couple small shots of liqueur in the evening 00:30 - 01:00 bedtime 04:30 + I'm adjusting a small device like a car radio, there's a car A/C circular vent on the left hand side, it's a portable office A/C, I'm talking with my cube-mate about it I'm a (traffic cop?) working in foggy city there are solid grey clouds/fog over head, I'm standing in the middle of a fairly busy intersection, and two people I know zip by me at high speed in sports cars, one on the left, one on the right + we've discovered the truth about McDonald's: the food containers are *empty*! With friends I open up a pack of McD's food and see that the food containers are all empty, no food in them at all. I think we'll be rich. Suddenly, 2 girls with long knives attack (entering through the window), our counter attack subdues them into a corner, pounding them with chairs or other large things to avoid their knives, I notice that they are (cyborgs?) their bodies/legs are supported by metal tubes, ask one out for a date, she seems OK, I help her up by her arms (exposed boobs?) + I'm standing, getting my robes sewed up/taken off by my female servants, one comes up behind me and wraps her leg around the front of me and moves close, I reach around behind me, grab her butt, fondle it and pull her closer into me (feels good!), then realize I know her (ND), stop doing this, then wonder if I should give her a tip, feel embarrassed. 10:00 + I'm standing in some very large caverns that extend before me, turns a corner where I'm standing and extends off to my left. In front of me the cave walls are all a dark blood red semi-precious stone, and there are Buddha statues and "reflections" of statues. I think I remember seeing the rock walls in liquid form splashing over the statue then freezing in their current state. I look to the room to the left and it's full of large statues. I'm in a small reading room like a library, and I"m speaking with some entity that is a statue or a book with a face, I'm talking about books about buddhism and how I'd like to see some books which are approachable for beginners, then I watch as the entity summons the books to the bookshelf in front of me and I see the books on the shelve change to the new ones. My wife comes in and I tell her she can request her desired books from the entity. Someone tries to exit the room (stealing a book) and an alarm sounds and roll-down security doors close off the exit. A voice booms out "You will never be allowed to use the reading room again!" + I'm with a doctor, I'm looking at my arm, (the doctor says she didn't do something complete correctly?) and I look at a mole on my arm and think it's only a problem if it starts to change. It instantly starts growing and becoming irregularly shaped and flowing up my arm. Then I think it's like a 1/2 inch pine-needle-shaped germ that's crawling up the insides of my arm towards my shoulder, I get frantic for the doctor to stop it/ take it out. The doctor gives me "C??-256" which causes all of the needle-shaped germs inside me to glow bright red/pink, I look down at my naked torso and see it is covered with dozens of these bright pink little slashes. There is some narrated discussion about this C??-256 chemical compound and how it works. + I'm on a tennis court preparing to play with a friend. I see beyond some barrier a blonde girl and a black guy (I "think" I've seen them before). Then the guy and girl are on the court and I'm waiting for them to leave so I can start playing, but they keep on standing there. Eventually I get annoyed and ask them to leave, then I walk across the court to my opponent, carrying two tennis rackets, hand one racket to my friend, and head back to my side of the court considering my racket, it's like the old aluminum one I used to play with as a boy, with two strange rectangular chunks attached to the racquet neck. I make a few hits of the ball back and forth. +(f) some complicated high tech fighting scenario in a very crowded indoor location, forgot
Super long time in bed, but most of the first half of the night passed in unrestful half-sleep with many wakings without dreams 22:30 hand-written affirmations and intentions about lucidity, one page 23:00 2mg melatonin 00:00(?) bedtime +(f) climbing hills, vacant popcorn vendor stands + big political press conference, thankfully our room was blocked off from the thronging masses via a line of podiums + in a large room with many doors, see a leg right by me, see hair on it, notice it's a naked girl, dive in & sexy time for a bit, she loves it & I love it[*], then I realize the doors are all open, go to close them, people keep coming in, I keep pushing them out, they're really insistent and I really struggle to get them out and close everything and this continues until the dream ends/transitions Spoiler for (*) details, explicit 18+: as I realize that there's a naked girl lying down next to me with legs spread wide, I immediately move between her legs and place my mouth on her (ahem): I don't bother with teasing her inner thighs first, just dive right in. As I go in for the first time I sniff to detect her scent but I don't detect much of anything. She moans in pleasure at the contact, I really go to work on her. At one point I raise up both arms and squeeze each breast while continuing to eat her, she continues to moan and I feel an erection building + I'm clarifying with the (courier?) that the tickets I'm buying will arrive in time before the show, if the won't make it what's the point, courier assures me that there's time (the concert's in 2 weeks?), well that's OK then + playing ping-pong with my dad, he's doing quite well, every one of my serves from right to left goes long, I want to do overhead smash tennis-like-serves but the ceiling is so low that I can't even raise my racket over my head, I get in a serve from left to right that is low and fast and nicks the edge of the table on its way past my dad + (DO at start) they're digging the trenches for a massive defensive wall for the city, tall enough to repel any invasion, I see the trenches and they don't look all that big; riding up a massive ski lift up a long hill, the lift structure is made from massive (bicycle-like) chain links: the going-up part and the going-down part are on one structure but still separate, I'm closely observing the mechanism, I'm afraid that I may get trapped at the top and get hurt or have to go back down, (I get off ok?) + I'm pushing a long (toy?) miniature train (which is two trains parallel to each other) up an incline track, every few inches there is a little wire barrier that causes a sound (chime) to ring as the train passes it, I think this is to