Darren's car
My dad and I were in a shop. I could see through a glass wall into the next door shop. I saw Darren there, sitting at a table. I recall my dad was sitting across from me (against the glass), and he was saying something to me, but I kept getting distracted, looking over at Darren, and just saying things like, "Oh yeah?" really distractedly to him

We all left at the same time (including Darren). My dad and I were coming down the right of way lane, and he mashed the breaks because Darren nearly cut us off. My dad comments, "Just cos he's rich, doesn't mean he owns the road!" And my dad keeps inching along, trying to force Darren's car back... but Darren isn't giving up either!

Me, I'm just worried about the paint job on both cars. Our two cars were an inch away from scraping each other. I stuck my hand out in between the cars so they wouldn't scrape. I gave Darren a reproachful look, and he smiled at me

Later on, I found his fan page on facebook. I dashed off a quick message saying, something like, "Hey, I'm the girl from the car, earlier."

Darren contacted me. "Thanks for worrying about the paint job, but you really shouldn't have used your hand... you could have crushed it, and then I'd have been really upset!"

Danny Fragment, 1
Danny (my DG) and I were sitting on the porch of his house in my inner world. It was sunset and we had our guitars out with us. "I wish you would practice the guitar more, in waking life," Danny said.

Danny Fragment, 2
Danny, Darren and I were in this volcano-like cave. There were explosions and lava happening around us, and we were trying to get out. Darren was the one holding my hand.

Shed break-in
Had this dream in the first cycle of the night! These ones always impress me, for some reason. They're usually quite vivid for first-cycle dreams.

It's night time, and I was at work, monitoring the cameras. I had one camera feeding from a lot that was across the street from my building. I see these two guys in there try to attack this maintenance shed in the middle of the lot (DS = Watching people commit crimes). There are some expensive tools in there. They only attacked the shed door once though, so I guessed they weren't really serious about breaking into it, so I thought I would call the police non-emergency line to get them removed. However one of the tenants in the building distracted me from completing this task (I can't remember how).

Back to watching the cameras, for some reason, I couldn't get them to move, now, so I could get better views (DS = technology not working properly). I saw this orange glow coming from off to the side and I saw flashing lights. I wondered if there was a fire next door? I stepped outside to the sidewalk and noticed that it was just a very bright street light. One of my co-workers decides to go outside and patrol the parking lot, since we can't get the cameras moving, now.

I went back inside to fiddle with the cameras. I still could not get them to work, and I suddenly thought my co-worker has been outside for a really long time. I went outside to survey the lot. I got this bird's eye view, and saw those two guys from before, still there, and then I saw my guard lying on the ground, struggling to get back up. I watched, horrified, as one of the criminals stomped on my co-workers' chest and kicked him.

I shouted at them, and they saw me. "Oh, shit!" one guy said, once he realized they were being watched. I realized they saw me. They took off after me as I ran across the street, back to my building. I got inside the door just in time to put it between us, but I wasn't sure if I would be successful in locking it. Didn't matter, because the slamming shut of the door is what startled me out of my sleep.

Elise's house
I'm visiting with my friend, Elise. She has this awesome house in the middle of the woods. Most of the dream is just me hanging out there and nothing really happening. The house had large, tinted windows, and a glass door, also tinted. Inside, was all white walled and white furniture. It was, as I said, very awesome.

I remember leaving at some point and talking with Elise again later on. She mentioned this scary thing happened after I'd left. This bear came up to the front door and tried to attack her house.

School dance
I was sitting in school behind this guy I really liked. We were chatting about the dance coming up.

[Finding shoes]
I was at this store, trying to find shoes to go with my dress. i happened to be in my dress, at the time, and this was right before the dance. My dress was a light blue colour with a white filmy over-lay thingy.

Hillary and Norma
I was downtown, getting some food for lunch. i wanted to stop into this buffet place called Marcello's where I used to go when I worked for them.

I ran into Hillary and Norma (my former employers for the company I got really depressed while working at) on my way there, and they asked me how I was. i said was receptioning again, but it was for a radio station, so I was really happy.

In the shop
I was in the shop, and the cashier was lecturing me on eating good food. He asked me to guess his age and birth date. I observed his face and noticed very few lines, so I guessed he was 32. I was wrong, he was 39.

For the date, I blanked my mind and March 2nd screamed in my head. I asked him if I was right, and he was surprised and dismayed - I was right.

