(early)

+ I'm walking along a series of multi-level terraces (above a seashore?), this is my place. It is night. I look down and see I've climbed on to a medium-sized rectangular terrace/platform with room for several chairs to sit comfortably but not much more. There is a bright, intricate pattern on the tiles that line the terrace's floor. I look towards the water/away from the hill and I see a small/square pool (or large Jacuzzi) which is lit inside. The light from this pool is shining into the night lighting the area around. I know this is my pool. (I think about turning off the lights?)

+ in a room with some (friends?), people are outside, it's a threatening situation. I see my (girlfriend/wife?) 's naked back and it is covered completely from top to bottom with a "design" of self-inflicted cuts that forms a picture/words. I'm wondering how she did this, with a mirror perhaps? I think that every time I see her like this I will be reminded of what she did to herself.

+ I'm in a kitchen fighting with two young punks. It is a vicious fight. I'm throwing them around but no matter what I do they keep getting up and coming at me. There is blood smeared all over the floor. Sitting in the corner of the room is a crazy old hag with skin pulled tightly over her face like a mummy almost and a very wild look in her face. She shouts endlessly "HEH! HEH! HEH! HEH! HEH!..." I go to window and pull aside the curtain to the front yard/street and peer outside, it is night, I see that there are about a dozen (children?) standing there in formation on the street, standing still (with head down?) like zombies, it's a freaky scene.

I go out a door and the punks follow me I pick up stones to throw at them. There is a bin of smallish rocks there, black, and one of bright shiny bronze. I throw the rocks hard but it's like I have no strength in my arm and they don't fly very fast. The rocks do no damage at one of the guys even manages to catch one of them.

+ I'm driving on a bridge in an open vehicle (like a small scooter). There are dark figures (in robes?) I pass standing on the side of the bridge. A tall truck in front of me loses control, weaves, and topples over to the left right in front of me. I think that had I been there, just a small bit more forwards besides that truck, it would have crushed me.

+ Two people, a young man and woman, are racing (on scooters?). There's going to a particular destination, and the thing they're riding has some long wire about it, and a precise way of measuring distance. I think the destination is at reading "3000." I think the young man will win.

+ I'm in the common room of a suite of rooms that open off of the common room on the sides. It's cluttered and full with appliances like washing machines, cupboards, etc. Ahead of me in a room off of the common room is a team of kids, they are our enemies, but in this place there is no fighting or throwing things, but we do trade (candy) with them sometimes. A kid comes forwards and we trade candy, I get his Butterfingers. He says "it smells like mouse crap here" and I do notice a musty smell. And I then think I hear the scratchings of a mouse under the closed door to an adjoining room to the left. I get down on the floor and look under the door (there is a step or two up to the door from the common room to this is easy to do), and I see it is lit in there, and I see a band of mice in there, with brown fur, and they are emaciated/strarving, I don't think they'd make much of a meal they're all skin and bones.

1mg melatonin @ around 11:30pm

wake around 5 hrs

recalled 2 dreams at the time, now forgotten

awake for a bit, then decided to listen to / do Daniel Love's WBTB "lucid trance" youtube audio. Key last thought: the very next thing I see will be a dream.

+ I'm standing at window in a bedroom looking outside through large window/glass walls [DREAM SIGN]. It appears dark outside, but there are some large objects outside that are white and lit. I'm on the second floor. I'm having an internal discussion of some sort trying to reach a conclusion about what I'm seeing but I do no RC and continue on. There is a bed in this room and I decide that I'm tired now and I will go back to bed. I get under the sheets and my wife comes in and starts talking to me / asking me something?

+(f) (was this an earlier dream? Not sure) I'm in a house, fairly tall-ceilinged room, and a very large bus enters from the upper floor heads down the stairs and gets stuck trying to make the turn into the next room. I think "there's no way it's going to make that turn, it's too tight."

+ At some large mansion, concrete curvy walls, stairwells around. I need to find some way through to some destination. I need to pour out some garbage bucket. I pour it out over a railing down a road that runs in between this place and the neighbor's place. I hear the slapping sound as the liquid hits the wall of the neighbor's place, like water hitting a plastic tarp. I'm looking down at the splash of liquid and am trying to see the things that I think are in it. I see then several dozen parasitic worms that were in the garbage, as they wiggle their way towards and under the neighbor's fence.

+ at a billiards table [DREAM SIGN]. I'm watching an expert play and demonstrate "draw" (applying backspin to the cueball so that it will zip backwards to the place you want to shoot next), he doesn't get quite the position he's hoping for. Some object balls almost make it to a corner pocket but they stop disadvantageously one blocking the other. I'm presented a cue stick without a proper tip, it's more like a rake. I demonstrate "draw". I am the tip of the cuestick low and hope I won't miscue. I notice that a girl has a cue stick with a proper, rounded tip.