synchronize your dancing rhythm with your partner's (!), I'm keeping the two trains in sync well, at the top at the judging station the train cars all come apart (bad!) and I think I may have to do it over again + packing my tent, sleeping bag, and some poles into a large bag to place on top of my backpack, everyone else is packed I'm lagging behind, zipping up my sleeping bag the zippers don't work well; I see my favorite big rock that is slightly hollowed out like a bean-bag chair, comfy for sitting in, wait, or is that just a guy wearing a boulder costume?; some team sport competition; amusing sight: one of the teammates periodically is seen in a tiny red car having sex with a girl (2-3 times during the dream see this) the car is bouncing and squeaking to their movement; + arrive to a dinner party, someone brings out an elaborate (huge clam-shaped?) soufle-thing that suddenly starts to inflate and drip all over the table; climb up some stairs, hey did some kids open the presents that are for my kinds?, climb back down and there are some yellow bananas on the step below me; re-enter dinner party place there's a group of kids I'm leery of, I see the table and know they're waiting for me for the dinner awake several times in late morning, make it back to sleep via breath concentration and neck chakra visualization/meditation, late morning dreams vague 11:30 get up
Dreams last night were *really interesting* but recall of them not great in some cases: + in a group of friends, we've time travelled back a bit in time, we're in my paren't house, I hope we can make it through without them seeing us and causing paradoxes, the crowd of people is in theater-style seating in the dark, but my dad looks at us and cracks a big smile + group of friends, putting on hoodies (which one is best?), childhood neighborhood, take of flying down the streets/hills, turn a few corners (on our typical route left down F then left on A), see major power line downage, enter heavy construction area, trying to climb (should I do a spiderman climb?)/jump up pole to read its service number (32), leave area and a narrator is telling a man with a heavy English accent who walks by me not to interfere + arrive to street in front of childhood home, family dinner there on a long dining table in the street, my mother is receiving news about my arrival and it finishes it projects all sort of horrible end results and disasters and starts crying heavily, then she's narrating what happened and described that her son-in-law's mother was being rude to her like she typically does + flying with friends going somewhere over hilly cities/suburbs, we go to "my sister's house" and observe from the air (an army of cleaning people is working there?); later, leaving this house waiting for the hovering (alien?) air ships to land, something's wrong, there's too many and they're keeping their distance, they open fire, I fire a bazooka-style rocket launcher at one, miss, fire again at another more carefully and wait for the target lock sound, hear it, fire, and know that it's dead, there's no avoiding the homing rocket once it's locked on. + walk through outdoor daylight area, people there, I see a small "bread girl" and think about touching her bread boobs and either shrinking to her size or growing her to my size then stop when I realize how stupid it is to want to get with a girl made out of bread, I decide to fly away, but when I jump for take-off a full bottle of tequila falls out of my pant leg, I see a girl seated on the ground and go to her and pour tequila shots for us and a group, the weird little shot glasses have a lot of crumbs/sand around the rim and I think about brushing it off +(f) "backstage" at some camp/event large area lots of groups, walking through it; enter another back stage see an (ex-girlfriend?), lie down on top of her back saying "you know you want to get back together" we walk out + in a crowd of people like a video game scrambling for objects on the ground, I use a keyboard interface and try "get all" but that's disabled, I try to list the individual objects and get one by one but there's too much pandemonium to get sense of anything; a guy is struggling with my son to take things from a bag, they're both digging in, my wife is standing to the side, I look and see just things like bread + in a canoe on U. Lake in boy scouts, calm early morning, think about teaching MoSa canoeing merit badge, water levels are low and see the rocks below the surface, I'm canoeing, doing J stroke, sometimes alternating sides (like a noob), return to J stroke (like a cool canoer) enter R. lagoon, the obstacle course is messed up from the water being low, go to the end by R. camp, see a good obstacle, successfully go through it, see a deep pool light by a ray of the sun and there are goldfish in it, think that's odd, I should show the others, some non-scouts are camping in R. camp I catch a glimpse of them, their big SUV is parked *in the water* of the lagoon, head back out to the lake, catching another glimpse of the strange goldfish in the light.
mostly short moments: + my niece & sister have left my childhood home, but the priest is coming; my dad's sliced open all the very sugary looking muffins (there's a pumpkin pie one) on the platter and sampled some, they look good; Stalin comes for tea(?) +(f) the long-barrel shotgun with laser sighting is mounted to the ceiling, it's used to keep (students?) under control? + at work (B, Inc.), I'm leaving, but I'm trying to make sure the code will compile for when I archive it and take it to my new company, the build environment may be different there, I wonder about the Alpha processor code. + sampling ice cream with wife in the "Just Coffee" store arrive with family in car to outside the "Just Coffee" place [they only have coffee there], I say "yeah I could use a boost", look through the windows trying to see the insides of the store, I see napkins and condiments like a ketchup bottle on a counter, inside we see they have snacks and ice-cream, my son S2 voices his disappointment at the selection, in the ice cream aisle my wife wants me to take a sample but I won't since it's not right to do that, I see a chunk of circular ice-cream sandwich where wedge (for samples) was taken out, maybe it's OK to sample, I take a bite from a medium-sized unwrapped/open chunk of green (mint?) ice cream and it tastes severely of freezer-burn, the cookies-n-cream open sample chunk is much better, I point out to my wife repeatedly that the phone number of the clerk is written on the ice cream, then the clerk is there and I tell him that the cookies-n-cream is much better than the green one.

