The House Tsunami
26/07/20
Lucid/ 14 - DILD

I’m stood in a large living room in a spacious, modern house. It looks like a show home and all the rooms are empty and in pristine condition. They have high ceilings, bright white walls and the wooden floors have a polished finish. I walk through the room slowly and feel like I’ve been here before? As I reflect upon my surroundings I casually become aware that this is all a dream. I know I should stop and reality check to make sure but my mind is still wrapped up in the dream and I want to finish what I’m doing first. It’s then I stop myself and realise how silly that is as none of this is real and I don’t even know what I’m doing here in the first place! My lucidity grows stronger now but I don’t feel overly excited as I usually would and instead feel rather calm.

I walk across the living area and turn on the light. Though they never usually work in my dreams I’m surprised to see it comes on as normal with no struggle? I then look around the empty room for something else to do but feel a little uninspired. Not wanting to waste the whole dream trapped in this empty house I decide to pursue a dream goal and change the location. I find a door to the right which I can use as a portal and stop to think about where I want it to take me. “Somewhere peaceful” I decide on the spot. “Maybe a forest with a nice gentle stream running through it”. With that decided I reach for the door handle but notice water is gushing out of the cracks in the frame? I look down and see it’s starting to flood the room and has created a small stream across the floor like the one I imagined on the other side of the door. I’m a little hesitant now to open it as clearly a lot of water is on the other side. I look across the room and find a second door at the opposite side I can use instead but when I reach it I see water is also spraying out of the frame! Before I can react the door is blown off it’s hinges and the walls collapse as a cascade of water comes bursting through! “Oh no” I think as it comes crashing toward me. With no time to escape the thundering waterfall, I simply turn my back to it. The foamy water hits my back, wraps around me and sweeps me off my feet. I’m taken forward by the fast torrent and then thrown high into the sky by a large wave.

I see now the rest of the house has gone, washed away with the tsunami and now I’m hurtling through a dark abyss with a vast, roaring ocean below me. I feel completely helpless, with no control over the dream and suspect my unconscious mind is behind this and trying to expel me from the dream. “Whoa!” I yell out as I reach pinnacle altitude and begin to fall down towards the large, rolling waves. I’m glad the water is there to break my fall but at the same time I believe the impact will surely wake me up. It doesn’t and instead I plunge into the ocean like a projectile and torpedo through the dense, dark water until suddenly, I land flat on my front on a solid surface?

I peer up and see I’m no longer underwater but laid on a wet, stone floor in some kind of cave? The space is dark and vast and I can see some grand structure in the distance. It looks like some kind of ancient, underwater temple carved from stone and reminds me of something you’d see in a Tomb Raider game. I only glimpse this for a brief moment and then my vision turns to complete darkness. My sight has gone but I can still feel the floor below me and cling onto the surface, hoping my sight will return. “Stop now! I want to keep going!” I plead with my unconscious, believing it’s behind all of this. I wait for a response and I soon get one in the form of a thundering wave which I can hear rushing toward me. A powerful surge of water throws me across the space like a rag doll. It consumes me and I’m left disoriented and spinning under the water, my hearing muffled and my limbs thrashing. I try to breath in oxygen but instead I gasp and choke, unable to breath! I’m drowning and the sensation feels scarily real. Unable to breath, I hold my breath instead and drift under the water helplessly. Thankfully the ordeal doesn’t last long and soon the dream ends and I wake up with a choke and take a much needed breath of air.

