      Went to bed at 11:00PM.

      Losing Again
      I'm in a large hall with tables. Similar to a banquet.
      It reminds me of the cafeteria where we got told we didn't make finals in highschool marching band nationals.
      Don't know what the competition in this dream is, though.
      I'm with my team. There is a girl I don't recognize. We are younger than the other team.
      We are watching the announcement on a TV.
      My team is represented on the left and the other on the right.
      It gets announced that we have lost the competition.


      Woke up at 6:45AM, feeling groggy.

      Went to bed at 11:00PM.

      Fragment
      There is a beach on a starry night. Galaxies are visible in the vast darkness of space.
      The beach itself reminds me of GP's bachelor party from a few years back.
      Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are battling each other on the beach.

    3. Alternate Earth Semi Lucid

      by , 10-22-2023 at 04:25 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I am in a cafe on a brick street somewhere in 'europe', sitting with Marcus. Though I am shown a map of the world and see that the earth looks very odd compared to real life. He says that this company is culturally very similar to Germany though even though being at a modern/near future level of technology, their government puts a lot of resources into alchemy and witchcraft. This is not a part of the country's religious practice but rather a genuine scientific field.

      We ride in this black government SUV with these secret service guys to go see them practice alchemy. They do so in this big castle. Everything is very professional and organized. We go inside this large circular chamber with a vaulted ceiling which has scientists in lab coats drawing an alchemy circle on the floor. They put a small mound of [some kind of powdered substance] in the middle and turn it into gold dust. One of the scientists has a laptop and talks to chat GPT to ask it questions about alchemy.

      Marcus says we need to sneak away and go into an unauthorized area. We sneak away from the guards. The castle has a chapel though this alternate earth germany is not religious. There is a big golden cross with an ivory crescent moon behind it. Marcus says this is a denomination of christianity that never came to be in the real world but that they believed that the moon was god's kingdom of heaven. We go into a side room of the chapel where there is a library. Marcus pulls a copy of a Breif History of Time off the shelf and the bookshelf spins around to show a secret room.

      It looks like an old style library/office. It has about a dozen globes, each of different planets at proportionate sizes arranged in a sort of orrery type device. There is also several bookshelves dedicated to thick purple books with golden stripes. They are all written in alien glyphs. I see the alternate earth and the real earth and a golden tesseract in the middle. Stephen hawking is in there. He isn't wheelchair bound but is walking around with a cane. He pulls a silver revolver and points it at me, and asks "Did aliens build the pyramids?" I respond calmly saying "No, but aliens planted the rumor that they built the pyramids so that people would dismiss alien conspiracies as crazy to keep their secrets until the prime directive can be lifted."

      Stephen Hawking puts the gun away. Marcus says that I am free to look around but that he needs to help them discover the Consciousness constant in the universe and the two go over to a large blackboard to solve an equation. I understand on a base level what they are talking about, the consciousness constant is how much human consciousness is able to manipulate the universe. Since the men are able to do alchemy here, even with a lot of effort they are able to alter quantum states outside of their own brain so it must be higher than "Earth 1" which I know to be the waking world.

      ...

      Some time later, Marcus asks me to design a rocket engine. I remember I used a computer (it was like an old school 90s computer with a beige casing and CRT monitor, but I was somehow able to write and run an advanced gen AI algorithim to help me iterate designs). I then draft the specifications on an old style drafting table. I show him the rocket engine which is a methane-oxygen aerospike. I explain how there are flexible metal components that work like heart valves to control the fuel flow and vector the thrust, and that the engine has an ISP of 425 seconds. He says that it is a good design but that it requires technology the people in this world don't have yet to manufacture it.

      ...

      I am now playing the role of a 20-something black woman living in another country on this alternate earth. I am a part of a polyamorous relationship with 2 other black women. We live in this country called the "dragon islands" which is supposedly the best country in this alternate earth. The city we live in is this advanced solarpunk type place with all this organic architecture and these white drones which look like the robots from Oblivion. However despite being a beautiful city in a tropical island, it is actually a weird dystopian 1984-like nightmare where all of our lives are controlled by the government.

      I see a poster that shows a little girl maybe 3 or 4 who has a cleft lip sitting on a dinner plate with a knife and fork. The poster reads

      "Remember to protect genetic integrity:
      -No breeding outside of designated units.
      -Get your genetics tested for mutations.
      -Frequently eat all children with defects."

