+ fight / blade / gold room boomerang / eliza

+ aerobics class starting up in the gym, indian woman hogs the equipment

+ in class, looking at girls outside in hallway, one buxom one presents a full naked side boob view, someone taunts our class, girls are cowering in a pile and whining that the boys should defend them

Spoiler for bunch of nudity:

+ in a van, my "yurt" with a fur-lined upper level is just outside, I keep looking at it, a half-naked (bottomless) girl climbs up to the fur floor of the yurt and sticks her butt out while kneeling, I have a side view, I think if I go out there I'll get an eyefull. Girls appear in the van, I see a topless one with freckles everywhere and I exclaim because she has exquisite breasts. In the driver's seat one girl is sort of choking/dominating another girl, pressing her hand up against her chin and forcing her head all the way back, another girl presents a bottomless view with a "shave shadow". I'm taking it all in.

+ attack response preparations begin. The troops are gathering. I see that the missile silos have been fired up. "Oh God, they've even fired up the missile silos."
Then the Star Wars "Force Theme" and I say "Could you at least not play the Star Wars music?". Refugees are getting on a vehicle to take them away, people are going over a gangplank. A bus tries to go across the gangplank but a guy stops it with his hand. People and I get on the bus. I'm saying "Well at least we'll make it to Siberia, where you can find places with water and nature, but ", I joke, "the mosquitoes are the size of birds." Someone then says "yeah, but the place where there are sunsets and rivers are the hottest places."

The bus driver then directs the bus to head up a steep stairway, and I wonder how it could make progress, but it makes it up OK. On a landing part-way up the hill, on the left, I see a few marijuana plants prominently growing. There is even a sign there, "Marijuana." I say, "OH, LOOK! MAR-EE-JOO-AH-NA!" emphasizing every syllable.

(early)
+ flying through hallways, some sort of college dorm? I reach the end and do something with a (note?) for my former GF, KS.

+ I'm at a swimming pool, about to swim some laps, it is crowded, there are some less crowded lanes on right, and I think about getting in those lanes. Then I'm outside, there's another pool there, including an odd triangular section of the pool on a heavily slanting incline, gravity is adjusted perpendicular to the surface as you step on to it. I'm aware of the moment of the transition of the direction of gravity.

(mid)
+ [very vivid] former CA home: in garage, super confused about water heater: what happened to it? It was switched out by somebody to a tank of tiny capacity. Moving back and forth through the kitchen/garage door, inspecting the heater furnace, and wall structure (roof is supported by metallic cylinders at 45 degree angle).

Dealing with neighbors in the shared garden: at first they're smoking, and standing on our side of the yard ownership line. There is a lit cigarette hanging from a tree on a line with smoke rising from it. The neighbors are standing leaning against the fence and smoking. I point out that "this is our side, that is your side."

Later on, I'm standing inside my house and look out to the yard, and see that the neighbors have piled up boxes/chests of equipment along a low fence on our side of the yard. I instantly shout out "NO, NO, NO!" (in foreign language) and run out to the yard. They have placed a collection of antique typewriters on a table there in the yard, they're all a gift to me (?). I'm inspecting them and see all the complex mechanisms inside them.

BTS here? (or in earlier section). Awake for a while, I get myself back to sleep by concentrating on feelings of gratitude and loving kindness, and a bit of the throat Ah visualization.

(late)

+ Sitting with people outside in stadium-style seating (on benches on a steep incline) [DREAM SIGN]. My head is leaning against a woman/girlfriend: my right chin/cheek is pressed firmly against her left breast, I feel the softness, my right arm is around her back and I'm holding on to her waist and caressing and squeezing it. And she is rocking me so gently, it's very hypnotic/relaxing. I think it's inappropriate and my wife would object, but it is so comfortable that I just go with it for a while.

We get up as a group and head down the stairway towards the ground level, then once there, <something about regrouping>

Then we're getting together to watch TV sitting on a wide bench/couch thing, and I arrange it so that my girlfriend is on my left right next to me, then (my wife?) comes up and I indicate that she should sit on my right (so I can be close to my girlfriend) but instead of moving how I suggested, she stands there facing us and looking suspicious.

+(f) some large animal (cat? rabbit?) is inside a room with a tiny door and a small being is avoiding it?

Just a short outtake, there were more fragments during the night, with many wakings.

+ flight simulator? Handling the landing velocity is taken care of in a roller-coaster-like ride in a (boat?) on a (river?) or a long, curving path with the edges lined with green metallic sheets that our vehicle rubs up against on all the turns.

