Frags:

• I notice that this person doesn't use a monospace font, which is unusual, but it actually works. I take note of the font name, because I rather like it.
• I am being taught an important lesson. Someone gives me a list of four things, so I try to memorize it.

Commentary-
Last night began like my last couple nights have. I'd been having a good amount of dreams but my lack of mental focus was keeping me from becoming lucid. After another non-lucid dream (didn't remember much), I decided I just needed more focus in order to get a lucid dream. I decided to try a new mantra I came up with,"Stay relaxed, stay focused, wait for the dream to begin". Trying this mantra, I found it tough to go to sleep because now I was so focused I couldn't fall asleep. Trying to strike a better balance, I used that mantra and then tried to go to sleep with my usual technique. I tried to stay nice and still too hoping I might run into a wild. Let's see: staying still, mentally and physically relaxed, going to sleep, staying focused. I wonder what's going to happen next...

Lucid #4-
All of the sudden, my body started heavily vibrating. After a few seconds, the vibrating stopped and as I opened my eyes and found my vision was a bit more blury than usual, I knew I was dreaming. I got up out of my bed and went outside. I tried to transform myself into a seagull, one of things I earlier figured I would try to do next time I was lucid. I was about halfway successful I think. I did transform into a sort of bird but my feet weren't webbed all the way. I flew to a park down the road from my house. I don't completely remember what happened at the park but I know I transformed back to normal as I started to walk around. I wasn't sure what to do at this point. I noticed a girl playing by a large puddle and was tempted to push her in but thought the better of it. I thought about trying a backflip again but figured I would fail again. So, I picked some speed and jumped up to fly again to look around. As expected the surronding neighborhood was a lot more detailed than in lucid #2 as I was flying around the area where I lived. The entire area was more of a pinkish yellow than usual, probably because it was early morning. I was flying in the direction of a golf course where I have played often so I figured I would try golf again. I landed at San Ramon Golf Club on the 15th hole near the approach to the green. I landed and rubbed my hands thinking "I'm dreaming" to stabalize. I picked a spot about 150 yards from the green. I knew how far it was because the wooden yardage markers that used to be there returned. The ground was wet and spongy, probably from the evening sprinklers. I aligned myself to the target and tried to get a club to appear again. "Golf club now!" I shouted. Only this time, there was nothing. At this point I was a bit frustrated and a pit bull approached me. "What are you doing here! Go away!" I ordered. The pit bull bit my leg and wouldn't let go. A couple of seconds later a slightly futuristic looking female dream character, presumably the owner of the pit bull, started talking to me. I didn't remember what she said as most of my attention was on the pit bull biting me. As I started to lose focus, I looked around, probably for help, and noticed a futuristic male dream character, probably the pit bull owner's husbund and a groundskeeper with a leaf blower as my dream ended.

Commentary-
I didn't think I could WILD but obviously I can! I'm still going to focus on MILDing but it's nice to know I now have a backup method in case it doesn't work. Maybe this WILD success will inspire my to try DEILD once again as my tv habit is really starting to go away for good. In my next lucid dream, I'll try spinning to try to change my enviornment at will. I've been trying dream incubation the last couple of nights but no luck so far. I really need to work on my dream control but that will come with practice I assume.

Pretty short clip I remember: The scene starts on the top floor of my gram's old house. A younger cousin is grabbing some pot he'd hid. He goes downstairs and I'm the only one on the floor. The whole extended family is downstairs so there must be a party going on. Maybe it's the 4th or Christmas. So I start going through my stuff I haven't unpacked yet trying to find something when I hear a different cousin, same age, come upstairs complaining. Then he's basically whining and sort of crying and he gets louder. He's loud enough for the whole house to hear him but when he gets closer to my room I want to hide so he's not embarrassed I can hear him and stuff because he's really despairing at this point. I can't remember what he was so upset about, but he was asking why something was a certain way at one point. And I can't remember any more

I was with TD and we were talking about stuff that I remembered when I first woke up in the middle of the night (1:34). It was something really funny, and we were really happy and even kissing some. Then we realized that we weren't alone and it seemed even funnier. Philip and Mandy and Ben were there. TD and I were joking around with Mandy and Ben about teenagers. (It all made sense and was very clever in the dream, even though it sounds kind of lame now).