In hindsight, I wonder why my brain was obsessed with the number 32? I got his age wrong, but March 2nd is also 3/2...

August 4, 2010
Short entry today, running on 5 hours of sleep.

The set-up
I wasn't myself, but I was watching this first person. My mother had been killed. I'd heard that there was a plot to kick the ass of the suspected guy who did it, as he was still roaming free. I had my doubts it was him though. I remembered reading something, somewhere, that had cast this suspicion on my mind.

I'm standing at a fence and talking with my IWL mother (though she wasn't my mum in the dream, obviously). It's night time. She told me that the plot was to lure the guy to this site, next door. He was a security guard and his "company" had promised him $18.50/h to take on this new site, which is pretty top wage for a guard. He was all super excited about it.

He finally appears in my dream. He's dancing and singing on the other side of the fence. He keeps coming a little too close to me and it's freaking me out. Doesn't he have any idea who I am? He's suspected of killing my mother!! My WL-mum was disgusted with his behaviour.

Then, I saw people arrive. A good 10 of them. At first, they all started lining up at the fence (on his side, not ours). I saw a girl and recognized her as Nita, from my radio course. We did the old handshake my brother and I used to do (it's nothing elaborate. It's like a hand grasp, slide, finger grasp, fist bump). She tried to give me this, "Don't worry, he deserves this," look. I still had my doubts.

They started dragging him off into the building. "What the hell?" the guy started to say. They took him inside, and I could hear him shouting and I could hear them kicking and beating him. It was really awful to listen to "What if he IS innocent?" I kept thinking. "What if he's enduring this for nothing?"

"Mum, do you really think that this guy did it?" I asked.

"Yep, I absolutely do," my mum said. There wasn't a doubt in her mind he's getting his comeuppance, but it didn't make me feel any better about it.

I've acquired a new lucidity scale, so I can stop using misnomers like "semi-lucid." This scale is based on one developed by Ed Kelog.

Here it is

1/5 I realize that I dream, but continue to follow the dream "script"; no conscious choice.

2/5 I still follow the dream script (knowing that I dream), but I can make minor choices in keeping with dream reality. (This is where I know I'm dreaming, but I still have a plot to follow, and that's keeping me from really thinking things through and making my own conscious decisions as to what I want to do. I may transform into a dragon in order to kill puny fools blocking my path though, for example.)

3/5 I have the choice of following the dream script or not, can make major choices based on awareness of my potentialities in the dream state e.g. might choose to try a dream experiment instead of continuing the dream scenario, etc.

4/5 I'm fully aware that I dream and of the location and state of my physical body; also remember most knowledge from waking life, at least as it relates to goals that I had set for my lucid dreams.

5/5 I'm aware of myself as an integrated whole, at least on level with how I would be during a waking focus. Thinking, feeling, creating aspects of self are working as a unified whole. Extraordinary (even for dream reality) abilities and experiences often manifest.

Bravo? - Lucid - 1/5
Walked around telling dream characters how lucid I am and I'm dreaming right now... Yep. I remember holding a "My Magic Diary" that I was chatting to Naiya about last night. It, apparently, was my proof of lucidity.



Woke up at 5am for my WILD. Failed, because I was so tired I passed out.

The half-way house (work dream)
I had to do a shift at an old site of mine (a halfway house).

I got on site and forgot to check in with the staff. I went into "my room" and started watching TV. A couple of the clients were in there with me.

I needed to change into pajamas for some reason. I took my pants off and realized the guys were still in the room. I didn't move further, they got bored of me and left.

I decided to do a patrol and I realized I haven't checked in yet! I looked at my watch. 9:37 at night. Here's where it's confusing. Earlier, I thought my shift was supposed to be 6p-6a, but at this point, I thought it was 10-6. So I wasn't actually late. Anyways, I went down to the staff room and the girl was on the phone. I apologized for forgetting to check in, I just wanted to jump right into my work. She mentioned she was worried I hadn't shown and she was just trying to find shift coverage, but it's all cool.

Back to bed...

Haunted or scientific?
I was in a room in an old house. It wasn't any house of ours and I knew that, but I was impressed that the layout of the furniture was the same as an old room of mine.

I thought the room was haunted. I had this stuffed animal in hand and there was this weird air current over the bed. It was hard finding the balance, but I got the stuffed animal to hover on its own in mid-air. I left the room to get mum and brought her back to show her.

We got back in the room, and the stuffed animal had fallen over. I was disappointed but I attempted to set the animal back up. My mum explained the air current was coming from somewhere and that it wasn't haunted.

