Flying in the void (WILD)
Transitioning into the dream state felt extremely satisfying this time around, usually there's resistance or other strange sensations but this felt right.
I was in the void flying around to different points. I saw a grid of blue dots appear in front of me, I flew closer to one of them to examen it. The closer I got the further away the other dots became, but the size of the dot I was moving towards remained the same size as it was when I was further away. I fly away from them and move towards some pink lights trying to imagine them being something, "I get a bit bored. In order to get any tasks done I have to be somewhere." I think.
"To my room!" Instantly I feel my body in my bed and I'm in my dimly lit room, "I'm still dreaming" I think as I stand up and take several steps, I begin to feel a repelling force that sends me straight back to the void with the colors again and wake up shortly after.

Swimming in the void (WILD)
As typical from doing WILD for me, I entered the void in this dream.
As I enter the dream I think to myself, "Why fly?" From head to toe I start doing a sort of wave motion like a fish swimming. I zoom out to look at myself and through the darkness of the void I can make myself out as an even darker shadow, I look just like a free diver.
I bring it back in and look around, I see colors and lights in the distance and swim towards them. The closer I get to the light the louder and more clearly I hear a woman singing in a language I don't recognize. "It's probably gibberish." I think to myself as I'm trying to understand her. The last thing I remember her saying was "China man." All of the lights and colors in the void start becoming more intense and begin transforming.
Now I'm in a pitch-black room with a huge high window and two large metal supports crossing it in the center. Outside the window I can see snowflakes and a soft blue light entering the room that illuminates about 50 penguin toys that are hanging from strings on the ceiling.



I fly upwards to get a better look outside , I see that one of the support bars is impaling a speed limit sign at the base that reads "SPEED LIMIT 24". Everything goes black for a second before lighting back up again.
Now I'm outside of the room on a balcony and there's a thick layer of snow everywhere. I think of doing my first of three tasks, banishing something, and look off the edge. There're a few dumpsters on the ground outside and I say "Disappear!" while closing my fist and looking at one of them.
It doesn't go away instantly, instead I have to look to the left then back at it for it to work. I start thinking of what else I can do, and I turn around to try and find a pencil to draw a stick man with. The dream begins fading away as I'm walking, I start clapping my hands and I can even feel the slight sting from it. It brings the dream back and I continue walking and spinning around to try and keep it going for longer. Once I enter a hallway the dream disappears for good, and I wake up.

* 2024-07-15 00:00 Sun comp night #10
* (f) I'm on a tall steep hillside looking down the slope, (there is a coast line below?) there are people below and there is also a bear or other monster, and I need to get down so I jump over the railing and land down below.
* Special bike, racing down hill, back up take DannyD down to show it, we look at it, he recalls how (his mom?) taught him to do tricks on it by pushing on the space between the handle bars, then some guy shows up with a bag (of food?), he's been doing deliveries down the steep hill which has been closed for some show, we three get together and talk about something
* I return back up to the top, and show my pass to the guard station, I see and greet MarkD and his daughter N, give Mark a hug, N shies away. I go up in an elevator with one of the guards, a friend of mine hides through a door on the roof of the elevator. MarkD is in fact in charge of the security/guard station, I'm arguing that my documentation is perfectly acceptable, there are 3 guards at computers and they're closely inspecting my papers.
* DO Overhead of special golf course, a panoramic, panning view of beautiful mountain scenes and valley, with lush green golf courses nestled in between the groups of trees and hills, I think (narrator?) there are very special greens with a special material, and also the place where you tee off, (that prevents divots from being kicked up when you tee off?), I'm a newbie at golf, I wonder if I'll just embarrass myself or if I'll ruin the turf with my bad technique.
* (f) guy on stage and someone ways something about poisoned strawberries
* Traffic argument I'm standing on a raised area above a street looking down at the street, someone comes to park his car and a guy explains this is illegal, and points to signs showing this. I look at those signs, and I see the parking manager rotate the signs to make them visible, and I talk about those signs and how they are ambiguous because you can't tell which way they're pointing to, which traffic direction they're preventing parking on.
* Read a newspaper about a woman who was in an accident, how she ended up dying after the accident, then I relive the memory of how the car accident happened and see her lying bloody in the wreck
* I'm in a video game, enter through a low opening into a large room/arena where there is a huge choice of games, the games are displayed on huge billboards or screens all around the room, there is a particular game that is popular but very hard, the game names are displayed in very large type on the screens [forgotten], a female store clerk comes up to me and offers me version 5 of some game as a private, free download, she's doing this because I previously left her a bad review and she wants me to instead leave a review praising/thanking her, it'll make her record look a lot better
* Come around a corner in an outdoor area (dark [DS]), and some kids are there beating up another kid, really throwing strong punches. Then the kids all come out, and my kids are there, too, and the kid who were fighting are now handing a bag containing some stuffed toys to my kids, I think these may have been some of their (my kids) favorites, they select some?

