Night 12

The wingman
- i was in a store with the pillow i was sleeping on in my hands, the store employee said 'you know you will have to pay for that again, right?' (it even implies that he knows i already paid for it) and i was like 'no shot, i didnt even buy it from this store' and left, did a nose plug (+1) and became lucid, saw myslelf further down the street (i didnt look exactly like i do now, but knew anyway), i decided to change my perspective to be standing near 'me' (i'd say this was more something that has happened rather than something i did even tho i noticed the desire for it before it happened), i saw my reflection in a store window and decided to play rock paper scissors with myself (personal goal to win this), i recommended 'myself' to try to do the same thing (+2) because i found it funny, my hands were cold and i had trouble opening my hand for the first scissors, we both went scissors - rock - and scissors four more times, the reflection was perfect till i decided to switch to rock last second and won against scissors (ez)(+15), the other me was no longer there so i decided to go for my usual and asked for wings, felt (+5) them and somehow also used a 3rd person view to see them on my back for a moment (left 3/4 black, right white, both angel wings), started flying (+5) around and stopped to observe a crazy sunrise sky, then flew some more

also im confident i had another one but i forgot all of it

Nigt 13

- Not your daddy
i seem to have forgotten the beggining, first thing i remember is there being 3 of my laptop, i had one and was trying to get into the second one, but i couldnt since my friends changed the password to it, i kept asking them for it, but they ignored me and it was starting to make me mad, there was also the third one which i didnt even know where it was, that made me anxious, i then went into this terrace with a pyramid shaped iron truss above it and (was lucid by this point) i pushed a guy into a pit (+2) because i was so mad, floated (+5) up above the top of the pyramid and told everyone there to follow him (+5), i noticed a girl sitting close by and i walked up to her as everyone was walking into the pit. she said 'thanks for doing this for me dad' whit a smile on her face (im not anything close to anyone's dad), i replied 'but i did this for myself' she replied something and we hugged and it was very emotional, i saw a helicopter getting closer which was there to rescue us, i was thinking that this is an awesome ending and was proud of how long this dream was (except i forgot most of it ), i immedietly wrote down the conversation we had when i woke up and saw a fully realistic image of the scene for a second, thought that my brain must still partially be in dream mode and kept writing, then i woke up for real and didnt journal untill now (evening)

Fragment:
I'm in a big open convention space, with thick carpet and lots of red/gold colors.
It turns out this is a hotel, where there is a mixup with where we were supposed to stay.
I'm on a school trip with the cast of My Hero Academia.

Grocery Store Flight:
I'm in a grocery store that reminds me of one I went to as a kid.
I'm running a sort of tower defense game, where people (mobs/creeps) will attempt to make it past my shelves and reach the goal.
I add some bricks to a back area, forcing a specific path.
I also formulated a strategy where I would add a block completing a blockage, waiting for the group to move, and then remove and rebuild it on the other side creating a loop.
...
I'm seated at a small table with a coworker, face to face.
I'm giving her a status on something quality related.
She happens to mention lucid dreaming as a topic she is interested in.
"Oh yeah! I just had one of those last night!"
I pause, and with all the mental quickness of a drunken sailor, come to the conclusion that since we are talking about lucid dreaming, perhaps I should complete a reality check.
I plug my nose and try to breathe. I can...but I don't draw the conclusion...then I do a second check and it falls again.
"Hold on, am I really dreaming right now?"
I look at my hand as a third check, and sure enough, I have five fingers plus a thumb. This is a dream!
I immediately take off and start flying [1]. As I float into the air I wave to my coworker.
"Have fun working!"
I fly off into the heights of the grocery store, and happen upon a ledge high above the shelves.
I start going through what I need to do for goals, and remember my first goal is to summon (I forgot that I already achieved this in my last lucid).
I decide to try and summon a puppy. So, I wish for a puppy to appear on the upper ledge area when I land and it comes fully into my view.
No puppy. Boo. However, there were vases all around, so I decide to break them for fun.
I lie down on the ledge, and remember that I was trying to teleport before.
New tactic: I'm going to lie down, pretend I'm on grass, and then hope the rest of the scene transforms to match.
It doesn't. Boo. I also find some doors and try to use them to teleport. Nope.

[1] Fly.

Before WBTB

Fragment:
I'm at work, being questioned about a quality process. LC is there, gesturing toward an area of the production floor.
There is a grid of square objects that I'm not familiar with.
We're at the part of the floor where the fitness section used to be.
Feeling is neutral.

After WBTB

Smol Pup:
I'm driving with my girlfriend around our neighborhood. I asked her why we are out here, and she doesn't know.
Later I've walked down to town and wandered into a store.
My arm is resting on a side table, and I notice a small puppy's tail wagging and hitting my hand.
He's a small little guy, and seems happy to see me. I feel a strong emotional bond immediately, but I don't RC.
I start talking to the store clerk, and they are trying to sell the puppy to me.
There is a second puppy, that is bigger, but also cute.
...
I tell my girlfriend about the store and she wants to see the puppy, so we go back.
We go back to the store and there is a back area with a bunch of cages and even more cats and dogs.
There is a security guard there that isn't happy about our trespass, and the fact that we woke up the animals.

