    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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.

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

      by , 02-15-2015 at 02:48 PM
      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.

      Two nights ago: generally frag-a-licious mode, still

      2015-02-10

      early:
      +(f) in a haunted house, all doors lead to ghosts, some are worse than others

      +(f) the guys send me the latest version of the invention we're working on: sort of a disc with yin/yang decoration plates on top

      +(f) walking in city streets, lift my arm and start to fly diagonally up at the street light, think about asking people on the ground to help me go higher

      later:

      + on the highway, directions, descending stairs ducking under string in the T's rec room, younger girls and older guys are there, racey (NSFW) game, pics on SD card, move to computer to copy them.

      +(f) sitting at the computer with a girl, sense an opportunity and touch her leg a bit, concerned people will see

      +(f) big giant guy floating down the river on his back, prominent erection

      +(f) taking a photograph of a group

      +(f-d) on the border between fragment and dream) there's a lot of garbage under the table, giant amber gem, turns out to be just a paperweight

      +(f) choosing a place to place my sleeping bag

      +(f) thinking of lying down to sleep in a doorstep, it looks too small

      +(f-d) the guys recorded their movie digitally and converted it to niche-theater formats and made a lot of money this way, I see the movie scenes playing on the screen, two different formats (one with wire-frame overlays)

      ---------------------------------------
      ---------------------------------------

      Last night:
      2015-02-11

      + baseball: I catch a fly ball that bounced into the stands, second ball, third flies over my head

      I'm just arriving to the beginning of a (pro) baseball game, the announcer at that moment says "and it's a hit!" I'm located in far left field near the foul line, the ball lands near the back fence in front of me, the umpire rules it fair, and the ball bounces out of the field right at me, I try to catch it, I do catch it, I wonder if the player on the field will demand it back. I notice it is very frayed and has two large chunks taken out of it. I turn away from the field so I won't have to give it back. Everyone will be amazed that I have <some player>'s first hit of the game! I cat a second ball, now I have two! The third ball flies over my head and into a group of people across the street.

      +(f-d) bus (girl)

      I'm sitting in the back of a bus. Not clear where we're going, people getting on/off? A girl comes to exit the bus standing right by me, I look up and admire her bust, then notice I can catch a glimpse of panties because her right leg is lifted up and I can see almost all the way down, then the view closes and she's wearing jeans.

      +(f) butt (girl)

      I'm in a crowded area (at work?). I notice a girl. I walk forwards, look to the left and see her facing away from me, she is impossibly slender (her whole body is like 1 foot wide at the most) and she's wearing short shorts, I admire her well-shaped butt.

      + outdoor stairs, creepy guy looking at me, crowded bookstore (closed for restocking break will last for 30 minutes)

      In a large open sloping down area (like amphitheater [DS]), I notice a blonde haired man looking at me. At another moment I notice him again, he's still looking at me, and I think this is creepy. I walk down the stairs and enter a small store, it's a bookstore, it's very crowded there's almost nowhere to walk because boxes of books are everywhere on the floor. The store is closing, they are going to be restocking for a while, I ask how long the guys answers 30 minutes, that's too long for me so I turn around and walk out. I think that perhaps a colleague from a job long ago is there?

      + (semi-lucid) in parent's bedroom, want to get out fly

      I'm standing in my parent's bedroom, I want to get out to their balcony and fly. Even though "I'm awake" I remember there's always a chance that if I try to fly it might turn out to be a dream and I would be able to fly [this thought occurs a lot, DS!]. The way to the door to the balcony is blocked. The door is a bit to the right, it must be there. I can see outside and it seems that the balcony is completely covered with drying racks where clothes are hanging. I can't get there from where I'm standing, I notice that there is a pathway in between two separate beds probably made for the purpose of getting to the balcony door. I go to the window facing the G's house and (someone's out there in the distance? Throwing things?) I feel like I need to close this window.

      +(f) there's shooting going on outside, we should take cover

      +(f) entering gym, paying at turnstile

    7. 2015-02-04 Comp (SCoAA) night #11, football, weird bathroom, underground railroad, bowling alley

      by , 02-04-2015 at 09:37 AM
      argh, too many dreams and no middle of the night recording, it's all sort of a jumble now and a lot of content slipped away.

      Way late to bed

      01:50 bedtime

      almost asleep after about 15 minutes, then wife asks me question, get upset that sleep process disturbed, take 2mg melatonin to make sure I fall asleep

      11:10

      + scored my first touchdown in the women's (!!) collegiate football league on an interception; in a house saying "did you see my play on TV?"

      I'm standing on the sidelines of a women's football game in a stadium on a gray, cold, and rainy day in Oakland. I see the stands of fans, the coaches, and notice the light rain streaming down diagonally. Standing facing the field I hear the visiting coach say to the home coach "I'm sorry that your players have to play in this sort of weather." Either I or the home coach says/thinks the weather isn't always this bad.

      It's dark and I'm on the field in a play on defense. The play begins and the quarterback goes to pass, she passes and a blocker jumps up and tips the ball, it's coming down now and I'm near it, I may get it, I lunge for it and I catch it! I've intercepted the pass, and we're waaaaay down on the other end of the field, can I make it? I give it my all and run for the far end zone, anticipating tacklers but none catch me. Can my heart last all the way there? Near end zone some (now) defenders appear, they may stop me right before the goal link, no, I must make it, and I make it, store the touchdown, and raise the football into the air in celebration!

      I appear in a small bathroom in a house, a young woman is there, and the place is filled with pine tree branch tips full of tiny budding pine cones. I leave the bathroom into the living room, I sense my best friend MR is there, and I say, "did you SEE IT!? My first … women's … collegiate…TOUCHDOWN" I'm trying to figure out if they saw it on TV they indicate they did.

