Night of Sunday 4/6/25 Tariffs: I'm in a banquet-type place. Some coworkers and friends from highschool are there. I have a Samsung folding phone and take a picture of a chandelier. The chandelier has the word "TARIFFS" written on it. It will be knocked down soon, and the group is celebrating. I'm jealous of somebody there who I think is going after my girlfriend. Bad Host: I'm hosting a party and I'm unprepared. My house looks like my friend J's from my childhood. My friends from the Tot group are coming soon. I have a huge house and yard. The Maze: There is a girl I met at the banquet, and we are in a maze. The maze is similar to the game "Doom". I get Rick-Rolled at one point. There is a helicopter piloting overhead as I have an allergic reaction to something. Night of Monday 4/7/25 Roadtrip I'm on a roadtrip through the desert with my Dad. We've pulled over so I can pee on the side of the road. There are many tiny scorpions around my feet...and I'm barefoot. ... I'm at the hotel later and I find a big black scorpion in my pants. It jumps out, and flips weirdly onto a dresser nearby. A second scorpion leaps from my underwear next to the other one. Fragment I'm driving with my friend BM from childhood through our childhood neighborhood. Taking Her Place I'm at a hospital in a bed there. I'm talking about my various joint overuse injuries.

Sleep: 12:28AM-11AM (10hr32m) Detail: 107 words. I had a lot of success last night using the morning nap method with 7 hours initial sleep time and about 20 minutes wake time. I'll be testing the same parameters today. Since I didn't really have a plan before here is what I will attempt: 1 - The Pre-Flight Check: I will use the acronym EVM (Engage-Verbalize-Memory) to help recall what I need to do at the start of lucidity. 2 - Change Text: I want to see if I can change text into something specific, the same way I practice RCs all the time. 3 - Teleport using a screen or door. Pre-WBTB I-Beams: I'm at my brother's house with some others. We're watching him play a computer game in the office. My Dad arrives and it is a bit of a surprise. We hadn't expected him to show up this soon. They discuss that the weak point in the roof is up in the top-left corner from where we are. My Dad talks about how he had to make an extra I-beam to reinforce the area. My brother talks about how that area is the most likely to cave in and drop stones. I reflect about how terrifying it would be to have stones fall in from a broken roof. Post-WBTB No recall... boo!
Guilt: I'm at a small apartment. Area seems like a winter version of the California ocean walk. I'm getting a facetime call from my uncle J and my sister M. They are just outside the door. I am feeling guilty about not letting them in. But then I justify my action, wondering whether they are being fair. Puzzle: I'm at a playscape with my brother. There is a puzzle we need to work out. Working our way up. There is a third person in our group, and we are leaving them hints as we figure it out. They are just behind us in the puzzle progression. Fragment: Something about Grandma’s house and her basement. Odd feeling.