      Yeah this place is messed up.

      I go to my house with my wives. Our house is this weird large cavernous dark room. A doctor comes in along with some of the spherical drones and does a check up. He tells me I have terminal cancer that their society cannot cure and I must be terminated because the cancer is the result of a genetic defect I must be terminated. My wives seem upset about this, they stand like soldiers at attention but still but they are crying. One of the spherical drones flies over and a hatch opens up on the bottom. It hovers down over my head. I am inside the drone. It is pitch dark.

      "Hey uhh its Marcus. I hacked this drone. That body really is toast but I can get your consciousness out of there, I just need need to upload your mind and transfer you back to your body. This is a nerve relaxant but this might still be unpleasant. Their mind uploading equipment is bonified crap." *Clicking noise like a landline phone hanging up*

      I feel needles go into my eyes. I know they went in right through the pupils. all the way back up the optic nerve into my brain. I feel them inject something and it feels like there are ants running around inside my skull eating my brain. I feel very dazed, getting a lot of scrambled thoughts all at once and a lot of (well its not really pain, but sort of this unpleasant electrical sensation) working its way to the back of my skull. This one probably goes in my top 5 most unpleasant dream sensations.

    4. Breathing Into The Dream (LD) Highway Car (LD) S & SS (LD) PES (LD) PC (LD)

      by , 10-22-2023 at 01:04 AM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      Breathing Into The Dream (LD)
      I’m aware as a scene begins to form. I’m aware of my breathing as I see a white console beginning to take shape in the center of my field of vision. I notice a very faint bit of excitement beginning to form and set my mind to tempering it immediately. I begin to focus intently on my breathing, counting each breath. The scene forms fully and I begin to cautiously test if I can enter the scene. I slowly move my dream body a few steps and I’m in the scene. It appears to be an apartment of sorts with a fairly large pale red couch to my right. I continue to count my breaths for a short bit to stabilize. I see a square black TV on the console with some images on it and I check ot see if any video games are displayed, but don’t notice any. I head a bit farther into the back of the room an get the idea to search for a cocoa to practice some basic summoning and to stabilize. I imagine some on the floor in a mug to my right. I quickly find it next to the couch, pick up the mug, and sip a bit. The flavor is a bit muted. I then decide to find a large chocolate bar in the fridge that tastes better.. I head toward what appears to be a kitchen area farther back. I quickly find a stainless steel fridge, open it and find a bunch of salmon filets as well as some ribs. I grab a big slab of salmon and it’s really good. I begin to feel pretty hungry. I look up a bit higher, but quickly wake up.

      Highway Car (LD)
      I’m driving down a highway in the dim morning light and begin to think of lucidity. I become lucid. I’m navigating over what appears to be an overpass next to some large office buildings with a greenish hue. I float out of the car and begin to fly upward. I wake up


      Stump And Super Speed (LD)
      I’m in the backyard of the main house in Meadow. I think about wanting to get lucid. I become lucid and put my hands up in front of me as I do so. I fly upward a bit and turn to my left. I see a fairly large tree in the back left of the yard and consider practicing super speed. I continually imagine my dream body zooming to the tree while simultaneously imagine the tree moving closer to me. I repeat this several times. On many of the attempts, I’m nearly instantly at a new location, with my visual field cast downward. As I look downward, I notice a tree stump shaved very low to the ground with a very large diameter - probably two feet or so. This repeats a few times and each time I instantly revert to my starting area next to the house. I wake up.

      Practicing Earth Slam (LD)
      I’m in the backyard behind the main house in Meadow. I think of wanting to get lucid in the area, look at a plant, and become lucid. I float a bit farther, considering going into the dark woods. I then decide to practice Earth Slam a bit to work on element manipulation. Near the pool, I slam the ground with my right foot a couple of times, expecting shockwaves. Not much happens. I float a bit farther into the yard and slam the ground with my two hands clasped in front of me. Not much happens once again. I glance up toward the gate on the far end of the yard.
      I head toward the dark woods, imagining what will be beyond as the light begins to pour slightly through the trees. I stop near the fence and the shed. I get the idea that I should stop stabilize for a bit. I begin to look at my hand, slowing down a bit. I then wake up.

      Planetary Chat (LD)
      The boy continues to talk about planets and I think about getting lucid. I get a flash of lucidity and teleport to the edge of the room. I soon lose lucidity.

