I wake up in bed, move a bit and think "Oh, I woke up and the blanket is loose... Or actually, let me make this a dream!". So I stop moving with my body and start moving with my mind and expect the blanket to be stuck and show resistance. Sure enough that works, and I roll out of bed and am standing in my room in a dream.

I walk a bit in direction of my living room, but stop for a moment to do a hand RC and breathe and calm down to stabilize. It actually works quite well. I go into my living room and there's something going on with my PC. I largely ignore it but look under my keyboard to try to summon a DV coin. No luck... I go to the window and exit my house.

The scenery is different than last dream I did this, closer to IRL but still different. The street I live on is much wider, with two lanes, and there's no houses on the other side. My landlord's house seems to have disappeared as well. It's early in the morning and the air is cool. There's not a lot of people around. Some joggers, older people and some cars pass by. I take it easy since I know the dream is relatively new and the longer I give it to form, the better it'll be.

Since the first step of my 3-step task is talking with someone, I see an older lady walking and decide to approach here to try to talk to here. However, I get the feeling she really doesn't want that so I back off. I walk a bit and decide to use super speed to get somewhere more interesting fast. I run very fast at first but feel stability slipping, so I decide to go at moderate super speed instead. That works much better.

I am now in a large, wide street with tall building to either side. As I'm walking down, I notice that on the other side of the street there's a homeless-looking man asking for coins. Too people pass him by and ignore him. I try to look for some DV coins on the floor, but can't find any. I move on.

Suddenly I hear music from a flute-like instrument. It's coming from a building that looks like a church, but is more square. I fly in through a window and I see, in a corner a group of people. There's an older man, in his 50s or 60s sitting in a sofa. He's clearly the boss. There's a bunch of girls surrounding him and 2-3 musicians playing that delightful music. As I land, everyone goes away except the man. I try to make one of the girls stay by controlling here mind, but that doesn't work out. In any case, there's still a person there, so this is my chance to complete the task.

The man is looking at me with a smile and curious eyes. I approach and introduce myseflname, sitting next to him on the sofa.

He thinks for a bit and says, "I'm the only other real person here.".
"Oh really?", I ask.
"Yes, this is a dream and only me and you are LDers."
"How do we know there's not a third person around."
He smiles and shrugs, "We don't!"
I think for a bit and ask, "Well, since you're an LDer and seemed to have such a big group of people around you, can you give me some tips?" (my second step of the 3-step task).
"Hmm, you should try to talk to everyone you encounter" he says. Seems like good advice.

We go on a bit longer about quitting social media, but I don't remember that conversation quite well. The final step of my 3-step task is flying and I know I have already done it in the dream, but it was out of order. So I decide to fly away and as I do that the dream ends and I "wake up" in front of my computer, to write down the dream.

Had a small nap. During which I had a flash of Jamie walking in Bowden on the trail behind the A&W that leads to the streets. Ah did she visit? I wish I could have seen her. She gotta start doing those drive bys again and let me know she's okay.

Apparently Jesus says she's safe. Her voice said she was warned in another way... Well whatever it was, better to listen. I hope my post didn't cause any anxiety. Just be careful.

7/12/2024 dream so there was this movie coming out it was this asteroid was gonna destroy earth so they all die and he where in this house and there was this old lady too so flash forward idk what happened bu we all covered in dirt and holding up this baby i think a shotgun and covered the baby in dirt so then we were all getting held hostage by these guys who were on fire but then zombies a zombie horde starts running at us so idk what happened but I'm aang from avatar now and I'm doing this training to get rid of my mark and powers i think idk how getting placed in a fuckin tube and spinning around would get rid of aangs mark though and there was also a cow human with big fuckin boobs and we were talking in this cafe where the cow human was workin n stuff and we where talking with a girl who had been in this training for a long time and she says something about the cow human in the past was a angry bitch n stuff idk how my mind comes up with this stuff but yeah thats it i woke up writed this down and went to discord so i could post it

Stripping Process:
I'm walking in my waking life local downtown area towards Oregano's pizzeria.
I'm with my girlfriend's family. We've just picked her up. She's back from travel.
We go into the pizzeria building on the corner, but when we get inside it is my childhood home.
I decide I need to take a shower, so I head downstairs towards the laundry room.
As I'm stripping down, the names of process specifications from work are going through my head.
I'm reviewing them, and looking for one in particular.