      + desperately trying to close screens of NSFW content on laptop as wife enters room, instead they multiply and fall off the screen as sheets of photographs

      On a laptop with NSFW screens up, wife enters room, I quickly hit the close screen key but the screens don't close (dream sign) (well actually they do close but there's always another one popping up or sitting there behind the one just closed). She comes around to my side and I have to close the screen to hide the content. She starts talking about something but all my attention is focused on clearing those screens. I close some but there seem to be an unlimited number of them. At some point the screens of images become physical photographs which pile up on top of my hand sitting in between the keyboard and the mostly closed screen.

      + I'm in the underground railroad saving slaves, hide them in the shack, the prosecutor is biased, grizzled train engineers won't give up their black comrades

      I see a shack by the side of the road, either a chicken coop or a run-down vendor's daytime market shack that no one will look in, we can hide the slaves in there. Scene inside with the slaves, talking. I'm thinking we won't get any help from the local prosecutor since he's biased. I approach a train outside and see the grizzled, sooty, stern faces of the engineers, they will not give up their black comrades.

      +(f) two teens hung to die(?), hands bound around their chests

      + deserted drug dealer houses, bowling alley in son's room, 7-10 split close-up

      Driving by houses on the left, look and see they are deserted, I say yes those are the houses of rich (drug dealers?) better not to go in them (?). Inside, talking with the owner, I notice in his son's room there are two full-sized bowling lanes. I want to bowl, do they work? Yes, we go in and clean up the stuff that's piled on the lanes and bowl a few balls, they start returning on the ball return mechanism but something's blocking them.

      I then see a close-up of the end of the alley where there is a 7-10 split, there is a narrator talking about the (pro?) bowler trying to hit the split, I see the ball appear, it's heading for the 10 pin, it has heavy spin, I see the ball appear/approach the balls several times, it's coming from the left (like from a left-handed bowler) towards the 10 then swerves to barely clip the left edge of the 7 pin which slooooowly falls over and then rolls around to eventually slowly knock over the 10 pin, he made the spare!

      + peeing in a strangely decorated bathroom (made to look like a scummy public rest stop): asphalt floor, toilets are just depressions in the ground, grates to the outside

      I walk into the bathroom, and am struck at how it looks: it looks like a spartan outdoor public toilet, the floors are made of asphalt, there are doors and windows to the outside covered with metal grates, and the toilets themselves are just depressions in the asphalt floor. I'm thinking a mess was made by some guy peeing from outside up through the high window grate into the bathroom.

      edit: I'm promoting the above to a dream from a fragment, it was too long for a fragment and had me looking at and thinking about things.

    8. 2015-01-29 Comp (SCoAA) night #9: searching for the sun

      by , 02-02-2015 at 08:27 PM
      The impression of lots of dreams, recall spotty though

      + ChrBen is not playing right, I follow him calling out "might as well call it "glinklesplort" <some nonsense>"

      He's playing the game wrong, he's making multiple hits and following the (ball?) and keeps presenting this as one turn, it's obviously cheating so that we may as well call it a different game.

      + billiards: I give the shaft conditioner to the girl who uses it and I use the tip sandpaper myself, up-close view

      I bring out the shaft conditioner (basically a hollow cylinder made of a mildly abrasive material), mention you need to blow on it to get out
      the old dust. Then I take out my tip rougher (small plastic doohicky with sandpaper glued to it) and start roughing up the edges of my tip. I watch while the girl runs the conditioner up and down her cue stick, and then she really starts grinding it a lot near the tip. I think she probably will like how smooth it is.

      + crazy billiards: lots of obstacles on the table: vases, pieces of paper, etc.

      +(f) oral sex?

      + taking the girl out to lie in the last rays of the run for the day on yellow towels, two-finger-kiss salute to girl in house, is the house locked?, walking looking for sun, raised cement/pebble platform, dilapidated wooden bench, "if you're happy and you know it"

      I'm in a small house and am taking a girl out to sit in the sun. We need two large yellow bathtowels. We have one but need one more, there is (my other girlfriend?) lying down on a couch/lounger on top of just such a towel. I reach under her and pull it out. I wonder if she'll mind that I'm going out with this other girl. I bring my index/middle fingers together, kiss them, blow he the kiss then point the fingers at her, she makes the same gesture back to me so I guess she's OK with out.

      Going out, I try to remember if I've locked the door.

      We're walking around a university campus (my old one) and see that the patches of sunlight are really starting to shrink. At one point she walks on the other side of a building from me but we soon rejoin. She's walking in front of me slightly and another group of students walk close to her, startling her, making her jump a little bit and look suddenly to the right at them. I see her face in profile clearly, she is Asian (I don't think she was at the house).

      We're walking through a small area between buildings with stairways going up, some students are sitting on the stairs, few spots of sun around but just on the bare ground, not really acceptable.

      We're walking and she points out a place ahead, but it's just on the concrete, not grass, she indicates she doesn't like it. I say "well that's what you get (for going out at the end of the day when the sun is disappearing)".

      On a sort of raised patio I see a higher patio with some grasses growing to the right, I make for it. Some other students are heading there, too. I want to get there first. I'm looking at the pebbly/concrete "steps" making up this raised area and thinking about jumping up there.

      I look across the patio we're on and see a long, dilapidated wooden bench running along the entire edge of the patio. It looks to be in pretty bad shape, but I offer that as a possibility.

      I'm standing there with a guy, some children are singing a song ("let the sunshine in"?), and he's upset about this, saying, "Are you *CRAZY*?!" (he thinks the singing will bother the wildcats who will go nuts and (attack us?)).

    9. 2015-01-31 Comp (SCoAA) night #7: both prior homes in one night! projectile poop-blasting macaques

      by , 01-31-2015 at 01:19 PM
      New dreaming result! I had significant (semi-epic) dreams *both* of my childhood home and my prior adult home, both in the same night (one after another I think).

      Dream signs or oddities that captured my attention in the dream, funny/interesting moments in bold.