You Can't Hurt Me:
I wake up in bed, but I remember that I had just been doing a WBTB, so I do a nose RC.
I can breathe. I'm dreaming! But my body feels really heavy. I remember what I read recently:
The first thing I should do is take stock of the situation to help it stabilize. So, I stay in bed.
"This is a dream. I just became lucid. I'm in a dream bed in my dream house."
After a few moments, I try to get up again. It works. My body is free.
I get up and out of bed. Closing the door behind me, I notice that the hallway is dark.
"Lights up!" - but nothing happens. Oh well.
I turn the corner into where my kitchen should be, but there is a wide open living room-kitchen setup.
It resembles my landlord's setup, with the kitchen on the right and a bigger living area straight ahead.
My girlfriend is on the right in the kitchen, my brother is further back in a living area, and his wife is further back in another den area.
I try to make my girlfriend naked by looking at her and then looking away, but no cigar on that.
I recall that I should start going for points...what was my three-step? Summon! My first step was summon!
I vaguely consider what I should summon, and decide on a weapon. I think about a machine gun, and when I turn to look at a nearby kitchen table, there it is [1].
I pick it up and it reminds me more of a paintball gun than the real thing. Whatever. I don't actually want to hurt anyone here, so I start dotting the ceiling with bullets.
The gun makes a muted sound, and leaves perfect bullet marks like in Goldeneye 64. My brother notices me doing this and asks me what the hell I'm doing.
He pulls out a desert eagle and points it at me.
"Go ahead and start shooting. This is a dream. You can't hurt me."[2]


Come at me, bro.

He starts unloading his weapon into me, and I feel nothing [3]. Rather than shoot him, instead I grab him by the leg and start throwing him around like a ragdoll [4].
He doesn't end up injured, but this does end the altercation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSbc1vn6O6I
Not going to lie, it felt pretty damn good.

Then I make my way over to a side room where my girlfriend is and do some naughty things with her. This wakes me up.
I'm back in bed, but I remembered I was just dreaming, so I do another nose RC[5,6].
Still dreaming! I'm super excited that I had hit two out of my three tasks (I've never completed the three-task before!) but I forgot the middle one is "ask for advice" not "interact with a DC".
Regardless of that, I decide that I want to try for #3: a teleport.
I get up easily from bed this time, no body calibration needed. Though in retrospect maybe some stabilization would have been good.
I open the bedroom door and enter the hallway. I decide that I will imagine Silverlight Forest on the other side of the wall, just out of my view.
Rather than try the slower "turn and wish" method, I change up my style and take off at a sprint around the corner as fast as I can.
I'm thinking "Forest! Forest! Forest!" hoping that I can finally make the teleport work.
I accelerate to super speed [7], and the world starts to morph around me. I'm going so fast, I should have hit the far wall of the house by now, but nothing is impeding my motion.
I get excited as I see a spec of green. Then another. And another. A green plains zone starts to form in front of me. It has World of Warcraft graphics.
There are Fire Elementals dotted all over the field. The visual is now half house and half Warcraft, with digital blocks transitioning between the two.
I'm excited that I'm going to pull off a teleport FINALLY!
But before I can slow down and settle into the scene, I wake up.

[1] Reality Check / Stabilization
[2] Basic Summon
[2] Interact with a DC
[3] Gain Invulnerability
[4] Super Strength
[5] Catch A False Awakening
[6] Reality Check
[7] Super Speed

I have a false awakening and I'm in my room at night, in the dark. I can't fall back asleep and I get up to look out of the window. I see a comet fly by in the distance really fast and disintegrate. For some reason I'm thinking it might be the Halley comet, in my head I think I've read somewhere it would show up this year (this is not true), so I try to pick up my phone to look up when it was supposed to show up.

I look out of the window some more and see some strange object with a few lights flying in the sky in a weird pattern before going out of view and I'm thinking to myself what I should do about it but I brush it off as not being important. Eventually, something clues me in that I might be dreaming and do a reality check, becoming lucid.

Looking out the window again I wonder if I should fly out and explore. I levitate above the floor and prepare to fly out of the window, however shortly after I lose all my senses and everything is dark, I try to hold on to the dream. For some reason I start narrating the dream in my mind, thinking about how I'm descending to the "thoughts layer" and that "they" noticed my presence (I'm not sure what any of that means). I eventually wake up, shortly before my alarm goes off.

LD:
I rented a room in some sort of hotel with a well known IG photographer. It was late afternoon and we’re both hanging out on the bed reading. He is handsome and has not said he’s interested me, but I can I can sense he wants to be intimate. His leg is lightly touching me and I can feel the heat. I leave the room and walk to my bedroom where my partner is at (now somehow back at home) and end up getting into bed with my partner and falling asleep. In my dream, as I’m falling asleep, I think to try WILD and immediately move into sleep paralysis.

I ask the dream if it can be lucid and am able to “roll” off my bed into a false awakening in my bedroom. It’s super vivid and I immediately stabilize by rubbing my hands together. It seems like twilight in my house and I walk out of my room into the hallway. At the other end of the hallway a see a faint apparition by the door. It’s slightly unnerving, but I walk up to it and try and embrace it. It seems to dissipate when I do this. I then ask the dream space if there’s anything I can help out with, but nothing seems to happen. I go to my living room and try and open a portal in the ground using my hands. I get the ground to ripple like a pond, but no portal appears. Instead I spin around quickly and think of an open Irish landscape to test some more dream control in. When I stop spinning, a lush landscape surrounds me, and it is still twilight.

Since this lucid is so much more vivid than the last one, I decide to try deity yoga again. I fill myself up with energy and start to fly into the atmosphere, but I notice the dream start to unravel so I immediately cut off my powers and plummet hundreds of feet to the ground. I slam ungracefully (but unhurt) into the ground next to some kayaks.

At this point a bunch of people walking their various dogs start to enter the scene. I want to practice teleporting via snapping my fingers, and I’m able to teleport short distances with each snap. Seeing the dogs again, I decide to try full transformation again, but this time into a wolf. I feel myself launch onto all fours, and I look down to see wolf paws. I can also feel a very thick fur coat. I snarl menacingly at a dog that’s close and am surprised at how aggressive/real it sounds. I next see if I can run like a dog, but the movement are all jolty so I transform back to a human.

At this point a bunch of DCs are starting to enter the dream and it’s getting crowded. I think maybe now it’s time to start creating a legendary weapon. I start searching for some sort of portal to an underground forge, but have a hard time finding one. A side street opens up to what looks like a neon lit Tokyo alleyway at night, but I don’t go down it (now I kind of regret not taking a look). Instead I enter this gallery space and am trying to find paintings to turn into portals, but at this point the dream gets really messy with a lot of people and I feel my dream control is falling apart.