The United States of Not In This Room:
Now I'm watching Markiplier play some Five Nights At Freddy's-like game.
There is an inventory at the top of the screen, with two cupcake icons taking up two out of five slots.
The cupcakes can be used to determine if one of the monsters is currently hiding the room.
I think about the strategy of that, about whether it makes sense to cover up two slots in exchange for that ability.
Mark decides to use one, and it indicates that the room is safe.
"Welcome to the United States of NOT IN THIS ROOOOOOOOOOM!" says Mark with his typical lively delivery.


Hello my name is Markiplier and I'm in your dream now.

Fragment:
I'm with J from work. He's excitedly showing me some drilled holes in an assembly.
He's excited because they are super smooth.

Posting a day earlier than usual due to the subject matter. (this is especially for Jamie if she reads these.)

Drugs

I'm at some woman's house. A woman is sitting in front of a coffee table. (Not sure if this was Jamie since she looked older.) On the table is a giant line of white powder. The woman is explaining to me that this is enough drugs to kill someone. She takes a razor and cuts a small section away and says this is safe. She was explaining it was a new psychedelic or something. The dream fades

what?

I'm in chilliwack or something... I'm with a woman that is supposed to be my future wife. We get into cars shaped like hearses... (that's not ominous at all..) The woman is older but when she smiles at me I recognize Jamie. We are holding one another.

I wake up... I get a weird voice that sounds like Jesus say, "I will take care of you after Jamie commits suicide." I'm like: what? I check in with her voice all day and she seems normal and fine.

next night:

Theater

A dream unrelated to Jamie. I was with a group of people and we went into a strange theater.

There was another small flash of Jamie but can't remember the subject matter.

I wake up and that same voice startles me again this morning with, "She's days away from passing away.". I spend some time in prayer asking Jesus if this is really him saying this? Is there anything I can do? Is this real, or am I losing my mind? The guy is just quiet on this. After some time I gt a sense to just put it in my dream journal and maybe he said.

now I'm not sure how to take these impressions. Especially since Jesus revealed to me in a big way, some months ago, a different future in mind for me and Jamie. Why would he suddenly contradict that? Or is it really him saying this? If it is a warning, maybe the drug dream is related. When Me and Jamie were friends I know she was into reckless drug use - her sometimes defending it as being harmless, like nothing bad is going to happen to her. But then again she was reckless after moving during an episode. Regarding that: I don't even touch any drug anymore or alcohol. I don't mind people smoking weed, but anything experimental or dangerous is not, nor will ever be, a part of my life.

I already lost a borderline Cousin to drugs. The one that died a few years ago. I remember at a time she was doing well, volunteering for police, doing all the necessary things so she could see her kids. Then she fell for the wrong guy, and went downhill over the next few years. This is why I also pray against counterfeit lovers that me or Jamie might encounter.

But seriously, allow me to list some of the people in my age group that I've lost to drug related stuff. My friend in chilliwack i went to high school with, his sister. A drummer me and my brother use to play with. Mine and my brother's other friend Brian, who's pregnant girlfriend found him hanging in a closet. My old neighbor in lethbridge, who got with the wrong woman, (She had a history of seducing men and using that to get them addicted to drugs. I still can't believe that people like that actually exist, but alas, I've seen the results).

So real or not, I feel i must leave a warning about this. I don't know if Jamie currently does any kind of drugs or anything as it's some years later. Borderlines do have a high statistics in suicide rate. I believe she's past that average age where attempts happen so at least pat herself on the back for making it past that. I've personally seen her grandiose side, that feels like nothing bad can happen to her. It obviously can. I'm posting this because It's real or I'm crazy - but it's out of concern. I, for one, remember that when when there wasn't a bunch of BS power struggles, that me and her got along better than anybody - and iot would be nice to have that again. We deserve a better ending than what happened.

Jesus said in prayer for jamie just to go to him with your concerns, he's always there.

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 7

Flight to Void
I hope I get lucid soon. Oh! This is still a dream! I begin to fly upward with a sense of urgency, seeing that the dream is going to void. Soon, I’m in complete darkness and begin to feel that I’m waking up.