+ vivid amazing long flying/gliding dream among steep tall mountainous seascapes: cupping the air with my hands and soaring in slow circles over the landscapes and crowds of people going "ooo! ahh!" at the sight of me, teaching friends to do the same (almost no wind left though!) +(f) kids at the beach on an inclined sandy hill, don't play too close or you'll get sand on people + kissing my kids at a really young age, promising we'll go to our favorite yogurt place, but how to get there from here, oh yes let's take "680", blind left(U) turn on odd traffic light signal there's a huge line of cars (in the left lane), think the signal maybe was the fusion of two arrow signs + See JoLa (KC) at party, he's young and buff looking and dark haired, sudden WTF moment, how did I get here, how long have I been here (missed it)? + It's super late at the office, quite dark, see ChDo shake his hand as he leaves, go to my cube, someone's drunk friend is in there which annoys me, I look at my cube wall and see that my colleagues have gone "cube signing" (like yearbook signing but they sign their messages on the walls of the cube) and I missed it, but I see my own signature with my old cell phone number from presumably long ago, see FrFi zip by my cube opening (curly tussled hair), call him back, he comes, shakes hand, super other tall guy DaGe (DC) also comes (didn't call him) but shook his hand, too. + walk by a room with open door, see it's the home's exercise room, decide to go in for a look around, open door, see naked guy there posing in front of a mirror, I scream like a little girl and run out from the room ("AAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEK!"), go to bathroom, want to do #2, the toilet is the size of a teacup and 1 meter off the ground, see 2nd larger toilet on the left of the first but it's still too small and to high up off the ground, think about how to aim my butt, notice naked gym guy looking in from across the hall, close the venetian blinds + sitting at a banquet in rows of tables (like at a conference, wide rows of tables and everyone's sitting on one side facing the front), the guys in front of us (lot of them) are getting drunk, I want to order a type of alcohol from the waiters but can only think of the name "Rothschild", then I think why not just order a bourbon and coke, the guy in my row says "too sweet," and I find I've pulled out the entire loaf of bread from the bag, putting it on my plate, wonder WTF I did that for, and put the bread back in the bag; the guy in the front row has a tasty looking big roll with red slices of salami/beef lying on top of it
No wakings recalled early, mid recall only a few moments, late recall great but interrupted (right when things were getting good) [FM] = false memory [DS] = dream sign + beginning of dream - WL notes 2015-04-07 -00:08 bedtime -mid, 06:12 + In a gathering with people in a half-lit room, I'm standing by an open refrigerator and select an open bottle of somewhat murky liquid to drink. I realize this is the bottle that previously had beer in it and now was refilled with water, I take a drink of it trying to detect the former beer flavor but don't feel it. I hear MR is telling tale of encountering a bad guy, where M told him s.l. "do you really want to do that?" + In childhood home (longer earlier part forgotten), I'm leaving the house, walking from the garage up to the street in front of the house, then back down the front steps to the front yard. A small black boy follows me. On the final approach at the bottom of the stairs, I see that a medium-sized (6-8 feet), new fruit tree (plum?) has been planted right in the middle of the walkway. This is somewhat surprising but I "remember" [FM] that yes this is a new tree recently planted here. I look at it and see the sunlight hitting its leaves, this is the only spot in the highly sheltered yard where there is sun exposure [FM]. I want to enter the house and take my proper leave of my parents. I enter the open front door and my mother is there, (also my sister is around), the boy enters the house and my mother says to him "oh there you are!" -long BTS, following breath, works best: exhaling all tension, all "effort", no mantra, over and over. -late, 08:00? + arrive in my room somewhere, like a dorm room in a large old building: I'm closely examine the multiple doors to the room and the old/intricate locking mechanisms on the door. I see a small (red?) dial on top of a radiator and turn it off as I don't want the room to get too hot. I exit to the hallway & see & invite attractive middle-aged woman with short black hair into my room, she seems like she'd by sexy, she's wearing some makeup. I return to my room after her, closing the multiple sets of doors as I go, thinking if I should offer her a drink + I'm sitting in my first adult car in childhood home garage, the car behaves strangely, it's drifting forwards towards the wall/shelves sort of out of control, I repeatedly apply the parking brake to stop the car from hitting the wall. I back out of the garage up the driveway to the street and as I enter the street I realize I did not look behind me and that this is dangerous because I could hit somebody very easily. Once on the street I look ahead and I see many red emergency vehicles stopped all over the street (with more arriving?), my car is rolling forwards again and I almost roll into a fireman standing there. +(f) on street outside childhood home, think of flying, test gravity by jumping about 15 feet into the air, I float slowly down and I sort of giggle and just continue with the dream (followed by air-swimming) (ARGH!) -Notice my wife is already up, spread out comfortably to ideal dreaming position and fall back asleep (I frequently get lucid once she's out of bed when I can sleep in) -very late, 10:30: + I'm really groggy and my vision is really poor (FA?), I can't see clearly the adult women on the other side of the room. I'm lying under some covers right next to a hot girl wearing [don't see, imagine] red bikini panties who's still asleep. I'm looking to see if anybody can see us. I decide they can't see and get bold. Spoiler for 18+: I reach my left hand up very high to her inner thigh and firmly grip her leg there, it's quite exciting. I get bolder and start pushing the back of my fingers against her (ahem) through the panties, trying to feel the outline. + girl asks me to be her escort at the beach (woohoo!) because of possibility of encountering bad guys; throwing a frisbee discuss style with glowing LEDs all around the rim, the manager(?) (asks me not to do that inside?) +(f) playing ping-pong outside with some kids (1 boy 1 girl) + bunch of bad guys leaving beach in a room, they left garbage, we pick it up, take it out, woman carrying very tall objects "look out for electrical wires", put things in open rooms in building? walk out to entrance to the proper garbage area, which is a huge indoors area with a tall, large flat pile of really stinking garbage, we throw the stuff there and to the floor area to the right. + my kids have found a large hole in the ground & a secret room below it with ceremonial daggers, they had to scare away the rats which ran across the street and when I look carefully it turned into a cat, walking around and we're leaving, we seal this room with a layer of clear (glass?) on top of the entrance hole, as we leave but I take the handful of ornamental daggers as souvenirs. +(f) leaving a restaurant, some guys have a girl on the table, I'm watching as I continue by + return to entrance to beach area, thers one girl sitting in that area who seems a bit leery of me, another girl comes by, turns, and moves to leave, I'm waiting for her to come to me herself but it looks like she won't, so I reach out with my right arm and hook it around her as she moves away to the right, and pull her (she doesn't resist) right up onto my lap/right leg. I ask her her name and look directly into her eyes, she's really cute. "I'm Wershel" she answers, "Wershel!?" I say, and she says "I'm not supposed to give you any confessions," she says, she was warned against me? She seems tentative but is sitting calmly, her face is so close to mine that I can smell her breath, and … -my wife wakes me up! No, my beloved Wershel! Wershel! AAAAARGH!
