Before 6am
Fragments
-My parents are staying with friends of theirs. I head over on my own to meet them. The house has large gardens. While walking towards the unfamiliar house, I wonder if her friends will recognise me. The last time we met I was probably 9 years old. Inside the house are an unusual collection of people, including my old boss DB.

-A TV show is being filmed in a large building. I run through the room, past someone talking to a camera, messing up the take. Screw it. I find a dead end and backtrack through the shot again as they restart filming. There are narrow stairs leading up. Here there is more filming taking place, for a different show. People are talking about designing helmets for a competition. TR has submitted a design already. I pick up and study a streamlined helmet, which is like the British olympic cycling team ones in style and shape.

-In a car as a passenger. Following a rider on a horse. The horse is at a strange angle, like 45 degrees rather than walking straight. The car is apparently stressing it out, so I tell the driver to back off a bit. The rider almost falls off but recovers. As we move lanes to go straight over at a set of lights, the horse moves out as well. Already at the lights is a giant cart thing. It rolls back and almost crushes the horse and rider.

6.30-7.30am
Short LD 342 "Throwing Stones"
ST and myself are wandering around tunnels on the London Underground. The walls are decorated in mosaic tiles. An announcement booms out: The train is already at the platform and about to leave. This doesn't fill me with urgency though, we continue walking. The tunnels lead to some stairs that fold back on themselves in incomprehensible MC Escher type ways. This makes me lucid.

After becoming lucid I start to fly upwards and backwards to get out of the dark underground tunnel. I emerge on a platform with large stone cubes instead of benches. Recalling the super strength task I try to lift the nearest one. It is easy to do, but the cube seems to have shrunk and feels really light. I pick up a few more of the stone cube seats and manage to lift one over my head, then throw it with one arm.
