+ I'm really mad at a guy, he's walking my dog the wrong way. He's not using the 2-dimensional leash/wall the right way. I see my old dog.

+ I'm in bed, apparently outdoors. The sun is shining down on the blankets making it too warm. I think it's just not possible to fall back asleep once the sun is fully shining down on you and decide to get up

+ I'm in bed with my wife, dozing, awake. Our bed is outside in some yard. We're house watching a house for somebody else, but we don't go inside. I think it would be nice to go inside because it's a large house. I don't want the neighbours looking at us, it's probably illegal to sleep outside. The house we're watching has a nice looking motorcycle with an oange front guard, I wonder if the owner would let me ride it. We're up, I see lots of little bits pieces of fluff / paper all over the ground and in the dimples of our mattress, I pick a few of them up and then stop. I think I want to go get my dog who's down the street in the car.

+ summary: Lake Tahoe Blackjack vacation with best friend MR

Arriving at a location (flying), it's a train station, and someone tells me the tall windows are there so that people who live there can stand at the windows and peek out, I think they might flash passers-by. Still flying, arrive at the parking lot for our casino. The building is alone on an wide open flat area, not very large. The parking lot is large and mostly empty, I see about 5 vehicles in the lot and think "woohoo not too crowded we'll have a great time at the tables!". I circle over the parking lot flying backwards quickly in celebration. On the ground I imagine entering and finding an empty blackjack table.

Inside at the table, MR and I are getting ready to sit down to play blackjack. I want to sit at 1st base, MR is behind the stable standing next to the left of the dealer, he wants to be there but I tell him they won't allow it, and a pit guy tells him the same. MR says he has a very particular place where he wants to sit, so I move down the table towards 3rd base, there's some guy there standing in the very middle of the table and I try to manoeuvre around him, and think about asking him to move down, but I don't.

We get to playing. I'm trying to count cards but keep realising I've forgotten the count. I'm trying to count the cards as they come out. I almost count a 2 but then remember that only 3-4-5-6, 10s get counted. At one point the dealer is dealing both on the regular table and on a diagonally slanted table to the left of our table near the floor, many cards are quickly gathered up I don't have the chance to see them.

At one point I'm holding the bottom few cards of a deck while the dealer deals out the rest, and I hand him the rest of the deck.

My friend is networking with people more than playing . I say ("he went to <XYZ> business school!").

I'm counting my "chips," which have turned into knitted white little doilies, I'm separating them to figure out how much money i have. My initial buy-in was for $100, I think I'm *way* down (to about $30) but it turns out I'm close to even.

One hand, I'm dealt an 11 (9-2 I think) and the dealer shows an Ace. "Gotta double!" I say and put out more chips. I have a 19. The dealer draws a bunch of little cards including another ace, and apparently makes "21", I'm upset, then another "3" card pokes out from the pile of dealer cards, the dealer has busted! I wonder how many times the dealer cheats by hiding cards to avoid busting.

I get confused between the cashier and a small table. I think "time to color up?" and hand in my chips. I get a receipt back instead of cash, I wonder at that for a bit but figure it's a way to keep the player in the casino. I read the receipt to confirm, I can't find the money amount, I am closely looking at the receipt, moving my finger tip over the words line by line (they look like real words, nothing is blurry) but I don't see the amount. They say the balances are listed by the names, I see my wife's name, I eventually see my balance, something like $136, I'm up $36, woohoo. In pencil written on top of the receipt is "45 burrito", they tell me that's good for "a 45 minute burrito meal" in the restaurant. I imagine the restaurant is a buffet and that they must time the comp'd meals of they'd lose money.

Sitting at a blackjack table I smell something. I hear someone way "smoke." I stand up and go outside the automatic double glass doors into an atrium and see smoke and smell it more strongly and see people walking around. My chips are left on the table, I return and see my chips (a green stack) and MR's chips (a blue stack) there are people standing next to them (former H VP from "Be" company?), nobody's taken them.

I think about offering MR to drive in the morning to my favorite Tahoe beach. Even though it's winter I would still love to go there, I haven't been there for years even though I've been back to California several times since we've left. I'd offer to drive there so MR can continue sleeping.

nap / melatonin hangover:

+ (semi-lucid/bold) goosing in the crowd. Every one is facing away from me. There's an old woman, yuck no, there's an old man standing next to her, he seems inexplicably more attractive, but no, see a hot girl and go to give her a "full body" hug from the back while I experience the dream fading feeling.

+ I'm trying to turn off all the lights in an outdoor covered hallway. There are many light switches, all of which work to turn off another light. The main character (me?) drops his pants, and I observe that the servants all copy dropping the pants down to their knees, I see the male's "stuff" but the women only slightly push down their pants, nothing is visible.

+ job offer from JR ("Re" company colleague) (in a wheelchair). JR keeps after me about this position: they offer me fully paid training and then the job. I'm concerned I'll be away from my main job too long and get fired. RM (the VP) is following me while I try to ask JR if RM knows about this offer, JR says yes, in fact RM is behind the whole deal. Some (black?) girls say I should take the training option that is in Africa instead of South America. I'm surprised the training is outside of the US at all.

....followed by a night of insomnia due to failed supplement attempt

b4 supps:

+ I'm getting fitted for my personalized Indian mini canoe

(alarm) +(f) standing around with people, see a large hole in the ground, say to a group member "hey that's like yours" (?)