+(f) in a house, with people (N & A MK grad school?), upstairs, having to climb over some woman's kid to get into a room

+(f, faint/vague) outside with some attractive girls, I'm friendly with them, giving them hugs, (kissing their heads?), one is in a tank top?

+ long, vivid multi-scene sequence. There is some competition involving one team throwing things at the opposing team into a court surrounded by a net. I'm moving around the surrounding roof-tops with a colleague and we're trying to find a place to line up good shots. We are pushing over large soccer-goal-like angular structures that are straddling the peak of some roof-tops. I try to lob a (water baloon?) into the court and it hits the surrounding net-wall and pops and the water splashes down, I think this is pretty good and I'll probably get the team in the court wet this way. We continue circling around the court on the roofs. We reach a position in our "base" and lie down facing the court near a ledge, and below is a former boy-scout troop scoutmaster, looking up and complaining that our position is not fair, that we have an advantage up there.

I find some little bottle, like a medicine bottle with a label on it with a name and I go looking to deliver it to that person. I'm walking up a stairwell with low baby gates periodically blocking the way and I step over these and walk by the people sitting near them. I reach a hallway where there are two doors. I'm trying to read the label of the bottle and trying to get the idea of what it is and who it is for, and I'm trying to read the name on the doors across from me. The guys in the doors are some high-up gangsters? A henchman (or two) approach me and I say that I'm bringing this bottle to the lead guy (in the room). The bottle is not full I see. The henchman says the boss is going to ask where's the rest of the delivery? I say I don't know anything about more, this botltle is all I came to deliver. I repeat this and say "so it's probably better to only deliver the full shipment than this one bottle, huh?" So I leave in search of more. Then I'm going through a pile of teeny tiny bottles, trying to read the labels, there are letters there and one bunch is something like "melatonin" (but not quite) so I think it's related to sleep.

Returning to the court area it's now a fairly large athletic field surrounded by stands. On the field is some large animal/beast, like a white polar bear, the bear comes in to the stands and returns to the field. I see a very large "disc" of about 1-meter long bright orange/red feathers that suddenly appear around the neck of the animal and I think this is particularly noteworthy/interesting. The game is started by tossing the "ball" to the bear on the field but the ball is really a large chunk of a large fish. The bear falls over backwards behind a fence trying to catch it and I think it may be injured.

I move forwards to the other side of the field and I'm following someone/something. I'm staying very low, crawling on the floor in between chairs. I emerge between two chairs and they squeak when I move them and I think this will give my position away.

I'm now in a library (or book store) looking for a particular book/series on a particular subject. The book titles show series one or two, in different colors. People are talking about these books. I'm walking along a bookshelf and I hear the librarians talking, I know they are all militant feminists. They're saying something about "Even Edward Norton would(n't)..." most are women, but there's a man librarian (also a feminist) there, too.

+ I see a board of electronics, kid comes with spare parts saying he has "milli-watt capacitors", I say debugging/fixing this circuit will be too complex even with that. I imagine we could analyze half-adders, I see little components arranged and lights that would light up to indicate the result of the input bits and the computed output bits.

+ sitting at a table in large outdoor or atrium restaurant. There are two people sitting with me at the table. Some narrator (or I think?) before this something about one person being very well known and something to do with me killing him? I'm speaking: "now explain to me how genetic algorithms work, I've heard of them but never really understood them. They're main mode of operation is.....?" [woken by alarm as guy starts to answer]

up for a bit, BTS

+ standing with my mom and a doctor at some clinic. The doctor is behaving strangely and standing right up in my mom's face and is telling her off (or about to), I wonder why he's doing that and I plan to tell him to back the F* off away from my mom. I go through a door into an open room next door (no visuals at this point), go up to a girl and pull her pants off and I'm kneeling and have her straddle me? Half-daydream?

+ I'm in our car, driving, and there is a bad sound coming from the motor like something is very wrong in there, then the sound stops. I thinks this means the oil filter which they just replaced [FALSE] has come entirely off. I look at the instruments to see the oil pressure reading but don't see anything. (I turn off the engine?) thinking that without oil it may seize up at any time (?). I get out of the car expecting to see a mess of oil everywhere and I do see a large patch of it on the ground. I see on the hood a small round black thing that I take to be the oil filter which popped off. I open the hood and start unloading small rectangular plastic containers (like refreezable ice packs) which are covered in black oil, so I can get to the filter?

done from memory just now:

-------------- 3 nights ago:
+ up close newspaper [DREAMSIGN], I poke it with my fingers and letters appear on top of the type, I draw red/brown lines under words in the paper, I can read the words clearly (but forgot)

+ surfer red head/face in water car floating (long, vivid)

+ girl on girl friends planning a road trip, playing old pinball game the girl on the girl is standing and hanging on my shoulder.