      FM = false memory

      This is but a taste of what I dreamed. I know scenes were forgotten, and details.

      earlier:

      +(f) college friend FG: hands me a piece of fish, then a piece of chicken, I take a bite of both, they're both slimy

      +(f) I have FG in a headlock, I'm contemplating knocking him unconscious (editorial: serves him right for the slimy food!)

      The location seems to be the doorway of my sister's bedroom in childhood home, looking out into the hallway. I see FG's face up close to mine.

      later:

      + childhood home, neighbor tree with projectile-poop-shooting macaques, bathroom window, shower, visit neighbor & more macaque poop-dodging [it runs out of ammo]

      I'm in my childhood home, main floor, I'm really happy to be here. I open the sliding glass door in the dining room and go out onto the deck. I stand at the railing looking at the view and look down to the trees/plants in our neighbor's yards down the hill from us. The trees look wrong, something's different. I see one of them (sort of thick, tropical looking tree, tall and skinny, with large fat leaves) is so tall that it has bent over and reaches all the way to the trees/bushes underneath our deck. This is not good, since I think that animals can climb up this tree to reach our house.

      I notice movement in the tree, it turns out there's a "macaque" there about half-way up. It's attack is shooting a strong, tight stream of projectile poop+liquid from it's ass at high speed and far distances. This stream heads for me and hits me squarely in the chest / face. I detect a faint poopy smell. This is nasty. There is another macaque sitting quietly on top of the deck railing where it meets the house on the right, quietly.

      I head to the bathroom upstairs to take a shower. There is a macaque on the roof, opening the window, I rush to close and secure the window. Macaque opens it again, I close it and try to secure it, I can't seem to lock it shut. I take shower.

      I am now in the house/yard of the house below ours where the "macaque tree is." I look up and see the projectile-poop-shooting macaque is still there. It shoots a few weaker streams in my direction which I successfully doge, it's running "out of ammo." A few last nuggets of poop fall out of its butt. The people who live there are moving away. I ask "you're taking the macaques with you, right?" They say "no." I say "oh God these macaques will be unsupervised."

      + adult home [First time both prior homes visited in one night!]: floor uneven, neighbor fence reduced, garage stairs & hamsters, male being & genitals, outdoors and young men making out

      I'm walking through the rooms of my prior adult home. I am thoroughly enjoying being back here. I look at the gorgeous hardwood oak floors. I notice in one room there is a depression in the floor, an uneven area like the floor has partially collapsed down there, a few feet long and a few inches wide, I look at it for a while confused, that wasn't here when we lived here. I walk past my kids old bedrooms and think how they'd like to see them again. I head to the master bedroom and go out the sliding glass door to the back/side yard. My attention is instantly drawn to the fence across from my, it's completely different from how it used to be. Instead of a uniform height, the fence at the point right across from the master bedroom door become half height (full height going off to the left), extending all the way to the right edge of the property. The neighbor's yard (M) is fully exposed and visible, I see the plants, trees, and a dog running around there. I also see into the yard of the house beyond them [FM, no such house], because the fence on the far side of M's yard is also half-height.

      I walk along the fence to the right a bit, then two young girls, M's daughters [FM, M has only one adult daughter] are sitting there, (I get a no-panties up skirt peek at one of them?), they go running into the house to get a present for us they prepared for our return. I wonder where M is?

      I go down the stairway (to a basement?) [FM, just short steps into garage], and while heading down I notice a small hamster cage on a high windowsill. It is 3/4 covered on top with a white cloth draped over it. I see one hamster clearly inside. I'm confused, I thought our hamsters died a long time ago, the new owners must have bought new ones?

      Heading back up the stairs with a bunch of chidden, it's hard to get through the opening, I instead manage to pry open the door and the kids can easily get through.

      I'm right next to a (young man? A male being, maybe not human) sitting in a (large hamster cage?) He's rubbing his genitals in the bark at the bottom of the cage, this will increase his power? He's rubbing back and forth, there's not much "down there". Then I look again and he has a large, erect penis. I think "uh oh looks like he achieved his power."

      Outdoors in the backyard, I'm talking to someone but my attention is caught by a sight I see through a window/the walls inside the house, two young men making out. Better not to disturb them.

      +(f) preparing to question guide about equipment in large indoor dock

      +(f) trying to access bank account with banker, keep entering access code wrong, 90-degree left rotated "c" (is is a "u"?)

      I ask the banker "will I be able to access my <my bank's name> account through this system?" He says/nods "yes." Can't enter the code correctly. Funny "u" character that looks like a "c" rotated on its side, or an "o" with just a small bit of the top missing"

      +(f) long narrow walk-in shower with ex-GF SB [non-sexy]

      I'm maneuvering past SB to get to the water.
    10. 2015-01-30 Comp (SCoAA) night #6: George Soros, video game, embarrassing moment

      by , 01-30-2015 at 08:48 AM
      +(f) discussing some device with some guys? (Forgot this, it was a full dream's worth of interaction just on the tip of my tongue)

      + plotting to attack George Soros who was giving personal tours of his luxurious mansion and the incredible lands around it which he had no right to buy (valuable public lands)

      I'm observing an absolutely gorgeous outdoor scene, the landscape is amazing, and huge, highly ornamented castles loom in the far distance. I see in the medium distance across a river that a boat full of people is slowly moving about. I see "George Soros" there, he has bought these lands despite their important historical significance.

      I'm discussing with a guy who seems lost about where we are on a map, we're (plotting to take back these lands from Soros?)

      + playing the "best video game" which wasn't all that fun

      I'm approaching a video game arcade, there are small boys running in and playing various game, there's a pinball game I want to play but a boy is playing it, I sit down in front of a driving game console, this is supposed to be one of the best games. I start playing it, and the graphic are fairly poor: it's a 3-d game where you drive/fly through a trench which turns, twists, and the elevation goes up and down. And large things (huge beings, other things) fall down from the top and you must avoid them. These things are called "suicide <something>s".

