Non-dream stuff: Woke up at 8, with the usual alarms and auto radio. Could remember a dream fragment but tried too hard to remember it so decided instead to set another alarm for 9:30 and try to sleep more. Woke up at 9:30 and remembered a dream but was fading a little.

Non-lucid dream fragment, going backwards:

4: Starting from the end of the dream, I remember some frozen strips of pork. I know we were at some bigger and altered version of my partner's dad's house. I was going to cook them over a fire and I took a little strip off and ate it raw - very quickly I thought "Crap, you can't eat raw pork, what the hell am I doing? This is how you can get worms..." but then I also (conveniently...) remembered this was bacon, which in many cases can be eaten "raw" because of the process to make it. This is the last portion of the dream before I woke up.

3: I remember walking around the house before that, looking for my partner. It was strange, I was half-aware that this was a dream because I remember thinking that this was exactly like another time as I opened some doors and went through the crooked and narrow halls. I remember in the dream context there were some doors that unleashed swarms of spiders (dream memory someone had told me) but they were already open and my dream self knew which these were.

2: Before that, I can't remember if I was in a different place, but I think I was looking at a screen (but it feels like I wasn't) with my partner and there was a museum and a large limestone statue of someone like David the Thinker or Atlas, carrying the world. On the statue however, was an old friend of mine who I'd had a crush on in waking life; she was mostly naked apart from some (to me) weird leather laces around her limbs and pelvis; she was posing on or against the statue in a heroic pose, for a photo or something, as she was looking up and away, smiling.

1: And finally the earliest thing I can remember vaguely is that there was some sort of room. An office room maybe.

Some notes:

• My old school friend should have been a good cue of a dream sign; not only was she someone that is simply not present in my life at all anymore, she was in a very odd situation. The leather lace stuff might have been because in waking life I remember she told me that she self-harmed. As a kid I didn't think too much about that, actually.
• The pose my old school friend was taking, was a behaviour accurate to her real personality, when I knew her anyway.
• In my partner's dad's house, I was aware of my partner being there, and do vaguely remember seeing him at some point.
• The thing with the bacon should have made me do a RC because from one moment to another I decided it was fine, when I was almost panicking for doing something so stupid initially.
• Waking life note: Must remember to, after doing something stupid, even if it's fine afterwards, do a RC.
• The spider swarm releasing doors, though I wasn't afraid of them, I was wary of them, even open. I felt like the spiders were moving around but I carried on with walking through the house.
• I remember there was a skylight in one of the corridors in the dream; in reality there is no skylight at all in that house.

This dream was about being in a oversized house, it had at least 7 bedrooms. It was a 2 story house with a basement and I was a guest there along with my family and relatives. Everyone was shown where they were to sleep for the night, I had to sleep in a kids bed. It was undersize and only 4 ft long, I'm over 6 ft! How am I supposed to sleep? Well I try anyway. I could lay there head on my pillow and lower legs dangling over the edge, rediculous. I got back up and wandered around, spying on the sizes of the other beds and if they were all being used. As I looked around I could tell most bedrooms were being used, and seen some couples that were unpacking. This one bedroom I walked in, the door was open, one couple was naked in bed there, you know kissing and stuff. As soon as I seen them out of the corner eye I just turned around and walked back out. I'm thinking to myself 'oops'. They could have shut the door, you know?

Well I went back to my bed, I think I ended up curling up and going to sleep within my dream, but if I had a dream within a dream I don't remember it. I think my dream went hazy as I "slept" within my dream. Once I woke up again, I went to complain to my mom about the sleeping conditions. She said she would try and get me a different bed for the next night.

The dream scene changes and its later in the day, I am at a mall. I'm just wandering around aimlessly looking at stuff. I remember having some interactions with my DCs at this point that seemed important to me somehow, I just can't remember the details. I'm getting the impression this girl I'll call Ann was there, but I can't say for sure. Someone I used to know, a girl I had a big time crush on. The dream scene changes again and now I'm on a 2 layer bus with the tour group. It is a silver bus, with the black tinted windows. All the seats are filled, I don't think I had so many DCs packed in such a small area before. I was on the upper level, so I decide to get up and walk to the lower level. As I reached the lower level is where I woke up.