+ in the bedroom of girlfriend, caress her blonde hair/head pushing her hair back from her eyes many times (kiss her?) I notice a large closet with a mat on the floor is that where she sleeps? Then I see I'm sitting on one of two twin beds in this room.

+ small headed girl [DREAMSIGN] making out, turns into a sequence of brief sexy times with different partners, a bit abstract.

------------------ 2 nights ago:

3 times paralyzed:
1: I wake (FA) in the dark from a sudden loud sound. I'm in bed with my wife (dream house). I should get up to investigate. I try to stand up but can't and am pulled back in bed like I'm attached by short strong bungee cords. My wife gets up to look around I manage to get up. It's very dark and everything's hazy, I'm walking around and wonder when I'll encounter my wife again and we should be careful not to scare each other.

2: I'm on a bus driving along the east side of campus on CD by dad's old office, I see redhead old high school friend CB walking by I think this name and then I see he's walking with our friend DD (jr high best friend), I say "ah crap!" because I wanted to talk to them, I'm with grade school/neighborhood friend EB who complains "hey!" like he thinks I want to be with the other guys more than him. Then I'm lying in bed with EB and he's rolled on top of me and I can't move, I tell him to get off of me, and I get out from under him and I'm stuck a little bit in the sheet

3: outdoors with guru(?) and people there's a clear sign I can read it (but forgot), I'm making a religious gesture with my right hand but I can barely lift it above waist level a force is holding it down, I try to move slowly and carefully and find I can movie it more freely then. Someone comments on my old work t-shirt which has a picture of a slice of pizza on it.

+ at JE? (grad school first GF)'s house, there is a sudden loud sound which I immediately interpret as the newspaper bow throwing today's paper and it hitting the window to the living room in which we're standing. Go to the dining room table and a bunch of people are there. One of the house residents has completely deconstructed several ball-point pens and the parts are all organized and laid out on the table. Each part has been completely pulled apart down to its smallest mechanism, each part is very small and there are hundreds of parts all laid out on the table. I recognize the writing tip just a few milimeters long pulled out of the end of the ink writing tube/refill.

+ outdoors daylight over/in large body of water with waves? Approach shore there is a boardwalk(?) there with large (cartoon character?) statues to one side. I start flying and rise up into the air and am flying along the windows of a hotel, looking in. The windows are very dirty and the view inside is hazy/unclear. I'm searching for hot girls? I come to a window at the left edge of the building and I see two girls inside the room, each on their own twin bed, they look pretty good so I open the window and climb in. Sexy time ensues with the girl on the left and it goes wrong fairly fast

Spoiler for sexy time gone very wrong:

Getting a BJ from "her" and she seems to have become an Indian man but I don't particularly care, I decide it's time for intercourse and I want to make sure "she" is a female again, I'm getting on top and its body has become grossly fat with a huge mounded stomach, I think there are "girl bits" down there but I no longer want that. So I lay down on my back on the bed and indicate for the BJ to continue. It says "what is that!?" and is looking at my crotch. As I look down there, (which is much darker, both hair and skin, than normal), I see there are some rotten small berries stuck in my pubes which I recall picking up from somewhere earlier, the berries have attracted a swarm of flies which take off and fill the air.

So this isn't working and I get up and now I start thinking I should have used protection, and I go into the bathroom to the sink to wash my (ahem). I turn on the tap and lean in and wash off my (ahem) briefly and I notice that the door is only a half door on my left, like a saloon swinging door, and the 2nd guy (who started as a girl) is standing there peeking over the door at what I'm doing.

This second guy is saying they're heading down for the meal which I didn't think would be until later but it turns out it's at 7:30, in only 9 minutes. I go back to the window which is a back way out of the room and go through a door or two and fly out, I at first intend to go around the buildings but then I go up over the roof and into an open window in another building and start flying quickly down a stairwell. Round and round the stairwell and down and down I fly, very fast. At several of the landings I see a clock whose minute hand is approaching the 30 minute mark. I end up in a room with an elderly woman at table and some (weird?) objects (for not very long but the detail forgotten).


----------------- last night:

+ dueling/fencing competition lots of thoughts on the scoring involving the square root of 3 as a factor: I battle a girl, I'm holding a fairly stiff fencing sword, probably epee or saber, I feel the curvy grip, I strike a fencing stance I know how to fence and she does not, I will lunge and this will be a pretty easy win for me. I lung and I hit her squarely between the eyes on her nose bridge on her helmet. I win the bout. But later I think this was just one score, we probably had to have several more. I plan and need to avoid swipes to the legs. I plan parry riposte movements.

