I did a sweep of the area earlier to get an idea of just how many areas the droids were located and it's honestly not a lot, but there are a lot of droids. I took out a few tanks from the sky cause those are probably the ones we really need to worry about. The B1s, the ones honestly aren't that hard to take down. Yesterday BB8 managed to distract a few to give me a chance to pick em off with the Bowcaster I got. That thing is pretty awesome. I can see why it's Chewie's weapon of choice.

I really wish Rey and Finn were here cause I think they could have had a good time taking down some of these guys.

Oh, hey everyone, just a general PSA:

Stay out of the battlefields. The skinny droids are dangerous only in numbers. Individually, they dumb as rocks and easy to fool and destroy. They really aren't well made. There's just a lot of them in the battlefields.

It's the ones that roll that you have to be concerned about. They have shields and canons and they move fast in rolling form. Be careful with them.

I didn't realize I'd been burning the candle at both ends as badly as I have been until I got home tonight - I used my face wash on my hair instead of my conditioner. I didn't even realize the mistake until after I'd done it. I think I need to take a few days off and just relax, maybe take some naps. Take Kurt to the park or the beach.

I'm back not even a week and I'm already hit with a new memory.

It was a nice stint of silence for my brain, but back to the dream grind.

Also, hello, OC.

So. Derek's moved and Lydia is moving too once we graduate. I didn't even know they were thinking about it, but it's pretty much a done deal. Derek already went, and he signed the garage over to me. I don't even know what he was thinking. I can't be trusted near the equipment! I'm just the front desk guy. Maybe he thinks I'll learn to actually repair my jeep instead of patching it up with Duck Tape, but, no, really. I'm just going to patch it up with Duck Tape.

So uh. Anyone who knows something about cars and fixing cars without relying on Duck Tape, want a job? At least I already manage the books and payroll and stuff, and I'm the one who organised the files but...yeah. I have no idea what I'm doing, otherwise.

Ain't none of my dreams been pretty, but this last one was interesting. I told Carl the story about how my mom died, set herself on fire smoking in bed. He told me he shot his mom, ended it before she turned. We got cornered by a lone walker, put it down and it had a knife stuck in its throat. Turned out it was Carol's knife. I sulked off alone, feeling bad for my friend who deserved better, right, and I kicked in a door, and there she was/ Alive, barely. Ain't sure how she survived, but she's a hell of a fighter. I carried her back to where we're living, but that's when I woke up.

With April Fool's tomorrow I've been trying to come up with some fun fake out foods. I found this giant pinterest list - here and I'm definitely working on some of them tonight.

I'm not going to spoil the surprise if any of you stop by tomorrow, but don't trust your eyes.

Alright, so this question is mostly the anyone who has been here for a few years. Next week is April 1st. What are the chances that the same thing that happened last year will happen again? Cause I really don't feel like turning into a woman again. It was interesting, but not something I want to revisit.

I finally understand pet owners. Why they always have so many pictures of their pets. I was looking through my pictures just now and realized that the majority of my camera reel is BB-8. They’re all almost identical, but I realized that I find myself taking pictures of him randomly every couple of days. When did I become such a droid dad?

Someone brought their car into the garage and I'm amazed at the amount of duct tape that was inside the engine. I asked if they had taken any advice from Stiles but the client said that this was all done before making an appointment for service.

I can't believe I have to say this to people other than Stiles but please don't fix your car with duct tape. It's not a good fix and most of the time it just makes the problem worse.

Anyone else excited for three Mars missions landing this month?

Why is it that every bar I go to today has football on. Some of us don't give a shit.

I'm tired of all these dead ends in my research so I took the night off to try and finish building a second radio, trying to repeat the design of the one from my Dreams. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be but I think I'm making progress. I just need to find a soldering iron since mine seems to have gone missing.

I think this is the first time I can say that the post-Christmas blues hit. Hard. Kinda wishing I’d left the lights up longer.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope those celebrating got what they wanted for Christmas.

Seems the dreams decided to give me something too,( though I'm not sure I want it.. )

BB8 is loving the snow. He rolls back and forth, making tracks in the yard. I was worried be might rust if he got wet, but I feel whoever makes droids, in my dreams, probably takes that stuff into account when they make them so he's probably rust proof. Plus we've been to so many different planets with so many different climates, in the dreams, and he's never had a problem, so I'm betting a little snow won't hurt.

Speaking of my dreams, I've recently gotten both, my flight helmet and the outfit I've been wearing in my recent dreams. I've got to say, I love getting stuff from my dreams. I mean, I've gotten some pretty awesome things, so how could I not love it?