+(f) march: the band is marching through the streets and trying to choose the right path to the final concert site. I announce to the crowd that "This was made possible by <mother's name>"

+(f) playing my instrument, I'm playing fast scales up and down and arpeggios and it sounds great, I'm impressing the people around me.

+(f) [vivid] in an apartment, I'm observing all-white furniture like a desk with a roll-down top, and I'm thinking about how I'd dust it: wipe it or vacuum it?

+(f) I'm outdoors in a courtyard, daylight, there are businesses nearby and some of (my friends?) are trying to use the ATM? I see a woman nearby who triggers a strong sense of deja view, I know I saw her before (in an earlier dream?) and I do a nose pinch RC, I can breath, but I don't get lucid and the dream ends/transitions?

+(f) observing a US football play in a game, a lot of women on the offense including the quarterback, she does a long/strong forward shovel pass that is incomplete, and there is also a punt that went to the left side of the field but should have gone to the right?

+(f) something about giving someone my dental work in a bag?

+ in a grocery store with an attractive girl and (her boyfriend?) I'm supposed to show her to the coffee section, I tease her that I can't do that because I need to go to the bathroom and I take her hand and start leading her through the store and she comes to understand that I'm actually taking her to the coffee section. Along the way I see people walking the other way with T-shirts that read "Utah - alone" and I think about Texas for some reason. We get to the coffee section and I think about her leaning over the refrigerator section and

Spoiler for sexual thought:

I'd reach between her legs and caress the skin of her perfect legs, since she's wearing jeans shorts

+(f) road car race, I'm driving in a car and racing with other cars along a winding hilly road

+ FPS game: I've ordered and set up a huge (1.5 meters on a side) square highres computer monitor on my bed against the wall. I'm standing at the end of the bed appreciating its huge and awesome picture. I'm anticipating playing the game, people will come and watch me here and be amazed. I will set up a stand for the controls. I think this is the reason I've ordered and installed this monitor. I have a brief thought of using it to view some salacious material but don't think of this long.

I sign in to the game and begin playing, then my view is in the game itself, not watching it on a screen. It's a CTF game. There are incoming enemy light armor guys going for my flag, I'm shooting them with a shotgun. Then I decide to go on the offensive. I slide down the very edge of the map on the right hand side. It is dark and hazy and there are large hills all around. I'm on a recon mission, scouting enemy base and territory. The closer I get to the enemy base the more "red triangle" (enemy team) characters I see. I'm sure I will be seen soon.

I'm "flying" along the top of a fence and approaching an intersection where tons of enemy combatants are walking around. Visuals become live action, not game-y or computer-y any more. Some leader walking on the ground sees me and calls me to come down. I get into a discussion with him, his name is (Dave?). I'm half walking/flying and talking with him, putting a hand on his shoulder blade and leading him along the street, telling him, "Dave, you know how this works, there is military intelligence and there is military action, " I think I say this a few times and the dream ends.

(early)

+(f) [vivid] I'm working on a computer system, the terminals are on the floor, I'm using them to enter various searches.
Something about animals (lions?). Vague things with people in buildings.

(late)

+ on 2nd floor of home, studying computer science (graphics), on the board is written something about a document/class that teaches about graphics curves/ splines, and each document (something to do with Python?) costs $10. Doorbell rings and I go down stairway to first floor, I think it may be my [deceased] mother at the door, I hear her voice? I wonder how it could be her? I get to the door and it's ToZi, he comes in I'm a bit unsure how to greet him I shake his hand. I've been looking for my graphics computer science textbook, my books are spread all over the place and I can't find them. He says that we do not need the paid documents, that we can do what we need with free Python resources(?)

+ LLM (lots of little moments) in (same?) house, first floor, it's a rental(?) we're on vacation with friends(?), getting ready to go to (the beach?), some interaction with the young boy and girl in the family. I'm thinking that my towel is still wet and that I need to get it and hang it up, I see a tall wooden drying rack with 3 solid colored (one green, one blue) towels already hanging on it.

I'm inspecting the wallboards that run along the walls at floor level. They're about 3-4 inches tall and appear wooden, I notice the grain. I'm following the line along the floor and trying to detect differences in the levels of the floor and the height of the floorboards. I finally see an uneven spot where two slightly different levels meet.

There is a bed lying on the floor, there is a mattress there and I turn it over thinking about what may be underneath it. The mattress is covered in a bright blue sheet with designs on it. I turn it over and am a bit surprised to see nothing is underneath it, it's lying right on the bare floor. There are things on the floor. One of them is a key of some short in the shape of a small rifle. It fits some thing and I realize I've finally found the key for the missing (lock?) I put it in and turn the key and it opens. I then hang the key on the object in a way that the key won't be lost again.

