02:00 ? bedtime. Kids were in our room doing a skype chat with an old friend really late

07:26

1) animated cartoon race looks like sidescroller video game small cartoon characters one walking one on a bike/trike, they're moving from right to left, I watch for a few seconds and am amused. I think it's funny that the girl passes the boy and wins. Sitting at a table, the cartoon race boy is JoSa, the girl is his sister, I'm sitting at a table with a bunch of other children and JoSA, I ask him "How is your sister, anyway?" He had trouble speaking/answering, he was embarrased, he spoke French? A little. His sister I understood didn't like something about the world.

Looking closely at JoSa, I focus up close on his left eye. It is very large with strange streaks of orange. The eye is looking around, it sort of has a chameleon look to it. There is a huge strange red area between his eye and his nose, even larger than the large eye area, filled with red capillaries running back and forth from top to bottom (like refridgerator coils).
Children eating around the table, the subject of money comes up. I say "math is really tricky, how did you do on the exams?" One kid has apparently earned drug money, he has a fistful of bills, his mother comes up and takes it, he can't have the money "because Jesus did not touch the money."

The kid are trying to forge some forms. They're filling out the forms with their childlike block capital letters, I see the letters, they're obviously written by children, I think this forgery will never work.

2) bad grandmother, was pounding the poor grandchild all around, roughly placing the child on the ground. The GM put the child inside even though there was nice weather outside, something about "warming up" but I know that it ridiculous because it's very warm outside. The grandfather always watched to make sure the GM didn't hurt the child. The GM told the GF "oh you can never do anything," and the GF answered because he has to stay and watch her.

3) UL (lake) Indian battles. We're standing in a high overview looking down on a bunch of Indians, we shoot a volley of arrows at them, this causes them to start chasing us, they're mad that we shot the arrows at them. This was at the main boy scout campsite. You can't outrun the Indians, they're going to catch us and probably skin us, it's going to be bad. It turns out the main campsite was some sort of sacred ground and the Indians would not enter this area, that's why the scouts chose this place for the camp. I'm trying to climb up some rocks in the camp.

4) tractor battle. I'm driving a large vehicle with high clearance like a truck. I'm trying to get back to the main road which is right ahead, but I'm currently on a sandy/soft-earth area and I'm trying to find a path to the paved road but I can't. I'm moving forwards and reverse several times. I then realize the enemy has constructed a moat all around the truck and there is no path to the road. I hit the edge of the moat and the truck almost flips over forwards, it goes up to about 70-80 degrees before falling back down. I see some metal girders buried under the sand in the moat. Then the enemy rushes the truck, and I jump out to fight. Some come over to my side and are trying to construct a bridge over the moat made out of garden lounges, they make a high bridge, I doubt they will hold the weight of the truck.

F1) I'm returning somewhere with a group, I stop to eat in a cafeteria, there's a guy at a table behind me eating his own lunch.

F2) on a country road, looking down the lane, then there's a tomato vine that grows several feet per second. I support it with my hands as I watch it grow farther down the road, I see the little tomatoes forming, someone is quizzing me about the length to which it will grow.

07:37 BTB

long time hovering on the edge of sleep, at least 2 hours. Lots of dreamlets, some perhaps dreams forming. Tried a WILD on back at one point. Gave up after a while. Some external disturbance, but never waking up much. Did not get up out of bed despite long to-sleep time because I felt that manging this balancing on the edge of sleep was important for lucid dreaming: for LDing, one is on the sleep side of this edge, while I was on the awake side last night, hoping to transition over.

F3) watching a small orchestra playing without a conductor. I look to the side and see my brother-in-law lying on the ground under a table, sleeping. I think that makes sense, he's tired. I see someone else also lying partly under the table (my father) but his feet are protruding out past the end of the table.

5) standing in line at an attraction/ride. I'm near the front of the line, my younger son is playing on the ground in front of me. I shoot a rubber band at the ground in front of him. We start shooting rubber bands at each other for a while, one hits me hard in the chest area and I say "Hey don't give me a heart attack!" The attraction is in a building out on the water, and we're waiting for the shuttle boat. I move forwards in the line and rest my right arm on a counter. There are peoole behind me in the line. My wife is concerned we won't make it back in time because we have to go somewhere. I figure we indeed probably will not make it, since once out on the water we will be unable to return without the boat, currently the time is 07:45 (?) and the attraction is probably at least a couple of hours.

Walking on a road past a building, I go in, it's a huge chinese banquet/buffet meal. The staff are finishing setting the places and starting to bring out the food. There are many tables set with many plates. I'm walking around looking at the tables. The guests have not started arriving yet in big numbers. A few are sitting down to eat. I think I better grab a plate soon before everybody else arrives, there are a few dishes on the tables already. I can't find a plate, I see some serving platters, that's not a dish I can use. I see a place setting with a plate and I take the plate and put some food on it from some of the dishes served already. My plate is floppy like a paper plate it's hard to keep it from collapsing. I maneuver around a server bringing a big plate of food. I sit down to eat, I start to eat, I look down at my plate I see it with food up close, I realize this is a dream and I slowly wake up...

...but not very much, I think briefly about the dream but I'm not very awake, and I fall asleep again...

6) ... and wake up in a luxurious fluffy huge hotel room entirely in white (with no memory of prior dream at this point). There is lots of furniture around: couches, beds, everything is white. I'm alone, looking for family, don't know where they are, I was sleeping on a fluffy white comfortable couch with white comforters. I go through a door it is into an adjoining room which is darker, I'm confused, I say "Huh, What!?" I look around the room, there's nothing in it. I return to the original room and go out through another door. It looks like the main room door of a hotel room, lots of throw bolts / slide locks. I enter into the banquet room (of previous dream), there is a maid cleaning with a large vaccuum cleaner, and some people farther along to the left are sitting down to a buffet breakfast, I look down and see I'm wearing my tattered "comfy shorts", I'm embarrased about them and go back into the room to change into my sweatpants.

I see in a sumptuous luxurious sleeping area with wafting white gauze curtains my sons lying in bed. Older son is to the right and covered and asleep, younger son is to the left and uncovered and awake, my wife has prepared a breakfast tray for him the tray is with him in bed. His face is underneath a large couch rectangular cushion (held above his face by the
couch, not resting on it) whicih is screening the light from his face, he's asking my wife for a blueberry muffin.

This is my first recognized dream exit, dream re-enter sequence.

10:39 BTB

drowsing on and off for several hours.

14:00

F4) thanks (sarcastic) for hiding the refugees in cells with the masses, for telling them it's safer to mingle with the groups, the corrupt immigration officials are managing them, they've been slaughtered. All you have to do to get back to the other group is declare yourself to be a "dikta". A guy then looks at a girl and says "I'm a dikta"and she says "OK" and pushes him over to the other side.

F5) going to church climbing over fence in a stone ampitheatre. Walking up the rows there is a photographer. He says he likes to take pictures of women when they're sitting down because you get lots of detail, there are a number of young women sitting down bottomless, their privates are visible.

There's a guy hiding in a hidden area with a small window, up above the sitting area, he's chatting up a woman in the audience area, he's trying to pick her up, she has a clever reply, he comes out he's a nondescript guy in his 30's with bumpy face and a thin mustache.

Probably spent at least 4 hours not sleeping between to-bed and final waking time, so it's probably just 8 hours of sleep altogether.