(supps)

(insomnia 1/2 the night)

(get up for a couple hours)

(back to nap for 2nd "half of night")

+ auditioning for a model job, the casting people are beautiful blondes (man and woman), they want me to be a train engineer but I haven't brought any props

+ going to look for someone with an adult and a boy

(now late afternoon with a melatonin hangover, that wasn't worth losing a Saturday...)

+(f) in some dark place searching for/avoiding bad guys

+ Indoors, normal lighting. At a computer terminal/ATM, the keyboard has very small (short) chicklet keys which are hard to type on accurately. I'm trying to get to and use the ATM, some guy is in my way and I slowly lean by him on the right looking at him inquisitively to see if he minds me going past him.

+ kill gang members, take their guns and motorcycle, evade cops
Outdoors, daylight. I shoot two gang members dead, it's pretty bloody. They're each on a motorcycle and have an automatic rifle strapped to their back, I use a pistol. I approach one who I know is dead and lying on the ground but I consider a possibility where he is not dead, and he suddenly sits up and shoots at me and I fee the bullet hit me in the forehead and I know I'd be dead. But that didn't happen so I continue on, I go by the other guy to the left who's sprawled out on the ground and very bloody and grab his automatic rifle off of the ground, and I sling it over my back. It's looks like an olive/army green bow-saw



I get on the 2nd guy's motorcycle and prepare to ride away. I have my hands on the handles and pull in the clutch cable and look down to my left foot to click down the shifter to 1st gear, let of the clutch and start riding on the road. I see a police car behind me amongst other cars and get concerned. I pull off soon to the right in a sort of hilly construction area with steep rolling hills doing down, the police come after me, I stop, and they go forwards not paying attention to me.

I return to some room like a hotel room and am surprised to find it empty, a team of cleaning personnel (husband + wife + kid?) are there. It's fairly dim in the room. I ask something about the fee, and the man starts to answer, but the woman, who doesn't want any trouble with gangs, shushes him.

In some garage the automatic door is opening and closing I'm trying to get to something outside. It's night/dim lighting.

+ getting back together with ex-gf DB, I'm with DB and am planning my weekend, I want to invite DB for Saturday and call another GF for Sunday, DB says she wants to go out both days. I plan the end of our date, I will hug her and gently kiss her left temple, I wonder if she'll object since we're not together any more.

Inside a (van?) making a phone call on an old-time telephone with just a "cup" receiver.

I'm looking at an apartment complex across the street from me, there's a view of the (city?) in the distance to the right, and I think the guy in the corner apartment in that building has pretty nice view, it probably has higher rent because of the nice view.

In a house, on an upper floor, (wife? DB?) comes home, the house is now like a large inflatable kid's slide, all pure bright white, and I jump down several levels to the ground floor

+ (semi lucid) I'm walking through a group of people, I'm looking at them in detail, they're mostly short men, I'm looking/waiting for a (particular?) girl, once I walk past the guys, the girl comes around the corner from my left, she's taller than the guys, she has medium-short hair (dirty blonde?) and is wearing a knit sweater top, and I immediately pin her to the wall with each hand on a breast and look into her eyes and wonder about holding the dream, but it fades.

+ CEO (N.) JH calls me and one other guy into a meeting. I move to shake his hand and introduce myself but he leaves me hanging and does not take my hand, he already knows my name and says it, introducing me to the group. He says I'm here to solve the problem that nobody else has been able to solve, it's either a problem with the hardware or the driver. I don't feel confident, these guys here surely know the driver much better than I do. The problem must be fixed in just a few days, there's a (trade show?) coming up soon.

In a cubicle area there are several desk/workplaces there one guy is working there, I'm trying to find a place to put my big fluffy coat, I don't see any coat racks, will I have to put it on my computer? Each workplace has one of every kind of computer, in particular a windows PC and a mac. It's better to use the mac because it has better diagnostic tools so finding the problem will be better, I see the computers on the desk and select the mac.

There is an important public presentation/talk soon, I'm expected to go, the admin (a young man) says that formal wear is required. I ask about time/directions to the place.

In the cafeteria, it's quite "fru-fru" with a private organic garden growing vegetables on an island table in the room, and a private gardener/chef overseeing it. The veggies are all really small, I put a teeny tiny radish in my mouth and chew. I see lots of bunches of little carrots. I ask them if they have any hot peppers, I don't see any.

In some other place I'm thinking that solving this problem is really important for the company, the CEO may personally give me $1 million if I solve it. He may even give me $10 million, and I'd be set for life.

(A number of other scenes with me being concerned that I have no clue how to solve this problem, and thinking about the reward)

+ I'm walking across a street I see/sense a bully up ahead is pursuing a scared boy to torment him. As a man it is my duty to stop this, I run after him and pursue him through a building and outside. I eventually catch up to him and grab him quickly putting him into a choke hold with my right arm. I gradually increase the constriction, pulling on my right elbow with my free left hand. He's not struggling much. At one point I feel him swallow. I am cheek to cheek with him for a while. At some point I let him go and realize we're both in our underwear, we find our clothes nearby, I see my white t-shirt wadded on the ground and pick it up.