    5. Night of Tuesday 10/17/23 (DILD)

      by , 10-21-2023 at 09:50 PM (Dreamlog)
      Went to bed at ???

      Bad Pheromones
      I'm in a school/college situation. It may have been mixed with my work cafeteria. ER from work a few years back is there.
      I default to hiding my interest in her (as I did in waking reality), thinking that there is not a high likelihood of that interest being returned by her.
      There is a vague situation where I smell bad (lack of deodorant, dirty clothes etc).
      This makes the situation all the more tense.

      Recorded at ???

      I woke up from my alarm and started to get ready for work. I showered, dressed etc. But then I decided to call in for the day (and went bad to bed) because I felt crappy. So, that technically makes this a mid-morning WBTB, but I wasn't going for any kind of timing goal here.

      Went back to bed around 8AM.

      Getting Lost at Costco
      I'm at Costco with my girlfriend.
      I do a nose RC out of habit and
      become lucid. I also do a hands RC, and I have baby-hands branching off my fingers. Nice.
      I'm thinking that this is a great opportunity to try baked goods and see what they taste like in a dream.
      Ape-brain kicks in at this point though, and activities ensue with my girlfriend.
      She comments that since this is a dream, it doesn't matter that we are in public.
      After that, I try to find the bakery section but lose my lucidity before reaching it.


      Summoning Snow
      I'm at home and did a nose-RC in the hallway, becoming lucid.
      My brother is there. He had a nerf gun, but I mostly ignored him.
      I did stabilization (narrating, rubbing hands/feet). I had the presence of mind to try to stand still, observe the dream environment, and ground myself.
      The dream started to fade, but I managed to hold on. The same dream reformed, and I repeated my reality checks + stabilization. I felt pretty happy about this.
      I reflect that maybe past dreams 'fading' were just my brain attempting to wrestle lucidity from me and succeeding. But this time I beat it.
      I went out to the living room area, it's a long room instead. I wanted to go somewhere more interesting.
      I remember one method for traversal is association/reframing, and also that my previous attempts at portals have been lackluster.
      I think about where I would like to go and decide on a snowy place. I wonder what association might help my brain generate such a place.
      I decide to imagine an ice pick and search around the living room for one, but no luck. I head outside.
      There is a bit of snow on the ground, sort of like when snow that had been there previously has mostly melted. I find the ice pick on the ground in the yard.
      I vaguely recall seeing my brother outside too, but then there was an older woman there. Not someone I recognized now or then.
      The woman tries to advise me on lucid dream ability. She tells me that I have done well, but need to move on now.
      I take the advice to mean my summoning of the ice pick went well, but I should try something new.
      Where there is normally brick wall in my yard, there is a wooden fence. There is a beautiful New Zealand-esque grassy field landscape beyond the fence.
      I jump over the fence and fly into the distance.


      Alternate Silverlight
      I am in a futuristic city with silver skyscrapers, lucid, and flying around.
      I wonder whether this place is another interpretation of Silverlight (a fantasy forest I've been trying to get to).
      I'm in a crowd with some DCs. The DCs know I am there, lucid, and dangerous to them. They have been warned by something.
      I didn't do anything with these people and just flew off again, enjoying the dreamscape. This environment is much more interesting than my typical lucid dream fare.


      Recorded around 10AM.
    6. "After Death Experience" (NLD)

      by , 10-17-2023 at 10:01 PM
      In this dream I had "after death experience", and my emotions was really vivid. Also I had some kind of self awareness but it didn't make me lucid. I like this dream much. After waking up I felt some kind of fulfillment but still I feel a little bit of insufficiency because the dream ended to quickly.

      I was sitting or kneel. I don't remember what position it was but I was on floor. Also I don't remember where I was. A man with sword was in front of me.
      -Soon you will die - he said.
      -Do whatever you need to do - I spoke to him with paecefully voice.
      I knew I will die in few moments. I wasn't afraid of death but still I felt a litle bit stressed what will be after the death. Because of that I started to meditate in the same way like I meditate everyday before sleeping. I closed my eyes for a while and next I opened them and looked forward. The man swang his sword...
      I saw black non-dimention void. I didn't felt pain but I felt mix of bliss, stress and relief. Very weird but nice feeling. After few moments the black void disapeared and I saw white background with text. It looked like PDF document but without any HUD. I read first few sentences. It was a story but the story wasn't related with me. Also I don't remember what about this story was.
      -That's all? After death all what I have is this stupid story?
      I started to scroll down-up and I recognized the story have about 20 pages. I had in my head that thought:
      -Maybe if I will read this to the end, maybe after that, there is something more? Maybe some kind of reincarnation? If yes... where and when I will reincarnated? By the way... how much time already passed? Here it was like a moment but on the Earth? Minutes? Years? What if I will stuck here forever and the story will be my only entartaiment? It doesn't matter because I cannot change what will happen. First I need to read the story to the end maybe it is very important. And... potnetially I can be reincarnated so I need keep my knowlegde and safe my personality. I need somehow prepare myself...
      I didn't come back to reading because I woke up. And I woke up relaxed and with light feeling of warmth.