Dream #1:
I’m with my mom and she hands me an expensive $217 bottle of champagne. It’s for a friends celebration and as I take it to put it on the counter, I grab it by the next and cork. Some how I accidentally pop the cork and spill half the bottle in the sink. I tell my mom it was an accident and the cork literally fell out, but she’s still disappointed. I realize that I may have some champagne in the fridge, but when I look I can only find other open, half full bottles. She says since it’s still light out she’s going to walk across the street to the store while I figure out what to do.

Fragments:
Coworker has a large Japanese orchid greenhouse. He offers to share it with me since he has so much space. We spend sometime cleaning it out, including old railroad ties that were on the ground.

Playing video game with friend. We quickly get to high levels boss encounter that we cannot beat. I tell her we could probably do it if I used more of my special abilities, but I’ve not had time to practice them.

Learning how to canoe properly in water. The instructor was very carefully drawing out a diagram on when to do what stroke. Seemed almost in a tribal setting, like my life was gonna depend on it?

1. The Temple (LD)
I'm aware as I'm looking at a tan an orange, stone structure to my left. It has a stone archway on the top portion and seems to lead to some type of open area underneath. I hear a male's voice in the distance and I wonder if I'm getting some input from waking life - I simply turn my attention away from it. I can't move at first, yet relax and begin floating upward into the scene. It's daytime and I see a bit of vegetation beneath me. I look ahead and see a large structure made of tan stone. The architecture is quite rigid; it contains all right angles with large, flat surfaces. I float up to an upper ledge, grab it, and hoist myself up. I stop and raise my hand out in front of me. I take a slow, deep breath, grounding. I walk forward around the edge of a large stone wall and begin thinking about control. I'll try a bit of transformation... I haven't done that in a little while. I shrink down to mouse form, yet feel that the limbs aren't 100%. I readjust, but want to try another form.. I revert to humanoid form then shrink down to cat form. I feel it's quite accurate, down to the curve in the spine, which I accentuate a bit as I walk. I turn toward a stone bridge leading to another large section of the temple structure and catch my cat reflection to the side. I begin to revert to humanoid as I walk across. I see a large humanoid shadow as I walk across. I reach the the next portion and begin to float to an upper portion. I wake up.


2. Sides Of Glass (LD)
I'm sitting at a long table, with several people who appear to be eating. My awareness stirs. ...Dream?.... I become lucid. I stand up and float to the other side of the room, ignoring the group. I enter another room which is much larger and seems to have seating around the perimeter. Sunlight pours in through the long glass windows to the left portion of the room. Hmmm...what should I do? I think of element manipulation and as I raise my right arm. It's glowing in a dark purple color, appearing like dark smoke. I go to cast a shadow bolt, yet only see faint wisps stream out. I see that the glass walls to my left are quite thick and I decide to play with phasing. I slowly phase my body through, noticing how the visual field warbles as my head passes through the glass. I look down at my limbs, making sure they all pass through, then phase back in slowly. I then see a massive TV mounted on the far wall. It's roughly five feet tall and twelve feet wide. Suddenly, I feel a strong pinch in my foot - it actually hurts a bit. I notice that there's a young kid kneeling down in the area, seemingly doing something.
"You need to stop doing that".
He looks up at me, then seems to continue. I then feel a pinching in my ear. What's causing that?
I think of super strength as I turn back to the TV, lift the entire thing off and let it drop down on the kid, pinning him to the floor.
"Will you stop now?"
I lift it back off and then chuck it across the room. The kids simply walks away. I float back through the glass, ready to explore outside. I notice a long cliff face in the near distance and green grass in bright daylight. I fly upward, ready to cast more elements. I cast my arm forward, going for fireball, yet don't see anything appear.
The dream seems to destabilize a bit, so I decide to teleport quickly. I raise my right arm, yet the portal bracelet isn't fully formed. I fly to my right, casting into the wall. I see a slight bit of an undulating effect in the wall and fly right in. I continue to walk forward as I visualize Silvermoon. I wake up.


Bow, Arrows, and Bears (NLD)

I'm looking at a structure that appears to be traditional Japanese architecture with an open concept in the center. There's a massive bear-type creature in the front, facing toward me with a menacing grow. I begin to raise my bow. I see another large white bear behind it and take aim. I fire an arrow at it and see it stream to the right of the body. I fire another and see it head toward the front left leg. I can't tell if it sank in, and I continue to look. I wonder if that'll neutralize it.

Fragment:
I'm at my desk at home working on something.
I hear a blood-curdling scream from a woman I can't see.
I'm terrified. My girlfriend shakes me awake. I was making sounds in my sleep again.

Fragment:
I'm in the kitchen of my current home, sitting my a TV. I'm with my brother and we are playing a Nintendo 64 together.
It's some kind of noir-detective game, where the protagonist is a fox.

Fragment:
I've overused my hair medication. My hair is falling out in clumps.
I'm scared that I'm going to look terrible.

Dream:
I'm at the varsity football stadium from high-school.
We're performing the 2008 marching band show.
I get called out for not knowing my dots (location on field).
My Mom is on the sidelines, and she is excited that I've found socks that fit.
I go back out to the field and mess it up again.
...
I'm inside the school now. My girlfriend is there with a puppy.

Dream:
I'm playing a game that resembles Super Smash Bros, except it is in 3D instead of a 2D plane.
I'm with my friend A, and we're playing together at his house.
There are many ways to win the game, racing, knock-out, and others.
I'm playing as a monkey character.

Fragment:
I'm at my childhood home, and there are donuts downstairs.
My sister is upstairs, and there is a portal on her door.
I have a puppy. My sister is upset with me.