Dream fragments (4):
5 of my ‘senses’ are personified in a way and all meditating. Waiting on the last sense to meditate. Then everything will be in harmony. Something about flying a dragon

An old manager from work is being tracked down by other producer, but he’s being standoffish. I say not to blame him, he’s had a difficult life, personally and at work.

I’m escaping attack, being driven in a car, through a city.

Getting stuck in futuristic pod. The insides are made of one LED screen, and it’s very uncomfortable. Not sure what kind of travel, but get the feeling of Space travel? Get out and it seems like a lot of people had traveled in these pods

My dream journal is a bit mixed up because I started a new one on a new laptop, but have also been making entries on my old one on an older laptop. Now I'm out of town and only have my older laptop, so here are some of the entries so far:

July 9th, 2024 (Comp night 4)

Fragment 1

At a library. There is a book sale going on. I don’t think there is much time left before the book sale ends (or maybe I have to leave soon) and I go to look at the shelves rather quickly. I see a nicely bound set of Edgar Allen Poe stories.

Fragment 2

There is some sort of computer game in which you do something with alarm clocks. The alarm clocks are also traps of some kind.

Fragment 3

Something about candy.

Dream 1

There is a place where it is illegal to sell grain to women. But there are people who work on threshing grain in secret, in sort of deep cylindrical tanks where it can’t be seen what they are doing. Women come here and are secretly given grain. This turns somehow into colored rocks that are all put into a box together (not exactly sure I remember how it transitioned into this). Then there is something where people have been baptized, but in some cases nails are sticking out of boards on the side of the house (not sure how that relates). I go around trying to pound the nails into place. I think at first I see a couple sticking out of a stove top, but on second glance I don’t see them. Meanwhile, someone I am with has strep throat. I realize that I should probably cover my face to avoid catching it. There might be a lady there too, and there is something in my mind about how this is like Muslim women in some places covering their faces.

Now I’m moving through a jungle. We might be chased at this point. There is a kid with us, and as we come to a corner of some dense vegetation a snake appears and looks threatening. The get gets really aggressive, as though they are trying to fight the snake in panic. This seems like a bad idea to me, but somehow the kid avoids getting bitten by the snake.

Meanwhile, Indiana Jones has become involved. Possibly, during the snake scene, someone is using his whip to fight the snake. There is a man with us, maybe a guide or something, who has a ring. Looking closely at the ring you can see what looks like an image with a shield or something that is connected to the lost continent of Atlantis. This man is also a donkey, somehow.

Fragment 4

At my old job. I have made a box for something, and one or two other things that I think turned out nicely. I hope this will impress the boss.

Fragment 5

Something about my belt.

July 10th, 2024 (Comp Night 5)

Fragment 1

I am at the edge of a lake with another person. This person is telling me his theory that we might actually be in a dream. I’m a bit skeptical of this theory, but I am also wondering what difference it would make if this were a dream. He says something about having “free will”. But I argue that we have free will already, and we can do whatever we want even if this is a dream.

Fragment 2

Walking down the street where I used to live. I get to the corner, where my friend’s house was. There is a library here. I have been drinking something, and want to throw away my bottle or cup at the library. I find a trash can, but then I see that there is also a recycling bin. I take the bottle/cup out of the trash and put it in the recycling bin. Meanwhile, I glance inside the library to see the old familiar sites. They seem to have put in a big fancy fireplace and/or stage that wasn’t there before.

Fragment 3

Walking with my grandfather and I think one or two other people. There is a man and a woman together. They get into an argument, I think, and the man starts chasing after the woman as though he is going to hurt her. I try to intervene, but my grandfather (who is deceased in waking life but is in his 90s in this dream) is quicker. He runs after the couple in defense of the woman.

Dream 1

Playing a game. Possibly the lurkers.io game I play a lot and dream about. There is a video feed with some other players. They are sitting at their keyboards as though they are driving vehicles. I’m looking at them through what looks like the back cab window of a pickup truck. They look through at me, and one of them might even partially crawl through the window. He looks around my room, and asks about a certificate I have from the “Smith Family of Builders”. I explain that that is where I used to work.

Fragment 4

There is a package, with a time bomb in it. You can hear it ticking if you listen closely. Someone runs to get help, but in the meantime we try to get the package wet (somehow that would help). We fill a sink and toss the package in there, in the nick of time I guess.