+ at work of a competitor talking about what work and designs I did before on previous products, what I've done before, [DREAMSIGN].

+(f) view from below up a hill with a snowy slide/chute where people could come swooping down

+ in an office cube on my computer, running some program there. I have a colleague in my cube, I'm picking up trash from the floor and throwing it away.

+(f) some guy is displaying his invention, a sort of coffee table/clothes washing machine (?) with slots for magazines

+(f) shuffling cards, reversing a stack of cards by laying them out then flipping them over

Very strange night -- woke at about 2 hrs with a quite vivid, generally coherent dream. But I couldn't go back to sleep after this, and ended up getting up for about 4-5 hours, then falling asleep exhausted, and having some decent dreams, sleeping for about 4 more hours

~2 hrs

+ music, interview? I'm reading sheet music at a desk across from one person, I'm quite confident I can play this. I'm wondering what cleffs they will give me to read, I can read generally all of them so I'm not worried. I look the music on the lower right corner of the right-hand page of the open notes and I see bar-long whole-notes of slurs from the mid-range up to the high-range, I think it goes very fast and I recognize the melody as a famous piece, I know this will be hard to play. There is suddenly a second guy there sitting across the desk from me and I turn the page and I'm feeling the music, reading the notes, and I say "this <piece> has/requires a lot of dynamic energy!". The 2nd new guy turns the pages to find another place but the first guy says "don't lose my place!"

I'm walking outside and I see TZ coming out of a buiding, I ignore her at first, but then I realize that I have a folder for her back inside, I waffle between getting it or not, I decide I should just go and get it and give it to her now, saving a trip of driving to her house later. I (get it?) and follow her as she's gotten a bit ahead of me. There's a woman following her who I'm looking at and trying to decide if it's T's mother, PZ, she has sort of dreadlock-y hair, she turns and speaks to me it's not her, it's some other woman who says that PZ is (not here?).

up a long time, 4-5 hours, something weird in the atmosphere? Nobody can sleep in my house tonight

BTS

+ calling the conductor on a rotary telephone to see if they want me to play in the concert, I could do it but since I haven't been at any of the rehearsals I expect her to tell me "no." I have a small pamphlet with her phone number, I go to the phone and I dial a 9 on the rotary phone and immediately I'm connected to my cousin (KeR?) and she's telling me something. I'm confused by that and I hang up and try dialing again, I get KR again after the first digit of the number.

+(f) DO watching some golf tournament, they're teeing off from an outcropping on a very high cliff

+ (f) long-ish sequence going upstairs and downstairs, something to do with a fish?

+ running in to a house where there is a fire burning but I realized I had left all the windows closed, I get in to the house and there is some smoke but it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Returning to the entrance room my dad is there and he says something.
There is some conflict going on, something in the garden, we're fighting with someone else over a path of growing things, I look out the window down on the patch and see that the other party has pranked us by replacing the plants with something that looks like large hot dogs in buns with mustard on top? My dad says something about the inevitable escalation.

Returning from one area to the building there are a bunch of guys in "bank robber clown masks" and someone is warning me against of the guys in that gang, I was going to go with them but I think I should get a mask, too, but I'm concerned that they've already seen my face

+ (f) entering some fortified castle/building, the guards are checking ID

+(f) (with NM?) outside, dealing with chunks of concrete that must be made to align

+(f) it's raining on the work area, we're pulling a huge tarp over the entire area

+ a man is reading a newspaper on my CH stairway. I admire the newspaper, it is large and colorful and I say what a great printer they're using. I get up close and look at the quality of the type and it gets a bit pixelated but I'm still impressed. I go into my room and the man comes upstairs and heads to my parents bedroom and I think my mother is changing in there so he shouldn't go in.

+ in a gym locker room I'm locking my locker, there are people around, I put the key on my keychain?

Many vivid scenes throughout the night

+ boy scout UL campsite, I'm choosing my spot, I "remember" my place, it's a bit away from the others, I think it may be a bit too close too a footpath.

+ with kids, they're "dressed" up in "costumes" on their faces consisting of colored (rice? noodles?) that makes it look like they have no skin. I think these would make good halloween costumes.

+(f) (vague, impression) outside, merry-go-round?

+ (vivid) walking up pathway towards building: large white curving building, all residents moved out [DR from "Suits"], about 10 stories tall, about 4x wider than tall. People climbing stairway on right side of building, go in, room full of equipment

+ (vivid) crazy advanced fast line printer with full-page "print head", watching its operation for a long time in the computer center, guy and gal operator. It prints entire pages with one strike of the print head. The printed patterns are very dense and black and organized. Once there is a page of "random" characters printed. The gal says at one time there was a page with just one letter on it.