Got woke up by Jack's alarm...

FF7 like adventure
There was a DC boyfriend (we'll call him Colton). This theme carried throughout the dream. Just lots of kissy-face and flirting when we were in scenes together. But I can't remember tons of specifics about them.

A group needed to go into the depths of the earth to defeat the last boss (think FF7 where you keep having to travel downwards into the earth to fight Sephiroth). This group included Colton, but not me for some reason.

There was this big hole with light shining up in the middle of a room. They jumped down the hole, and I got to work on some scrolls at a table in the room. I wrote an incantation on the paper. Then I placed my hands on it and imbued it with light energy. I made up about 10 of them when the party jumped back up the hole. I imagined that someone in the party could toss the scroll in the air and they would be showered with golden healing light as the scroll dissolved.

The party emerged from the hole, looking defeated. One of the girls was nearly in tears, because this boss was very difficult.

"Hey, we're gonna need some scrolls," Colton says.

"Got them all ready for you!" I grinned.

August 2, 2010
Bambi the bunny
I was trying to clean our rabbit's cage, but I was having a lot of difficulties with this task. Every time I took the top off the cage, Bambi would escape! She's a bit of a terror around the house, IWL (I call her "Destructor" as her nickname).

Anyways, that's all this dream was about. Having issues with trying to keep the bunny from running around the house...

No WBTB attempts made today. Woke up at 2am, and found the BF was still awake and watching TV on my couch I didn't want him to know I'd woken up and he apparently didn't hear my alarm go off, so... I just rolled over and fell back to sleep

Random stuff - same dream
I was at a gym, working out. I was talking about something that was supposed to be impossible (I can't recall what, though).

I went outside and I saw this mini car (smaller than a smart car) get pulled into the back of a freight truck, via rope. The truck took off and the back wasn't closed, so the mini-car came tumbling out the back! I could see through the windshield that someone was inside the car! I could tell by the look on his face that this was an intentional stunt. However, he started puffing his cheeks out like he was going to vomit . This made me feel queasy, so I turned away.

I felt something very softly putting pressure on my back. I suddenly realized I was laying down on the ground, and that "pressure" was a car that had stopped (that nearly ran me over). I got up and assured the driver that I was already lying down, they didn't hit me.

I went inside this apartment building that had a spreadsheet on the wall. It was full of people advertising to sub-let their condos, monthly rent and conditions. All of the rentals were asking for upwards of $3,000/month. I sadly couldn't afford that, so I walked away.

I'm in yet another building, and my mum's complaining that the workers that were in here were disgusting. So many things in the basement are now coated in dried up sperm I decided to investigate. I encountered a long black hose connecting a sink to a wall... yep, that's all crusted I went into the washroom and saw more in a soap dish. As I woke up, I was saying "Ewwww!" over and over in the outro of the dream.

August 1, 2010
Hanging out with The Beatles
I was on a ship with some DC's. Notably, i was hanging out with a young John and Paul (George and Ringo were there too, but not in sight atm).. We were playing on this baseball diamond.

The baseball diamond had stuff lying across it (was like we were in a storage compartment of some sort), but we decided to mess around in there, anyways. I was standing with my foot on home plate and John had the ball. We looked at Paul and I told John to toss the ball to me. Paul started running towards the plate as the ball was in the air. I almost dropped it, but didn't. "You're out!" I gleefully told him.

The 5 of us walked towards this tent thing. Like festival tenting - metal poles with a canvas roof. I inwardly thought about how much I love hanging out with them. I guess I had some inkling that this wasn't normal, but, I wasn't lucid. I was mostly just enjoying myself! Some DC's were eating at this tent.Something about a girl here, who was lying about who she had said she was. Can't remember much else about this, but whatever it was, it had me pissed off.

We docked at something that was like an indoors terminal (like going from the inside of an airplane to the inside of the airport. Except this was going from the inside of the ship to the inside of the building). There was a lady standing behind a desk in a uniform (white blouse, green vest and skirt) just to my right. I was standing at the entrance to this terminal, waiting. Had something to do with that lying girl. The guys told me to come back and eat with them. I guess we weren't getting off here.

Note from the author
Hey guys. I've had a couple of very personal goals of mine come up that I would really like to focus on. This includes attempting some shared dreams with both my brother, but also my best friend. The ones with my brother are top priority, as they are leading to something else much bigger. We are trying to get a message across to another brother of ours who we lost contact with, some time ago.

