I think it's more important to his business that he make the customers happy with choosing the best flowers in the best shape. I look at one flower close up, it is short of a large tulip-shaped bulb, multicolored, with multiple layers of petals. I'm looking at the petals down inside and trying to determine if the core of the flower is rotten or not. There's some dark-haired (greek?) man there, I'm inspecting the flower and I see and comment on the "jaguar spots".

      I leave the house and go outside, I'm riding motorcycles with 2 other guys, I'm following them, the place is rolling suburban hills, it's twilight, they're hitting things like curbs and manhole covers and I hear the suspension on the bikes clunking as they do so. I'm rotating the grip to increase the throttle (on the left hand? wrong!). At one point I say "OK guys lead the way to the jumps place", there is some place where there are paths and jumps for motorcycle riding, but I say I don't want to ruin my rims, and I look down and gesture at my wheels, which look like aluminum rims with thick solid "spokes" instead of "bicycle spokes," They mention that the wheel need the protection of some numerical level (8?), and that you have to apply some goop to the tires so that you basically glue the tires to the rim all around the edge. I wonder if some people fill their tires entirely with solid glue instead of air.

      Outside, twilight lighting, I see an underwater area, a long low cage on the ground underwater, and I see lots of jagged things sticking up through the holes in the cage, waving in the current of the water back and forth. It turns out those are the skeletons of girls who were either eaten by pirhanas or drowned there.

      Outside daylight, in a sort of corral, people are gathered for a memorial service (for the girls?), there's a big fat Hawaiian looking guy who's running the service, he looks skeptically at me and asks if I have any reason to be there, I mumble something and stay there, but I want to get away this is taking a long time, but I can't just leave since I'm standing in front, eventually there is a break in the service and I do take off.

      At some point I'm walking past a table with plates of cookies on them, I pick up one and eat it as I continue, they're sort of frilly/flakey on the edges.

      I'm back in the house (we're not supposed to be back in there yet?), and I'm running through rooms in the house, jumping over couches, turning corners quickly, and I keep doing this over and over in a loop, I think I'm getting to know this house really well.

      There's a skateboard competition on the stairs, a bunch of guys are sliding down the stairs on skateboards without wheels.

      Some guys are trying to reattach a piece (of glass?) so some glass thing (chess set? sculpture?), it's not sticking, and one guy brings a torch to melt the glass which gets soft, and the piece then sticks in, and then he needs to heat the outside (?) of the thing so that the center will get cold again and "set" properly (?).

      SB cooks me a Happy Birthday something (pizza, cake?)

      Still in the kitchen I'm carrying an ENORMOUS (like car-tire-sized) half-wheel of cheese and give it to SB's mother. She's ecstatic about this cheese. I see her standing surrounded by cheese, breaking off pieces, running it through some sort of automatic cheese grater/slicer and cheese is flying everywhere.

    11. 2015-02-25 (LD #101) epic adventure, friends & family, weird buildings, caught FA (bed eject)

      by , 02-25-2015 at 01:52 PM
      24-min focus on breathing meditation during the evening
      bedtime: 20 breaths, followed probably by at least 30 minute intention setting, visualization, dream sign review, and pep-talk before bed. Hard to sleep, I'm so worked up. Take 2mg melatonin

      I'm pretty sure I had earlier dreams before the epic, but the epic clobbered them

      + epic futuristic adventure: tram ride, guy takes my seat; real virtual reality system with 2 friends; "the meadows": floating castle in the sky is closing down for security alarm; poison attack, can I drink from this glass?; blasting bed with bazooka; DeForest Kelley acting presentation, he's doing a great job for such an old guy; dinner with the president: 2-foot long juicy BBQ beef sandwiches, large pitcher of fresh fig juice [how long did that take to squeeze!?]; heading towards "The Meadows", travel agency "cream colored cubic building in a fancy mall", attacked by thugs; conflict outside of building: the elders have "saved" aside us young people from the battle in order to rebuild the empire later

      (The order of the scenes may be somewhat jumbled, there were so many)

      tram: I'm riding a tram/train (to "the Meadows?"), it stops and the doors open, and voice says we must disembark and get back on. I do this, and when I return there's a guy/guys sitting in my seat. I'm confused, I'm looking at the seats relative to the door to see which one was mine. A bit frustrated I plop down in a free seat with an audible, annoyed "Humph!". A guy offers me the seat back, I say it doesn't matter.

      real virtual reality: I sit down into a large "captains chair" (like Star trek), in a large room I'm with 2 friends, they're also sitting in identical chairs, both to my right, one a few feet away one about 15 feet away. I see that the system is engaging: VR masks/goggles are closing on my friend's faces. I sit in my chair and wait for my awareness to be sucked in to the system, because this is a "real" system where your mind is projected into a system. I feel my arms on the chair and try to make them comfortable, I think when my awareness is returned to my body I'll feel this chair again. Then I feel that my awareness is launched forwards plunging through a void, I keep waiting to emerge in the VR world but never arrive.

      "The Meadows": I'm outdoors, I glance up into the sky, there is a huge floating technological looking castle/mansion there. There are security doors sliding shut all over the castle closing over openings, the building seems to be in a state of high alert/emergency.

