+(f) in some room, there's a friend there, narrator/thinking about a gun that kills by silently (boiling the blood?), what if somebody comes by our window with that gun and shoots us while we sleep? + in my camping tent which suddenly collapses, something happened to the main lines. Friends offer to help. I realize I didn't stake the perimeter of the tent at all. The tent is on a raised rocky ledge so staking will be hard. Friend puts long metal stake on one of the corners + parking lot at night, cars are pulling in and out I'm trying to find a space? I'm trying to get out we're going somewhere other cars are pulling into and out of spot and are in my way. I wonder how I'm going to find my way (in a caravan of vehicles). I see on the main street that a large long tourist bus has arrived (it's going with us), I'm relieved, I'll just follow that bus even if it's slow, there are some other cars pulling to the curb that are in our group. + someone (wife?) says son S2 should take off his ring (?). I'm looking at our area, and I see that all of our firewood everywhere is smoldering, with coals, and burning in some places. Everywhere I look, our wood is catching fire. This is very dangerous we could all get burned out! Someone piled the wood on top of the stoves and it is getting to hot and catching fire. I look into one stove and the fire has almost gone out, I want to light it again, so I blow on to the embers to get it blazing again. DC comes up and we kiss deeply. + I'm in a (tram?) high up and have a sky-diving apparatus on. There's another guy and a girl instructor. She's giving bad instructions, I'm panicking because I don't know where any of the important controls are on the vest. She's saying "pull this thing" and I'm saying "where!? which one?" I imagine falling through the sky without knowing how to deploy my chute. She's telling us how to inflate cushioning areas on the vest (to help with landing I wonder?). Our tram approaches the ground and it's basically right at ground level and I think "well, should we just step out? What's so hard about this? Is this all there is to it?" I step out on to the ground and get my pants stuck on a low fence and get untangled. A woman guide says "OK, let's go exploring now! Make sure to take your precious gold jewelry along with you." + (f) I'm in some porch waiting for some items from the clerks. They're all young people, the girls are saying the guy should deal with me, they don't want to. I imagine I'm old and unattractive so that's why they're saying that . Inside a room like a dormitory with lots of beds laid out I see my cat(?) and then jump on to my bed and my cat jumps there too(?) + (f) walking on a sidewalk next to a line of middle-school students who are singing, I see and listen for a bit. I'm walking a little faster than they are. Up ahead are some more people including some girls who are standing around in a doorway.
+(f?) lightsaber on off, waving around, button cover falls off, still works but have to push harder, it's inconvenient without the button cover. The blade is a bright blue color. + giving superman flying take-off lessons: fly low over grass, then "pull up" suddenly into the sky. Barrel rolls preferred to avoiding obstacles over simply weaving around them -- give demonstration but a huge buffalo latches on to me and hinders my movement + driving to Reno: turn right, speed limit sign, signs look different in Nevada, you have to really keep your eye out for them, they're sort of small and square and blue-colored. I remember the speed trap approaching Reno and drive slowly. The road starts out as a very winding two-lane road [more windy than I recall] it soon becomes a high rocky path that I'm walking on (no road any more), then I find myself standing in a depression (formed by the feet of all the people who stood her previously) on two huge high abutting boulders, look at ground for best path down, it's to the left, jump down but go right, fall head-first put out arm, it'll probably break + entering room with renowned (movie directors/publishers?) and friend, everyones seated around a table for a meeting. We go to my friend's place at the table, he says I should have a place at the table, friend says I can find a place, there are name cards at the places, he's looking next to him, but I see my name on a card across the table from my friend [reading upside down!], I'm a bit surprised they know me and put a place for me. + in car, detour intersection, busses all turning right, I go straight, then walking. Guy wants to go to Azerbaijan, I point the way along the detour route. I try to say "detour" in <foreign language> [but in waking retrospect used the incorrect word that sounds similar to the correct not]. The guy starts following us and I think about telling him again the correct route but don't. + observing (elderly?) people stranded on steep tall cliff trying to climb/jump down, they're trying to slide slowly down vertically by digging their shoes into the hillside, a man is going to jump, is he close enough to the ground so he won't get hurt? He jumps and lands on his back against another rock, but he seems OK. Then DO flying over the scene the people on the cliff are talking about the woman who killed someone. She seems to be lying face down as if drowned in a rocky tide pool by the edge of the ocean, but she moves and says something. + getting into bed, there are tons of thick comforters at the foot of the bed piled up, I get in around the foot. I see a slow-moving large black mouse appear on top of the pile of comforters, it starts to walk around on top of the pile. I think there's lots of hiding places inside that pile. I shove it on to the floor, it moves slowly and doesn't avoid me. Then I see several large rats on the floor. I freak out and call for my wife, we put one into a cage, some discussion about these rodents. +(f) in swimming pool, I find/am looking for shoes?