    8. On the edge

      by , 10-16-2023 at 04:05 PM
      My dreaming seems to be coming back. I'm right on the edge of lucidity. It's like I'm aware of the dream, but still embedded and not fully lucid. At present, I am working on achieving a deep meditation at the start of sleep.

    9. Night of Saturday 10/14/23 (DILD)

      by , 10-15-2023 at 07:54 PM (Dreamlog)
      This was another surprise. My sleep schedule has been terrible. I hope these spontaneous lucids lately mean that my work with dreamsigns and awareness is paying off!

      Went to bed around 2AM.

      Dancing with Cars
      I'm outside my childhood home. The yard looks like a mixture of heavy green and blue hues.
      I perform a nose RC and realize that
      I'm dreaming.
      My first thought is to try and stabilize, so I start rubbing the tree in the front yard. It's kinda wet, and I rub my feet on it too.
      The dream is very vibrant, with the aforementioned green and blue hues. I wonder to myself if this is what people mean by 'dreamlike'.
      I'm rubbing my hands and the tree trying to stabilize but the dream is fading. I started having a mental dialogue.
      Sure, this is fading, but even if we have to WILD back in, we should be able to save this attempt.
      I held on to the tree trunk, not wanting the dream to end.
      To my delight, the dream fades back in. My tactile sense comes back first, holding the tree, and then my vision.
      I walk away from the tree and I'm still rubbing my hands together. I narrate outloud what I'm doing as I move.
      "I'm dreaming, rubbing my hands, and walking."
      "This is a dream."
      "I'm dreaming, rubbing my hands, and walking."
      "This is a dream."
      I approach our next door neighbor's garage door and notice that instead of an actual garage door, there is a set of regular doors in a line.
      Perfect. I can use that to go somewhere new. However I'm not lucid enough to think about going to Silverlight Way (fantasy forest goal), and I decide that I want to go to Australia.
      Before attempting to open the door, I visualize a green/yellow hued, wild jungle. I really focus on trying to hear the bugs, animals, branches and all that. This aligns with Australia apparently.
      I say "Jungle!" and open the door.
      And as is tradition at this point, I see a boring neighborhood on the other side of the door.
      I shut the door, try again. Fail. This repeats a few times.
      On the final try, I get a slightly different looking area. The architecture of the buildings looks a bit more interesting and there is a highway structure with cars high up.
      I decide that is a more fitting setting for a lucid dream, so I go through the door.
      I emerge into a street, and out in front of me is a set of tall buildings and the highway up in the sky. It's definitely night-time here.
      I wander around a bit, enjoying the dream scene and sense of freedom.
      ...

      I'm in a plane-hanger, talking to a tall man that may have been a coworker from long ago. The plane hanger is in the same environment as before, but I lost lucidity at some point.
      He's telling me about an acne problem a current coworker, JG, has.
      ...