I'm in a convenience store and there are slices of cake nearby. One of them I think is red velvet. There are different kinds of thin, individually sliced pieces. I pick up a piece of white cake and bring it close to my face so I can read the nutritional information on the label. The piece falls out of my hand to the floor and it breaks into several pieces, falling behind a shelf/counter. I bend over to try to get to it but can't reach it. I imagine that the store owner has to deal with damaged inventory every day. At the register I'm getting change from the clerk and he's giving me lots of coins. There are 2-cents left in the change and I see that there are 1 (cent) coins left that he could give me, but he instead reaches for a blue surgical glove worth 2 cents to finish my change. I ask why can't he give me the coins instead and he says he can't.

I'm sitting at a dinner table with my (Indian) friends. There are different dishes. The mother who is working in the kitchen right behind a counter under shelves hands me a piroshki-shaped piece of soft, shaped, spiced mashed potatoes. I take a bite and think it's good. I see that she is working on the next dish which is made of small cups of brown and orange (lentils?).

(early, first/second sleep cycle)

+ martial arts class: teacher critiques my stance ("widen your stance, everyone's laughing at you, stop standing on the last toe joint, stand on the 2nd joint instead!"). I'm trying to copy his double fireball blast movement, it's a pattern where your body moves in a slow circle, with sweeping arm movements that shoot the double fireballs on each half-turn. I'm trying but my movements are clumsy.

+(f) in a room talking to people observing the decor on the walls, there is some transfer in management/ownership happening? I walk by a storefront on the street and the new owners are walking though and planning the remodel there are large (colorful butterflies?) evenly spaced on all the walls.

+(f) standing in group outside, we're getting ready to perform a big run and the guys are warming up on the road

Try to WILD, "mind awake body asleep" mantra, takes me a Looooooooooooooong time to fall asleep again.

(middle)
+ [long] fighting class? Hotel guests are arriving to? Working with personal trainer. Looking through a strange device that includes a sight scope, that apparently measures the amount of drift in your gaze. This whole place is a big club with standard advancement procedures, one of the options is signing up for the food basket and then growing/eating particular things out of the basket as measurement of progress.

+(f) flying into a tiny opening from outside a building in order to get inside, too small to fit into but I know that physical dimensions are not a limit and I fly headfirst into the opening, making a breaststroke swimming gesture with my arms to "pull" myself through the threshold

(late)

+ swimming in cold ocean with friend & wife is on boat, my friend and I talk about the unexpected coldness of the water it's a solid brownish green water with no visibility. Sitting with friends around table MR (current company S) says something about not starting without me but he doesn't realize I'm sitting down on the other end of the table and I say "here I am", <something about the food on the plates>. I'm getting ready to go brush my teeth and I'm naked, I think should I put on a towel but I decide to put on a large shirt/sweat shirt wearing it around my middle instead. I walk down the hallway to the bathroom and I encounter a bunch of girls and guys doing the same, most are wearing towels, but one girl in particular is naked and I'm checking her out, I'm quite surprised at this and I'm watching her walk by and noticing her pubic hair. I enter a room with a committee of girls on it and they all know me and are surprised to see me, this is a small, tight-knit community, I am a person of some significance, I'm happy to be part of this group. They're talking about a guy who is on some sort of scavenger hunt, he is an expert scavenger and always finds his stuff but he's been away for a long time, they're sure he'll find everything.

Recall's in its waning phase apparently -- hope it's short and epic dreaming returns soon! A bit late to bed two night in a row.

+(f) something about JT and choosing sausages in a market?

+ [vivid] I'm walking past a pedestal, and there are two glass bottles of what look like croutons there. One of them is labelled as <something, forgot>, and I reach for one to taste it but a friend with me stops me and points out that I'm about to eat the outer packing, not the stuff inside the bottle. I pick up the one bottle and smell it but I don't smell anything and say so.

+ I'm in a building, I'm apparently some sort of mediator for a fight or a battle that is about to begin. I specify a list of my requirements that must be agreed to before I accept the position.

+ I'm on a team of guys preparing some important demo on various computer systems attached to tall posts that have huge water tanks associated with them. I'm thinking a lot about managing this water how long it will take to fill up the tanks. The location is [after waking realization] CH Park BB level.

+ I'm outdoors it's a bleak, mostly dark night, I'm evading some scary stray dogs, pushing them away, climbing on a table and a roof to get away from them.