Is it me or are there some seriously dedicated people to their favorite Christmas movies running around? Just saw the Grinch crossing the street and dude looked pretty legit. Like green head to toe, big bag of stolen gifts and everything. Put Jim Carrey's version to shame (then again I think anything is better than that version).

So that monolith in Utah disappeared and I assure you I had nothing to do with it and it's not in the science labs of my starship.

Two months with no dreams. Two month left wondering exactly what was going to happen after Leia stunned me. Sure, I could have asked Rey and Finn, but there's just something about experiencing it instead of being told second hand.

So, yeah, I woke up on a transport with Leia and other's from the Raddus. Holdo and Leia had had a plan the whole time and that included a distraction so we could get away to a planet called Crait. It didn't go quite the way they'd planned and we lost more transports before Holdo destroyed Snoke's flagship in the most badass way I've ever seen. Seriously, jumping to hyperspace at just the right time and pretty much obliterating the Flagship was so cool. Things didn't go much better once we got to Crait though and we pretty much would have bought the farm had it not been for Luke Skywalker and Rey. I'm hoping that we get a little bit of a reprieve after this. I know Ren isn't going to stop pursuing us and what he wants, but we deserve a break after all of that.

Has anyone else had a dream that flashbacks to their childhood and teenage years? I have already dreamed most of these events too, but this last dream added a little more to the memories. Either way it sucked reliving them twice.

Wow, so got some more dreams and A LOT happens.

We made it off of Crait and have been hiding out on another planet, slowly gathering weapons and supplies and trying to find allies again. We got some intel from a First Order spy that of all things Emperor fricking Palpatine is alive and has this massive fleet he plans on using against all the free worlds in less than a day. No pressure right?

So we head off to another planet where Luke Skywalker had last been when he was looking for this Sith wayfinder thing which will lead us (hopefully) to where Palpatine and his fleet are hiding so we can strike first.

And of course the First Order finds us but guess who helps save our skin? None other than Rebellion hero GENERAL LANDO CALRISSIAN himself! Like what??! He points us in the right direction to an abandoned ship in the desert and there's running, and ships, and shooting and after all that we end up in quicksand and it does not look good.

I've lost count how many times I've nearly died now.

And also, Poe...Lightspeed skipping?? Seriously bro??

Apparently there is nothing better to do in a small town than go to a drive-in movie. That literally the whole damn town attends.

[Private to Liz Ortecho]
Sorry about the whole threatening you with a knife thing.

I love going out to the park and stuff with BB8. The kids are always fascinated and want to know how I'm controlling him. I always just say it's magic. BB also attracts a lot of dogs who seem fascinated by him. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love having a droid.

So I'm thinking about maybe having a Halloween party. Would it be cheating if I dressed as my dream self? Thinking I could wear my flight suit.

So...guess who didn't die in the dreams when he thought he would?

THIS GUY!

Guess who nearly killed himself in some stupid attempt at being a hero?

THIS GUY!

At least before that I finally kicked Captain Phasma's ass. That was satisfying as hell.

Certain people who shall remain nameless are very lucky I arrived in the Falcon when I did. Seriously, Poe? Finn? I leave you alone and get tortured for awhile and this is what happens?

The privatization and commercialization of space is gonna be a problem and I don't think enough people talk about that.

Oh my god, why am I not at all surprised that I staged a mutiny, in my dreams. Like I'm intrigued, but also I can't help but laugh at myself. For someone as smart as I appear to be, I'm really kind of an idiot. So after Leia was incapacitated, a woman named Admiral Holdo took over and I didn't like her idea for getting away from the First Order so I staged a mutiny, which included a secret mission that Finn and Rose went on. Of course things go wrong and in the end, Leia wakes up and kriffing fucking shoots me with a blaster. It was set to stun, but still.

If you've never been stunned by a blaster, let me tell you, it fucking hurts. My body still hurts from it.

Things dream me learned that one might consider common sense except she's a bit of a naive dunce at people, include never meet your hero and that creepy fascist is in fact creepy.

Except he's the son of someone she respects and she hopes he can be turned back to the light.

Not exactly sure how that'll work, but as I said dream me is really bad at peopling. Even worse than I am awake and that's saying something!

A few months ago I had the Enterprise set up a sensor net around Earth. Mostly to pick up oncoming asteroids and comets so we can attempt to deflect them.

Had an interesting false reading today that turned out to be an old abandoned satellite from the 70s that wasn't in the database of known objects. I think it was used for broadcasting.

I've been told I should introduce myself. I'm Diego. Grew up here, and now I'm back. There isn't much else to say.