NLD - Dwarven Axe
I’m playing some type of five vs five elimination match and I’m controlling one of the characters in first person. We’re in some type of outdoor complex with tan, brick walls. I have some type of mic communication with the rest of my team and I get word that one of our teammates dropped. I then understand that the other team is going to begin rushing in on us. A single dwarven-looking character in full, dark plate mail is standing far down on the other end of the complex. He's wielding a massive battle axe and appears to be ready to rush at me. I sense that the enemy team is right about to back him and we'll be overwhelmed.

summer competition 2024 - 12.7 (day 6)

i was sitting in the back of a car, noone else was inside, yet i was at an intersection, next i was somehow in the drivers seat and the car didnt do what i wanted, i went the wrong way on a roundabout and police instantly stopped me, i pulled over into this small park and i couldnt stop, it was a slippery slope. It barely stopped before falling off a cliff and i got out, then the car started to slide again so i tried to hold it, but it fell, i was really bummed about the entire situation so i jumped off the cliff, noticed i was fine, became lucid and jumped down again (+5), i was in a park with a lot of grass and the police officers were still chasing me, i cast invisibility and i could see their expression go blank because they lost me (+5), i walked towards a building that looked like my old dorm and suddenly a friend from school appeared and we fought (+2)(im re-reading opm so i got brawls on my mind i think), i was comboing him and after a while realised i should be getting points so i cast rocket jump (like in quake)(+7.5) to drop kick him from ~15 meters, had to repeat multiple times because he kept getting up, i then decided to fly as it is my 3-step task so i asked for wings (+5) and started flying (+5), i was flying above the city thinking about what elemental manipulation i should do when the twin toweres emerged from the fog, there also was a third tower which was a new building planned for a city in Czech Republic which looks pretty similar, my first thought when i saw them was to use them as a target for elemental manipulation and set them on fire, but decided recreating a terrorist attack where 2977 people have died is not very tasteful and figured eating something would be better and dropped down to a mall and into a ice cream shop, took someone's bowl and ate chocolate and wallnut icecream (+5), i ran outside but one of their employees was adamant about me paying, i wanted to run but she was really fast so i figured i could spawn her some money why not, then decided to give her a DV coin (+5) instead since that is more points and continued running on this grass plain till i reached a golf course where a kid with a mullet was playing and i woke up, i also recall opening a DV coin (+2) somewhere on the grass plain and eating the chocolate which was inside (shouldnt have a chocolate layer if yall didnt want me to eat it)

The bustling school corridors were filled with students exploring the myriad of clubs. As I wandered among them, my attention was drawn to a girl repeatedly playing an anti-racist message on a beatbox. The rhythmic chant lingered in my mind as I stepped outside for some air.

Amidst the displays, a large fish tank caught my eye. The fish inside were eerily still, prompting me to exclaim, "Hey, the fish are dead!" But as I looked closer, the water appeared, and the fish began to move slowly, as if awakening from a deep slumber. I could have sworn there was no water in the tank before, but now I saw it clearly, shimmering under the light.

Continuing my walk around the school grounds, a sudden realization hit me: I was dreaming. Emboldened by this awareness, I attempted to teleport, but nothing happened. Undeterred, I tried to transform a nearby tree into a goth girl. Again, my efforts were in vain, and the lucidity of my dream slipped away.

Determined to make the most of my surroundings, I approached someone I believed to be a friend. "Is there hockey here?" I asked.

She nodded, "Yes, we have country hockey." Puzzled by this unfamiliar term, I sought out the coach to join the team. His response was unexpectedly harsh, filled with insults. To my horror, he then began hitting a dog nearby.

Just then, another man, who seemed to be the real coach, appeared, brandishing a gun and behaving erratically. The situation took a bizarre turn as we all began chanting, "No 8 and his wife have been found and we are on our way to capture them" over and over again. The lights around us morphed into dramatic stage lights, casting an eerie glow on the chaotic scene.

As the lights dimmed and the chanting subsided, I awoke, the strange events lingering in my mind like a vivid, half-remembered story.

Dream #1:
I’m in an Airbnb using a toilet that’s in the middle of the room. I’m hoping cleaners don’t come into Airbnb, but I can hear them outside and close. The gardener opens back door then sees me. He’s surprised and leaves after he realizes the situation. Afterwards I go and start packing up all my clothing hoping to get out soon.