+ I'm standing outside and my wife approaches and says to put the water into the car. I'm confused about what water she's talking about, I look down and see a 4-5 liter bottle of water, it looks kind of dirty, I ask her if this is the water she says yes.

I see a dealer up close dealing a hand of blackjack, the player takes a hit and stands, the dealer has 14 and the player says something like "18 beats 14". I'm sitting at the table at extreme 1st base, almost around the corner with the dealer. My wife is in the middle of the table. We're playing a hand and some cards are on the table. The dealer recommends playing some special option cards that will greatly increase my winnings, by around $180. I've won a lot of money on this hand, I think you can win a lot of money this way. I say though "sometimes you can burn through your entire bankroll in just 10 minutes."

+ (f) in a large (cafeteria?) room with young people, a girl?

+ I'm in the kitchen of my parent's house, the fridge is open and I'm taking out a small piece of cold/frozen pumpkin pie and eating it. JG appears, looking beautiful in a lovely dress, her hair down for a change, and I am so happy to see her, I feel like hugging her but don't. She says she, too, wants a piece of pie.

+ walking down the street some kids are following me. I walk through a barrier (like to prevent vehicles from entering the sidewalk), and look down and see a kid is right next to me and is pushing their skateboard to interfere with my feet. I push it out of my way, annoyed, and keep on walking. They're walking really close behind me and I'm a bit nervous. I climb over some barrier and "fall" down, and one of them falls right on top of me. It's a girl it turns out, and she's wearing really short jean shorts, barely descending down to cover half of her butt cheeks. She's lying on top of me with her body perpendicular to mine and her butt right in front of my face. I want to get her off of me so I get the idea to bite her right butt cheek, hard. I do so, and instead of jumping off of me she indicates how much she likes it. I try biting her left cheek, also hard, and she just wiggles in pleasure.

Spoiler for NSFW:

I then stick my left middle finger deep into her (ahem) and it's a very realistic feeling, I get the "dream end" feeling and realize (too late) that it was a dream.

+

Spoiler for NSFW:

I'm lying naked on my back with legs spread, I see my (ahem) is fully engaged and rather impressively sized, a hot girl is lounging nearby and is hinting at oral activity, and that she really craves me to shoot on her face.

I'm next in a very large sumptuous bathroom with huge long sink in front of a mirror, a couple is down on the left side of the counter going at it.

Someone walks down a stairway and I follow, and I see that it is a multi-level bathroom and it descends to a lower level where there is a pool. I'm in the pool and I see a hot girl in a tight white one-piece swimsuit get in, I think that suit must be getting transparent under water so I grab some goggles to go check out the view, but the goggles don't fit right and my left eye is stuck shut, I can't open it at all, and I wake up trying to open my left eye.

Again 2 major recall wakings, first one basically entirely forgotten, 2nd one amazing, 3mg melatonin @ bedtime probably hindered early recall

+ (long, involved, forgotten) My g/f is in an open aired room with walls made from alternating primary color short blocks , I'm concerned that people from all over will be able to see us when I join her.

plethora of many short scenes:

+ standing with mother on mountain trail, looking up in amazement at distant tall craggy mountain peak high above us through the mist

+ nuclear bomb experiment observers: they watch for fun, and have rad badges and when they indicate "full" you have to leave

+ in a very deep pool, an (opponent?) or two are working underwater on a large contraption, I dive in and wave to them, I spin around in the water and lose my bearing and get dizzy and become concerned about drowning

+ standing in childhood home: my room by window I see dark/brown clouds in sky, then in sister's corner room, I take a selfie out the left window spending a long time trying to get the view of the distant water and city behind me just right, without revealing my location, there are heavy dark clouds

+ a woman and child have come to meet me, they've walked 40 blocks by foot, the large wide road stretches into the distance up a hill, urban environment, I see it's about a mile for only 5 blocks, they must have been walking a long time

+ assault team taking on a large technological bunker, they're blowing off the security doors with thermal detonators

+ I'm observing and discussing a multi-chambered deep-sea diving device, the chamber on my left has a park-exit-multi-pronged gate vertical thing, that I say is for maintaining stretch in your torso so your organs don't get crushed at deep depths

+ I pull my g/f into my embrace with my Doc Ock arms, she laughs

+ there's a kid's ride made up of a device on a small circular track about 1 meter off the ground, there's a handle that jutts out and the kids are supposed to hold on to it for a ride.

+ passenger in cab drive past family on the street, shouldn't I give them a ride? On chartered bus see wife walking on street ahead I tell bus driver to stop for her, she comes in side door I take her bags, she says I should take out the garbage, I'm wondering about the 2ndary drivers who are on the bus, I say we'll be stopping not far from our initial planned destination

+ straddled by an incredibly hot naked girl, we're trying to keep it on "just friendly" terms.
Don't recall the beginning, but at some point I see her and appreciate her amazing hot hard body, lie down (naked I think) on the floor and she straddles me. I put my hands on her butt and try to pull her down on top of me firmly, but she resists and hovers her lower body just above contact with me. Meanwhile her face is right in front of mine but I'm kissing her only tentatively lightly on the cheek -- for some reason we resist fully going at it, like we're trying to keep it on friendly terms...