+ on phone with boss, standing in doorway looking out to front yard, young boys are playing a football game there, I say that half our workforce is there outside, at one point I see the ball fly up into the air and I shout "WHOA! FUMBLE!" The boss is there with me and he's saying that the work must be finished immediately [DR, "Suits"], I don't want to work because it's Sunday I know. I say the work could easily be finished Monday or Tuesday

+ (vivid) CA adult home, lying in bed with master bedroom, (with college ex-gf?), the "detached vagina" which is formed from wiping your face and its lips are formed from your eyelids (!?), it's quite strange I look at it time and again many times. Get up and look into walk-in closet, and I see that it has the same floor tiles as my CH bathroom. I "turn on the shower" in the closet then enter the master bathroom. I see that it has gotten a bit grungy since the time we remodeled in before we sold it. I go into the large shower stall and press on the tiles in the wall. I feel one that is loose and I press it a bit more and it pushes several inches into the wall, I look at this. Then I press on the other tiles on the wall trying to find more loose ones but they're all solid.

+ (vivid) with wife in "new home", on (external, open) stairway walking quietly, surprise her with her nickname, notice many individual chunks of wood burning in various fire places, in the kitchen, outside in the patio, I think they've all been started by my wife with fire-starter liquid

+ campfire song, singing with kids on top of a playground swing at night outside

+ raquetball playing with wife, I'm serving and quickly building up points, loud couple comes to play in court next door and we interact

+ "woken" by kid in house of other people, walk around neighborhood, wave to L (CH neighbors across street) family through windows, see delapidated exposed partial construction, fallen and dried/soaked by the weather exposed beams; talking about a particular computer instruction set is direct or microcoded, several colleagues up close all talking over each other (WD for sure, JD around the corner?)

+ flying: heading home to CH but flying going so well I decided to head down the hill but then apply jet engine out of my butt to climb back up and it works, get to CH and want to drop off my heavy backpack and keep on flying, Ricky Gervais is getting in my way on the front steps I put down my stuff under a bush

+ walking the puzzle/path with kids outdoors scary dark places below but I eventually go inside and follow clues and climb up the square uneven "staircases" choosing the inner path twice and emerge at the top and see a priest in his gold vestment robes and then get confirmation from a team of young people that this is the finish, they congratulate me; indoors in some gym a see a foreign team lead by a man in his 50's / 60's I see they're from America and I go to him to shake his hand then I "remember" [FALSE] him and we talk a bit

BTS

+ (f) LOTR dream of some sort?

+ driving car around SH ave near V (old grocery store) see big semi truck cab I get in front go through parking lot of grocery store to get to gas station across the way station lot on hill try to park to get the car washed, there are vehicles moving around in the way I get out to find a spot and my car is gone, it's been stolen, spend a long time accusing the staff of the station of running a racket overflow parking outside I scream at them "The last time this happened the car was returned after I threatened suing you, why isn't the car returned this time?" I'm planning to threaten them to expose their criminal activities, I plan to set up surveillance. Walking through shop I see tons of things on shelves, a little mini grocery store including motor oil (I pick up one gray bottle and carry it with me then I see that there is no round cap on it), I see blue packages of zip-loc baggies also on the shelves. Walking towards the opposite side away from overflow parking to check to see if I can see my car there I'm choosing slippers to put on because my feet are bare, some guy says "I'd offer you mine but I have a <xyz> [meaning walks with a severe limp and the slippers are not evenly worn" I choose a pair of slippers and continue on down to the sidewalk out the side and see large metal industrial tray tables filled with meat dishes, I see/help an elderly woman back up a step? Driver around neighborhood looking for car, wife and guy in car I think it's pointless I'll never find the car it's probably already in a city far away, the guy says we should look very carefully for it all around town. I'm glancing at all the cars along the side of the road and quickly trying to identify my make and model (FF). I'm trying to remember the exact year of the car and tell it to the guy, I'm calculating backwards from when I was in university and arrive at it's a 1979 model.

+(f) (vague, impression) work, large buildings

+(f) guys tossing small glass vials from shelves into the air and swinging at them with baseball bats

+ I'm looking up at the top of my instrument and I notice the 2nd to the last key hole is entirely uncovered, the key mechanism seems to have fallen inside the tube! I'm trying to figure out what happened, I won't be able to play the lowest notes

+ (long, vivid) lying on bed in (4th grade?) classroom start of school day, chart on wall with recycling terms, boy rolls over me I grab him with both arms an roll with him, 2 boys on counter are reading the chart with me; French class, huge pronunciation char on wall, I read several of the (nonsense) words out loud with French pronunciation.