      I'm in a group of people outdoors. Someone arrives with a spray bottle/thing and begins spraying poison on people who immediately die. I'm far enough away from it (I'm on the poisoning side?) that I'm not affected. I'm standing in a room later, and grab a glass which is upside down from a counter and fill it with water and wonder if this is far enough away form the poison spray to be safe. I see that there is some sort of film/dirt floating on top of the water. Someone in the room says it's better not to drink so I don't.

      bazooka bed: There is some (destroyed) small room with no walls outside. There is a bed in that heap of debris that must be destroyed. I'm holding a bazooka/rocket launcher on my shoulder and trying to find a vantage point to get a good shot. I'm moving around a while trying to get a clear shot (never shoot).

      DeForest Kelley: in a half-lit room, people are sitting in a semi-circle on chairs. In the middle of them is DeForest Kelley, and old man with white hair. He's a famous old actor. he's laughing and giving a monologue. I think he's doing a great job.

      dinner w/president: A group of people are sitting down on two long rows of chairs that face each other (like seating in an airport boarding gate). I'm sitting next to the president. I then get on a chair in-between the long rows and scoot away from and back to near the president. I make room next to the president because the #2 in command has arrived. Besides the rows of chairs is a small table with food and drink. On the table are several really juicy & delicious-looking 2-foot-long subway sandwiches bursting with circular slices of BBQ beef. Several people return their uneaten sandwiches to the tray and take one of the awesome new sandwiches. I'm standing by the table and pick up a large glass pitcher of a drink: I look at it and pour myself a glass, I see "bits" of fruit inside, it's dark, and think it's fig juice, and think wow it probably took a long time for the cooks to squeeze that much juice out of a ton of figs.

      I'm on my way to the presidential palace called "The Meadows" (the floating one?), I'm describing the local of the (travel agency?) which will plan the rest of the trip for me. I'm "remembering" the location, and I say "it's in a cubic-shaped, cream colored building, in a fancy mall". I arrive and I'm not well received until they realize I'm a friend of the president then they treat me with great respect. I'm outdoors beyond this building and a truckload of thugs jump out and we fight: I'm blasting them with energy and awesome fight moves, we engage in some banter (which I forgot).

      There is a large conflict outside a large building: us young folks were "tricked" by the elders and not allowed to participate, they're saving us in case the battle is lost, so we can rebuild the empire -- (this shouldn't be too hard because we have a floating castle?)

      + searching for my room in a weird club/hotel: hot tub, jump down a level, follow signs, my room is a public porta-potty in a noisy crowded area outside, I'm outraged

      I'm in an indoor/outdoor location, like a resort, I hear a young woman laughing and see there's a hot tub nearby, I move to it, I see only a guy there, there's a girl hidden by the wall of the hot tub but I don't go closer to see.

      I need to find my room, the number is something like "8901". I'm on an upper level of the club, and I go to the lower level by jumping off of a ledge, holding on to a bar over my head and slowly stretching my feet down and then drop, it's only about a foot left to go so it's not hard to land. I can't find my room, I go back to the upper level and a guide points the way, I go back to the lower level and follow signs "to the garden" outside, outside there's another sign that leads through an employee and guest only entrance (a sign says so), I see some staff there doing stuff, I move on and am back outside, it's in a busy public area and quite noisy. I find my room finally and am outraged, it is a public ports-potty. I have my key in my hand and think "should I open the door?" I'm embarrassed to have such a sucky room. I do open it (the structure is a cylinder) but there's nothing there inside. Someone says "you have to go through the glass door" I don't see it, some guy "activates" it by pulling on a large lever.

      + I want to wash/rinse/brush my hair but my friends ( MK, AK, others) are lying in a tight row blocking the faucet, kid passing in a car grabs my hand holding my brush

      Outdoor/daylight scene, I want to wash/rinse/brush my hair, I have a brush in my hand. I see that our friends MK and AK and others are sitting down on the ground with their backs against a fence, the faucet I need to wash my hair is blocked by my friends, I walk up and down the line to try to find a way to the faucet. A car drives by and a kid in the back seat grabs my hand with the brush in it (my left hand) through the open car window. I'm trying to claw his face/shake him by grabbing his hood but I have no strength, all I can do is just stand there. [I wake up and my wife is pulling the covers, my arm is on top of the covers and it's getting pulled along with the covers]

      + I see cousins sitting down indoors (red interiors?), move to hug KR, turns out it's my sister and mom

      Indoor, half-lit, red upholstery? I pass some of my cousins who are sitting down on chairs, I don't want to talk to them. I see cousin KR standing and I know we haven't been on the best of relations but go to her, she seems very warm and we move to hug, I realize then that she's my sister and my mother is standing right there with us. Some notion of people arriving in a minivan(?).

      + wife driving, I'm observing weird building after weird building, false memory deceives me, one looks like a giant flat screen TV, one is straddling a depression and is cracking in half, I'll return to inspect it later, one at the top of the hill has a great view, sit on bench with 2 small kids climbing all over me, I explain why I'm going back to school

      I'm sitting in the front passenger side of a car/minivan, my wife is driving, we're heading up in to the B hills. I see a large building to the right that I don't recognize, I think that a large area of trees has been removed and that's why it looks different, I turn my head to the right to look at the building as we drive past, it's a company building.