tons of wakings via intention. Nothing at first and felt very tired throughout the night, a bit frustrated, but at some point the dreams started flowing in. Didn't try to repeat (mental journaling) recall, but just went right back to sleep each time with a brief mantra. One longer BTS success that led to some nice late NLDs: funny/sexy, vivid/present Adding more notes but Im short of time so it's just more detail not into coherent prose. + fight off a mountain lion in a (hospital?) room with a stool, jab at it several times, keep the stool between me and the lion, maneuver it to the door of room, guy in way, "Clear the door!" guy still in way at front door, push lion out, try to pull door shot, little tiny toy living dog in way, pull door closed. + bus, guy gets off on Gr.Pe.Blvd. at Ma. Str (steep), girl bent knee, do "broken egg" o n her knee, see sailboat at top of Mar, buyers speaking of bad investment due to seller's undisclosed $75 million massive swimming pool debt, I show pools, fly over pools, look down, they're impressive but empty, second set, also no water, to left is outdoor roofless army squash courts, they're practicing services in unison. In near court meet scary lesbian, my team insignia ripped clothing with three vertical stripes (like monster energy drink), this insignia is in clothing and on buildings, we must scatter to run away (from something?), girl writes letter, I read it for a while, I'm looking for my name I think she wrote something about me as I'm not quite a core member, don't see my name, I generally have no trouble reading at the bottom it says "I won't eat <???>[forgot] and squirrels, … I won't go to Un. Lake", letter posted in clubhouse on the wall along with bunch of other things, glued to wall, like a large phone booth or a very small shed. + outside crowded sidewalk (like West end of Sol. Ave in B) I go on a ladder, view is great, on left sidewalk woman lies, (pee/booze pouring down street) nobody helps, it's because she's drunk, her drunk companion is there, they have a cat, poor cat, it escapes and runs away to the right and I'm happy, workman comes (I think he asks me to get down) so I climb down, tell wife "man the view was great up there!", realize no shoes, see my white sneakers a few meters away at base of ladder, tip-toe back don't want socks get dirty/wet, will someone take my shoes? Pick them up. BTS + lunch in the cafe with colleague sitting across from me, it's Ch. Og. from Bl. We're silent for a long time, it's a small round cafe table, outdoors, the next table to the right is very very close the guy on my side is practically shoulder to shoulder with me, to make conversation I ask CO "What've you been working on lately?" Young guy (stranger) at next table (very close) answers me mistakenly, starts talking about some business thing he does, I look over at him, see his face, dark hair, he gets embarrassed when he realized I wasn't talking to him, I say "That's OK, I'm closer to you than to my friend across from me, it makes sense." Then I take a small bunch of his french fries from his plate and eat them "because we're friends now!" with a wry smile on my face the whole time, I think I should give him some of my food, look at my plate all I see is more french fries; return to work, think that it wasn't all that far to the restaurant, tell a colleague (Ol. Sem. from Lx) that the restaurant isn't farther from our other place of work where (he still is)?, he disagrees, I think more it's just a couple of blocks in either case. Spoiler for erotic themes, explicit : + (stripper class?) In huge bed under sheets with colleagues, we're spread out lying on our backs looking up a few feet away from each other, teacher does stuff?, hot petite girl, a (work?) acquaintance [false] comes on to me and lies on my right. I take off underwear getting naked under sheets for the class, girl snuggles up next to me she's really coming on to me, her hand reaches under sheets and runs it from my stomach down towards (ahem), I say "careful, there, you're likely to get a surprise!" because she doesn't know I took off my underwear, I sit up on edge of bed to put it back on so as not to be gross, but she says from behind me "No, I want a Real Man!" I pause a second and then get back in, say "OK!" turn to her, we embrace and kiss, I do an awesome kiss move: holding her lower lip firmly between my lips, I lean my head 90 degrees slowly to the left, so that our lips twist and drag on each other, it's fantastic. I say "Did that feel good?" She says "Mmm Hmm!" I say "I'm a good kisser…..you're a good kisser, too!" I look up and see people are staring at us [the situation is like two people in yoga class having sex all of a sudden], I keep looking and more and more people are staring, I say "everyone is looking!" . I run my hand down her tight, flat tummy and run a finger around her belly button. It's a bit crusty/hard around the edges. walking through rooms, I think the 4:30 stripper class may be in session, the teacher may not want me based on what happened last time + a 3D billboard: the message speeds through space up to the board (whoa that's cool [and dreamlike?]), it's for an alcoholic drink, guy with heavy Eastern European accent says "Coff-ee braaaayyyyk", the ad promotes adding whiskey to coffee?, discussion of cocktail better than this with some ingredients listed (forgot), open door, see wife in next room through crack in door, enter room, desert table with ice cream, cherry pie, something else, is it free?, I'm looking for evidence of payment on the counter in front of her, I want the cherry pie, but woman offers me ice cream and hands it to me, I take it, there's a scoop of raspberry-red colored ice cream in a dish.
Very vivid, present dreams. Mental journaling so details have faded, but definitely "I was there" all night long + Objects are flying in the air, come indoors, TZ is there, candies on floor, wife takes them away + I hear music, I "recognize" the piece, I'm discussing it with some guys, I always have trouble remembering the composer of this piece. I'm working really hard to remember it. Argh, my son played this piece on the piano, who is the composer? "B….B….B…B… Bar….BARTOK! Bartok." [IWL: the piece I remembered wasn't the one I heard, but for the piece I was thinking of I did remember the correct composer finally] +(f) Walking along outdoor elevated walkways, I hear a muslim say: "Not all sharia law is the same", and some other things (forgot). + I'm in a scientific laboratory. There are two pieces of equipment that I'm inspecting. One on the wall a bit farther on, and one under a hood right next to me. There are parts that are moving quickly in the mechanism. The main moving part is the japanese hand-prayer drum from Karate-kid II. I ask what this is. The woman scientist answers "it's a timer, a 777 timer". I see under the hood an open metallic sphere, I see and know it contains mercury. I don't want that stuff getting on me so if they carry it anywhere I plan to step back. Discussing scientific instruments (built from the karate-kid #2 japanese hand-twisty-prayer-drum thing) with scientist woman, I'm leery of the sphere containing mercury + super present/vivid: I'm on the lower floors of a house. I'm in some sort of shower/bathroom, I think there must be another one on the upper floors. There's a big fluffy white dog walking around. I go out to the front of the house. I go back in and say "I'm going to look around the upstairs." I start climbing the stairs and see two small green teacups, the kind we have (IWL: and now use as a water bowl for our cat). Each one is full of water and on a different stair. I wonder if they use them for animals. Farther up the staircase on the left there is a fireplace. It is glowing warm, I go past it but see it in passing and return to it and give it a proper look: things are glowing red in there but there's no visible fire. I think this can heat the house, it's really interesting looking, in an alcove in the middle of the staircase. On the landing I see a room ahead of me, a girl/woman is changing in there and I step back away, not wanting to embarass/intrude. There's some dialogue here that I forgot. I go through the room to another and sit on a couch. A woman there asks something about <my sister's name>.