+(f) observing a pool game, one guy only does well when (a pig sits on him?) he slams a shot into the corner pocket which violently rocks around in the pocket before falling +(f) in an assembly line and I'm excited that the big hunks of sliced salmon have shown up, I'm running around talking to someone trying to get the line moving +(f) something about jumping on a high podium with a bear
+ (f, started full dream, eventually lost to fragment) with boy scouts (?) and stuff in the van? + locker room I'm walking through a locker room looking for a locker to use. I have a padlock in my hand. I find a locker without a lock on it and open it but it turns out not be suitable. I walk back the way I came, looking at the shelves of lockers, small ones, each with a combination lock with different colored dials on them. I find a locker? I think about changing into my swim suit. + spider woman With wife, walking by a glass display of a woman in side who is the "spider woman." My wife looks in and walks on. I look in. All I really notice is the face of a woman with a fairly creepy smile on it showing large white square teeth. I expect that at any moment she could lunge at the glass with her fangs out but she doesn't. + by the pool I'm standing by some bleachers next to a swimming pool. There are other people in the bleachers. Spoiler for nude talk: I notice that on the other end of the bleachers there is a naked woman reclining, I have a side view. I see her breasts clearly and get a bit of a view of dark pubic hair. There is another woman standing up next to her also naked, with sort of weird breasts. Later on I'm in another room and I see the two woman, dressed now, and think "ah, that's a shame that they got dressed" + FA wife, bed, student I find myself in bed (prior house? not current). My wife is working with a student at the desk to the left of the bed. I reach over and tip my wife's chair backwards so that she falls back and sprawls in the bed with me. I massage her legs. I think the student's parent are in another room. I consider getting out of bed without clothes.
Well my schedule should be returning to normal now. It's going to take a few days to recover from all the late nights. Still managed a dream or a couple of frags, not sure if they're related or not. + I'm on a city street and circling an intersection in a car trying to slow down. Outside there are people from (my home town?) who are critical of me for some reason. A pig comes down the line of people? I'm walking up an incline (with my dad?) into a restaurant, I put my things down and try to select a table, they're all leaning because they're on the incline too. My friend (dad?) says "we're going to eat really well!" (?)