Alien Invasion: I'm at my old high school at night getting an astronomy tour. There is a man giving a tour of the sky. There is a red/square looking constellation that is two parts orbiting each other called Romeo and Juliet. It looks awesome. I notice it getting closer. Start to see detail. Fiery pyramids. Closer. I can see texture. Space ships, not stars. I joke that we are about to be invaded. They stop moving and are now hanging in the air just 100 yards or so away. They are big and there are more now. I’m stuck by fear. I tell my girlfriend we have to go. She’s paralyzed with fear. I see little bipedal creatures with weapons descending from the red pyramids. WE HAVE TO GO! I try to shake her out of it and succeed. We start running toward an open set of double doors. The aliens open fire, and I notice there is an army on the ground and still more descending. The rate of fire indicates we wont make it. I slow down so I don't leave her behind. The bullets are smaller slimy alien babies being shot out headfirst. It is rapid fire. My girlfriend is hit before she reaches the door. I slow down and approach her to help her get up. Backstage: I'm at a party, but backstage. It looks significantly less fancy than the venue outside. more stone and base features. There is a famous band backstage playing World of Warcraft with us. The lead signer is Guy Fieri. I find a WoW combat tutorial video, and raw music mp3 files. I think it is cool.
Lost: I'm at a party with some family. It's a surprise visit, and I'm annoyed that I didn't get a heads up. We're in a small-ish apartment, with a big crowd filling it up. There are some puppies, one of them is an Aussie. There is some texting mix up with K, so they think my girlfriend is pregnant. ... I'm outside now in a questionable looking street. There is a cartoon character doing voices walking down the street. One of them is Peppino from Pizza Tower. I'm with my coworker J, and we have taken on a life of crime. We're going to sell some stolen things at a pawn shop. It's a small place on a corner, similar to a gas station but even tinier. I'm feeling nervous that we'll get caught, and also jealous that J has better stuff to sell. He has electronics while I have toiletries. ... I'm looking for my girlfriend's Dad at a library. It has at least three levels to it. There is a science show happening in a main hall. I'm annoyed that I can't find him. He is super social, and I wonder about natural versus unnatural extraversion.
Jealous: I'm at a bowling alley or arcade type building. I came with my girlfriend, but she keeps leaving me to meet up with some of her friends from college. This time, she has been gone a long time. I get a video feed on my phone showing some guys getting too close to her. I feel very jealous and angry. I have my spartan blanket and I'm on a rollerblade floor. I see a guy who seems scared, and I tell him whatever he is going through, it can't be as bad as me, and that he will be OK. ... I'm racing in a Halloween-themed racetrack. It has many branching paths, and eventually transitions into a Christmas course. There is a fairy that is helping me find secrets in the track, and allowing me to fall down slowly to reach areas I shouldn't be able to. It feels like Mario Kart. One of the secrets is a hidden bar. I land on a snowy street and find my girlfriend with someone at the bar.
Open Heart Surgery: I'm on a surgery table in what looks like a sunroom. I'm having open heart surgery and I am awake for it. Doctor is a younger guy and I am terrified. He seems very casual about what he is doing. At one point there is a break, and I'm told to go walk around. I emerge from the room into a Kohl's clothing store. My Dad, sister, and brother are there waiting for me. I feel a pain in my chest, it feels real.
Before WBTB Ghost Data: I'm playing N64 with brother. It's Mario Kart. We're playing against ghost data, trying to win against difficult race times. They had been set by Youtube streamers. He hands a controller to me and it is sweaty and coated in Cheeto dust. My brother couldn't beat them, but when I try I start doing well. This excites me. After WBTB Time Travel: I'm floating in the air above a living room setup in what may have been JH's basement from my childhood, it's a tense situation. There's a limited time to make a time travel portal work, or else we will the stuck. There is a thin grocery bag tied around my leg, that needed to go into the portal. But I'm all jumbled up and can't get my body to move the way it needs to. I pull off the trick, and then I see a potential future. It involves an alternate version of my Dad, but then it stabilizes into the current version. I'm through the portal, fall face first onto the floor. A girl says "Oh we don't mind this guy!" The world has been saved. Road Trip: I'm in a neighborhood waiting in the backseat of a big car. It's a family road trip. My Dad's friend has offered to drive us with his car on the trip. Something is wrong with the car though, so we are waiting around. My Dad, Mom, My brother, his wife, her Grandpa, my sister, nephew, niece, Grandma and some others are there. Eventually, the car gets running, but somebody had stepped out of the car. We start driving to go to where he is. I roll down the window and say "GET TO DA CHOPPA!" He looks like J from high school marching band. He fits into the car, but now it is pretty cramped. I'm curled into a ball shape to fit between the seats near the back. My brother and sister are fighting about something, and eventually my brother comes to hang out in the back with me. My parents give him some shit about getting along and my brother says "nah it's fine, I'm just the grumpy grandpa!" "Yeah, me too." I say sarcastically. Peace ensues in the back seat. ... We're driving through a mall-area, and my Grandma points out a Chuck-E-Cheese to me. I wonder how old she thinks I am. Eventually we end up at a ninja-themed Barcade, and apparently it has been decided that this is a suitable place for family dinner. There is a girl there that I think is cute, so I'm focused on her. I'm handed some drinks in a plastic bag, some monsters. For some reason I decide to dump water in the bag with the monsters. Later I regret that and find a way to dump the water and just keep one monster. I go behind the bar and do that, and then weasel my way around, apologizing for bumping staff as I go. I found a bathroom, and the girl tells me there is a small one and then a big one for me. I don't know what that means, but I go and find out. The "big one" is a urinal game where you shoot your pee into targets for a score. Apparently somebody can see me and says "Ah, I didn't think somebody would try it...go for it!" I hit some targets, but I don't have that much ammo in me. I resolve to start chugging some monster so that I can be better prepared next time.