While I won't devote ALL my lucid time to this (since that'll likely burn me out, and I like to do fun things, too), it is rather the top priority at the moment. Don't worry, Kraftwerk and Mosh! I haven't forgotten about you, I just really need to focus on this, now that I've got a fairly decent amount of monthly LD totals rolling in...

July 29, 2010
Jack and i entered someone else's apartment. False memory told me it was our old apartment, but it didn't look like ours.

I needed to have a shower, so I went into the washroom. There were towels all over the place and in the tub.

I started throwing them all out on the floor. The door was slightly ajar, and i started feeling a little horny. I clued in at this point that I was dreaming (probably because of the random, sudden horniness). I thought maybe someone could walk through the door right now...

A very average looking guy came through the door. He'll do I guess, it is just a dream. "Take off your clothes, we're going to have sex!" I told him. He looked shocked! "Oh, get over it, it's just a dream," I told him

He seemed alright with that, but then his looks changed. He became old, bald, and was missing teeth. "Ugh," I thought. "Change back, change back!"

Then, Jack comes in. He starts quizzing the guy on having sex with me. He's not outright asking, and the guy is dodging the answer. I was trying to will Jack to go away (poor hubby!). Then, I could work on morphing him into something hotter...

The dream dissolved, but I managed to chain back in, sort of. I was still lucid, but in a new room. I was staring at a phone and I remembered my goal of phoning Naiya for the DV TOTM.

I held down the 3 on the phone for speed dial (I have you all on speed dial!). "Hello?" a girl's voice answered.

"Hey, Naiya, it's Serenity."

"Hey, what's up?"

"I'm just calling to remind you to dream share with Walms."

"I did that already!" she answers.

"Oh. Alright then, talk to you in chat later!"

"Bye!"

That was short... Right then, well, having not satisfied my dream horniness, I thought about another guy coming into the new room I was in. This one was so much better with very nice abs and arms

Dream ended before we could get down to it though, and I couldn't chain back in.

July 28, 2010

Chatting with an ex
The dream actually first starts out with blackness. To be honest, I'm not sure if I dreamed this, or this was real. But I was experiencing really strong SP vibrations. I tried to move my hand through it, to test if it was my dream hand or real hand. I decided it was real. I entered a dream scene.

I was at some water slides with mum and Jack. I don't know why, but I didn't want to be there. Jack and Mum sent my tube down the slide and they went too. There was this side-slide that I traveled down, to catch up to my tube. At the bottom of the slide, I was in a new dream.

I was sitting on a couch with Maxwell (an old ex), just talking (in an apartment). He hands me this brown folder. It's a bit bulky. In it, I see this little slip of paper, that used to serve as a speed dial menu for a phone. Our names were on the same menu option, suggesting that we used to live together/shared the same phone number. We never did, IRL, but my dream self recognized it. I asked him why he would keep such a thing?

I went through the folder some more, and found this piece of paper with some crossed out directions on it. I said, "Oh, this was my fault!" Maxwell was confused. I said that what happened was, there were landmarks I was giving this person, and I didn't quite describe them properly.

During some point of our conversation, I make the comment, "Yeah married life hasn't been all it's cracked up to be." He agrees with me.

We hear someone enter the apartment. It's his RL girlfriend, Carlene. He greets her, and then returns to talk to me, and Carlene disappears. She re-emerges wearing a house coat and a towel on her head. I say to her, "Hey, Carlene!" She's surprised to see me, but we hug. We all started chatting.

My mum randomly emerges, saying the banana cream pie is ready. Maxwell and Carlene both take very large pieces. There was only one bit left that was already smaller than what those two had, but I cut it in half, not wanting to be greedy.

I heard what sounded like my phone's alarm clock (which is a very gentle, rolling guitar thingy). I played a second time and I woke up. However, the sound did not carry through into real life. I looked at my clock. It's 5am... my alarm wasn't set until 7am... I did a RC. Definitely awake. But how weird, that my alarm woke me from my dream, but it never actually went off

Some fragments
I remember the banana cream pie showed up in a later dream.

Some kinky stuff with Jack.

July 25, 2010
I had a really rough night, last night. I sleep in a basement, and yet for some reason, it was brutally hot, last night. I actually wondered if I had broke a fever or something, that's how hot it felt. During my first wake up, the roof of my mouth was also tingling quite insistently. However, I managed to keep going back to sleep, and dreaming, so... win, I guess.