Fucking First Order! Not only were they somehow able to track us through hyperspace, but then they started attacking us and blew up the Raddus's hanger, which included my fucking X-Wing. BB-8 and I narrowly missed being the hanger at the time so that was lucky, but then they blew up the bridge where General Organa and the rest of the high command were. Everyone was killed except Leia, who somehow pulled herself through space and we save her, but she ends up in a coma. The First Order retreated, but we're not doing so well cause we're running out of fuel and mostly only have our shields to rely on.

I have no idea what we're going to do.

I had to go check on Black One tonight and make sure nothing had happened to her in this world and ended up spending a few hours flying around the moon.

There is so much tension between me and Clarke over Finn. Just... holy crap, what the hell. She goes out for the day and I get stuck back keeping an eye on him.

Octavia's still pissed about me torturing the guy. But, SO not doing that with her. Not when dream me would do anything for Finn. Including torture a guy. Supposedly dream me took that as 'Hey, lets have sex with Finn' and not talk about the elephant in the room. And I have to be reassured that he loves me? Just what the hell?

Monty interrupted myself and Finn time. So, yay, I get to go see what's going on and everyone's going absolutely crazy. They're on something.

"You're the most beautiful broom in the broom closet of brooms." Yeah, people are definitely on something.

Of course, there's this whole speech. Supposedly we're going to all learn how to use weapons against the grounders.

And yay for more awkwardness. Walking in on Clarke and Finn going at each other.

Can these dreams just not?

My dreams just jumped ten years. Went from the end of high school to my ten year reunion. But at least I got a cowboy hat.

One of the things I’ve always loved about the 4th of July is how into it my father has always been. Part of it was for me, but considering my parents aren’t originally from here, my father has always made it a point for us to go wherever there were fireworks and always had a bbq and all of that. It’s one of the many things I’ve always loved about my dad and the 4th.

And now that I’m an adult, it’s no different. I’m pretty sure I ate way too much this afternoon and we’re going out to watch fireworks later.

So now we got Earth Giants. Because the scary mist, blackout, and tremors weren't enough, now I gotta hope I don't get squished just driving to a crime scene.

Turns out dream!me can be a real idiot sometimes.

So after we blew up Starkiller Base, the First Order found our base on D'Qar and we had to mak a hasty exit. I suggested a plan where I would distract The First Order while the others got off the planet, which was all well and good, right? And while we did manage to blow up the Dreadnought, I got extremely cocky and got most of Cobalt Squadron and our bombers killed we suffered enough casualties that Leia demoted me to Captain since she had technically told me to come back once we pulled off our initial distraction and I hadn't listened. Am I surprised that I didn't listen? Nope. Cause it definitely sounds like something I have done in the past. I just never got an entire squadron killed in real life.

Considering how bad I am at listening to authority figures, it's a wonder I lasted as long as I did in the Navy.

Also, for someone Leia's size, she packs a mean slap.

I think it's hilarious that there is apparently a petition to have Confederate statues in New Orleans replaced with statues of Britney Spears. Could you imagine if that actually happened? That would be the funniest thing ever and considering the way this year has been, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Alright. With all the shit this network brings us I figure I could at least take car troubles off everyone's worries. If you bring your car in to Out Of This World Mechanics and mention this network I'll give you a discount.

More dreams last night. Thank God. I thought maybe I was dead after that last bunch.

Nope. Just unconscious. I think I missed something huge because I wake up in the dreams and end up wandering the halls naked on some ship in a weird suit thingie with leaking hoses. I keep yelling Rey's name every time I wake up what is up with that

Turns out a big fight went down with the First Order and then we jumped to lightspeed. I guess we lost our secret base? And Rey, you're not there. Where are you?

Holy eff bomb.

Is it just me or did that hangover last days? Just me? Okay cool.

Thanks again to my amazing babe who planned me a kick ass party for no reason other than she knows how much I love to dance. To all my friends who came .... I wish I remembered more of that night. Wanna fill me in? Give me some memories? Because wow. I got shmammered.

At least I came home in my own pants! I think ... I also feel Wanda definitely had something to do with me getting home safe...


Frick. Who wants a smoothie? I think I need to eat healthy for a week now to get over this. Where are my sunglasses...


ooc: for those that were at Peter's party, feel free to make up whatever he did that night. I will happily play along :)

Why can't I get the dreams in small batches? I pass out in a food coma and here comes an avalanche of dreams. Kylo Ren took Rey after the battle of Takodana. Solo, Chewie and I got a rescue plan together to go get her (well, okay, for the Resistance it was to shut down the shields on Starkiller base), we all find each other and then Solo decides to go try to talk Kylo freakin' Ren out of being evil and that didn't end well at all.

