yesterday (2023-07-06): + I'm playing sidewalk football on street outside CH. I'm a receiver for this play, run, look back, and the QB passes me the ball, I catch it perfectly in stride, and score a TD. A picture perfect touchdown pass! Then there's another play where I'm punting the ball, I plan to kick it really far, but instead it is a very weak, short kick that goes right into the receiving team's hands. + [a number of dreams with people in places forgotten] + [f] there is a tree growing on a hillside, the tree actually grows *into* the hill. This explains (something). today: earlier: + driving in a car with someone. We're heading somewhere. There is a large (school?) on a steeply sloping hillside on our left, sloping down away from the road. There is a long staircase leading down with people walking up it. The steps are both wide and tall, I have a "deja vu" moment of "remembering" that we (or someone) had previously driven down that staircase, I imagine it would be a very bumpy ride. We do not try it. We want to find the school's headmaster. We're driving further along the road. I get out and start doing large fly/glide/jumps down the steep, rocky hill. Down below I see the headmaster, who looks just like a famous actor (forgot, older man). Then an enemy back at the top of the hill starts sending blinding attacks at me which affect my vision. I try to counter these with intent to keep my vision clear, but my defense is only moderately effective. I get to the bottom? + I arrive in a new location [I'm aware of this!], I got there "somehow" (don't know), I look around and orient myself and it seems very familiar [deja vu?]. There are no-brand-name gas stations, one across the highway/street from me, and one to my right on my side of the street. I'm trying to get my orientation/bearings. I see what I "remember" to be a (taco/mexican) restaurant. I have a "memory" of being there before. There are people inside, and the "familiar" chef is standing there. The walls are glass [DS! DS! DS!] so you can see everything from the outside. I approach there, go in, want to order, but there is no food visible, and I wonder if it's closing time/past the time to order. There are no menus. But the chef is standing there smiling and very inviting and I get the impression it is still possible to order. (I see some dishes of food on a counter by the kitchen?) later: + I'm with ShrCly from company N, she is telling me how I was her 2nd favorite of all the employees, and how impressed she was on some task when I on my own initiative created a huge map (several meters square) for a project. I am reviewing her as well, and I can't decide on a rating, so I write a scraggly/uneven "3" on a (board/paper?), and sort of regret this low rating. She is inviting me and everyone to her dance class, which will be held at 1pm and 1am. I know I can't make the 1pm one, and don't want to go to the 1am one, so I'm trying to back out of the offer politely. + [f] (maybe contd. from above) i'm in an open area with people around. I realize I'm naked [DS], and grab a towel to cover up?
Another long lucid! Even if it was split in the middle. And a TON of dreams overall! Though they took forever to type. Slept at 12:30. Dream #1 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): Something about driving and LGBTQ. Woke up at 4:00 and WBTB. Dream #2 (Non-Lucid): I was reading about a closeted gay eighth grader, and of course since it was a dream the scenes popped into my head like a TV show. MC was in a warehouse with his friends, goofing around, when he looked in the mirror and said, "You know what, guys? I'm going to go do it, I'm just gonna do it, why am I waiting for high school? It doesn't even make sense." He was talking about doing the nasty with a girl, but he didn't really want to. He was just trying to prove to himself and everyone else that he wasn't gay. When he headed for the door, my feelings of opposition seemed to affect him. He stopped dead in his tracks and turned around. I physically typed out the words I wanted him to say: "You're not gonna stop me?!?!" Then I wrote out his friends' response: "No?" One laughed in confusion, another scowled. I remember crossing out a comma and replacing it with the question mark, then being sure to emphasize that one of them was scowling. MC said something about "three men," and the angry friend became even angrier. "Of course not," he snapped. After that MC was tempted to say the same thing about "four men," but he chickened out because there were four of his friends there and the risk of them catching on was too high. I accepted that, just glad that he'd changed his mind, and he left the