In the last dream of the night I was in this big house. I know my mom was there part of the time. It seemed like a lot was going on even though I have forgotten now what it was. I do remember at the end I was having trouble with my TV or computer. I needed some help fixing it. I looked and saw TD sitting at a desk behind me. I asked if he would help fix it. He said he would, but wanted me to look at this stack of papers he had in front of him. I then noticed a baby on the floor by the chair. I knew the baby belonged to neither of us, but I recognized it as a baby I had seen before but not for a while. The baby was about 6 months old and big and bald and completely adorable.

I don't really recall anything, and frankly, it doesn't matter, it's not as if I need it to learn how to breath and use common sense anyway.

Watched episodes 11-26 of Trigun last night.....best time wasted so far, excluding watching a lot of Cowboy Bebop episodes in one sitting before.

I always come to the conclusion that my mind is just too sporadic to have a calm and decent fantasy.

FYI. the mole is a bit latter. Ok when the dream started i was in a military base and im being chased by people i run around corners until i lose them i go into a room and there's a girl from my old school i thought she cant be here then i go semi lucid.
(cant seem to go full lucid ever!). well in my dreams im a little of a perv and i pull off her pants there are no panties and i start touching her pussy. i start to feel something and the dream shifts im in the same room but she is gone, then a soldier comes out of a vent and one jumps through a window and some how i fight them off im not strong and the details get VERY hazy during the fight, well i go and run to an exit where there is a man i know somehow and for some reason he is creating a path on the floor out of sandals like 6 or so, sandals wide and for some reason i start to help him and i get close to done he walks out of a door and leaves, well i fall through the floor and im in a cave network in my mind i go HELL NO! and im at my moms house but the caves followed me and there where random holes around the house and a giant mole was grabbing people so i start to pack my stuff trying to decide what to keep and what to leave i grab my comp and some books and then the mole grabs me (i swear i could feel it) well it grabed me and started to bring me down the hole but it sees someone else and goes after them with me in its mouth (if you could call squiggly things a mouth) it puts me on the floor and puts a foot on my back (felt that too) and i said aloud in my dream ok im done with this and i woke up.

i drempt that i was just finishing working the job with some extra kids who i wasnt exactly sure actually had worked. uhm any way then i went to this party and i didnt realy know any body there and i was kinda moven around akwardly. it was kinda like a school to in the first two rooms of the house there was like a classroom and i commented "i love rooms with measuring bars and : and later i walked to to the backroom where some dudes were watching porn. i saw naked girls and al lthese guys in the pool, hayley was in the pool so i thought and i just kinda ignored her like i didnt care, but i really did and was upset and afraid she was hooking up with those guys in the pool (sense all theo other girls were hooken up with guys)

eventually i was back at my house and concerned about some sort of Robberybut kinda jus left the house

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Went to sleep about 11.30 doing Nayia's MILD technique and woke up about 4. I know I dreamt something but could not remember a thing. After toilet break and water I went back to sleep doing again the dream visualization and saying to myself 'I'm dreamig'.

I woke up next about 6 or something (couldn't see the time but outside just about started to be a bit lighter). This is the snippet I remembered.

I was with my mom (dream signal that sadly I overlooked) and she told me that my granddad died (he's still alive) and he left me a pet, but I can't keep it. We were actually going to the house where the pet was to see it. So we got there and a guy with a little beard gave me the pet. It was a small animal (on two legs I think) looking more like a toy and nothing furry. Its smile was thin and wide like one of those gremlins in the movie. I really liked it, it was in my lap and was making funny things, was very active, really cute. I was so hoping I could take it home as I was thinking that it doesn't even need to be fed. But then I saw a paper, a guide of some kind that talked about feeding it. I think I saw a picture of carrots in there.

The guy told us that granddad gave him the pet a long time ago but then they had a falling out and he changed his will leaving me the pet instead. Recently things became good again between them, but who would pay the huge amount of 3-4k Euros (or dollars?) just to change the will again as it was too expensive to do it. So that's how I ended up with the pet.

He was just taking care of it until I came to take it. He was quite sad though. In the end I decided to leave him the pet and I told him he can keep it.

