Dream:

I had basically what amounts to a romantic comedy. Except it was super platonic. So... why not? Let's make it a romantic friendship comedy.

Anyways, the majority of the dream took place in a fancy pool area. The main character (whom I saw the world thru and all refer to as me from now on) was an astronomy nerd who was hanging out on a second story, screened patio overlooking th pool. I was with a friend and they were talking about... something (stars?).

At some point, a woman in the pool area caught my attention. Something she did or said. I wanted to get to know her. So I went down and said hi. I invited her to a star viewing that night with me, my friend, and I guess a club (am I in school?).

She comes, there are telescopes. Dream shenanigans ensue as we are indoors looking at the stars. Magic telescopes. We have a good time.

The next morning on the patio me and my friend found a scavenger setup in my patio. "Find me" or something was the main goal. At some point the friend found a "dirty" diaper that had a notebook in it. The notebook had instructions to write some Japanese near the pool area. I was about to do it when she showed up and told me to meet her at the pool via the waterslide.

I'm pretty sure the pool didn't have a waterslide prior to her saying this, but this wasn't so much a water slide as a steep river magically stopping at a calm pool. I chickend out, she's supportiv and doesn't really care.

A time skip happens and I yell to her that I'm doing the waterslide. She tries to warn me to stop because a group has private access to the pool. Too late, I'm already in motion and trying to brace myself for crashing into people in the pool. I manage to not crash into anyone but get an earful. The woman defends me and later we laugh it off. We're friends, the end.

I had another part of my dream wherein I chased a cat out of the room we were staying in. Very believeable, as I'm staying with a family who has cats, but keeps them out of the room we're in as sometimes they have guests over with cat allergies. But I know this was a dream as I chased the cat thru the room's private bathroom, which it doesn't have.

A year ago, I was pretty excited at my new, more efficient setup where I actually did end-of-day reviewr (and hopefully weekly reviews). I figured end-of-day reviews would take 5 minutes instead of a half-hour like they did in 2015. I wonder how past me would feel about them ballooning back to 30 minutes, sometimes longer.

In any case, I like my system now, even though it has its time sinks. It could be a bit more efficient, for sure. Though rearranging it a while ago has helped immensely. Now I'm much more likely to stop at one pomodoro, as I put the stuff I feel I have to do earlier in the checklist. Stuff that I can get to when I have time is pushed later and stuff at the end of the list is often skipped.