recall starting to make a bit of a comeback + I'm in front of a screen talking about my code with a guy and a girl. It's some sort of database system and I'm trying to remember the name of the index which is used to look up things in further indices, I'm scrolling through something trying to find it + (vivid, present), I'm moving (DO) through a hilly city. Main feature I keep thinking about is a super tall broadcast/transmission tower that I can see at all times. We're going to our friend's place which is near this tower. I'm concerned about the effects of them living so close to this very powerful transmission tower. At some point the hills block most of the view of the tower except for the top. I think this is the Sutro tower in San Francisco. We come upon (flying DO still) an empty top floor of some parking garage that is slightly slanted and entirely empty except for some kids skateboarding there. I think this is a great place for skateboarding. (1st person) standing on the pavement next to a skateboard I step on to it and want to do some "wheely-circles" [can do IWL]. I start spinning counter clock-wise and I start counting my revolutions. I get going faster and faster and I close my eyes and keep counting, all the way up to 20 and then I step off the board and make a "ta-da" gesture. I'm then sitting in (my childhood bedroom?) looking at the various skateboards I've had in my life placed on the lower shelf, and thinking about narrow vs. wide trucks. + I'm walking outside with lots of people around in <foreign country>. I see childhood neighborhood acquaintance JD there and wonder if he likes it/fits in (because he's of a different culture/ethnicity than the majority here). We're riding in a car/van and talking about work. I'm talking about startups and he says yeah but his other job paid better. I say that the advantage is that even if the start-up fails, if there are like 20 people working there, they're very start-up minded and tend to work at other start-ups. If this start-up fails, then you have 20 contacts spread all throughout different companies. +(f, impression) where's my backpack, I need it in order to go to school +(f, impression) water running among trees +(f, impression) cafeteria line, food, lunch at <company N>.
+(f) long earlier dream, playing cards with people + Back in old home Wandering around inside and outside our old home for a long time. We've returned. Out in the garden I'm amazed to find some plants of ours still growing. They're short but they're living. I pick a leaf or two from them and hold them up for my wife to see. I'm doing something with our cars which are in the garage. Inside, something's not right. Before we sold the house we refinished all the floors to brand-new condition, but these floors are dull and scratched. I ask my wife "didn't we refinish the floors so that they were shiny and new-looking?" I think the realtor must have been letting people inside the house while we were away. I'm confused and am trying to remember correctly. Outside I walk up to a car in our driveway (not our car). It is a white, low, sports car, like a miata, with its front pointing towards the street. I see that the gasoline tank cover section on the right rear corner of the car (which lifts up and is made of the car body material) of the car has been left lifted up exposing the gas cap. I think this means somebody has been perhaps siphoning away the gas. I think of opening the gas cap and smelling to see if there's any gas left. I also think about shaking the car to feel for the sloshing gas. I move on. I look back at the house and see "our cars" parked in the driveway in a way that seems to encroach on public space a bit, but it's still part of our property so we have the right. The house that abuts up against ours also has a parking area covered in concrete outside. That area is on an incline that covers the corner, I think they can park their car there but it is less convenient than our place. A woman turns the corner and stops in her tracks when she sees our cars in there positions, she thinks they don't belong there. I'm (sitting?) on the pavement near several women who I think are discussing my house (and the cars?). I wonder if they recognize me as the owner of my house but I don't think they do, and I listen in to what they're saying. A third woman indicates that she doesn't care about what's going on. Inside (my house?) there are two women, and one is trying to fill a bucket up (to water plants) from a strange tap but can't get the water out. I start some sort of pumping motion with the tap which gets water flowing, and then I figure out I can turn the handle and water will flow without pumping. Outside on the street, I'm riding scooters with (3?) other guys. There is a sign that indicates that the lesser-experienced skater should now get the front position on the scooter and I see the 2-man scooter the back skater takes the front position. Then we approach a 90-degree corner turning to the right, and there is another sign that <some name, famous skilled skater> should take the front position due to the speed and the difficult corner. There's a short straight section, then a 90-degree corner turning to the left, and the other skaters start to cut the corner, crossing into the oncoming traffic lane. I tell them not to do that, because some actor guy (who played Scotty on the original Star Trek) could come barreling around the corner in a car. I struggle to remember his character's name, and finally say "Scotty." +(f, impression) something about loading up into a space ship
Bedtime slipping badly last two nights, this last night was better (12:30am or so), but need to return to dedication to regular and earlier bed times. Recall is worse on nights with bedtime after midnight I've noticed. There were more dreams than this and were pretty interesting I sense. Really need to focus on recall to get it back up to a much higher, more present average every night. + Electronic project: paper airplane simulator My friends from high school had finished their digital design/electronics project and were demoing it. It had large swiveling vertical sections on top of the base circuit board. I told them not to move the project until it had been graded, because I did the same thing in my class [true], we kept our project, once working, overnight in the lab, in order to be graded the next day and not to risk something being shaken loose. I asked them what it did and it was a "paper airplane simulator!" I thought about inputting my favorite stunt plane design to see what the project would do. + "Ugga Bugga" laughing Baby I'm (babysitting?) with a baby of some friends. It's in an upper bunk (like a airplane overhead luggage rack) and it (falls?) down into my hands. They want to know if it laughs or opens its eyes. I'm supposed to say a particular word to it. It's eyes are covered with a hat. Instead, I decide to sort of tickle it and say "Ooga Booga!" to it, to which it opens its eyes a little and opens its mouth in what looks like a smile. I call to the parents and say its opening its eyes and smiling. I then say "Ooga Booga!" again to it. + Homework? I'm in class, it's towards the end of the semester. I realize I haven't done most of the assignments. I'll have to do a marathon week-long session to finish them all. But I don't know what they are! Did they hand them out? I ask the girl at the desk in front of me if she has the assignments. Then the woman teacher at the front of the room starts giving out the assignments.