Dream #1:
I’m traveling with a family similar to the show breaking bad. Scene with drugs on a Twix bar. One of the young men (looks like the younger insane brother from Gen V) takes drugs and I have to protect the rest of the family. He’s trying to throw these spear like objects, and his super strength means they pierce walls and furniture. I trick him into filming something, making him think he’s important. Scene cuts to the young man and another family member wearing those ridiculous blow up dinosaur outfits and acting out dinosaurs mating.

Dream fragments:
Looking at a travel itinerary in Scotland and listening to recommendations. I have a physical piece of paper with it typed out. The advice was to do shopping early and buy any luggage at a specific place listed on the paper.

We’re trying to park on the side of a road. It’s dark and the road is winding along a steep hillside. I’m worried that erosion under the road will make it collapse while we’re parked there.

Day 10

(dreams from this day are shortened since i wrote them down to my paper diary and i dont want to retype them)

To the Pantheon
- i was lucid in a pool with a friend, we talked (+2), then i climbed a (climbing) wall above the pool by sticking my hands into it, then a girl came into the room and started singing, i got out, took a cheese croissant (+5) from a shelf and stood on a table listening to her song, it was called To the Pantheon (doesnt exist) with lyrics about the Charybdis and it ended by one of the judges from our tv show 'Star Dance' becaming a king. i phased trough a door (+10) and the other room wasnt loaded, i saw it form from simple lines, geometric shapes and renders of objects and went back for the rest of the song

Last dorm night (my last night in my dorm irl)
- i was sitting on my bed talking to my roommates, then i asked one of them why he was there because he has already moved out, i began to be unsure and did a nose plug to become lucid (+1), almost instinctively went under his bed for a pizza (+5) which was kinda cold (+5), then went into a building that usually isnt there and phased trough a door i couldnt open (+10) went back and tried to teleport by having a castle on the other side of it, reopened it like 5 times but it was still the same dance studio, then Vendy walked in my direction with a dog, but randomly tuned around and started running away, i ran behind her and we got into this big room and suddenly huge ammounts of rats began flooding in, my friend snitched on me to her friends, she said she saw me phase trough a wall and that i summoned all hose rats and i was like 'wtf, i didnt do this' (+2), i climbed on a counter and had to shoot down rats with plates because they were forming rat ladders and climbing up

Train
- i was sitting on the toilet watching a youtube video of a hobo doing really bad magic tricks with an egg, then it was about train malfunctions and i was suddenly standing near train tracks, i became lucid and caught a single pasanger train (+5), figured i could take it to the castle i wanted to go to and started speeding it way up (+5) and my alarm rang


Day 11

Enchented bow
- i was in a hallway in my building with Zak and more old classmates, we were throwing cards and then neighbors came out, they were going to the same show we were waiting for and they dissed us for being engineers, we started leaving, i slid all the railings and then i saw this girl in a wheelchair and i started talking to her, turns out she was waiting for the neighbor and he forgot her there, we called him back i think, we went outside and i remember a sandstone tower standing there which i was adamant about climbing, but everyone was against it, it had something to do with the event, i recall talking to my friend about how i dont uderstand why noone else wanted to use our bows for a show at the event, then i became lucid and said (+2) it doesnt matter and showed him a shot out of an imaginary bow (+7.5) and hit a wall, it was a normal arrow (+10) from our perspective, but turned into 2 huge logs when we walked closer, i then wanted to shoot near a friend on the other side of the street, but it hit her and left only a circle of blood and pink person sized butterfly wings on the wall behind her, i didnt know what to do so i let everyone get ahead of me and i showered them with arrows from above to get rid of witnesses (acuall big piles of arrows and for some reason pencils), everyone just dissapeared when it touched them, i then went to my other friend who was standing there and asked what he would eat if he could have anything in the world to give it to him, he referenced a nonexisting story and didnt pick a food in the end, so i picked up an avocado off a street vendor's shelf and ate the first half (+5), i was back to thinking of getting points, so i floated the other half above my hand (+5) and tried to make it golden (missremembered my personal goal of making something colorless), i managed turqoise and then red (+7.5) which was good enough for me, i then wanted to try stopping time for the first time, i threw the avocado in the air and cast 'time stop' on it, it froze in the air (7.5) but a second one identical to it kept falling from the same spot and bounced around till it hit this lady which i apologised to and someone else who got up woke me up

I put on my headphones and went back to sleep

Pointless greed
- i was near my front door and instantly wanted to teleport, decided to try spinning since i failed to do it with doors last night (1st time teleporting, i usualy 'find' my location), i was aiming for a castle to meet a king, i got into a stone hallway (+10) and had an interface with my net worth and a gold nuggent in front of me, for some reason getting that money up became my priority so i spent the rest of my time duplicating the nugget (+10)

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 11

1. The Firework Sky (LD)
Where am I? I look around and see that I'm in a dim garage and begin to recognize it. San house, Meadow...I'm dreaming. I'm lucid. I head forward in the garage and float through the garage door. I begin thinking of the layout of Meadow in this area and head right, floating across the street. I head onto a driveway and look up at the night sky. I soon see a firework explode in the sky, casting green and pink light from its center. I then see another go off farther to the right. Just like earlier in the month. I look down the street again and see a couple of figures walking toward me. I snap to go invisible and head toward the street without them seeing me. I see another figure standing in the far distance, faint purple light glowing in the distance. The scene at the end of the road looks very surreal. I begin to run toward him, deciding to explore down there, then go for super speed. There's no distance...it's just an image. I suddenly zoom rapidly toward the destination. The figure is no longer there, yet I find myself in the middle of a three-way intersection among a few houses I'm interested in exploring. I see one to the right with lights on and an older couple sitting in a front room. I head farther left and decide to head into a slightly larger house with a brown exterior. I see a family at a dining table in a dining room to the back, having a late dinner apparently. I snap to go invisible and phase through the front window. They continue to talk, yet don't see me as I walk inside and head to the right. I may as well get something to eat. I head to the left, wondering if the kitchen will be there - I figure it must be as there wasn't much else to the right. I enter a large room at the left wide of the house with dark wooden cabinets situated around the walls. There's a large over in the center. I quickly find a small area in the right with many cabinets and figure it must be where they stock food. I find a several boxes and decide on a box of cookies as well as a cookie cereal. I head out through a side door and continue out by the side of the house in the night. I go to open the box of cookies and hope it's not too hard considering the plastic wrap. I try to tear it, yet don't have any success. I look on the ground, find a sharp stick, then pierce the plastic. I notice that inside there are just large brown sheets, about half an inch thick. I continue to walk toward the street as I take a bite, yet it just tastes like cardboard. I go to spit it out and walk a bit farther, yet I wake up.