In house lying on bed, I'm visitor no my house, father (big guy) comes in with a huge pacifier in his mouth (WLAT moment, "Whoa/WTF! Look at that!), he takes it out and holds it up against a vent in the ceiling which looks like a large round sprinkler-style showerhead which is a vacuum sucking air out, the pacifier flattens against the surface of the vent from the pressure of the air moving out, this is I know to sanitize the pacifier. I'm telling the tale of my trip back to school, saying how I was reading the charts, and the mother is saying "Oh! Oh, how wonderful, Oh, that's great, Oh!" to everything I'm saying (I just hear her she's not visible).

Boy on 2nd floor hallway putting on a bright blue full-body condom (more like a garbage bag) over his head (it drapes down his entire body to the floor, I think that won't be a very comfortable experience, and I think it's hilarious) with the help of his mother, his (ahem) gets bigger (baguette, french bread), I start feeling myself the lubricant inside as if I was wearing it. I think the Then downstairs his dad is naked (but not erect) and his wife says "Oh this was just an excuse to get naked with me!" Then their "daughter" comes home, she's older like late teens or early 20's, she's staggering and has a glazed expression on her face, to me it's clear that she's completely smashed, the mother notices then and hovers over her saying "Oh, what's wrong, what's wrong, baby!?". Then the father starts speaking in a super basso-profondo voice, so deep that it's almost impossible to understand what he's saying. He's talking about the planning of a party, and says to the drunk "daughter", whom he calls "Debbie," and at this point I realize she's a fake daughter, like an actress, not a real one, because of the name change, that she can come to the party only if she doesn't bring her drunk/loser friends.

Then I get the feeling that the entire think was like a show I was partially participating in: my view now is inside a medium-sized theater in the 1950's, my perspective is from the left side (looking out) of the stage looking into the audience. I see people, particularly women, are dressed in the 1950's style. The theater is about 40-50% full, there are ample empty seats around but it's still a decent-sized crowd. Down front in the right-middle section is a large man with short dark hair, a chiseled look, wearing jeans, also like a 1950's "tough guy".

Then I'm seated in the section near that guy, but facing back up towards the rear of the theater. The actors from "The Munsters" appear in the aisle by me and walk down, first the Herman guy comes and sits right next to my on my left, I immediately hold out my hand and shake his hand, then the other actors huddle standing around me, and I touch each one of them, and I say,

I've touched 2 famous people in 2 seconds! <touch another one>
I've touched 3 famous people in 3 seconds! <touch another one>
I've touched 4 famous people in 4 seconds!

Then I look to the left and there are some women actors there and I say "...in 11 seconds!"

Then all of their faces are pushed up right into mine our cheeks, etc. are touching, I'm wondering a bit about my breath and there's some removal tooth partial in my mouth that isn't seated correctly.

+ I'm turning off and on some electronic security attached to a desktop computer system outside at a "fair". I'm inserting a USB flash drive into the USB slot of the computer. Later I'm inserting the entire drive into a door into the front side of the computer and I think this is really convenient because you can store the USB drive inside without risk of breaking off the attachment. You can retrieve it from the other side.

+ standing outside in a backyard garden. There is a pineapple plant on the ground mostly gone, just the bottom portion remains, I slice off a portion to eat and a massive cloud of hundred/thousands of fruit flies buzz up around my face, so thick I can feel them as I swat them away. The owner of this yard comes up and is really angry that I'm eating his plant, he picks a second plant which was still growing, and hands it to me sarcastically, saying "here, why don't you eat this one, too!?". I tell him he shouldn't have done that. I see now that I'm several yards away from my own yard and feel a bit bad about eating this guy's pineapple, I say I'm sorry several times.

+ I'm walking outdoors at the foot of a steep tall hill right next to me. There's a large square-shaped mansion nearby and I start scaling the front wall which is made from bricks. The facade of the house quickly becomes an impassable overhang, and I'm hanging off of the wall with one hand holding and looking up and trying to see a way forwards, but I can't. Then I'm floating/flying up along the side of the house, this is (Ronnie Lott's? Some famous 49er or football player)'s house, someone is criticizing him for quitting but I think it's fine to retire. I'm concerned about flying too high over the roof line because there may be automated gun turrets up there, I see tons of security cameras on the walls. There is a neighboring mansion that also has a lot of security cameras. I'm flying and I'm gaining altitude, and I head towards the flat roof top of a house nearby. I land and get a good running start and take off again.

I land in my CH bedroom, I'm crouched down next to the wall along the hallway, and there's a small cabinet with containers there. I pour myself a glass of white wine. There are several opened bottles of white wine, with just a little bit of wine left in them, with the corks sticking out of the top. I see my glass of wine sitting on the floor, the wine is a light amber color. My (dad?) comes and wants some of the tomato sauce (for his cracker?). The bottles are sitting in the little cabinet/shelf thing on the floor. I notice that many of the bottles have loose tops. One looks like an unopened bottle. Bottle after bottle which I open is spoiled, there's lots of mold in the sauce. I toss several of the bottles in the trash. My dad says he really wants some of that sauce. I get the bottle which I think was unopened but it's also spoiled and moldy. He starts to dip his cracker in a particularly moldy bottle where the sauce is solid green colored from the mold.