warehouse. The plot changed. I was now actively in the dream, as myself yet not myself. I lived in a big house with my "grandma" and brother Z. He and I were in "our room," and when I gazed out the arched window into the night, I saw a peculiar black cat rummaging around, eating trash. I was fascinated by its strange appearance and wanted to interact with it. It was past midnight, so I waited for "Grandma" to go to the basement before sneaking downstairs and opening the front door. I whispered for it to come inside and eat something edible. It obeyed, but the granny was coming back upstairs so I fled to my room. She definitely knew I'd been down there, despite Z trying to cover for me. (He was not himself either.) However, she let it go and sat down with the cat at the table, saying that they had to have a long chat regarding me. At one point she called sweetly to me from the kitchen and snapped at Z when he spoke up. He was holding a "full" glass of regurgitated yogurt (it reached the fill line, but that line was barely one fourth of the cup). It was not abnormal in the dream, but I was disgusted all the same. Woke up at 5:00 and, after journaling, sat up and really focused on becoming lucid. I explained what it meant, quickly performed MILD, and upped my awareness of myself and my surroundings. Then I went back to sleep, lucidity the last thing on my mind. (As in, the final thing I was thinking about, not something I didn't care about at all... I hate English.) Dream #3 (Lucid): First thing I remember is tagging along as a man led Harlequin down a flight of stairs. We were in her dream. Once we reached the bottom of the steps, we could see an oasis-like place at the end of the hallway. But when we looked back up, we realized we had descended 2000-feet-worth of stairs, and Harlequin's family was screaming her name at the top of their lungs as if she had died. Trying to keep things under control, I asked, "Are you going to go to the oasis?" She frowned and scoffed, "My brain drew that with MS paint." Then she left the dream. [I don't remember what she looked like because I wasn't paying attention.] What a waste, I thought, and went to check out the oasis myself. It was really just a small room with a pool of water, cabinet, window, and carpet, but I sat down on that carpet and became lucid. I attempted to increase the vividness and thought it was working, but when I woke up I couldn't remember how it looked so maybe it wasn't. I also believed myself to be more clear-headed than I really was. To my credit, I was able to remember the Task of the Season and decided to complete a basic task: asking a dream character what will happen tomorrow! I phased through the window and emerged a couple stories above the ground, a tree swaying in the wind below me. Everything was a bit unstable so I grabbed a leaf and tried to focus my attention on it as a stabilization technique (as Oneirin suggested), but it didn't work very well. Somehow I got out of there and ended up flying down a street, chasing after people in cars and trying to get them to answer the question, but every one of them just flashed weird looks and drove faster. Finally I peered into the passenger window of one car and saw a one-year-old baby strapped into a baby seat in the middle. Next to him, on the far side, was a 12-ish-year-old blond boy. "Hey!" I yelled to the baby. "What do you think will happen tomorrow?" He glanced at me and started lifting his arms out of the harness straps. I assumed he wanted to get closer to the window, but if a car struck them from behind and he was unbuckled I knew he'd be dead. "Uhh, no, no, don't do that," I said, and suddenly a horde of skinny, black-bodied, white-headed, Bendy-like creatures rushed toward the car with their arms outstretched. Altogether they resembled the Wall of Flesh in Terraria. I was kicked out of the dream and replaced by a fourteen-year old anime girl. She flew through the car and grabbed the twelve-year old, sending them tumbling out the other side into an alleyway. The car was destroyed and the boy watched his baby brother get ripped to shreds, one layer at a time. But he wasn't fazed at all! In fact, when the girl held out a hand to him (third person POV), he blushed and took it! She was a dream superhero of some sort, and there was the sense that she had saved many people from those creatures many times before. She wore red gloves and a short red skirt, black sweatpants, and a black sweater. At some point they were hiding in the "|" part of a "T"-shaped alleyway, and the boy was able to keep the creatures out by stretching his body to disturbing proportions. Even as the nonexistent