The dinner party
I managed to chain this dream 3 times! Although the lack of control was a little bothersome, it was still pretty cool. I managed to keep a lot of consistency throughout each chain. To be honest, I can't remember the wake up points, and a 3-chain is kind of hard to remember all of the details, so I'll do my best.

There was a massive dinner party being held at a community hall. The hall itself was actually quite elegant looking. Rich wood walls and flooring. Although I was a guest at this dinner, I happened to be there early, to help with the setting up.

I went to retrieve a coffee pot from the table, when I ran into my ex, Joe, who was setting the table. He smiled at me, happy to see me. I inwardly was amazed at the clarity of his details that my brain could produce. But I also wanted to avoid running into him again as much as possible. I greeted him, and wondered what he was doing here. He was volunteering for set-up and also as a server during the party. I guess I'll have to run into him again, after all.

I took the coffee pot over to a sink area, dumped out the old coffee and rinsed the pot. I set the coffee maker up with a new grind and filter, but didn't turn it on. I left a note to instruct whoever would handle this part to just turn it on when they were ready to serve.

I decided, since I was a guest, to enjoy myself at the rest of the events around the hall that was happening throughout the day. There was something about a manicurist, but I don't really recall anything about that (other than my notes say there was one).

I found Jack in an upstairs room, getting his skin treated for something. He said this woman has a freeze thingy to get rid of moles, and he said I should try it. I said I was fine, and Jack insisted I give it a shot. I knew immediately what he meant... He wanted her to freeze off my "John Lennon mole!"


I have a mole like that too, in that exact location, hence the name Jack hates it when I call it that!! He has also threatened to freeze it off himself. I've warned that's grounds for divorce...

I told them I would be back. I'm pretty sure I actually did wake up at this point. Back in the dream, I was looking at myself in a mirror (clear image, I have no idea what anyone means when they say their image looks screwy. Mine always looks normal...). I noticed I had a lot more moles on my chest than I should, and I even thought as much to myself. Where the hell did they come from, so suddenly? Oh well, guess I better get them removed. So, I returned back upstairs and found the mole-remover was starting to pack up her stuff. I apologized for taking so long, but could she get me done before she goes? She agreed to, and I stipulated that under no circumstances does she touch my forehead mole.

She was really quite shocked by this reaction, most people wouldn't want an unsightly mole on their forehead... I explained that as odd as this might sound, the mole has sentimental value... I noticed in the corner of the room, to help me explain, was a a huge poster of John up on the wall, just like the one above, in black and white (minus the red marks). I asked her if she could see the forehead mole. She could not. I came over and pointed it out. That worked!

I think there was another chain point, here. I was back down in the dining room, and guests were arriving and taking seats. I did briefly see Joe again, here, but I managed to avoid talking to him. I was approached by one of the head of staff, who brought me my time sheet. He could not figure out how to pay me, because all of my entered times looked wonky. I had troubles reading the sheet (damn dream reading)... one entry looked like 0.38 seconds. But then I asked, wasn't this supposed to be volunteer work anyways? Why are we getting paid and doing timesheets?? The boss-guy tried to shrug off my question, and I tried to remember my dream re-entry times when my alarm for work woke me up.

I didn't put a lot of effort into recall today.

I did attempt a WILD after 6 hours of sleep. I wanted to test whether it was better for me to do one with the WBTB or to do them separate. The verdict remains to keep them separate. I didn't slip into HI at all! Although I did experience some intense SP, complete with shaking, flashing lights behind my eyelids and even some noises... I tried floating and rolling and visualizing and after all that, I was still awake.

Verdict: Better for me to split them up. I prefer having the HI and just working on the balancing act between sleep and consciousness.

Another crap McDonalds dream
I recall working with the hashbrowns again, at McDonalds, and Maxwell (ex-bf) being there.

July 23, 2010

5:00am
Train station
I'm at a train station. I use some keys to unlock some doors. On the other side, there is a man coming up the escalator. He's old, and false memory tells me his name is Joe, and he's falling into dementia.

He walks past me and he says, "Oh, thank you for unlocking the door! My dog, Joe, ran through here, and I need to find him!"

Even though it was supposed to be my job to kick him out, I decided not to.

Cameras
I was watching security cameras, surveying the festival grounds that is in town (it's actually over, now). I realize I have been missing things, and I feel guilty for not doing my job right.

