Busy, busy dream night. Woke feeling like sh*t warmed over - possible low blood sugar dreams, which tend to be nasty. And/or basic exhausting over-dreaming.
Travel dreams. Included being in an airport, waiting in line or else loitering near such a line. Wasn't clear to me whether I was with a group or not. I started poking through this bin of 'lost shoes' that travelers had somehow left behind (it wasn't a huge box, but was pretty full). Found this pair of Vans 'boots', which looked cool and comfortable, but, as it turned out, had holes /splits in them, so I disappointedly put them back, realizing now why the unknown traveller had discarded them. Some young person nearby in line asked me something (as if hoping that I knew something, having been there longer), but I had no answer for him. I seemed to depart this place soon after, perhaps with travelling companions after all. may have been raining or a threat of rain. Possible travel on public transport.
Another rather more stressy scenario had me in a residential building where, suddenly, with no obvious cause (ie, I certainly didn't start it), this toxic-looking (looked a bit like antifreeze - an unnatural flourescent green) goop was literally eating away at the wooden floor, as I watched in disbelieving horror. I called an acquaintence (a friend of a friend) for help, and I realized my eldest brother was heading home, too. I was rather flustery and possibly not very helpful (as if this was entirely outside my field of expertise). Not sure how/if this was resolved, but help had arrived as of the end of my recall of this.
Was with at least a few other people (one male, one female), being chased by mutant cannibal demon/orc types. As we arrived at a building, one of us jumped off a horse/pony, telling it to run off to safety. (Alas, as I found out later, through that common 'you suddenly just know it' manner of dreams, the orcs found it and presumably ate it: 'Time for a snack, boys'.) Anyway, we fled into the building, where, after passing through several basementy areas (pulling doors shut and/or locking them if possible, to slow up our pursuers), we found the secret room with the secret round ship thingy with a porthole that would take us to Oz. We got inside, secured it, and were, presumably, safe to leave. I got the impression that the orcs arrived shortly, with human prisoners (children) in tow, who would probably be 'played with', then eaten too.
Then, an apparent 'reprise' of the above scenario, but this time I seemed to be on my own, and couldn't locate the travel sphere, as I'll call it. At least two times tried to escape though the same or a similar building (as if alternate realities/worlds) on my own, closing the doors, trying to latch them, but ultimately finding no sphere.
Although I seemed to, eventually, end up elsewhere, in a street - apparently a normal 'street scene' in a pleasant urban area. People outside at a cafe, pedestrians passing in the street, that sort of thing. The opposite of the 'being chased by mutant cannibals' scene. Someone, a female, who seemed to give off a 'cop' ambiance, stopped nearby me (concenred, not a threat) where I was sat on the curb, as I tried to get my bearings. I already felt safer, though - if mutant cannibal orcs barged in here, they would not go unnoticed/unchecked.
No EE meditation done
No biphasic sleep - 4:15 am pit stop waking
Exercised last night in the gym for the first time in a loooong time