Now I'm way behind on DJing due to late nights hanging out with our guests and lots of car trips showing them around. 2015-09-15 very vivid dream + I'm walking up the hills in my childhood neighborhood, talking to people, I come across a grocery store meat counter (empty) and I'm saying usually there is meat in there. Enter some house and while slightly dark everything is amazingly clear. I'm in a room with two grand pianos right next to each other, and I go "oooh!" at them, I'd love to play them. The owner of the house is clearly a musician, it looks like a music studio room, there are folders of music all around the place. I look down (through a window?) on to an open room a floor below and there is another beautiful grand piano there, and I say "ooooh!" again. I glance out the various windows facing different directions and out of each one I see beautiful views of trees and water in the distance, and say "aaahhh!" at the lovely scenes. I'm now down in an large open floor plan area, a kitchen/dining area, there is another piano here (the one I saw from above?), and in the distance I see the realtor scurrying around trying to stay out of my way but also interested in what we think of the place. I come to the keyboard and look at it, the keys are very odd, quite thin (like chopsticks) and oddly curved like the teeth of a "Pau'an" alien in Star Wars. I think of trying to play the Beethoven: Sonata "Pathetique" Op. 13 - II. Adagio cantabile movement [which at one point years ago I could actually play all the way through from memory] But I can't play it because the keys are too thin, and looking at the keyboard I notice it's not as wide as a normal piano keyboard, either. Then the realtor is there with our group and is quoting us a price for renting the house that the owner wants: about $900 per person. One of us says "no, no," that is way too high, for that price we could go to Paris for 3 weeks. I think I wouldn't want to be in Paris for that long. The dream ends with me back outside, now DO floating over water, watching two little girls swimming in the water of the Bay, near a rock, just outside the house we were in. I know they are the daughters of the owner of the house. One girl is about 5, and the second one is a toddler swimming with her older sister. I think the salt water might get into their eyes. They are Indian (Asian) ethnicity. + (f) (maybe different dream?) I'm sitting in some sort of kitchen area working at trying to assemble something on the table in front of me. The owners of the house come by, two Asian women, one of them picks up her keys from a plain set of standalone high shelves, they say something. 2015-09-16 no recall: fair amount of dream activity, but it all receded just beyond my ability to remember any details. 2015-09-17 + in a parking garage, I'm trying to "reserve" a spot by standing in it, there aren't many cars yet. Outside, a guy becomes aggressive and I have some altercation with him. Later I'm in my apartment and I know he's coming so I go outside to lock my outer 2nd door, and I mistakenly close the outer door and throw the deadbolt (from the outside) and I realize I'm locked outside and the enemy guy approaches. I'm holding my musical instrument which is put together strangely with some sections upside down. I'm trying to reason with this guy despite really not liking him. +(f) I'm telling someone where something is. There is a wide mountain/hill range in front of us and I'm gesturing and describing the place as being just on the other side of these hills. + "sex" with TZ: Spoiler for sort of sexy action: I come across her lying on the ground in half-lit area, she's wearing red shorts. I get on top of her and she thrusts her hips up into me, which makes me "enter" her (through clothing?) and we go at it for a few seconds, not much sensation. + Angband dream! Overhead map view, I was toodling around a map level, decided I should quaff my Enlightenment potion (actual item) to fully map the level and see all items, landed in some "magic dampening" corridor/trap (not in the game), and was reading about a pool of "coagulated" something that produced a scroll that if you read it would boost your mana super high against a particular monster(?). I wondered if there were magic-impairing terrain if there were corresponding melee-impairing terrain for warriors.