+ college girl sex fair, encounters for as low as $4.99, I'm indecisive about whether to participate, I realize my wallet is missing and spend the rest of the time trying to backtrack / find it
I'm walking around an indoor/outdoor fair where college girls are selling sex, I'm not really interested in participating at first. At first I see a pile of cardboard with apparently someone underneath it and imagine this is the "room" available for the encounter and am not really interested in that. But then I see a young black guy coming out of a tent followed by a naked hot black girl and he says, "yeah, $4.99 man, it's totally worth it". I'm still trying to decide, and think I'd have to ditch my father who's around somewhere in order to participate. I realize all of a sudden that my waist bag is missing and that it wasn't missing earlier,it must have been stolen. I try to backtrack and find it, but I never do. At some point I walk through a dressing room and exit to the outdoors, there's a school scene (with zoo animals?) on the other side of a fence under blue skies

+ some sort of conflict situation in a strange environment
I end up in a room with some people and am talking about a large cabinet and radio stations.

LD #81:

I'm in my parent's house (don't realize this consciously though, I just recognize the location from the visual memories of the dream), and "my" cat is at my feet. I'm looking down at it, and I have the distinct impression that it's trying to speak and say something to me. I'm standing on the threshold of my sister's bedroom with my back to the hallway and facing in to the room. The oddness of this notion (plus a nose pinch I think) gets me lucid. Instead of instantly ignoring everything prior to lucidity, I continue to look down at my cat, bend over and reach down and stroke it's fur for a few seconds, I feel it slightly. Afterwards I head out to the hallway with no particular goal, then I remember I want to summon JG. I head back into the bedroom expecting to find her but she's not there. I'm calling for her a few times, but nothing. Then I get a bit miffed and LOUDLY call out for her to appear, am back in the hallway, and see the door to my former bedroom with light shining out from around the cracks, and I *know* she's in there. I turn the door knob, open the door, and there she it. I grab her by the hand and lead her back to my sister's old room, there's a single bed immediately inside the door against the wall to the left. I put JG down on the bed and start undressing her and the dream fades.

LD #82 (next night):

+ I'm looking at / thinking about a race track (the private one from the CNBC show ['filthy rich?' something like that], I see it, and I see a really tall (30-50 feet) chain link fence on the border with the racetrack overlooking a golf course with rolling green hills.

Then I"m inside my childhood home sitting at the dining table in the spot with my back to the kitchen door, across the table from me is some man with a checkbook or a ledger and is talking about money and race cars. I'm extremely bored by the situation, so I stand up and walk around the table to the sliding glass door to the deck. I open the door and as I'm walking out on to the deck I think wouldn't it be great it being bored was a dream sign, I look to the left down the deck and there's "my" cat sitting there. It's dark/dusky outside. The cat plus the thinking about dream signs gets me lucid. I walk towards the cat, then take off flying. I look behind me and gesture for the cat to come flying with me, and it does. It looks hilarious with it's little legs/paws stretched out in front of it flying superman style! The cat and I surge forwards, doing rolls and taking turns of being in the lead. At one point I pet its fur when it's flying besides me. I aska it "do you want to go downtown and pick up a girl?" It answers in a tiny piping high-pitched voice (like a man speaking in falsetto imitating a little girl's voice), "No!". I think it's voice is funny. I land on the road just below my parent's house and my thoughts turn to JG. It's daylight now. I reach my hand behind my back for JG to take it and she does, I bring her around and there she is, don't get a good look at her, though. Then I'm with another guy who's with another girl. We come up on a tall wide concrete block, and we fly / hop up there to sit on the top. The girl's complain that they don't want to be there and I respond that "it's only temporary! It's only temporary!" The girls get topless? A door opens into a music room with music stands, and the dream continues but I lose lucidity and don't remember the rest.

Last night:

+ with SB squeeze her boobs and nuzzle lovingly, I think we haven't done this in a long time

+ 3 army-green-clad girls wearing matching headscarves, they're serious, they're prepping for the competition, I think they'll do well because nobody else it taking it seriously.

A boy buys an iphone/ipad cable, it's really long, he slings it over his shoulder. I think of making one, I think of computer chips and see electronic sockets. I'm then in a large unfurnished indoor space where people in their late teens or early 20's arrive to spread spackle all around the door frames on the walls. I turn up the music on a stereo playing "Let the sunshine in" and ask if it's OK for me to crank it way up.

ebola merry-go-round:
+ I'm thinking that I'm meeting a ladyfriend at a dance. I plan to dance the slowdances with her. I think what would I do if some guy tries to cut in. I wouldn't allow that because this is a special time for us. It's dusk/dark outside at a little merry-go-round, there's a guy there who's come form a long way away, something about slided cucumbers? I'm running the merry-go-round and about to turn it on. A man comes rushing at me at high speed to make it to the ride, I tell him to take it easy, there's plenty of time. A walk around the perimiter and am about to throw the bit electrical throw-switch to turn on the lights. I ask the kids to yell out "LIGHT IT UP!", they do, and I throw the switch ( a little spark visible on the contact?), and the lights come on. I expect the kids to get on the ride right away but they're up on a platform above me and the the right and they're taking turns standing in line and praying at an icon, I'm a bit annoyed at the delay.

The man mentions the ebola outbreak in 1999 and how thousands of people died.

I wake up with "let the sunshine in" running through my head.

