Some Weirder than usual dreams. Some of this may have come from sleeping on my back initially (usually a side-sleeper), and/or some possible low blood sugar. Was one of those 'Am I one of the characters or am I watching this' confusing POV dreams.
Seemed to be watching / participating in the Mad Max Fury Road storyline (which I've heard a lot about but haven't yet seen). Except it seemed to be the Mel Gibson Max, not Tom Hardy. Also, initially, I saw a 'scene' (as if getting a 'preview') of Furiosa getting 'eaten' by a ginormous robot/mecha (of which there are none in any Mad Max movie - so, this plot confusion between Mad Max and, I dunno, some Terminator type movie I guess). It wasn't literally eating her as much as grabbing her up and she was tumbling down its tentacle or foot and might have been about to fall inside or some such. I went icck in a 'What an icky ending' kind of way.
Next scene though this hadn't happened yet - and I seemed to be 'playing' Furiosa now. Max and I were on a rooftop, and he used a small detector tool (almost sonic screwdriver-like) to scan something he sensed lurking near the building. It may have been a 'portal', possibly opening, but I quickly noticed (or he told me) there was a ginormous robot/mecha there.
Next scene, we were inside the building, apparently trying to hide from the hostile mecha. We were in a little room (that reminded me of the first-floor bathroom of the house I grew up in), but we were stuck for the moment as there was only one egress. If we moved around too much, we'd be easy to detect, etc. We may have been trying to hide in the tub, because I realized that Max was trying to tell me something (I was lying in the bottom of the tub). Finally, something of the meaning got through to me (was it verbal, or not?): 'Air is your best friend', and I finally understood: He wants me to hyperventilate, as we're going to hold our breath and go underwater to fool the mecha outside into thinking we're dead/not there anymore. Possibly being in cold water would hide our heat signatures, too. So, despite thinking to myself that I hated doing this type of thing (holding my breath for a long time), I hyperventilated, and started holding my breath (at least for a while). Then I started breathing again, and wondered if it had worked.
No EE meditation
No biphasic sleep (though 2 wakings for pit stops) - one 1 amish and one 5 amish.