      We then pass a strange building which is built over a little gulley, the entire building is sagging in the middle like it's collapsing into the gulley. I ask my wife to slow down as we pass so I can get a better look. I look to the right and see a large flat driveway/parking area, I resolve to return to this place and look at it more closely.

      Continuing to wind up into the hills, I see a HUGE building which is REALLY strange, it is very tall (5-6 stories) but extremely thin, I say (to my kid in the back seat?) that "that place looks like a giant flat-screen TV!), I turn my head around and look behind the van at the building as we pass.

      We reach an area at the top of the hills and I see a house built into the hill, they have a patio build on an upper level were they can stand and enjoy the view. I look forwards out over the vista to the water but it's hazy/foggy and can't see any details in the distance.

      I'm out of the car and sitting on a bench outside. A small boy and girl are sitting with me and climbing on me and playing all around, I'm hugging them, they're related to me and I feel great affection towards them. Someone comes and sits down and I discuss why I'm going back to school, the point is "to get an education, an education helps with….getting a job, and being, … a useful person."

      + my private room is also a utility closet, another guy comes in his room plays loud music, I grab a DC and move to a corner to make out (semi?); a repeating story is told about me, a famous opera singer walking through the crowd

      I have my own room in some larger structure (community center). I'm entering the room and I see that the split door (bottom part / top part) top is open, I go out to close it, and back inside my room, I realize that I share this space with the center's utility closet so maids may enter(?). In the room I see a DC (indeterminate sex), take it into my arms, and walk towards a back corner, kissing it several times, and when I arrive in the corner kiss it more deeply for a longer while.

      I'm outside the room (with wife?) and a man who works there, he's going outside in just a towel, his privates are visible, he doesn't care. Another man comes in (a Russian?) sort of short and hairy, he heads into his room which is next to mine, and starts blasting some really loud music, I move to see the source it seems to be almost from within my room.

      I hear some narration that repeats several times about "the huge guy who's the famous opera singer who was moving through the crowd leaving the theater, and all the people turned to look at him[me], ignoring the scene playing on the stage". The voice also makes (a snarky?) comment about me kissing that DC.

      + (FA, LD #101) lying in bed listening to loud water rush through pipes in the walls, bed ejects me, get lucid, climb out window, look for girl, find one, undress her, count to 5 to calm down, wake up on "..3…"

      I wake up in bed looking up at the ceiling in a white walled room and hear a strong flow of water like moving through pipes, I look up and "follow" the progress of the water through the pipes with my eyes, along the corner of the room and then the corner of the wall with the ceiling. I expect the water to burst through the ceiling at any moment. Right then, my bed heaves itself up from the head end and I'm ejected out on to the floor. As the bed lifts up I realize this is a dream, and I'm thankful for having such an easy-to-spot FA. I realize this is a dream again because my "body" has no pains in it whatsoever. I hear something outside, and jump out the window. Outside is very bright daylight and there are lots of colorful things all over the place, I'm on the side of a house. I continue around the corner and pick up a male DC with a sort of moon face and will him to become a hot girl, or for a girl to appear. I then see a bunch of girls seated on a bench a bit farther on in the garden and move towards them, pick one, undress her (take off her top?) and then count to 5 to calm my self before engaging, and I start "1….2….3... … then I wake up! Ah crap!
    12. 2015-02-23, (1.5 year anniversary) [LD #100 -- triple digits!] flying, pot, park, picnic, basketball

      by , 02-23-2015 at 12:18 PM
      early recall disappointing: great dreams I sense but poor recall. Later recall good with a short lucid and some amusing scenarios.

      Dreamsigns in bold. Lucid in red.

      + awesome flying with a friend from my childhood home's backyard all the way down to the city far below -- swooping all over the place (wish I had better memory of this)

      + encounter junior HS girlfriend in room sitting on floor, baggie of blue and green sprinkles "pot"

      I enter a room and sit down on the floor with my back against the wall. To my left also sitting in the same position is MB, my junior high school girlfriend. I lean over and give her a peck-kiss on the cheek and she scoots quickly away from me on the floor towards the door ("don't do that" she says?), I tell her she smells like pot [she did used to toke]. She returns to me and I put my left arm around her and we're sitting cheek to cheek and I'm concerned somebody may see us and get the wrong idea. She brings out a baggie from a backpack on the other wall of the room: it is a quart-sized ziploc absolutely stuffed full with what looks like blue and green colored sugar crystals. It is pot. I take a big whiff of it but don't smell anything, MB does the same, I say "get this stuff away from me!" and put it back into the backpack.