+(i) politicians and an election? + bowling, get a spare (10 pin) +(f) observe fight in area with tall walls + wild dogs on the hill, they attack, I fight back with Thor's hammer + in a guy's house, I'm walking around his bedroom on the upper floor, I need something from his computer but his amber screen is jumpy and glitchy, I need to press the "sync" button and it helps a little bit + cousins present I'm reading a program written by my dad's cousin: her children all feature in the show and so do I. Then I read it again and I see "too bad <my name> could not participate". I see one guy's face clearly, I think he's the son of one of the daughters of my dad's cousin, but I get that family confused with some friends of ours. I think his features are similar in all the male children in that family, they all look like their mother -- but that mother is not a cousin, she's just a friend of ours. +(f) old man picks up a toy / summons it from nowhere? Riding in a truck.
+ I'm looking over my bicycle: there are some clumps of poop on it, one is one the wheel. I look again and I don't see it, I think that means I leaned over the wheel and it got on to my shirt, I look down and yup it did. I put the bike in the bathtub under the running water. There is a (weird piece) of the bike also covered in poop so I put this under the water and wash it clean. It's a shiny metallic part [unrecognizeable as part of a bike]. I'm thinking if I should wax the bike. I'm now looking at 4 parallel metal beams on it. I wonder if people would laugh if I did wax it and it got "too shiny." +(frag, or short dream?) There are two bottles of high powered booster fuel in small bottles with little tubes coming out the top. You can pour this into your motorcycle and it would go really fast for a while thereafter +(i, impression, not even a clear fragment) on the freeway? + it's after normal restaurant working hours and I'm heading to McDonald's for some fast food (burger, nuggets). Apparently a lot of other people have the same idea as they appear in front of me as I'm walking, they'll get there first. After hours, I think McD's only take huge orders, like $50 minimum, or 100-200 hamburgers at a time. I wonder if they'll accept my small order. It turns out they do. I think that what they do is they serve your single burger from the large bulk orders, then replace the burgers in the bulk order. Standing (behind the counter?) with (McD employees?). Spoiler for sexual situation: A fairly overweight woman bends over forwards and "backs it up" (we're both fully clothed) into my crotch. She is really grinding her butt into me and gyrating her hips in an amazing way. She's fairly porky and I don't consider her attractive but she is doing such an amazing job than I find my self looking down and imagining doing it doggy-style with her and getting hard. Another McD girl employee joins her at one point? I'm standing with a guy and a girl (whom he likes?) outside. I tell him that he should play in a band, "because chicks dig guys who play in bands. I used to play in a band, too." In line for more McD's. It's inside the building that is covered with a clear tarp. There is construction/remodelling work going on there and they only let a few people in at a time. I look up and see several workmen on the edge of the 2nd floor of a parking garage laying layers of wet cement on the vertical surface of the edge of the garage floor. One guy is smoothing it out with a trowel. The edge of the floor is about 1 meter tall and is colored a vivid blue. It's my turn, a woman directs me inside and tells me to "go upstairs." I go in and it's a confusing collection of stairways and corridors. She points me in the right direction and I go up. I get to a place where there are some more stairways in front of me but they're all too narrow for a person to walk through. It's like I'm standing underneath bleachers that extend above me. Out in front of the bleachers above me there is a show or a concert going on. There's a woman sitting up on the bleachers with a big head which is "in the way." A man says something like "too bad about her head being in the way, or you could climb up there." + walking outside sort of "back stage" to the main building who's front entrance is on the other side. I'm walking on my university campus (apparently) and the computer science department is referred to as "K5". I meet a friend from my class and ask if he took the advanced AI class in his first year (I thought he did). He tells me no, that instead he took "architectural modeling" and it was a really tough class.