observer I was very confused. Once the creatures cleared out, the boss of the girl appeared. With a smile they said, "You must be [name]'s reincarnation." [Name] was a very powerful Dream Hero, the most legendary of them all, but the girl was not her reincarnation. No, that was a different girl, and she was back at the lab undergoing testing. MC reminded me of Akko, and the reincarnated girl reminded me of Diana (though she looked like Neiru from Wonder Egg Priority). MC was having trouble keeping her face stable (it was actually glitching) and started to deny it, but cut herself off. "Is- is Izzy here?" (Another Dream Hero.) Don't remember if anyone responded, but somehow it was revealed that the boy had "done this before" and was actually a member of their organization. When she heard that, MC flushed with rage and grabbed his collar. "Say that sooner!" she shouted. She was embarrassed because she'd been under the impression that she'd saved a helpless civilian, and now felt stupid for being so proud. She stormed out of the room (the alley had gradually morphed into a hotel room) and I returned to the dream, lucid again. I had very little memory of what had happened and zero awareness of having switched with the girl. But I realized I still hadn't gotten an answer to the TotS question, and ran back to the boy. He was being carried like a sack of potatoes by an invisible person. "What should I do tomorrow?" I asked. (Phrased it that way because I thought he might not respond to "what will happen tomorrow?") He glared at me, and the vividness of his voice increased tenfold as he spat, "I think you should die." I actually got goosebumps from how clear and angry his tone was, but brushed it off. The style of the dream had become cheap and pixelated, and I turned to see Mafuyu lying flat on the ground. I sat next to her. "Mafuyu, what will happen tomorrow?" She probably assumed I was asking her out and responded, "Saturday is sad day." (Both she and I were under the impression that tomorrow was Saturday.) "I see. Sad day, huh." I sat by her a little while longer before standing up. Each hotel door was themed to match a Project Sekai character. Kanade's was first, light blue and decorated with solid circles and hollow triangles. I cracked it open and found her wrapped up in blankets like a burrito. Sensing that I would wake up soon, I decided it wasn't worth interacting with her her. I hurriedly moved on to Mizuki's sparkly pink door, but for some reason, I knocked this time. I called her name, excited to hear her response, as she and Mafuyu are my favorite characters. After a pause, a very accurate voice responded, "Yeah?" I asked the question, but before she could answer the dream faded and I woke up! Nooo! But at the same time, yesss, to this amazing lucid! I was surprised to find it was only 6:25, but it took me an hour to finish writing, so I didn't get back to sleep till 7:30-ish. I wasn't very tired, so maybe that's why I kept waking up and had all these dreamlets. Dream #4 (Non-Lucid): This was on the border between a hypnagogic hallucination and a dream. I was in the kitchen and one of my parents dumped milk and acid in my head. Then I was in a dark void, walking down a floating runway and smashing open doors with an axe. I found my dad in one of them. He had murdered my mom. I raised my axe and killed him. Woke around 8:00 and WBTB. Dream #5 (Non-Lucid): I was being driven somewhere in the middle of nowhere to tutor a kid my age. I was very confused, saying that A was the tutor, not me. But they didn't listen. We nearly ran over a fallen tree and had to get out of the car. It was foggy outside and there was a lake nearby. When I demanded answers, my mom grilled me in return about how I got my voice recorder. [Answer: I biked to the store and bought it without her knowledge.] "I told you, I just found it in my stuff!" I protested, speedwalking away. I came across my brothers and a group of old friends, the only one I could see properly was a kid named Blake. He was holding a football and I asked if he was copying me, as I was playing catch with a football for two hours a couple days ago. Don't remember his response, but I took the football and asked if I could punt it. He refused because there was a lake in the distance and he didn't want it going in. Woke at 8:27 and WBTB. Dream #6 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): Forgot everything when I opened my eyes. Something about flowers. 8:46 WBTB. Dream #7 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): (Illegible.) 9:06 WBTB. Dream #8 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): Lifting weights. Later I was in a store and Harlequin was there, asking how to get home. I directed her to a staff member. 