Before WBTB Decay: I'm at my childhood home with Robert F. Kennedy on the phone. I'm supposed to pick him up at the airport. I'm telling him about several other stressors that are happening at the moment, getting to why I will be delayed. I'm also supposed to pick up my friend D from somewhere. On the kitchen table, there is a game of Monopoly left out. I arrange the pieces in a funny way anticipating the payoff later when everyone arrives. Looking around the home - it is in disrepair. Dusty and broken. But Oreo, my childhood cat is there. I marvel that she is still alive somehow. She looks like she hasn't eaten in a long time, with her fur all patchy. My Grandma and some others in the group tell me I can't help her and I have to leave. I don't want to leave her alone so I pick her up and bring her home with us. ... Later we are in the driveway, and there are 3 or 4 cars all in it. This makes it difficult to leave. How could I say no to this? After WBTB Mannikin: I'm at my Grandma's current condo. It is late at night and I'm on a couch that is further down the den than it should be. There is a clothing mannikin out near the hallway. It is slowly swaying. I notice that it has a wig similar to my Grandma's on. I worry about the mannikin turning to face me, and then it does. It has two black voids for eye holes, and I understand immediately that my Grandma's soul is trapped in this mannikin. The mannikin falls down and breaks into pieces. I scream, and my girlfriend wakes me up. I hear myself making a weird scream-moan sound. Well, this image exists now. Fragment: I'm with my Grandma and Uncle at a hotel. They are on one bed together and I am on the other. I'm talking about how my girlfriend's family stresses her out all the time.

Before WBTB Science Blaster: I'm in a house that resembles my Grandma's current one. It's an upper floor but it is modeled after the basement. There is some competition going on, related to the Youtube Channel, Game Theory. I realize that I need to take a shower. I notice that there is a queue of people lined up waiting to use the men's bathroom to shower. I thought I noticed my brother in the distance, but when I got closer it is somebody else. I realize now that we are here for auditions of some kind, related to Game Theory. I start to stress out, but I remember that there is another bathroom further away. Maybe there isn't so long a wait there. I leave the hallway through some double doors and end up in a grocery store. I start moving to the right, toward the other end of the store. As I'm walking I stop myself. "Wait a minute...high stress, video games...those are two of my prospective memory targets!" Rather than remember to reality check or question reality, I pull up my phone and look up ways to de-stress. According to dream Youtube, stress is often held in the shoulders, so I try to relax my shoulders. Moving on, I reach the opposite hallway, and see a private area. There is a frame video device that plays the classic Game Theory intro, Science Blaster. I think to myself about how cringe my old intro is. Strangely, I seem to take credit for it. I find a bedroom and a place where I can shower connected to it. ... I'm back in the basement-like area with my sister. I think about how our relationship is strained and maybe I should try to fix it. We are laying together on a beanbag, and she has a laptop open. We are watching a show together. From on top of an entertainment center that isn't there in reality, she opens a secret compartment and reveals a hookah pipe. I tell her: "You know, I just want to say that I know you aren't a drug addict...I think of you as more of somebody who experimented a bit and then unfairly earned a bad rap." This seems to make her happy, and it happened to be the truth, so a strong warm feeling hits the dream. After WBTB Fragment: My parents are fighting about money.

Gamer Course: I'm in a virtual reality simulation based on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I'm excited (maybe a little pedantic) about noticing all the inconsistencies. The hookshot is the wrong color (using the blue OoT sprite). The area is similar to Lake Hylia, which is not in Majora's Mask. ... Later I'm in a warehouse obstacle course, still playing as Link. I'm carrying a hoody, a bow-and-arrow, and a box of donuts. I'm stressed out about trying to carry it all and also perform well in the course. I'm firing disposable plastic teeth flossers as arrows to try and hit targets. I come to a cafeteria-looking area, where there is a group of gamer-people talking about the course. There is some discussion about Facebook games, and somebody who tells a story about playing Playstation 1 with Michael Jackson one time. Lake Hylia in Majora's Mask, apparently. Hookshot is in the only correct position. Fight me. Carport: I'm driving home from somewhere with J and H from the Tots. Eventually we pull into a carport. This carport has appeared in several dreams before, but I don't realize that here. At some point I switch cars and I'm with just J now. There is an old woman between us in the front seat who is trying to type directions into Google Maps on a dashboard touchscreen. She is going slow, but we try to be patient with her. She eventually fails and gives up on it. Now she is an Animal Crossing looking dog-villager outside the car, and we are looking at her from inside the car. J calls somebody else to come are pick her up.