      + I'm saying good night and waving good-bye to a friend (MB?) at childhood neighborhood park. I look up the stairs to the street and see a group of my friends are all lined up standing on the edge of the curb. I run up the stairs, and decide to do a "play tackle" of the group. I run forward with my shoulder lowered and run into the pack of them lightly from the left with my right hand around the body of the one in back. My right hand accidentally rests on the butt of the girl in the back, who it turns out is KH [always had a crush on her], she says annoyed, "<my name>! Hey!>". I walk down the line of them towards the front, high-fiving them all, then continue walking home with some girl, I'm complaining about having to get up early for an elementary linguistics class I don't need.

      WBTB -- anchor: visualizing walking while dribbling a basketball.

      room way too hot & stuffy, turn on fan, go get water (ate way too big too late sushi dinner with too much soy sauce, feel sodium hangover)

      + (lucid #100 [woohoo triple digits, baby!]) I'm in my childhood home, my bedroom, with son and wife, I see a bird quickly swoop by the window outside, I continue looking on the trajectory it took and see our cat sitting on a cabinet. The window (left pane) is a crack open and an animal is standing there. I can't decide at first if it is a cat (with a face like our cat) or a bird. I decide it is an owl and it starts to look like one, about 1.5 feet tall. I'm calling out to my wife to see the owl, and she doesn't see it. I'm practically screaming at her, "IT'S RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU! LOOK, RIGHT THERE, STRAIGHT AHEAD!"). The owl walks to the room, it transforms into a tall (4 feet) brown furry/blurry/feathery thing and starts pacing back and forth in the room. I think, "Ah, OK, this is a dream,…" (nose pinch?). I clearly recall a thought like "time for some sex!" (and don't remember very much more.)

      + (f) sitting at desk in childhood bedroom, I see "they" have arranged my stuff: my digital watch (missing its band) has been pinned to my bulletin board, neatly arranged at the bottom among other things pinned there.

      + the pool: I'm sitting behind a glass wall [dream sign], a group of girls emerge from the door leading to the pool About 3 of them sit on chairs a bit behind my view and are stretching/moving, I look at them, then I turn around and crane my neck to get a view of them. I return my gaze forwards and see 2 of them are sitting immediately next to me now on my side of the glass: one to my right and a bit forwards and one directly in front of me. The one directly in front of me is bottomless and I see her v-jay and she's rubbing it a bit with both hands. My beach towel is bunched up under my right arm. At a later point I'm looking for my towel and I find it near my left arm. I want to take a pic of these lovelies and take out my phone. My phone is stuck on an app, and I hit the home button to then switch to the camera app. The phone does not respond. It keep hitting the home button, the phone acts like it's hung. I sense a guy is standing next to me looking down at my phone screen, and don't want him to see. A physical button appears and I'm tweaking it to try to select a function on the phone. I give up and a put down the phone but the girls are gone and their chairs are empty. Dang!

      I stand up and prepare to talk away, I see on the ground a discarded funny small thing which turns out to be a company N special phone (like a small watch face) on ground, JT my N colleague shows/tells me that the owner can be found by entering a code. 9198? I ask for the code a few times, repeat it to myself, and try repeatedly to enter the code on the device. The device is now a large circuit board with a very small keypad that my fingers can barely touch properly, my fingernails get in the way. I can't enter the access code on the circuit board, every time I try the board (beeps and all the buttons/lights turns red temporarily).

      + I'm playing crazy basketball on a team playing against another team. We're playing with wadded-up towels instead of balls, shooting them into the baskets. I'm making a lot of plays (lay-ups) and shots banking the "balls" off of the backboard to score. My opponents ask me "why do you use the backboard so much?" (they think doing so is beneath them). I steal the ball from a missed shot of theirs and make another basket for our team, again banking against the backboard. I tell them "see!?", the backboard helps focus the ball into the basket I think. I make a run towards the basket and stop suddenly at the top of the key and pass the ball behind my back to a teammate (it was an awesome pass) who then passes it back to me but I fumble it and say "sorry!"

      (I throw?) the "ball" up behind the backboard and it gets wedged in the corner of the ceiling and the wall. I see it there, it looks inaccessible. I take a broom handle and climb up there, there is not room to get my head/body up there, but as it turns out it's not that far away and the broom handle is more than long enough to reach it. Someone is standing next to me as I pull out the rag/ball.

      + the picnic: I'm walking and notice 'the garden house" which I think is normally empty. There is a short path leading to it, it is underneath trees. I see there is a light inside. I wonder if it is T (our house helper), someone is inside. I feel annoyed that people are in there, it should be a private retreat for me I think. I enter and see in the room there a table set and on the other side a really attractive girl, colored all in white/black/silver, completely monochrome, something is weird about her but I feel attracted at the same time. I sit down and there is a more colorful girl to my left, she recites a poem (which I mostly forgot), the final words are "…and we have our first kiss." I'm a bit embarrassed by this, I'm not really into her but I sense she likes me.

      I take a drink of something and spill a few drops on my crouch, I look down and see I'm wearing gray dress slacks, I brush away the pinkish drops and I see a pinkish faint stain is left on the fabric, I don't worry about it.

      + the secret: I'm walking on some road/path with my mother to my left, and a (the colorful girl from previous dream?) girl. I tell lucid #100 details to girl (whispering so that mother won't hear, I don't want her to know I'm a lucid dreamer), especially the heart where my wife didn't see the owl. The girl notices strange bumps on mother's head (shaved area), girl says she has the same. I look to my left and see a strange shaved area around my other's right ear. The girl says something about a little piece of the bumps providing some sensation if it is rubbed (haha).