Fragments galore, to bed late and up early so missng juiciest REM +(f) Gas station (it detected our car), + enter top of large empty parking lot on sloped hill, I'm in car with my kids, at bottom i see outlet on the ground tell son S2? To plug in the vacuum, son S1 drives car close to S2 son S2 falls and his head bumps along the right rear wheel of the car as son S1 drives it slowly by, I scream at him that he could have been killed and to get out of the way +(f) house, long narrow room, guy wants key to unlock the device +(f) prison girl eats apple bits off of floor, she moves/eats really fast, runs around corner +(f) in shallow pool with a girl, I'm close to her, I realize she's naked, I dive underwater and open my eyes expecting the view to be blurry but it's pretty clear, I get several good peeks at her from the front +(f) lots of young workers scraping the stuff from under the thing, building something out of boards:nailing, gluing, the pieces are still loose, the guy says so, I say it's not done yet
Weird night, half-busted WBTB, upside down night: coherent dreams early, weak fragments galore later + 2 kids have bowling balls in school which are rolling through the hallways, banging into wall in the classroom 2 kids have bowling balls: one blue, one red/orange. I try my fingers in the holes but they do not fit. The balls are rolling through the hallways, I tell the kids that someone may get killed if the balls fall down the stairs. In a classroom, one of the bowling balls bangs hard into a wall, I look at the wall for damage and their appears to be an indentation on the baseboard. + driving to work, preparing to transmit the access code via potted-plant I'm in my car driving towards work on CeExprwy, and I think that I must start preparing my transmitter to send the access code. I think about the transmitter and wonder about its range. Getting closer I start to try. The code is transmitted by touching small plants in a particular order all planted together in a single pot. The correct code involves strawberry plants and some other herb. I have trouble figuring out which plants are which, I'm looking at the pot and the plants and see the little leaves and the dirt. I arrive at work and 2 security guys approach, they laugh since it's so easy to figure out the right plants. They take my tablet/phone and start doing things, I'm a bit concerned about this. One of them says something to me and waits for a response but I don't answer him, he then says "no response, eh?" + art class in school, teacher draws plant/flower, assistant copies, redhead with head leaned back by door ('look out for the door') In a classroom (kindergarten level), the teacher is giving a draw-by-example class, where she makes several gestures and the results is a drawing of a flower. 3 Asian men are appreciating this and think it's well-done. The male class assistant is attempting to copy the gestures the teacher is making on "my" workbook, I look at his work and it's a really poor copy of the teacher's work. There are a number of different boxes on the paper with individual pieces of the final work. I look at him and he looks at me and knows the work is crap and crumples up the paper. I move to leave the room. Seated near one of the two doors at a desk is a teenaged girl with bright red hair and intense (blue?) eyes. She is sitting with her head leaned back fully. I wonder if she is inviting me to kiss her? I don't. I see that the door is near her head and say "look our for that door hitting your head," she doesn't seem concerned. + motorcycle: revving and spinning wheels, our target drives by; restaurant stake-out guy with girl outdoor tables, I sit nearby to keep an eye on him a motorcycle appears (in a white void?) It is bright red/primary colors. It is a standard style, looks like a 1950-1970's model. It is fairly loud, and it takes a lot of gas to run. It is revving its engine and spinning its wheels but it's not really going anywhere. At one point the back wheel appears to be two wheels (like a trike-style motorcycle) with almost no tires and very small. All our attention is on this motorcycle spinning its wheels and not going very far, at that point farther into the scene the guy we're supposed to be tracking quickly drives through an intersection and drives away. Sitting at a restaurant outdoors (the guy we're supposed to be tracking?), the guy is sitting with a girl. I sit at a table nearby to be sneaky and order something, (this restaurant has been chosen because the dishes take a long time to prepare?) later: +(f) driving on electric scooter/cart, GPB, taking forever it's so slow, outdoor daylight +(f) walking through shopping center/stores, people +(f) elevator, get on choose floor (35? 38?), doors open, not level with floor, get out, get on top of it? +(f) outside some store front indoors + leaving room, black wool cap on couch, "where's the black cap?", guy drinks shot, messy room bed w/sleeping bag, thermos I'm in a room, looking around, on my way out I notice a small black wool cap sitting on a chair/couch. Outdoors in the hallway someone asks "where's the black cap?" and I say I don't know then I realize I saw it and say so. A man comes out of a room and tosses back a shot dramatically leaning far backwards, the shot is a pale amber-colored liquid. I re-enter the room and look around, I see a water boiler/thermos and think this is where the guy keeps his booze. There is a sleeping bag set up on a cot, opened up, the room is full of clothes and is messy, I think it took this guy a while to bring all of these things here (he's like a counselor in a camp?). + bathroom butt against window/blinds, advertisers hawking outside more and more people appear, donut shop I'm in a dark room 2nd floor overlooking a dark street scene, it's early morning. I have to go to the bathroom and maneuver my butt to the toilet but it's in such a place that I must stick my butt right up against the bottom of the window. There are venetian blinds on the window and there's a gap at the bottom so that my butt would be clearly visible to anybody outside who's looking. I'm not really concerned about this. Outdoors down at street level there are several advertises hawking their service/wares. Some of them are in competition, one of them has a map. I'm in a hurry, I walk by a small donut shop. I stop and go in I want a glazed donut. The shop is small more like a large booth, only room for a few people to stand. There is a tall corner counter where the donuts are displayed under clear covers, and a woman stands inside the counter area. The donuts look really fancy. I ask for a glazed donut, she says yes, then, "it will take a few minutes to prepare," I say no, I do not have time, I'll choose another one. I look closely at the donuts, they are highly intricate, not solid, several of them appear to be finely woven lattices in the shape of a donut. There are 3 mini-glazed donuts for 10 cents each, I decide to get these instead. I pay by tearing off 3 small chunks of a donut that I already had. The three chunks need to all be the same size or they won't be valuable. I walk out thinking I made a very good deal, I probably made money on the transaction.

I can't even remember the last time I only recalled one dream. Usually on the worst night my memories are poor but still I recall at least half a dozen scenes, usually more. I took two capsules of motherwort before bed, concerned that they might suppress dreaming, well guess what, THEY DID. I slept OK, but no middle of the night wakings recalled, and only one short dream. At least it was more than a fragment! + in a car with new staff members from the boy scout troop (scouts who recently were promoted from patrol leader). I'm telling them about how the staff (later teen scouts who have graduated from the patrols but are still active in the troop, they basically run the camp under the supervision of a few parents/leaders) arrange their tens and sleeping bags. "We usually all set up tents in case of rain, but usually sleep out under the skies nearby the tents. Since you are all staff now", I look around and these kids they look really small, way too young to be staff members I think, "you get to set up your sleeping place on AR <staff hill>." We're then moving by AR and I look up on the top and see a few staff already standing there.