      + son S2 and his friends walked in on me in a personal moment, I'm mortified; KS calls me out of the blue and tells me "<name>, I love you", I think it's a prank call (from S2's friends); see son S2 in a new store, he spots me, we exchange words

      I'm sitting naked on my bed (in my childhood room? perhaps) and preparing some "personal time", when my son S2 and a few of his friends quickly walk from the next room through my room, I hear (girls?) twittering and giggling and declaring "Oh my GOD, he was NAKED!" as they pass out the door and beyond, I"m absolutely mortified, I'm trying to turn off my computer screen but it won't turn off, it's too late, the damage was done in an instant.

      I'm walking through some multi-level enclosed large stairwell I think I see S2 and his friends in the far distance on the road below. I get a call, it's a female voice, "This is KS, " (my junior high sweetheart), I'm quite surprised to be hearing from her, some more dialogue, maybe she's coming to visit?, then, "Oh, and <my name>, I love you…". This doesn't seem right. I say "You *love* me….? I think this is a prank call…OK, you can come to me, and *prove* your love". I turn to rush home since she lives nearby and will be there soon. I'm climbing/jumping up lots of stairs.

      I see up ahead my son S2 enter a store who's door is on a landing. He says/narrates "I like to visit new stores", I see him go in and look around, I walk up and crouch down under the front counter, he seems me and says "don't try to hide, I see you…" and mentions that he's not happy about his friends seeing me naked, "you could have put on a cover or something…" I in turn am not happy with him letting his friends make fun of me, I say angrily, "you could have managed the situation to stop the comments…"

    11. 2015-01-29 Comp (SCoAA) night #5: ducks and dildos

      by , 01-29-2015 at 10:03 AM
      Working on adopting a new night-time mindset focused more on lucidity, so just one dream.

      Late to-bed

      00:52 pre-bedtime
      01:30 (?) bedtime

      Many small wakings during the night. The mindset of "the night is for rest, and for lucid dreaming" quickly returns to me. I do not stay up long at these wakings, but return to "rest" resulting in sleep. I notice each time my wife is snoring, pretty much through the entire night, but this does not keep me awake since I do not stay awake for long.

      I do not record during the night, just keeping "ducks" in my memory is enough

      08:00

      + duck migration, frozen water, then fresh water, drinking, duck mated pairs; dildo school (for ducks?)

      I'm flying DO over a frozen lake. Several ducks below land on the lake smacking into the ice and sliding to the edge of the shore. Narrator heard saying "ducks cannot tell if a lake is frozen from the air so they must dedicate themselves to a landing and take their chances vs. a possibly frozen lake".

      I'm down with the ducks, there is "a rumor" of fresh unfrozen water farther on, I wonder how far it is and if this is reliable info? I fly DO right on the tail and a bit to the right of one of the ducks. Land at a small, fairly dirty looking unfrozen pool. There's another fresher pool nearby. I have a up close view on the ground in the face of one duck, I have a strong affection for this particular animal, I watch while it dips its bill into the water and takes a long drink. (I think about kissing this duck?)

      Scene near a "hen-house" with ducks hanging around. Narrator talks about how these ducks (34, 40 years old) are mated pairs (for life?).

      Inside the house there are a bunch of topless girls ("ducks?") with small breasts. There is a dildo class in session, an instructor (male/female can't tell!) is pulling out a long dildo from his/her body, it's mounted on the end of a 2-foot rod. The instructor moves to demonstrate insertion again?

      View changes to a close up of a diagram from a text-book, showing a body canal in several different states, based on the different creams that can be put on the dildo. There is a "narrowing effect" that makes the canal tighter (I'm assuming this is the preferred effect), and an expansion effect that makes the entire canal enlarged. This option is marked with a warning that this can result in a requirement of dialysis. There are about 4 effects shown on the page in total.

    12. 2015-01-26 Comp (SCoAA) night #2: bikini block party, "real" game, club house, walls have ears

      by , 01-26-2015 at 10:15 AM
      A decent night before WBTB turned into a great recall night after WBTB and successful BTS (back to sleep).

      23:30 pre-bedtime
      00:00 (?) bedtime

      06:26

      +(f) bunch of dogs digging in a hole in a little hut, "dig dig dig dig dig dig!" someone (me?) says, "where's the hole? where's the hole? where's the hole?"

      + picking and eating red/blue berries from a bush; showing people around AH, our old bike jumps, 'lost my two front teeth"

      A number of people are standing around a tangled, medium-sized berry bush. There are blue and red colored berries, I'm looking to try to find the best berries.

      I'm walking along the main street on AH showing some people around: we reach the "end" of the street where there is a fairly large dirt pile. I explain that this is a bicycle jump, one of the many that we build on the hill. We walk back the other way towards the berry bush. I'm saying there are jumps all over the hill and we used to ride all over the hill doing this jumps, and that is how I knocked out my two front teeth.

      + kayaking homeschool, fast, sleek kayaks, channels between the reeds, rain

      I'm floating through narrow channels of water amongst tall reeds. Children are zipping by paddling kayaks at fairly high speed. They are really good at it. This is a homeschool where they teach kayaking, it's an integral part of the curriculum, you wouldn't be able to do this in a normal school. The kayaks are sleek. Small girls are paddling them, at high speed, I'm admiring their skills. It starts raining, I imagine they must go inside and wait for the rain to stop before continuing kayaking, what will they do inside?