+ I'm standing in a medium-sized square room with GS friend NM. I'm staring at the walls: they are all painted with brick-shaped patterns in many differnt colors but mostly various shades of blue. There are multiple different patterns along a single wall, one pattern area fading into another, 3-4 patterns along the wall, and I'm trying to figure out which one was the real/original pattern, N says something about this.
N says "remember that huge table?" and I do [FALSE], it's a really large rectangular wooden plain-featured dining table. I "remember" how we fit 10 (20?) huge pizzas on that table during some party.

+ Outside daylight in some suburban driveway, [DO], observing a (mother and daughter?) how they leave the driveway and drive away on the road on some large inflatable water mattress. The mother gets on top, and the daughter crouches down on the side of it in the water (which fills the street). The girl then presses a button on a small wheel set into the side of the mattress, which then starts rotating, which drives the mattress forwards down the street, with the girl holding on and getting pulled along with it. I [DO] follow. The mattress soon enters the main street downtown, which has been shut down for the summer, closed to car traffic, and covered with inflatable jump house (inflatable raft) material, inflated, and covering all the street from curb to curb and extending forwards all the way down the street. The woman's raft "jumps" up on top of the street/raft base, and continues going forwards, the wheel moving it fairly slowly. I drift along [DO] behind it, observing the downtown. It is deserted for the summer, nobody is around. I look into little burger stands/restaurants which we pass wondering if they're open, don't see people inside.

At the end of the street we reach a water park and enter. The road is a driveway that curves upwards and to the left. There is wording embedded on the ground that "<some place> sucks". Some guy says something about "marketing" which should be ignored because it's not sponsored by the water park. I approach the swimming pool (which is on a slope?) and enter the water. There are various groups of women/girls around and I approach near some of the girls checking them out but moving on. I get out and go to some (dressing?) area where one of the girls (naked?) is eating a snack and looking at something, and I think about getting a snack from my locker. Then there's a guy there who I "remember" I owe some money to, might as well pay him now, I get out my wallet and pick through it, find a $100 bill and hand it out to him. I keep looking through the wallet but there are not many bills left in there now.

WBTB, read for 1.5 hours, some drowsiness returning
BTS

Took a long time getting back to sleep, sinking slowly into relaxation, doing DY (lotus, Ah) visualizations, relaxing breathing, relaxing SSILD. Start several times to get images appearing, noise in room distracts, but I tenaciously hold on to drowsiness and eventually return to sleep and dreaming.

there were quite a lot of dreams but as per usual for > 8 hours after bedtime, recall is vague, except for a few moments which really stand out vividly.

+ guys & sex demonstration:

Spoiler for yucky sexual content. ew.:

I'm next to some guys who are talking in great detail about male anal sex. There is one guy leaning over a bench sticking his naked butt out. There is a knowledgeable guy there who's mentioning the various sensitive spots inside. He's giving advice. Then he takes his erection and tries to stick it in the other guys' butt. I'm amazed that he's really going to do that.

+ I'm lying face-down & naked on a raised boardwalk with gaps between the boards where I place my (ahem). People are gathering in an adjacent field and there are some people in a building across the field, I wonder if they'll see me.

+ I'm coming down a ladder, speaking in a convincing fake southern accent several times (belated day residue from Orange is the New Black?)

+ lying on mats outside with several people, I look up and see 3-4 small birds like sparrows hovering right above us, I sit up, one bird lands on my mat and gets huge like a vulture, has a humanish/dolphinish round head, I'm concerned about catching some disease from it and shoo it off my mat

+ lying on table with thick down jacket discussing video system with its inventor (I say "13-14 bits per channel probably!", he says "no, 12", I say "what have you built with it?" He says "a kaleidoscope")

+ sexy time #1 (semi-lucid), starting with face up close, standing in mirror, say "no you can't leave", go to chair across room, call girl back again, go bring her back, sit down and BJ and wake/transition

+ fence latches old home side entrance, dial in kitchen going crazy, interacting with young/mid teens

+ sexy time #2 multiple at once (fingers) end with BJ

+ sexy time #2.5: barber shop for naked men, what gender are the (naked) stylists? See sexy pose of petite hot latinas, see (escort?) advertisements, find sexy latina and position her and wake

many scenes in later dreams:

+ red-white-blue basketballs, game of horse with (naked girl?)