+ girl who wanted the most expensive music recording device, roller-coaster-like ride up a bridge spire A girl kept upgrading her music recording device to the best one she could find. The "DD-<numbers>" units. We're driving in a car approaching a bridge with a great view, I say "you're in for a treat!" We drive up the support of the bridge vertically like a roller-coaster then after the top down the other side, people are visible walking/(sliding?) down the cables. There is a large green area(?) where the cell phone signal is blocked and the girl can't check something about the price on the music device. We're in a store and she finds yet a higher end more expensive DD-?? device and wants it, I say what's the point of these expensive music recording devices, you could just re-record your music on (tape?) if you wanted to. + guy throws a fish at me, poor thing flops on the ground and is ripped in half by the impact In a store, unexpectedly(?) there are large fish tanks across the room. There is a guy there and as a joke he tosses a large live fish at me (I think it's a carp?) pretty large, about 2 feet long, and it SMACKs hard on to the ground near my feet, I reach my hand down to it but an leery of it biting my finger into its mouth. The guy comes over and lifts up the fish from the head and only the front part comes up, the fish has been ripped in half by the impact and you can see it's insides. I say something like "good job" sarcastically to the guy and he's not happy about ruining the fish. + son S2 is procuring laptops with great graphics, I'm going to sleep but wary of the strange woman in the corner, bunch of kids on my bed I show them how to do front somersaults In a room like a dorm room, I'm sitting on my bed, my son S2 is saying that he's managed to get approved for our group to get new laptops with the best new graphics, he had to do it now because once the term starts these requests will not be approved. I see over in the dark corner of the room across from me in flashes of light I see some older woman is lying in a bed, I'm trying to get a clear view. I getting into bed for sleep and I do not want to sleep with that unknown woman in the room. Another younger woman, a mother with kids, is at the root of my bed going in to the next room for a shower, she has some daughters who are naked and are going in to the shower. At the head of my bed is a clothed girl, so I help her do a front sommersault towards the foot of the bed. Then my bed is filled with kids and I'm constantly helping them to do forward sommersaults. I show one with my hand (I see my hand, looks normal) the rounded shape his head should take so that he doesn't land on his head. An adult (form er colleague from KG?) does a sommersault off the foot of the bed and has to lean diagonally to avoid hitting a desk or table there. + (long) preparing camp against the nazis, our friends vanish, enemy scout animals/monsters attack our scout thing, beat them to a pulp, train in the distance picks up (soldiers?) & medicine, captured for court martial, "do not commit the crime of 'hearing'", 2 small girls are named by enemy captain, calls one of them to do a delivery. At one point, I see in the far distance a scene where a train pulls up to a station, and car by car, people fill the car, then medicines flow into the car, then the train advances one car, and the next empty car is filled first with people then with medicines, this happens about 3-4 times. Generally a dark/scarry/forboding feeling throughout this. I'm with some others preparing an outdoor fortress/ camp (for the winter? a siege?) against the bad guys who will be here soon. We're doing things like scavenging scrap metal and piling it up in our compound behind fences. Most of the people vanish except I have the feeling there's one other guy but I don't see him. I pass over a deep cave going into the ground and say "we may have to go deeper down" to be safe. At one point I'm at a dark place on the road and I see an enemy scout raise up, I freeze but they can still see me. There are two strange little beasts and they attack our beast. I come to its defense and pound one of the small enemy beasts to a bloody pulp. I have a thought about capture and the scene transitions (I actually noticed the transition!) and I think "we'll be court martialed". In a room with prisoners and guards, the guard is screaming about not "committing the crime of 'hearing'" (meaning prisoners communicating and understanding one another). The enemy commander gives two small twin prisoner girls rhyming names (don't recall them) and summons them to him, they need to deliver some roll of documents somewhere. WBTB + (KILD, LD #94) walking along line of hot girls, checking them out, they're shy, lean over kiss one and get lucid I'm walking along with a group of girls. I'm checking out the rear of the one in front of me, she's hot. She immediately covers up her butt, pulling down a sweater and placing a backpack right in the way of the view, I think this is funny. No problem, ah there's another sweet one with a tight body-fitting long sweater on with a great a$$, I'll just go and check her out for a bit. I realize I'm walking along besides a girl and I get bold and lean around in front of her and kiss her, as soon as I kiss her I think "I'm dreaming," and stay in the kiss for a while, feeling the lucidity, but visuals are gone (must have 'closed my eyes') and I soon wake/transition. + toy vending machine, cost is 198 (298?), girl tells me order is ready, MILF leans over showing cleavage including nip slip, fascinating eye'd girl (violet? gray?) at counter, calls to Japanese boss for assistance, language confusion I'm in some busy room, there's a small toy vending machine in front of me, made out of plastic, there's a roll I want to buy and push a toy button and an odometer-like display comes up and shows a price of (198 or 298?), I think wow that's an expensive roll. At that point a blonde girl comes up to me and starts discussing my (order?), I'm confused about langauges and start speaking a <forgeign language> asking "where is it? How do I get there?". I get attracted to her and start to touch her arm and caress it but she looks a bit freaked out and edges away. At that moment I look to her left and an attractive middle-aged woman with deep cleavage showing is leaning far over doing something, I admire the view, and realize there's a bit of nip-and areola-slip going on there. I move to another room and come up to a girl at a counter. I reach up and take off a necklace of some sort that I"m wearing it's related to the object I ordered and need to pick up. More langauge confusing, we start in <foreign language> and she switches to asking a question in English at one point and I notice the shift but I answer "yes" in english. I'm then captivated by her eyes which at first I think are a deep violet color which I think matches her top, then her eyes become completely gray/silver, very remarkable. Her manager comes by, a Japanese man, who goes and stands a bit to the left of us with his back to us and she asks him some question. I"m not sure about where I'm supposed to go and when, but I know that I would not mind coming back to this place again!