Slept a bit longer today, quite tired, and had good late morning dreaming. So much that it gave the feeling of "I can't hold all these dreams in my head at once." A big improvement over this last week of onesy twosy dreaming nights. Not a lot of detail but just sort of key moments recalled, but still much better than other recent dreams. Hopefully this signals a turnaround in my recall heading now for a "local maxima." Not close to lucidity in any dreams. 2015-09-08 23:30 bedtime 2015-09-09 04:30 + playing "basketball" at the park with a small bouncy ball (one inch diameter, like for jacks). I'm trying to dribble this thing, and it's always getting away from me and I have to run faster and faster to try to keep up with it. On the hill side where the road leads up to the middle level, there is a hole in the wall and something about the ball going in there and my wife giving stern directions about it. Lots of water in the evening culminated in a water waking around 5 hours, the earliest I've noticed a waking in at least a week or more. Actually pulled off the will to sit on the edge of the bed for a bit for a short WBTB. Almost felt like I was up too long still, as I felt almost no drowsiness as I returned to bed. Maybe 20 minutes falling asleep, trying to WILD, to a mantra. Fell asleep unconsciously. + work, colleagues I'm in a meeting with J the engineering founder of company R. He's going over a list (written, I see the items on a page as he discusses them) with (Microsoft?) about all the problems in their API that prevent hardware vendors from reaching peak performance. If these are not dealt with in time company R will go out of business. I'm walking towards a long straight stairway, and pass an office on the left with a guy working on a computer, I feel he's a bit worried about me seeing his screen. He seems to be Josh Brener's character from "The Internship". I'm heading up this stairs and he's beside me, I ask him if "he's going to perforce later." At the top of the stairs I encounter large crowds of former colleagues. "Hey <my name>!" they call constantly! I wave and shake hands. I see JM (company 3) sitting among others, [probably the only real former colleague in the dream]. I see AM he's standing by some very large mini-refrigerator server systems with lots of blinking lights. I say "<hardware devices> are all smoke and mirrors, all the work is done on these servers!" AM says something in response to that. I'm greeting more colleagues. Some guys behind me say "Hey <my name>!" I turn and look behind me and see some non-engineering colleagues who I vaguely recognize. I'm shaking lots of people's hands. Then I see a particularly "good friend" [false] and I say "hey!" and while I shake his hand with my right hand I reach with my left and and slap/clasp his right hand also with my left. later (multiple wakings, final waking 08:30-9?) + billiards I'm playing a team game of pool. Our opponents are at the table. The guy has a ball and the cue ball against the rail about half-way between the corner and side pocket, and he sets up to bank it into the near corner. He whacks the balls so hard the object ball goes flying at high speed and lands amazingly enough in the corner pocket. The guys around are saying "great shot!" but I'm mumbling under my breath "anyone can whack the balls around like that and get lucky." Then he (or his teammate?) tries to make another shot with a lot of English and miscues and scratches. My teammate takes the cue ball and I remind him he has ball-in-hand because of the foul. There is another scratch and I take an object ball up and put it near the spot. +(f) sex Vague, short + parking, house with people, story about vacation Arrive "home" to friend's house the woman is driving and leaves the car parked on the side of the road, I'm a bit concerned that other people are trying to get by it? I'm telling the story of my recent vacation, I say "I was just in <place> and it was so hot there I was sweating all day long. But at night, it was still *warm* and very comfortable. You could sit outside at a restaurant and be completely comfortable." People around nod agreement in how nice that is. + concert, borrow instrument I have an upcoming concert, and I remember the guy in the house full of people I've been spending time in said I could borrow his instrument. I have a pile of coins to offer in way of some compensation. I go in the house and ask him very nicely if I could borrow his instrument. I'm surprised when he seems hesitant (says no?) because he already told me yes. I recall then that the concert is later *today* and I also have another one tomorrow. I'm screwed if I can't borrow his instrument. +(f) give toy to boy I'm in some store-like place. I've unwrapped a medium-sized toy (Lego something?) and given it to the boy. I'm wondering if he wonders why it's unwrapped. + in house with people, girl Again in the house with lots of people (where I'm a guest?), I'm with a girl and I'm caressing her stomach and head north to her chest. I'm a bit concerned about what the guy will thing, the girl is OK with it. I tell her "I love you" and kiss the side of her head, she tells me "I love you, too!"