      I'm wandering and realize that I haven't flown yet, and my lucidity comes back.
      I take off towards the tall highway structure.
      Music starts to play. It's melancholy, upbeat, but also happy. I can still hear it and I'm wondering if the melody exists already in the real world. It reminds me of Foals a little bit. There was a repeating three note rhythm, and the final lyric in the pattern was 'stop' or 'shop'.
      I land on the raised highway structure. I think to myself that lately I haven't really demonstrated a high-level of dream control. I remembered some people on DV that talked about facing that DCs aren't real, and going through with dangerous situations.
      I look out to the oncoming traffic and decide that I'm going to interrupt it. I hover in midair on the highway, just a foot or so above the ground.
      The first car comes by, and it grazes me on my right side. As it approached it looked like it was moving around 75mph, but when it was close to me, it was more like 30mph. I slide my hand across it as it goes by.
      The music from earlier is still playing. The next car approaches, and I do a 'wax-on, wax-off' motion on my right side. The car wildly flips in the air and flies off into the distance. I'm flipping cars with telekinesis in rhythm with the music.
      It's total carnage, and I'm just like, vibin' with the music. But it turns out the DCs don't like to be tossed into oblivion, and cars start to park and queue up to block the road. They are getting out of their cars and approaching me. Chasing me.
      The music is still playing, so it doesn't feel like a nightmare. More like a music video. I'm flying, running, and jumping to escape them.
      Eventually I reach a garage-type area. BD from highschool is there, and he is trying to handcuff me with a bunch of different types of cuffs, but none of them are working.
      One of them though, works, and bands my hands together. It's made from a silicon-material, similar to my smartwatch band.
      ...

      There's a spinoff conversation about Apple TV remotes being smooth, and JG from earlier in the dream is showing off that she has a special edition one.
      I've lost lucidity at this point.

      Recorded at 7:25AM.

    10. Night of Friday 10/13/23

      by , 10-15-2023 at 06:48 PM (Dreamlog)
      Went to bed around 3AM.

      Home Assembly
      I'm at the bottom of a set of stairs. The stairs look 2D or paper-like.
      The house we are in doesn't look like somewhere I readily recognize, but it might have been similar to M and J's house from far back in my childhood.
      I'm with my girlfriend's family once again. They notice I am trying to climb the stairs, but having difficulty due to not being able to put weight on my shoulder.
      This is reproduced accurately. I actually have recently had surgery, and this makes some sense.
      One of the uncles uses a lever, and the stairs start to move from the bottom up, carrying me to the top.
      ...
      Later I'm in the kitchen of my Grandma P's current home. I'm with my T friend group.
      We are stationed around the kitchen counter island, and we are playing a competition or game.
      We are trying to assemble something quickly. Our friend J who moved away was also part of the game, but remotely. He finishes first, winning the game.


      Woke up around 2PM.

      by , 10-14-2023 at 08:44 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I am having a dream about driving my car and it runs out of gas in the middle of the road. I become semi lucid and change the dream scene. I am with my mother. We are moving into a small oriental styled village.

      There is hilly terrain and a large cliff to one side of the village. It drops off about a hundred meters of twisted igneous rock strata down to a beach. A long windy staircase zigzags down the cliff to the beach. I remember the dream figures there are speaking a language that I don't recognize.

      My mother is trying to find our new house but her phone's GPS isn't working. We find a building. It's sort of like a gym or dojo but has a really low ceiling, maybe 1.6 meters. We meet an older man there, he is the only one who speaks english decently well and shows us to a side room of the gym which is our new home. It mercifully has a higher ceiling than the other main room and has two very small bedrooms, one bathroom and a central sort of living room. I think it is nice accommodations but a little cramped. The older man explains that the reason I dont recognize the language is I time traveled forward several hundred years and the language is a mixture of mostly chinese, laotian and spanish. However he was a linguist and anthropologist who studied old earth languages and knows english.

      My mother then tells me that we could have a problem because I am allergic to tree nuts but all of the food in this culture uses genetically modified tree nuts as a staple food source. I say that it is not a problem and I need to change my form.
      I go in the bathroom and say "fourth dimensional shift transition" and switch from a waking self to my dream self. I then open my backpack and find several bottles of pills, though they're more like a chewy gummy candy. Its sort of like eating a salty taffy with sugar/salt crystals. I intuitively know what they are. Marcus modified my dream avatar body to not need to eat traditional food that much because apparently when getting it constructed I told him "having to eat is annoying". I can photosynthesize light. But there are certain vitamins and proteins that I can't make normally so these are vitamin supplements that make up for that. Ideally I take one at least once a week but I can ration them to once a month though I might feel weak or fatigued. I see that I have three or four bottles each with 144 pills though one is partially empty and think I am set for a long time.

      I go walking around looking for something. I walk down the long stone staircase to the beach barefoot, I think I am looking for Manei and know she is usually found on the beach. I am semi lucid and I am focusing on dream stabilization looking at my feet and feeling the texture of the cold stone. The sky is grayish/overcast and it is raining slightly. I try to envision her being there, but I get doubts in my mind. Marcus appears as one of his little robots and tells me that I am not on earth but a human colony on a planet called Kailejia'tura. He explains that it orbits a binary star and the two stars are 1.51 solar masses at 3.33 solar luminosities and 1.48 solar masses at 2.99 solar luminosities and the stars orbit about 42,000,000km apart.