July 14th, 2024 (Comp Night 9)

Dream 1

At my grandparents' old house. I go to use the bathroom. I have a couple of options here. I could use a nice bathroom near the bedroom, or I could use a porta-potty kind of thing that is located underneath the bed in the bedroom. I get the idea that I should use the porta-potty, possibly because I feel like I’m not supposed to flush if I use the toilet in the bathroom. The porta-potty is located beneath the mattress, which I pull back from the bed. I’m a bit indecisive about this though, and I might end up going into the bathroom instead. I try to lock the door here, because my grandmother seems to be coming along and I’m afraid that she might accidentally come into the bathroom. This, in fact, happens. She has a tape recorder, or might be looking for a tape recorder. Rummaging through some drawers.

Fragment 1

I’m looking at someone’s dating profile. It shows a woman of Asian descent, wearing a dress, I think. She is dancing in what looks like a rain storm inside of a store. She might be singing the song “Singing in the Rain”. A wider view shows that the store, which sells shoes and other things, has showers mounted on a wall, and these are turned on.

Fragment 2

Talking to a friend on the phone. Or trying to. Somehow I think Abe is on the phone too. There is something odd going on with the phone.

Before WBTB

Decay:
I'm at my childhood home with Robert F. Kennedy on the phone. I'm supposed to pick him up at the airport.
I'm telling him about several other stressors that are happening at the moment, getting to why I will be delayed.
I'm also supposed to pick up my friend D from somewhere.
On the kitchen table, there is a game of Monopoly left out. I arrange the pieces in a funny way anticipating the payoff later when everyone arrives.
Looking around the home - it is in disrepair. Dusty and broken.
But Oreo, my childhood cat is there. I marvel that she is still alive somehow.
She looks like she hasn't eaten in a long time, with her fur all patchy.
My Grandma and some others in the group tell me I can't help her and I have to leave.
I don't want to leave her alone so I pick her up and bring her home with us.
...
Later we are in the driveway, and there are 3 or 4 cars all in it.
This makes it difficult to leave.


How could I say no to this?

After WBTB

Mannikin:
I'm at my Grandma's current condo. It is late at night and I'm on a couch that is further down the den than it should be.
There is a clothing mannikin out near the hallway. It is slowly swaying. I notice that it has a wig similar to my Grandma's on.
I worry about the mannikin turning to face me, and then it does.
It has two black voids for eye holes, and I understand immediately that my Grandma's soul is trapped in this mannikin.
The mannikin falls down and breaks into pieces.
I scream, and my girlfriend wakes me up. I hear myself making a weird scream-moan sound.


Well, this image exists now.

Fragment:
I'm with my Grandma and Uncle at a hotel. They are on one bed together and I am on the other.
I'm talking about how my girlfriend's family stresses her out all the time.

Summer Competition - Night 9

1. Mall Balcony (LD)
I'm in what seems to be a mall thinking about states of consciousness, especially, LDing. I turn to Bran and become lucid. I tell him to check out what I'm going to do. I fly upward toward a walkway a couple stories above with a railing on the edge. As I fly, it seems as though I'm not making progress at the midway point. Time for hookshot.I raise my right arm and fire a hookshot to the upper rail. I immediately zoom up to it and float over. I notice dad far down tot he left and fly over to him.
"Hey dad." I look down at my hands, breathing slowly, grounding. I wake up.

Record - Back to Sleep.
2. Mall Walkway (LD)
I'm in a mall walking in a central area.
"This is a dream...This is a dream...This is a dream." My hands come out in front of me as I become lucid.
"I'm lucid". I turn left, considering some control. I see a large metallic kiosk and figure I may as well do some super strength. I pick the whole thing up and chuck it down the central walkway of the mall. I then turn right and see a guy in a suit working behind a counter area. I decide to interact, so I float over to him and adjust his bowtie, laughing. I then decide to use invisibility to steal the gold pin he's wearing. I snap, go invisible, and snatch it easily - the man looks past me as I do so. I come out of invisibility and place it back into his hand, laughing. I float off farther down the central walkway and take in the sites of the shops to the side. I go for some time dilation and begin to levitate. I imagine the scene freezing over and see a bit of vague frost over the edge of my field of vision. I imagine the dream freezing in time. I stand back up and float farther down, going for fireball. It doesn't cast right away, so I look at my right hand for the ring of elements and see it on my index finger. I then go to cast fireblast, yet don't have any luck. I continue to float forward to a room toward the edge of the mall. Several people are gathered, especially in an area to the left which drops down slight via a couple of stairs - they appear to be playing instruments. I explore toward the back and notice a large black double door in a dim area. I begin to feel the dream may be fading. I turn back from where I came, exploring in that area. Once again, I find a double door to the left in a dim area. I begin to imagine that it's daytime beyond. As I turn, the whole area seems to dim. I imagine a light turning on in front of me and begin to see a white light appearing in the walkway in front of me, illuminating around it. The dream rapidly fades, however, and I wake up.