Dream fragments:
Chatting about lucid dreaming to someone and how I’m in the “second” out of three states

Three different creatures. Underwater in pool. Similar to cuttlefish fish. They developed a specific way of living to meet their planets conditions. Every is one slightly different. I have moments of flipping coin telekinetically with one of the creatures in the group

In this dream I think I'm WILDing but it turns out this is all just a DILD instead.

I was laying in bed trying to use my usual trick to WILD -- moving with my mind, instead of my body. I struggle a bit but manage, and suddenly I am walking around my room. Everything is dim and difficult to see. In bed I see my body and I laugh at it and make an L with my hand. It doesn't seem to like it because I see it punching me and suddenly I "awake" back to bed (FA, this is still a dream).

I go for the WILDing technique again. This time I go into my living room/kitchen. I go straight for the fridge and try to take something from there (might be copying what other people have been doing lately ). I try to take something from the upper shelf but I my arms are still quite difficult to control, so I go for the lower shelf instead. I take a box of grapes and eat two. The first doesn't taste like anything special, but the second one has a very weird taste which reminds me of pizza. I then turn to my window and want to open the blind, but am suddenly scared by what I can find behind them so I hesitate a bit. The fear makes me "wake up" and I am back in my dream bed.

Third time's the charm though and I go to the window, open it and walk out. The scenary is really nice, nothing like in real life -- a vast green field, with some small tree clusters and a river down the middle. The sky is very gray and there's a light drizzle, I can feel a cool, pleasant breeze on my face. I know it's daytime or early morning even though the sky is so dark. I walk around a bit and as I get close to the river I decide to fly. I float more than fly, but it's very effortless and it makes me feel really good. Then I wake up for real.

During this dream I was constantly hearing a bird singing, always the same pattern.

Lucid Dream:
I used MILD, reviewed my dream signs, and what I was gonna do lucid in that dream. Song “Hiraeth” by Clemens Ruh from prior dream kept playing through my head. Took me a while to fall asleep so I tried SSILD, which turned into WILD and I slid into light sleep paralysis. I asked for lucid dream, but nothing seemed to happen. I was super tired and felt awake in my bed. I assumed it didn’t work, but I worked up the energy to do a RC by looking at my hands. It took a lot of energy to move my hands through the sheets and lift my head. Lo and behold I had extra fingers, making this one of the most convincing false awakenings.

I immediately spring out of bed, and rub my hands to stabilize the dream. Everything is super vivid, however it feels like I have one eye closed so I spend a moment trying to regain depth vision. My first task is to control the elements. I’ve worked with water and wind before, and wanted to try fire for the first time. I lifted my hands in front of me and willed flames into being above my palms. It was really faint at first, but I imagined using my body heat/energy to ‘heat’ up the flames and they became more stable. Still fairly subdued, so I’d like to try again at some point. At that moment, a hyper-real, very physical/sensual man walked right up to me. I do not recognize him from waking life.

It was hard to deny his physicality and I could feel the warmth of his body and pull of his attraction. We chatted for a while and he wanted to engage in "things". We chat briefly about how it feels so real and physical, and if because of that it counts as much as in real-life.

At various points in our conversation I try to sneakily summon a wall that I can walk through since it is on my list as my second task, but unfortunately a wall doesn’t appear and the man is still a distraction haha. The scene shifts and I notice that the man now has the head of animal. This reminds me of my third intention which was to transform fully into an animal. I know it’s out of intended order, but seemed relevant for what was happening so I gave it a try.

I think of the leopard from my prior dream and feel myself morph onto all fours. I look down and see bright orange leopard paws and claws. They are little deformed and too bright so I spend a moment dulling the color and getting the shape right. At that moment I notice there is a wall in front of me. It seems like there are blue stained glass windows in the upper half, and I immediately think now's my chance to practice phasing through. In leopard form, I leap through, but realize I closed my eyes at the last second passing through so it doesn't count. I turn around and try again, but this time the wall almost flips aside like it’s a made out of flimsy plastic. I try one more time and make sure to keep my eyes open and focus on phasing through the wall fully and it works.

The whole time I’m doing this, the now animal-headed man is looking very confused and is trying to follow me back and forth through the wall. He ends up getting stuck on the other side after I phase through.

I end up landing into another false awaking, and do another reality check, but didn’t catch it that time so ended up slipping into a non-lucid dream.