      The system is about halfway between Woue and Earth. He says that humans are hear with several alien civilizations planning to build a dyson sphere that englobes both stars but because of the two stars masses on orbits they create a lot of stress and make it hard to build a rigid dyson sphere with their current technology but they need to do that because the computer will be built into the skin of the sphere and use physical wires of exotic matter that can transfer signals at faster faster than light. This will allow them to build the computer as big as they need without internal latency from the speed of light slowing down its thinking, since the sphere would be a few AU in radius singals could take half an hour to get from one side of the sphere to the other.

      The sphere is supposed to power a supercomputer that will tell humans and the various alien races how they can live together peacefully in spite of their differences and prevent cultural schisms of wars between the coalition. I ask him why they dont use a different star system and he says this one is important because it has large planets rich with resources they can deconstruct, is centrally located and also has the habitable planet with a population already on it.


      I get down to the beach and look in the water. I want to summon Manei and keep telling myself she is in there swimming or on a boogey board and I will see her any second. Marcus tells me that she isn't present in this timeline and I say that I feel lonely without her.

      "HEY!" Someone shouts. The jump-scare nearly makes me wake up. I turn and intuitively know who it is, MadMonkey. He is wearing a blue and orange Gi like goku and his hair is spiked out ridiculously like a dragonball character. But he has the facial hair and the little pentacle symbol in the place of the emblem on gokus outfit. His tulpas Juliana and Elminster are also present, with Juliana wearing a scandalously revealing purple swimsuit. I intuitively know this is a reference to her old first appearance as Blair.

      "I'm back for a rematch, and I brought the whole system with me! I want a 3v3! And I want you to go all out, no holding back!"

      "Manei doesn't like to fight for sport so it will just be me and Marcus."

      "Alright bring it on!"

      "Barrier On! Origin point: Monkey! Set Radius twelve." I shout.

      Monkey shoots laser vision. Elminster shoots a bolt of lightning from his staff and Juliana shoots the cruciatus curse at me from her wand. But all three attacks hit the barrier now centered on them. Though the laser vision is still blindingly bright as the barrier hex is 'translucent', but all the light is still coming at me. The dream shows the three attacks hitting from several different angles.

      "Set Radius decimal zero one."

      The barrier snaps to a much smaller size. There is a gorey snapping sound of bones being crushed as everyone is compressed to the size of a marble. I turn the barrier off and this little dark reddish marble drops in the sand. I walk over and pick it up, though it is heavy and seems to vibrate and swing around in my hand. Marcus explains that the compression made stable white dwarf matter. I ask him if he can make Monkey and his system respawn. He flies over and puts down a sort of holographic ring. Its a spawn point like in Halo forge mode. (His little ball form always reminded me of the monitors) Once he puts down three it makes 3 beeps and they respawn.

      "How did that not work?! We had such a good strategy! Jay would distract you and Elminster would hold you in place then I would land the finishing move."

      "You see I learned to lucid dream using schema and the expectation effect. I used the same powers over and over to the point that they are second nature. First I learned the fire jets, then the ametyst bow and now I am mastering the barrier. Once I learn the power and the expectation that it will work I can modif I do not think I can really beat you and I only win because this is my dream and I have the home field advantage. But the first time I used this barrier power I was not expecting it to hold up against that giant warhammer but it did. It also killed Azula and I used one to trap Jonathan. So the barrier exceeds expectations even when I consciously think I am in a situation that I cannot win. When I saw a similar situation that I felt like I could not win, I invoked the barrier again since it worked in a difficult before. Its kind of a paradox but I won by expecting I would not win because there was a previous situation that I expected I would not win and wound up winning. Most of what happens in a dream fight is just an aesthetic thing its about winning the mental game like that. I kind of got bored of having dream fights because they are cool but it would be cool if you got to win one, though I don't care who has the dream."

      I start to feel weak and tired in the dream. Marcus cuts in and explains that manipulating the barrier to create that type of crush force actually drained a lot of my energy and I should go take another vitamin. I lose the dream and wake up.