Analysis: This was a strange one indeed. Never have I felt so out of control and at the mercy of a dream whilst lucid. At the time it truly felt like my unconscious was working against me and trying everything it could to stop me and wake me up as if it really wasn’t happy with me been lucid. Of course, upon reflection my expectation that the dream was trying to stop me is probably what made it feel this way. Perhaps that niggling doubt that lucidity is somehow unnatural and interfering with the natural dreaming process triggered this idea. The water coming through the doors was probably triggered by my desire to have a stream in the forest but the tidal wave that followed felt completely out of my control though it was suspiciously reminiscent of that opening action sequence in Inception where water obliterates the building and wakes up Cobb and may have been what influenced the events. The vast ocean was impressive to see and made me think of that famous quote about the dreamer been able to control the dream as much as a sailor controls the sea and this may also have influenced the events. I wish I had time to explore the temple at the end as it felt like a special place and somewhere I was suppose to end up. Sadly the dream worked against me again and that final wave felt like the final word from the dream. The drowning sensation felt very realistic and was rather alarming to be left gasping for breath. Holding my breath at the end was probably what woke me and I was kind of relieved it did. A fascinating experience overall and I hope I can experience more weird and wonderful things like this.

Brotherly Psycho 7:43am

My brother was a terrorist. He blew up several buildings. He was gonna get away I'm his helicopter, but I managed to get on. We were fighting for a bit, but then I tried to spray him with pepper spray. Mans took the shit and started drinking it. I don't remember what happened after that, but I probably hopped out the helicopter like "You got it bro" XD. I think they might have taken me hostage but idk.

This dream was so involved and long with a running theme. The theme was a haunted resort town and a group of people (I was a non-me DC) who had been magically trapped there. After much exploring, I figured out we needed to identify what each ghost was there for and say something to them or do something that would allow them to move on and rest. There was a maid ghost that every time I saw her there was a door next to her that she then caused to be hidden. there was a young boy with marbles and a ghost couple who were going to go get cocktails. We found out that there was supposed to be a cave by a beach house, but the owner said the cliff by his house was totally flat. We found where the cave had been bricked shut and then a park person came and said to stay away because it was dangerous. I figured out the boy with the marbles had either killed his friend or been killed by a big marble thrown in anger and knew I needed to tell him it was not his fault. We got a clue that we should make sure to be at a certain intersection at either sunrise or sunset to see what happens. There was a part where we tried to escape on a raft and it ended up bringing us back to the town but reset the adventure to the beginning and now, we had a better idea what to do. The dream eventually ended with no resolution. The dream was more or less non-lucid despite being so weird.

Dunkin' trip in my pajamas 5:08am

My teacher was so cool that he let me go to the store next to the school after he was done with the main lesson. I got some donuts, but apparently I needed batteries. I did not get them.

In the following class, the teacher was not so kind. He got on me for not remembering certain aspects of the class, and I told him I wasn't mentally there. He then said that he knows people like me could use some coffee; I guess "people like me" was supposed to mean ADHD or something.

Anyway he gave me $10 and told me to just go to Dunkin' donuts. So I went to the same store that I went to in the first part of the dream. Interestingly, after exiting the building and walking to the store, I looked at my reflection in the side of a glass building. I was in my pajamas, or rather what I was wearing when I went to sleep. I thought, "yeah this is what I'm going to the store in" sarcastically. I was still going to the store because I didn't feel like changing, but that was a point that I could have realized.

Anyways I got there and I thought that I was going to get a coffee, two donuts, and maybe a hash brown if I had left over. The interesting thing is when I got to the counter, there was a battery pack with my name on them. Now normally that doesn't mean an item is reserved for you. Like it doesn't print with your name on it. I thought this is weird, but chalked it up to the last teacher remembering that I needed batteries and he decided to buy them for me. Anyway I must have succeeded in getting the coffee and donuts. And now I really want some tomorrow morning.

Dream casino

There was one dream a long time ago I had where I pulled a slot machine and whatever I would get would determine how I woke up. Apparently this casino has evolved and now there's an actual currency to win. I don't remember what that currency is used for, but it is used and shared across different dreams.

Tranzit first stop

I was in Black ops 2 and I was playing zombies by myself. I was playing Tranzit and I was on that first lava part of the map. I got a turbine and then I thought that I was going to farm until I got the galvaknuckles. Then I realized I didn't know how to set up on that map so I got scared because I thought the zombies were real and I woke up.

