Last night I had a really strange dream, which thankfully gave me a break from the car dream I had the 8 nights prior. Last night I watched the State Of The Union Address and then turned on the TV in my bedroom and watched news coverage of the speech and the Iowa Caucus results once I got in my bed. I think watching this is what fueled the dream. This dream occurred in the present time. When it started I was pulling up to the butcher shop where I always buy my steaks and other good cuts of meat. I parked where I normally do in the parking lot and then started walking towards the store. Before I could get to the store, a few PETA Protestors stepped in front of me and tried to explain to me all the reasons why I should not be buying or eating meat and that instead I should switch to a plant based diet because it would save animals and more poor people could be fed. I tried to politely explain to them that in my opinion these animals are raised for the sole purpose of providing food for humans. I also explained that I like a good steak and would rather spend more money on that than less on a crappy plant based diet. As I tried to get away from them, one noticed my new Jaguar SUV and then they started telling me that I must be one of "Those People" and that doesn't care about the environment or helping those less fortunate. They asked me my feelings towards Socialism, and I tried to explain to them how awful it is. When I tried to tell them what I had seen when I visited China, it just made them turn against me even more. I tried to get away from them and go into the butcher shop, but more of them where now there and they were blocking my path. I decided then to just go back to my SUV and see if I could get the shop to deliver some steaks to my home. When I turned around, there were now a bunch of them standing between me and my SUV. I decided that the best option at this point was to just turn and run toward the road away from them since there was no point in arguing with a bunch of people I could not talk sense with. I started running as fast as I could and they kept running behind me. I kept turning my head and they were always a few hundred feed behind me. I kept running for several blocks and they were always the same distance behind me. No closer and no further away. Just as I was starting to get tired, I saw a Waffle House ahead. I sprinted in there as fast as I could and then took a seat at the bar. The mob stayed in the parking lot and did not try to come into the Waffle House. I ordered a waffle, double order of hash browns, and lots of bacon and sausage. I woke up from the dream while I was watching them cook my hash browns, bacon, and sausage. When I woke-up I was starving in my making life and had to go and fix a glass of water.
Mayan Calander I was in a shop selling crocheted female clothing. They were Orange and Yellow against a darker background. There was a skirt with a Mayan calendar. I wanted to buy it badly. First I looked at the other designs. They were also of Mayan design, but more abstract. Little Luck in a Crowd I woke up to go to the bathroom. Returning to bed, I practiced SSILD. I believe the dream actually occurred a couple hours later. I think I woke up to turn off my phone alarm, and within five minutes, I had the dream. My phone snooze only lasts five minutes, and I think I dreamed between alarms. I went in and out of SP. I heard a wooshing sound as though something went by very quickly. I thought it odd. I did an RC but couldn't see my hand. I was still awake. I relaxed and let sleep take me, every once in a while thinking about my typical subject of choice. In and out of SP, I finally slipped into a dream. I enter the Waffle House (IWL I have hit the Waffle a few times, once to meet a friend M.) The place is packed. I spot a blonde and move in. I put her on the table, lie down, and kiss her. I can't really feel her lips. I'm to awake, though my dream has materialized so that it builds itself. I tell her to open her mouth (so I can really kiss her), but she doesn't. I decide to try to make it with her. I attempt to pull my pants right off my body, but it doesn't work, so I try to take them off the regular way. There dream shifted to a flat, cement structure, but I forget what happened if anything. I had a lot of trouble with this lucid. I was too awake. The success here is that SSILD may be working.