Record - Back to Sleep

3. Hotel Room (LD)
I'm in a bathroom for a solid two to three minutes, thinking about dreams and noticing my dream signs. I think that with practicing heightened awareness, I may be able to notice more. I look around. Where the heck am I?? I feel a bit of concern and stand up.
Nose pinch. I'm lucid. I begin thinking about what I'd like to do and phase into the door to my right. The dream quickly goes to void. I start rubbing around in the void for a while, waiting; I'm unsure if I'm going to wake up and I'm trying to prevent it. I soon find myself on the floor of a hotel room, right in front of a queen bed. I stand, walk over to the sheets, and pull them back. I notice it's Han. I give her a big hug. I soon wake up.

* Slide labyrinth race I'm in a canal of water, like a "lazy river" at a water park, and on the other side of the canal and a bit to my left are about 3-4 people standing outside on the edge of the canal, on swimmer's starting platforms, a bit elevated, there is a guy with an erection on the right that grabs my attention, his <ahem> is entirely outside his outfit. There is a starting signal and they all dive into the water and start to swim (to my right). There are some sports commentators narrating and they mention the guy's thang hanging outside his suit. I'm following behind them. They're all swimming very strangely, some variant of butterfly with very odd movements, I wonder how they can swim like this. There are about 4-5 people in front of me. (Something about them beings wolves?). The canal is now very narrow and I don't notice water any more, it is like a blue plastic water park water slide tunnel. There are some brightly colored only shaped protrusions in the slide (yellow? Red?) I have a top-down view of the water slide, it is a huge, highly elevated, serpentine, tightly packed labyrinth of these tightly turning water slide tubes, without roofs/tops. I get a view of the whole thing from my perspective. I know the contest is a race to find something. The goal is also to gain abilities from things found in the slide. I'm thinking whether I can use this top view to search for the goal item(s).
* Car dealer A famous female celebrity can't parallel park, I watch her try (?) and she just leaves. I think there is ample curb space in order to park. I and woman friend are also looking to park, I notice there is a lot where there is a car dealer we know to the right of the road we're on, and I see a number of available parking places, and I think this is unusual as normally there aren't any spaces. We're now standing besides a car and the dealer is there, it's a car he will be selling, sort of a red, low sporty model. The dealer asks if we like our car, I say yes but am hesitant because I seem to recall that there were problems, but I don't remember the details.
* Christmas Carols in an indoor area like a living room of a home, there are people there [DS] there is one guy in particular near the far wall and he starts singing Christmas carols, I join in, and do some harmonizing, I change to a new Carol
* I'm holding a piece of an ear, it's the outer edge, it feels rubbery, I try chewing on it a bit and it's very tough. I know that a crook is looking for a former colleague they think is a snitch
* I come up to the back of a van which is open and there is a lot of electronic equipment inside. A woman there (Janet L? From company K?) is preparing to perform surgery. I ask if that's a good idea since the electronics were recently located in a plate that flooded and probably shorted out. She answers [forgot]
* With Wife L L and I are hugging and tumbling to the ground, we roll around a little bit and stop, laughing. I notice that L stops with her head near the front left wheel of a parked car, I think that would have been bad if the car had been driving, and think it's a dangerous position. My POV moves to a bed, and I remember happier days when we were more active.

Nothing on day 8

Short lucid on day 9

I moved my alarm a little when i woke up and soon found myself in my bed dreaming, did a nose pinch and realised im dreaming (+1), it was really dark so i tried to take off my sleep mask to add a bit of light (+5) but i needed more so i took off over 10 of them (+5) till i could see clearly, went to look out of my window but an irl sound pulled me out of the drem, i waited till i found myself walking outside and instantly knew i was dreaming, i asked for wings and felt them before flying to make sure it wouldnt be the half working flight i had last time (+5), i started flying around landing on skyscrapers till i felt like it could be called fast flight (+10)(+10), i was trying to do everything as possible because i knew i had very little time till my alarm rings, i then flew back to the ground and started looking for a pebble on the ground to put in my mouth (currently unsure why), i knew it wouldnt feel good, but it was worse than i imagined, it felt awfull on my teeth (+5) and the rock dust made my mouth feel very dry, then my alarm woke me up.