      + outdoors outside building, google project(?), the walls have ears (typos), people digging up, record and print my words

      Outside a large concrete building on a sloping lawn with a group of young people, like outside a University building at a college. I'm talking, I'm saying lots of things. At some point I realize that my words are verbatim appearing as text on the walls of the building we're next to. "The walls have ears!" I exclaim. I see that even my mis-pronounced words are recreated exactly using "typos" in the words on the wall. This is some sort of privacy-invading project run by Google. Suddenly a team of workers appears, they begin digging around the base of the building, pulling up plates of concrete. Something we've said is "against their rules" and so they must enter the machinery and erase it from memory.

      + fire alarm/brigade, drive through town (deja vu), moving extremely heavy concrete blocks car prototype ('sorry, no fire'), club house 2 men workers installing diagonal windows ("look out, or they'll 'get' us") girl digs out extra room, keys on shelf, throwing tokens, change shirt, drink of water (dip whole cup?)

      I'm a fireman? on a fire truck responding to an alarm, we enter a city and must wind our way in between buildings, I've been here I think, have to find the fire. Arrive at some building and get off and encounter a group of people moving incredibly heavy constructs made from cement/cinder blocks. They are building a prototype (vehicle?) from these blocks, and they're working on solving the problem of the large blocks slipping. Should I help them move? I don't.

      I'm replacing keys and a small fob-like device on some shelf, I'm looking for the right place to put them, I see some keys and put them with the keys.

      Some pranksters are throwing things at me? I go outside and dip my hand into a pouch by the door and pick up a handful of little stuffed-toy-animal-eyes (the sort where the 'pupil' moves inside a clear container) and throw them at the guys, they're amazed that I took it for so long without responding.

      I have to take off and change my shirt.

      I'm observing a small side-buidling, in one area two men workers are working on installing large glass windows that are diagonal with the top more outside and the bottoms more inside. If we're not careful they're "get us" and "even we [meaning the guys] are not safe." There are more girls in our group than guys. There is a small room to the right of the workmen's room, it's packed full of some material (crumpled up paper?), and a girl from our group enters this room and starts using her legs as a piston to clear out the room, compacting and clearing out the material. At some point the room is clear, I'm looking at it wondering if she's going to use the room for herself, she discovers me looking in the window into this room.

      I'm in the clubhouse carrying a plastic cup approaching a big container of fresh water, I want a drink: should I just dip my whole cup into the water directly? (Is the cup clean?)

      07:00 ? up for WBTB

      go to kitchen, sit with cat, drink cup of milk and eat a small chunk of rye bread

      07:45 ?) back to sleep

      Feel deep wells of drowsiness, aim to sink deeply into it and fall asleep fast. I'm able to ignore sound disturbances and fall asleep.

      + bikini block party

      I'm outdoors in daylight, one some typical suburban street. All the neighbors are out lounging around. In the middle of the street two girls are lying in bikinis on a very large picnic blanket that extents from the middle of the street up onto the sidewalk. The girls are lying on it in the middle of the street. They say something (but I forgot).

      My wife and I are standing in front of a group of girls/woman in bikinis on their front lawn and sidewalk. Farther up the lawn is a very tanned (including the face) of a woman in a sexy black bikini, it's so tight that a camel-toe is very pronounced, and I sneak several peeks at this.

      There are two girls at our feet in bikinis, one is on an air mattress, which starts to leak. Did we pop it? I get down on the ground and try to re-inflate it while the girl is still lying on it. I'm blowing into it but air is still escaping, there must be a leak. The 2nd girl is to the right and my right arm is rubbing firmly against her left leg (she's lying on her stomach) and I really enjoy this contact. The air-mattress girl gets up and I keep trying to inflate the mattress, I pat the mattress several times and it seems to me holding air now.

      + red quarterstaff

      I'm in a room with a closet. I go to the closet and inside I see a big collection (10+) of "quarterstaffs" in tall leather holsters hanging there. They're all dark with one exception of a bright red one, I snort and say of COURSE I'll select the red one. These staffs have been placed here by (my patron? lover? Some male [ew!]). I take it out into the room and withdraw the staff from the holster. (It's more the size and shape of a Tae Kwon Do stick). At one end of the stick is a gel grip, I grab it and feel for the grip it gives. I notice the opposite side of the stick has a longer grip, it must be the base, I grab a hold of it and get an instant thrill of the sensation of the grip. It's not a gel grip, I notice it's some sort of luxurious fur, and run my finger in it and look closely at it for a few moments.

      + super hero costume leggings

      I'm some house, super hero family?, the men need to go out and rescue some of the women(?), I say "bring me my costume" and a guy brings it to me and I start putting it on: it's knitted leggings/hose, of multiple colors like a rainbow. As I pull up the hose over my legs I start noticing imperfections and larger holes in the hose. These were supposed to be brand new! I mention the holes and the guy says "you should have checked them before putting them on."

      + terrifying train ride, fast food leftovers

      I'm holding on to the left outside of a large train locomotive while it is moving forwards. The train track has a wall along the left side which is getting disturbingly closer to me, I may be squished! I'm trying to lean my head out farther to the left to look ahead to see if the wall opens up or closes more, but the train is going so fast and there are things jutting out from the wall so I dare not stick my head out and I hold tightly to the train while the wall closes in on me. The train reaches and intersection and stops and there is some director man on the ground, who starts criticizing the train engineer for stopping, my wife is the engineer. The guy says "distracted female driver is not paying attention!" my wife responds by immediately starting the train forwards again, I'm calling in a foreign language "Honey! …. Darling!" trying to catch her attention so I can climb in to the cab. She does not hear me.

      I'm on top of the front of the train, slowly directing it along a very curvy path. A sharp left turn comes up, I see the two parallel tracks. I think we can make it if we go really slowly. We make it. We're trying to get back to the street. We approach a fast-food restaurant and I direct the train to drive through it?