FA Caught!!! - 8:27am

An attractive woman approached me. Before she could say anything to me her image fizzled out but then I went back to another dream. I said, "Wait a minute that was a false awakening. This is going to keep happening until I catch it." So I kept hopping around from dream to dream and eventually I got to the point where I was in my bed. I decided to do the nose reality check, and wouldn't you know it, I could breathe through my nose.

At this point I was just trying to stabilize my dream. All of my limbs were kind of weird. My hands and feet had this blurry liquid around them. And the rest of my surroundings were also quite blurry. I was in my room. To stabilize, I explained my situation out loud. I said stuff like, my light is on, so is the fan, the carpet feels how I'd expect the carpet to feel, and I even rubbed my hands together.

I did all these things but they didn't really help to stabilize the dream. I mean they did help, but not very much. I've still yet to try stimulating other senses like taste. If I were in that situation again I'm going to really try to remember to lick the first thing I see, because maybe that'll be better than rubbing my hands together. I should know this by now, but rubbing my hands together does not really help the dream stabilize in my experience, unless I'm doing it wrong. Also, I need to stop and take a deep breath too.

I'm happy with that for only 1 day of training. Anyway, the first lucid(in a very long time) of many!

I was snowboarding down a mountain while eating hot Cheetos with melted cheese on them. Interesting. Gonna try to upload more DJs.

Jag gårfrån någon tillställning med pappa farmor och farfar och kanske Janne, med Joel och Pappa. Vi kommer till en lyfktran som är giggantisk. Jag säger att den är det. En utrymningsrutschkana finnns från toppen. I den ligger en man meds sitt barn. Jag tänker att et är som en lekplats för femtioåringar. EMin pappa säger samma sak. JAg lägger märke till fler och fler rutschkanor. Sen ser jag att det rinner vatten i några. Sen är allt en stor vattenpark. I avaträsk men ser inte ut som det. Det är Avaträsks nya satsning, allting panorerar över parken. Störstagrejen där är ett McDonalds.Jag tycker att det är hemskt, som att McDonalds skapade vattenparken bara för att locka fler kunder dit. Jag står nu i kön. Jag försöker tränga mig ner igen, men bron/trappan ner är smal och jag vll inte putta ner någon. Det ända sättet att ta sgi ner på är att bli droppad från en lucka. Jag har min blåa kofta på ig som jag tror inte tål klor så jag vill inte. JAg är helt plötsligt nere på en gummiring. och flyter i vattnet. Loviisas syrrastår i vattnet utan BH. Jag flyter mot kanten och hoppar av ringen. När jag står där kommer Desirée och Loviisa flytande. Det kommer en undertext som inte hänger med med vad Loviisa säger. Desirées underlivv klarar inte hettan av solen. JAg ser LOviisas underliv snabbt och tänker att jag struntar i att on är ful. (Någon gång innan tappar jag min tröja i vattnet och all färg rinner av när jag klämmer ut vattnet.) Vi ska ha sex men kommer aldrig så långt.

Last night's brief LD included a woman who represented someone inappropriate for me to fantasize about per social convention. This was an alarm DEILD so at most the dream was limited to 9 minutes. The first stuff was in a crowded area like a convention center, and I was sitting on a lounge in the middle of an open area. The DC comes to me, and she is totally nude. She interacts with me but not in a overt sexual way. She is simply being friendly and is totally nude. Keep in mind the woman represented is someone I would be shamed for fantasizing about (think cousin). In the dream I pondered this and decided that "what happens in dream land, stays in dream land" No contact happened but I went ahead and enjoyed watching her. Then the next alarm went off and the dream ended.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP

With Riverstone and Nighthawk at what I think is his place. There is a table with a feast and we are chillin. He is laying down on the couch. We have some weird interaction and I feel like he wants to speak with Riverstone alone, so I leave. He says he has some IT issues and hints that I might help out, so I offer to do so and he instructs me to go to an office room down the hallway. Outside on the hallway it feels like a hostel or guest house, not a private house. And indeed the office looks more like a cyber café, with dozens of computers and printers and people on many desks. I sneak peak into someone's work and seems like he is writting a thesis. I spot a pc that is the only one without someone working on it. By its side there are also some papers, of someone clearly working with it and maybe on a break, and I almost decide to steal the pc and leave with it, but then I don't. Instead I need to pee and go look for a bathroom. Weirdly, I have to go out on the street and walk back and forth some stone stairway at the top of some avenue, because the toilet stalls are all lined up on the sides of the street and stairway. I finally find one free, but despite my efforts, can't pee. (Wake up and really need to pee)

I am in some weird surreal place, at first can't really characterize it, but looks kinda hellish, a barren land with a lake of lava or black oil on fire. I notice there is a big fuss and some dudes are fighting with some weird kind of weapons, and I try to walk away discreetly, but then all eyes turn to me because I have on my hands a bigger and more spectacular weapon than theirs. The weapons are hard to describe, but are sort of an eliptical light saber which we grab in the middle (which is void, maybe some kind of force field, but my hands can hold it). Everyone feels like I am challlenging them, so they stop fighting and start attacking me instead. I fight them off easily.
I think I start becoming lucid and just drop the dream. Find myself in a dark empty space and decide to rip apart the dream fabric, quite literally, like a paper scenario. Behind it is total void and I plunge into it. The fall is short and I land with my back onto what appears to be the lower bed on a bunkbed. To my right is a wall, to the left is another bunkbed. People are sleeping in those. I get up and when walking to the door I have this clear feeling I should look up to whomever is on the top bunkbed. He just raised his head. It is my teacher. He smiles and extends his hand. I grab his hand and kiss it. I smile back and say "I am finally here" and we just smile at each other for a while. He comes down. A male attendant also gets up from another bed. I am surprised he can also see me. My teacher walks outside with me, and we are followed by his attendant, who is acting like a body guard, but not against me, against anyone else we might come across. We enter some kitchen or canteen and my teacher sits on a chair. I am holding his hand still and I lay my head on his lap and wrap my arms around his waist. He suggests I get a chair to and sit, but I hesitate, because I don't want to move. Eventually I agree to get a chair, but then wake up.

#553 - DILD - 11:30PM

Another relatively early lucid. I'm not proud of this one. I was with some woman talking about something I can't remember. I had the thought that I could probably have sex with her but I thought I'll only try it if this is a dream. I don't want to actually cheat on my wife (maybe this is just as bad) plus there are other consequences to it. I do a nose plug and blow through clean. I wasn't all that surprised. I continue to talk but as I do I put an arm around her and get really close. She responds with, "Oh baby." and throws a leg over me.

I'll spare the reader the details but it was a very vivid and realistic experience with some oddities that only happen in dreams. I decide I need to stop for...reasons.

There is a whole non lucid segment where my wife walks in with the obvious drama attached. Guilty conscious I guess.

I had a lucid with all the old crowd from my twenties. We walked to a point locally that we used to enjoy. We looked from the Train Depot down to see Ann Morrison Park but new construction had blocked the view. Oddly enough their were old people with us, maybe it meant that the kids we were are getting old. We were apparently taking acid as I was aware that the drugs should be kept concealed from the old people. We moved up hill a bit and could see into the park. the scene changes and we are on a farm road near perhaps a water tower. Dave is having trouble and says he can no longer handle more than a half dose. We talk about his mental illness and how drugs can not possibly be good for him. I decide to distract him by mentioning that since it is a dream he can do all sorts of fun things. I demonstrate levitation to him and how I can float forward from the least push with gravity not pulling on me at all.

All the dreams this week weren't good.