+ walking through a small city, come across a beautiful path of poppies. There are purple, orange, all different colors, I call to my wife to come look at the flowers. Outdoors, group of people, one guy is preparing (barbeque sauce?) food? BBQ? + long sequence, many scenes I see a ping pong table, someone I know is practicing his game, there's a normal horizontal table and a vertical one (like folded for storage) (for practicing serves solo?) A guy goes up high and is offering his truck backed up against the loading dock to take refugees. I'm covering up my truck with a fake covering with a company name and a phone number and the name of some unhead-of small Asian country starting with "M." There's a phone number on the van but it's very short, it must be a small country. I'll have to drive very carefully in order to avoid any attention from the police. I'm standing here arranging the cover and looking at it for a long time. I have two cars in the company parking garage. How am I going to get both of them out? I'll have to drive one out, then somehow get back and drive the other one out. I want to get my stuff out of the garage before the employees arrive for the day. Oh, my I must have been here all night long without sleeping! Employees are arriving early for work already. They're dedicated. It's only about 8-8:30am. How will I get past the guard? I get out and there are lots of people around, this must be a fancy company everything is catered. Inside the building (in a bar/restaurant?) there is a small group of musicians sitting in playing formation (4?). I don't see one of <my instruments.> I sit on a high bar stool nearby and start to play. My <mouthpiece> is new and feels stiff and sounds a bit muddy and flat, I say "it's new." There's a guy walking by who I think knows me. I play some fast, messy scales/arpeggios up and down. Including starting on a high A-note and doing my usual fast downward warm-up arpeggio. I'm a bit rusty so it sounds a bit sloppy. I want something from all the catered stuff around. I see a portable bar of a variety of growing fresh herbs, about 1 foot tall each plant. I look down and see a small platter of some branches of a plant with small leaves and flowers on it, I think "OK, I'll just take this" but someone says no I shouldn't (?). ------------------------------- The last dream was pretty long, felt continuous, and had a pretty high presence. I'm going to have to figure out some way to wake myself up more at night with my new sleep/exercise schedule, it's keeping me pretty tired. May have to go for a nap during the day.
