I woke up a few times during this, but it felt very interconnected, even though it definitely wasn't.
Sciulli and I are driving around a neighborhood that reminds me of my great-grandma's old street. We go into a house and play ping pong with two really weird guys in the basement. It's my house's basement, but it's not my house that we're at. At first, we just play some regular games while watching some weird radio-tv-monitor thing. The guys say they're going to step it up, and we start playing with two people on both of the long sides of the table instead of the receiving sides. Each of us has half a paddle, and we're playing with what seems like four balls. Sciulli and I are terrible at it; he wants to get better, I am frustrated because we suck. I go to leave and it's suddenly my house. My dad gives me a game called Revolution 2046 or something. He said it was one of his favorites. I believe I woke up after this part.
Next, I'm playing (or I am?) Super Mario (kart?). Peach was mad at Mario for being bad? or something? It seemed like he was trying to figure out a mystery or problem or something and had to keep his motives secret. I tried to talk to my friend Emily McN. on 'Nintendo chat' by pressing a blue X button (uh, that's Xbox, silly), but I never responded to her fast enough and it glitched out a lot. Then a different Emily called me on my cell phone and cried because she made a nice dinner but couldn't find her boyfriend. I told her I would join her and whoever else was coming to the dinner. I think I woke up again.
My girlfriend's father arranges to meet me in a room at his workplace. He shows me a yellow paper that proclaims to be the HOHO document, something about getting ink for their company (they actually make turbines...). When I look back, it's the WOWO document, and back again reveals it as the SOHO document. Should have recognized it. He tells me he's leaving, but suddenly the room fills with undergraduate business students who want to work for his company, and he tells me that I should socialize with them. I feel like he's trying to keep me away from his daughter by catching me in infidelity, so I just make nice and awkwardly start talking to a few people around me. There's a really tall guy and a short-ish red-haired girl wearing grey business clothes. I am very nervous introducing myself to them, and I offer a handshake.
A short one - not sure where it fits in - I am in a big room with my friend Steve and (a person whom I believe to be) his roommate Ben. He is showing me, on a huge TV screen, a new racing game by the makers of Katamari Damacy, starring the Prince. He rides over the other drivers, and the speed boost panels are black ovals with red outlines. I get a call, and I have to go.
I'm driving around a nighttime Pitt campus. I think Sciulli or someone is in the passenger seat. I come to a bridge that has two-way traffic, but there's a large construction vehicle in my lane, spinning some strange wheel into the bridge. I try to go around it, but I notice that the ground under the car has become very sandlike. Up ahead, the road has become a dune of gritty, damp, red sand. There are people at the end of the bridge. It's hard to explain, but the latter half of the bridge has been dug out while my car is stuck on the first half. I get out of the car and slide down to the ground where Emily T and her boyfriend Tyler are waiting. Suddenly, Emily lights a stick of dynamite, which turns out to be a bundle of dynamite! She doesn't really know what to do with it, and she's scared, so Tyler grabs it from her, waits for the right moment, and tosses the dynamite into the sand bank. It explodes, making a sandslide. I rush back to my car and steer it to safety at the end of the bridge. I get out, and my band director, Jack, tells me to "park it on Blue Street." I'm confused, because I've never heard of such a street, but he assures me that it's right off of "Red Street." Suddenly, my girlfriend is there, and she helps me navigate to the place where I am to park, which turns out to be right around the corner.
Is that enough recall for you, Naiya? Sometimes, after I woke up, it felt like I was just making things up, but as I'm sure you've experienced, it's all there in my memory distinctly. The first time I had a lucid dream was after a bout of good recall, so hopefully this will lead me to another lucid experience if I keep it up. And yes, a lot of my dreams have cartoon/anime/videogame themes
