I think this night deserves a few highlights cooleymd style (though they're a bit dark to be highlights):
Most creepy
- I Find a jar with a live chocolate tarantula on the car seat, destined to be a gift for me. My gaze is locked on it. I'm confused about how I feel, part of me is disgusted, the other wonders if I might enjoy the sensation of the eight struggling arms as I swallow.
Closest to lucidity
- I teaching some young cousins how to drive. I am at the wheel for now. Slowly, their excitement for driving fades as they witness my horrible driving. I try to stay confident and improve my driving, but as usual in dreams, I have little control over the car, especially the speed. I try to slow down to better steer, but the car hits things in the street, flips and leads to a big collision killing many innocent people. The boys never want to drive in their lives. Frustrated, I rewind everything to their surprise and tell them you can always rewind when driving so they don't need to worry. They only question this momentarily, then they are happy again about the prospects of driving soon.
Most cathartic
- I walk back to a rent from a work, in a snow landscape, passing a gate. After looking around the multi-room house, I find a fellow lessee just outside. He is going to give me a set of keys but then a neighbor from the other side of the street yells that if he gives them to me, he will kill me. Nonchalantly, the lessee keeps the keys and goes back inside, though it's implied he protected me this way. Fearless, I walk across the street to confront the man. First, I ask him if his comment was a bad joke or a real threat. A threat. I argue that his behavior is unacceptable, we should be a community. He points out I upset his daughter. I recall having a conversation with his daughter at the pool at a neighborhood party (false memory or another dream?) but nothing was out of line, so when he starts calling me names, I don't seek to have the last word and walk back home frustrated but proud of myself.


Because I like dream inspired challenges, here are new personal goals:
- Eat a live chocolate spider (new). Don't judge me. What happens in dreams stays in dreams.
- Control a car properly, speed and steering (new).
