Overslept, to make up for recent under-sleeping.10 - 11 hours. Definitely woke up with low blood sugar.
Found myself in what I thought was the house I grew up in (and that I've been visiting often lately), but it seemed to be now inhabited by, instead of my dad, and brother and sister in law and neice (the latter 3 who in Real Life re-located to another house in the same town), a couple whom I follow via fb and lj friends lists. IE, I know them in that I've met them multiple times, but don't know them well. They were there, in the kitchen, and apparently had some friends over as well. I daresay there was some amusement at my bemusement. I eventually went upstairs to find my dad (ie, where was he living, in this house, now that this change had occured?). I found him snuggled, sleeping, in a bed in the space that had been the bedroom of my two brother, growing up. A bit hesitatnt (as he needs his sleep), I nevertheles eventually woke him. He stirred, then got up and moved about the room. He was...a bit different from his current state, though. For example, his white hair was now below waist-length. He's expressed a wish recently to grow it long enough to put in a pony-tail (which it stubbornly refuses to do, perhaps a function of his age), but in the dream, I noted to myself that this now seemed to be a bit over-kill (hair down to one's butt). He also seemed more happy or amused than usual. (Which in the context of the dream, I again found a bit unusual, given his understandable lower mood since his becoming a widower).
Found myself outside somewhere, watching a complicated sporting event. It may have been being 'broadcasted' or at least observed by many bystanders. It seemed to be a form of relay race, where racers had to be prepared to coordinate with others, perhaps passing something on, though this seemed a tad more complicated than your usual relay race. For example, those handing off had to be fairly evenly 'matched' in ways which may have included strength / body weight. I seemed to see where one fellow handed off to a woman, who then had to (I think) carry a 'handicap' as she started on her segment. She seemed to start off on her way, carrying this silver object which may have been a weight. I think that one was due to the body weight difference, and there was a brief delay while those organizing the race made sure this was set up properly. There seemed to be a lot of participants lining up to be ready to go when it was their time, as if this was a pretty brisk event. I seemed to be hanging around, watching one guy who was heavily involved in running / monitoring the event (hence why I noticed the activities of the people who where lining up to be about to go).
Some situation where I seemed to run into my best chum from undergrad. IE, she was around. Some gathering with people, but not as clear what the scenario was, as the other segments I remember.
EE meditation: no
Biphasic sleep: no
Waking for pit stops: yes. 12:55 am, and woke early, ahead of the alarm, at 4:38 am.