NDL #1:
A group of us are setting a trap for the “enemy” but something about our plan fails and they find out. However the entity we’re up against plays “dumb” for us and sends someone to trip the trap anyways. This person turns out the be a friend. The trap is elaborate and involves him interacting with many different parts. I’m watching him from underneath some furniture so he cannot see me. Once he finishes setting the trap knowingly something changes - There is a brief moment where he is shown as a leopard running (in a new scene). Behind the scene I hear the song “Hiraeth” by Clemens Ruh distinctly playing and I wake up.

NDL #2:
I’m playing fiddle on the promenade next to a beach. I’m playing a slow Irish Air and a middle eastern family comes up intrigued by the tune. The handsome adult son walks up to me and says sounds it sounds like Afghan 'prison' music (not trying to be rude…more it’s just a lament and prison is a sad place to be). A friend pops in to say it’s Irish but originally probably British. Scene shifts to riding in the back seat of a car with the middle eastern man. He wants to play music so he brings out his instrument, which looks like a hammered dulcimer, but played with a short bow. He also brought a violin he can play. A friend is also in the car, and ends up borrowing the violin. I start playing Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór, and both the middle eastern man and my friend join in beautifully. He says this song is brighter than the first one I played, and I reply that is because I never got to the higher octave play through when he first heard it. Scene shifts and we’re driving through random parking lots. My sister, is in front of me now.

NDL fragments:
In a reoccurring area where conflict happens. Usually there are wooden arenas and hills in the area. In this particular dream I’m escaping a pursuer in a rock garden with a lot of cacti and succulents. I try and hide in the shadows to escape from the bright sun.

Advanced combat teams in circular looking submersibles are in a water combat course. They work their way up river firing projectiles from the submersible.

My mom is doing some sort of performance art in her office at home. There is a large crowd in the room so it’s hard to see the end, but her final act in the performance is to feign death. The crowd applauses at her performance and afterwords she goes with me to the buffet to get her sandwich.

**for clarification the below is a dream, I don't own a new property or house.**
I'm in a newly acquired home and I go outside to lock the main gate. I own a huge yard and I look outside the gate and see a mother with two children. I attempt to lock the gate, but the lock is broken. I go inside to retrieve a new lock and when I go outside, I only see the mother now, thinking the kids could have walked into the property I decide to leave the gate unlocked to avoid problems. I go back inside and want to become lucid, so I lay down and close my eyes.

I'm in the void floating around and the only thing I want to do is drive my car somewhere strange. "I want to find my car!" I shout into the void. Instantly the dream world begins to materialize and I'm in an unknown house. I have a normal dream body and decide to open the door to walk outside, the outside world bursts to life. I hear a really catchy retro video game music playing, it's nighttime but the streets and building are lit up with the orange shine of the streetlamps, there's probably 100 people walking around the sidewalks and cars everywhere.



I see a waypoint and I know it's telling me my car is there somehow. I follow it around the corner of the parking lot and find a floating empty white dotted outside of where my car should be. A mysterious jingle straight out of a detective show plays and I see in my upper vision a quest appears with the text. "Find your missing car."



At this point I'm in disbelief of how alive everything is, and I never imagined this scene playing out like this. I just wanted to get in my car and drive somewhere...I turn around and just take in the scene.

I watch one car turning the corner and as if a glitch or hitting a speed bump the car flies into the air for a moment. The driver inside goes limp and dies from the bounce. "Well, I found my car!" I cross the street and just as I'm about to enter it two people come bursting out of the adjacent building. One is my boss, and the other is an owner of a company I know of. "Jeremy!" he demands my attention.

"Yes?"

"Do you have the prints to c4?" (c4 referring to section c on the 4th floor of the building he just exited)

I've never seen this building before, and I don't even have a phone on me. I look in my hand and I'm holding a phone now.

"I don't have them." I tell him and he looks disgusted.

"Does my breath smell bad?" I cover my mouth. I catch myself drifting off and decide this isn't worth it so I turn back to the truck and to dismiss them I say out loud "I quit" When I turn back, they're both gone, I get into the car and start driving. There's some construction material in the way of the car but I don't care and just drive straightforward.

After driving for a bit my mind begins wandering and I catch myself losing lucidity once again but it's too late, the dream visuals have now frozen, and I can't make anything out and I wake up.