Getting back into the swing of things with a potentially politically inflammatory dream, HUAK TUH! QuestionMark: I'm in a veterinarians' office with a pug-like dog. It has the "blue" fur color. The fur is very soft. The vet tells me that the dog's name is Question Mark. "But don't say it slow, like that. Say it fast like QuestionMark." "Is this puppy a boy or a girl?" "We don't know what they want to be yet." "What do you mean you don't know? Is the dog transgender?" The vet holds up the dog and I see a dick. "That's a boy dog." I say. "THESHIRECAT!" my girlfriend says in outburst. I'm near a hole in the wall, and I see some hands come out to pet QuestionMark. Initially I'm a little freaked out, but I realize they are kids so the creepy behavior is recontextualized into silly kid behavior. Being Around You: I'm at a large grocery store, maybe a cross between a Costco, Home Depot, and my middle school from back home. I'm walking down the hall and I see a small man who seems to have a deformity with his legs. I respectfully give him the space he needs to pass by. Next I come across a happy looking couple. The woman says to the man "I'm happy when I'm with you" as if in response to a question he had asked. I take a moment and think about my girlfriend, and I get a warm and fuzzy feeling. I decide I want to find her and express the same sentiment. I find her checking out the groceries at the register and give her a big hug from behind. I worry for a second she might be uncomfortable with that in public, but she doesn't mind.

Burden: I'm on a hockey team and I know I am the worst player. My hockey stick wont stay together. There is some mechanism to put it together that I can't get my mind around. There is a warmup the team is doing that required eggs. My entire carton was busted, eggs cracked and leaking inside. Then the was an issue with my skates. The coach had to ask another player to help me. I feel useless and like a burden. We eventually make it to the pre-game huddle. The coach calls me out for my bad mobility on the ice. According to him, I struggle to turn around and keep my balance while doing so. I know it is true. I contemplate leaving the team so that I don't drag the team down anymore. Maybe I will practice on my own to reach base level, return, and get my honor back. I wake up feeling defeated.

Moving: A tall and friendly looking man wakes me up by putting his hand over my face. I'm in my childhood home, the room on the left end of the hallway. My girlfriend is with me in the bed. The room is empty apart from our mattress on the floor. I tell the man that normally I would have freaked the fuck out, had he not done the same thing yesterday morning. He also wakes my girlfriend this way. She gets up and starts to get ready right away. I reflect that maybe I should wake her that way due to how effective it was. I go downstairs and I'm now in what I know to be a middle school orientation day. I walk past K and also B from marching band, who tells me a story about his dog and vet, while we ascend an escalator. I get to a dorm-like room that apparently used to be where I stayed, but I am moving out for the next batch of kids. The room is 90% bunk beds, with a narrow path between them. I have a bottle of diet coke on my bed, and the new person has moved it to the top bunk. He has put his coke zero bottle in its place. There is a CRT monitor mounted to the wall, with voice activated ChatGPT. My girlfriend’s mom is there and I want to show her how it works. I ask ChatGPT what color its favorite dragon is. It seems to address the question at first but then rambles off. I justify that this GPT must be modified to be "hip with the kids" or something. The text is hot pink on the readout. My girlfriend’s mom introduces me to a new packaging format for a fruit/protein drink. It is 26oz and basically just two smaller ones merged together. I tell here I should look into this. Oops: I wake up at my current home and realize I can't hold off from going to the bathroom. I reflect that I should lay off the Metamucil. The bathroom is weirdly open to the outside on the right side. It is also my childhood home's bathroom, not my current one. There is more detail to this uh event, but I will not type it out here.

Fragment: I'm laying in bed, and I think there might be a home invader. I can hear noises coming from the kitchen. Fragment: There is a hot-tub car outside that has a mechanism to drain the water and then transition to driving mode. Fragment: My girlfriend's sister and her friends are over at our house eating snacks. They are very loud, so I go over to talk to them. Drastic: I'm at the edge of a city with towering buildings. The buildings abruptly end and transition to dirt. The drastic change reminds me of the border of Thousand Needles and Feralas from World of Warcraft. The whole scene has a grey-ish tone to it. There is a cloaked woman on the other side of a large gate. I know that she is bad, the antagonist. I go to reason with her, and she convinces me to let her in. Her power decreases as I become more confident, and the threat dissolves. Fragment: I'm at a rooftop party with J from the Tots. There are two small dogs on a landing above looking down at us.
