4/21/25 Dream 1: Gift Shopping (1 point) In a library/bookstore. I’m looking for gifts, possibly for my Mom and my brother. There are several floors to the library, set up like the library at my alma mater, and the floor that I am on has some books for sale. I’m also wanting to cook something – maybe make some coffee. So, I’m hoping to find a cookbook to help me. But also I’m looking for gifts. There are some interesting looking books, at least one having to do with botany I think. I go to another floor, where there are tables set up. This looks more like a study area, even though there are books lined up on shelves around the walls. I go back to the elevator (I think I was in an elevator) and maybe check out one or two more floors. Possibly this leads into the next dream scene, in which I’m looking at electronics. There are some things having to do with an R2D2 replica, that plays music or something. You can buy the replica itself, or various cartridge-like items that attach to it to play different songs. At first I pick one up for Mom, but later I don’t know if she would really like it. I look at the price, and it’s pretty expensive. It’s in my backpack, but I take it back and hang it up on the rack again. Then I see that Mom is there next to me, and she says something. Fragment 1: Church (0.5 point) Going to visit a church. It might be my cousin’s church, one that I have dreamed about before. Remembering my previous dreams, I think that this might be a good opportunity to practice reality checks. Dream 2: Boats, Plots, and Farscape Characters (4 points) I’m at the lake with someone else – possibly my brother, and possibly Rygel from Farscape. We are thinking about going out on a small rowboat, but the waves on the lake are pretty big. I have doubts that we will be able to fight against them, and it might be kind of dangerous. Nearby, there is a large boat – more like a small ship or tugboat. We get into this one, which would probably handle the waves OK, but it isn’t ours. It seems to me that I don’t like the idea of taking this boat without permission, and anyway the bridge seems to be somewhat large and complex and might be too much for two people to handle. There is a scene in which I’m trying to back the boat into the dock/garage thing it came from. Something about an intrigue involving foreign countries. There is a plot going on, and I’m trying to identify which countries are involved. Again, it feels like Rygel is involved. We are working together. I somehow get the names of multiple countries, and am working on deciphering the last one. My guess is that it’s China, because it has something to do with dragons. Later, I’m in a car with the character Crais from Farscape (+ 3 points – Crais is an alien…so is Rygel, but I wasn’t as sure of his identity in the dream). He is driving, but for some reason doesn’t have full control of the vehicle. I have to press on the brake, and then I find that I have to steer the car too. We are driving around a construction site. People are painting what seems to be the steel frame of a building. They are painting it white. We bump into the frame from time to time. There is some uncertainty about being paid for this job. They might not be paying me for drive time.
4/19/25 Fragment 1: Falling My Aunt getting out of a car and falling. (I’m not going to claim this one for the competition, because my aunt is suffering from dementia and I don’t want to capitalize on that for points). Dream 1: There is a place that I’m supposed to go to. It’s up a hill some ways. I go up this hill, and come across a patch of mud. Apparently, this is where Mark Twain, or maybe Tom Sawyer, used to play in the mud. There is a statue nearby, I think. I keep on going, and start looking for an apartment. On the way I pass a bank. In this reality, people have jobs where they go to an office and watch banks through these special viewers that look like periscopes. I wonder what it would be like to have to sit there all day looking into the viewer thing, and not really being able to appreciate your surroundings. I reach the apartment. Here, I’m supposed to pick up mail, or something. Later, it seems that I’m shopping for a gift for someone. Maybe my grandmother. I go to a shop where they have those gift sets of various foods – the sort of thing that you could probably buy the individual things a lot cheaper and put them in a basket yourself. There is also cheese here, and my dream focuses more on the cheese. They have it cut in sections and sitting out, kind of looking like the are offering free samples. I’m not exactly sure if that’s what they are doing, but I take a couple of pieces anyway and start munching on them. Outside in the street, there are a couple of people around that seem a little sketchy… …I get involved with some kind of plot. I’m supposed to wear an entirely black set of clothes – everything including the underwear is black, I think. There is a nice banquet, and a suave man sort of like David Niven. This might be my boss in the plot. It’s quite spy-like, but more sinister I think. I’m supposed to change into the black clothes to do whatever it is I’m supposed to do. I go into a sort of closet-like antechamber that leads into my own room. The door is shut and it’s pitch black. But I think maybe I shouldn’t change into the clothes. I enter into my room instead, while the man stands outside wondering if I’m changed yet. Then he starts to come in. I look around for the clothes, but they have disappeared. It seems that they weren’t meant for me. 4/20/25 Fragment 1: In an apartment or a room in a house. This might be a place where I will be staying. There are two doors in the room. We know where one of them leads, but we aren’t sure where the other one leads. Opening it, we see that it leads to the roof. Fragment 2: Taking a shower. There is some whitish stuff, like shaving cream or whipped cream, that gets on me while showering. By the end, I’m in my clothes, which are dry, except for some of the white stuff. Fragment 3: My pot of Mugwort has a couple of stalks growing in it. Fragment 4: At UA, in the Shrank stairwell. Fragment 5: Shopping in a store. There is a TV show with some sports thing on it. My mother is sitting at a table off to my right. I go browsing down the aisles, until I come to a section selling women’s underwear. Then I turn around, trying to listen to the TV as I go along.