**I've been trying to direct my dreams and walking outside and driving was a scene I played out in my head a few times so i was really caught off guard when the dream turned into what it did.

Gamer Course:
I'm in a virtual reality simulation based on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
I'm excited (maybe a little pedantic) about noticing all the inconsistencies.
The hookshot is the wrong color (using the blue OoT sprite).
The area is similar to Lake Hylia, which is not in Majora's Mask.
...
Later I'm in a warehouse obstacle course, still playing as Link.
I'm carrying a hoody, a bow-and-arrow, and a box of donuts.
I'm stressed out about trying to carry it all and also perform well in the course.
I'm firing disposable plastic teeth flossers as arrows to try and hit targets.
I come to a cafeteria-looking area, where there is a group of gamer-people talking about the course.
There is some discussion about Facebook games, and somebody who tells a story about playing Playstation 1 with Michael Jackson one time.


Lake Hylia in Majora's Mask, apparently. Hookshot is in the only correct position. Fight me.

Carport:
I'm driving home from somewhere with J and H from the Tots.
Eventually we pull into a carport. This carport has appeared in several dreams before, but I don't realize that here.
At some point I switch cars and I'm with just J now.
There is an old woman between us in the front seat who is trying to type directions into Google Maps on a dashboard touchscreen.
She is going slow, but we try to be patient with her. She eventually fails and gives up on it.
Now she is an Animal Crossing looking dog-villager outside the car, and we are looking at her from inside the car.
J calls somebody else to come are pick her up.

NLD #1

Some game and/or tv show and/or soap opera adds a character named after "Luis van Guido" and they have just revamped his character portrait sprite. He has X confirmed kills (or 4 hours to first confirmed kill). My "grandmother" is excited about the news since it's something the hip young ones would also be interested in and is trying to pull up his sprite on her phone to show us but is only getting the old one. I go on the internet to find it myself. He is a handsome looking man with short dark hair and a beard.

NLD #2

Some guy is streaming painting some plushies which each represent various internet people. Before he starts, he takes pics from an old flip phone to show chat. This includes an artist I follow. At some point he also video calls someone who cheekily answers while in the middle of driving which is alarming. During one point in the call they turn around in the driver's seat briefly and we're like "please watch the road!"

LD

FA? I'm in my bedroom and become lucid, nose RC to confirm. With some effort I get out of bed and leave through the window. But before I do, I figure I should look around since I rarely do that. My bedroom is an older style bedroom this time with dark wooden panel wainscoting and frames hanging on the walls. The dream is pretty fuzzy, not very vivid, but I don't think to try and fix this first.

I head out and try to remember what I need to do for the LD comp. I end up on the roof of some building in daytime wracking my brain for some memories. I eventually remember about teleporting. I try to find a door nearby, going down to street level in this dingy alleyway, and see a door that's more like a wooden closet door. Briefly, I consider making my own door/portal because that would count as a personal goal but I figure I should start simple instead.

I open the door and crawl inside. It's empty, there's a shelf near the top, and it's cramped. I close the door behind me and first imagine the outside changing, but then I figure this could be like Narnia instead. I imagine the back of the closet receding and feel around for a second door. I don't have a specific destination in mind, so I open it and end up in what looks like a Muji, with products on display and all.

I am a little disappointed. I try to think of a specific setting and decide on Harry Potter. I find a properly sized door and go through. I find myself on this flight of dark wooden stairs. I squint (everything is still fuzzy and dreamlike) and try to reason if this place could be related to Hogwarts but it looks more like a regular university, like a old New England-style building. I vaguely imagine an auditorium-like setting in my head and keep moving. I don't remember what Hogwarts actually looks like, which doesn't help.

I end up in a dollar store or bookstore with aisles of items on shelves. Instead of worrying about it further, I look around for some magic wands on the shelves and at first see something that might be it, but turns out to be some plastic toy bubble maker. Screw it, I'll make my own wand. I hold both my hands out and mimic "pulling" a long piece of wood out of thin air between pinched fingers, like stretching taffy, until I get a long wand. The surface of it is bumpy and uneven. I try to Wingardium Leviosa something nearby but it doesn't work at first. I remember I need to actually "craft" a magic tool for the competition and try "enchanting" it by imagining a dark spiral pattern onto it and pressing some purple symbols into the wood. There is an older woman behind the front desk that reminds me of McGonagall who gives me some advice about the gesture (down and up).

