Fragment 1: someone at work said I had to deal with my fingernails, so I examined them at home. There was something dearly wrong with each of them. Two nails were entirely coming off. One had a plastic fake nail in front of it that was ingrown into my finger. The others were way too long and dirty.

Fragment 2: someone wanted to give something to the company I worked for, and we had to figure out whether we could legally accept the gift since it was way more valuable than what it was replacing. Also had to figure out who the companies owners and heirs really were. Another thing we knew was that last year a coworker and I had discovered a dead body at the work place after hours, and we reported it to upper management, who made the body disappear and it was never reported to the police.

Sometimes a man needs to examine what is needed for changing of world view, and whether a change in weather is needed for example or not.

Was surprised to meet my mom at the sink in a public restroom since I had no clue she was coming into town.

Searched throughout my purse for the parking garage ticket, and unearthed a rental car key of a car I had already returned and reported the key lost. The parking garage attendant offered to return the key for me.

There was a flood in my office. Well, it was not actually anything like my office but in the dream it was my office. The flood started because a device attached to the ceiling above my cube malfunctioned, and it sprayed water profusely. I could not turn it off, could not get to it. But then the safety net quickly crawled covering the whole office floor and snapping into place, and the flood stopped. I determined that I could plug that device back in and it could again do whatever it is it did with water, but I was not sure I should. Why did I need it anyway? It was not standard issue for my work, so something I brought in. There was also lots of other stuff I did not need there, including a sofa stuffed with random stuff including a disconnected lamp. I chose not to plug the device in and to throw it away.

I dreamed I was at work with my pants off. Then I woke up (false awakening) still without my pants on.

A coworker I do not have in real life wanted me to send a message from her to a departing teammember. I said I already said my goodbyes, why don't you communicate this yourself? She wanted to know how often I communicate with this guy, I said all the time. She seemed disappointed and reluctant to contact him herself.

I found out that an eight year old girl, one of my son's friends, was pregnant, and claiming that my son (also 8 years old) was the father.

So I sat down on the edge of the bed to discuss sex with my son to find out whether he has had it. He pointed out that this was awkward, and wasn't he too young to have this conversation. And I admitted that this was true, but if the girl was correct in what she claimed than this is a conversation we should have had even earlier.

I was a teen with a flat tire, and needed to reach a bike shop. I knew where it was, but on the way I had to pass a tunnel and they were closing it. I tried to pass them but they stopped me saying this way is closed. I said please, I have a flat tire and I am tired, and I need to reach the pike shop, and they let me through.

I was going on a business trip to Seattle for just two days Friday and Saturday. But my mother was visiting, and I knew she would not like my going, so I delayed telling her until the last moment, but I would need her help, helping my husband with the kids while I was gone.

My mom told me that she looked forward to having some chocolate milk with breakfast. Next thing I remember I was lying down and drinking chocolate milk straight from the carton. It was a small carton and I finished it. Then I felt bad because I knew my mom had wanted some. I wanted to make amends and go to the store and get more, but there was concern whether there was enough time to do that before breakfast.

Shucks I just remembered that earlier this morning I remembered a dream and did not write it down, and now I don't remember it any more. I hate it when that happens.

I've had a long dry spell and have been neither paying attention to dreams nor recall.

Last night I dreamed I had several rows of teeth in my mouth. They had grown that way instead of in one row around my mouth, they were more in the middle of my mouth in several rows. And I could take them out to use "as needed" though I do not know what that meant: use for what? Needed when? I remember being concerned whether these were permanent teeth or baby teeth, and I knew there was something wrong with this, but I was fuzzy about what.

It was part of my job to persuade the angry woman to give my teammates access. She was mad because we kept sending new people who were not only new to our team but did not have much work experience and were cocky (self confident with nothing to back it up). Given that our job involved top secret espionage, specifically spying in China, I could really appreciate the woman's point of view, that she did not want to give access to these newbies. However, it was my job to try to persuade her to give them access anyway.

