      Guilt:
      I'm at a small apartment. Area seems like a winter version of the California ocean walk.
      I'm getting a facetime call from my uncle J and my sister M. They are just outside the door.
      I am feeling guilty about not letting them in. But then I justify my action, wondering whether they are being fair.


      Puzzle:
      I'm at a playscape with my brother. There is a puzzle we need to work out. Working our way up.
      There is a third person in our group, and we are leaving them hints as we figure it out.
      They are just behind us in the puzzle progression.


      Fragment:
      Something about Grandma’s house and her basement. Odd feeling.

      Alien Invasion:
      I'm at my old high school at night getting an astronomy tour.
      There is a man giving a tour of the sky. There is a red/square looking constellation that is two parts orbiting each other called Romeo and Juliet. It looks awesome.
      I notice it getting closer. Start to see detail. Fiery pyramids. Closer. I can see texture. Space ships, not stars. I joke that we are about to be invaded.
      They stop moving and are now hanging in the air just 100 yards or so away. They are big and there are more now. I’m stuck by fear.
      I tell my girlfriend we have to go. She’s paralyzed with fear.
      I see little bipedal creatures with weapons descending from the red pyramids. WE HAVE TO GO! I try to shake her out of it and succeed.
      We start running toward an open set of double doors. The aliens open fire, and I notice there is an army on the ground and still more descending.
      The rate of fire indicates we wont make it. I slow down so I don't leave her behind.
      The bullets are smaller slimy alien babies being shot out headfirst.
      It is rapid fire. My girlfriend is hit before she reaches the door.
      I slow down and approach her to help her get up.


      Backstage:
      I'm at a party, but backstage. It looks significantly less fancy than the venue outside. more stone and base features.
      There is a famous band backstage playing World of Warcraft with us. The lead signer is Guy Fieri.
      I find a WoW combat tutorial video, and raw music mp3 files. I think it is cool.

      Lost:
      I'm at a party with some family. It's a surprise visit, and I'm annoyed that I didn't get a heads up.
      We're in a small-ish apartment, with a big crowd filling it up.
      There are some puppies, one of them is an Aussie.
      There is some texting mix up with K, so they think my girlfriend is pregnant.
      ...
      I'm outside now in a questionable looking street.
      There is a cartoon character doing voices walking down the street.
      One of them is Peppino from Pizza Tower.
      I'm with my coworker J, and we have taken on a life of crime.
      We're going to sell some stolen things at a pawn shop.
      It's a small place on a corner, similar to a gas station but even tinier.
      I'm feeling nervous that we'll get caught, and also jealous that J has better stuff to sell.
      He has electronics while I have toiletries.
      ...
      I'm looking for my girlfriend's Dad at a library. It has at least three levels to it.
      There is a science show happening in a main hall. I'm annoyed that I can't find him.
      He is super social, and I wonder about natural versus unnatural extraversion.

      Habit RC:
      I'm at a parking lot at CVS. I perform a nose reality check out of habit...and either I can't breathe or I stop paying attention. I continue with a text reality check of the CVS sign and that looks normal too.
      Finally on another nose reality check I notice that I can breathe.
      I'm lucid now.
      I turn to my girlfriend and ask her if this is a dream. She says it is not.
      I go to void and try to maintain awareness but I lose it.

      ...
      I'm at dinner with my girlfriend and her family. It looks like an Applebee's.
      The table is pulled up to the steps and arranged around some chairs oddly.
      Her grandparents were supposed to show up but didn't.
      Later we leave and climb over some rocks to reach the cars.


      Fragment:
      I'm at my childhood home at the upstairs bathroom. I have to pee, but my brother beats me too it.

      Jealous:
      I'm at a bowling alley or arcade type building. I came with my girlfriend, but she keeps leaving me to meet up with some of her friends from college.
      This time, she has been gone a long time. I get a video feed on my phone showing some guys getting too close to her. I feel very jealous and angry.
      I have my spartan blanket and I'm on a rollerblade floor.
      I see a guy who seems scared, and I tell him whatever he is going through, it can't be as bad as me, and that he will be OK.
      ...
      I'm racing in a Halloween-themed racetrack. It has many branching paths, and eventually transitions into a Christmas course.
      There is a fairy that is helping me find secrets in the track, and allowing me to fall down slowly to reach areas I shouldn't be able to.
      It feels like Mario Kart.
      One of the secrets is a hidden bar. I land on a snowy street and find my girlfriend with someone at the bar.

      Open Heart Surgery:
      I'm on a surgery table in what looks like a sunroom. I'm having open heart surgery and I am awake for it.
      Doctor is a younger guy and I am terrified. He seems very casual about what he is doing.
      At one point there is a break, and I'm told to go walk around.
      I emerge from the room into a Kohl's clothing store.
      My Dad, sister, and brother are there waiting for me.
      I feel a pain in my chest, it feels real.

      Dorm Room:
      I'm with G from work and I'm helping him with AI. We are in my dorm from college.
      I try to tell him what to do, but he won't listen.
      He has grocery store donuts at his desk.
      He's trying to make superhero AI porn.
      Me and my girlfriend are looking at the dorm as a place to live. Generally looks dingy.