9:19 WBTB. Dream #9 (Non-Lucid): I was driving to a therapy session, though not doing a very good job. In the end I had to lift it up like a chair and force it into a parking spot within the building. Switched the parking brake on and it finally settled down. A girl next to me was doing the same. Some time later people were watching the dream on a screen, admiring the "perspectives" and skill of my "internal camera." I was a little uncomfortable. Plot change. Someone had filmed a TikTok of me saying, "Do you want your madlad chicken? -goes off-screen and returns a couple seconds later- Sorry, they aren't allowed in the cafι but here are some french fries and ketchup." It had 12K likes and I was wearing a dark blue plaid jacket and mask. It repeated a few times before showing the aftermath. S was grabbing me and pointing to a bundled-up customer. "Merlin," they said. (Not my real name but that's what they called me in the dream.) "You have to figure out their identity. Once you do, you'll be shocked." But I could already tell that the twist was that they were gonna be my doppelganger. At some point I had a false awakening and when I was writing down the dream I added, I was covered in leaves (thank goodness I remembered that!). Woke at 9:47 and got up for good. Kinda sad that none of them were lucids, but oh well. Pics of the dream scenes, and a map of the third dream (yes I am totally copying Harlequin):

Jade Green Sparring Match Two (WILD) 07.06.2023 My partner K wakes me up when she is getting out of bed earlier than me and when I fall asleep I feel the dream set in before I lose awareness. I do a RC and confirm I am in a WILD. I get out of bed and summon my robes and put them on in one swoop of my arm. I try pulling up the heads up display with the gesture of swiping up from my left wrist but it doesn't work right away. I wake up but DEILD. I try again and this time I get the holographic HUD to show up. Instead of being futuristic, this time it looks like Windows 11. I tap the search bar and say "Noma". then I snap my finger and get teleported to a beach. I focus on the details and notice that the plants are exotic and have black leaves. I am indeed on Woue but not in the Noma desert where we can fight without causing damage to the environment. I destabilize and DEILD. I repeat the teleportation process from our room. This time when I snap my fingers I find myself laying on a red sandy dune. When I stand up and look over the top of the dune I see a red desert with crashed space craft scattered around! I look behind me and see Hade. He looks like he does in JadeGreen's art! Unfortunately Manei and Jay aren't there. Hade ignites his rockets so I guess it's time to fight! I try throwing a rock at him with telekinesis but it is blocked by a purple hexagonal shield that pops up infront of him. I realize I am a little taken off guard and don't have time to remember my strategy. We both fly at eachother and I try a Superman punch but it is blocked by his shield. We then tangle together (because I grab hold of his arm.) and then we spin around eachother midair. I realize being in close is not a good idea because I have had problems with wrestling in dreams so I let go and we both get flung away from eachother by centrifugal force. When I float from the tumble I feel a pain in the leg from where he hit me with a staff in the last dream we fought in. I wonder if I got hit but I realize it's just a bruise. I learn that I don't have healing factor like Hade and Manei do. Hade pulls out a bow and arrow and I know I have to deflect any arrows he sends with telekinesis or I am done for! Unfortunetly the dream starts to destabilize even with neither of us landing a clear hit. I DEILD again but this time I don't think I have the energy for another match. I experiment with pulling up the HUD again, trying to study it's buttons, but I keep destabilizing for the rest of the REM cycle.
My sleep-meditation mp3 tracks continue to manifest in my dreams. Last night I listened to a reading of Go Rin No Sho (Book of Five Rings), a text about the Samurai and Japanese Swordsmanship. In a dream I entered a dark space, in a degree of sleep paralysis, then a light appeared and suddenly I could see and move. I would class my consciousness as 90% lucid. The reading I was listening to was coming into the dream as movement and light. After a short time I slipped back into a normal dream-state. My sleep meditations at night seem to be appearing more often in my dreams. I am excited, as this would mean I am having an effect on my unconscious mind.