+ Climbing down into an area with shacks/derelict structures, we're again preparing our computer demo. I walk through an inside location and I see there are 4 computer stations prepared for us where each of us will set up. [some stuff happens outside] then back inside, I'm looking at the spots in a cabin where we will sleep and now our sleeping bags are laid out on the floor, and a computer desk is set up by each sleeping location, I think early in the morning, some of us could get up and use their computer and that might make noise bothering the sleepers. Go into the next room into a bunk with one of the partners and we start singing and I'm harmonizing (Sound of Silence). I'm mostly singing very high lines and my voice is very accurate and the harmony sounds great . I have to pee so I get up and go to the next room, and I ask the guys "so what was the high point of the day for our demonstration, do you think?" One of the guys reaches up and blocks some air vent with a small yellow piece of paper which gets partially sucked in and then stops there, I think this will block the flow of air into the room. I go back to the bunk but I still have to pee (I don't remember peeing last time I got up) and returned to the room, then I wake up and really have to pee!

~ 4 hrs
+ work buildings, petite blonde, KS, lunch cafeteria, coins
I'm walking from outside to inside a work building, up a ramp, there is neon-like lighting around. I'm following a petite blonde (very short) girl. I'm admiring her petite-ness. Inside, there are more petite blondes, including KS my jhs "GF". She seems me and our eyes meet and we approach each other, <forgotten>

In the cafeteria at work, trying to get food? Is it too late for lunch?

On the ground I see some interesting looking coins and pick them up, some are large and valuable-looking. I bring them to a table where some people are and put them down, on is a ($12?), and one is a $21 coin, the larger coins are golden colored the other ones are silver metallic.

take 4mg galantamine and 300mg alpha gpc and head right back to bed to sleep.
Never make it back to sleep, get up around ~7 hours and watch videos for about 3-4 hours, then in early afternoon collapse into bed exhausted for 3 hours, wake with a dream recalled

+ on a path, the road is washed out and cars cannot progress. Thoughts of backpacking. Inside a large church-like hall auditorium seating [DREAM SIGN], I'm talking with NeM and AnM (gs friends) about some things.

Lots of little sort of fragmented experiences, 3 fairly longer dreams but each made up of fragments.

+ driving to work, feel the road is wrong, I at the last moment take an exit with a strong feeling I'd be going the wrong way, I had glanced at a road sign and felt I needed to take one of those exits. I'm then taking an on-ramp, it's like I'm on a motorcycle, I rotate back the throttle and will myself to go faster as my bike accelerates on the circular on-ramp and on to the freeway.

+(f) with a woman and her daughter: I say for them to meet me at the store front and I'll (give them a ride home?)

+ I'm coming up to a small food kiosk (like in a food court), there is a choice of two different ones: Mexican place with burritos on the right, and an Asian noodle place on the left. There are wooden bars in front of the Asian place on the left where I really want to go. There's a woman inside and I knock on the wood to get her attention for service. She is eating from a large bowl with rice and things in it. She looks up at me and shakes her head, indicating that they're closed for the moment. I guess it's there lunch time and everybody there is eating now, I wonder about how I could know ahead of time that this is their lunch and avoid this time.

+ I'm closely inspecting and observing a rechargeable battery recharging station/device. It is a large device with many many slots in it for many different types of batteries. Each slot has tiny red print describing exactly what kind of battery goes into this slot. I'm amazed at the tiny writing and think someone with a steady hand and a really fine pen/sharp pencil wrote those notes. I think I want to buy a recharger here (in America?) and take it back home.

+(f) I'm with my dad and I'm showing receipts, there was some question of whether I had bought (2 things). I take out the receipts and look at them, they're small square white pieces of paper with black printing on them (machine generated), and I show them and this proves I bought those two things.

+ futuristic spray that explains everything, you learn all about a person's experiences from a device selecting the questions you want to ask, this saves time.

+ I'm DO in space, the situation is that there are journeys that go out and comeback once a generation. When they returns things have changed. For the first 3 trips the space stations around Earth get bigger each time (I see each of the larger and more complex stations). On the (4th?) return trip, space has been commercialized. There are now store space stations, rotating, this seems comical and I chuckle to myself as I glance at one rotating station (from a distance) and try to make out the "Target" name that I know is there.

Then I'm inside a store in a space station, in the aisles of a department store. Women staff (who look part-pig) are promoting perfume that changes your personal characteristics (makes you stronger? Truthful? <don't remember exactly>), and is being demonstrated on little donut/anemone things that pulsate open and closed on a counter.

