Related to a different dream I had in the past. There was a group of people. A few adults and a couple of kids. We're trying to get out of like a house, but bigger than a house. There's this weird undead army, like with rotted military uniforms. They were no more than 20 or 30 yards away. They're not attacking us, but we have to make our way out. In the last dream they were more aggressive than they are this time. We're getting ready to leave and we're trying to pack up our stuff without them doing anything. Trying to make it out without them doing anything or making it worse with them. We were deciding what to get and grabbing sleeping bags and get ready without startling them. It was like "If we just be quiet they won't follow us for a while."

It ties into a dream I had before which was pretty tense and were being driven around by them and it was a lot more tense. At one point I realized that I hadn't washed my clothes and I was going to have to pack them dirty, but I said something like “We'll just make a washing machine when we get there.” The setting of the house was modern and normal, but the place we were doing to head toward was wilderness, maybe time shifted, but I knew that I had experience from going there before, so I was annoyed, but not worried. I don't remember that previous dream in WL, but I remembered it as a separate session while in this dream. This wasn't scary, but it was very focused and on-task, especially since we had kids with us and having to keep them quiet. I felt like they did well though, like they hadn't been to this place we were heading, but they were going to do fine.

Short dream about work where I was heading to a meeting and found out the guy that supposed to lead it wasn't working there anymore, but he going to lead it anyway for some reason. I considered sending him a text, but then I woke up.

I was walking around in a neighborhood looking for something. Someone said something about a defense system, but I knew they meant a security system. It was a nice neighborhood, nice cars and lawns. I ended up in a house on couch sleeping. I remember a short snippet of a guy trying to sleep in a bookcase with the wall kinda crumbling.

Then the scene changed and I was seeing an a guy in an orange suit, a coverall like a prisoner would wear. He was just running, he wasn't a prisoner, he just had the gear on. I knew it was a dream, so I decided that I wanted be in that scene, and I was there. I kind of dropped into it like I jumped down and landed. I didn't really see much of myself. I looked up at a ledge that led to a parking lot or some other flat area. I was on asphalt only a little ways below it. I was still thinking about this being a dream. I thought about doing an RC, but I just pulled myself up. Then I felt like I was tangled up with my physical body, so I tried to get free by rolling or something. At that point I lost that scene. I had some blurry vision of trying to roll away from my body. I could hear what sounded like me moving in my bed and that woke me up. It really reminded me of my first almost WILD when I woke myself up trying to get into the scene that had formed. At least got to be in this one and do a couple of things.

I guess that was my first lucid, such as it was. It was a MILD after yet another failed WILD. I'll take it.

- Almost didn't remember anything, but didn't give up and remembered.
Kinda like a TV show, NY maybe. It was like that was some stuff at
the end, not the main part. I remember a house.
<break and could not get back to sleep>

- A lot of guitar store dawdling around, eventually some super
vivid fast playing, very crisp sound. Close up view of my hand
playing, it felt like I was completely in sync with my picking
and clean.

• played better than I normally can (ACTION)

- More of the guitar store setting, don't remember much else
- Very strange dream, part work/office, but not real work. This
centered on going to lunch and rounding people up to go.
Ex co-worker JDC, a girl I knew in high school and another DC. There
was something about a some TV I had setup and someone moved
it for a meeting. The girl and my friend were there and the girl
had an Elmo about 3 inches tall with a tv for a head that they
were watching. The Elmo tv thing was on its side. And she had her
head laying the the table sideways as she watched it. We finally
ended up leaving the girl behind. I kept getting my foot stuck in
hinge side of a door in crowded hallway, like in school, when it opened.
They had painted around it in some way that made you want to
put your foot into the wrong place, it was weird. Met a guy that
followed along with us after some other stuff. Eventually his dad
showed up too. We had lunch at this place in a really tall building,
which after we had climbed up it, flew up it pretty much, it kind of
disintegrated and the city or whoever replaced it with a very unnatural
looking little palm tree thing about 5 feet tall. We had pictures of the
place before it went away and were showing it to passers by and saying
we didn't think it was right for it to be replaced with that thing.

• groups of people who don't belong together (CONTEXT)
• school setting (CONTEXT)
• Elmo TV (FORM)
• strange perspective on the door (FORM)
• climbing a building (ACTION)
• building disintegrating (ACTION)
• unrealistic petitioning of passers by (ACTION)
• sad about the building going away (INNER AWARENESS)