2. Matcha (LD)
This looks dreamlike...nose pinch, I'm lucid. Thought so. I'm standing in a bedroom in Meadow main house. I turn and phase through the bedroom door and head down the walk way. I fly over the railing and decide to get a drink before exploring the front. I'll have a matcha this time. I enter the kitchen, expecting a matcha latte being in the fridge to the right when I open it. I find it immediately on a shelf, grab it, and begin to head to the front of the house. I want to check that it's accurate, so I look inside and notice that the drink is a light green. Perfect. I head to the front and phase through the front doors. I just had some caffeine, so maybe my awareness will... I look up and the dream is highly vivid, along with a stable awareness. Awesome. I continue to walk down the walkway, heading right, considering where to explore. I wake up.

3. Meditation Above The Town (LD)
I'm standing in a dim room. This seems like a dream. I'm lucid. I nose pinch and begin to look around. I see someone in bed and I sense that it's Bran. I stop, put my arms in front of me, and ground, taking five slow deep breaths. My awareness becomes more stable. I decide not to interact and to simply explore the area. I phase through the wall to my right and find myself flying high above in what appears to be an old town. It's daytime and I notice the buildings are all constructed from dark brown brick. The architecture seems more western European. I consider some goals and decide to go for phoenix. I raise my arm for the phoenix gauntlet, yet don't see it. I cast my arm forward and see a faint, large shadowy bird appear in the far distance, yet it's not very defined. I continue to fly, and look for the ring of elements, yet I don't have it on. I decide to go for some ice anyway. I cast my arm and see some snow flurries around my field of vision. I fly down and look over to the green hills to my right, noticing some small structures. I try to determine if any of the buildings seem to be reserved for me as in past lucids - nothing appears to be though. I feel this would be a cool place to come back to. I fly to the center of the town and decide to play around with gravity. I put a foot on the lower edge of a massive building, then flip gravity 90 degree. I see top edge of the building in the far distance and zoom across it, rapidly reaching the upper ledge. I flip gravity upright once again and reach the roof. I head to the far end and look around. I'll try time dilation and element manipulation. I sit on the edge and meditate for a moment. I then push the time sphere outward and contract it back inward - it's invisible this time. I then imagine the scene freezing over and I see shards of ice scatter on the periphery of my visual field. I stand up as things feel a little less stable, and I head to my left. I see a tree a consider ripping the entire thing out. The dream seems to be fading, so I drop down and begin rubbing the floor. I continue for a while, then head forward and tear the tree out. I could probably do that in real life though... I continue to rub as I visualize a scene. I soon see an image of my own face. I hold my awareness for a bit, then wake up.


Katana Wall (NLD)
I'm with a Anth and some other people in a large, rectangular, dim room. He's talking and we all look at a wall to our left. It has various art items, several of which seem to be in the shape of katanas. They're black with some reddish etchings on them. I head away from the wall and see that there are spots on either side of the room where seats used to be inserted. I see the anchor areas where the seats where, as in a car, and the felt depressions with metal in the area. I notice that almonds are scattered around the one to the right. I'm a bit embarrassed at first as I wonder if it was me who did that. I then think that it's Anth's spot so it must be his mess; apparently he likes almonds. I head back to the wall and find a large, curved scimitar. I pick it up off the wall and draw then blade. It's fairly thin and sharp. I show it to ant and begin to ask about a metal connection piece in the center which appears like a part that connects pipe. He explains it a bit more.

Luna Rose

Night 10
I'm walking in a dim area. Wait... this is a dream! I begin to walk forward a bit more, but lose lucidity.

Night 11
I continue sitting at the table with several people, eating a wedding cake. Wait...we already had our wedding...this is a dream! I begin to walk off from the table, but wake up