      +(f) the circuit board: the entire daughter card is held/contacts the motherboard only via two jumpers, concerned about contacts, should solder them probably. I'm holding this thing in my hands and looking at it from different angles.

    13. 2015-02-22 mini-epic in former C home, reunion with old dog L

      by , 02-22-2015 at 10:59 AM
      crazy late to bed but interesting dreams and a mini-epic

      + naked in a house, strangers enter, dive into hot tub/pool, taking out the 3 large, dry Christmas trees, the shack burned down

      I'm in the living room of some home. I'm naked and standing near a fireplace mantle and picking up and trying out some bizarre metallic tools (look like freaky surgery instruments) on "the boys" very carefully (these tools look like they could cause severe damage). I notice outside the glass wall [dreamsign] to the back yard there are two stranger (guys and a girl) in the garden. They pull open the door and enter the room, I immediately dive headfirst into the small pool / large hot tub embedded in the floor of the living room right next to me, I tell them something briefly.

      With some other guys, I'm carrying out 3 very tall completely dry/dead Christmas trees. As we're approaching the street I see a small foundation for a shack but the shack is gone. The fire department is there, I ask "did it burn down?" Someone has completely cleared away the debris.

      +(f) doing laundry: there's a backlog waiting for the dryer

      The washer is full of a finished load, wet, there's another load waiting to go, someone (wife?) is directing me what needs to be done

      +(f) buying liquor in a store, huge heavy shopping carts (can't lift, multiple levels), trucks outside

      I have a shopping cart with me, and I'm looking over a ledge to the lower level where there are store clerks and two more shopping carts full of booze, I try reaching down to pull one up, it's way too heavy so I say I'll have to come down. Go outside and there are large semi-trucks there?

      + (mini-epic) back to former C home with wife, enjoying walking around the home and in the garden (so happy to be back [dreamsign!]), watering back lawn & garden, realize we've broken in while the new owners are away on extended vacation, concerned about getting caught (fingerprints!), we've trashed the place it's an amazing mess & have to clean it, wife sleeping on couch, try to clean but just spread more powder, someone rings the doorbell, try to hide, go outside, massive convention of salespeople selling some gizmo, take gizmo in, set it up (but the owners will notice!), lying on mattress in living room, old dog L runs in to me & we have a great reunion

      I'm back in my former C home I'm really happy to be here [emerging dream sign],, I'm walking around just enjoying the green grass in the back yard, and the features of the home. My wife is with me. At some point I'm in the backyard again and I notice the lawn is completely dead/grey, I set some sprinklers / hoses to water the garden (I had done this before?) I suddenly think that the new owners will notice the water usage on their utility bill and question where it came from. I "remember" that they are all away on an extended vacation to India but I don't know when they are returning. Inside the house I think they may be able to figure out that we were there, they could take fingerprints and naturally the police would suspect the former owners of the home and we'd be caught.

      I'm looking around and boy we've really trashed the place. Garbage is strewn all over the floor it's going to take forever to clean it up. (Pomegranate seeds everywhere?). I walk in to the living room and see my wife is sleeping on the couch there, she's completely messed up the blankets/covers on the couch, will we be able to put them back in place?

      The doorbell rings and I look to the front door, the entire front of the house is made of glass walls [false memory, major dream sign], so there's nowhere to hide. We do not answer the door, they could be people who know the new owners, what would we say to them? They soon leave.

      I go outside and the entire neighborhood (an open field) is crawling with salespeople hawking their strange device. The people at the door were probably salespeople. A salesman comes back into the house with me, with a device, it is a bizarre multi-sectioned thing of unknown purpose. We start to set it up in a hallway (in the kitchen?) it involves screwing some large (square-foot) brackets on each wall and running something in between. I think "we can't do this, the new owners will clearly notice this."

      I'm trying to clean with some unknown woman, using a "vacuum" cleaner that on each push forwards emits a large cloud of white powder. It is clearly making more of a mess than cleaning up.

      I'm in the living room lying down on a mattress on the floor. I hear the sound (collar jingling) of my old dog L who is running to meet me. I pull back the covers and make a space for him and he hops right on and stands next to me. I try to smell his fur, I miss that smell of him, but I don't get a clear scent. He's in good spirits and I'm really happy to see him.

      + I return to the dream, I'm talking about dog L with somebody, I see a strange sharp/raw version of his. I say "they told us he had only 2K calories left to live", I break down in tears, I look up his breed (on the computer?) and find 16 years is the maximum lifespan [but one weird case lived to 32], he lived to almost 17, I think we have to put him to sleep before we leave on our move, I say I enjoy our reunions in dreams.

    14. 2015-02-20 WATER night: aquarium, whales, waterfall, dragon book girl, watering C garden

      by , 02-20-2015 at 09:37 AM
      + aquarium remodel: glass panels on top of the stones outside, giant flourescent anemones prominently displayed (they asked my advice?)