There's a lot of yelling and blasters and explosions and then we're headed to the Falcon in the woods and SOMEHOW Kylo got there ahead of us. Before I know it he's Force tossed Rey and it's just me and him squaring off with lightsabers. I'd never fought with one before but I managed to hold my own...until I couldn't.

Thanks for epic scars, Dreams. I'd have been happier without them. No idea how I'm going to explain this in the locker room at work.

When I woke up this morning, I instantly called my brother Michael to check on him. He had died in my dreams and I just needed to make sure he was fine. I realize it's an irrational reaction, but something in me needed to hear his voice to know he was alright.

My dreams seemed to move faster this time, I went through my whole childhood, was a code breaker in Bletchley Park, almost got married to a Fred Wells, then Micheal's death prompt me to not getting married and join British counter-intelligence.

I woke up when I was called in a office.

Just what I asked for, new dreams from the time when Everything Went Bad.

I guess I shouldn't have opened my mouth about gaps in the Dreams.

Fresh out of leaving the Jedi Order me got involved with some small time criminals trying to make a better life for themselves.

Naturally they got themselves mixed up in more than they could deal with and I had to help them without revealing I used to be a Jedi.

The Jedi aren't exactly viewed highly by them

I've always had dreams about flying, which comes as no surprise considering it's what I do, but dreaming about flying an X-Wing is something completely different. While it's similar to a jet, it's also nothing like it at all. I'm going to have to take Black One out sometime soon. I want to fly in space, but at the same time it's so daunting. I'm gonna do it soon though.

My dream last night was a lot better than the last one I had cause I wasn't tortured and I didn't crash and get a concussion. I got back to the Resistance just in time to leave to take down some First Order troops on a planet called Takodana and then once we got back to base I was finally reunited with BB-8 and Finn, which was awesome.

As good as things appear to be going, I'm not holding my breath that it's gonna stay that way for long.

I think getting my blaster this morning was a sign. BB-8 and I are going out there. Gotta try to take down some of these Stormtroopers. They're starting to hassle the neighbors and I just can't let that happen. Anyone wanna come join me, I'm gonna make my way towards Navy base in Seal Beach.

Nearly had a heart attack this morning. I thought that was Starkiller Base in the sky for a second. Not that the Death Star is any better.

This is nowhere near cool, OC. Knock it off.

Edit: Oh great, there are Stormtroopers now.

In my dreams I used to live in an old abandoned AT-AT.

Now there's one stomping about outside.

I swear this isn't my fault.

Someone remind me that if I'm ever kidnapped by a masked, megalomaniac that I really shouldn't sass them. They really don't like that. Also, what kind of name is Kylo Ren? How does one even come up with something like that? I know it's not his real name, but still. It's just bad.

I also finally figured out why Rey and Finn are with BB-8 and I'm not.

Oh, and I have an entire space ship now. I got the rest of the pieces of my X-Wing last week. I haven't flown it yet though. I still can't quite believe that I'll be able to go into fucking space in it!

So got a ton of dreams. Some repeats, some new ones. And now my head feels like it wants to explode.

Where do I start? The creepy death meatball monsters known as Rathtars? Almost got eaten by one! Not fun.

Meeting an old smuggler and his Wookie co-pilot? That was interesting. He ended up telling us the Force is real, so are Jedis, and then we go to this crazy alien bar on Takodana because we gotta get BB-8 to the Resistance and Solo knows where to hook us up. Then this little orange alien lady calls me out and I'm all "Hell yeah we should run from the First Order!"

And then I just...left. Which is really not cool. I mean, I get it, the First Order won't hesitate to wipe us out, but bailing out on Rey like that just sucked. Wish I could yell at my dream self.

But you know what? Dream me was right. Cuz who shows up? THE FIRST ORDER. And it's bad. Like really bad. They're blowing up the bar and everyone's firing at everyone else, and then Maz tosses me this crazy laser sword and suddenly I'm squaring off with an old First Order squadmate "Nines" who has a sort of electric axe and one helluva grudge. And it's not looking good. Me, Solo, and Chewbacca are surrounded and are just surrendering when who shows up to the rescue but Resistance Pilots! It was freaking amazing! They kicked some serious ass, especially this one pilot - I mean like, damn it was some fine flying and shooting!

So, I'm not the only one with a mystery Easter basket? And what's with the glittery rabbit tracks? I called my Grams thinking it was her but nope. Then she asked if I was coming over for Easter dinner and it was all "Sorry Grams, gotta go!"

I love my Grams but the twenty some odd cousins that show up for the holidays? Not so much...
