Another poker dream (a common theme in some of my dreams). This time I was on Poker After Dark (a late night show on NBC). The only players I remember were Phil Helmuth and Daniel Negranu, and for some reason John Lithgow (from "3rd rock from the sun"). I won and the guys congratulated me. I then went to the bar to have a drink.
At the bar I saw a big screen with the playboy channel on it, like you could pay by the minute or something? I think that was in my last poker dream too but I didn't recall it at the time. Anyway, as I'm at the bar I'm emptying my chips out on the bar and I find a 1$ chip to hang on too (I collect them) when I notice a bunch of small and big blind markers (blinds are like antes, money you have to put into the pot before you can get your cards). I've never seen ones like these before though. Usually they are small discs, similar to poker chips, but these were cubed like dice but much smaller. There were 2 types, one red, the other white, both had gold lettering and I think they had either different languages on each side, or different amounts for the blinds for different levels (1 and 2$ blinds, 5 and 10$, etc.). I wanted these for my home games so I pocketed one of each along with my 1$ chip (which I now remember that I traded with Phil Laak (another one of the players) because mine was dirty).
After cashing in (for way less than what I should have won, a couple hundred at most) I realized that it was 2006 (don't ask me how or why?). I became partially lucid when I realized it wasn't 2006, but I couldn't hang on to it. I figured I must have a room in the hotel and next thing I remember is being up there with my mom and dad who came to watch me play.
In the room I was counting my money, and once again came close to being lucid when the prize money didn't make since to me (the winner usually gets over 100 thousand). But this time instead of slipping back into the dream I just woke up. So frustrating!!!, have yet to have a LD and now I have 2 chances in a single dream. Oh well, at least it's progress. Maybe next time I'll hang on to it.