      I'm walking through the restaurant looking at the tables and the leftovers there. I see a very small mini-cat jump into the leftovers on a table and dig in eating vigorously. I walk by one table and notice it has a small cardboard box filled with one of the specials: a pile (dozens) of small circular meat patties piled deep in the box. Something like this:



      + shark slide hill inflatable ride

      I'm riding up a large inflatable slide ride on some inflatable boat. It is a water ride. As we're nearing the top I get concerned about a shark attack. Our boat is near the left side of the water near the "hard ground" and I want to get off because it will be safe there. Right here on the shore in the water is a dangerous position. We right back down the slide, just about all the way to the bottom, and I think how are we going to get back up again?


      + (near miss) the video game that seemed so real (white bladed dagger & short sword, tools, dice, family's voices), touching chairs, digging out wall panels

      Semi-lucid. I'm in an indoor location and I recognize that I am not in a waking/"real" environment. I'm amazed at how solid and real things look and feel, like the wooden knob on top of the back of a chair, I touch it and think it feel like waking. I rationalize the thoughts by imagining that I'm inside some ultra-realistic virtual reality video game. There are little cubbies against the wall, and a number of discolored places where I dig into and find items. I find a small white-bladed knife embedded in one of these wall holes and pull it out. I notice grates on the floor leading to passage ways below(?). I continue pulling out white-bladed devices: one has a very short blade, one is longer, and a third one which is an indeterminate device. I hang all 3 of them on my utility belt.

      I hear the voices of family members (son S2), and I imagine they're just beyond the wall in the next room. I'm concerned that if they enter in my room that they will disturb this game experience and it will end. (Probably incorporating waking voices into the dream).

      I'm back in the cubbies along the floor next to the wall finding things. I find a strange multi-faceted game die, 20-side I think, but it's more egg-shaped than spherical. I also find two normal cube-shaped 6-sided dice. I imagine I must roll these dice and the outcome will direct what I must do next in the game. I put these dice into my pockets which I think are getting quite full.


      + (f) meyer's lemon tree

      Detailed recall still a bit down but dreaming up again, thankfully! Lots of scenes

      02:07 bedtime (aaaaa!!!! LATE!)

      early:
      + scene ending with (looking for babies?) around a swimming pool, some kid lunges at me he has cat heads instead of hands at the end of his arms

      + mercilessly heckled while trying to give a professional talk, the twins pin me against the wall

      I'm standing in a large open lab room at work. I'm giving a talk about my extensive personal experience, this is a talk I've given before IWL. I'm describing the very surprising aspect of the system that turns out to be the most complex, because it involves an undocumented legacy system. My audience are people to the left, but a guy to the right across the room starts heckling me, questioning my authority to speak on this. I do a quick calculation and mention "This is my career, I've been doing this (calculate…) 24 years" (almost right, 25 actually). The heckling does not stop. There is conflict with a pair of (blonde?) young men/twins. They pin me against a wall at one point.

      later:
      09:30

      + I quit because the stock was going to reverse split again, some people had been fired

      + (f) vending machine

      + new room, but view is from parent's house, beautiful colorful view, blinds & drapes can close completely for excellent darkness for dreaming

      I'm standing in a room with dark walls, looking out the window. Outside is it bright daylight. The window has both blinds and drapes on it. Excellent, I think I can close these for a completely dark room (which will be great for dreaming?)

      + fascinated by the 4-way folding, retracting porcelain toilet, while peeing into it, multiple toilets in the room

      I need to pee, I go into the bathroom, it's in a house, I start using one close to the door but think I'll be seen so I move to one farther back away from the door. It's just a tall rectangular thing with no toilet bowl, I bump a place on the top of the tank and the toilet bowl emerges, "unfolding" from within in 4 equal quarters that merge together into a single toilet bowl. There is a lotus-flower-like center piece in the middle of the bowl (which is the pee target?). While I'm peeing the bowl starts to unfold and retract again, so I bump the lever and the bowl re-emerges fully.

      + searching for suitcase at airport, led on wild goose chase by baggage handler back to where I began

      I'm in a small group of people, I have two suitcases (and luggage tags?) my sweatshirt is on the ground(?), I give my suitcases in but need them again, I start looking for them, I stand on some platform that shoots up high suddenly (luggage loading platform?), I find a baggage guy and give him the (tag number?), he leads me through rooms and the path gets progressively more narrow until I can no longer make forwards progress. I see through a crack in the wall the same group I started with, I've been lead in a circle back to where I began!

      + killed by crowd/bad girl in a school cafeteria, she wants to leave town but her b/f says no way

      I'm in a school cafeteria, across the room by the windows a smallish boy (an enemy) is walking with a baseball bat. I'm pretty sure I can take him. I can use a chair as a shied held in front of me, and if I close the distance to him quickly I can be on him before he has a chance to make a proper swing at me. I'm now by the window, and the group is approaching, I think if they impale me (on a spike?) they'll kill me, they do it and I die, the bad girl to my right killed me. I tell her "you're a murderer" she says "yeah, I am." She gets up and walks towards the entrance and says "I need to get out of town," her (also bad) boyfriend says "no way, I was with you" (he's concerned that if she runs he'll be caught because it's known he spent time with her).

      + refrigerator door/shelf stuck, fix the stuck hinge, they took my drink, "I really lose my temper when people drink my Kemper!" armful of bottles, girl with long red hair says she's heard everything

      I'm looking into a refrigerator. The door is stuck, doesn't open well, I move it back and forth a few times. I notice that there are a series of clear plastic hinges running down the left side of the shelves, and I see one of them is stuck out of position. I move it back to position and the door/shelve now moves freely.

      I'm looking for my bottles of drink, I can't find them. I'm upset at first but figure ah well a lot of people live here. Then I have a lot of soda-like bottles in my arms and I'm struggling to hold them all.

      A girl with long red hair appears, looks at me, and says something like "I've heard everything." I'm a bit concerned by this.

      + in a show, half-man actor appears out of ground and scoots around the ground with a taped-on nose "costume", I think it's degrading.