Jamie 1

Jamie seemed mad at me. Telling me she's never going to talk to me again... I think I always knew that deep down. But one can hope.

Jamie 2

Some nights later Dreamed I saw her at a bar but she was avoiding me.

Map

I'm looking at map of where I live. There's a road east and west. South is Lethbridge. Under my town is shaded dark red. above the down is a lighter red. There are words describing each shaded region but I forget what. There is an icon on the east end of town it is a face of a native american with a red bandana. He looks sinister and the dream implies he's cursed this region. (IWL, It has been snowy and icy and I have called in at work too much not wanting to drive these roads. This dream was a day before the snowfall, Felt that the drean predicted this???)

Don't drive

One one of the days I was going to go to work (but called in anyway) I had a series of dreams of dogs biting me and people fighting me.

Dream 1

I was in my house and a bunch of dogs that looked like my dog were trying to bite me. I had a razor and cut on of the dogs legs. It yelped and started bleeding everywhere on it's hind leg. Asuka and maybe data were there I asked them for a rage and something to tie it with to stop the bleeding.

Dream 2

Someone was on the front end of my house with a gun. I was in a garage behind a white van. I got a peek at the intruder and aimed my pistol or something at him. I shot him and it hit.

Dream 3

I was fighting someone on stairs. It was Gary, a friend from childhood who ignores me now. I Was hitting him with some pole and he stopped trying to fight me after he fell down the stairs. I asked, "Are you done?" He said, "Yes." I asked him "Why don't you talk to us anymore?" He looked shocked. I said, "I don't even do drugs or drink hardly at all." And he still looked shocked and seemed to be considering what I was saying. Then I woke up.
After I woke up I found that the rods that were clear before were snowy and icy again...

Dark Hogwarts

I was getting off the Hogwarts express with a bunch of children in cloaks. I was young like them. Everything was so dark even with the lights, it was nightime nd I couldn't see much. I saw the Cone shapes of the tops of the Hogwarts towers as I was walking along but coult still barely see them.

This lucid went on long enough that I have totally forgotten the things in the first half. I do remember that I got kind of bored with flying around randomly and decided to work on a task or come up with some sort of challenge. I remember that the TOTY is about superheroes and that sort of stuff but not any details. Oh well, I will wing it and have a grand superhero adventure maybe meeting one of the goals by happen stance. I find myself in a space station but remember almost nothing of that. I take an escape pod and fall to earth. It lands in Jefferson school field, and I get out. A van full of superheroes pulls up and Nick Fury gives me instructions, criticizes me and offers me some shrimp dishes. I take a couple types but never really ate them. Next i walk into the headquarters for our group. It is worth noting that i am now not the spider man type I was in the first dreams. I am instead sort of a DR. Strange hero. The headquarters has a grand entry with lots of marble, stairs, glass, displays and a woman who talks to me as if she is giving me instructions and explaining something. I explore on a second level (forgot lots here) eventually it has transformed into more of a shopping mall, and I am not positive I am dreaming. I RC by using TK to pull mittens off a display. A DC of my sister asks how well I really have it together if I have trouble remembering that I am in a dream and mocks me a bit.
Eventually me and a team of heroes are dropped from space into the compound of a super villain. We are immediately taken captive by Guys who look like COBRA guards from GI Joe. I notice the team leaders are not with us. I decide my mission is to find and free them. I use a spell to look like a old butler and use this to get close to a guard. I whisper a spell and it nails his head to a post with a vine and smoke comes out in little wisps. I find my way to an open courtyard and spy from above. I see the super villain's wife and bodyguards and a ninja villain. She just seems to be gardening. I move along to the mansion and levitate up to see inside. There are three guys and 3 young naked women having a party. I move along. I decide to go for help. Outside the compound a pretty woman attempts to get me to have sex with her. She is very graphically spreading her legs and pulling me to her. I almost get distracted but remember the bonus task Moonage added about some guy throwing things in your path as a distraction. I get away from what I now know was an illusion this bad guy was using against me. I get back to headquarters and rally the troops. Oddly the troops consist mainly of dozens of "Super Lawyers." We are taking off and I get stuck flying out a window but use my powerful hero bod to stretch the window frame and get out. Me and many, many Super Lawyers fly off and it reminds me of the flying monkeys from Wizard of OZ. At this point my alarm wakes me.