      1. Emerald Cloud Vortex (LD)
      I'm aware as I 'm winding down a staircase. There's green carpeting and the rails are wooden with golden pieces to fasten them. I feel that it made be hypnagogia developing into a dream. I begin moving slowly, winding down the staircase.
      I suddenly feel that I'm laying on the couch. I relax my body. I soon feel that I'm able to stand up. I stand up in the first floor of the Syrano main house. The details are quite accurate, yet a bit blurry. I begin rubbing the wall. Time to start exploring...I should grab some chocolate first, why not. head to the fridge and head to the usual slide out drawer. I notice eggs in the same position as waking life. I find a bag, yet when I turn and feel the contents, it seems that there's just gooey spherical shaped items inside. I return the bag and look inside the cabinet to the right, expecting bars. I find several of two different types, and grab two, putting one in my pocket for later and carrying the other. I take a bite and it's pretty good! I head to the sliding glass door to start the exploration. As I phase through, the blinds continue to stay in front of my face, gradually sliding over as I walk further outside. I quickly fly up and end up above the clouds in a short amount of time. The scene is absolutely beautiful. At first I see crimson and sanguine streaks of a deep sunset, yet from above the clouds, pouring from the clouds themselves. I'm amazed by the colors and they remind me of the main page of Night Club. A massive green vortex then begins to form from a cloud in the far distance. I it has a conical shape and continues to swirl intensely, an emerald hue emanating from it.
      "Oh oh God" I'm amazing by how awesome it looks. I continue to fly toward it and swoop down. The scene quickly transition to a snowy scene with a hard ground. Green tentacles extend from the snow surface in two area, sets of about five massive tenacles coming from each. I swoop around counterclockwise in the sky and extend my right hand to shoot a fireball at the first. A fireball hurls from my hand and travels about one hundred meters into the tentacles.
      "Yes!"
      I continue to fly around, going for a second fireball, yet the next is less vivid. I fly down to the surface, and land a bit farther down in the snow drift. The scene is very dark in this area and there are dense trees around me, yet quite a few meters away still. I'm concerned that the dream will fade due to darkness, so I turn to where the tentacles are, searching for light. I rub the ground and fly a bit farther toward where I came from. I make some more progress, rubbing the ground again. I wake up.


      2. The Two Temples (LD)
      I get out of the car, and the concept of 'dream' comes to mind. My awareness quickly raises. This is a dream
      I get out of the car and look around the scene. It's in the middle of the day and I'm in a parking lot next to shops of some sort that seem to be cafes of some sort. I realize the dream character who parked behind me in the Mustang headed in that direction, but no longer want to follow. I decide to explore in the direction of the cafes. I float over toward the right side of them. I enter a house and explored for quite some time. The walls are made of dark wood and there are many rooms extending in different directions. I float from an upper area over a banister to an area below. I make my way into a side room and realize I'm wearing brown flip flops. I should take these off; they're probably going to alert some DCs. I should find some quiet ninja shoes or just go barefoot. I turn to my right and see an entire kitchen area with the same dark wood decor. A heavy set, tall man with blond hair is baking a couple trays of muffins which are light yellow in color. One has wrap over it. I go to take two but decide to ask.
      "May I have some?"
      Baker: "You can have one"
      His name Thomas
      "What's your name"
      Baker: "Thomas"
      I knew it
      I look at the tray and notice that most of them are heavily caramelized on the top. I take one and take a bite. It's still warm and the taste is extremely vivid! It tastes just like it would in real life. There's a vanilla flavor and the texture is moist and fluffy as well. I leave the area, floating through the door into the adjoining rooms. The rooms beyond are fairly dark I make a sharp left and notice a dark staircase leading downward. I'm about to head down, but feel that the area looks a bit creepy. I turn and head into a room to my left. This room is much longer and has what appears to be a sofa inserted into the wall with a bunk above it. I think of telekinesis, and go to move on of the pillows to the left. It won't budge though. I ignore it for the time being and float into the area to my left. I sudden end up in an outdoor area with a massive staircase leading up to the left. The entire area is made of stone. There's a woman at the top looks at me and begins to ask me to do something. I interrupt her, changing the topic playfully.
      "What's that on your shirt?" I continue pointing, asking her about the picture, not really caring.
      I then fly way, to my right, thorough the middle of the stone columns. I feel a total sense of freedom and a rock song begins playing. The lyrics have to do with "waking up". I see a massive temple structure directly in front of me, raising roughly three stories high and it's massively wide. There are stone terraces that protrude far from the left and right sides. I turn to the right and fly in that direction in broad daylight in the direction of a smaller temple structure that's made of dark stone. There's a group at a round picnic table in the area in front and they smile at me. I'm interested in interacting and wonder if I'll see them in dream again. I don't interact, yet instead turn to my left and head toward one of the terraces of the main temple, wondering if the dream will destabilizes from such a long flight. I reach the edge of the terrace on the second level and begin walking toward the entrance of the structure. I see my reflection as I approach. I begin thinking about my illusory form practice. It's like I'm a traveler between worlds... I begin to reflect on the nature of the the experiences being witnessed by my awareness and the nature of the waking and dreaming state. I begin to wake up.