I'm in the car with my dad and we're driving into the town that I grew up in. As we're driving down the streets, I look around and notice how much it has changed. The school I used to go to is all new and so much bigger than it used to be, the roads have been updated, everything is so much flashier than it used to be. There are new shops and houses all over the place that I've never seen before. We park in the parking lot of the shopping centre my dad and I used to go to every week, and we enter in through the back way that we'd always use. For the most part, it looks the same. I'm excited to see the people that I grew up with again, considering its been about 3 years since I'd been here. In the grocery store, each aisle is littered with teenagers talking and messing around with each other, but there isn't a single kid I used to play with. I recognise some of the faces, being kids who live in my new town, but none of the ones who went to my old school. None are kids who I'd shared classrooms with. I realise it's been so long that I've forgotten the faces of everyone who made my childhood what it was. I go back to my dad whos in the self checkout and dejectedly tell him none of my old friends are here. We walk back through the rest of the shopping centre to the car park. I look around, the shopping centre is the same. The neighbourhood and the school and the people might've changed, but this mall is the same as it always was. The $2 store, the fish and chips shop, the spices store, it's all the same. And then I woke up. Also, tomorrow is my birthday
My dreams have been pretty fragmented lately so I don't have any full dreams but I thought I should share anyways. Teen Titans 10 I remember yesterday dreaming that I was Dick Grayson as Nightwing again. Jason Todd was killed so I agreed to team up with Batman again and return to the mantel of Robin and go back in time to save Jason. Star Wars Battlefront VR I put on my VR headset and am totally imersed in the Metaverse. There is a new Star Wars Battlefront game where you get to be different characters from the movies and I go on an adventure playing through the game. When you choose your character you walk up to these statues of the characters to choose. There are all sorts of characters to choose from both sides. I start out as a rebel and save Princess Leia. Then I am her and I am starting to help organize the rebelion. Then I switch to a Jedi in a bar. There is a place for target practice with blasters but three Sith women notice me use the force to pick up a blaster. Their leader has a bow and arrow and I duck under a table only to find someone else is already hiding there. The Sith come down to find me and I try shooting the blaster at them but the trigger is nearly impossible to pull. There was a lot more to this dream but it is so fragmented now from sleeping in. Almost WILD At about 11:45 AM my partner K starts moving around and I realize I am half awake and I feel that the arms of my dream body are in a differnt position than I left my real arms were when I left them last which is a sign I'm about to get a WILD. I can't maintain it because my K is moving around so my WILD fails. I get short bit of dream I am in a Runescape trying to sell some stuff on the Grand Exchange. I see people wearing adamantine armor before I wake up.
All the most interesting dreams from this week involved music in some way. These included: -Applying a temporary tattoo of the notation for the amen break to my face, apparently for some event I was going to attend. -Working on a piece of music. As the dream progresses, the different parts become associated with characters, and a story plays out among them. The characters all travel somewhere special, like the moon, a number of times. I think it ended with everything being absorbed back into the composition again. Unfortunately, I cant remember many of the details as I woke up to one of the cats getting ready to cough up a hairball and had to immediately turn on the lights and make sure she didnt do it on my bouzouki. -Programming a couple weather patterns on something that looked suspiciously like a groovebox. Im doing this at somebodys request, at the shop he owns. Theres a sense of the machine making the process much simpler than it would be otherwise, just a matter of pressing a few buttons. When Im done, I make a mental projection of the future to check that my proposed patterns wont screw up the weather in other places, and since everything looks OK, I confirm them. At some later point in the dream, I gain lucidity flying over a place thats a cross between a highway and a waterway, with cars going one way and ships going the other. I decide to go back to the scene from the earlier dream, and I speak with the man to find out if he has anything else I can do there. It strikes me as an interesting thing to do while focusing on maintaining lucidity. I woke up not long after, though, which wasnt surprising as it was actually getting rather late into the morning. 27.6.23-3.7.23