Bought a paper notebook yesterday to keep by my bed. This way I can take notes during the night, which I think is helpful for the earlier dreams. The following is what I wrote during the night: "Couch, tent, airport, East Japan, apples, to be Sol, old dusty Santa Claus". Below is an elaboration.
__________________________________________________ ________________________

Couch

I'm trying to find a place to sleep for the night. There is a couch, with three cushions on it, that I should be able to fit comfortably on...

(maybe part of the same dream) Now I'm in a tent getting ready to sleep. I need to change , at least my shirt. I want to be sure that I can change without people seeing me, and look around to make sure that I'm concealed well enough.

East Japan

We are at an airport. This might have started out being my University campus, but somewhere along the way it becomes an airport. We travel across this place, and arrive at a section called "East Japan". I didn't know that there was an East Japan, but here we are. We go into the building, and my brother and I make some joke about whether people in Japan prefer being called "Japs" or "Nips" [sorry if this offends anyone]. Then we set up a display of some kind. My brother has a display, and I have some construction displayed that I put together. Kind of hard to describe what this thing was - it was small, and had two longish things sticking out.

[Interesting side note - this evening I was trying to see if there were any swimming pools in my area open at night, so I started typing "all night swimming pools". As I started typing "all n-" the Bing search suggestions popped up with "All Nippon Airways" - which is the largest airline in Japan.]

Fragment

We are eating apples from trees. There is a section of the trees that has some tasty apples, but are a little bug-eaten as wild apples often are. I find this spot, but also walk elsewhere. Some other people find this spot too, and refer to it as the - something ["neural center"maybe?] They are referring to decay in the apples and surrounding branches/wood.

To Be Sol

There is a female robot-alien thing. Someone has her held captive. She eventually finds a way to defeat the person holding her captive, but now she is alone against a whole lot of robot-aliens outside the door where she is. It looks like this might be the end. However, she finds that she is able to fight against her enemies. Maybe not defeat them entirely, but they haven't succeeded in defeating her either. They shoot back and forth through the door and around obstacles. They start changing their positions to better shoot and hide. As they do so it becomes apparent that the character of their race is becoming one of war. This isn't necessarily bad, because I think before this they were mostly machines with no identity of their own. Now they are a warlike people. The phrase "this is what it means to be Sol" is present, either in my thoughts or vocalized by someone. Sol is the name of the robot-alien race.

Old Dusty Santa Claus

We take a dog to see Santa. The dog looks a lot like Scooby Doo. When we get to the place where Santa is, we find a mostly empty room with an old, shriveled, dusty Santa Claus sitting in the corner. He is bent over, with his head mostly in the bag of toys, as though he is rummaging around trying to find a present. This is a lot less glamorous than we were expecting, and I don't even know if this is Santa or just an animatronic decoration. There are people in the next room that seem to be having a nice time, with nice looking presents. We go over to visit the old Santa, and I think the dog is sniffing at the bag/Santa expectantly for a present. Santa doesn't say anything, and might not even notice our presence. It's like he's gotten too old and senile to be particularly aware of his surroundings. Or else he's still rummaging in his bag trying to find a present. It seems a little pathetic.

Something is brought into the room, temporarily obscuring our view of Santa. It's like a rack of luggage or something. When it passes, Santa is gone! We don't know where he went, but we wonder if maybe he got inside the luggage and left. This situation strikes me as being really funny, and I wake up laughing [it still amuses me to think about].