(after this point I'm not 100% sure I'm still dreaming, though I don't think I feel my physical body in bed?)

I feel a wave of something that might mean I'm waking up at this point and am ""daydreaming"" instead. Feeling a sense of urgency/doubt, I follow the woman's advice and try to levitate a product on the counter and it works (? unclear)

I go outside after and think about what else I can do. I'm not sure if I'm actually dreaming or imagining things right now. I call out for A. just for the hell of it as I walk past a dimly lit construction site through an underpass, the right side of me blocked off by a blue wall. He actually appears around the corner, holding a plate with a slice of cake and a strange two-piece umbrella where the handle detaches. I'm surprised and glad that he's there. I feel the pulse of "something" again. I ask him about the umbrella and he says something about needing to allow or not allow some other people from using it? Unclear, but it's a mischievous vibe. I realize the cake is gone. I want to ask more but then I'm 100% awake.

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 5
1. Castle (LD)
I’m in bed in a dim room. Something feels off. I stand up, feel gravity and become lucid. I quickly make my way to the main upper hallway and begin flying over the banister toward the central upper window. I gently get pulled down, yet I grab the sill and yank myself up and continue to soar through the glass and into the front yard. I look around a bit and see the front brick walls. I hookshot to the top and zoom to the wall. I pick a farther point to the left as the building extends quite far. I hookshot higher up and zoom once again to a farther distance. I see another very large building even farther to the left with several terraces on the top of each portion which seem to have a lounge area - there’s a small glass barrier and people outside on what appear to be lounge chairs toward the edge. I fly around quickly just beyond the buildings, then zoom over. I land on an upper terrace and approach a seating area to the back. I see many people gathered and look to see if I recognize any. I smile and give one a high five and they smile back at me. I head back even farther and notice a dim room in the back that seems to be a mix between a theater and a bar. I look around and see a large wall unit in the back. I go for TK but it doesn’t move right away. I then turn toward a massive red couch in the center. I extend my arm and begin to lift it - midway at first, then right to the ceiling before dropping it back down. I finally decide to teleport. I explore toward the back and lower my right sleeve, looking for the gravity bracelet. I see the beads appearing around my wrist and begin to cast into the wall. I only see a faint outline of a portal appear. I turn to the left wall to cast, yet only see a slight undulating effect in the brick. I decide to simply phase in and walk straight into the wall. Once inside, I begin jogging in place to stabilize. I remember Silvermoon and briefly visualize it before a scene begins forming. I see a stack of massive as well as small stones stacked vertically to my left in the early dawn hours on a grass field. A castle looms in the back and a figure in what seems to be leather armor is in front of me - I think of Link. We begin to walk toward the castle which has blue, pastel type walls. It looks almost like it’s a cell-shaded type look. I enter the castle walls and begin to float up in the central area between spires. The dream begins to dim and I wake up.


2. Phoenix Leaves (LD)
I continue to walk toward the driveway of a house in Meadow and as I reach it, I become lucid. I walk toward the bottom and become curious as to how the DCs perceive things.
“How many of you know this is a dream?”
One in the back raises their hand, tentatively, seemingly unsure if they should be telling me or not.
Yeah okay I think, not really sure if there answer meant anything. I continue toward the bottom. I stop for a moment, and look at my hands, slowing down and focusing. My ring isn’t there as usual. I turn for flight and quickly lift upward, carve to the right, and float in front of the mailbox. I consider hookshot. I just did that…I don’t want to spam it. I lower back down and go for super strength up. I pick one of the DCs up with one arm and chuck him toward the driveway. I then go for teleport, thinking of Silvermoon. I raise my right arm but don’t see the portal bracelet. I go to cast portal into the mailbox, but don’t see much. I turn away and go to summon a phoenix. I imagine a red gauntlet, but don’t see one. I wave my arm toward a tree. I don’t see anything fly, but notice all the leaves of the tree seem to be an orange red, and quite long. I approach the tree and notice that on the ends of each branch, phoenix-bee hybrid type creatures are situated - almost as though they are leaves. I go to pick one up off of a branch. Soon I feel a sharp pain on the center of my nose. Is that from waking life? That actually hurts. I feel as though the skin on my nose is actually peeling. I should probably wake up to check on that. I wake up. Everything is fine.