While writing down this dream snippet in my dream journal next to the bed, I remembered just a very tiny bit of another one, it was more of a flash than a well formed dream. As usual, again, it was about chocolate (safe to say it's a dream sign as well by now).

A woman told us (I think I was with dad) that she'll make a cake to drink with the coffee. I asked if it is with chocolate, but she said n, it's with fruits. I don't much like fruit cake, but said ok anyway. End of dream-whiff.

These dreams started out in a huge grass field. The field was surrounded by trees and hills, and my brother Jeremy and I came across a cabin. The strange thing about this cabin though, was it was about fifteen feet above the ground suspended on ropes from the tree on above it. We looked around it for a while and designated it as our new hangout spot.
The next scene was very, very interesting. There was a game going on that I was in, and everyone in this game was given a distinct set of abilities. It was in a team deathmatch setting. Players were eliminated if they were thrown down. What made it interesting... was all of the players were jumping from statue to statue, and the statues were coming out of a bed of molten lava. It was like lava tag, in a more literal sense. The statues were interesting, a bunch of different random objects and shapes, but I remember one in particular was a large stone embodyment of a 'long-neck' dinosaur. My personal ability was to morph my body into the body of a large snake. That made it easy for me to perch my self on objects and snag my opponents jumping by with my long body. One of the people on the enemy team though was very, very skilled. Overpowering, I'd say. It was her against my friend Bob, myself and some random person on our team, and we were trying to group up against her. I was wrapped around one of the stones and I needed to make a large leap across the pit to group with my mates, but it seemed too risky. Instead of making the jump I extended my long body across half way while Bob was extending his hand, so I wrapped around his wrist and then onto the stone he was hanging from.
The scene changed but the game continued. The setting was a beach now. Not on the sand, but there was a manmade cement area built off the coast. On the cement my team had stairs leading up to a pedistal in which the other team couldn't step foot on. If they stepped onto it, they instantly lost. The enemy girl was still there, and my brother Jeremy and I were standing in the circle. I managed to steal one of these canisters that were the base of her abilities. The canisters sprayed a cloud of toxins into the air that knocked out whoever breathed it. I sprayed it once but it didn't work, Jeremy pointed out the wind was facing the wrong direction. So I ran around and released it into the air in the right angle but got both her and myself with it, ending the game but making me super dizzy. Jeremy wanted to go off and do something but I couldn't even stand up for a minute or two. We decided to let the girl from the other team hang out with us for a while, she had nothing better to do. We walked awhile and the dream scene changed again, we were back to that field and we went up inside of the cabin to show our new friend around. After getting up and taking a look around we all jumped back down and I was struggling to put the door back in it's place before we left. The door was also held to the house on a long rope, not on hinges. So the way to close the door was to set it exactly in the phrame of the door. I finally managed to get it well in, and began to walk off- when I heard wood crack and knew the door had fallen out of it's phrame. I jumped out of it's way and knocked our new friend out of the way as well. Right as I looked backwards, the door swung just a foot away from my face. "Phew! that was scary as shit." I said.
At this point I'm not sure where he went, but I realized Jeremy wasn't there anymore. We decided to go find him, I think the dream hinted to me that he told me where he was going, so we set off walking.
On the way to find him, we stopped by the girl's dad's house. He lived in a small house in the forest surrounding our grass fields. He was a really nice guy, clean cut and polite- but also looked like he knew his way around the outdoors.
We also made another stop at my wife's aunt Nadine's house because I had to use the restroom. That restroom scene was so very uncomfortable, because the restroom was so small. And for some reason, they had a rigid shelf full of tiny relics that were filled with liquids, and no matter how careful I tried to move around the bathroom, even a small step would wobble the shelf and cause things to get knocked over. I spent a lot of the time in that place trying to re-arrange the little items on this shelf.
Finally, it was night time, and I realized how long it had been since I last saw Jeremy. I began to suspect that something was strange. It hit me pretty fast, but I looked around and thought about what was going on throughout the day- and realized this was all just a dream. I looked at my new friend and became a bit sad. It was unfortunet that our new friend wasn't real to be honest. I said "This is strange to say, but I just realized something. I'm dreaming, that means that you aren't real. And looking around for Jeremy now is pointless, this is in my head."
She gave me a look for a moment, analyzing what I said. "Are you sure?... I think I understand what you're saying, but I feel real." she said. This was also depressing in the moment, I said Yes I'm sure, I'm so sorry, you're not real. The meloncoly of the moment projected itself in her character, she became sad and told me that she understands, she would just leave and let me get on with my business. I flew up in the sky, and spotted the father's house that I visited earlier. I still knew it was a dream, but I decided to be kind to... my mind, I guess. I flew her back to her dads house, and was about to begin practicing my lucid control, but my dream ended.