+(f) I'm observing a beautiful green river in the sunlight, I'm concerned about snakes, the ground seems to be make of snake-like noodle/intestine things, I want to enter this beautiful water

+(f) some adventure/conflict/fights with a band of young people, discussion turns to hacking passwords

+ at a card table playing blackjack, I keep getting dealt aces, each time I split the hand and get another ace until I have 4 hands each with an ace up. Then I start looking at the Aces, the black suits (clubs/spaces) are visible, but where are the red suits? The hearts ace it turns out is green, I think diamonds is OK but I don't really see it. Adding up hands, at one point I get a 13 and am dealt a 9 so I add this up to 22.

+ at an old job, I'm arriving back to my office, I see that the VP JaEi is there with the team and they're setting up ALL the computer systems immediately outside the door to my office AND inside my office. They're using the windows in my office to vent the heat , and I'm pissed because I don't like hot air. I see the large computer consoles and graphics-y looking things moving on the screens. I turn to the walls and see that they've also taken all the shelf space in my office, it is full of binders and canvas duffle bags, only tiny little cubbies are available for me to put my stuff. I'm really made and keep saying something like "J.E., WTF!?"

+ on a high platform trying to shoot various weapons at guy walking down below, mostly pistol sized, none are working but then one of them works (a mini rocket launcher), it launches the projectile which sticks to him or near him then it explodes and he gets blown to pieces, the explosion stuns some other guy who walks around with his pants down pissing himself (his thang is exposed and peeing away) and wondering why he feels wet, there are other people on the platform snickering at him.

00:00 Monday 2014-09-22

still catching up on sleep but a return to some interesting dreaming

+(f) I'm skimming/driving quickly over a dirt road with lots holes

+(f) getting ice cream from a softy machine?

+ I'm given a responsibility I don't want to supervise some young people and something goes wrong and the police want to arrest me. I think this is massively unfair since I didn't want this responsibility in the first place. I'm working in an office and endless streams of paperwork keep appearing from the police and I'm spending all my time to try to figure them out and as soon as I read one another one appears. One of them is a laminated card with instructions on how to bail myself out so that I don't have to stay in jail. Where do I have to go? By when? Do I have to go at all? I leave the office and the door locks and I realize the paperwork is still inside and I find the office administrator girl to let me back in, otherwise I may miss the bail deadline and have to go to jail, and my wife is out of town so I'd be stuck there until she returns.

I'm vacuuming the office floor, the carpet is deep and fluffy and bright yellow. There are a lot of dirty spots especially at the corner where the floor meets the wall.

I arrive in a building/room where they know about the place to report for arrest. The arrested people must arrive at about 6am Friday morning, I think I don't have time to arrange for my bail. The woman there says that if they have not called me yet then I'm probably OK and I don't have to go. I ask her several times to confirm this. I don't have my phone to call, there are men sitting around tables and we get to talking and they mention the university laboratory and I mention that both my dad and I worked there. They hand me items that look like big thick church key can openers.

+ In a group of young people, at some large outdoor park, a giant mechanical arm/tentacle descends out of the mist, we talk about it for a bit. Then we slide down a slide into a normal playground coming through the mist, my friends start using the swinging rings and I move to the drinking fountain which is small and sort of dirty looking and surrounded by several mean looking young men so I decide to move on.

Later we're lying all together in a pile, one girl close to me lying on top of someone else, I tell her "You can be the girl who is one top". There is another girl next to me and we make out for a little bit.

kind of weird night, some recall easy, some hard, some time awake, make it back to sleep, late morning jumbled recall

(early morning)
+ playing (real, not wacky) pool/billiards, planning shots, making shots, I pot 3 object balls and scratch so I need to pull them all out and spot them back on the table. I start to play a tournament game, my opponent breaks, a thunderous big break and pockets lots of balls, he moves very quickly around the table to the end, to my right, and very quickly takes his stance and quickly and aggressively takes a few warm-up strokes. (He's a kind of player who moves really fast, which annoys me), he shoots and double-taps the cue ball with his stick. I step forward and call "double tap!". The referees start arguing that the shot is OK, diagrams of geometry start appearing on the table and the voice-over narration that says doulble-taps within these areas are in fact allowed. I disagree with this and some of the spectators are on my side voicing objection that this can't be right.

+ I'm lying on my stomach in bed with my head to the right (same position as in waking, an unusual position, my last resort when both sides are sore), and watching through an open door into the hallway and into the room across the hall, where my old HS GF getting (un)dressed. I'm looking at her pull a shirt on/off over her head hoping for a good view, and pretend to be sleeping (closing/squinting my eyes) when she looks my way. She later comes into my room and I try to sit up/wave and hope to catch her attention. I want her to come over and to hug/kiss her. She comes over but she's brought a hyperactive Asian young man who's really noisy and talking to himself and very jittery, she introduces him as one of her parent's adopted kids. I move to the next adjoining room to my left and there are some older guys there, and a window, and I see the neighbor's house through the window looks like they're doing construction on it (saw such a wall on a waking life walk earlier that evening), and those guys tell the loud kid that he'll bother the neighbors. Then she brings two Asian girls over, and all 3 of the Asians sit on the edge of my bed, KS introduces them also as adopted children. I think "quite an adoption racket these parents have going, they're obviously only into it for the money." I wonder if they're Japanese, I can't tell. Then I notice them bowing slightly and decide they are in fact Japanese. I decide to try out my new Japanese language skills on them (true in waking). I stand up from bed, get a bit stuck in the sheets, but make it up, they protest a little that there's no need for me to get up. But I then say loudly and confidently, "HAJIMEMASHITE" (Nice to meet you). As I pronounce this word all 3 of them jump as if given a strong electric shock, and sit completely still afterwards, with "deer in the headlights" expressions on their faces. Afterwards I want to complete the introduction, and try to say "my name is <name>", but I can't remember the Japanese for "I/me", I know it's 3 syllables but can't remember them, it's very frustrating, I end up saying some nonsense syllables like "I-I-NA-RI <my name> DESU", I know it's wrong the guy says "yeah, that's not right," I say I forgot, he says "that's OK, just write it on the back of your shirt."