I'm talking with a woman who's been sprayed by a perfume that makes people around her know things about her without having to ask. This saves time by avoiding small-talk. I'm holding a device with switches and buttons on it that when pressed also give you knowledge about her history, to save time having to ask.

I'm standing under an overhang that contains automated turrets firing energy bolts at me. I'm shooting the turrets, but my energy gun has no effect. I switch to a "boomstick" (shotgun) and shoot a turret point blank range, it seems to stop firing but is not destroyed (and starts shooting again?)

I'm walking in the mall/department store, come around a corner and walk past a (naked?) pink/red-skinned pig-woman who is facing a screen. Then she is sitting on my bare leg, I notice she has overly-pronounced genitals, and I feel them on my leg.

Spoiler for sexual moment:

I reach around to her front (she is facing away from me) and feel her (ahem), she is sopping wet, I feel the warmth as well

+ bowling; we have 4 lanes at the rightmost edge against the wall of the bowling alley. I bowl a ball on the 2nd lane from the wall. I'm thinking because I'm left-handed that even bowling against the right wall won't bother me, but it might bother right-handed people. My lane is not turned on yet, I think about hitting a button to get the attention of the front desk, but then I see the pins getting set up still in the dark and then the light turns on. I'm trying to position myself properly on the correct starting foot arrows but the ball return is in my way and my right leg is pressing up against it. I make my approach and aim for the 2nd arrow like always, expecting the ball to go down the left side of the alley curving towards the head pin but instead my shot goes badly to the right crossing over to the right side of the lane. At one point I'm face with having to makie a 2-pin the two pins are in the middle of the lane about half-way down, the pin on the left is more forwards so I will need to aim at it first. I'm trying to decide how I should approach making this spare. I have to hurry up because the 2nd pin is moving, it is sliding backwards, and its angle relative to the more forward pin is changing. (Because some people are standing in the lane and moving it?) I bowl and instead of rolling on the ground the ball flies through the air and hits the forward pin on its head and then the ball bounces off to the right, (missing the 2nd pin?), I'm a bit surprised that the ball went through the air

+ JG in CH, kitchen, sister's room, outside at the intersection
JG is in my CH and I'm trying to get alone with her. We're at the kitchen sink and there are dishes in there.

Outside on the street at the intersection of F and S, there's a car standing there and JG is there?

Inside CH upstairs in sister's bedroom, JG is in bed under the covers and I think looking at me seductively. My BF MR is in the room but not paying us attention and I ignore him. I go to JG and am feeling frisky but she rebuffs me telling me I have "too much complacency". "complacency" echoes in my head for a while as I try to figure this situation out.

I mean, I'm sick . Poor sleep. Many potential WILD attempts though through the many wakings.

+ some weird thing about counting my breaths falling into numerical patterns. Then talk changes to a timesharing computer system for 128 users running on a Commodore 64 which got my attention: how can that possibly work? Then I'm sitting at a computer screen like C64 and loading a program. First I type "LOAD <something>" wait for it to finish, then I type "RUN" and the screen switches into graphics mode and two detailed animated grey/black vertical (like seahorses) dragons are swooping back and forth along a platform. Then I start controlling them and they're like demons/balrogs running along a platfomer game. I cause the character to move and run and jump on to the next platform, the game is sort of 2.5D but still retaining 3D qualities. Then there is a fight with a wizard character on the top of the building/platform

awake, doing TDY "Ah" throat visuzliations, and ...

+ ... BANG! There is a loud sound like an explosion and I'm standing next to a building where a bomb has apparently just gone off. I look up and a narrator says you can see it was on the 5th floor because that's there the wall was blown off. Actually it's an exploded view of the building so you can see into all the floors but the 5th / top floor had explosion damage. I'm walking around the side of the building and now I'm standing on a tall/small platform with no railing several floors up and I'm a bit concerned about the unprotected fall, but I'm looking up at the door/balcony of the exploded apartment and I'm making a comment about the guy who's place that is, the door opens onto a very small balcony barely enough room for a chair, the doors and walls are glass [DREAMSIGN]. I'm looking up at the building and down at the fall just one step away, it's a sort of very small open shaft that all the apartment windows open on to. I'm standing just outside an apartment and I get down on my hands and knees and crawl carefully back inside the room so I don't fall. As I'm crossing the threshold back in to the room, I notice that there is a 1-inch gap between the floor of the room and the window/door sill leading out to the terrace, so you can see down to the apartment below. Each apartment has this same gap, and I put my eye to the gap and look all the way down the ground floor through all these gaps. I think that must be terrible for noise insulation, you'd hear everything from your neighbor.