The next dream scene I had was very short. It was night time, and I was walking across the street, up to an open mini-mart. At that moment, I had a weird feeling of deja-vu- but as if I had a dream about this very moment. That small thought distracted me from the possibility that, this itself was the dream.

The last dream I had was about my sister Rose and I going to get donuts. We drove into a parking lot on the way to get donuts, because for some reason the car couldn't be taken in the donut stores lot. I got out and began walking to the store, it was about a block away or so. As I began to cross the street, I noticed that my vision was so terribly blurry. It looked like I was half knocked out or something, a large portion of my vision was blackened. But I could make out a little bit, enough to have good reason to believe that I wouldn't be ran over if I crossed at a certain moment. I J-walked succesfully acrossed the road and over the center devider. My vision and balance was just as bad once I was on the sidewalk on the other side. I felt my glasses hanging from my shirt, so I put them on. It helped a bit, but there was still black areas in my vision. I never ended up getting to any donut shop, but the scene changed to a park setting.
I was sitting on the ground with one of my old girlfriends, but in a different light I guess. Her character was just some friend on decent terms. This didn't take me long to figure out. She said something about her shoes, and I looked at them and thought to myself... this is a dream.
"The hell are you doing in my dream?" I said, with no point in the question I guess.
"What are you mad about? We're just friends." she replied.
"No we're not, fuck you." I said, and walked away. lol.
It sounds like I was being harsh, but I wasn't. Trust me. My alarm went off then and I got up for work.

I moved to another apartment. My sister was already living there. I chose to live there because I had got a job and had to prepare for it. There were some problems (I was still registered as living by my parents) but we could solve them later.
Somehow I was in a swimming pool, but I didn't really do anything exiting there.
Then I had to study at home. The next day someone from the government came to the apartment, so I had to leave it for some hours. After he was gone I returned, then I could register myself as living in this apartment.
Suddendly I was in the swimming pool again, but this time I wasn't bored. A girl from school(which I believe could be my DG) taught me how to lay on water. I wasn't really good at it, but I leared how to do it.

I found myself in my old 6th grade classroom. My wood shop teacher instead of the real teacher was there. The students in the class were all lined up to do some activity on the board. I suddenly wanted to do a reality check, but i couldn't get a good look at my fingers so instead i looked up at the board. a slip of paper was attached to the board with the word "we" on it. I looked away and looked back and instead it said "toon". I knew i was dreaming and imminently ran out of the classroom and tried to fly, with no success.

I was at a school carnival with my lunch group but without AA.

I was at the mall, walking through random stores.

I was in a room with 10-20 people. AA told me to look back, I saw something blue coming through the hallway. AA, JP and A locked arms with me and we stood there. The blue was actually a wave of water, it flushed our side of the room and backed out. It happen a few more times. Something red was coming through this time. This time, it was just AA and I in the room. We realized it's lava. She jumped up the bed and tried to help me up. The bed was higher than usual and I lost all my strength out of fear. I finally got on the bed and scooted back as far as possible. The room was glowing red from the lava. I worried that the lava would rise higher and higher but it didn't. Something happen and it turned to water. I got off the bed and out the hallway. I got to this dungeon like room, it was kind of dark. There was a section in the room with 2 doors. The one on the right have 2 holes and the left have 1. I pressed a button on the right and I got 2 keys, they sparkling like fairy dust and really light. I forgot what the right side button gave me. I fitted the keys and the other object in to holes. The doors opened and started playing a song each. It was a slow and high key melody, it was terrifying. I quickly closed the doors and walked back. I forgot what happen next but it made me tell myself that it's a dream and to wake up.