I got lucid after going back to sleep I kind of were subtle about realizing I'm asleep, carefully checked my hands, then just going on, I thought the dream is against me being lucid I went out then everything turned into nothing then I tried to stabilize because there was nothing infont of me really, just sludges of colour I thought then I guess I can try imagine a scene, then it kind of came to me now I was in a house, looking out of a window with no glasses a swamp formed in front of me, there was.... water was everywhere, calm water, and green trees and a blueish lightish fog not too thick, made me feel like I'm in a closed comforting space I heard some birds in the distance I just stood there and absorbed the landscape, just chilling, it was really nice
College Again (NLD) 07.02.2023 I am in the animation drawing class at my old college except instead of rows of computers there are normal desks with seats. The professor is MF and he says we have to design space craft for this assignment. I look in my portfolio for a blank piece of paper and pull one out. After I start drawing I realize there is already part of a drawing drawn in ink and it clashes with what I have drawn in pencil so I need to find a different paper without anything on it. This is when I start to question why I am back in college. After all, I already have my degree. This is a common dream sign but the dream logic keeps me from doing a reality check! Instead I walk up to MF and ask if I am on the list of students. He takes a look at his notes and says I am indeed enroled in the class. After the class is over I go to the information desk because this just doesn't seem right. I walk up to one of the people at the desk and ask if they can tell me if I am enrolled in clases. "You see, I often have dreams I am back in school and I just want to know if I'm enrolled." They make up excuses of how they don't have access to this information. "What is my current GPA?" I ask. "You have a 2.2 from missing so many classes." I was an honors student so this stresses me out and I still don't become lucid. I go outside and there is some sort of game where you walk around a square shape made of squares drawn on the pavement in chalk. I get hung up in playing this game where you walk around the squares and things happen depending on where you land. This part of the dream is fuzzy now and, of course, I don't become lucid.
Yesterday I made nap with WILD intention. As anchor I used history podcast about soviet BTR armored vechicle. I entered in to dream after 30 minutes of lying in bed and for first seconds it wasn't so obvious for me if i'm already in dream or not. I didn't experience hipnagogs nor paralyze. Ofc I felt a little bit different that usual but I would not call this hipnagogs. Anyway when this weird feeling stop then I opened my eyes. LD I woke up in my bed. Nothing special for first look so I just stand up and I made positive RC. "Nice" I thought, but what to do? My bad I didn't prepare any plan for LD so my ad-hoc idea was to explore my inner senses. I mean how I'm feeling my own body in dream. In first part I was changing my haircuts and I checked it in mirror every time. My face looked normal and I felt my new haircut like in real life as well. After few minutes I woke up but it was FA so I made another positive RC. In second part I was focused how I feel myself with new clothes. My wear was really nice in touching. Despite my experience was similar like in real life I really was enjoyed. Usually I feel pain in my LDs if my touch sense is working. In entire dream I was in hurry. I tried to do everything as fast as possible. In second part of my dream I told to myself It is pointless to be hurry because it is stressing me. I have no power to make my dream longer so if my dream will end thats okay. No more rush, only peace can help me
I met on online friend last night and went partying and clubbing with him and his friends, it was a wonderful evening and I had a great day, came home around 7 am and fell asleep almost immediately In my dream, I meet a random celebrity and get to join him on his "premiere tour" for the night, they go to random openings of locations and then sit at a table at the back of the venue for a while until the next one comes by. At some point they get the venue and tell me it's at the station called "pizza" I ask them if I should get on the underground on my way there but they telling me I should take the "Louvre tram" I then slowly wake up still tired, but rested enough to no longer sleep (hungover lol)