(later morning)
+ ex GF SB is living in my old college rental house, apparently all by herself. Where's everybody else? I wouldn't mind living here, heck, it's a convenient location. Some laundry has turned purple, I'm looking at a sneaker with light purple-stained (used to be white) laces. Oh, great, someone mixed in something purple with the whites. I go to the laundry machine which is outside on the sidewalk outside a frat house. My sheets are in a laundry basket on top of the machine, I pick them up, are they clean? One is damp, maybe they're still dirty.

+ I'm preparing for some quality time with a NSFW magazine, I hear some people approaching and I hide it under the bed. Later (after another dream?), I'm sitting on top of the bed, leaning on my left hip which covers the mag under the blankets. Someone says "what's that?". I say "nothing." I then see that the incriminating mag is half-sticking out from the side of the bed, I quickly snap it up and toss it under the bed. A guy again asks "What's THAT!?" I keep saying "NOTHING!"

+ weird sequence about thinking about making out with a girl floating down a hallway, I'm sort of in control?, because I'm dreaming?, people ask her what her problem is but I know it's because she's dreaming...?

+ the famous doctor is leaving for Europe (who's going to help the dreaming girl above?) but allows us to use his extensive library

+ in some hall (the library?), people are saying goodbye, aren't they going to say it to me? I pull out a reed (there's a bit taken off of one corner), have some trouble putting it on my instrument, but I do, then I play a bunch of fast scales to really impress the audience while they're filing into the hall.

*+ long adventure, conflict, they're going to blame the IT team, interfering with people in a large mall, expecting punishment. *Flying in to the main square on the street for the conclusion, my son S2 says his entire IT class is going to be blamed, I think that's not fair. *Off to the side some guys are dressed in football uniforms. *Earlier, I was in a small room with a large group. *Later I was pushing and pulling people around with a very long pole

+ covertly passing items to a co-conspirator by remotely sending them (via telepathy) to distant holes hidden in the ground. *I'm able do dig these holes by stretching my arm mentally to the destination and thrusting my mental hand into the ground

+ stuck in an underground maze after chasing a coin down a hole, the paths are all too small to fit through*

+ (lucid #63) see cute girl, walk by, see her again later wearing less, basically a small black bikini-like outfit, she's leaning up against a wall, I stop and look closely at her, realize her face is a bit out of proportion (too large) and is not that beautiful but I'm still attracted to her, I get lucid, try to will her to get undressed, wonder where she would put her clothes (in a bag?) I can't move or turn, it feels like any sort of movement on my part will end the dream, wondering what I can do about this, it ends anyway

+ sitting on a stool in a restaurant bar talking with the bartender about a famous restauranteur that I knew (real memory including his name), I'm have trouble speaking, I think that's odd, that normally only happens in dreams (doh!)

+ at a swimming pool I'm concerned about losing my flip flops, I walk around to find a closet to put them in, I think they will be stolen, I look down at them they're brown plastic shower sandals lined with little massage buds all over, there are lots of other sandals in that closet

(f) *some people are going on a tour

(f) a woman is on the run and is slipping in to a "safe room" just off of the sidewalk that had been prepared for her, is there a bathroom in there? I see her open the door, slip inside, and close the door behind her

(f) some people are taking pictures at a tourist site

*+ epic: dinner party at the rich guy's house, his girlfriend is coming on to me in front of him (and my wife!), he leaves, we tour the house including an awesome rec room, he returns, the girlfriend boasts how she's going to get a whole new wardrobe out of him*

This woman (I'm current age, she about the same, were all "mature adults" here) is flirting with me the entire time: at one point we hold hands behind my back, but the rich guy can see
* *Then she gives me a present, a card which one one side has her name written (gibberish) and on the other side a 3-d heart made from ribbons folded on the card, made from a gift the rich guy had given her (so its another slap in the face to him). *When walking around the enormous house she walks past me from my left to my right, trailing her finger slowly *and seductively across my stomach, I respond by reaching out with my right arm and lightly/playfully *smacking her between her shoulder blades. * Once the rich guy is gone we (whole group of us) tour the house, and go upstairs where we had not yet been. *In a long hallway, the right side wall is made of glass, I think the entire side and roof of the house is glass and will have a fabulous view, but the wall is not very tall and the ceiling is opaque so the house does not meet my expectations, but I still manage to look out and see a vista extending off into rolling hills in the far distance. *Walk into a large dim bedroom and see a large bed to the left. *More glass on the right, this is obscured glass you can't see through it only light comes through.