Then my college roommate FG is standing down there one floor below and holding a toy suction cup dart gun up in my face like he's going to shoot it at me and I block it with my hand and we say a few things. I think that loading a suction cup sphere into a wrist rocket would be much more effective than this toy gun/suction cup dart thing.

Wavering half awake/asleep a long time, bad crick in my neck can't get comfortable fully sick, stuffed nose, etc., but suddenly....

+ ... I'm standing in front of a clothes washing machine. I'm apparently trying to calibrate the settings and all the clothes are coming out partially dry and partially wet. I'm doing really small loads and trying to figure out the right settings for the device. I think this is silly and I should just chuck all my clothes in there and do a single large load. I'm fiddling with the controls of the washing machine and finally pull out the circular setting knob to start the cycle. I look to my left and I see my blue jeans spread out on top of something and I notice they're pretty dirty, especially at the knees.

very vivid & present dreams, especially later ones. Not all that many, but the detail and length were good.

+ the metro/subway train arrives and the doors open (outdoors?) daylight. I'm looking in to the wagon to see if there's space. I'm not sure this is going in the right direction? I get on. I'm inspecting the metro line diagram and determine I'm heading the wrong way. I can get off at the next stop and go across to the other platform to start heading in the right direction. I get off and I need to cross the tracks to the other platform. A man is quickly walking across the track directly and I decide to do the same. I'm watching carefully and a train starts coming from my left across one of the tracks. I feel the rumbling of its weight on the ground. I think I could get stuck here if another train comes the other way, sandwiching me between them. Another train does come but from the same direction as the first. Eventually I make it across to the other platform.

+ "Visigoths" battle.
Starts DO, observing a combatant from pirate times with 4 rifles set up behind a large fallen tree. He's crafting an automatic firing mechanism with string that will let him approximate an automatic machine gun. The enemy combatants outnumber his side considerably but never underestimate the effectiveness of a small force of sharpshooters with muskets. I begin a severe slashing battle with the enemy leader. I'm swinging my sword with wild abandon and hacking objects in the surronding area. I get close up with the enemy leader and take my (broken?) blade and stab him underneath his chin sending the blade up into his brain, killing him.

In the aftermath of the battle once things calm down, the animals begin returning. I look out a door and see an entire field filled with crawling beats, sort of a mixture between a dodo bird and a turtle. They crawl with their bellies on the ground. They are laid out in perfect rows and columns, and move in total unison. They pull themselves forwards and then plop down again and rest and then make one more movement forwards.

A narrator is talking about the front along the Atlantic, and I see an overhead map of the area. I wake up thinking these combatants were "Visigoths."

+ A chess board fills my vision. I'm planning an attack against my opponent (who is MR, best CH neighborhood friend). I see that I have some devastating attacking lines with my two rooks against his king who is exposed in the center of the board. I can't see completely how my attack will work, it may just fizzle out and I may lose. I see that I can take a pawn on the flank but this will in turn allow him to open a file for his own rook. I make a move that opens the line for my attack and MR makes his move in response quickly and without consideration to my coming attack, so I begin it and I'm pretty sure I can manage a mating net around his king.

+ Outdoors, in daylight, I'm lost and I want to call (my wife?) on my old-style cell phone and find out where I am

I enter some store with friends. On the way out on an impulse I enter the dark/dank little side casino they run. We move past the door guard even though we're not much more than 21 years old, I think he may card us but he doesn't. We go inside another room and enter the tiny dark casino, I want to play some blackjack. There are two tables, I look to see the table minimum and one is $5, another one (where there's a player?) is also $5 minimum. I have $10 on me I know so that doesn't allow much play potential. I look around the room, and see a queen-sized bed in a side room that is screen by a curtain that is currently most of the way pulled back. I think this bed is odd/out of place.
We begin playing and I get a hard 17, so I must stand, and another time I get a hard 18 and also must stand. On one deal, my friend (to my right) gets the King of Clubs, I get the Jack of Clubs, and the dealer gets the 10 of spades. We all got 10s, maybe I'll get a blackjack? One time I think I may need to double but I don't have the cash. Another time I'm dealing (for ourselves and the dealer), and I encounter a card (the two of spades) which is turned face up. I freeze, unsure of what to do. The dealer takes the card and puts it face down, inserting it into the middle of the remained of the deck which is in my hands.

At one point I realize I'm up a lot of money. I should probably set some winnings aside as a minimum so I don't lose it all back. I'm sticking bills back into my wallet? There is talk of the time and how I'm meeting someone (a girl?) later. At one point I'm thinking about asking for a free drink, my favorite blackjack drink, a Jack Daniels and Coke [TRUE].