* 2024-07-16 00:00 Tues comp night #11
* BT 22:00
* Waking 03:00 (5 hrs)
* (f) Flight to England There is an announcement or a board stating that at 03:15 everyone needs to synchronize their watches
* Wake up in a hotel room, I'm (mostly) naked in bed, there are other people (unrelated) in the room, I feel uncomfortable about this and pull the covers up around me. Something happens and I plop to the floor on my butt, not too hard, they ask me "are you ok?" I say "yeah, it wasn't hard." I notice a bed next to mine, small? Very rough and uncomfortable looking. There is a sweeping view from this room, it seems like a familiar view but as seen from a different perspective, perhaps lower elevation. I'm thinking about the owners of this hotel, I think they change and spray the beds every day (or at least in between guest stays). The woman who was there in the room (unrelated) has spread out all their clothes on their bed, about a double/queen size, and is spraying the clothing with a hose. I wonder if she put a waterproof sheet underneath them. I'm fascinated by this process and watch it for quite a while as she goes back and forth over the clothing with the hose/sprayer.
* The unrelated couple say that the "sail" is ready, it's in a corner of the room by where I got up. The view shifts to a large outdoor space, and they're saying that this sail (really like an umbrella) is used for positioning at the opening to a volcano, so that you can see the reflection of the lava on it. I think it would probably be very dangerous to get close to an lava opening, the ground may crumble and collapse under you.
* English pub. A group of us enter a building through a doorway, and go inside. There is a long line inside. We take our place in line. The front counter has a large screen/display of the menu items displayed on it. One of the menu items is steak and bread. I scoot up to the front to see and another menu items seems to be "chopped pasta." I decide that I'll order the steak. There's a man in the line who is talking with two of (my group?) about how he distracted them and pickpocketed them both. He is handing back a roll of cash to both of them. I reach the front of the line and order the steak, but the guy at the counter says they're out of it. I'm disappointed. I'm trying to decide what else I should order. I remember that there was something like a "hash pie" that had a long complicated name. I'm looking at the order board, but I don't see any of the previous dishes that I had seen before, I only see a bunch of differently decorated plates of olives, decorated with various olives.
* Sitting at a table, I observe a woman a few tables away from me, she's young, attractive, she's eating something (apparently steak) and she's talking about how she always eats steak, but that it's been a month?
* My old friend DannyD is across from me and he asks me "how're you doing?"
* I say "Well at least (maybe referring to our troubles in the restaurant), here we are in England! And that's a great way to do it: say up all night the night before, and then sleep through the entire flight!"
* Long BTS. Takes a long time with count, relaxing, etc. Eventually fall back asleep. WBTB. Sat up in bed for a while on edge, cooled off, lay back down, about 10 minutes
* (f) I'm walking outside, I encounter a young woman I think I know, she's carrying a bottle of wine, (rose´?), the wine's name starts with "G"?
* In the room/house: there is a young woman there. We're intimate? She comes to me, and we embrace, and I study her face closely, I see that she has been crying. I think I know why [forgot].
* The room is small and made up of glass walls [DS], it is fully exposed to the outside. The curtains are (colorful?) and narrow on curtain rods, and I'm going around the perimeter of the room trying to close them so that we won't be seen from outside [DS]
* I'm on my hands and knees by a couch in the room, looking behind it, I see a group of three girls, young-sh, maybe tweens early teens, one maybe has a scarred face, they're just sitting there quietly behind the sofa. I look to the wall/ and there is a handle, it seems to be a small sliding glass door that the girls use (I think this is not the first time) to enter the room and sit there. I notice outside that people are walking by, including a very big burly man walking quickly from right to left.
* A man asks me into another room, and his son is there, and he's asking me for an autograph, his son knows me from somewhere. I ask "do you want me to sign fast [illegible] or slow [legible]?" I'm looking at the board/paper they want me to sign and imagine writing my name on it
* Pool/house party, outdoors, suburbia area, twilight lighting [DS], I enter a swimming pool [DS] area and there are a lot of young people playing around there. There are one or two girls with their boobs exposed and this excites me and I go over for a closer look. The group of them turn away and move away from me as I approach.
* Back outside the pool house there is another door. There is a porch, and a woman is sitting inside the porch. I have a pulled-back view of the whole house including the porch.

LD:
My partner and I are outside somewhere at a wooden banister/railing. There is a 70s style purse/fanny pack that a woman left on the banister. An imposing man in pink tank-top walks up to grab the purse, but I get to it first and hide it in my hoody. I know the man wants it for himself, and I’m keeping it safe for the woman. To distract him from the purse, I have him become interested in me instead. At this point I realize I’m dreaming and the scene shifts to my bedroom with the man. I extricate myself from the situation in order to explore lucidity in other ways. I snap my fingers for a new setting, and I’m transported into a Minecraft-like world. I first try mass telekinesis and lift a bunch of large car sized blocks off the ground and throw them in front of me. Next, I try and practice deity yoga and attempt at becoming a god. I imagine myself floating and filling with cosmic energy, but quickly deflate and fall back to the ground. I then ask the dream space if I can become a god. In a matter of moments I feel myself shine brightly with cosmic energy and I fly up through the atmosphere and into space. On the way up I try telekinesis again and am able to lift mountains. Once I’m in space I cannot see Earth or other planets so I try and summon them into being. After a moment, planets and cosmos whirl by. My lucidity starts to fade and I find myself shifted back into my bedroom and into a false awakening, which I catch with my hand reality check. Interestingly, the poking hand method fails and seems to be real, but I catch that I still have 6 fingers. The dream is dim now, so I try and spin and lick my hand to stabilize but the dream quickly fades

NDL and fragment:
I’m a young woman on a road trip to Scotland. Along the way I stop at a glass blower stall who only sells local/always sold out online (website is mostly red). There is a small chest full of simple glass rings of many colors and also earrings I think. The main purpose of going to Scotland was for some sort of fashion project. There’s almost a slideshow of dress designs/final outfits, switching between green and purple. The purple outfit was the final one. It was a pleated long dress with tight bodice. There was some sort of purple face covering, like 3 thick bands of ribbon. An array of curly beard, “tentacles” hang from the chin. A hat with furry rim and flat top. There is a song playing in the background, Last Days by Yasushi Yoshida

My partner and I are packing to leave someplace. I also needed to shower but couldn’t find one in place we were staying in.

Had a few fragments I can't recall.

Dream 1

Dream of some guy I know... He was getting raped violently. In the house was a bunch of people and demons fighting.

Fake Jamie

In the black space I see someone in the shadows. Jamie's hair, but the face is completely a shadow. She says, " I'm breaking up with you." Since I can't see the face and had dreams like this before I'm not taking it seriously.

Healing

Since I dreamed Jamie asking raven for help. I messaged Raven and told her about it. She agreed to help.

Dream was just a flash of walking along some fancy walk ways with a bunch of pools of water. I was with a group of people but can't remember who.

Raven confirmed that the place described in the dream is a place she goes for healing, and that me Raven and Jamie were there.

Raven didn't give much details. She's dealing with her own stress so I didn't push her for more details.

If Jamie reads these I apologize again for the scare a few entries ago. Her voice still insists she was warned about... Something.