11PM-10AM

Date: September 19th, 2012
Lucid: No?
Location: A river, a town in the past (1981), a subway system?
Tone: Scary, fun, entertaining

The River

Going as far back as I can remember into this dream, I recall sitting in a small clear-water river two other people. There is a raft behind us, made of logs tied together. The river has clear water, and lots of brush on the skirts of it, meaning there is no beach around most of it. The river is in the shape of a “T”, with us being situated at the bottom part of the “T”. To the north of us, there is a small beach with a few stereotypical looking tipi huts. To the west, the river extends into a bend, and to the east, the river continues a bit further. A woman sits on the beach, staring longingly out into the river. Suddenly tons of tiny little arrows start being shot at in our general location. We swim back a little bit towards the raft, but do not go under it. One of the small arrows hits one of the people I'm with in the head. It does not kill, or even seriously injure her. Even so, we make the assumption that these arrows in large doses are deadly.

I decide to get under the raft, and swim my way (using the raft as coverage) to the beach. The others think this is a bad idea, but I do it anyway. The river opens up and is much wider in the upper beach section. There is no current moving me at all, in any part of the river. I arrive to the woman on the beach, and my memory is foggy at this point, but I recall swapping out the raft for a blowup horse that I use as cover. I switch back to the raft at some point, and I recall the woman being upset that she isn't able to leave the beach. At this point, I assume that the arrows are other “tribesmen” or something sitting in the brush beyond my sight, protecting her. Set around the brush by the river near the beach, there are giant traps. They are giant planks with nails and spikes in them, that swing down into the water if you trip them. The raft does trip one of the traps, and I am not harmed, but this is how I see them in action.

I use my raft to swim over to the east side of the “T” river, and find myself at land. However, it is simply a set of three doors in a very small tunnel. One is to my left, one is to my right, and the other straight ahead. I remember the door to the left being orange. On the door, there things written (like how most doors have “Emergency Stair Case” or “First Floor”), but are in another language. I recall it reading something like “Dans Alfred”. From the other two doors, I can hear that they are like large staircases (like the kinds you find in hotel). The echo of the staircase makes me able to hear people. I can hear them running up the stairs, so I open the door in front of me, and run down.

The Diner

As I run down the stairs, there are a set of men with guns and in uniform (similar looking to the police, but more military) facing down the stairs (opposite of my direction). There is a gap where there seems to be two men missing from the unit. I jump through the gap and when the rest of the unit take notice, I yell “Alred is the other way!”. This is the only thing I remember repeating. I'm very keen on making sure they know I'm not “Alfred”, whomever he is.

I open the door on the other end of the short staircase, and find myself in a diner. I recall a slight flight/tussle with someone here, but I do not remember the specifics. I walk towards the entrance of the diner (which is shaped more like a coffee shop), and find people sitting at a table there. I recognize them in my dream, but I do not remember who they are now. After sitting there, my father walks up. He is holding a stack of newspapers that are taped to his chest with pink duct tape. For some reason, I believe that they are hiding a piece of bulletproof material, in case someone wants to shoot him. We speak, I do not remember of what, and he gives me one of the newspapers in his large stack. I look down, and it seems to be a catalog of sorts. Everything is super expensive in the catalog.

The Town/Convenient Store

I walk across the street, and judging from the cars and atmosphere, I have deducted that I am in the past. It feels like late 60's, but I come to later find out the year is 1981. I walk into a store that has a layout of a general store. The shelves are stocked with random items. Inside, there is also a man selling tattoo stuff. I decide that I need some lotion for my fresh tattoo (which in real life, I do not have any recent tattoos that would need this), and ask for assistance. One of the cashier clerks walks me to the back section of this small general store (there is only three or four isles), and I find a bunch of specialty tattoo lotion. There are all sleekly designed. It's sort of the setup you would see at a high-end fashion salon or hair stylist. He suggests two types of lotion to me, both orange in color. He says that most people don't like one of the things he has suggested, but he finds it “amazing.” I set down the forementioned item and explore the store a bit. Lotion in hand, I find the store stocked with various items, such as perishable food, toys, etc. It's like a convenient store for everything. On the side closet to the front of the store, there are old video arcade games (old time-wise, not in condition or look), that are available to play. There is a man at the front of the store, who asks me what kind of candy I would like. As I tell him my choices out of the selection, he begins filling up different cups with different candy combinations and then hands them to me. I didn't ask for them, he just gave them to me. I walk to the counter to ring out my purchase (which is now lotion and some candy), and there is two long lines. I get in the left line, where the checkout counter is set up like a spare table, with an old man sitting down. There is a small boy and an older man in front of me. They are taking forever ringing out. The old man clerk tries to entertain the boy by showing him that he is on surveillance camera. The clerk points an old camcorder at him, which then immediately shows the young boy on the closed circuit television. I laugh for a while with them.