Walking down now stairs into the rec room basement, I see several large round tubs holding *lots of bottles of wine: of course this rich guy has an impressive wine cellar here and *I point this out to a male friend next to me. *The room is huge. *There are around a dozen large game tables spread all around the room, weird billiard tables with lots of bumpers on them and holes kind of like a skee-ball game, there's a large media area (playing advertisements?), I think I see a normal pool table somewhere in the room. *Leave back up outside, I see the old rich guy has returned, we go back down to the rec room and I tell him "I'm quite a billiards player, well, pool actually". * The rich guy offers a male friend a small ice cream bar, andthe guy declines saying he could perhaps just take one bite. Back down in the rec room the woman who was flirting *with me is talking about how she's going to get an entire new wardrobe out of the rich guy (to make up for her bad behavior?)

22:47 4mg melatonin

23:30? bedtime

00:00 Saturday 2014-09-07

03:45 alarm, 2x 4mg Galantamind, 2x 300mg Alpha-GPC, 2 rye crackers, glass of milk

I have the feeling I had been dreaming. Then I recall the dreams -- interesting, 4mg melatonin is the most I've ever taken, and I had recall after only about 4 hours.

+ lying down outdoors on the ground/street which is a giant curving smooth piece of ice, either Winnie-the-pooh or Christopher Robin cannot deal with this road of ice, someone was hurt. It's very smooth, slippery, and hard, slightly curved, long and wide.

+ I'm sitting down to work in a large open room, there is a security bunker up above the room and to the right of me set into the wall at about 10 feet above the ground with several large windows/openings, it is plain concrete walls, I think "wow they have absolutely no decorations in there, I wonder how they like it,", I'm looking up at the 3 guys in the bunker, one of them, in the right-most window, looks back at me for a few seconds before looking away, they've decided I'm OK. They're talking amongst themselves. later these guys are talking about an employee who left to another company, and one who will probably not leave, pizza delivery -- "short stack" boxes which you get to eat all on your own

I'm up on a roof, the security guys were talking about how "Leonid" was going to take a job in another country, but that "the French guys didn't get anybody." This may have been in a foreign language.

Some pizza was delivered in "short boxes," which are not as tall as normal pizza boxes. If you get a short box you are allowed to eat the entire pizza yourself, one guy took one and I got one.

+ Walking buy a 2-story strip-mall, I see an attractive blonde woman well-dressed she's giving some pitch to nobody in particular, I think I've seen her before, I ask my wife "hey didn't we meet her in the airport in Europe somewhere?" Wife disagreed but I'm pretty sure I'm right, she's on the phone giving someone a sales pitch, her name is Lei or Leica and her name is outisde her office on a sign at the stripmall.

+(f) I'm in a room, the maids are outside, I don't want them to see me.

(mid-morning)

reading for a while, trying to sleep. Try SSILD for a while and get distracting very bright fireworks-like HI: big bright blobs of colors and purple sparkly dots

+ diving down into deep murky water to save the drowning girl, there's little hope, I think I grasp her hand at last and try to bring her up



08:43

+ self-pleasing impossible activity, I actually manage to do it a little bit. I'm thinking about naked pictures of a particular pose, it transforms to be gross.
I'm sleeping but I hear people approaching, I wonder if I should check my laptop to see if the NSFW content is showing, I look at it and wow it's good that I did because there's a full-screen NSFW picture there, I clear it and try to lock the screen, but can't find the ALT key to hit ALT-L, someone's getting closer and closer and I finally hit it.

+ In my parent's living room, my wife is walking around by the window, and I think "maybe I should check to see if this is a dream, because I may not have been here before this" but I don't check.(ARGH! ). I'm sitting at a table full of gadgets, the piano is to my right, my mother hands me something and says "will you put this back, please?" and I answer "what is this from? I have no idea what this is." A man is near me to the left by the buffet doing something with a VCR which is down on the floor, I see some of the lights/words on the display panel, it turns out he's sending email from the VCR, I say "I had no idea you could send email from a VCR!" There's a second VCR on the buffet. I wonder if I shouldn't just let him use our normal internet device, that would be easier for him. I know he's the 2nd clarinet player, and I wonder what he's doing here, is he here for a carpool? I come around to the other side of the table in the center of the room looking back over this table and see that the guitar had been laid down on its back on top of a pile of things, I think someone has moved it out of the way to sit at the table. Then I realize that the thing my mom gave to me was the battery compartment cover located on the back of a charging device. I was happy to find what this thing was for. I pick up the main device and turn it around to look at its front. There were 3 old-style rotary telephones (I see the dials and the handsets) attached to this device, with modular plugs plugging into the housing of this device. I think this is a really convenient device, you can plug in all your phones to it. There is a phone list attached to the front of the device, the top part had handwritten notes, I recognized it as my mother's handwriting. One of the entries was for "the double-GUID" and I knew this was a computer tech support phone number, I fondly think about how my parent's always write down technical things in complete detail on sheets of paper. In the typed area I recognize the word "sexist."