      On a black-walled black-floored stage, a half-man (head and torso but no hips/legs) emerges from a hole in the stage floor and on a small scoot-cart, he pulls himself around with his arms. I notice there is a small fake nose taped on top of his real nose. I think he's an experienced actor and playing this stupid role in this bad show is probably degrading for him.

      + tucking gun into front pants while riding in little go-cart, friend says must be bold, enemy group walking by

      I'm sitting in a small go-cart rolling with a friend, I'm trying to tuck a pistol into the front of my pants. My friend says you have to be bold and act fiercely, a group of our enemies is approaching and passing by me on the left.

    14. 2015-01-22 washing machine, toe cavity, earthquake, motorcycle, drink in restaurant, old home

      by , 01-22-2015 at 09:51 AM
      01:06 ugh late, behind schedule

      early:

      There were probably more dreams, I don't get up, catching up on sleep

      + cooking steak for the family & cousins (on a grill / in a toaster oven?), they're impatient and I'm serving them

      I keep slicing pieces of the steak off to serve them and so the remaining pieces will cook faster.

      09:16

      + earthquake while sitting on floor talking to guy; wrapping a present package/book; inspecting/pulling thing out of toenail find a huge rotting cavity in toe with rotten teeth growing in it; mini-portable washer/dryer, runs on a hose, can I take it home?; spreading out the soap in a running washing machine; see books on wall, kids would feel nostalgic about their old rooms

      I'm sitting on the floor in a room talking to some guy when I think I feel the entire floor moving. I say "is that an earthquake?" I'm sure it's an earthquake. The whole floor is moving back and forth, up and down, it's doing this for a while.

      I'm inspecting my toenail on my big toe (same place, with same guy?), I see a little "chunk" of something (fluff? nail? tooth?) at the right corner where the nail meets the toe, I pull it out with some tool. I see a little hole see some black rot and look closer and discover a huge cavity there it's like the entire toe is hollow, inside there are soft rotten teeth growing I'm digging around in there to get them out, it's nasty.

      I'm looking at a cute little portable washer/dryer machine, it's sitting on top of the full-sized washer and dryer, I'm talking to my parents about it. I think it's just large enough to be able to wash a single piece of underwear and a single shirt together. There is a coiled up garden hose around it, this is the water supply. It's cube shaped and about the size of a bowling ball polishing device or microwave oven. I wonder if I can take this back home with me on the plane.

      I'm standing in a room in my old house, I see a book/toy shelf on the wall and think my kids would be nostalgic for their old/childhood rooms if they came here. I'm not sure if I'm in son S2's room or the office, probably the office I decide since there's a book shelf there.

      I'm wrapping a present, it's a book, I pull off a piece of tape from the roll and it gets folder over on itself and isn't sticky any more. I pull it apart then attach it to the wrapping to the book, then pull off another piece of take and do the other side, it's not very well wrapped.

      + annoyed by noisy motorcycle, he pulls up, his wheels are shredded, sis and bro-in-law are helping him

      Talking outside with sister and brother-in-law, a really loud motorcycle is riding around it's very annoying, he rides up to us and stops right next to us, I start to tell him off but I say "Hey,…" then the words catch in my mouth and I decide not to say anything more. His suit/motorcycle are blue and orange. I notice the tires on his wheels are entirely shredded, that's where all the noise is coming from. There's some rubber/left on the front wheel but on the back wheel he's riding on the bare rims basically. He mentions that he's in line at the free motorcycle repair clinic at the park but in about 50th position. My sister/brother-in-law move to help him with his wheels.

      + order a chili dog with soy sauce

      In a cafeteria line, order a chili dog with some soy sauce.

      + walking up a street and see "cave paintings" outside a bar on the wall, local "Cossacks"

      I think, "Where there Cossacks in B.?"

      + in a restaurant with an asian young man friend. The restaurant is packed, every table is full. He's pouring me drinks and we're drinking. Purplish drink (IWL I was in an asian-themed restaurant for dinner yesterday and had a tasty hot purple fruit/berry tea). I drink from the spout on the irregularly shaped rim of the glass and he says "if you drink from there then (….ARGH forgot what he said)," I jokingly responded "yeah that's what I'm doing". He offers to pour me some "nutrient boost?" which is also purplish, then he pours a huge amount in my glass, I'm concerned about that much, I don't want to get diarrhea.

    15. 2015-01-21 morphing armor, bear w/gas mask, toilet, hot topless girl, carry/touch naked girl

      by , 01-21-2015 at 09:53 PM
      23:49 bedtime

      00:00 2015-01-21

      A number of dreams, didn't record, still catching up on sleep

      06:14

      + monitoring some countdown across parallel screens high up from the ground; they say don't eat the green pizza (I ate it anyway)

      + (f) (brother in law and sister at concert?)

      + fight! chrome-mirror armor black fins morph inside; disarm woman, partner and I fight her

      It starts with a close up view of my (guy) partner's armor: I see the chest and shoulders. It is full-body plate mail that is so shiny and reflective that it looks like polished chrome. It has a lot of (blackish) wavy/frilly ornamentation/fins on it near the joints. These "fins" are a disadvantage in battle since the opponent could use them to get a grip on you. So in preparation for the battle, I observer as the armor morphs, "sucking in" the fins inside the armor and closing the gaps so that only shiny chrome remains. This happens 3-4 times.

      Then the battle begins. It's me and armor-guy against a woman. As soon as the "go" signal is given I instantly bat my hand at the woman's weapon and disarm her. We are fighting on the outside of some sort multi-story structure with many different platforms of elevation. Her weapon goes clattering down to the "moat" around the structure on the ground, I jump/fly down to pick it up to make sure she remains unarmed.

      The partner amor-guy is pommeling the woman and gets her "down to 3 hit points" left, at which point she inexplicably recovers and goes on the offensive.