Charlotte

Dream I went to visit my cousin's daughter. I used to live with them, she'd be almost 4 now. Charlotte seemed angry at me for having to move away. I know she doesn't understand that I was forced to move at the time. So I just apologize the best I can and give her a hug.

A quick flash of Jamie this morning but can't remember what.


Ooh!! there are a couple Jamie dreams I forgot to write down a week ago. Had these the same night where I dreamed she told me that she wanted to make me her boyfriend

Text

I'm walking down a street with Jamie. White text flashes that says, " I had a lucid dream with you in it."

Fallout

I binge watched the Fallout series on prime irl. Dreamed that I was with Jamie in the fallout universe. She had a crazy costume like you'd see in the mad Max movies. Her hair was like Pippi longstoxking, two braids sticking to the sides of her head. She was dirty like she had been roaming a desert. Had a crazy shield and a barbed wire bat like the one Began carries around

Back to my apartment tonight, so I can post the rest of the dreams from the competition that I had saved on my other laptop:

July 6th, 2024 (Comp Night 1)

Dream 1:

Some people are at a prom (I can tell it’s a prom because there is a sign that says something like “This is our Prom”). There is something going on with a guy and a girl. I think this might have started out related to the Happy Days TV show at first. Anyway, a guy is sitting at a table, and someone is saying something like “you won’t like it”. Then a show starts on a stage up front, which appears to be some inappropriate burlesque thing. This involves the girl that he likes, and he gets angry. I think people have to hold him back from storming the stage

Dream 2:

There is something going on in which people are learning to dive in what looks like a swimming pool. This involves them getting over their fear of going into the water fully clothed, apparently. Someone is encouraging people to do this, and then I do it as well. I kind of show off, being used to doing this, and I jump into the water. As I go down into the water, I find that there is actually just a layer of water and air underneath it. Possibly for the trainees – they aren’t ready for the full water experience or something. There are rooms nearby that are full of water, and I explore these also. A couple of other people go with me, I think. The rooms are connected to other pools as well, so that you can go into an adjoining room and resurface in a neighboring pool.

Fragment 1:

I sit down and look at some animals in a zoo. [Possibly the same dream]: walking along a road through the woods. There are bears in the woods. I don’t want to attract their attention.

Fragment 2:

In a store with my Mom. There is some underwear on clothing racks.

July 7th, 2024 (Night 2)

Playing Lurkers. When I start playing, the blue team is attacking the red team. There are lots of them. I’m part of the red team, and I try to lead a charge against blue. It seems to be somewhat successful. There is a graphic at the bottom of the screen showing the progress of the teams. Red makes a little progress, it seems.
Replaying Portal 2. There are a few cutscenes of GLADOS. I remember that this was the one with the Cave Johnson stuff.

July 8th, 2024 (Night 3)

Dream 1

Sherlock Holmes is on a case. There is lots of blood involved, and a dog, I think. Holmes goes into a building, and I think the dog follows him. The dog walks into a room with a lot of blood, and starts howling. From the outside, we aren’t sure why he’s howling, and are a bit concerned that something happened to Holmes. But the detective is OK, and comes back out. He is trying to conceal how bloody he is under a blanket. There are a couple of us, and we bundle together under the blanket hoping that people who see us will think that we are a romantic couple on our way home.

Fragment 1

Going to Church. In the parking lot, I’m trying to find somewhere to park. The lot is mostly full, but I find what seems to be a half of a parking place. My Jeep fits into this, although someone questions whether or not I should park there. (Possibly the same dream: I’m pulling into a parking place. There is someone trying to tow another vehicle, and I wonder if they needed the place I just pulled into).

Dream 2

It's the last day of school. I’m walking down a hallway, and cut through the back of some classrooms. The students are having a pizza party. They also have lots of boxes of eggs. These turn out to be hard boiled eggs, and the pizza turns into fried chicken eventually. So they are having chicken and eggs as a celebration meal. I try one of the eggs myself. It is very large, and yellowish in color. I make a joke to someone. Referring to the eggs and the chicken, I ask which came first.

Dream 3

I’m working in a store. My job involves standing at a checkout counter, but not actually checking anyone out. A man comes along, and puts a bunch of stuff on the counter. I think he wants me to check him out, but I explain that he needs someone else for that. I think he might also try to do something he isn’t supposed to do – it involves fruit snacks that are packaged in folders like books. I point him to a cashier, but then the cashier explains that this man is a thief and has tried to steal from them before. The fact that he has shown up again means that we now have to check the food on the shelves, because he might have done something to it. There is some concern about my brother, because if he ate any of the food it might affect his asthma somehow. I wonder why this would be. Eventually, I go to the boss and ask, very respectfully, what the relationship is between the thief and asthma.

Dream 4

I’m walking out of Church with a couple of elderly men. One of them has a cane, I think. We are talking about my grandfather, and how he is doing. In the dream, he is not doing so well physically, but his mind is still sharp. I mention this, and say something about how a good day for him is when his mind is clear. We come to some stairs and I wonder about the man with the cane. He seems to think he can do the stairs OK, and we go down. In the parking lot, the man falls down. By the time I get to him, he is back on his feet, and he starts jogging across the parking lot.

Fragment 2

Working in the lab.

7.11.2024 (Night 6)

Dream 1

A lady is assisting with a magic trick. It involves a painting. Presumably the painting is supposed to change in appearance, or something. She is holding it in such a way as to be unable to see it herself. The picture changes, I think, and when she looks at it she is surprised. In fact, she had been sure that it would not change, and is so embarrassed and/or shocked that she falls over and starts crying…

…There is a disease that some people have. The disease is fatal, but there are some fungal spores that help. I recall seeing some, and go to find them…

… There is something in which we are able to communicate with someone through a drinking glass. Then some cookies are dropped into the glass …

…There is some event going on outdoors. I get in my car to go somewhere. I see a lady coming behind me, and think that she might want a ride. I don’t want to give her a ride, so I try to leave before she can ask me. I also notice that a lot of the women around are scantily clad. As I drive away, I decide to pick up something and take it back to the event. It turns out that what I am picking up is bundles of money. They are bundled together like roofing shingles. I bring them back, but then drop them on some stairs on my way.