lots of night wakings and lots of recall, but consistently short, mostly disconnected scenes 00:17 pre-bedtime 04:35 no recall 07:47 + (f) parking garage? (voice notes, don't remember this!) + the gym admin wants $300 ($300!!!!) for the task of simply retrieving my file from the back room, I'm flabbergasted; haven't been at my locker in long time, combination lock I approach and look at the combination locks, I start spinning one? Locks that have been not used for a long time have little boxes placed around them, I look on the back of the locks and (the combination is written there?) 10:00 ? + I'm waiting for HOURS for my burger in the fast food joint, there's a massive, pressing crowd at the counter I'm pushing them away to maintain my place, I keep telling people I've been waiting for HOURS. + The taco place buffet doesn't have tacos or burritos, only less desirable stuff, I go looking for the tacos, find them but they're paid, not part of the buffet so don't take any + in a large open grocery store, see someone with a bacon/egg/muffin at the checkout, go to the bacon/egg/muffin counter, select the ingredients, and they cook it for me, I wonder what happens if they break the egg I choose a slice of tomato, a cooked/poached egg, a slice of cheese? and a muffin and give them to the (lady?) to cook and they start cooking it. I wonder if they break the poached egg so that the yolk runs out if I can ask them to make another one. + guiding friends (man/woman/child) from the subway to the playground, they want to take a taxi but I show them the playground is right across the street; playing basketball in the playground + lying down in a driveway in winter beside a rolling country road, cars drive by, looking for police cars coming down the road, hoping nobody will run over me I see the cars driving by while lying down on frozen/frosty ground, I see some cars with lights go by must be a police car, I see a driver inside, but he pays me no attention. + a guy makes a great fast move climbing over the naked black giant demon thing and scores a basket, is that thing really naked? yes I sort of see it's "thing"; I'm studying (magic?) there's a bad guy over there, I will never join him + outdoors/daylight/huge building: it's a multipurpose building, read the titles on building, restaurants, etc., automated gate, weird simultaneous naked/clothed/jeans, super thick wall street journal on ground, picture/painting of the very large east coast wedding party The building is huge like a sports arena and is standing to my right about 100 feet away. It's something to do with Russia on the other entrance? The fence closes slowly and automatically, I"m watching the mechanism of it up close right in front of the door. I feel like I'm naked ("feel the breeze" on my stuff), I look down, and I see I'm wearing jeans, yet I'm still naked. It's like my skin has jeans camoflage drawn onto it, sort of, I can see my thang hanging down but it's jeans colored. I can't figure out if I'm nakeed or not, doesn't look like it but it feels like it. I walk by some outdoor cash registers where people are buying things,on the ground I see a massive folded newspaper, it's about 1 foot thick, I rifle through a few pages without actually reading anything and imagine this is the Wall Street Journnal. Nearby in a checkout line is a wedding party, there's a picture/photo there of a large "East Coast" wedding party, it's stylized and seems half-painting half-photograph.
(early) + (f) selling stock? + kissing the move star In an open top car, a beautiful (movie star?) has her face up close to mine filling my vision, I kiss her several times (quick pecks) + saving child from car, "help me out!", sharp pipe dangerously close to "the family jewels" I'm in the back seat of a car, driver's side, pulling a (child?) out to safety, I'm opening the door and pushing it with my body/arm, another (shiny blue?) car is pushed up against our car making it hard to get out, I sort of shove the blocking car a bit away. I ask "help pull me out!" to some (friends?) standing nearby, and they grab my left arm and slowly I emerge from the car. While they're doing this I look down and I see a severed vertical metal pipe with very sharp edges (like a traffic sign pole) move directly underneath my crotch, I'm barely making it over the pipe and I really hope that my friends do not drop me, I anticipate contact but it never comes. Once outside of the car I'm talking with people. + (long) invitation-only complex, sexy soylent-green I'm approaching a very fancy complex in the distance, the entire area is invitation-only a famous guy must first invite you in but I go in anyway, along a walkway up to a mall-like complex. It's dark-ish outside. Approaching, there are several different "stores" there, all with writhing sexy people in them. The one on the right is "the hall of bestiality" which holds no interest for me. The one on the left seems like a strip-club of some sort and there's a line of people waiting to get in. One by one sexy women in skimpy outfits come out of the club to escort the next customer inside, most of them are dark-skinned. They also have some sort of object with them. One comes out and beckons to me, I do not find her particularly attractive and I see that she is carrying a large roll of something that I think she wants to wrap me in, I do not care either for her or the idea of getting wrapped but I do want to get inside the club, so I go with her. She starts wrapping me in something in between cellophane and thin styrofoam packing, it doesn't hold well around my body and I have to hold it up to keep it from falling away and exposing me. She escorts me to a shower area, there are a row of about 5 showers there with doors on the front, the two on the ends have higher doors then the ones in the middle, we approach the one on the right and it's in use but the guy in there leaves and moves to one of the middle ones, I go in and take a short shower, I see and feel the water. Next she escorts me (I'm always being led from place to place) through a room that looks like some sort of industrial kitchen. I think "oh man I hope they're not preparing us to eat", I have a thought of soylent green and wonder if we're being prepared as some sort of food items. In another room a man gives a bunch of directions for how the "customers" should be prepared, including applying 0.5 volts of electricity to their heads for 30 minutes. I'm thinking we may never get out of here. My wife is being also escorted around by a young man (Jeff?), she mentions how she likes it so much but that she (realizes it's not genuine?). (late) + orchestra strings audition; "don't follow me!", "I'm sleeping, not dead" @ grandparents house, buxom girl asks me incomprehensible questions, kids take pictures of dead body and post on internet I'm observing a youth orchestra rehearsal, the cello/bass section are holding live auditions for moving up in the section, I see and hear various young female cello players playing a solo selection from a very familiar piece (can't name it), and they are dragging the bows across the strings to get double-string sounds very artistically, I think about this for a moment. I wonder if the bass players will also audition. I wonder if the auditioners will immediately move up in their sections or not. Then the orchestra (string section only) starts accompanying the auditioning soloists with very fast tremolo. One of the young female musicians gets up and says "do NOT follow me, absolutely under no conditions should anybody come after me!" and a runs down the street. Well, I think, saying it like that is just begging to be followed, haha, so I say "come on, guys, let's go!" and run down the sidewalk after her. I have some notion that she was going to / or had encountered a dead body. We arrive at the driveway to my grandparent's house where there is a youngish woman lying in an open coffin, apparently dead. I'm looking at her and I start to see movement, breathing, her head's moving, she's not dead apparently! She opens her eyes and looks around but remains lying there, she says "not dead -- sleeping." I'm