      06:18 back to sleep

      06:47 can't sleep, wife's snoring/breathing loudly, get up go to kitchen, drink milk, work on laptop/chat a bit with Sensei

      I'm really upset that I can't sleep. I'm missing the best REM of the day! But I start to feel tired eventually then decide to rush to bed before it gets too late. Wife is still a bit noisy and traffic is starting outside for the morning rush but I feel tired and I aim directly for sleep and I fall asleep in just a minute or so.

      In fact, this may be an ideal wake/sleep pattern on days when I can sleep in. If I had tried MILD I may have had a good shot at lucidity since the dreams were fairly aware. But I was so concerned about getting to sleep that I just aimed directly for instant unconsciousness, and I nailed it.

      08:27 back to bed

      10:42

      + adventure with guy with power shoes who can enter pictures, I show him the power can work even without pictures

      He finds these magical shoes, I'm walking around with him and look at pictures/scenes with roman-looking column work. I'm telling him that he can use the power without needing images, it's up to his imagination.

      + wife chastises son S2, he's with his GF and one guy friend, they give wife nasty look, his GF writes me a message

      My son is playing a video game with his girlfriend and another friend. My wife chastises him for wasting time, they stop and come out of the room, his girlfriend gives my wife a nasty look. I receive an (email?) from her and read it, it has something like she really likes fathers that "….???…" I think about this message later on in the night and wonder if she "liked" me.

      + see son S2 in small room with another girl, playing with animals, I enter, play with animals, huge black bear outside room wearing a gas mask

      I see my son S2 in a little play house in a room, with another girl, and they're playing with some animal. I go in and look at the animal (like an otter?). Then it's a sort of a dog, and I'm taking off some underwear with scratch mark/poo on it, and the dog gets its nose tangled in the underwear smelling it, and I'm trying to get it away from the dog thing when I glance to the left and THERE'S A HUGE BLACK BEAR sitting just outside the playhouse. I think "oh man I'm a goner." The little playhouse will crumple with a single touch of this massive bear's giant paws, then this huge bear will surely maul me. I see wavy like white things where the claws should be. I think of my pepper spray and start to take it out of my bag to try to scare away the bear by spraying its face, then I get a better look at its face (it's wearing a hood?), and I see IT'S WEARING A GAS MASK! Argh, there's no hope. Some point later I'm outside the play house and the bear is reduced to the size of a small stuffed animal.

      + waiting to go to toilet in middle of room, more cleaning women just keep entering, shoo them away, room bounces on waves

      I walk into a room, it's a fairly large indoor room, in the middle of the room on a sort of a raised platform is a toilet. There is some writing on the closed lid of the toilet and I'm walking around the toilet to try to read it. There are also some red "alignment marks" on the closed lid, and there are matching red alignment marks on the floor. Cleaning woman come in from a staff room to the side and tells me that I need to stand on the red floor marks to use the toilet. I tell her I understand this and I'm trying to read the writing on the lid. I'm walking around the toilet waiting for the cleaning people to leave so I can pee. More and more cleaning women come in. After waiting for a while I tell them in a foreign language, "I NEED TO USE THE TOILET." Most leave to the utility room except one. I can't wait so I whip out the thang and start to go, but now I'm standing not over the toilet by in an area closer to the windows and this utility door. I imagine she may get a peek at my (ahem). It's out and I see it, longer than waking (woohoo). The entire room/building starts rocking violently up and down like it's riding on waves, and I look up and out the tall glass wall windows (dream sign) out on to a lake. I think big waves come in from that lake and cause this entire building to move like this (I don't see any waves on the lake though).

      + see stunning topless masseuse/escort walking outside going into another building, building a rug store

      I'm walking outdoors towards an entrance to a fairly large high-tech style building. A woman has left a door to my left and is also heading for the same entrance as me, our paths will intersect at the door we're heading for and she's on my left. I notice she's a stunningly beautiful young lady and her top is entirely open and her lovely breasts are completely exposed. I imagine she works in a masasge/escort spa and is on break, and that she doesn't care if she's exposed.

      I enter the building and a large store within the building. I glance at another naked young woman who's running by, and see her (fairly small) breasts and also her exposed v-jay. I enter an opening in a railing to the (checkout area?) of this store. I glance behind me and see a man doing remodeling work in a large enclosed store-within-the-store and think this will be a rug factory/store, and they'll have trouble because there's already another rug store in this complex.

      + altercation with annoying guy in aerobics class who taunts me

      I'm in an aerobics class. The teacher and the students are all shuffling to the left, then come back shuffling to the right. I'm standing in place because I think this shuffling is stupid. I'm standing, with my legs spread out and leaning far forwards doing a stretch. The class moves around me, and some guy behind me starts taunting me about the fat around my ankles (!). I stand up and face him, he continues to insult me, and I respond with some insults to him (forgot the dialogue), at some point I push him down(?).

      + kissing a girl

      Quick kiss at first, she's responsive, I go for more lips action, get lucid as I wake up moving my lips?

      + surprised by old house cleaner woman who slept on couch, enter garage girl's passed out, she's naked, I carry her to the bathroom in my arms, have some fun

      I'm striding in to the kitchen of my prior adult house (I recognize the location only after waking up). As I pass the opening to the family room on the left an older woman quickly strides out of the family room into the kitchen ahead of me. She's wearing a (pink?) robe and looks like she's wearing rollers in her hair and looks like she just woke up. I'm a bit surprised/startled at her presence, I think the's the cleaning/helper woman and she must have arrived last night and spent the night. I glance to the left into the family room and notice a makeshift bed set up on a couch. We both go to the garage door and open it. Standing immediately inside the door with her face pointing to the right is some other woman. She looks stunned/woozy. She immediately falls forward flat on her face onto the ground behind the washer and dryer, she's passed out. I'm trying to pick her up. I eventually get her in my arms with her head to the left and her feet to the right.

      Spoiler for sexually explicit:
      then wake up.