+ pool/billiards game, sign ups full, aims too thick & adjusting, price and quality and weight of pool cue ("you should keep it clean")

+ meal planned: bottle of stringed zuchini in mustard/mayonaise sauce, spooning it out onto a plate

+ with girl I like, avacado-sized head, cradle it in right hand, gently kiss her cheeks, she's says she's scared because I'm so big, I'm heartbroken but pull back and sulk quietly, not responding any more to her, she leaves, comes back, and hints that if we were to get compatible dentures on the right side from a dentist things could be different

+ the guy has returned: I reach to shake his hand and he leaves me hanging. He's all serious and says that he did not hear back about any positions for me and that there were not any recommendations. I get teary but try to hold it in and mention finally that "McCall (of Lonesome Dove) recommended my work" and leave, then I get cell phone call from my sister who's telling me that the volunteer traveling basketball team is accepting sign-ups, that there is no salary but there is a share in the earnings. I wonder if the team expenses would eat up all our profits and we'd not earn anything. I tell my sister "pass" (on the offer) and hang up the phone.

early:
+(f) sitting in the car with all the cousins, I'm looking around amazed because it has been such a long time since we've been on a road trip like this

later:
+(f) outside? doing something with very tall poles disappearing up into the sky (tall ceiling?) There is a moving metal chute attached to the poles, and I'm looking up at it wondering why it doesn't fall down, it is leaning away from the pole. On another pole the metal chute seems attached better.

+ outdoors, lots of activity all around. A (helicopter?) flies overhead and a bunch of skiers jump out of it. They're using their skis as parachutes to slow their desent, and so their skies are up in the air and their heads are facing the ground as they fall. They are falling into a little ravine/steep hill that allows them to turn upright and touch their skis down to the ground and get to skiing down the slope.

early:
+(f) some (people?) off in the distance, I come into a courtyard and enter into a room that has a soaking wet towel on the ground amidst a pool of water, and I'm hesitant to step on it [woken by wife snoring]

later:
+ [vivid, detailed]: on a farm, standing on a patio overlooking the fields. The farmer is to my left, I observe his (son?) going out into the fields. He goes into a grove of trees in order to get some farming equipment and I'm thinking that's a really long way to go to get and put back the equipment. He comes riding on a piece of farming machinery like a tractor. He's driving around back and forth on the thing, it has a huge roller on it with spikes that creates large divots in the ground kind of like a lawn aerator. There's a small animal like a dog or cat and it's running around the tractor and I'm concerned that it will get run over and the farmer and I are (trying to warn the driver of the tractor?). Then the tractor is a multi-legged "stomping" thing with about 6-8 legs on a side, mechanical legs and retract up and thrust down into the dirt. It is being used to break up the stiff dirt into soft dirt. Then the driver is walking in deep, wet mud with his own legs to break up the stiff turf.

I'm talking to the farmer and he's saying I'll need to be sleeping out in the fields. This doesn't bother me but I say I'll need more pillows, about 3-4 more. He wonders why I need so many, and I explain that I need 3-4 pillows in order to account for my bad back in order to prevent my back from sagging in the bed.

I'm walking up a hill past the farm and looking at the roads leading away. The (farmer?) is standing with me and points to one of the roads indicating that that's the one that people ride down. I start to correct him that I don't recognize the road but then I look and "remember" it, and I notice that there are a lot of people skating (skateboards) and boarding (snowboards, but no snow) down the road and hopping off of jumps and heading down the hill off the road. I start riding back down the rough asphalt road we're standing on, on a skateboard, back down the gentle slope towards the farm. I'm intently watching the road surface, there are some (not very deep) uneven places, potholes and exposed pipes that I'm riding over. I'm a bit concerned about falling with the speed I'm going and losing skin on the asphalt. I'm zig zagging to bleed off some speed. I eventually end up back in the farm house and I'm thinking there is some way to continuously skate back up to the top of the hill and keep on going. I'm thinking my legs are tired from all that standing on the skateboard.

+ very vivid: I'm in CH neighborhood, flying/floating/jumping on to the roof of a huge cement cube/building. There are dense areas of 2" nails sticking up from the cement and I have to choose my footing carefully. I'm looking off into the distance at the base of the hill going up S street and I'm looking for (opponents?). Some opponents come flying at me and I have to bat/push them away a few times.

+ (f) in the gym?

+ (f) top bunk of a bunk bed?

+ [vivid]riding motorcycle in a parking garage
I climb on my motorcycle and open some (glass?) doors and roll out onto the ramp of a parking garage. I'm driving and leaning in to the turns and sometimes turn wide. I stop on a downwards ramp stuck in traffic. A huge black SUV comes up and lightly pushes me a few inches, I feel the movement and look backwards in annoyance, the SUV driver says something?