      Walking along a coastline, they're remodeling, instead of stone slabs they're placing a layer of glass on top of the stones.

      Inside the aquarium I meet a remodeling worker. I notice that they've brought all the anemone displays here: very large (1-2 meter diameter), fluorescent (blue, orange) anemones, they're still in progress of rearranging all the displays. (The guy asks me my opinion on where they should put some of them?)

      +(f) island tour: day-long, you have to bring your own water

      + "down the drain": jumping into a whirlpool/waterfall in a lake/ocean, get a good look down into the wild water and think "maybe this wasn't such a hot idea"; water dries up revealing shaft, enter building, avoid security, choose the right fork

      I'm walking along the shore of a large body of water. I notice around the edges some bumps/ rocks in the water, I then see clearly that it is a rocky circular waterfall, sort of like this (but rocky/bumpy edges, not smooth):



      I fly/jump right out into this to jump among the rocks but realize this thing is DEEP and keeps going down, down from rocky outcrop to rocky outcrop, "Oops! This may not have been a good idea" I have a feeling I may never make it out of here. Trying to direct my fall by jumping from rock to rock. The water vanishes and I see a massive shaft leading down as far as the eye can see with many levels branching out:



      I'm down on one of the levels on top of a high structure trying to elude security, but I'm spotted. I come down. From the structure I need to choose a fork of some sort, I choose one and look at it, two-pronged, about the length a large dinner fork. I need to use this to close some latch on a door(?).

      + (Star Trek IV): save the whales, my team talking nonsense tech babble to overwhelm and confuse the inspectors, (e.g., "jimjab the cyclotron on the blogsnarf"), an inspector spots the trapdoor leading to the whales on the lower level; adult whale song can be heard across the world, baby blue whale (in the open trunk of a car?)

      Inside a ship/submarine, my team is trying to fend off evil-intentioned inspectors from finding the whales which are riding in the hold of our ship. In turn, each member of our crew speaks a quick statement of nonsense technical terms to try to confuse the inspecting team. It seems to be working. I look down and see below a layer of water a trapdoor locked with a padlock leading to the lower levels. Then an inspector sees the same thing and a key and asks what is that for? I think we've been discovered.

      Looking down into the open trunk of a car(?), thinking about adult whales, their song can be heard around the world. See/think of a baby blue whale (size of a slug?) and its song can't be heard as far.

      + (f) a giant key on a table?

      + meet a girl in a (bookstore?) on a couch, we're both reading dragon books, I ask "where did we meet last time?"

      I'm sitting down on a couch (in a home? bookstore?) reading a book and a pretty girl comes and sits next to me, also reading a book. We're both reading books about dragons and we start talking. She says that she read the book I'm holding and she was reading the next one. We say the titles of the books (forgot). She looks really familiar, I have the strong feeling we've met before. I ask her "where was the last place we met?". I'm feeling attracted to her and thinking about nudging/bumping her. Her father comes up and I want to dispel any suspicion so I quickly stick out my hand, we shake hands and say "we are also hs<something>", he moves around to the other side of the couch.

      + watering the garden old C home, garage next to neighbor's, windows open, enter garage, see piece of childhood desk cast aside

      I'm back outside on a sunny morning at my old adult C home, I'm really happy to be back here. I turn on the sprinklers to water the garden. I miss the simple joy of just watering the garden. I see the water sprinkling up the narrow strip by the garage wall towards the maple tree (which is tiled in the dream, in waking reality it was a dirt area), not much water is there but enough, and it is running back down towards me in a slow trickle so I think it will cover well enough. I walk around looking at the garden. I see a large bowl planter that is now complete filled with water ("I guess I should turn off the water?"), I notice some scraggly herb plants ("looks like oregano?").

      I'm up against the neighbor house across the street. Neighbor voice says "you did a good job on your remodel, you made your windows large and wide" (true IWL). I'm standing up against the front wall of the neighbor house which has old, wooden windows in bad shape with peeling paint, their windows are widely open. My garage is immediately up against their house and also has open windows. I think they could throw garbage directly from their windows into my garage. I look through the open indows into my garage and see piles of wood.

      I'm in the garage walking around the large piles of waste wood, I look towards the middle and see a piece of my old blue childhood desk lying discarded there with drawers open and my old papers spilling out onto the ground. I go to it and want to look through these old papers. Later I'm walking past piled up wood pallets and have something in my hand.

    15. Stop the presses! What a night! Not lucid? Who cares! (semi at least) Fight & Flight & Sex!

      2015-02-15

      STOP THE PRESSES OMFG WHAT A NIGHT! A real Sensei-3 night (Sensei says our lizard brain instincts of: fight, flight, & sex are the strongest urges in dreams), and I got 'em ALL in one night. At the end, at least semi-lucid, perhaps low-level lucid, but the word "dream" did not cross my mind so I'll count it as semi.

      I'm happy I retained as much as I did of the early/mid, I didn't record at all during the night, but did mental journaling. Yes, this is just the *summary*. It's going to take me all day to DJ, but it was so awesome I'm going to write it all up so I remember this.

      early:

      + fight with evil girls

      This goes on for a while, it's indoors, my first memory of this is the end of the dream where I'm entering a doorway expecting to be ambushed by the evil girl who's (on the top bunk of a bunk bed just inside the door?)