long sleep, vivid dreams, tons of day residue + walking through a theme park with JT (company 3) and family. I sort of suddenly find myself here in this location, and I look around and "recognize" it. Outdoors, daylight, there are vague buildings all around, and some walls dividing up the open area. I have to go poop I feel, so I leave the group and I go to the public bathroom. It is a fairly large, open indoor area. There are a lot of people there, men and women. There are no stall walls. The "toilets" are all out in the open in the middle of the room and are of a strange form, a little stand made up of a very small cup-like circular receptacle and very thin "wings" extending out to the sides of the cup that are the place you're supposed to "sit" on. I position my butt over the tiny cup area, not even planning to sit but to hover instead, and try to poop. It seems I'm constipated, it's hard to get anything to come out. After trying for a while I stand up and look down and see that I've managed to crap all over my pants which are down around my ankles. The "poop" is bright red which meat-like chunks like ground beef chili. I'm thinking OMG what am I going to do, take it off and wash it and then it'll be wet all day long? + walking on city sidewalk at night, I come to a Chinese restaurant/cafe with an older woman proprietor, selling the remains of the day's food just before closing. It looks good so I go in. I'm closely inspecting the food that is left, a few pieces of various different fried foods like shrimp are what I'm mostly looking at selecting. Another customer comes in and makes a move for some of what I'm looking at and I get offended and tell him to back off since I was here first. The woman sounds a "closing time" gong by banging on a ventilation pipe that makes a beautiful chiming sound that echoes through the neighborhood, and I say how lovely it sounds. + moving through fields that turns into a city, something to do with mafia running an illegal prescription drug ring. The fields are made up of tall golden grasses like wheat. In the city I'm approaching a tall building on a concrete path/sidewalk. + [super long, vivid, nightmare] I'm playing in a concert (I'm the featured first performer) and a piece of my instrument goes missing, ensues a long, emotional/angry search for the missing piece and who moved/took it, the concert begins without me, I meet with my parents in the audience and explain my problem, continue the search, turns out it was my son S2 who was working backstage and when I discover the missing piece in his pocket, I turn away from him in fury and resolve never to have dealings with him again
+ buffet, spaghetti, Ash from Kub, lasagne on buffet + see Suz Bntn with red hair standing there, looks like her, with her lesbian lover? Screws are falling out of my pocket and I'm picking them up (and putting them in a cup?) outside, daylight, a man walks by and starts helping me? + adventure with Sop Grv., swimming in river/ride fighting live alligators, wrestling with them, trying to get away, then we're preparing for an ocean drive, I ask "will we be using SCUBA?" Answer: yes. I say, "OK but this will be my first SCUBA dive," the dive master promptly removes a set of tanks (the one for me) from prep and says "nobody is taking this dive as their first SCUBA" I was nervous about breathing and safety procedures, which I didn't know at all + in a room in line waiting to (buy?) or pay for tickets at a theater, someone says "your first time here?" "yeah" "it will take a while", then a guy comes (with a few things to buy?) and cuts in line and I say "how rude for cutting in line, this is not allowed" and he retorts "it's not allowed to be using two chairs" (me and my friend), my friend stands up. We get to the front of the line and then we're asked to review the play, I make some bland generic statement like "it revleas the qualities of the universe", I notice a woman is writing down on a pad everything I'm saying, I say "so you're going to publish my silly review?" + in a grocery store, a young man has a cart full of "Splash" drinks, a sort of V-8 tomato vegetable drink, he's bought all of them up and I'm upset because I wanted some, too. I go farther in to the store and see a display and there are some left but in cans not bottles + outside some sort of monument, daylight, a historical building, there is a tour group there, I'm sitting inside a covered outdoor structure across the street from the tour group, something falls from the building and rolls to rest at a spot near the road (across from me), and another one, they are small concrete butresses of a female form, (I pick one up and examine it?) we decide to keep these as souvenirs? A man (the leader of our group) sees me sitting there across the street and comes for me saying "I told you not to go there!" I'm defiant and answer something like "Ive been here before and I'll go where I want." A girl in the group is handing out chips and my best friend MR takes a bag and in thanks leans in quickly for a kiss from the gril before she can react, she's embarassed but not angry. + I'm looking at my left inner wrist, there is a large red/purple blotch there, it seems I've been bitten or gotten poison oak or something, I'm concerned about it spreading to the rest of my body.