+ I'm outdoors at night on the street in a city. I'm standing on a corner where people are with a parked car. I'm trying to read the parking sign on the corner that describes the times it's allowed to park there. Something about Saturday and Sunday. I can't see well and want to climb up on the parked car in order to see better but don't do that because the owners are there? I walk further down the street and see a fire engine parked, and a large section of parking area marked off by a ribbon (from the fire dept?). There's an open street down to the right with potentially lots of parking but I ignore it. I'm maneuvering a wire small shopping cart in front of me, I think that I will leave this in a spot to reserve it and then go get my car but then think this is ridiculous, so I head back to where I came from in order to get my car.

Inside a grocery store at some prepared hot foods counter. I am spooning out the remains of one of the hot dishes, the contents consist of many things, like beans, hot dogs (in the shape of a double-sided wrench?), and I'm taking the last of it. I get some melted cheese on one of the t-shirts there on a shelf that I'm also going to buy but instead of putting it back and taking another one, I try to pick off the cheese from the shirt. Then I'm talking with the girl behind the counter and asking her what it is that she would like to do in a technical/programming profession that she is considering. "Simulation? <other stuff?>" Then I get a sense of deja vu and realize "ah yes, it was modeling that you were interested in."

+ I'm sitting in the stands at a football game. One side is punting, the line is directly in front of us, we're at a medium distance from the field. The punting team is punting from our right to our left. It is a low, line-drive punt. I'm impressed, the line is around the 20 and this kick looks like it's going to go all the way to the end zone, a very long punt. But then the punt hangs in the air, like getting suspended by the wind, and starts traveling backwards towards the kicker and drifting to the side over the stands. I think the net yardage will be not as much as it was appearing to at the start. I watch how the ball wafts over the spectators and settles softly down a few rows in front of us and to the left. The ball is now in the shape of a large inflated cucumber?

I'm considering my seat. I turn around and place my legs onto my seat, my legs are horizontal and I'm blocking our row so that's not idea. Then I go and take my seat a few seats down the row with a friend and there are some seats open to my right but belong to our friends. A small black boy comes and sits in the seat next to me and I feel a bit hesitant but ask him to move because that's our friend's seat, he moves over one seat to the right but I think that may be our seat, too, but I don't say anything more.

+ the toilet bowl and the tank are packed full of peaches, I'm pulling them out one by one with my hands. I don't understand why they were thrown away like this because my son loves peaches, why would he get rid of them?

+ gathering the lavender moths from the plant, carrying them in baggy and in my hand, there was a bee there but I shake it out

+ in an airplane and the two twins are outside the cockpit on the windshield, using their bodies to bleed off the airplane's speed

+ in a car, someone else is driving, we enter a dairy store which is large and circular and on a hill, all the products are packed onto the floor, our car is wreaking a path of havoc through the products leaving a wake of destruction behind us, around the end of the circle and reaching the door again, I (hear? think?) that the products may have been a hologram all along.

Also felt like a night full of dreams but recall only OK.

(early)

+ in an apartment talking with girls about school. Trying to decide where to live. They're asking if I'd really want to live away from home while going to University, missing out on all that good home cooking and comfort. I think yeah, but I want to live closer to school so it won't take so long to go to/from classes.

(later)

+ DO, view high above a city below, night, large circular spotlights then pan over the city. Attention focuses on one central spot, narrator says how the foot traffic in this place is wearing down the (grass?). View then swoops down over the city, passing by a house where a family with small kids lives, the kids are laughing and playing a game inside, visible through the large glass walls [DREAM SIGN] where they run and then slide along the slippery floor.

+ [long, many scenes] I'm in a lab high on a hill, I do not have access to be here and so could be caught. Moving from room to room. Working with designers on some technical project. In a break room where there are pastries in bright colors, built to look like ground meat sandwiches. There is a guy caught from the other side, a friend of mine? I'm trying to get leniency for him? I can't do it and say sorry, I tried but there's nothing I can do for you. He gets really mad and threatens to stab me with a knife. Riding from one platform up the mountain on the tram: you straddle the metal cable and hold on and it moves you up really fast, I'm facing forwards, a bit leery of falling but I don't fall

+ [long, detailed, vivid] down below in the city, it's night-time I look up behind me and see the tram cables and lines dotted with red lights leading the way up the mountain. There are several lines going up the hill and I'm trying to figure out which one leads to the place I remember being before

I'm walking a hilly suburban street with another guy. We want to go down to the (college?) in the city at the foot of the hills. I climb up the steep incline we're on to where it levels out so that I can get a running start to fly/glide down into the city.. I want to lead my friend into flying. I take a few steps and start flying/gliding and look behind me, my friend is still standing on the ground. I lead the way around several turns and he's still on the ground and I say "when are you going to start flying?".