Note: I'm not sure if I was lucid at this point, but you'll understand why I'm confused soon.

I then slam down my hands on the counter and tell everyone to hurry up. I'm not truly mad, just feigning it. I then smile at everyone, and set my candy and lotion down on a nearby counter, and then focus myself, and spin in a circle a few times. I'm doing this in my dream to regain focus. I do not remember being lucid here. Perhaps I was lucid for a short period of time and do not recall it, or somehow the idea of spinning to gain clarity in a lucid dream has found its way into a non-lucid dream. Either way, I pay for my things. The man asks me tons of questions about my age, birth year, car, etc. He is filling out things on a form. Realizing that I am in the past, but truly from the future, I have to do some quick math to figure out what my fake birthdate and car stuff should be.

It is at this point in which I figure that I'm 18 years old (I'm actually 21 in waking life), and that the year is 1981. I give him my information, he gives me a keychain of some sort, and I walk out. I consider stealing a reese's bar on the way out, but don't.

The Train/Bus

Everything from the past section to now is a bit fuzzy, and I do not remember getting here. The next thing I remember is sitting in a car with my friend (we are still in the past), when my friend gets out to get into an argument with a man in a large bus. It is now night time, and I step out to hear their argument. The bus is large, and my friend is on the other side arguing with the driver. I crawl under the bus (which is very highly suspended, might I add), and start pulling switches and levers. The lights start flickering in the bus, and other things start going wrong with it. The argument ends with my friend and the driver, and as I drive away, I see all the passengers of the bus looking very frightened out the window at me.

The Rest

Everything else after that is fuzzy. I remember being in a subway like tunnel, and meeting up with my friend. The “bus” that I had early messed with turned out to be a train that I had crashed. I have no clue how this happened, but I take my friend's word for it. My friend Jeff and I stand on a balcony, throwing panties (yes, panties) off the balcony towards this small hole in the ground. The panties stack in the hole, making a sort of netting around it. In the distance, there are horses feeding and frolicking about. The horses seem drawn to the large stack/net of panties, and surround the hole. They all fall into the hole, which sucks them down and out of sight, like the hole is on the ceiling of a giant cave.

This is all I can remember

Retrospective

The only thing that really interested me (besides the idea of being in the past in a dream, which I've never done) was the fact that I cannot remember if I was lucid or not. If I wasn't lucid, I'm even more interested in why I was doing clarity stabilizers in a normal dream. Oh well.

Okay.
I whined about dry spells yesterday, then I had another brief lucid.
The differences is that I didn't wake up right away and I already knew I was in a dream before I fully went lucid.
The same is that I forgot to stabilize, goddamnit.

I was on the Cave Story Tribute forum. I receive a message from one of the members saying that my signature is against the rule. For some reasons my signature have a Futurama picture. Have I mentioned that I am sitting in the room that I physically sleep while I had the dream? The only difference is that it is now on the middle of a city.

Then my computer acted up, but I managed to close it down. I noticed the light was on for the first time. Then I saw my reflections on the screen and realized that the clothes didn't match up (I wore a Hawaiian shirt), so I became partially lucid. My roommate woke up, which meant a DC added to the equation. He asked me something and I intentionally allowed myself to say something very idiotic, which satisfied him and he went back to sleep. I realized I can't actually speak, and I tried to utter something until I could. Then I did the nose plug and it seemed weird, but I don't really know. I walked out the dorm and counted my fingers, and found out my left hand has extra fingers.