      + barbarous invaders, we're cowering in the trenches, they scalp our leader's wife, she's brave, I find pairing knife and pass it to our leader to take out the lead invader

      Large open outdoors area, a large group of invaders in white are prancing around on a field (IWL saw a ballet last night). My team is against them, and we're hunkering down in a trench. The invader leader takes a woman with long red hair and cuts off a chunk of her hair with a knife and tosses it down. "Bastard!" we exclaim. Then she is completely scalped with a bloody head in front of a building, she bravely tells us something like "every fighter has a final fight." I find a small sharp kitchen paring knife in the rocks and start to pick it up, making noise, my group "shushes" me, I very slowly and quietly pick it up and hand it to the guy in front of me (our leader?), hiding my hand and the knife beneath a large rock to conceal it.

      + fantastic rainbow shining fish in bizarre mobile aquariums: "computational" spine fish, "aquarium geeks are brave"

      I'm mostly DO observing these very tall (15-20 feet), wide (40-60+t) but thin (2 feet) aquarium tanks that are being moved by truck. Inside are amazing rainbow shiny blobby fish, some fish are predators chasing prey fish. Close up inside of a large sort of dinosaur-like fish with spiky spines running down its back, and these spines are actually somehow related to (computer) data, and the fish has the ability to process these spines and the place them into proper order (sorting them!). Close up at the top of the back of the fish, a guy who studies this fish knows how to reach inside an organ at the top of its back and stimulate it to process one of the data spines.

      I'm floating at the upper edge/entrance of one of the tanks, the water is dark and uninviting, I say "aquarium geeks are amazing," (they don't mind going into dark water with unseen creatures all around).

      + talking with VP about my work schedule, the disadvantages of working remotely, another exec (woman) hears me talking about my dedication to the job and says "I *like* you!", the shiny metalic highly magnetic valuable little doodad, I can't decide whether or not to put it in its case or leave it out

      I'm outdoors talking (on the phone?) either with or nearby to a VP of my company. I'm saying that I'm going to work remotely less, it's important to be in the office because being away from the office for too long, you miss building a sense of camaraderie with the team. I don't want to say exactly how long I work at home but it's like 2 weeks at home then 2 weeks in the office.

      I walk by a female executive of the company and she overhears me talking about my dedication to the job and she response, "I *like* you!" I think she just means my dedication.

      I'm standing looking closely at some small shiny metal magnetic doodad. It's like a medium sized fishing sinker/weight. It has a small metallic magnetic case that is lockable. I'm trying to figure out what to do with this thing, it will hold strongly on the top of the case magnetically but someone still could steal it. I have the thought that prying the magnetic case off of the car will ruin/bend the body of the car. I put it in its case and take it out a few times, I think the female exec is also watching.

      mid:
      + no visuals sexy time
      Spoiler for sexual content:


      + walk down park path inspecting briefly my (ahem) which is still "excited" from the previous dream, inside building, super heavy/dense little boy ("can you even lift him?"), walking through crowd of girls boldly hugging them, introducing myself, ask one girl her name, doesn't respond, I joke with others about this

      I'm walking down a path into the park,
      Spoiler for sexual content:

      I enter a building and sit on a (bed/couch). A woman, her mother, and the woman's young boy are there, the boy is very thick/sturdy. He climbs up next to me and I pick him up and place him in my lap. He's VERY heavy. I look up at the mother and ask her "can you even pick him up?" She has some answer which I think is 'yes.'

      I stand up and I'm walking through crowd of late teen girls. I'm hugging some and introducing myself, I'm sort of amazed at how bold I am. I walk around to the left and encounter a girl there and ask her name. She has a "deer in the headlights" look and doesn't respond for a while (I think she does eventually). I laugh and say "took you a while there!" the girls around me appreciate the joke.

      + following/arranging for (president's wife?) and I to arrive in room together, and then kissing her on couch, "We shouldn't do this!" she says (semi-lucid) at the end, followed by (theoretical, dream deteriorating) sexy time.

      I'm in some indoor space, like a backstage. I sense there is a woman I know and am attracted to moving around in the space, I'm trying to carefully time my walking pace so we will coincide. She is the wife of someone important (the president?) I think she will enter the room so I head that way, and I enter the room just behind her (and close the door?).
      Spoiler for racy content:
      , the dream fades

      late:

      + (f) in a house with a group?

      at some point I'm falling asleep again and I'm seeing images through my eyelids, I start "looking at them" and they vanish.

      + EPIC: walking outside with group on suburban sidewalk, juicy berry bushes growing in garden, branches extending over sidewalk; sitting around kitchen table, girls and I sneak twice into next room for sexy time , 2nd time I realize we're discovered, I decide to exit hastily, through garage, via my "James Bond-ish" weird formula race car, morphs into jet plane, (semi) lucid, something clicks and I'm flying over wide, detailed vista, ULTRA high def night-time city scene with lights everywhere, see my arms "wow waking-life, even freckles", shoot at things (lasers/torpedos), land looking for "love," expect motel to have bordello, enter, "it's inspection time, ladies!", head upstairs to patio with 3, start in on sexy-time; transition to FA in motel, wife says son wants "<something>-poncho", open door, same patio with 2 of the girls, sneak out and kiss them; evil MC in circus show and the girls in trouble, I/(and "superman?") save them, sit in a circle eating strange cheese telling them how much we love them.