moving through a large crowd of people on the driveway by the front door but there are too many people, so I go inside the house squeezing in the front door. Inside in the living room I see a youngish woman lying on her stomach on a couch with her head facing me, propped up on her elbows, she has large breasts which are hanging down and resting on the couch, a few stretch marks and no nipples visible. She seems familiar and I walk by her to the left and acknowledge her by briefly patting her head as I go by, she has bronze/brass-colored hair (with two short pigtails?). She (grabs my hand?) and turns and says something to me, she is not very pretty I realize, and I think that I've gotten together with another girl and hope this one isn't hurt by that. I'm kneeling down by the couch and her arm is resting on my leg, and I reciprocate and rest my right arm on top of hers, I feel the contact/warmth. She asks me something I just can't understand, something like "How are you outside? And Inside? (meaning location, relative to this house)" but I just can't make it out and ask her twice more and each time she repeats the same barely comprehensible thing. Back outside the house? I hear/think that my kids have taken pictures of some dead body in an open coffin and posted them on the internet, I think this is entirely inappropriate and intend to tell them so. + (The Phase success? lucid in the void?) power flight through structures, avoid titan, @parent's house waking at sunset, getting a slice of chocolate cake from the fridge (sister) This is possibly my first successful "The Phase" attempt. I have tried once or twice earlier in the night but didn't find any success with it. Clearly, *something* happened. I'm lying on my right side and I realize I'm awake. I try to immediately separate by visualizing myself lunging out of bed but nothing happens. I then quickly visualize rotating on my vertical axis, hmm, something seems to happen, not sure, I move to attention to visual, and I see something like a pamphlet appear, so I "push" into this vision, and I feel like I've "entered" a scene very much like "getting lucid" feels like, and still see the pamphlet but a bit closer and more like "dream" vision. I think I've entered the dream state! But the pamphlet vanishes and I'm left with no visuals. I feel my wife moving in the bed but I remain in this dream like state in the void. Then suddenly I hear a roaring grow in my ears, it gets extremely loud and it feels like my whole body is shaking. It subsides and then repeats, even more intense, sort of unpleasant, but I stay with it hoping it will lead to a dream (could already have been the dream in retrospect), but it subsides. So I imagine a dream location I want to appear in and start flying, eventually I enter a non-lucid flying dream, I have some sort of girl on my back whom I'm showing around, I'm gliding at first but switch to powered flight, think about skimming the rooftops of the tall buildings downtown and impressing her, then there are some large reddish structures around, very tall, and I'm flying below and among the large shapes which look like red construction cranes. Some sort of giant (really big, bigger than the cranes) being appears and (starts shooting bolts of energy around?). I evade and head back the way I came. I'm in my parent's house, I just got up, I'm in the living room, everybody else is still asleep, I look out the window and see a colorful sunset, my God, did everybody sleep through the entire day? I go into the kitchen, thinking about food, don't see anything good, look in the fridge, and see on a lower shelf slightly hidden a plate of what looks like a white frosted cake with yellow (pineapple?) chunks in it, I take this out and it is actually a collection of many different slices of different takes with very ornamental frosting on top, I'm selecting a piece, I decide on a chocolate piece and am trying to scoop it out but can't. My sister appears and says something like how it takes so much effort to make these cakes and it nobody eats it she won't bother, I say that I like it. I see a piece lying on its side with chocolate chips spread through the cake piece.

Yay, a coherent multi-scene nicely recalled dream: + czech orchestra & many conductors; Missouri conservatives; football; old dog & young kid, dog enters neighbor's yard, go get him, talk about kids schooling; high school outdoors hot dog lunch Czech orchestra: I'm walking through an atrium-like open indoor space. I hear an orchestra playing. I hear them making some mistakes, they're perhaps a student or an amateur orchestra. As I walk through the crowd of white people standing around (most are women/girls), I notice that a bunch of them are moving their arms like they're conductors to the orchestra, just standing there in the crowd, however. One of them is a small girl. They are speaking a slavic language, but it's not Russian. It turns out they're Czech. Missouri conservatives: I'm standing at a table near a (glass) wall/window (dream sign) with a group of men. I know that we're in Missouri. I see their faces, they look normal. One has a sweater on. I think they're pretty conservative. We're standing around for a while. The talk moves to football and the TV show. They're astonished that in some places, there is only one broadcast of a football game, they're used to multiple broadcasts where each team's fans can watch the broadcast focused on "their" team. Football game: kickoff, the kickoff comes down and actually goes out the end zone. Wait, it's a field goal, the kickoff actually scored a field goal! Replay, watch it again, yup the refs hands to up signaling a score. Switch to playing football with a group of small black boys in street clothes, we're pushing a football around and I'm encouraging a small boy to take it and run. Old dog: I'm holding my old (deceased) dog L in my arms, I'm looking at him and think he doesn't look good: old, sick, he has a large discolored spot on his back. I put him down at his water bowl, I think he's been without water for a long time, I look into the cabinet where he was sleeping and think no water was put there. I think about him trying to drink the water, he's weak but seems to be able to do it. The water is not clean and has bits of food floating in it, I pick up the bowl to empty and refill it in the sink. Then my son S1 is there as a small boy and makes a funny non-sense rhyme, and I rhyme back to him in nonsense words. I notice through the dining room glass window (real memory of old home) that dog L has just trotted out the front door. I move to follow him, I notice that there are a lot of piles of leaves around the porch but that a large, regular rectangular area covering most of the porch has had the leaves cleaned off. I follow dog L and think how much I'd love to walk with him like this one more time, just him and me (semi-lucid thought?) Dog L enters a gate into a neighbor's yard (false memory), I follow, at the gate I see the woman owner is there, I make a hand gesture movement indicating "can I come in?" I apologize for the dog coming in, I pick him up. There is a teen girl in the yard at a well(?) Start walking down a flight of steps and am talking with (neighbor man?) about schools, he says "your boys probably go to <such and such> school?" I say "no we had them in school but then homeschooled them, but when they were in school (we made sure they had a flexible schedule?). Then "when you're 16 and 18 you've got it made in the shade." Walking along a concrete division, the other guy is a high school student. We're walking in the wide-open court of the high school, it's lunch time, in the distance I see a high school boy sitting at a table with a large plate mostly empty but with a few scraps of hot dog/sausage on it. Approaching the hot dog stand the cook is serving up hot dogs, at first I see what look like chili dogs, as I step up to the table I see there are chili dogs and a giant corn dog, a deep-fried hot dog about 2 feet long, 3x in diameter fof a normal hot dog. The cook starts slicing the hot dog in half along its long axis, I wake up.