Before WBTB

Science Blaster:
I'm in a house that resembles my Grandma's current one. It's an upper floor but it is modeled after the basement.
There is some competition going on, related to the Youtube Channel, Game Theory.
I realize that I need to take a shower.
I notice that there is a queue of people lined up waiting to use the men's bathroom to shower.
I thought I noticed my brother in the distance, but when I got closer it is somebody else.
I realize now that we are here for auditions of some kind, related to Game Theory.
I start to stress out, but I remember that there is another bathroom further away. Maybe there isn't so long a wait there.
I leave the hallway through some double doors and end up in a grocery store. I start moving to the right, toward the other end of the store.
As I'm walking I stop myself.
"Wait a minute...high stress, video games...those are two of my prospective memory targets!"
Rather than remember to reality check or question reality, I pull up my phone and look up ways to de-stress.
According to dream Youtube, stress is often held in the shoulders, so I try to relax my shoulders.
Moving on, I reach the opposite hallway, and see a private area. There is a frame video device that plays the classic Game Theory intro, Science Blaster.
I think to myself about how cringe my old intro is. Strangely, I seem to take credit for it.
I find a bedroom and a place where I can shower connected to it.
...
I'm back in the basement-like area with my sister. I think about how our relationship is strained and maybe I should try to fix it.
We are laying together on a beanbag, and she has a laptop open. We are watching a show together.
From on top of an entertainment center that isn't there in reality, she opens a secret compartment and reveals a hookah pipe. I tell her:
"You know, I just want to say that I know you aren't a drug addict...I think of you as more of somebody who experimented a bit and then unfairly earned a bad rap."
This seems to make her happy, and it happened to be the truth, so a strong warm feeling hits the dream.

After WBTB

Fragment:
My parents are fighting about money.

Dream #1:
I win some competition and get the chance to stay in some sort of futuristic home. It almost looks like it could be the interior of an underground lab or spaceship, with white curved walls and automated glass walls. I also knew that some part of it was a trick or a joke. I started looking around for details that would give the ‘trick’ away and noticed dirt and small debris on the otherwise perfect ground and also the quality of the light passing through the tinted doorway. I also start pouring water through the doorway into the next room to try and flush out some sort of ‘jump scare’ that I knew was coming. The room beyond had modern high stools around circular white tables.

Lucid Dream - DILD
I’m showing a dream character how to do a reality check, then realize I have extra fingers. I double check my hand to confirm that I’m dreaming. I try and stabilize by rubbing hands together, and eating strawberry. The strawberry has a faint taste, so I ask if it can be sweeter with moderate success. Then think I need to complete the epic weapon creation task but fall back into dreaming.

Dream #1:
It’s night and everything’s quiet. I can feel the cool air. I’m looking at the inky black starlit sky and a bright shooting star arcs through the sky with a super long tail. It’s gets brighter and brighter until it hits the ground right next to me. It creates small crater and I immediately go to pick it up. There’s another person with me, who gets wet paper towels to help pick it up in case it’s hot. The stone is oblong smooth and about the size of my hand. It looks like labradorite. I feel the wet paper towels as I pick up the stone, but it’s not hot. I knew other people would be after this stone, so I go into my childhood home to find a hiding place for it. I go to the dining room and lift up one of the wood floor boards, thinking to hide it there. However, as I pry back the board and look through, I see that instead of a space to hide the stone, I’m looking through a portal that opens from the ceiling and looks down at myself prying up the floor board. Kind of an infinity portal/mirror effect is created. I’m somehow able to hide the stone in this portal zone just as a scary man enters the house, looking for the stone. I run into the basement, and out the basement hatch which leads outside. Once outside, I realize that the chandelier is swinging in the dining room since I bumped it while reaching through the ceiling portal. I’m afraid the man will notice it and realize where I hid the stone, so need to go back and fix it. Outside I meet Dr. Suess-like animal with portal mouth that I jump through to quickly get back to the chandelier and stop its swinging before the man sees.. I pop back outside and the man is suspicious that I’m tricking him. I see that he is now holding my sister hostage, so I’m unsure what to do.

Dream #2:
I’m at some sort of fundraiser campaign for an old politician. I’m in charge of the money and have lied about some sort of large donation for the campaign. I approach the candidate, who is an elderly man, and I ask if he’s ok with the lying and he says we have no other choice. I disagree and realize that we will be found out and his career will be ruined. It’s better not to win than to have this happen. I rush downstairs to try and find where I put the paperwork. On the way, I get stuck in reoccurring wood dream staircases behind the walls of the building complex. I’m trying to find the basement room where I hid the paperwork, but can remember which staircase leads to it.

Dream fragments:
Dream fragment where I’m walking next to a woman with two dogs. One is a German shepherd that I pet and it seems friendly. I belatedly ask for permission, and it is granted. We come upon a really steep grassy hill, almost in the shape of an amphitheater. Other people are sliding down the sides, and we do so as well.

Dream fragment where partner and I are watching movie. Its black and white on a projector, and other dream characters seem interested to watch too.