      I'm walking in a group of young people on a sidewalk outs doors in a suburban/country neighborhood. On one block we come upon a fenced garden where there are berry bushes growing over the fence. I see very big (but realistic sized) juicy ripe red raspberries and blackberries, and smaller berries like currants (red and purple). I feel like taking some of berries to eat them but don't know the owner and don't know if they use pesticides or fertilizers so I don't pick any to eat. My group is looking at the berries. I walk farther along and see a female inside the fence with garden shears cutting off the branches that are hanging over the fence. I comment on the awesome berry crop she has, I look backwards along the fence and think she's trying to prevent people from eating her berries.

      In a house sitting around a kitchen table in one room. I go to an adjoining room with a girl for sexy time (but don't remember it). Back in the kitchen,
      Spoiler for sexy content:
      I decide it is time to "get out of Dodge" and hastily head for the exit.

      On the way to the exit I encounter a small control panel/remote control with long thin buttons and lights, and I select a destination (time?) that is far away from here where they will not find me.

      I enter a clean, lit, "high tech" garage, and hit my right palm against a large square button/panel in the wall which opens up the garage door (emergency exit?)

      I move for the exit and see a strange low vehicle there. I know it's a high tech sports car. It looks like just a very large square platform with formula-1 tires/wheels. I sit down and "start" it and will it to start moving fast away from here. One of the tires is in the middle of the platform blocking my vision and I push it out of the way.

      I'm semi lucid at this point and decide I could just turn the car into a jet and fly away. I reach each hand forward to the "controls", grab them, and the jet takes off! I move quickly up into the sky towards some hills. Something clicks and the visuals get extremely clear, ultra high def, with tons of objects and screen overlay symbols jumping all over the view, there are objects moving in the air and I have a super clear view of an expansive night-time cityscape from medium-high altitude. I look down and see my arms reaching forwards to the controls and think "wow my arms/hands look very realistic", I even noticed a freckle!

      I'm flying the plane, banking it up and down and aiming fire (torpedoes, lasers) at various vehicles on the freeways/overpasses. I'm flying like this for around a minute and I'm just stunned with the visuals and the experience.

      I fly low near the ground and think "girls"/strip club/bordello" and notice a building that looks like a cheap motel with 2-stories of rooms. I think there must be some girls in there. I land and eject / jump out to standing on the ground and think "in this room there will be a (salon/bordello/girls)", I enter and there are 4-5 naked (at least topless) ladies. Some are very attractive, but one is very obese. I say "OK ladies, time for an inspection!" I position myself as a corrupt inspector who's come for his "special inspection". It's been a while since I've been here to do this I think, (one of the ladies comments, "again?"?). I head upstairs to a patio with three girls, someone says "you need to start with the newest girl," which think is the obese one and I don't really want to interact with her.
      Spoiler for sexy time:
      the dream fades…

      …into a false awakening, I'm in a motel room with my wife getting up from bed. She says something about "S1 (older son) needs a <????>-poncho" some sort of rain poncho I think which can fold up, I'm not sure I heard right and ask again. I'm a bit confused about the poncho. I open the door and see out on to the patio of the just prior sexy time except now it's daylight and I see two of the girls there lying hungover with large sunglasses on their faces. I think "woohoo!" and sneak out of the room trying to close the door quietly behind me, and go up to the girl on the left and give her a quick kiss, then move to the girl on the right and give her a quick kiss that turns into a longer kiss and the dream transitions…

      …into some sort of indoor circus act featuring an evil MC and the girls from the salon, a huge beast like an elephant is there with seating strapped down its sides, and I see one of the girls is bound with duct tape and seated on the side where I am. I know that the evil MC has placed the girls in danger and when the beast moves they'll get hurt, I/we have to save them. As I'm looking at the situation I see the heads of two more girls pop up they're wedged in between the animal and the seating place.

      The beast begins to move and (superman?) swoops down and removes the two seating areas tearing the straps off the beast and flies away with the girls to outside. I'm there, it's a urban night environment, a steep street descends away from us, the evil MC is there cursing at us, superman throws the seat/(elephant?) at him strongly which bowls him over and he's gone.

      Sitting in a small circle with the girls eating cheese. I'm / we're telling them how much we love them. I kiss one (but her face is a pack of cheese?). There's a girl who doesn't like cheese seated on my left, I reach over to kiss her/talk to her but she says "ew!" I think she's seen cheese in my mouth. She opens a pack of cheese and spills it all on the ground I say "oh good job it's all spilled now". Looking at the cheese they are tiny pieces of orange cheese like teeny tiny amoebas or 5-legged starfish about the size of a pinky fingernail. Some of them are individually wrapped in plastic and I think that's odd.