There was another door in front of me, and when I opened it it lead to the outside. There are roads on the left and a power plant in front of me. I jumped down from the fire escape stairway I was standing on. I tried to jump over the fence but it was too tall. Then I tried to find a way around it but I woke up first. Then it dawned on me I forgot to stabilize. Argh.

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1:

I am playing in a basketball tournament in someone's house. My boss, my mom, and my dad are in the kitchen watching us play 5 on 5 in the living room. There are strange rules that we are debating. At the end of the game each player takes 3 3-pointers, then another, then a dunk. I got mad rebounds.

Dream 2:

I am at my brother's huge house playing poker. My brother announces that he is going to have a $200k one-year anniversary in Anaheim. He is sending out invitations that state that everyone will be picked up in fancy cars. My wife is sitting next to me and my friend CS is across the room. NG is also there. I notice little flowers that look like colorful christmas trees which I identify as strawberries. We eat some. I win a huge hand (a couple thousand dollars) with most of the chips coming from CS. My winning hand is a straight flush, 4-8 of spades. She is really pissed about it because she was positive she had a winning hand. I believe she has a full house. My wife is a real bitch when she announces my hand to everyone - directed at CS. She slowly reads off my hand one card at a time. After this hand I realize that I am almost late for a meeting with my boss's boss CR.

After realizing this I find myself on the campus where I work. The grounds are covered with swimming pools filled with toys, slides and small children. For some reason I am completely naked in the pool. I am very embarrassed and do my best to cover myself up because the children's parents are watching them. I manage to get out of the pool and find out that there is a flea market going on as well. I find a booth selling jeans and find my perfect size. I steal them and put them on without drying off.

I head over to building 15 wearing only wet jeans and get into a MASSIVE elevator - as big as a house. There are many pairs of shoes on display in the elevator but they don't fit me. I am having difficulty finding CR's office, which I believe is the 12th floor, 17th wing, room 12. The floor I am on reminds me of the airport in Cancun Mexico.

I wake up and try to visualize the dream scene because I want to continue.

I arrive at my meeting with CR about 40 minutes late. My other two co-workers are there and I kinda just slip into the conversation. I answer two questions confidently about how well we all work together then the meeting is over. When the others leave I plead to CR to give me 5 more minutes to meet with him. He hesitates. I say 2 minutes and we sit back down. I say to him "I feel like I owe you an explanation. I have had a very rough day. I was with my brother and niece helping" with something and she got very sick. I stayed to help out and make everything OK. CR doesn't believe me. I try to make my case more believable by saying that the doc said its one of those 1-2 day illnesses called (I can't think of something to say). I am doing a horrible acting job and I can't come up with something to say. Finally he says a name and I say I don't think that's it. Somehow this makes him believe me and we start having a normal conversation. He loves me now and we go out onto the train (which inexplicably is operating on my work campus).

I explain to CR that it is fun to jump around on the train and railings around the buildings. Before I can even finish my sentence he is off jumping around and I follow. I get a text message from CS saying something like "we don't like each other anymore" and "my excuse was always the wedding so what now?" She is really upset with me after the whole poker incident. CR and I are jumping all over the buildings and railings now. I receive a message that my wife is with my parents at a 7-11 store (which also has sit down dining) and I have to take her home.

I jump onto another moving train that my brother and my dad are on - they are most likely heading to the 7-11 as well. My brother is really impressed with my jump. My dad is next to me freezing with the heater on and a blanket. I am hot so I put the AC on me and the guy next to me thanks me. The plan is to take my wife home and then go talk to CS.

I get to 7-11 and my wife is completely wasted with my friend WW, my mom and some other friends. My wife and WW are extremely fat. We get outside of the store and there is a huge parking lot on a steep slope. My wife starts dancing and slips. She rolls down an asphalt hill at incredibly high speed. I run after her and finally catch up to her as she slams into a curb. I carry her to my dad's truck like a baby. On the way I realize that a bunch of people filmed her rolling down the hill and were going to post it on you tube. I ask my wife if I should make them erase it. (I don't remember the reply). My dad gets mad at me for carrying my wife like a baby but she says that she is comfortable. I get her into the back of the truck then I wake up.