Me and my fiance's dad were exploring San Francisco when we came across what was apparently the main street of the Castro district. It was mostly candy shops with occasional swedish theming, which tracks with how the area used to be a little scandinavia of sorts. One of the places tried ripping us off. One of the smaller boxes of candy was like, 60 dollars. We told the owner and he reprimanded the other owner who was responsible for doing that. I think I made a personal jab or something and they laid on the ground, although I clarified that it was meant to be a lighthearted thing. Afterwards, me and my fiance's dad left and we ended up deciding it was time for dinner. One incredibly weird crosswalk later, we crossed into a poorly upkept part of the city, where we found an abandoned office/mental health clinic of sorts. However, it looked more like my old house with an extra room attached. I went up some stairs and found the file of a friend of mine from high school who apparently had died in the dream long before the events of it took place. It was mainly screenshots of their discord history with a queerplatonic partner of mine, who in real life she has never met. After that I went downstairs to the kitchen, opened the (still running) fridge and debated whether or not to eat the catfish. It had been sitting in here for years but it looked just fine. I took a small bite and it tasted just weird enough for me to spit it out and stick in back in the fridge. My fiance's dad came around the corner down the hall in a way that initially scared me considering the whole fact that we were in an abandoned building at night but he apologized and we left.

I had one dream where I was with some people in a house and I was doing some dream parkour in it or something. Then I was playing guitar with one of the guys.

Another dream where Jamie seemed to be in high anxiety and she went up to raven asking for help.

The Jamie voice seems to have anxiety. I was assured yet again that she is safe. I'm beginning to question if the warnings were actually from Jesus. Usually my encounters him yield a sense of safety and peace. So maybe that wasn't from him??? In any case I have been assured there is no danger. Certainly don't go looking for it either. I apologize for not questioning my warnings and recklessly posting them.

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 8

1. Chilling On The Roof (LD)
I continue to fly alongside the edge of some large properties. I become lucid as I turn toward a home in the far distance. I’ll explore a bit. It’s night and continue to fly toward the house, windows illuminated in dim yellow light. I finally reach the home and phase through a back door. Once inside, I hear a family having a conversation in the back area. I approach and snap to go invisible. I see two daughters and mother seemingly cooking dinner - they’re standing around a central island and seem to be engaged in tasks while having a conversation. They look right past me and I decide to use some dream control to easily phase through them. I close my left fist in front of me and imagine it charging with energy. I phase straight through the two sisters without them detecting anything, handing a left and continuing into a back area. I find myself in a quite large pantry with wooden shelves. I look around a bit and see many cabinets throughout as well as shelves stocked with various containers of food. I continue to explore the cabinets, looking for something to eat, yet only find boxes of what appears to be pasta and other non-perishables I’m not entirely interested in. I finally look at a bottom shelf and find a stack of what appear to be fig newtons. I figure they look pretty good and I grab the box as the younger sister comes in. I simply avoid her, walk out and head to the stairs. I phase through a large glass portion of the outer wall - essentially a massive window - as I reach the mid point of the stairs and head out onto a shingled portion of the roof. I see several people down below in what appears to be an upscale alleyway. One of them seems to look up briefly in my direction as I sit down and take a bite of the fig newtons. I bite in and they’re really good. I think of just staying put and chilling in dreams as well as how long I can hang out here. I should probably say grace. I close my eyes for a moment and wake up.

2. The Bar (LD)
I’m walking in what appears to be a mall and turn toward the entryway of a store. I look inside and see an interested painting with orange hues and figure it would be cool for a chill spot. I walk inside and become lucid. The room seems to extend down to the right and it looks a bit like a bar. I begin to consider some dream control as I walk toward the bar area. I walk up to a guy who’s seated with his laptop and decide to use some electronics. I grab his mouse, move the cursor to some icons at the bottom, and click on a reddish orange one that looks somewhat like a fox head. Nothing happens. I decide to move on quickly and turn to see two large gray pieces of machinery - possibly a large ATM and another device. I grab one large piece of machinery and throw it. Hmm what was the order of the three step I posted last night again? I head toward a large contraption and phase through, avoiding a partial phase on the smaller one. I begin to think of my three step and begin to remember TK. I look at the far end of the bar area and see several pieces of what appear to be exercise equipment. I go for TK on a slightly smaller piece and it bobs back and forth a bit, yet quickly switch to the larger piece. I quickly raise it up to the ceiling and let it drop back down. I turn back toward the bar and


