Went to bed at 3:45am. Feeling tired, mildly restless in my mind, a feeling of longing, sore right knee. Kind of a positive mood.
8:18am
(these dreams are mostly in order, i think)
1. It was nighttime, summertime. The setting was a rural area, possibly a farm, or a small, industrial area. There were some small warehouses or big garages. Long, rectangular-shaped buildings with nothing really inside. I was facing off against or interacting with someone who was, or who was dressed like Darth Vader. He wasn't quite as imposing as the real (or regular?) Darth Vader. It wasn't clear to me if he was playing a game or was serious, but he made as if to fight me. He and i both had lightsabers and i was inside one of the big garages, with only one entrance/exit, and he was stalking around outside the building. I don't for certain recall the colour of our lightsabers, but i'm pretty sure he had a red one and i'm mostly sure i had a blue one. The colours may have changed from red to blue, but i forget. He seemed a bit crazy, and it was somewhat scary, but not fully. Then either he left and someone else came, or Vader morphed into another character who wanted to fight. This next person was an "indie rocker" type of fellow and had a long weapon that looked like an elaborate tv antenna and/or weather vane with dangly pieces of jewelry on the end. We "battled" a bit.
The next three dreams all had the same outdoor, overcast afternoon lighting.
2. Afternoon of an overcast. Lots of light, but diffused through the clouds. I was at a friend's birthday party in the Exchange District downtown with artsy people i know and other people i know loosely. We were all given various accoutrements and expected to dress up in funky costumes. We also were given various hose-type things, and then went swimming in a huge lake (couldn't see the far shore), and the hose things were to be used as snorkels. Then there was a friend from high school i haven't seen for a few years swimming too. Before or after getting in the water, i had written a note about making out with the birthday person, but the note was a lie, and i was worried someone would see it before i had a chance to destroy it.
This dream then continued into the next one unbroken.
3. On returning from the swimming expedition, people are getting ready to go home. We are leaving from the Exchange, people all getting on their bikes. I was with a group that was riding down to go over the bridge down Henderson, but then i took a side street over to a street that doesn't actually exist, and may actually have been a duplicate of street we were on, or a street that just connected back to the same one. I was saying goodbye to everybody, and there was also someone from soccer there.
This dream also then continued into the next one unbroken.
4. I was still in the same area downtown, but i was now in an office/commercial building that was also maybe a house. It was very tall for a house (if it was a house), made of red brick, with lots of turrets and chimneys and corners and dormer windows sticking out everywhere. I somehow was inside on one of the top floors and climbing out of one of the windows (i think i went from being on a bike to being up top climbing out of the window). Someone from our band was watching me from inside, or at least was inside, maybe didn't see me, or was down on the ground below, or all three positions. In the dream i first had the impression of weightlessness i do in flying or soaring/leaping dreams and thought i could jump all around outside the building up high without fear of being pulled down to the ground by gravity. That feeling was quickly replaced by the realization that normal gravity was still effective. I was in the middle of jumping from one tower or corner to another when i quickly needed to grab hold of something. The towers, instead of being solid brick, had become very high stacks of books, holding onto which only made them clatter to the ground. The person from our band was making what in the dream was called an EBPT (which i think was basically an EP but with a weird acronym) with songs from their or our previous band's project, and was transferring the tracks to a USB stick (or some other data-storing device). This EBPT would have 17 songs. I was trying hard not to fall down and get hurt or worse. The stacks of books sometimes had other things stacked. For instance, one stack i tried to hold onto had makeup and a jar of patchouli i wear and those things fell to the ground when i tried to hold onto that stack.
10:19am
1. Towards the western end of Portage Avenue, it was wintertime, started in the afternoon, but quickly became night. I was either lost or homeless. I crossed towards a mall, or a restaurant, or gas station diner or some conglomeration of buildings. I went into the place and there was a restaurant and video arcade. I walked around the arcade games with some coins in my pocket thinking i should play something. There were maybe 5-10 other people playing different games. I don't think i knew any of them. Some games were missing screens or just couldn't be played. Specifically, i went to a driving game to play, but there were two consoles, and both had the screen and steering wheel missing. I walked over to the restaurant area to sit down. There was a feeling like i was being sized up or didn't belong or was being judged about something. When i went to the restaurant area some or one of the other patrons was a wrestler and we were introduced (may have been Randy "Macho Man" Savage or someone modeled after him). The people around the counter/bar in the restaurant were all men. Friendly and very "manly" men. A family member is there. Someone looks at my arms when i lean on the counter and says i am very muscley and then corrects what they meant and says, "Rock hard, sinewy." There is dim lighting in the place.
2. I am at a small family gathering, just immediate family, at my parents'. It's a bright summer's day, late afternoon, green trees, green grass. My mom gave me a platter of hors d'oeuvre to take outside and eat, which i did. I went and sat among the trees/bushes in the garden, and looked at the house while eating. Although in real life i'm vegetarian, in the dream i ate some shrimp that was on the platter, and i don't think i gave any notice to the fact that it was meat. During the gathering, most/everyone was worried about another family member who was not doing well and was at the gathering. The sick family member had drawn on their face a picture of a man and woman and an accident (or, a man and woman in an accident). I am reminded to save them 5 pieces of shrimp. People aren't sure what to do. I go inside to see other people who are sitting at the dining room table and when they see my face they giggle/smile because apparently the sick family member also drew on my face, but i am calm about it, or i know or let them do it.
3. Either this was another dream or it was the image given to me at the point when someone said what the sick family member drew on their face. It was a dream, or an image about an accident on the highway in summertime very close to, or just beneath an overpass. A semi trailer and cab were wrecked up.