5a-7:30a
WILD. Failed - I fell asleep

7:30a
School crimes
Myself and another classmate got called out of class. We went across the hall to the washrooms, where there were more police. Someone had been murdered in there, and they think he's still in the building.

I suddenly get this vision of two people sitting next to each other, engulfed in flames.

We go back across the hall and out the windows everything is pitch dark, and the other classroom building has fire coming out of every window. I'm glad I'm over here, but my locker is in that building. I wonder how much stuff I kept in there?

Forums/HI
I was on the DV forums, in Naiya's WILD class. She was listing off a bunch of people who were successful last night. I was very disappointed that I wasn't one of them

9:50am
Wonky Elevator
I was in a classroom again. Nita (old classmate) gave my water glass to someone else. I was rather upset by this, and walked out to get another glass of water before class started.

I only needed to go down two floors, and I contemplated the stairs, but I was feeling really tired, so I decided to take the elevator. This girl asks me to hold the doors. I thought she was Nita, but it turned out to be a DC.

I hit the button for 64 (we were on 68). She hits the button for 2. The elevator doesn't even stop on 64, and the girl is all like, "WTF?" She tries to choose another floor for me to get off, but it still doesn't work. Then, it feels like we're going sideways, rather than down! I think to myself, "Wow, this elevator is acting rather dream-like!"

The girl distracted me from my brief lucidity by telling me we'll have to jump out of the doors once it reaches the main floor. We do so. I really don't need to be this far down though (and I've completely forgotten about the lucidity). I feel tense, because now my class has started, and I need to get back up. I have to try to jump back on the same way I jumped off...

July 22, 2010

Dentist
I needed to go to the dentist, but I was avoiding him, because he wanted to do another costly procedure on my teeth. My dentist was actually "being played" by my doctor.

I told him I had to reschedule, because there was a meeting came that came up for some school thing.

Keyboard
I was at work, playing the keyboard (piano) in the server room.

Walking
I'm not postive as to why, but there were hundreds of people walking along the road. I was walking fairly slowly, and lost Jack in the crowd. There was a DC-guy who told me he would stay with me.

My old college instructor, Jules, turns around from in front of me and tells me I look like Grover, from the Muppet show



I tell him, "That's not a very nice thing to say!"

July 21, 2010
Slept between 2:30a-11:30a
Missed my WBTB/WILD

Car crash
My boss was loading more and more pressure on my site, which was making me feel awful. I can't remember the specifics.

I really didn't feel like taking the transit into work, because I was feeling so tired and un-energetic. I took a cab into work. We're going along and we notice that the cars are driving on the wrong side of the road (weird car behaviour = DS). The cabbie waits for the cars to pass until he turns onto the road. When he does, we approach a group of teenagers standing right in the middle of the road, and they don't care to mover, either. The cabbie cuts through them and makes a sharp left turn in the middle of the group. He makes a sharp right turn, but accidentally spins out and I hear (and feel) a thwump! on our back end as he accidentally hit one of the teenagers in the group. I screamed. Instead of just getting out straight away, the cabbie maneuvers the car away to park it. I was shouting at him not to bother with that.

He goes out to see what he can do, and I remained in the cab. These chicks come up and they tell me to get out. The cabbie took their friend's life, so they should get the cab. Immediately, I'm feeling confrontational, and I push one of the girls away, but then I realize, they did just lose a friend. Instead of provoking the fight, I start talking with them. Eventually they joined me in the car and they were telling me about their friend and it was all really sad :morecry: I remember trying to lighten it by saying something like, "Maybe he's just injured?" or "Maybe he's just got the wind knocked out of him and he's alright?" I remember asking his name. They gave it, and it was something horribly unpronounceable that started with an A.

Another Work Dream
We were having a site meeting at this new site of ours. I'm not entirely sure how or why this was, but our guard was doubling as a cashier for a pastry shop. It must have been an early morning meeting, because I showed up hungry. I contemplated over muffins or pastries for breakfast, and eventually settled on a blueberry cheesecake

I remember briefly talking to Rachel.

We were all then in a circuit training gym. I was on the station just before my friend, Elise (who doesn't actually work with me). She's done this before, but I haven't. I'm staring at this structure with two long ropes dangling from it, with little posts at the end of the ropes for me to stand on. Elise explains that I have to jog in mid-air while standing on those posts. She explains how to get onto the ropes properly so I'm in a standing position. I can't replicate it, and I end up with my back parallel to the ground. Elise just sighs and says she'll show me when it's her turn.