3. Playgrounds & Pizzerias (LD)
I continue to drive with the two guys, talking about the space travel we’re going to embark on. We turn to head toward a small bridge and I’m become lucid. I begin thinking about what I’m going to do and the awareness wanes for a short moment. I focus my awareness and the scene comes back into view. I fly up out of the car which seems to be a convertible and down the street. I notice a massive fire hydrant to my right, roughly twice the height and twice the diameter of a normal hydrant. I go for super strength, smashing my knee into it and bending the entire thing into the ground. I then begin considering my three step. My order was off in the last lucid…I need to start with transformation. Mid flight, I turn toward a nearby sign and shapeshift to crow form. It’s quite accurate and I feel very satisfied with how it feels. I approach the sign and phase straight through the center. I revert to humanoid form and face some playground equipment situated to the left. I look at a smaller piece at first before focusing on the larger one behind. I quickly lift he huge piece with TK and begin moving it rapidly to the right, some ten meters in the air. I move it in front of a few kids in the distance before flinging it to the right. I continue to float forward and turn toward a seating area nearby to the right. I see Jay and the other kid I was riding with. They’re sitting on a bench in an area which seems to have woodchips to walk on. I begin to think of Lunar’s guide from the previous night and asking persistent characters to remind you that you’re dreaming. I turn toward Jay.
“From now on, when we’re together in dreams, just remind me I’m dreaming so we can continue doing things in lucids.” He nods at me with understanding. I turn toward the other friend and reiterate the point before drilling it in once again with the pair. I turn from them and consider ways in which to score more points - I run through the competition list in my mind. I’ll do some basic summoning and eating. I head toward the brick wall in front of me, yet opt for a phase though the somewhat opaque, orange tinted window as I don’t want to risk going to void. I find myself in a somewhat dim restaurant with a long, dark wooden table to my right, several kids eating a meal of bread and some other times. I snap to go invisible, then reach forward. They look right through me and I grab the smaller item on the plate in front of me, unnoticed. I bite into it - it tastes like pumpernickel bread with some type of cinnamon butter - it’s pretty good. I should still do some summoning. I head toward the room beyond thinking of something to summon when I notice several chefs working in what appears to be a kitchen area. To the left, I see a fairly long stainless steel storage section with pizzas being heated up inside. There are two types to choose from, one containing pepperoni. I think of Sensei heading to pizza shops in Zodra and figure I’ll give it a shot in Nervaru. I gran one of the slices which seems like it’s an ‘extra cheese’ slice. I begin to walk to a nearby seat, yet take a bit as I want to make sure I fit it in. The taste is great and quite accurate as well. I take a seat and soon wake up.

* Includes 2024-07-12 #310, 311 DILDs (LD #15,16 reboot '24) [13, 18, 16 [2], 0, 5, 9, 1, 9, 1, 5, 8, 10, 9, 8[2] ]
* Night-time, dark outside, Riding in car back right seat, the windshield frosted over I'm very nervous that driver can't see, (I do a nose pinch? Not clear result?). I'm trying to look through the windshield to see how the driver's driving. It seems he's driving on the left side of the street, and it seems he's driving really fast based on the conditions. I wonder if the frost/fog on the windshield will melt to give a better view. We arrive to a (checkpoint?) and I see a lot of large animals outside the right window, walking. Horses, zebras, etc.
* LD #310. I'm walking around an indoor dark/twilight-lit [DS] area, enter a rest area to the right off of the main corridor with a lot of couches, I think I'll sit down, I turn around and look back towards the hallway, studying the people there. All the couches are occupied by identical older women with huge tall white hairdos, they're sleeping, and each is holding a child in their arms. The fact that they look identical is amusing/interesting to me, I want to call Lena to see this. I think this is the place that the babushkas come to rest while the mothers are doing something. I see there is nowhere to sit down, so I decide to leave, but now there are even more, younger teen girls, blocking the exit path[DS] that I entered on, I move to leave and perhaps having to climb slowly over them, but they get out of my way, and I leave the area back into the hallway. Suddenly I stop, suspect I'm dreaming, nose pinch, get lucid, feel joy, immediately turn and walk quickly the other way. I rub my hands vigorously as I walk, and I feel the dream move from a bit unstable into stable, I enter a huge, bright super-high-ceiling atrium/area. There are people walking and standing around. The walls are white(?) [DS]. To my left is a tall work table with computer monitors on it, and a middle-aged woman is just leaving the table, I go over to her, say "Hi, my name's <>, what's your name?" She answers "Carol". I think she's teaching something to students at this table. I ask "what are you teaching here" but she walks by without answering. I move forwards into the center of the room, walk up to someone [forgot], state my name, ask theirs, don't recall answer. I move to the right towards a wall and there is a holographic display, rectangular, set atop a pedestal a few feet away from the wall, the screen is about 4 feet off the ground, translucent, showing some image, I stick my arm through the screen and feel a sort of electric current in my arm, laugh, and keep on walking. I come across a really tall big man [DS], and ask him to give me his light saber. He just walks by. I turn towards the wall and there is an opening, a corridor leading to a (loading dock?) in the distance, and call out to the guys there, "Hey, give me a light saber!" When I speak I hear that there is an echo in the area and think that it's cool that dreams can recreate that as well. I smack my hand on the wall of the corridor a few times to listen to the echo, as I'm doing this, I see a large troupe of people enter into view perpendicular to the hallway, moving from my right to my left, as if there is a perpendicular hallway there, and I notice that they all (10-20 or more of them, walking quickly) dressed entirely, head to foot, in bright white clothing (shirts, pants, shoes, hats, all white). I have a tug of interest in following them but don't. I turn around and I'm at a place where there's a rectangular monolith in the large area, and I see that people are jumping and flying from my area up to the 2nd floor. I want to do this, too. But I feel like someone has latched on to me on my left side, I push/shove that person away, then I bend my legs and jump up to fly, I float easily high up almost to the ceiling, above the level of the 2nd floor balcony, and think that this is an area of anti-gravity. I land on the 2nd floor balcony and sit at a table that's outside of a food stand/burger joint. I'm sitting across from a picnic table [DS] from Andy [colleague from company 3] and say "Hi, Andy, welcome to my lucid dream!" He answers something [forgot]. I'm eating something like a hot dog, and I'm telling the guy across from me at the table (now an unknown Indian guy) "nobody will give me their light saber!". He says "you need to call (the support hotline at) 10354", I repeat the digits to make sure I understand them, he confirms, and then a girl arrives with a 4-foot long burrito/gyros/food thing, it looks really good, but I have a feeling it's not quite what I wanted. The thing that I'm trying to eat, a hot dog, is as tough as leather, I can barely chew it, I can't tear off a new piece, I have to reach up and grab the hot dog with one hand and pull it out of my mouth to cut off a piece to eat, fade to awake.

