I go to bed at 10:15 with my alarm set for 5:30. I wake naturally at 3.

Felisin's mistake
I see Felisin and a couple of men. Felisin is trying to <something> to gain power over the people more quickly, but I know it'll backfire since she's doing it's too soon. I try to dissuade her from this path to do something else, but she won't listen to me.


I get back to sleep some time after 4:15 I try all kinds of things, but nothing seems to help (self hypnosis; focusing on breathing and then on a visualized candle; sixty-one point meditation (then again, I only remember making it down both arms, so maybe it did actually help)). My alarm wakes me at 5:30.

Consequences of a bad night
I've driven to a house to work on something. I'm here really early: I couldn't get back to sleep once I woke up during the night, so I just came on over. I realize that I don't have either my backpack or my phone and consider going back home to fetch them (I have time since I'm so early), but I decide against it. I can manage without them, and I'd hate to waste another hour and a half in the car. I feel a blocky shape in my pocket and feel relieved: it seems I didn't forget my cellphone after all. I feel it more closely and realize that it's actually my old, broken smart phone. I feel it even more closely and realize that it's actually the clamshell I had before I got my first smart phone.

Now my family is here, and we're talking about something, maybe doing some brainstorming. Now I'm at the other end of the house in a small enclosed porch. As I'm going back into the house proper, Daniel W comes out. Now I'm in a bedroom along with one of Mike B's sons. He's working on laundry, folding the newly clean stuff and putting dirty stuff into a big pink plastic container (just like we took camping). Somehow I mess him up. I apologize, explaining I had a terrible night, and leave the room.

Now I'm in the car driving to school. The roads feel familiar, but some of the road markings aren't: where I'm sure there used to be proper driving lanes, now they're all covered in the diagonal "don't drive here" lines. I don't think much of it besides figuring that they were trying to make traffic flow better. I become aware of a low sports car driving behind me. He's being really obnoxious, tailgating me and trying to swerve around to pass me. I'm concerned, but I don't change my driving patterns at all: I know that if I give in to these kinds of people, it'll just encourage them. Eventually we reach a multilane section where he swerves into the other lane, guns his engine, and shoots past me. I'm thankful to see him go.

Now I've parked and am walking the last little way to class. I realize that I don't have my backpack, but it's much too late to go back to get it now. I realize I've been walking for a while, much longer than I should have been. I press forward and eventually come to a road I've never seen before (I see the road name on a little green sign). I start to get worried, since class will be starting soon. I pull out my phone to check the time and see that it's 8:59. Class starts at 7:00, so I've only got a minute to get there (No that's not a typo. Yes, that's what I really thought in my dream)! I'll be late! I turn around and start jogging back, at the same time pulling up Waze on my phone. Now my eldest daughter is at my side and starts talking about inane things. I try to explain that this isn't the time, that I'm running incredibly late for my classes, and she starts asking inane questions. As we're walking/jogging through a fairly large parking lot, I'm trying to type "high school" into the Waze search box, but it keeps coming up as gibberish. I'm trying to think whether it would be better to enter class late or just to skip it altogether. I try to think what my first class is, but I can't remember. Math? PE? I can't even remember if this is my first day of class or not - what if the teacher gives instructions we'll need to remember?


Protecting the device
I'm driving my car. A woman I don't really know is in the passenger seat, and a cat is somehow involved. We've got some technology that Melissa T, some kind of spy / government agent / something wants to get her hands on. We enter a wide tunnel (at least three or four lanes wide) and get stuck in a traffic jam. As we're coming to a stop, I see Melissa a couple of cars in front of us. She turns around and makes eye contact with me. I think about ducking down, but I know there's nothing I can do. She knows we're here, she's going to come for us, and there's nowhere we can go! My companion decides now is the time to activate the device, a brick-shaped thing. We touch the tips of the fingers on my right hand to the tips of the fingers on her left hand, then she presses something on the brick. I'm not sure what will happen - will we switch bodies? If so, how does that help us get away from Melissa? Why is the cat here? Will one of us end up in the cat and escape that way?


An icy river
It's night, and I'm outside a house. I'm standing on some kind of large deck, and I'm aware of the house rising up a couple of stories behind me. As I stand at the railing looking out over a small river passing under us, I become aware that a man (who looks like Sean Connery) is standing at the railing a few feet from me, also looking out over the river. As I look more closely at the river, I notice strange foamy white stuff on top. I ask the man if it's ice flows, and he confirms that it is. It's beautiful. Now my youngest daughter comes toddling out and somehow falls into the water, quickly going under. I don't hesitate but jump in after her, somehow knowing the water will only be up to my waist. Sure enough, I'm able to stand comfortably in the water, bend down, and scoop up my daughter, who's unharmed. I'd expected the water to be painfully cold and am surprised that I really can't feel it all. Now the rest of my family is here, and we're wading through the water to see something on the other side.