I was not myself. I was female. I think I was working for se sort of law enforcement organization. I was trying to "entrap" someone to try to reveal what they did illegal about a house. My boss reminded me to not purger myself in the process, and in this dream any lie seemed to be close to purgery.

I was away from the office but heard that a coworker had broken a leg. When I came to the office building, the elevator door opened and they were wheeling away this coworker and another coworker both on the same stretcher and from the positioning of their legs, I assumed they both had the same leg broken. I thought maybe I should not go up, since there seemed to be an epidemic of broken legs in my office, and I did not want to get it.

After a WBTB with only a vague fragment about work from before, I went back to bed.

I woke up and it appeared that while I was sleeping my husband set up this great wooden train track for the kids as a surprise, and it was well received only my younger son was there to ooh and ah. My husband had also used Christmas lights, awesome. He said to open the shutter to where my orchids were to see more lights there. I opened and there were no lights, but it was amazing how many critters had come out over night: there were slugs and millipedes among my orchids and I was fascinated not concerned. Then I saw the large fish swimming through the air among the orchids, and I thought in wonder. "I am dreaming!" I tried to put my finger through my palm to RC, and as I tried but did not complete the RC I watched and the fish then faded into thin air, but so did my dream.

I was awake, but I thought no problem, I can DEILD right back.

I thought it failed, and so I considered myself awake when I found myself outside a house I considered my own in this dream. It was a dark night. I was excited about having had a lucid, so I danced outside with joy. I think this is when I realized I was dreaming, but I may have it confused. I remember that sometime in this dream I transformed dark into light very bright light but I do not recall whether this was here or later. I reached the front door, and there was this woman there who wanted to talk to me. I knew she was not real, so I was not concerned when she held on to my arm and started talking. I said "Dream character, begone." and I held out a palm of my hand toward her face as I said it. But instead of being gone she started chirping like a bird and transformed into a young man still holding onto my arm. I did not want to stay with him though, so I started flying. As I flew the landscape transformed underneath me. I flew above an ocean, and then above a town (I now recall the town looked kind of like made out of blocks). First I flew myself, but then I discovered a flying carpet underneath me. I was fine with that. I know some of the flight was at high speed but then I slowed down to enjoy the sights.

I woke up and my husband wanted to talk to me, and I said not now I need to find my phone to record this awesome lucid dream. He was nice enough to leave the room, but my younger son came in and wanted something from me. I was searching for my phone in vain and getting more and more frustrated. Finally found the phone.

And that's when I actually woke up. I double checked this time with a reality check. Ah it was not another false awakening! My husband was asleep, and I found my phone without trouble in reality this time. I wrote the lucid down. It was an awesome lucid and very vivid. Part of me wonders whether I forgot anything that happened after the flying carpet - I think there may have been a bit more to this lucid. But I am not going to let that worry me. Yay, lucid!

I saw that there were several tornedoes outside and yet i had to run to reach the safety of a bunker and my family, so I was running dodging tornedoes.

I think i briefly remembered another fragment, but now this one is it.

The beginning of the dream took place during a business meeting, but the people seemed not to be ones I had business with. In reality I did not know them, but in the dream I did. There was a woman, her ex, and either two or three brothers of hers - I am not sure whether there were three brothers or a total of three men in the room counting the ex. I remember strangely that during this meeting all men stayed seated or standing in a row. I knew that the next day I had an invitation to one of the brother's home.

After the meeting the other brother invited me to his home for the same time as his brother expected me at his place. He also demanded that I bring a home made bread. I remembered that his brother also expected that I make a bread. I did not respond to his invitation right away, and did not explain that I had a conflicting invitation.

So after this I was worried about how I was going to decline the invitation of one of the brother's without offending him. Also I seemed to be even more concerned about the potential of having to bake two loaves of bread that about the need to be in two places at the same time.