I have to charge this device so I cross the room and sit on the right-side of the couch by the TV, I think my dad is to my right, I think I could plug in batteries to this thing, and I look around me and see a dozen or more rechargable AA batteries strewn around the place, it's messy, sitting on the table in front of me, on the couch, and some plugged in to a charging unit with 1-2 batteries in it and about 8 empty slots. I think I'll have to plug this device into a wall, batteries will not have enough power to charge the device.

---------------------
Then my wife shakes me awake to tell me where she's leaving the key

00:00 Friday 2014-09-05

YET ANOTHER broken night, wife was involved in a traffic accident (very minor) and so with all the paperwork, etc., she didn't get home until 2am, I was so tired I couldn't sleep for a while.

02:00? bed time

09:45? got up to bathroom before recall, bad move, forgot tons of dream time. Lucky to recover this much given the circumstances of the night:

Big pizza night:

+ arranging toppings on pizza: your favorite toppings go in the middle, you leave a space for them and put them there, pepperoni is especially good to put there.

+ In some sort of store my attention is focused on a box on the floor, packaged in cardboard, I know inside this package is a book about computer VLSI design which I want, I open the packaging and take out the book to look at it, also a large transparent plastic sealed bag of approved frozen pizza toppings (looks like sausage & pepperoni) also comes out of the package. Some pizza toppings don't work: you can tell this by trying to cook the pizza with that topping and looking to see if the whole pizza turns black.

+ I turn a corner to the right and enter a room, and see immediately that there are workmen redecorating the kitchen counters, I see that the counters are MUCH deeper than before and approve strongly of this change: they extend out a longer distance from the wall now. There will be even enough room for everyone to put down their pizzas on the counter at a big pizza party. The workmen are in the process of covering the counters with a spongy cover material, they're trying to tape it at the base of the wall and stretch it over the counter surfaces. I wonder if this will work because the underlying texture of the counters is not flat, it's a 3d raised texture pattern, the covering will probably not ever sit flat, and may bunch up and tear, the workmen are not able yet to get this covering to sit flat.

+ (no pizza!) I'm painting a small bicycle in a bathroom with shiny reflective silver paint. I want to cover the entire bicycle so it's one solid stainless steel/silver looking bike. I also paint the handlebar basket, and I'm about to paint a stainless steel cup that goes in the basket but I look at it closely and determine it's already entirely the correct colour. I put the cup into the basket which is now attached again to the handlebars. I think about how much paint I need: probably just one (molecule?) think is enough this is a strong paint. I take the bike down off of the edge of the tub and see below me on the floor that about a dozen small/medium splotches of silver paint have dropped down on to the peach-colored rug/carpet. I should have used a drop cloth. Some guy (JD from N?) says "that's why I always use the spare seat" and I see an image of an upside down bucket.

Oh so much more , lots of dreaming in there, just beyond reach of recall. Dang it, really had to go to the bathroom upon waking, should have held it and done recall before getting up.

22:43 pre-bedtime 3mg melatonin to help reset sleep schedule

00:00 Wednesday 2014-09-03

04:30

+ I'm in an ocean-view apartment with my wife, I go to the front door to look out at the ocean, I will look through a tall narrow window, I want to smell the ocean air as well. I do not want to go out on the street. I get to the window and open it and look out, far away is a bright beautiful blue ocean scene, there is lots of driftwood in the water looking like little toothpicks at this distance. I go out into an entrance area and look all around it, it is as wide as the house but very short, just a meter or two, I see some sparse furniture like a chair and a vase(?), I want to take a picture of this area and send it to my sister but that's silly because she helped us move in and already saw the place.

I turn around and look back into the apartment. I'm amazed at how huge our apartment is. It is a large carpeted (white/beige) expanse that is actually the street view of the court my childhood home is located on, the view is part outdoors, part indoors. Turning to my left I see/know there's an attachment there and another entire home is located through that entryway, (there's some thought about this and my dad says to keep things the way they are?)

+ I've returned to company N after being only 2 weeks at company B. I feel rather bad about leaving company B, I don't want to face B's president, but some other people have also left to return to N including childhood friend ChBnr. I'm sitting in a group with JW from company N. Maybe I can receive double salary for a while?

+ serving ice cream to an (indian?) man. I'm speaking and offering a choice of chocolate <this>, chocolate <that>, Funky Monkey. He says he wants probably the chocolate one the fruity one is too sweet and I agree with this, I have a scoop in my hand and a large, open multi-gallon container of ice cream in front of me.

+ in an inside location, no room for the group, they could sleep in the elevator that's going up to the right, they don't want to, there may be a red mat at the top for them to sleep on

+ different options for getting back out chip design: there are various simulators but we could just get the real design back from the foundry right away, and if so what's the point of the other options?

+ talking to the neighbors of childhood home, I was amazed to find that after all these years, the mother there was originally from <my country>, and tried to remember/pronounce the name of her city several times

more dreams but they're buried deeply, didn't want to dig for them at the possible expense of insomnia.

Well sh*t, insomnia anyway
05:30 get up eat bowl of cereal
07:45 breakfast duty

09:00? back to bed, exhausted, fall asleep pretty quickly

12:45 still exhausted but decide to get up

Lots of dreams but just too tired to remember them:

+(f) entering a forbidden hallway with guards down at the other end who come running to me

+(f) in a house giving a ring as a present to a woman

+(f) outdoors in a garden fussing with a hose some threatening guy comes by

and lots more but they faded away
