This is my personal dream journal. You are invited to explore it for any value you may extract. My primary purpose is to have a place to record my dreams that I can not lose (like one of my hard copy journals). I also want to share how I organize and notate my dreams to facilitate a conversation on ways to improve dream recall, dream interpretation and the lucid dreaming experience.

Clueless While Driving with Boss' Boss
I am driving and negotiating sophisticated car lane control devices. They are mechanical and look like cattle shoots with control levers inside them. The one in the middle looks like a lane, but is only housing additional equipment. I figure them out and proceed.
I am now back at them with my Boss' Boss. The devices are partially deconstructed it takes me a minute to realize they are in the process of being removed. My boss starts to fool with them, but I intervene and we get on our way.
I begin to talk about something relating to my immediate supervisor, but cannot remember his name. I cover my near disastrous mistake by saying boss. I realize that if my passenger had any clue how completely disconnected from my job he would fire me.
Note: No big mystery what this dream is telling me. Get focused.

Ongoing Criminal Enterprise
Police chase: I am part of a street gang. The police have come as the result of some graphic violence. I may have been involved hands on. I am now feeling scared yet clever for eluding the police and observing the complex street scene from an elevated observation point. Like on the fire escape of a building.
Upholstered toilet: I am now at home where the gang lives. There is a nondescript leather chair that has been converted into a toilet. Pooping in the device seems to have gone well, but there is several inches of pee that has pooled in the bottom of the chair and I am contemplating how to empty it out.
Choosing airplanes: I am a young teenager and am playing with a regular playmate. We may be related. We are trying to decide which model of airplane we are going to get out to play with...actually fly. We are getting one for each of us. We choose a WWII single pilot fighter. We know they are very valuable and rationalize that we get older there will be younger kids who can then play with them. We know we may get in trouble, but the risk seems low and well considered.

Dog Fight in Hostile Territory
Jimmy and I get out with Rory and Roxie. We know we are potentially in a very bad situation. Here comes 2-3 of the men we hate. They are much bigger than us an so are their dogs.
I grab two dogs and keep them from fighting. The leader of the group contemplates letting his dogs kill ours. I jump in his face yelling at him to stop. He is much taller than me, but I am being much more aggressive. I am so aggressive I draw blood from his face and chest. I push him back thru a barrier and there are hundreds of people, all enemies, watching now.
I scream in his face, I would rather die than lose my dog.
I wake in full fight mode.
Notes: Viscerally extremely angry when I wake.

Wealthy vs Uber Rich
I am in someone's house who is obviously very well off. I am spending time primarily with the husband. My role is unclear, I may be working foe him, I may sell insurance. The house feels like a upper middle class home from the 1950s.
We are now going to another home and I am supposed to casually get to know people and create some business opportunities. I feel way out of my league and have no idea even how to join a conversation.
I notice the amazing decorating style that the artistic Uber Rick woman of the house has created for the gathering. There are loose fern prions strewn around the marble floors. It looks effortless and natural. Like you are visiting Mount Olympus.
We are now back in the first home and apparently the group is planning on shifting it's location here. The wife is frantically trying to recreate a similar feel in her home. Hired house staff are taking rapid orders and making a literal mess of things. I notice one scrubbing at a stain just made in the carpet. I walk into another room and the random natural decorations are so cramped in the much smaller rooms that you can't get by them. I feel sad for the wife trying to re-create a sense of style that is completely beyond her.
Notes: I woke feeling disoriented in my own life. I am acutely aware that even members of my own family are living in completely different worlds. Largely based on how we see money and religion and world view.