2015-09-07 00:31 bedtime. Too late, dang. Watched a couple of movies in the evening right before bed, stayed up to finish one. Bad idea, recall fairly poor. Still missing a strong feeling of presence & vividness, at least, or it's vanishing quickly upon waking. Need to really put strong effort into recall, noticing wakings, and get back to being excited about waking during the night to recall dreams. Wanted to do a WILD attempt but just couldn't get up during the night. Need daytime naps to take the edge off with my increased exercise? Noticed at least one waking and did some mental recall, I think most of these were lost. Need to record in the middle of the night! 07:21 + flooded room I'm in a (bath?)room and some water has slopped on to the floor. I need to clean it up. I'm hitting/adjusting/prying something there and then I realize I've created a huge leak in the bathtub which is emptying on to the floor in a big flow. I scream "HELP! HELP! COME HERE!" to my wife. I try to plug up the leak with a towel and (that stops or slows the flow?) + Field/Fries Walking outdoors daytime alongside some athletic fields the path branches and I take the right branch. I'm walking towards a practice, I'm hungry, I realize I'm carrying a package of McDonald's for the players, I open it up and see lots of packs of fries, I eat some (with ketchup?). Arrive at the athletic practice (football?) there are (small formations doing drills?) + winter motel Walking along the side of a street (curb to my left, street to my right) in an outdoors wooded area, it's winter(?), walking by a line of cars extending out into the road, across it, and well down the intersecting road. They're waiting their turn to check in at the motel. There aren't many motel in this remote area. Most of the cars are white? I glance to the left and see some lights and see the small motel/inn there. I'm glad I had already arranged my stay at another place earlier. + charge mammoth boat/sex LOTR attraction? There are options. I chose the giant mammoth to climb up/board/attack. It's more like a boat. The defenders are in very strong positions above me so it's really hard to make progress against them. There are lots of protuberances and statues to climb on though. I look down to the left and see churning water, with more spiky statues there beneath the surface attached to the ship/mammoth, so falling into the water is not necessarily safe. I make it up to the top and move through the crowd. I grab a very small being (like a doll) who I think is the leader. It's naked? I'm trying to determine its gender, it's not clear. I engage in some sexual contact with this thing. + door/note/shrimp Walking through town in shops, I'm a bit aware of my path [day practice!] was on a side road now I'm on a larger road. I wave to my wife who's farther up the road? We go through a door leading down some steps (still outside), my wife is behind me, I brush her hand which is holding the door and she grabs her hand back and says something about me hitting her hand, I say "well if you'd walk ahead of me where I could see you that wouldn't happen." Down at the bottom of the steps some people glance back at me saying "thanks" (with a sarcastic tone?).I think they wanted me to hold the door for them? I'm given a note I on a small (triangular?) piece of (dark?) paper instantly recognize as being from my, it's her handwriting, is this her last note to me instead of that email?, It's dated "April XX" and I'm trying to remember date of her passing, was this note before or after that time? I hear her voice? she is talking about the shrimp. She's saying the heads are tasty but the tails are nasty. "It's too bad you can't just eat the head because it gives you a buzzy feeling." I hold the shrimp in my hand (large prawn style) the head looks sort of normal with some little hairs poking out of its mid-section but the tail looks like a big segmented pink worm body. I wonder why the tails are not tasty, I think it's perhaps because it hasn't been deveined, so I turn it over and pry open the tail to look for a poop vein.
Still waiting for my new & improved regular sleep schedule to kick in. To bed about normal time, and up after approximately 8 hours in bed, but still anticipating the alarm and woke a bit early with not great recall. Not much sense of having dreamt during the night, a bit unusual, usually I feel that I've dreamt a lot even if I don't remember it. +(f) something about stock + in a foreign language class where I'm not a beginner, but the class is for beginners. The teacher is asking the students to read a text that a beginner now way could read. The teacher asks me a question and I answer in the foreign language using a grammatical form I've heard but I'm not certain of, and I say "but I haven't studied that so I'm not sure I used it correctly." + I'm standing outside on the street a few houses down the street from my childhood home at the intersection. Facing towards the park I think there's a cave down below the street with a bear in it. Should I go look at it? Turn towards the uphill and see there's a bear there, a fairly large grizzly or black bear. It's calm, but I move quickly to my car which is right there, if I get inside I'll be safe. I walk around the back of the car to the left passenger door, and get in kneeling on the seat, I'm trying to close the door but my feet are in the way. The bear will get me soon. I keep trying to close the door and it's certainly been too long, but I manage to close the door. I'm now in the front seat kneeling across the seats with my head pointing towards the front passenger side. I feel the bear's claw lightly swipe/touch me on the head, the window is open and the bear can reach in. I'm standing up on something like a lifeguard's tall chair. People are saying something like they were expecting me and Sensei to be teaching the class.