* Smashing dishes in kitchen. I'm in an industrial kitchen like in a large restaurant. I have the urge to pick up piles of plates and smash them, I pick them up and throw them against the wall and they shatter with an incredibly satisfying sound, and pieces fall to the floor. I turn around and there is a small larder behind me, open (no door), and I pick up another pile of plates and throw it strongly into this area, there is more smashing/breaking sounds, and I watch in satisfaction as other things, like a smoke stack, in the corner of the larder, slowly topple over and also fall to the floor with a crashing sound.

* LD #311 Glove guys squeeze door pizza spaghetti Suzanne closet. I'm examining a computer board, there are 3 (middle eastern?) guys standing around me, it's their board, there is a built-in keyboard, and a number of components, I'm looking at and the guys are explaining the components, the one on the far left-hand side of the board, the owner explains is something like a geiger-counter. Then we're sliding on a smooth concrete path with slightly raised edges like on a slide, with a rounded lip, the path goes through several curves and ends up in a room like a large kitchen, we stand up and high-five each other. I was sitting on the computer board while sliding, I wonder if this might damage it. Inside this kitchen I see some pizza (combo like RT KAS) that I have brought. The guy offers his, and I take a look at it, it is in a bag, and I think it's not as good as mine but I see it does have some interesting meats, like sausage, and probably would be good.
* I'm standing in a room with the board/sliding guy. He mentions that there are some guys in a glove/bag that want something. I see a bag by the wall with something light shining out from it, I go over and look inside, it's like a stairway or tunnel inside, and at the bottom of the glove/bag there is a very bright light, I can't fit though, but I put my face into the top of the bag and look down, and it's like a small bright screen is in the bag on the bottom, but it's not a screen, but a "real" scene. There are about 3 guys in there, sort of like gang thugs, and they want something from me. I feel like I don't have the time or inclination to deal with them, so I tell them I have to go do something. I stand up and turn around towards the guy, while still viewing the scene in the bottom of the glove, fascinated, and say "hey, do you know you have little guys living in this bag?". He answers: "Yeah, and I have some others in my baseball catcher's mitt". I visualize a catcher's mitt then, and think that would be easier to communicate with them than the bag because the mitt is more open. Then the craziness of the situation hits me, I think I'm probably dreaming, and a nose pinch confirms I'm dreaming. Woohoo, a second lucid dream in one night! I'm facing a door to the kitchen we ended up in earlier after sliding, and I move through this door. I know there is a small access door on the bottom (like a doggy door) but it's too small for me, but I imagine that I go through it and fit anyway, and make it into the kitchen. I'm with Suzanne B. I want to eat my pizza, I think of having a slice, but I know that SB has prepared spaghetti for us, and she's leading us to a table, there is a round plate on it and I see some red sauce. I'm wearing a heavy coat and SB asks if I want to take it off, I say yes, she leads us to the first room and to a coat closet, I imagine it's a regular closet in an entryway, I take off the jacket (it's very fluffy like a down parka), and hand it to her. Then I notice that the closet is a door built in to the wall, low, and very narrow. The door is blocked by a small table (with a lamp on it)? As I'm looking at and thinking about this closet, I wake up.