    13. been a while

      by , 10-14-2023 at 03:44 AM (MoSh's DJ: The Best Dream Journal in The Universe.)
      Let's start with... Jamie Dreams! There have been a few.

      1st: Vague dream where we might have been kissing or something.
      2nd dream: I wasn't lucid but understood the dream world so to speak. I was sitting in a living room with people. My dead cousin Kiah since 2021, popped up and was like, "hey, hello..." etc. And I asked her, "Can you do something for me? I need you to check someone name Jamie for me. She was supposed to show today but I can't find her." I specifically remember saying to Kiah to, "Just go through my memories, You'll find her." Kiah pulled a curtain made of nothing out of nowhere and wrapped herself in it making her disappear.
      Dream skips to where Kiah comes back and says that she had seen Jamie bragging someone that she had a "dream of only," boyfriend. (referring to me, also hinting that Jamie doesn't actually plan to talk to me in person ever. Which is pretty bad in my view, how about I just don't post dreams anymore about this subject. Me, I want a future without this insanity. I'm pretty sure Jamie can find loads of simps to stroke her ego because they think they have a chance. I'm not one of them. seriously.)

      I ask Kiah to show me. We teleport to some weird wannabe Harry Potter dream world. There's an english school. We go in. I'm in a role I think I've played before in this scenario. I'm in a teachers or principals office. 2 people are talking about a conspiracy or something. I just lose interest as Jamie's not around.

      This morning: Jamie at a funeral being sad, Second funeral dream about Jamie hm...

      Too many other dreams to really write down. Scariest one being I kept going into an elevator that would take me to a dark hallway where people were sleeping. A vampire would come by and kill them. not in the typical vampire way... In a way that's impossible do describe, you'd only have to dream it. (Raven if you still read these, try dream viewing this one. might be an exciting dream supernatural scenario that you're recently fond of) The guy would like teleport inside their skin and/or behind them, causing them to choke to death on a most horrific way. The guy seemed unaware of me. I saw this happen a couple times. I was also semi lucid at times.

      Driving dreams... almost crashing a LOT. Driving up and down impossible hills.

      One dream I had a really angry roommate or something. Walk on eggshells kind of guy.
    14. Night of Thursday 10/12/23 (DILD)

      by , 10-13-2023 at 08:45 PM (Dreamlog)
      This one caught me off guard. I've failed to go to bed at my planned times, so I didn't attempt a WBTB. But regardless, my brain decided to give me a lucid dream

      Went to bed around 3AM.

      Lucid Fruit
      I'm in the backseat of an SUV/minivan looking out the window.
      I get a vague sense that the world looks too bright so I do a nose RC.
      I can't believe it, but
      I'm dreaming!
      I look around and admire the world. It's a bright sunny day.
      I'm with a family. It might have been my girlfriend's but I didn't look closely.
      The car parks at a grocery store parking lot.
      I decide to roll withe flow of the dream and walk with the group to the entrance of the store.
      When we get in, I see a man stocking the fruit near the front of the store.
      I decide that I should stabilize and I start rubbing my hands.
      I try to remember if I have any specific goals in mind, but there is what feels like a block on my memory.
      I ask the man how I can better stabilize the dream. He tells me to touch all the fruits and feel the surfaces.
      I start to do this, but the dream fades.


      Woke up around 12:30PM.

      Was outside with friends and I saw 2 strange blue stars close together. I recognize this old dream sign and get lucid. I reach to the stars and everything else fades away as the 2 dance around eachother. I lose the dream and fall victim to a false awakening. I enter my dream on DV and get instant comments then I am somewhere with odd looking animals and have another reoccurring dream that I think I received and answer as to why.