Meanwhile, someone asks me about the “blacker beach”. By this they mean a traditionally “black” beach (as in an African-American beach harkening back to segregation), only “black-er”. I don’t think I know exactly what they are talking about, and I start to mention this to someone standing with me. I notice that the man I am talking to is a minority, and I think I try to avoid bringing up the racial component…

Fragment 1

…There is a town where they are planning some big Gay pride thing. I’m considering going to protest…

Fragment 2

…In Church. They are singing a song. My brother is on stage, for some reason, and I don’t like that. I try to sing along. The song ends, and it is nearing the end of the service. I make some loud comment about my brother being on stage, which I then feel embarrassed about. The service soon ends though.

Fragment 3

Painting a rock on campus a gold color.

7.12.2024 (Night 7)

Fragment 1

Something about the Lone Ranger. I seem to be pretending to be tracking them, and say to whoever I’m with that I see the tracks of “two men – one white man and another white man pretending to be an Indian”. Then there is something about some poles, or something.

Dream 1

Playing lurkers.io. I get killed and respawn with a crossbow and a new thing – which turns out to be a motorcycle. At some point I either fall, or perhaps there is an explosion and I am launched into the air. I manage to make my character land on a block, and try to get back to more solid ground. I jump from block to block, until I find myself trapped with a bunch of blocks. I start digging away at these, but accidentally dislodge a bunch of them and the section that I’m standing on gives way.

7.13.2024 (Night 8)

Dream 1

Walking around Wellington. There is a little kid who starts telling me about a weird man who lives in a certain house. He can see through the window. It’s a bit vague what it is that he sees, but it seems to be kind of sinister somehow. Neighborhood kids go in there and disappear, or something. It’s almost as though this weird guy has some power over this kid. He fears that he will go into the house, either against his will or under something like hypnosis. There is also something about people starving. I think that my Church could help, but I don’t have any information for him to contact. So, I go to find some information, possibly going to the Church.

By the time I get to wherever there is contact information, the story has shifted away from the starving people and more toward the idea that the weird man is dangerous. We need to warn people about him. So, I write up a notice to give to the kid and to make copies of to post around town. But I only have one notice, so I need to find a copy machine. I start out toward a city building (the courthouse?), but on the way realize that I could go to the library and make copies too. I go into the library, and there is a scene or two in which I worry that I might be followed. I make a dash for an elevator, and make it inside before the doors close.

Fragment 1

My Aunt is going down some steps. She is going rather quickly, and in a weird way. Towards the bottom, she falls…

Fragment 2

…We are going to have a meeting, to talk about Thanksgiving. This might be at Church, at the University, or some combination of both. There is something about meeting the family in the front of the Church holding banners that say something. I have what seems to be a small t-shirt that I am holding…

Fragment 3

…Going into some catacombs. This is part of a video game. I’m talking with someone, or someone else is talking with someone, about making dirty videos. But they are talking about it in a kind of sentimental way. They hope to raise some friends here in the catacombs (as in, raising the dead). Then they start fighting with a woman.

Fragment 4

My Dad and I are walking around a town at night. There is a street that you can walk down that I like, with a bunch of lights and some arcade-style games. We start going down there, although I tell Dad that there might not be much open at this time of night. It turns out that there are some games that you can play. My Dad asks me if I want to play one of them – a ski ball kind of game. I decide to play.

Something about a person who fell in love with the sick person with whom they were communicating. This is likened to Florence Nightengale. [Interesting thing - The next day, I went to the store and saw some guy with a t-shirt that said "Florence Nightengale Vibes".]


7.15.24

Dream 1

There is some restoration work going on. Some nice wood is laying off to the side, looking as though they are going to get rid of it. I ask about it (possibly because my Dad wants it if they are going to trash it), but they are going to keep the nice wood paneling. My friend and former coworker, N_ shows up at some point. I find myself still attracted to her, even though she seems to be bald now. Also, she is married. But her husband seems to ignore her. I’m tempted to flirt with her, but she is married even if her husband is neglectful.

Then someone approaches in a vehicle. Maybe it’s her husband? Anyway, there is a scene reminiscent of something from Mad Max, with cars and such, and then something that reminds me of a scene from an old John Wayne movie in which there is a shootout. Then there seems to be an outright slaughter.

At some point, I find a room that I remember working on in the past when I did restoration work. There is a squirrel and/or a cat in this room. At first, I think, there is the squirrel. It seems to be injured, or sick. It, and/or the cat, has some large lesion on its back. Then the cat chases the squirrel, I think. Something happens to the lesion on the animal, so that there is a large hole in the back now. There was also something about a damaged baby doll – kind of creepy looking, with something that happened to its face.

At another point (possibly the same dream) people are being interrogated about something. This seems to involve torture.

Horsing Around:
I'm controlling a horse, watching it run across a stereotypically dreamy plain.
The sky is an indigo-blue color, and the grass is a highly saturated green.
I feel some sort of emotional connection with the horse.
I'm playing a game of hide and seek with other horses.
The controls are similar to controlling Epona in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
I'm navigating through a section with fences, and then later up a hill.


Alllllwayyyyyyys I want to beeee with you....and make belieeeeve with you...

Running:
I'm at a bar with a big group. Z from the game night group is there.
We're sitting at an outdoor both. Z seems to be the star of the night.
There are a couple of dark-skinned guys talking with my brother.
They are talking about me.
...
Later, I'm running away using super speed along some train tracks.
There is a bus that the group is trying to get me to go on.

Flash:
There is a documentary about my nephew, W.
My childhood cat Oreo is also part of it. The various parts of the video show my Grandma's previous homes.
Something about World of Warcraft makes it into the story.
Flash forward, and W is watching the video in present day.