The detail of my dreams (or dream recall) appears to be improving. I'm remembering things people say more frequently. There also seems to be more variety and depth to my dreams. This might be related to my conscious effort to pay more attention to people in my waking life, decreasing my medication, sleeping better, dream journaling, or just paying more attention to my dreams in general.

Some scenes

Sherlock Holmes…

Someone that appears to be Jesus is talking to a little girl who is going to Church. He refers to her Bible and says “just don’t hurt anyone with it”. This makes sense to me, since some people seem to misuse Christianity and hurt others. But later, this character seems to be studying a Bible and not understanding all of it. We wonder how it is that He wouldn’t understand His own Book. So maybe this wasn't Jesus?...

Visiting Uncle D--. He is getting old, but he seems to be doing pretty well health-wise. We're at the top of a staircase.[note: this Uncle passed away a few weeks ago and I attended his funeral)...

Using the bathroom in the basement of my old house. My Dad goes downstairs and asks me what I’m doing. I guess I’m embarrassed to tell him that I’m using the bathroom, so I say “I’m filming a horror movie. It will be the 2nd scariest movie ever made!”

My Dad says “OK, have fun,” or something like that. I feel a little guilty for lying to him...

A woman with a wooden leg. Actually, it looks like this leg has been fashioned out of a table leg. She seems to be walking around on this better than her old artificial leg though...

[note: I quickly made some notes on my dreams when I woke up, so the following might be a little difficult to understand. I think it's all part of one dream. I feel as though there were a lot more to this.] Pastor D--, ruins (tunnel?), house, they’re trying to get people to leave the house so that they can look for the treasure. Something sci-fi. Another planet perhaps? But something happened during the Middle Ages, at which time treasure was hidden...

Cat…if you interact with the cat you learn something, I think…

[note: this part is me making notes now from the fragments that are occurring to me. Again, it might not be very coherent.]

Building...don't go outside?...Carriage in the canal. Overturned. Carriage is now canoe-like. Bodies beneath the carriage/boat...

...bodies, I think [what about them?] People dressed in historic clothing...

12/1: It's the Showcase round on The Price Is Right, however, like the latest edition of the video game, Decades, the top winner and runner-up podiums are switched, TW on the left, RU on the right. Drew Carey reads the actual retail price of the Showcase of the player on the left, revealing that he had overbid. He reads the ARP of the player on the right's Showcase, an attractive brown-haired girl, and she ends up winning about $45,000+ in cash and prizes; apparently both of them had a good day in the episode. The scene after the Showcase reveal made no sense, but I do remember George Gray (the announcer on my country's version since Season 39; got the job permanently in April 2011) announcing a line similar to Jeopardy! long-time announcer Johnny Gilbert (a legendary game show announcer now in his 90s) since mid-Season 38 (currently) of that show, "From the famous Bob Barker Studio in Hollywood, this is George Gray speaking for The Price Is Right, a Fremantle production!"

A scene later, I find myself in the passenger side of what appears to be my dad's car, parked in front of a shopping center with what appears to be other cars with numbers in the upper-left corner of their windshields, likely tuners, but nobody was inside. Skies were overcast as well. This scene reminded me of dreams I had in 2012 where I was sitting in the passenger side of a car and random things happened.

12/3: Students, likely middle to high school-age, were walking with their backpacks in the street that looked eerily similar to the road that leads to my apartment. In reality, there's a community center and a multipurpose center nearby. L.L. Bean was the manufacturer of some of the backpacks, as those were the ones with the wearer's initials on the top, as I saw a lot of students in middle school with these. I didn't see any of these in high school, however. The dream then focuses on a student's backpack with the initials "LEK", a female. I didn't get to see the rest of the dream play out as my alarm clock buzzed and my phone vibrated.

(That kinda explains why I have a Google Images tab up in Firefox searching for the L.L. Bean backpacks with the students' initials on them since this morning.)