We reach a place and I start talking about it being a good location, being near to the rose gardens and the public tennis courts. I'm leading my friend by the hand and running through my house, the friend is now my sons's ex-gf and we're giggling and running down stairs, I see my son briefly at one point and he makes a comment. We end up in some family room and I realize I don't have a shirt on, I want to put on a shirt, I see a piece of clothing sitting on a couch and want to put it on but see it's some sort of animal costume with a hood so I don't put it on. Again I see it and want to put it on but see the hood again and so don't. The girl gives me some clothing and I think at first it's a shirt but see then that it's a pair of underwear. I think this means I need to take a shower and head into the bathroom.

[not sure of sequence of this part, before or after shower?] I'm on a tennis court playing tennis with my son and his ex-gf. They're (or at least she) is bad at tennis so I'm just standing near the net hitting soft lobs so she can hit them back, the ball zips back by me and I miss it and have to go pick it up?

I enter a bathroom that I realize I hardly ever use, and this how this means my place is actually much larger than I thought it was. Walking back into the bathroom the white tile floor gets slippery, the floor is very wet and soapy. I "remember" that my wife told me that one of the shower heads is broken and leaking. There are 3-4 shower stalls all in a row on the left. As I walk towards the far stall I see there is the stuck shower head attached to the ceiling up over the right hand wall and it is emitting a spray of water that is causing the floor to be wet. I walk back to the first stall and I notice that there is a deep level of water in several of the showers, about a foot, and I'm wondering why it's not draining, because the leaking shower head is not producing so much water that the drains couldn't keep up with it.

Then I'm looking at the floor leading into each shower, it is a strip of slightly raised tile with an arching hump over the place where you'd step into the shower. There is an old man next to me and he's saying that the aluminum insert should be removed. I'm looking closely at this arched tile area and agree, because the level is too high, it makes it hard/dangerous for older people to step into and get out of the shower. Some elderly people are walking with canes and the canes are also slipping on the slippery floor.

+ driving in a car on freeways, I take several on-ramps and off-ramps. I arrive in a suburban neighborhood with houses set down below from the street. I think this is not a great area of town and I hear some thug-like talk from down below. One guy approaches me looking at me from another direction and I realize that "recognize" him [FALSE] from the ad that I came here to answer? We go into a house. A party is being prepared. The host has pizza, several types. The crust is not crispy so the pieces are floppy when picked up. I say that he'll need to heat the oven and put the pizza in there to get the crust crispy again. One of the participants is really excited about this guy-party. He says there will be yogurt and (rice?) and is looking forwards to it.

+ I'm in some shelter, outside it is starting to rain and I see the water hitting the pavement just outside and I'm trying to figure out where to put my shoes so they don't get wet. I climb up a tree inside the covered shelter and I'm moving out among the branches to pick something from the tree. I look down and see that I'm pretty far out on a branch and I don't want the branch to break. I notice something there on the branch and realize with a shock that it is some wasp nests and I see little things flying around and I don't want to get stung. Then I see that the wasp nests are tiny, only the size of a walnut and there are only a few of them so now I'm not so worried.

+ I'm in a room with some middle-aged men. We're sitting around a counter talking about pizza [DREAM SIGN]. I'm saying how I like Round Table. One guy wants to get a combo pizza but doesn't want the expense of the King Arthur Supreme. They want to go to a restaurant that is far away and I don't see the point.

+ walking towards a building that I see is tilting severely, it's a house-boat on water? Multi-story. The view of this building really gets my attention. Some things happen inside with people, there's a rotating (log?) on the water that is part of a pump system moving the water?

There is someone talking about the water system, I also say that the water is what we use to do many things, and I'm standing on the bridge over a river and holding a thick hose (like a fireman's hose) and spraying some water around, including on some (pigeons) sitting on another bridge near-by.

Later I'm indoors and opening windows because it's really warm inside.

Outside later people are putting on robes.

I walk up to a building and look through the large windows/glass walls [DREAM SIGN] to the inside. There are a bunch of young people inside cavorting in a hot tub (mostly girls?). One girl is standing up in a bikini, and I see clearly her bikini top is pulled a bit down to expose both nipples. Our eyes meet, and while holding my gaze she slowly pulls the bikini top back up covering up her breasts again. There is a fair bit of nudity and some sexual activity/play going on to the left as well.
